"Aunt, where have you been? I've been back for a while." When Zhang Qiurui came back, Zhang Mingqi walked out of the kitchen. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her aunt coming back.
Her younger aunt is younger than her, and they came to the county to study without adults to look after them. They are unfamiliar with the place, so she is afraid that something might happen to her younger aunt.
"Don't worry about me. I went to the commune to buy some vegetables. I'll stir-fry two dishes tomorrow morning and steam some buns to take to school for lunch.
"Mingqi, do you know who I saw at the commune?" Zhang Qiurui changed the subject, not wanting his niece to worry or pursue the matter further.
My eldest niece and I are classmates and go to school together. It will be inconvenient for me to go to the black market alone to resell things in the future.
No, I have to think of a way and find a reasonable excuse to get rid of my eldest niece without making her worry and suspicion.
Also, if you make money from reselling things, you must have a reasonable excuse to take it out. Otherwise, how can you support your family? How can you improve your current life? How can you explain yourself?
Oh, right, mushrooms.
Zhang Qiurui suddenly thought of something, his consciousness sank into his mind, he opened the trading supermarket and came to the vegetable area.
I found the place where mushrooms were sold and saw clusters of oyster mushrooms growing on a mushroom stick. They were fresh and delicious, and the price was marked at 0.5 cents per pound (one).
Zhang Qiurui directly recharged 0.5 cents to the trading supermarket to buy the oyster mushrooms.
The oyster mushrooms and mushroom sticks appeared in the backpack. Zhang Qiurui was overjoyed when he saw this scene.
As long as you have mushroom sticks, you can cultivate and grow mushrooms on your own. Mushrooms can be grown all year round, and you will have a steady source of income to supplement your family expenses.
With your family, becoming rich is just around the corner.
"Aunt, who did you see? Aunt, aunt?" Zhang Mingqi followed up her aunt's question. After waiting for a while without her aunt's reply, she looked up and saw that her aunt was immersed in her own thoughts and smiling foolishly. Zhang Mingqi couldn't help but sigh.
Her aunt had a cold and fever before, and although she recovered, it must have been her brain that was burning. Otherwise, why would she be immersed in her own thoughts from time to time, smiling foolishly?
No! I must take good care of my aunt from now on and don't let her get into any more accidents.
Zhang Mingqi made a secret decision in his heart. At the same time, he gently patted his aunt's shoulder and called out softly, "Aunt, aunt, who did you see? Tell me."
Zhang Qiurui seemed to be pulled back from his distant thoughts by this pat. His eyes gradually focused, and when he looked at Zhang Mingqi, a smile was still on his face.
"Mingqi, I just saw Zhou Tan at the commune. I didn't expect Zhou Tan's mother is a salesperson at the commune."
"I see that Wang Shi and Zhou Tan are wearing brand new, fashionable clothes without any patches. You can tell they come from good families. I guess their parents work in good companies." Zhang Mingqi said with envy on his face.
"Don't be envious, we will all have it in the future. The porridge is almost cooked, it's time to serve it for lunch. Mingqi, make the porridge thicker next time, otherwise, you won't feel full."
"Aunt, we have to save the rice and flour, otherwise it won't be enough to last us until next month."
"Okay! You decide." Zhang Qiurui felt a little toothache. There were so many foods in the trading supermarket, and she had money now, but she couldn't eat them openly.
Is she going to eat alone? It seems that it is not impossible. If she is extremely hungry, she will not care about others.
Lead your family to become rich and subsidize them, but the premise is that you don’t treat yourself badly.
"Aunt, we don't have much firewood now. Let's get up early tomorrow and go to the west mountain to pick up some firewood to burn." Zhang Mingqi cooked two large bowls of porridge, which was a little thicker than her mother's, but not much thicker.
"Okay, then get up early and collect firewood." Zhang Qiurui's eyes lit up when she heard it. She seemed to have found another way to supplement the family income.
When the time comes, go to the mountains to collect firewood. It is very easy to operate.
As for these days, only the members of the production team below would collect firewood for cooking. If coal was used, it was mostly used in the city. Although every household had a quota and would not be short of it, it cost money!
These days, every penny counts, and if you can save money, you naturally won’t spend it on coal.
Only in winter will people be willing to burn some coal for heating. At other times, people try to save as much as possible.

"Third brother, can you help me build some wooden troughs that are 80 centimeters high and one or two meters long, with round holes chiseled out at intervals of five to eight centimeters around the troughs?" While having dinner that evening, Zhang Qiurui planned to take the first step in his plan to make a fortune by growing mushrooms. The prerequisite was that he needed a series of special wooden troughs to serve as a breeding ground for mushrooms.
Zhang Qiurui couldn't get this thing, so she had to ask her third brother for help.
"What do you want these for? You want a few of these wooden troughs." Zhang Wenmin saw that it was just a small matter and did not ask any more questions.
Zhang Qiurui is the oldest daughter in the family. She is a dozen years younger than the youngest Zhang Wenmin, and the older one is in her twenties. Therefore, not only is Zhang Wenmin always particularly doting on this younger sister, but he also almost always grants her every request.
Zhang Qiurui's eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law almost raised Zhang Qiurui as their daughter and doted on her very much.
"I want to put these wooden troughs in the open space inside the kitchen. Third brother, please measure the space and build a few more for me. The more the better. Also, bring me some straw. I will need it.
I'm just doing an experiment, I don't know if it will work yet, so there's no point telling you now." Zhang Qiurui smiled and instructed her third brother, but she saw that Zhang Wenmin and Zhang Mingqi were both curious about why these wooden troughs were made, so she kept it a secret.
"Okay, you're the one with so many tricks. I'll make these things for you as soon as possible. I want to see what you can come up with.
Oh! By the way, you guys are studying in the county, so I only go back one day a month. I usually go back at the end of the month, and next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will go home on that day.
In addition, the school has one day off a week. You can stay at home or go out and play with your classmates on that day, but remember to go home early.
The county is different from our production team. There are many people and eyes, especially at night. Try not to go out alone.
As for studying, you should also pay attention to it and spend more time on books so that you can have a good future.
Although our family isn't wealthy, and Mom and Dad live frugally, they always want you to read more and see more of the world. Don't let them down." Speaking of this, Zhang Wenmin's eyes were filled with anticipation and exhortation.
"Uncle San, don't worry, we will study hard and live up to the expectations of grandpa, grandma, parents and you." Zhang Mingqi was the first to express his opinion, with some determination in his voice.
