Xu Fuwen's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "I know, Dad."

Xu Dongru said earnestly, "When you were in trouble before, it was Fuqiang who helped you. He blocked several blows for you and you couldn't get out of bed for three days because of the pain. The three brothers each live their own lives, but they are also separated from each other. If something really happens, it is still your family who will help you."

"Big brother, I inherited my tofu-making skills. I also taught you Chinese medicine and sent you two brothers to college. I paid for your education. There wasn't much money at home. Fuqiang knew it, and he made excuses like he didn't like eating so he didn't study. Later, he did hard work to make money. Now Qingzhi is back to grow vegetables and has found some ways to make money. As a brother, you shouldn't be jealous."

Xu Fuwen was reminded of the past by his father's words, and his eyes became hot, but he was more ashamed. "I know, Dad, I was really obsessed with this matter. I bought a house for Qinqin a while ago, and I was short of money, so I had the wrong idea."

"Well, as long as you figure it out, you can also talk about Guiying. I know the money I spent on medicine before, as well as the money the old woman spent on medicine. Eight thousand is about right. I'll give it to you when the time comes."

"No need, Dad. Guiying was just saying that out of anger. Besides, you don't have that much money."

Xu Fuwen knew this clearly in his heart. The old man had no money at all. The three brothers gave each of them 200 yuan and 100 kilograms of rice every year. During the New Year and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man would receive some red envelopes, and he would give some away. He didn't even have 8,000 yuan, let alone 4,000 yuan.

"Don't worry about the money. I'm going to give it to you. Okay, don't tell anyone about this. I'll give you the money later. Tell Guiying clearly and don't say those things again. I'm leaving now."

Xu Dongru pushed the door open and came out.

Xu Qingzhi sent grandpa back to his aunt's house without saying a word.

The younger brother-in-law was sitting at the door, watching from a distance and shouting, "Qingzhi, is that you?"

Xu Qingzhi responded: "It's me, my son-in-law."

The tricycle stopped at the door. My brother-in-law's house had no courtyard, just three steps.

"It's getting dark, why are you here?" The son-in-law saw the old man behind the tricycle and said, "Dad, you're here too, have you had dinner yet?"

He called inside: "Fuchun, our father is here."

Xu Dongru didn't want to stay here for dinner. His daughter was having a hard time, and he felt uncomfortable eating here. He said directly, "Let's go to Fuqiang's house to eat later."

Previously, Xu Qingzhi called Wang Yanmei and told her about picking mushrooms today. Wang Yanmei specifically called Xu Dongru and asked him to come to dinner, and the old man agreed.

Xu Fuchun came out.

Xu Qingzhi called out, "Aunt."

"Hey~" Xu Fuchun smiled and nodded. His right hand was shaking like a sieve due to illness. He shouted, "Dad, you and Qingzhi come to the room and sit down."

Xu Dongru waved her hand and handed over the bag. "I won't go into the house. I'm in a hurry to eat. These are mushrooms that Qingzhi picked. I came here specially to give you some."

"Qingzhi is really thoughtful." The son-in-law came out and took the bag and looked at it. "Wow, pine mushrooms. I loved eating this when I was a kid. But I don't know what these things are, and I'm afraid that if I pick them randomly and eat them, something bad will happen."

Xu Dongru said, "I picked these with Qingzhi, so you can eat them without worry."

"Old man, of course I trust you and Qingzhi to pick the mushrooms, but I don't trust myself." The son-in-law smiled bitterly, holding the mushroom bag, and complained: "The vegetables that were poisoned a while ago all died. Fuchun has been scolding me these days. Life is not easy this year. I can only wait until the rice is harvested in a while, and then go up the mountain to help people pick tea seeds to earn some money."

"Okay, just live your life well." Xu Dongru took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at his daughter's shaking hands, and asked, "How is Fuchun's hand? What did the doctor say?"

"It's the same as always. We can't find the cause. The doctor suggested that we go to a hospital in Kyoto. He said there's a hospital there that specializes in this area and might be able to find the cause."

"Okay, make your plans. Tell Fumin, Fuwen and Fuqiang in advance before going to Kyoto. They won't ignore it. If any of them doesn't pay, I will talk to them." The old man also said bluntly.

The son-in-law smiled and said, "I know, Dad, don't worry. Next year I will rent more land to make more money. Now Zhou Zhou and Heizi are working in Kyoto. If the whole family can make money, there is nothing to worry about. It will be quick."

Xu Dongru nodded: "Okay, you guys just have your own plans, Qingzhi and I will go back first."

"Okay, drive slowly on the road." The uncle waved his hand and praised: "Qingzhi, your father brought us some vegetables. I have to say, the vegetables you grow are really delicious, much better than those grown by my uncle. Your aunt has always had no appetite, but after eating the vegetables you grow, she can eat half a bowl of rice in one meal."

She said politely, "Just eat as long as you like."

"Can my son-in-law buy some vegetables from you then?"

Xu Qingzhi: “…”

She looked at her aunt's shaking hands and the dilapidated old house in front of her.

The words "two hundred yuan per pound" suddenly became hot in my mouth.

"No need. You and my aunt can't eat much. I grow a lot of vegetables. I'll go back and ask my dad to send you some more later."

"That won't work. The vegetables you grow are delicious and you sell them outside. It's not appropriate for me to eat them for free."

Xu Dongru said: "Okay, Qingzhi is also honoring you, so don't refuse."

The nerves on Xu Fuchun's right face were also affected by the illness, so he could only smile slightly and said, "Okay, then thank Qingzhi. The pond at the back is dry, you guys come over and fish."

Xu Qingzhi nodded: "Okay, thank you, aunt."

Xu Dongru waved her hand: "Okay, it's almost time for dinner, Qingzhi and I will go back to eat."

"Dad, please walk slower."

Xu Qingzhi drove the tricycle and took his grandfather back home, taking the remaining pile of mushrooms in the house with him.

The big bathtub that used to be in the house was moved out and used to wash the remaining pile of mushrooms.

It is quite difficult to clean mushrooms, so be careful with your strength to avoid breaking them.

Wen Shanshan and Jiang Xiao both came over to help.

If several people work together, washing will be faster.

Wen Shanshan said boredly: "Qingzhi, I was sitting under the persimmon tree, but I didn't expect to fall asleep. When I woke up, I didn't see you. It turned out that you went to pick mushrooms."

"Yes, we found a lot of mushrooms today. My grandpa is so good. He always finds a large area."

"Next time you go, call me along."

"OK."

A lot of mushrooms have been washed, and tonight will be a real mushroom feast.

Stir-fried big-head mushrooms with garlic sprouts, stewed chicken with blue-head mushrooms, stir-fried fir mushrooms, and stir-fried pine mushrooms with bacon.

There are also home-grown Chinese cabbage and tomatoes for scrambled eggs, stir-fried amaranth and chopped pepper fish.

There were so many mushrooms that we couldn’t finish them.

Wang Yanmei plans to make mushroom oil with the remaining mushrooms. She will add a spoonful of it to her noodles or pasta in the morning. It will be so delicious.

Three more updates, end.
