The next day, Qin Zijin got up very early and, in a rare act of extravagance, used half a pound of sugar to make sugar cakes for the two children.
The sweet and soft white sugar cake was loved by both Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan.
Children have no resistance to this kind of pastry and sweets.
After eating and drinking their fill, Qin Zijin and Tang Shen went out together, ready to take a walk in the mountains.
Miao Cuicui also came out of the house with Zhao Daniu at this moment. Seeing Qin Zijin, she greeted him with a smile: "Zijin, where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Sister-in-law, let's go to the mountains and take a look." Qin Zijin replied with a smile.
Miao Cuicui and Zhao Daniu exchanged a glance before saying somewhat embarrassedly, "We're also planning to go for a walk in the mountains. Seeing how much money you've made, and the New Year is almost here, so..."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, let's go together. I'll tell you later that those mushrooms are more valuable. You can pick more and sell them." Qin Zijin didn't care.
Miao Cuicui helped her a lot. It can be said that without her, she and her two children might have died long ago.
She also knows how to be grateful, so she won't become estranged from Miao Cuicui because of such a small matter.
Miao Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Zijin was not angry. She patted her chest and said with a look of fear: "I was afraid that you would be unhappy. In the future..."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? The mountain belongs to the village, not just to me. This matter will spread sooner or later, and more and more people will go into the mountain. Now we should make as much money as possible while no one finds out. It's such a big mountain, I can't finish mining by myself." Qin Zijin smiled and waved her hand, followed behind Tang Shen, and walked side by side with Miao Cuicui.
"That's right. Let Da Niu go to the town to sell them, and then we'll split the money." Miao Cuicui nodded, looking serious.
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of it." Qin Zijin also agreed with this idea.
When she makes some money, she will see if she can buy a bicycle. However, to buy a bicycle, she needs a bicycle ticket, and there is only one store that sells it in the town. A bicycle with a ticket costs two hundred yuan, and her current wealth is not enough.
A few people were talking and laughing, and soon they reached the mountain.
Tang Shen and Zhao Daniu went to set the trap, while Qin Zijin took Miao Cuicui to look for mushrooms.
"Your family's Tang Shen is actually really good. In the past, he was the most promising young man in the village. But you didn't know? He was the only one in our village who was admitted to university. What a pity." Miao Cuicui watched Qin Zijin skillfully push away the dead leaves and find the matsutake mushrooms hidden underneath. She couldn't help but sigh and talked about Tang Shen.
Qin Zijin dropped the matsutake mushrooms into the basket and turned to ask Miao Cuicui curiously, "Did you get into university? Why haven't you heard anyone mention this?"
"What would it be like if you passed the exam during that period? Who would dare to study? Later, it was said that the college entrance examination was resumed, but Tang Can had already married you." Miao Cuicui shook her head and didn't say much, but Qin Zijin immediately understood.
"That's a pity." She sighed.
"You don't know, many girls in the village wanted to marry Tang Shen. The girls who liked him could line up from one end of the village to the other, but he didn't like any of them. He just fell in love with you." Miao Cuicui said, looking at Qin Zijin with a teasing look on her face.
Qin Zijin's face suddenly turned dark.
The melon has fallen on your head.
She smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
It is difficult to explain in a few words what happened between her and Tang Shen.
The reason she married Tang Shen was largely because she was forced into a corner by the rumors.
Later, because Tang Shen was really good to her, she could feel his sincerity and gradually developed feelings for him.
As for now...
Her heart has changed. She is no longer the Qin Zijin she used to be, and her feelings for Tang Shen are not as strong as before.
Seeing that Qin Zijin was unwilling to say more, Miao Cuicui did not continue to mention this matter, but instead talked about other gossip in the village.
I have to say that Miao Cuicui is indeed very familiar with the affairs of the village. She talks about all the gossips in the village.
Qin Zijin also listened with great interest.
"Hahaha..." The two people talked in low voices and laughed loudly, which soon attracted the attention of two men in the distance.
"What are they talking about? They are laughing so happily." Zhao Daniu glanced in the direction of Qin Zijin and the others, and couldn't help but look curious.
"I don't know. Brother Daniu, let's go over and help first. We'll have to wait a while to know the result of the trap here." Tang Shen installed the trap, clapped his hands, and then said to Zhao Daniu.
"Okay, you set the trap by yourself. I don't have any credit. I might as well go and accompany my wife to dig some mushrooms and fungus." Zhao Daniu smiled naively and followed Tang Shen towards Qin Zijin and the others.
When they came over, Qin Zijin and Miao Cuicui stopped talking.
"Why don't you chat anymore? Is it because we can't listen?" Zhao Daniu looked at the two silent women with a face full of curiosity.
Miao Cuicui glared at him unhappily: "How come you own everything? Have you learned how to set traps?"
"I learned it. Tang Shen taught me everything." Zhao Daniu scratched his head honestly.
"Then come and help me remove these dead leaves. We'll see if we can dig up something good in them." Upon hearing this, Miao Cuicui directed Zhao Daniu to work.
Zhao Daniu responded and used a stick to push away the thick dead leaves on the ground.
Tang Shen also walked to Qin Zijin's side.
Qin Zijin just looked at him and said nothing.
Tang Shen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In fact, he also hoped that Qin Zijin could treat him like Miao Cuicui treats Zhao Daniu, and that they could get along naturally and harmoniously. For some reason, he always felt that Qin Zijin was a little cold towards him now.
"Zijin, I..." Tang Can stood beside Qin Zijin for a long time before speaking in a stammering voice.
Qin Zijin dug out a matsutake mushroom and said without looking up, "Help me quickly. There are a lot of things here. Let's move to another place after we finish digging."
As he said this, he continued to dig the soil in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Tang Shen quickly squatted down and accompanied Qin Zijin to look for matsutake mushrooms.
Qin Zijin didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Tang Shen’s luck was much better than hers.
She had just dug for half a day and only found a few matsutake mushrooms. When the Tang Shen came over, she dug one out with just a touch. In a short while, she had dug out several kilograms.
Qin Zijin stopped and looked at Tang Shen, feeling a little skeptical about his life.
Miao Cuicui and Zhao Daniu over there didn't get much either. Seeing Tang Shen throwing things into the basket one by one, they couldn't help but stop and go over.
"Zi Jin, this is the valuable mushroom you mentioned, right?" Miao Cuicui couldn't help but ask as she looked at the matsutake mushrooms that filled half of the basket.
Qin Zijin nodded, "Yes."
"My goodness, you have dug up a nest. You must have dug out eight generations of our ancestors, right?" Miao Cuicui's face was full of shock.
Qin Zijin glanced at Tang Shen and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Didn’t they dig out the eight generations of Matsutake’s ancestors?
