Ripe large tomatoes

Seeing Song Dongdong's face distorted, Song Shixia picked two more.

"Isn't this sweet? Try this one I picked."

Song Dongdong didn't dare to eat it, and Maodan took it with some doubt.

He was delighted and said, "This is sweet and delicious!"

Song Dongdong was very depressed. Why were the two kiwis he picked so sour?

"Quick, take out your baskets and pick some to take back."

Song Dongdong was reluctant: "Who will eat such sour fruits if I pick them?"

Song Shixia kept picking fruits: "Why not just pick the soft ones? What's the point of just picking the good-looking ones?"

Song Dongdong picked one at random.

"This one is soft enough, try it."

Song Shixia pinched it and found it was indeed mature.

Peel off the skin and put it into your mouth, an indescribable sour taste spreads in your mouth.

Song Shixia quickly spat out: "Is this a fruit grown on a tree?" No wonder no one picked it because it grew at the foot of the mountain. She was just lucky to pick the sweet fruit.

Song Dongdong was very angry: "Even kiwis bully me."

Song Shixia thought, "Pick them and bring them back to my parents to make wine. That will be my revenge for you."

Song Dongdong thought that he was clearly being treated as a laborer, but he still quietly worked with Maodan to pick kiwis.

Song Shixia saw wild persimmon trees on the mountain, but unfortunately all the persimmons had been picked. She was distracted, and a pile of large orange-red persimmons appeared at her feet.

When Song Dongdong and Maodan caught up with their backpacks, Song Shixia asked them to pick up the persimmons on the ground.

"I was lucky today. I ate sweet kiwis and also picked up a lot of persimmons."

Song Dongdong slapped the tree and grimaced in pain.

"Why? The last time I went up the mountain with them, all the persimmons had been picked. Even the green ones were picked."

Sugar is a luxury these days, and ripe persimmons are sweeter than sugar or honey. Children living at the foot of the mountain are greedy for persimmons and would rather pick the green persimmons in advance and keep them at home until they are ready to eat.

Song Shixia shrugged: "I can't help it. Who made me lucky?"

Song Dongdong grabbed a persimmon and took a bite, his face changed instantly. The juicy and soft flesh tasted 100 times better than any fruit he had ever eaten.

"So sweet! Why don't we cut down a persimmon tree and bring it back?"

Song Shixia extinguished his enthusiasm: "Wake up, the trees on this mountain are collective property. It's good enough to have something to eat. If you want to occupy the trees in the village, be careful or your second uncle will chase you and beat you up."

Song Dongdong felt hopeless, so he asked his sister for permission to eat one more persimmon.

"Eat it. Don't eat too many persimmons. You won't be able to eat them when you get home. Don't just look at the hairy eggs. Take them if you want to eat them."

Song Shixia was strolling leisurely on the mountain, and his two little followers fell behind him, rummaging around here and there.

She turned around and asked: "What are you two looking for?"

Song Dongdong said loudly: "There are medicinal herbs on the mountain. If we find them, we will be rich."

Song Shixia found it funny: "Do you know the medicinal herbs?"

Song Dongdong said confidently: "I have seen people in the city collecting them, and I have remembered the most valuable herbs."

With his luck, Song Shixia didn't believe he could find any valuable Chinese medicine.

Song Shixia turned around with a smile and was nearly tripped by a tree branch. She was still in shock and was shocked by the scene before her.

She saw a small patch of Ganoderma lucidum growing underneath the branches and leaves.

“Huh.”

Song Shixia stood up holding the tree. She had been to a Chinese medicine store before to buy herbs for making wine, and this was indeed Ganoderma lucidum.

"Dongdong, come and see."

Song Dongdong ran up in two or three steps.

"What's wrong, sis?"

"Look, is this the valuable herb you want?"

Song Dongdong followed her sister's line of sight and looked down, her eyes wide open like bells, and her speech became halting.

"Sister...sister..., is this really Ganoderma lucidum? Am I seeing things?"

"You'll find out once you dig it up. Remember to be careful."

She also had Lingzhi in her space. The one she bought was cultivated Lingzhi. It had been grown in the space for several years. She didn't know whether it was wild or cultivated. Song Shixia had never thought of selling it. People who knew the business could tell at a glance whether it was wild Lingzhi.

But this is authentic wild Ganoderma lucidum, which is definitely more valuable than cultivated Ganoderma lucidum.

Song Dongdong knelt on the ground, carefully dug up the soil with his hands and dug out seven or eight Ganoderma lucidum.

Song Shixia said disdainfully: "There's mud in the cracks between your nails, don't rub it on your face."

Song Dongdong's clothes, pants and face were covered in mud, but he didn't care at all.

"Sister, our family is going to get rich."

Song Shixia shattered his expectations: "It won't sell for much, a few hundred at most."

This Ganoderma lucidum is a little small. It will be more valuable if it is grown for a few more years. Song Shixia himself doesn't even think highly of this mini Ganoderma lucidum.

Song Dongdong was not discouraged: "A few hundred yuan is still money! We can't earn a few hundred yuan even if we farm for several years."

Song Shixia agreed: "That's true. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat."

"I'll leave the Lingzhi to you. Please take good care of it. When you get home, ask me to see if you can sell it."

Song Dongdong was puzzled: "This is the Ganoderma you found, and the money from selling it is also yours."

Song Shixia shook her head: "No, sell it and use it to support my family. I don't need this little money."

Song Dongdong disagreed, but he did not continue to argue with his sister and decided to give her the money when the property was sold.

They had already reached the halfway point of the mountain. Because Song Shixia did not take the usual route, this route was different from the usual route up the mountain. There were no traces of human presence on this route.

Song Dongdong rubbed his arms and said, "I've never been here. It's obviously a mountain, so why does it feel colder here?"

"This is the shady side. It's normal to feel cold without sunlight. It's time for us to go down."

We picked wild kiwis, persimmons that she contributed, and some unexpected wild Ganoderma lucidum. It was a great harvest today.

Song Dongdong wanted to go further up, what if there were more Ganoderma lucidum up there?

"No, there are no wolves on our mountain, but there are wild boars. I don't feel comfortable taking care of you two kids."

Song Dongdong muttered softly: "It's obviously me, a man, who is protecting you."

Maodan then said, "I am also a man, I don't need my aunt's protection."

Song Shixia asked: "Can you please have two men escort me down the mountain?"

Song Dongdong led the way. The fallen leaves on the mountain were piled up and he slipped with every step. He accidentally fell on his back and slid a long way. He was carrying a backpack and was like a tortoise that was turned over and struggled to get back.

"Oh, this mountain is just trying to make things difficult for me. It uses kiwis to sour me and makes me fall when I walk."

Song Shixia laughed so hard that she was out of breath.

"Poor little wretch, who told you to walk so fast?"

She took off the backpack and supported her brother, but suddenly her eyes froze and she let go.

Song Dongdong was caught off guard and fell on the ground again. Thanks to the thick leaves on the ground, it didn't hurt much, but it was embarrassing.

Song Dongdong complained unhappily: "Sister, what are you doing?"

Song Shixia's eyes sparkled.

"Dongdong, we are going to get rich."

Ginseng, and it’s wild ginseng!

Song Shixia didn't let her brother do it. She dug the ginseng out of the soil herself.

Just by looking at the size of this ginseng you can tell it is of unusual age, it is almost the size of a baby's arm.

Song Dongdong and Maodan were so nervous that their breathing stopped.

Maodan asked him, "Can I buy a lot of candy?"

Song Dongdong made up a story: "I can buy up all the candy in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Song Shixia poured all the fruits into the same backpack, took out the small vegetable bag that Maodan was carrying and put in soil, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

"Look at how successful you are. You eat so much sugar and you're not afraid of tooth decay."

Song Dongdong curled his lips. His sister must have forgotten the candies she used to trick him with before, and now she even disdains eating candies.

As soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I met someone I didn’t know very well.

The other party looked very surprised: "Student Song, I didn't expect you to be here."

Song Shixia handed the bag of vegetables to her brother, and Song Dongdong hid behind her and covered it tightly.

"What's up?"

Wu Tianlei smiled and said, "I specifically asked for your home address so that I could persuade you. I hope you can think carefully about going to school. After all, you are the student in our town who has the best chance of getting into college. You even beat me in the exam. I believe that as long as you are willing, you can definitely get into the Normal University."

Song Shixia: ...

She wanted to laugh: "But why should I apply to a normal university?" It has been a long time since I met such a self-conceited person, and I even couldn't understand his train of thought.

"There is a shortage of teachers in our town's schools. I hope you can devote yourself to education and build our hometown together."

How should I respond to this? If I say I don't want to, I will be held hostage by morality.

Song Shixia smiled at him and said, "I think you may have misunderstood me. My wish is to be a good wife and mother, and now it has come true."

Wu Tianlei's expression was very disapproving.

"Since you have the ability, why don't you contribute to society! We can't just stay at the level of love affairs. As long as we all contribute selflessly, society will definitely become a better place."

Song Shixia could hardly help rolling her eyes.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and mine is not here. Please make way."

She could already hear her brother grinding his teeth behind her. She estimated that if he didn't have a mountain of gold in his arms, he would have had a quarrel with Wu Tianlei in person.

"I am very disappointed in you. I never thought you would become this kind of person. Your mind has been corrupted by capitalism."

Song Shixia sneered softly: "We are not related, you have no right to be disappointed in me. In fact, I have long forgotten who you are, so can you give in?"

Wu Tianlei's face turned pale and he was reluctant to give way.

"Student Song, you are marrying a city guy now because you are young and beautiful. He can easily win your heart by driving a car, and he can also win the hearts of others. You will regret it when he gets tired of you one day."

Song Shixia didn't even bother to look at him: "Please take care of your own business. It's not necessarily glorious to eat up the whole family. Bullying orphans and widows will be punished sooner or later."

Wu Tianlei's attempt to sow discord failed and he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He said so much for his own selfish reasons. He had a crush on Song Shixia for a long time. But his mother was bedridden and there was no money for him to go to school, so he had to marry the daughter of a butcher as a live-in son-in-law. He didn't like his uneducated wife at all. He had no resonance with his career, and she would always use the children to kidnap his conscience. She would talk about money all the time, and they had nothing in common when they slept in the same bed.

Song Dongdong held the vegetable basket tightly, preventing Wu Tianlei from seeing his own gold mountain.

After walking a distance away, he finally shouted at Wu Tianlei as if in revenge.

"My brother-in-law is a university teacher, not a capitalist! As long as my sister is willing to study, she can easily get the top score in the exam!"

Song Shixia almost slipped and she grabbed Song Dongdong's ear.

"Do you want a beating? Don't just give me a flag! If you want to test me, test yourself!"

Song Dongdong smiled smugly: "Sister, you have to have confidence in yourself. My brother-in-law is a teacher at Yenching University. It should be easy for him to teach a top scholar, right? By the way, what is Fu Laige?"

Song Shixia was annoyed: "What have you learned about English? You want to learn it yourself."

When he got home, Song Dongdong brought the vegetable bag home and announced the good news.

Song Qiusheng didn't believe it: "Can your luck be so good? I don't believe it with Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng."

"Really? Look."

Song Shixia closed the door and said, "This has nothing to do with Song Dongdong. It's all my fault."

Song Qiusheng agreed: "It wouldn't be surprising if you found out."

Song Dongdong was angry: "Brother, why don't you believe me!"

"Because your sister is lucky, how can you be lucky if you step on dog shit when you go out?"

Song Dongdong went back to the room angrily, and Song Chunxia came out of the kitchen.

"Real Lingzhi? I've never seen a live Lingzhi before."

Song Shixia couldn't help but say, "Sister, your words are too scary. Isn't the living Ganoderma lucidum a spirit?"

Song Chunxia smiled and said, "Let me see, why does this Ganoderma look so small?"

Song Qiusheng interjected: "It was picked up because it was small. If it had grown bigger, it would have been discovered by others."

Ji Weiqing came out of the house.

Song Shixia waved to him.

"Come and see the Ganoderma and Ginseng I found."

Ji Weiqing was a little surprised. Are Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng so common in the countryside?

Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are complete contrasts.

Ginseng looks gigantic compared to how small Ganoderma lucidum is.

Song Shixia said proudly: "It would be very nutritious to stew chicken soup with two Ganoderma lucidum."

Song Chunxia: "Tsk tsk, these two Ganoderma lucidum can be sold for 100 yuan, isn't it extravagant to eat them like this?"

Song Shixia said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? It's just a small amount of money anyway, why not try it first?"

Song Qiu Sheng agreed with both hands: "We can just stew the two smallest ones in soup. I don't think they will fetch much if we sell them."

Song Shixia looked at Ji Weiqing again: "Tell me what you think, do you want to sell it or eat it?"

Ji Weiqing said without hesitation: "I agree with your point of view."

Song Shixia looked at her sister and said, "The minority obeys the majority. Sister, you can use it to make soup. Dad and mom have worked hard in the fields for most of their lives and they need this soup to nourish their bodies."

These words touched Song Chunxia's heart, and she no longer hesitated.

"Okay, then I'll put it in the soup pot and cook it."

Song Shixia smiled and said, "Go ahead, it's just two small Ganoderma lucidum."

When Song's father and mother came home from working in the fields, they learned that two Ganoderma lucidum were added to the chicken soup and they were reluctant to drink an extra bowl.

After much persuasion, the children finally agreed to drink half a bowl more.

After dinner, with her elder sister around, Song Shixia didn’t need help in the kitchen.

It was not even seven o'clock yet, and there were already many children gathered at the gate of the house.

Song Shixia leaned against the door: "What are you doing here?"

The children said, "Let's watch TV!"

There are more than one house with a TV in the village, but hers is the only one with a color TV.

"Please go in and don't litter."

The familiar theme song sounded. Song Shixia took a look and saw that the protagonist was a little bald head.

Song Shixia took advantage of the fact that there were many people around and asked Ji Weiqing to bring clothes with her to the river.

"I brought a basin with me, so it won't be washed downstream."

Ji Weiqing felt heat in his ears.

"Don't let anyone hear this."

Song Shixia found it funny when he thought about it.

She deliberately said, "Why don't you help wash my clothes?"

Ji Weiqing's ears turned even redder: "Let me finish washing first. Underwear cannot be mixed with other clothes."

After his face finally cooled down, Ji Weiqing finally took the initiative and changed the topic.

"I saw that man this afternoon. What did he want to see you about?"

Oh, is he jealous?

Song Shixia pretended to be calm: "What else could it be? It was just to persuade me to take the normal school entrance exam and return to the county town to build my hometown."

The last chapter was locked in the middle of the night yesterday. It was changed beyond recognition. I can only say it's a pity that you didn't see it. I won't dare to do it next time (will I dare)
