Author: Seven taels of broken silver

Cheng Miaomiao's excitement did not subside after returning home.

On the contrary, Zhuzi, who had been silent for the entire journey, suddenly started to vibrate. He ran quickly to the kitchen and shouted: "Grandma, we are back! I picked up eggs on the mountain and bought tofu!"

"Oh, my dear grandson is so awesome!"

Mrs. Zhao's happy voice came from the kitchen far away.

Cheng Miaomiao widened her eyes in surprise, watching Zhu Zhu running very fast carrying her exclusive small backpack, putting the basket down at the door of the kitchen, and then taking out the eggs inside like a treasure.

They obviously found this together!

No wonder Zhu Zhu had to carry a small basket on his back all the way!

He wants to take the credit!

Cheng Miaomiao puffed up her cheeks in anger, and rushed over to explain without thinking. However, when she was about to speak, someone covered her mouth. She looked up and saw that it was A Niang: "Uh! No, A Niang...

"

Ye Ning shook his head at her and whispered: "Let him go."

Cheng Miaomiao wanted to find someone to support her, so she quickly turned to look at her elder sister and elder brother, and found that they had no intention of stepping forward to explain. Why?

At this time, Mrs. Zhao suddenly heard an exclamation.

"This egg looks extraordinary. Even my old hens can't lay eggs like this."

"That's right, grandma, didn't you see that those chickens run so fast that you can't even catch them? This egg must be delicious!"

Cheng Miaomiao pursed her lips, "It's the second and third brothers who are chasing the chicken, so you will hide. What do you know?"

Da Ya and the others also had unfazed expressions on their faces.

Ye Ning led them to wash their hands, and then took out the medicinal herbs and wild vegetables in the backpack and put them away. Today, she also found a bush of wild grapes near the rock wall on the mountain, and she only picked half of the box.

Each grape is purple to black, as round and round as a pearl, and looks extremely delicious.

Ye Ning washed a small bunch and gave a few pieces to each child.

He reached out and touched Cheng Miaomiao's head again. Seeing her pouting, Lao Gao couldn't help but find it funny, and asked: "It's okay, it's just this time anyway, it will be better to remember it. Next time, I will give the small backpack to someone else to carry."

?”

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide and shook her head vigorously.

She thought for a while and then added: "You can't carry it for Zhu Zhu, but you can carry it for Sister A and Second Brother, taking turns!"

There are all things they picked together. If one person cannot carry it, they can take turns carrying it.

Ye Ning had a little smile in her eyes.

After they finished their work, Mrs. Qian came for a walk. Her eyes lit up when she saw the wild grapes. She reached out and took a bunch away. She smiled and said, "My brothers and sisters have a good harvest today. These wild grapes are so good."

Really good.”

As he spoke, he took off one and threw it into his mouth. His face immediately wrinkled up because of the sour taste, and he hurriedly sighed.

"Hey, why are these grapes so sour!"

It's a bit sour, but it will help you gain some face if you take it out.

Mr. Qian's eyes rolled around, and he said with some excitement: "I'm not telling you, brother and sister, you can dig something up every time you go up the mountain. Can you take me with you next time?"

"Okay, sister-in-law, if you want to go, you can come with me tomorrow."

Ye Ning agreed casually, handed her the tofu at hand, and said: "Sister-in-law, I still have something to do here, so please take this tofu and give it to mother."

Qian left happily.

Cheng Miaomiao was a little puzzled. He lay on her lap and asked with his face raised: "Why do you do this?"

Ye Ning casually scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Children should stay out of adults' affairs. You will know later. Now we should go have breakfast."

"Oh, okay then."

Cheng Miaomiao suddenly felt that being an adult was so tiring.

Not long after, Old Man Cheng and others who had gone to the fields early came back with hoes. Today's breakfast was no different from before. Each child's bowl was filled with rice soup with only a few grains of rice floating in it.

But it's a little different.

Zhuzi's bowl was full of rice this time. He took a bite of the vegetable pancake and then ate his rice.

Seeing such an allocation, Old Man Cheng was a little confused and asked, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Zhao said proudly: "Zhuzhu went up the mountain today and picked up a nest of eggs! He also went to the east end of the village and bought us two pieces of tofu. He will make money for the family at such a young age. Do you want to feed him?"

The Cheng family brothers were all a little surprised.

Aren't it always An Ning and the others who go up the mountain at home? Cheng Erlang was confused. He immediately turned to look at Ye Ning and saw her shaking her head slightly, signaling him not to say anything.

Mr. Qian also joined in, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect Zhuzi to be so lucky that he could pick up eggs just for the first time when he went up the mountain!"

"Zhu Zhu should be sensible at this age."

Old man Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone in the family praised Zhu Zhu's good luck, but no one mentioned Ye Ning and a few children who went up the mountain with him.

Cheng Miaomiao pointed her butt towards them and drank the porridge with a groan.

A map of Xiaohuai Mountain appeared in front of her eyes. The entire map was basically dark, with only a small area lit up. That was the place she had been to. This is what the illustrated guide showed after she had collected a hundred species of creatures.

of rewards.

But now on the map, there is a place with a faint golden light.

Cheng Miaomiao stretched out her hand and clicked, and the appearance there appeared in the air. It was the place where she met the chicks this morning. At this moment, a red-bellied golden pheasant with a long tail appeared there.

A group of bright yellow chicks surrounded it, chirping and complaining.

Realizing that all the eggs he had laid were gone, the golden pheasant cackled angrily, his black beady eyes full of anger, he flapped his wings, carried the remaining chicks on his body, and left quickly.

The golden pheasant was so fast that it disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

There will definitely be no more eggs to pick up after that.

Cheng Miaomiao put away the illustrated book with regret.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao's mean voice sounded again: "Now that we've talked about the eggs, Erlang's wife, please tell us about picking herbs and selling them to Dr. Zeng for money."

It sounded menacing, as if he was asking for an apology.

Pick herbs for money?

Is there such a good thing?

Everyone else at the dinner table didn't react, and all looked at Ye Ning.

Ye Ning was stunned for a moment, then explained the matter as expected, and said: "I think Dr. Zeng was just joking. Miaomiao just let her know what herbs she knew. I didn't expect that she and Daya Maodan picked them.

A few kilograms of really useful herbs were exchanged for fifteen cents."

"Fifteen cents, so much!"

Qian was so shocked that she almost screamed.

Da Ya and Mao Dan sat on the low stools uneasily, not daring to look at her.

Ye Ning said: "Qian Miaomiao and the others each paid three cents, and then Dr. Zeng said there was no shortage of that herbal medicine. That's what happened."

The Cheng family brothers were all surprised. They didn't expect that they could earn so much money just by picking herbs for a few days.

Mrs. Zhao frowned at her and cursed:

"Since this happened, why didn't you tell us earlier? If Zhuzi hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known about it. Are you deliberately hiding the money from us and not turning it over, right?!"
