At the beginning, Old Man Huo was not very good at it, but Chen Wanniang carefully taught him how to identify it, and he quickly grasped it.

While picking mushrooms, I talked about homework.

Old Man Huo has improved his body and has become talkative. Chen Wanniang said whatever he asked him.

Chen Wanniang was curious about asking about the old man when he was young.

It turns out that Old Man Huo and his original wife Dai are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and have a very good relationship.

Later, when the imperial court fought, the government came to arrest people and joined the army. Old Man Huo, as the only male in the family, was naturally conquered.

Old Man Huo was already eighteen years old that year. Before leaving, he bid farewell to him. Dai took him several miles before stopping.

Dai told Old Man Huo that he would wait for him to come back no matter what, and they would get married when they came back.

Who knew that after seven years of war, Old Man Huo fought from a small infantry to a centurion, from a centurion to a thousand-strong commander.

When he returned from victory, the old general promised to reward him as the deputy chief, but the first thing he did was to go home.

My brothers told him not to go back. It took seven years. Who else is waiting for you? Why not follow the old general and have a future.

But Old Man Huo didn't listen to them, so he ran back without hesitation.

As expected, Dai did not lie to him. He kept waiting in the village and even served his seriously ill mother away.

The village childhood friend told him that during the seven years he left, Dai was under a lot of pressure. The matchmaker broke through the house, and his parents beat and scolded her angrily. Everyone laughed at her as an old girl, but she resisted it and was determined to wait for him to come back.

Old Man Huo was very moved. Seven years have not diluted their feelings, and time can only make their longing longer.

Old Man Huo immediately married Dai, and the couple went back to join the old general's subordinates.

Who knew that the deputy general's daughter had long fallen in love with him, and when she saw him marrying her wife, she was so angry that she tripped him up.

When Old Man Huo said this, he shook his head, "Human hearts are complicated, more complicated than war."

"What about that?" Chen Wanniang was so stunning when she grabbed a big mushroom.

"Then I was also young, and in anger I quit my job and took your mother-in-law back to my hometown."

Old Man Huo recalled the past and felt infinite emotion.

But Chen Wanniang never saw a trace of regret on his face.

Although my mother-in-law is gone, she has always been in her father-in-law's heart.

Before noon, all the two backpacks were filled.

Back in the yard, two large baskets of mushrooms poured onto the ground, and a large area was poured.

Chen Wanniang dug well water and washed her hands and face, "Dadfather, thank you for your hard work. Let's have dinner here today. I'll fry bacon for you for mushrooms."

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Old Man Huo waved his hand, "Youzhi's mother has cooked too, I'll just go back and eat."

The old man was quite stubborn and couldn't stop him.

Chen Wanniang made the meal and called Xiao Yue'er back, and after lunch, Xiao Yue'er pestered Chen Wanniang and told stories.

Chen Wanniang talked to Xiao Yue'er, and fell asleep after holding her back.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Chen Wanniang heard the movement outside when she got up to move her muscles and bones.

Chen Wanniang was afraid that someone would come, so she quickly pushed the window and saw that Old Man Huo came in with a basket on his back and fell down a large basket of mushrooms.

Looking at the large area on the ground, it was at least the second basket that Old Man Huo carried in again.

This old man.

Chen Wanniang quickly went out and called him.

"Dad, why don't you go back and rest? You've been picking one morning, why are you going again?"

"Hehe." Old Man Huo smiled and wiped his sweat, "Why did you see it? Oh, I'm not tired, so I went there twice. You said that there are so many mushrooms, so we won't pick them, so we'll pick them."

Chen Wanniang felt very distressed, "So what if I pick it? Is mushrooms that important? You must also cherish your body."

"I have a digit, mushrooms are not heavy."

"Then you are not allowed to go." Chen Wanniang was almost ordering.

Old Man Huo is like an obedient child, "I won't go today, I'll go again in two days."

"Oh." Chen Wanniang sighed.

Worried that the old man was so tired, he cooked some chicken soup that night and sent it to him.

The next day, Old Man Huo did not do it.

But he started to do it again on the third day. He practiced and made perfect. Later, he tied something with an iron hook. He could pull out mushrooms without bent over and pulling them out.

This makes it much easier to fit your waist. Chen Wanniang is really angry and funny.

The Huo family has eaten such a large number of mushrooms, fried and fried, for many days. Even if Chen Wanniang has a good cooking skills, Xiaochen and Xiaoyue'er are tired of it.

Chen Wanniang had to start the business of roasted wheat again, and drove a donkey cart to the town to sell roasted wheat every day.

It is much more convenient to have a donkey cart. When the little donkey is hungry, he eats grass and wild vegetables on the roadside, saving the donkey's food.

After a few days of busyness, I made another two taels of money through this shabby transaction.

Since Chen Wanniang often went up the mountain, she has also learned the terrain on the uphill. In fact, except for the deep mountains Huo Junan went to, this small hill was not too steep, nor was it just stones.

There is a large open space on the hillside, with all kinds of weeds growing, and there are thick layers of soil under the weeds.

This place must have at least one acre of land.

Huo Junan had no land, and Wang didn't give him a single cent when he was splitting up.

Chen Wanniang sat on the mountainside and thought for a while, then went down the mountain and headed straight for Zhao Sheng's Confucianism.

"Read the land?"

Zhao Shengru sat opposite Shen Wanniang. After listening to Chen Wanniang's narration, he was still surprised.

"You also know that my family has no land, and the land that can be rented in our village is limited. I just took a fancy to the wasteland on the hillside. I wonder if you can agree."

"I don't disagree with it, but the mountainside is very desolate. Are you sure you can grow food after it is cultivated?"

"I have thought about it. It is very inconvenient to irrigate food, so what I want to grow is herbs."

Learning is endless. Although Chen Wanniang is from Western medicine, she has never stopped studying traditional Chinese medicine, among which traditional Chinese herbs are also a very important part of it.

This is the first time Zhao Shengru has heard that someone grows herbs, which is very puzzling.

Chen Wanniang explained again: "Many herbs are heat-resistant and drought-resistant, and it doesn't matter if they don't water them much. Moreover, I sold herbs once before, and I found that some herbs are more valuable than grains when planted."

"It's inevitable. Medicine is a rare thing after all." Zhao Shengru thought for a while, "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Confirm!" Chen Wanniang was very confident.

"Okay, since you want that wasteland, I will make the decision to plant it for you."

With the goal achieved, Chen Wanniang smiled happily, "Thank you, Li Zheng!"

Chen Wanniang's smile was so bright.

Zhao Shengru was a little dazzling. Chen Wanniang today was really different from what she looked like four years ago.
