Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 216 New Ideas

"Yeah, not bad, not bad. This time it's even sweeter."

An Yue and Chun Zhi each held a basket around their waist and picked the fruits quickly.

An Nian was very full. He lay on the ground covered with leaves, rubbing his bloated belly and said, "These raspberries are so delicious! Nian Nian is a little full."

Seeing An Nian lying comfortably, An Yue smiled and said, "Now that Niannian has eaten his fill, can you help pick up some firewood and put it in the backpack?"

"We came to the mountain with a backpack, so there's no reason for us to go home with an empty backpack!"

"Okay, I'll go right away, Nian Nian." After saying that, he quickly stood up, picked up the sickle and went to chop the dead branches.

The sun slowly set, and Anyue and Chunzhi's baskets were almost full.

Chunzhi looked at the two baskets of raspberries and asked with both joy and worry, "Miss, we picked so many raspberries, can we sell them all by tomorrow?"

"We'll sell as many as we can! If we can't sell all of it, we can bring it back and make jam."

"Jam? What's jam?"

An Yue's words aroused Chunzhi's curiosity again.

"Just wash them clean, remove the raspberry butts and mash them into paste, and that's jam." An Yue explained to her simply.

An Yue and Chun Zhi picked two baskets full of raspberries, walked towards An Nian who was not far away and said, "Niannian, it's getting late! Let's go home!"

"Okay, sister." An Nian came to An Yue holding the dead branch he had just cut off.

An Yue suddenly saw that An Nian’s forehead was covered with red swellings.

An Yue quickly asked, "Niannian, what happened to your forehead?"

An Nian pouted and said unhappily, "These mosquitoes keep biting me. It's really annoying!"

An Yue walked up to An Nian, checked carefully, and confirmed that it was a mosquito bite.

Chunzhi, who was putting firewood sticks into her backpack, said: "It's getting close to summer now, and there are more and more mosquitoes. As soon as the sun goes down, mosquitoes become rampant."

After hearing what Chunzhi said, An Yue suddenly had a new idea in her mind.

As for this idea, I will have to wait until I go to the town to inquire tomorrow before deciding whether to do it.

An Yue looked at the red and swollen bumps on An Nian's head and felt both distressed and wanting to laugh.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come to this mountain every year."

An Nian said nonchalantly, "I get bitten by mosquitoes every summer. Don't worry, sister. These lumps are nothing serious and will heal in a few days."

After that, he smiled at An Yue again and continued, "Niannian likes to eat raspberries. Even if she gets bitten by mosquitoes, she still wants to come."

An Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You! You are indeed a greedy little cat!"

After saying that, the three of them walked towards home.

An Nian was walking in front carrying a hoe, while An Yue and Chun Zhi were walking behind, each carrying a basket full of raspberries.

"Chunzhi, when you wake up tomorrow morning, go to the western slope and cut some banana leaves like you did last time."

"Okay, miss."

Along the way, they chatted with each other, and headed home with a lot of harvest.

It was almost dusk when the three of them returned home.

Chunzhi put down her backpack, drank half a bowl of water, and walked towards the kitchen to prepare dinner.

An Yue went to the open space outside the courtyard gate, pinched a few pieces of mint, rubbed them in the palm of her hand, and walked towards the kitchen while rubbing.

After a while, after rubbing it, she said to An Nian: "Niannian, turn around."

An Nian, who was handing over firewood, turned around and asked in confusion, "Sister, what happened?"

"Apply this to the area bitten by mosquitoes. It can reduce inflammation and relieve itching." An Yue said as she squeezed the juice from the mint leaves into the palm of her hand and then applied it on An Nian's forehead.

An Nian took An Yue's hand, looked at Bo He carefully, and asked, "Sister, what is this?"

“It’s called mint.”

"Can this mint be eaten?" An Nian asked after smelling it.

An Yue smiled and tapped An Nian's nose, saying lovingly, "You! This big guy has grown horns from the bites, why are you still thinking about eating!"

An Nian said seriously: "The seniors said: If you eat, you will be strong. If you don't eat, you will be thin. If you want to grow stronger every year, you naturally have to eat more."

Chunzhi, who was washing vegetables behind the stove, heard what An Nian said and couldn't help but say, "The young master is growing, so he naturally needs to eat more."

"Niannian, I have to remind you, be careful not to get fat like a little ball!" An Yue said with a smile, then turned and went to Chunzhi.

She said to Chunzhi, "Don't move. You've got bites on your face, too. I'll wipe it off for you too!"

Chunzhi stopped what she was doing and said, somewhat flattered: "Thank you, Miss. Chunzhi is thick-skinned and has thick flesh. It's okay."

An Yue pretended to be displeased and said, "Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense! We girls, how can we say that we are thick-skinned!"

"Miss..." Chunzhi was so moved that she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by An Yue.

An Yue said to Chun Zhi: "We are all young!"

......

The second day, early morning.

An Yue and Chun Zhi got up early, and An Yue made breakfast in the kitchen.

Chunzhi went to the western slope to cut banana leaves, while Annian was cleaning the yard inside and out.

After the three of them had breakfast, An Yue went to the east ear room to feed the silkworms, An Nian fed the puppy Ba Shi and the chicks, and Chun Zhi fed the piglets.

After everyone had finished, there was still some time left, so Chunzhi used banana leaves to divide the raspberries into small portions and then tied each portion up.

An Yue put the sauerkraut, pickled spring bamboo shoots and Chinese toon into the backpack one by one.

After everyone had packed up, they went back to their rooms to change into clean clothes and get ready to leave for town.

After the three of them arrived at the main road, they waited for Li Wu's ox cart by the roadside.

At the end of the Mao hour, the eastern side of the sky turns grayish white.

Li Wu's ox cart passes by this road at this time almost every day.

After a while, Li Wu's ox cart came over and the three of them got on the ox.

After two quarters of an hour, we arrived at the entrance of the town.

The three men got off the ox cart.

An Nian was walking towards the school at the west entrance of the town when An Yue called him and said, "Niannian, wait a moment."

An Yue bent down and took out a few raspberries from the basket, preparing to give them to An Nian.

"Take these to the school and share them with your seniors. Let them have a taste, too."

"Okay, then Niannian will thank the sisters on behalf of the seniors!" An Nian took the raspberries from Anyue's hand and said with a smile.

"Niannian, remember to send one copy to the teacher first, and then distribute it to the seniors!" An Yue waved at An Nian.

Watching An Nian walk away, An Yue and Chun Zhi went straight to Wanfulou.

Come to the back door of Wanfulou.

When the servant guarding the back door saw that it was An Yue, he came forward from a distance and said to An Yue very respectfully, "Miss, are you here?"

After saying that, the servant prepared to take the backpack from An Yue's back.
