Zheng Dashan nodded. "We discovered this by accident. We didn't tell you this year because the quantity is really small. Next year I will have more grain seeds, and I will share some with you during the autumn harvest."

It would be a lie for Zhao Laosan to say that he was not touched. No matter what good things his second brother had, he would always think of them, his brothers.

"Brother, you don't need to explain, I believe you.

Although I don’t know what kind of food this is, but since you said it’s edible, I’ll take some home to plant next year.”

Zheng Dashan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I will always think of you brothers."

After everyone got the news from him, no one told anyone else, even his wife helped to lie and conceal it.

Zheng Xiaoman waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement in the village. He admired the friendship between his father and these people.

After the spring planting was completed, I unexpectedly found that there were still some sweet potato seedlings left.

The remaining ones could be used to plant about one or two acres of land. Old man Zhou took all the remaining sweet potato seedlings back with a smile.

Their family also bought land last year, and they used two acres of land to plant all the remaining sweet potato seedlings.

As for someone asking? Haha, that was given by my son-in-law, and I don’t know anything else.

It's not like everyone is idle at home with nothing to do every day, so they just go do something else after being curious for a few days.

If everyone knew that this grain yield could reach several thousand kilograms per mu, I wonder if they would still be so calm.

After the spring planting, the family had some free time again, and then we just had to wait for the wheat harvest in early July.

The Daqing Mountain behind the house has turned green. Zheng Xiaoman finally doesn't have to stay at home to cook every day. He happily carries a basket on his back and goes to the mountain to search for groceries.

This was the season when spring bamboo shoots matured, and Zheng Xiaoman invited a few sisters to go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots.

She also prepared some food and planned to have a picnic with her sisters.

When Zheng Xiaoman entered the mountains, he felt like a bird returning to the forest, and his whole mood became relaxed.

Even though she is a cook, it doesn't mean she really likes cooking.

Of course, she prefers to hunt for treasure in the mountains rather than busying herself in the kitchen.

Cuihua hasn't played with Zheng Xiaoman for a long time. Her family is planning to plant crops in the spring, and Zheng Xiaoman has to cook for the whole family every day. She feels embarrassed to come and disturb her.

A few people came out to play together today, and she was very happy.

"Xiao Man, I know a place with a lot of bamboos. I'll take you there."

Zheng Xiaoman held her hand and nodded, "Okay, let's go dig bamboo shoots first. I brought some food with me. We'll find a place to eat at noon."

Lijuan's eyes sparkled. "Xiaoman, is this what you were talking about before, what, what spring outing?"

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is our spring outing."

Xiao Cao said with a smile: "I like the term 'spring outing'. When we go out to play in the spring, isn't that a spring outing?"

Qiumei covered her mouth with her hands while laughing, "I don't know why Xiaoman has so many strange words in his head, but they all sound pretty nice."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled proudly, "Of course, I studied with my brother."

Speaking of this, Qiumei looked at her enviously, "Xiaoman, it's great that you can study with your brother. It's not the same in my family. No one goes to school."

Zheng Xiaoman turned around and looked at her, "Sister Qiumei, do you want to learn to read?"

Qiumei nodded, "Yes, he is illiterate and doesn't know where to go, just like a blind person.

I envy you for being able to read and write. You can go around town without any problems by yourself, but it’s not possible for us.

When we entered the town, we didn’t recognize any of the shops except for a few familiar ones.”

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's not difficult. If you want to learn to read, I can teach you. You can come here when you have time. It's easy to learn a few words."

This time, not only Qiumei, but even Xiaocao's eyes lit up.

Although they are girls, everyone says that girls don't need to be literate.

But they don't think so. It never hurts for men and women to be more literate.

Cuihua raised her hand and patted Zheng Xiaoman on the back, "I know that our Xiaoman understands us the best. Then we will come to you to learn to read when we have time in the future."

Zheng Xiaoman gritted his teeth at the force of her hand, "Okay, okay, just come."

Li Juan laughed and said, "Ah, so we have to call Xiao Man "Little Master" from now on?"

Cuihua: "Hahahaha, little master, little master, this is interesting."

Zheng Xiaoman was very upset. "You are trying to disparage me, right? If someone like me could be called a teacher, how embarrassed would you be if Mr. Fang heard about it?"

"Hahaha, then we will call you the female teacher and he is the male teacher, it doesn't matter." Lijuan laughed loudly. It was a rare opportunity to tease this girl.

Zheng Xiaoman quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Please let me go, I don't have the guts to answer your call of Master."

Several people were amused by her actions and started laughing. It was quite lively.

The birds perched on the trees were frightened by the laughter of the few people and flew up. Oh, these crazy women have come to the mountains again.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they arrived at the place Cuihua mentioned. Just as he had said, there was a large bamboo forest here.

So everyone split up and each of them took a small hoe to dig bamboo shoots.

By noon, everyone's backpacks were almost full. Zheng Xiaoman took out a large piece of gray cloth from his pocket and spread it on the ground, and then took out the snacks one by one.

She fried some meatballs and made some red date cakes.

In addition to these, she also roasted a lot of melon seeds and dried fruits, and brought her own special hawthorn juice.

Cuihua looked at the food on the cloth and said, "Wow, Xiaoman, you brought so many delicious foods. I brought some too, but they are far inferior to yours."

As she spoke, she took out some food from her cloth bag, including fried candies and some fried soybeans.

Next, Lijuan and the others also took out some food. Although they did not bring as much as Zheng Xiaoman, when everyone's things were put together, the amount was quite considerable.

Zheng Xiaoman really didn't expect that everyone also brought food. She smiled and said, "It seems that we really have a tacit understanding."

Cuihua sat down next to Zheng Xiaoman, "Of course, we are good friends. You don't know that people in the village now call us the Five Golden Flowers."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How did this title come about?"

There are also five golden flowers, which she thinks are almost five strange ones.

Lijuan laughed cheerfully, "We have two flowers here, one is Cuihua and the other is Qiumei. The five of us are always together, so later we were simply called the Five Golden Flowers."

Zheng Xiaoman was also intoxicated by this name. Forget it, just let it be a flower, it’s better than grass.

Little Grass: What did the grass do to piss you off? Why do you look down on me so much?

Several people sat in a circle with food placed in the middle.

It was a very novel experience for everyone to enjoy the scenery, chat, eat and drink at the same time.

At this time, the smiles on everyone's faces were so bright and cheerful, showing the innocence unique to girls of this age.

Even if we all grow old, we will still remember the beauty and joy of today.
