Nan Chen suddenly clapped his hands, "Ah, I remember, you once said that in the year we got married, you were still young, and you fled to Funan County with your parents. Later, your parents starved to death, and you stuck a straw on your head, saying that you wanted to sell yourself to bury your parents. Later, you were bought by a wealthy family for one or two taels of silver to be a maid. Later, you were old and were sold again by your employer. It just so happened that Song Dashan wanted to go to the county town to buy a woman for me to be my wife! He just happened to buy you."

"is it?"

"Yes!"

Nan Zhaozhao was frightened by the slap Nan Chen just gave her, and she thought something had happened to her father!

Nan Ye said, "Dad, what are you doing? Look how scared you are to my little sister!"

Nan Chen hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry!"

Ms. Dong was very quick. She scooped two spoonfuls of flour and spread a few pancakes on the bottom of a stainless steel basin. She also scooped up some wild fern and stewed a pot of hericium erinaceus soup. "Look, this is fresh hericium erinaceus. It tastes so delicious!"

The whole family couldn't wait to enjoy the food. Nan Zhaozhao was clamoring to eat by herself again. Ms. Dong had no choice but to use the paper bowl she had used to eat instant noodles to fill her bowl with half a pancake and a handful of fern. "Drink the soup later. It's still hot now. I'll give it to you when it cools down a bit!"

Nan Zhaozhao agreed, "Okay!"

The time of eating is always happy, but also very short. Before she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, Sister Hua came outside with all the women and children in the village. This scared Ms. Dong, "Sister Hua, what's going on? Why are you all here at my house?"

"Sister Dong, you know that everyone in our village is new and no one is rich. They heard that you know a lot of edible food, so they all came to you to teach them how to identify it!"

"So that's what happened. I was shocked. Well, I'll make some arrangements and then go up the mountain with you guys!"

Nan Chen looked unhappy, "You want to go up the mountain again?"

"What else can I do if I don't go up the mountain and stay at home?" Ms. Dong seemed to have found a way out in life. She was going to walk towards her sunny road with her head held high!

Looking at his wife's confident and radiant back, Nanchen felt that he should also find his own direction of effort!

In the afternoon, the village chief asked Nanchen to go to his house to discuss how to build the house. Nanchen dug out a piece of open space with his feet, then picked up a branch and started to draw. "The temperature here is low, so we should try to build the house shorter and with thicker walls, so that the thermal insulation performance is higher. Dig a smoke exhaust channel on one side of the house to be used as a kang! For the overall aesthetics, the houses will be arranged in rows, and each household will be given a private plot in front of the door to grow small vegetables!"

Zhao Yunchuan was a little confused. Farmers have always been free to build their houses however they want. Why would they listen to Nan Chen's opinion and dictate how they should build their houses? "Wait, you just said you want to dig a smoke exhaust duct under the house? What are you going to do with that?"

Nan Chen slapped himself on the forehead again. He found out from the original owner's memory that people here had not started using the kang yet. He thought it was in the previous life when he was building a house in his hometown in the countryside, so he said this naturally! "Village chief, I can't explain this to you for a while. When the house is built and the reserved pipes are reserved, I will show you how to do it. Then you will understand!"

It's so weird, and there's still something that can't be explained? But Zhao Yunchuan just thought about it in his mind, and didn't say it out loud, "Okay! Let's go and gather the strong laborers in the village and see how many people can be used!"

On the mountain, Ms. Dong and Sister Hua sat under a big tree to rest. Both of them were sweating profusely. Ms. Dong said, "Sister Hua, I want to go to the county town tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Sister Hua was stunned. "What are you going to do in the county town?"

"Selling wild vegetables. I picked several kinds of wild vegetables and mushrooms today. I plan to take them to the county town to sell them!"

Sister Hua opened her eyes wide, "No, Sister Dong, are those mushrooms really edible?"

"It's edible. We even had some soup at noon. There won't be any problem now!"

"Oh my god, you don't know how many opportunities I've missed to make a fortune. For example, I saw so many Hericium erinaceus you mentioned, but I didn't want any. And I've also seen quite a few of the mushrooms you picked later!"

"It's not too late to know now. There are still ferns. If the fresh ones can't be sold, we can take them home, cook them, dry them, and sell them as dried vegetables. This is our money, and we can't get away with it!"

"Well, Sister Dong, I will follow you from now on. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"

"Are you going to the county town tomorrow?"

"Go, let my two girls go with the group to cook tomorrow!"

"Well, we'll go there early tomorrow morning. Do you know the way to the county town?"

"Yes! I've been there several times!"

The two adults in the family went about their own business. Nan Ye also went up the mountain, saying that he was going to collect firewood. Nan Zhaozhao was bored at home. No one knew what the second brother was thinking about. He just sat at the door in a daze!

Nan Zhaozhao walked over and threw herself into Nan Huai's arms, muttering, "Er Guoguo, I want to go out and play!"

Nan Huai rubbed Nan Zhaozhao's head lovingly and replied, "No, someone has to look after the house. Oh, little sister, come here, let me smell you to see if you still stink!"

Nan Zhaozhao shook her head repeatedly, "Well, it doesn't stink, it doesn't stink!"

The brother and sister laughed and played for a while, and Nan Zhaozhao began to feel sleepy. She took a can of milk powder from the space, which happened to be suitable for children aged three to eight. "Er Guoguo, what is this? Can I eat it?"

Nan Huai really didn't know what to say, "Xiao Bao, tell me, do you know how to read? Did you do it on purpose? Well, tell the truth!"

Nan Zhaozhao stared blankly, and replied halfheartedly, "Well, tell the truth!"

Nan Huai said with a smile, "You clever little thing, wait for your second brother to make you some milk powder!"

The bottled milk powder was on sale, and it just happened to come with a milk jug and pacifier. Nan Huai mixed 100 ml of it with warm water, and then put it into Nan Zhaozhao's mouth. Hmm, one sip, just one sip, Nan Zhaozhao actually fell in love with the taste. Her eyes widened and she was half sleepy. "Er Guo, what is this? It tastes so good!"

Nan Huai smiled and held Nan Zhaozhao to sit on his lap, then replied, "You're still asking, isn't this the milk powder you just took out! Do you like it?"

Nan Zhaozhao nodded frantically, "Yeah yeah!"

"Then remember this." Nan Huai picked up the can of milk powder that had been resealed, "Remember, these two words, milk powder, that's what you're drinking!"

"milk powder!"

"By the way, Xiaobao is so smart!"

Nan Zhaozhao smiled and silently engraved the word "milk powder" deep into her mind!

One hundred milliliters is not much, and Nan Zhaozhao finished it in a short while, "Er Guoguo, it's over!"

"There's nothing left after you finish drinking it. Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll make you some more!"

“More!”

"Well, rush more!"

Nan Zhaozhao was really sleepy, and soon she started snoring in Nan Huai's arms!

When the family came back in the evening and heard that Xiaobao had found milk powder for himself, they were all very happy. Nanchen smiled and said, "Children should drink more milk, so that they can grow faster!"
