After dinner in the evening, Shitou began to teach everyone to read words: The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless.

After being taught many times, several people had forgotten everything the next day. Of course, Liu Huan was just pretending.

Shitou always memorizes what the Master teaches very quickly. Liu Huan really admires him. Could this be the legendary Wenquxing descending to earth? Thinking back to the first time he carried a goose on his back, he forgot it the moment he turned around.

They were reluctant to use the paper they bought, so they wrote and drew on the ground, which was very inconvenient.

Liu Huan remembered what he saw in his previous life, people using sand to draw and write. Although there was no sand here, there was soil.

I took Xiaoshi to get a lot of fine soil, put it on a large wooden board, wrote a word, erased it, and continued writing. I had a lot of fun.

When Shitou came back and saw it, he asked Su's father to make him one with baffles on all four sides. He filled it with mud and took it to school. The villagers saw it and imitated him.

When the chicks started to grow feathers, Xiao Huang stopped laying eggs.

Su's mother took Liu Huan to buy eggs. Aunt Lian pulled her aside and asked, "Didn't you buy them earlier? How come you finished them so quickly? You can't always spoil your children. Money is so hard to earn."

This time, she bought twelve eggs, but Su's mother still didn't tell her what she was buying them for. On the way back, she kept feeling guilty: "Your Aunt Lian was thinking about us, but I kept everything from her. I'm really..."

Liu Huan thought about it and said, "Mom, when we make money in the future, we will just tell them how to hatch."

Only then did Su's mother feel better.

After removing the weeds, we started preparing firewood. In ancient times, firewood was used to do everything, and it was impossible without firewood.

Some villagers even went to the town to collect firewood and sell it at five cents a bundle.

Liu Huan had never been to the mountains before. Firstly, she was too young and her mother Su wouldn't let her go. Secondly, she didn't dare to go to the mountains in places where there were wolves.

This time she insisted on going with them, just to see if there were any mountain products that could be sold, such as mushrooms and black fungus. Even if they couldn't be sold, they could be dried and added to the dishes.

As soon as we entered the mountain, we felt a cool breeze. It was only natural that mushrooms would grow in such a place.

She looked around and saw a large yellow boletus mushroom. Before she could rejoice, she saw Su's mother step on it, "..."

That kick seemed to step on her heart. She went over to pick up the shredded mushrooms. The natural aroma of the mushrooms made her want to kill one of the chickens in her house.

"Mom, there are mushrooms here, why don't you pick them up?" She wanted to find out whether it was what she thought.

When Su's mother heard this, she turned around and said seriously, "Throw it away quickly. This mushroom is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

...Poisonous? As he thought, the villagers thought it was poisonous.

Liu Huan just wanted to laugh. In his previous life, this wild mushroom could be sold for dozens to a hundred yuan per kilogram.

Unable to show her pride, she asked back, "But, this doesn't look like it's poisonous, does it?"

Su's mother gave the reason: "In the past, someone in our village died because of eating mushrooms. Don't pick them up blindly."

That's it!

Oh, God, oh, earth, why didn’t I come to the mountains a year or two earlier? It’s such a waste of nature’s gifts.

No, I have to find a way to convince them to let me pick it up.

My mind suddenly turned and I got it!

"But, I saw someone selling it when I went to town. It was this. Why is it poisonous?"

Mother Su frowned suspiciously: "What did you see?"

Liu Huan nodded seriously: "Yes, it's in the shop, and there are dry ones."

Su's mother tried hard to recall why she didn't see it when she went there.

Liu Huan didn't give her time to think: "Mom, why don't we pick it up and give it a try? If we can really sell it, it will be another source of income. Even if we can't sell it, it will just be a waste of time."

Su's mother thought it made sense, and seeing that she was holding a basket, she simply ignored it: "Okay, you and Xiaoshi pick them up. Remember, don't put them in your mouth."

With permission, Liu Huan ran around excitedly like a badger in a melon field.

Milk mushroom, dry mushroom, chanterelle, blue-headed mushroom...

Oh my god, these mushrooms look exactly like the ones in my dream. It’s so relaxing to hold one in each hand.

Xiao Shi picked up a colorful mushroom and brought it to Liu Huan, "Huan Huan, look, this one is so beautiful."

Liu Huan took a look and said, "This is a poisonous mushroom, throw it away."

Xiao Shi crushed the mushroom and asked, "Why?"

Liu Huan: "Because the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. Just pick the ones in my basket and don't touch the others."

"Oh, I know."

In a short while, the basket was full, but there was still a lot on the ground. While waiting for Su's father to carry the firewood back, she took the basket and went back to change for a backpack.

That was made by Su's father specially for her and Xiaoshi.

She stopped only after she had filled two baskets. The road on the mountain was difficult to walk on, and she fell on her butt on the way down.

Shitou and Dashi came over after school, took her backpack without saying a word, and asked her what was wrong when they saw that she was limping.

Liu Huan said with a red face that he had just sat on the ground and his butt was hurt.

Shitou saw the mushrooms in her basket and didn't ask about them. He squatted down and carried her back.

Cao'er was greedy for time and embroidered for a while longer. It was almost time for dinner but she hadn't started cooking yet. She could only scoop out the black flour to make dough balls.

In the evening, Liu Huan weeded the mushrooms she had picked and sorted them out. The villagers had agreed to sell firewood the next day, and she wanted to take them with her to see if she could sell them.

But she was too young, and she was afraid that like last time, her foot would be broken and she would have to burden her family with carrying her.

Su's father and mother wanted to carry firewood, but it was not easy.

"I'll go. I'm just going to deliver the handkerchief."

Cao'er clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with her hands, her face slightly nervous. It was the first time she said she wanted to go out at home.

Liu Huan hugged her happily: "Sister, my dear sister, you are so kind."

Mother Su was stunned, and said with a smile: "Okay, let Cao'er go with you. My Cao'er has grown up and can help parents share the burden."

At night, Liu Huan insisted on sleeping next to Cao'er. The two squeezed on the small bed and whispered, "Sister, you are so amazing."

Cao'er thought she was talking about embroidery, so she took her hand and said, "When you are two years older, I will teach you."

Liu Huan laughed and said, "Let's talk about it later." She was not cut out for delicate work, so she didn't want to waste the good fabric.

Liu Huan: "If you can't sell the mushrooms, just forget it. Remember to stay close to your parents."

Cao'er held her head and said, "I know, little housekeeper, are you going to let me sleep?"

When Liu Huan got up the next day, there was only a small stone and a bowl of noodles warming in the pot at home.

Xiaoshi was staring at the chickens outside in a daze, looking unhappy.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoshi turned and looked at her, then said, "Just wondering what the town is like."

"Huanhuan, when we grow up a little, can we go there?"

Children are curious about everything and will always think about something they didn't do.

"Yes, we can go when we grow up. Look at my feet, they became like that the last time I went there. So it really won't work if we're younger."

Shitou clenched his fists and nodded vigorously: "Yes, so we have to grow up quickly."

Liu Huan picked up the noodle and asked, "Brother, do you want to eat it?"

Xiao Shi shook his head: "No, I've already eaten, you eat, so we can grow up together."

After eating, Liu Huan was about to boil water to wash the dishes when he heard Xiao Shi shouting loudly outside and the chickens clucking.

She put down the bowl and went out, and found Xiaoshi driving away someone, who was Wang Laizi from the village.
