Meng Changxi and Meng Haisheng were neighbors. He had been fanning himself in the bungalow at night, keeping an eye on Meng Haisheng's every move.

When he saw that Meng Haisheng did not go out to play cards at night, but went home obediently, he thought he should call his brother to talk about this.

At night, the village had severe power restrictions, and the whole village was pitch black.

When Meng Haisheng returned home, a ray of candlelight shone through the window and fell on the windowsill.

Momo on the kang had already fallen asleep.

Lin Mucheng sat on the kang, doing needlework in the faint candlelight.

It was so hot that Meng Haisheng was sweating all the way back.

He did not go into the house, but took a shower in the yard.

Lin Mucheng, who was making a shirt for herself in the house, heard the sound of water splashing in the yard, and her cheeks blushed inexplicably.

Lin Muching lowered his head slightly, looking at the rouge-red plaid cloth in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

Meng Haisheng has really changed for the better, he has not gone out to play cards.

Meng Haisheng finished his shower in a short while.

He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of blue shorts, and wiped his wet hair with a towel while looking at Lin Muching.

"Are you going to make a shirt? I thought this piece of material was beautiful, so it would be better to make a skirt."

Lin Muching, who was doing needlework, chuckled.

"Such a beautiful material, if it is made into a skirt, I can't wear it many times in a summer, it's better to make it into a shirt, so I can wear it every now and then."

In fact, Lin Muching didn't have the courage to tell Meng Haisheng that such plaid cloth was not enough for a long skirt, and it would be a bit too shocking to wear it as a short skirt.

"Next time I go to the county, I'll see if there are other fabrics and buy you a few pieces to make a skirt. You still look beautiful in a skirt."

Although it has been many years, Meng Haisheng vaguely remembers how Lin Mucheng looked when she came to the village in a white shirt and a blue skirt.

At that time, she had two braids and was very dazzling when she stood in the crowd.

His wife was so beautiful, so she should wear more colorful clothes.

"Go to bed early. Didn't you say you were going to the mountain to dig Bupleurum tomorrow morning?"

Lin Mucheng felt Meng Haisheng's hot eyes, and she hurriedly urged Meng Haisheng to go to bed, fearing that he would have other thoughts.

"You should go to bed early too. The candlelight is too weak. How can your eyes bear doing needlework under candlelight for a long time?"

Lin Mucheng didn't have a sewing machine, so she could only ask someone to help cut the clothes, and then sew them slowly by herself.

She had a lot of work to do during the day and had no time to sew, so she could only use this time at night.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll sleep after I finish sewing."

Meng Haisheng couldn't bear to let Lin Mucheng stay up late. He went forward and blew hard, blowing out the candle.

Now Lin Mucheng had to sleep even if she didn't want to.

"Mucheng, wait until I save some money, and I'll buy you a sewing machine."

When Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng got married, they had nothing, not to mention the three major items. Even the house they lived in was built with borrowed money.

The two had no wedding, no banquet. On the wedding day, Lin Mucheng bought a red scarf and got married with Meng Haisheng.

The two had no wedding, which was also a big regret for Meng Haisheng. He would make up for Lin Mucheng in this life no matter what.

He would make up for everything that other brides had.

"Sewing machines are too expensive. Even if you have tickets, it costs 175."

Lin Mucheng held a palm-leaf fan in the dark, fanning Momo from time to time, but the room was still too hot.

"If you have some money, you might as well buy an electric fan. Momo has a heat rash from the heat."

"There's no electricity at night, so an electric fan is useless. I'll go buy a cool mat the day after tomorrow, and buy Momo a box of heat rash powder."

Meng Haisheng took Lin Mucheng's fan.

"I'll fan Momo. I'm strong. You've been tired all day, so go to bed."

Meng Haisheng then realized that his family seemed to have borrowed a total of 1,000 yuan from the team and relatives to build this house.

In his previous life, after Meng Haisheng became rich, each person in the village received 10,000 yuan, and he donated millions to the village. Naturally, no one asked him for the 1,000 yuan.

But in his next life, he has to pay back the money.

Meng Haisheng rubbed his forehead. His family was really in tatters.

The next morning, just after dawn, Lin Mucheng got up.

She steamed a few buns for Meng Haisheng last night, and now she got up and cooked some porridge and made a cold pickled cucumber.

"Wife, put more pickled cucumbers. I will eat with Brother Daniu at noon."

"Okay."

Lin Mucheng knew that Meng Daniu had a big appetite, so she doubled the amount of pickled cucumbers..

"Mu Cheng, I'm going to sell salads tomorrow. You can use the other jars and pickle cucumbers in them."

The best salads are fresh and tender cucumbers. These finger-thick cucumbers are not wanted at the market. If they are not pickled, they will only be thrown to feed the chickens.

"Okay, there are still a lot at home. I'll pickle them all."

Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu must have sweated a lot in the morning digging Bupleurum. Lin Mucheng gave the only thermos in the house to Meng Haisheng.

But Meng Haisheng didn't take it, but directly took the kettle at home.

In the hot summer, he, a grown man, just drank boiled water, so why did he need a thermos.

After packing up, Meng Haisheng picked up the shoulder pole, took a bucket and a basket, and went to find Meng Daniu.

Meng Daniu was even better than him. He directly picked up the two largest baskets in the house and put two fertilizer bags in the baskets.

"Brother Daniu, are you going to dig 200-300 kilograms a day? Why did you take two such big baskets?"

"Let's try it. It's not heavy to carry two baskets anyway."

When the two of them left the village, the sky was just beginning to show a little light, and it was not yet bright.

There were only a few scattered households in the village, and smoke was coming out of the chimneys.

"Haisheng, after we go up the mountain today, how about we set up rabbit traps first? If the remaining rabbit traps you set up last time are not broken, you will definitely be able to catch rabbits again."

Meng Haisheng never thought that his rabbit trapping skills would be so powerful one day.

"Okay, we'll set a few more rabbit traps later. Last time when I went to the county to sell wild rabbits, I asked, and they also bought soft-shelled turtles and eels."

"There are a lot of soft-shelled turtles and eels over there in the reservoir on the mountain. Let's go and have a look later."

"I was wondering why you carried a bucket up the mountain. It turns out you were catching soft-shelled turtles and eels. I'm the best at this."

The children in the village have nothing to play with. Going down to the river to catch fish and touch eels are the children's favorite activities.

Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu also grew up playing like this.

The two chatted and soon reached the mountain.

They took the same road they took last time up the mountain and continued to walk into the mountain.

The two looked for Bupleurum chinense everywhere while checking for signs of wild rabbits.

As long as there were wild rabbits, Meng Haisheng would set a rabbit trap made of vines.

"Haisheng, this way."

Meng Daniu stood in a bush and shouted at Meng Haisheng.

"What's wrong?"

"There are a lot of Bupleurum here, come quickly."

Meng Daniu took a sickle and quickly cut off some weeds, leaving only Bupleurum.

Meng Haisheng came over and saw that there were only about twenty Bupleurum in this small patch.

Even with such a small amount of Bupleurum, Meng Daniu was so excited that he asked him to come over and dig together.

Meng Haisheng was full of sadness and joy.

"You dig here first, I'll go and have a look nearby."

Bupleurum also likes to gather together, always growing in patches.

Since a small patch can be found here, there may be a large patch of Bupleurum nearby.
