No matter what kind of medicinal material it is, it likes to grow in a sunny position.

Meng Haisheng came out of the forest and looked around. He saw a small hill next to him.

There were a few big trees growing on the hill, and there were low bushes everywhere.

He felt that this place should be more suitable for the growth of Bupleurum.

He found a long wooden stick and walked forward while knocking the surrounding bushes.

Several meters away from the hill, Meng Haisheng saw the familiar branches and leaves of Bupleurum.

Judging from the size of the branches and leaves, he could be sure that this Bupleurum was of a good age.

Meng Haisheng walked forward very happily, and the sparrows hiding in the grass were frightened and flew up with their wings flapping.

"It turned out that you little sparrows brought so many Bupleurum seeds."

The food in the field was precious. Whether it was wheat or millet, when it was about to mature, the villagers would take some unused rags to scare the sparrows, and some even took out chicken nets.

Sparrows have nothing to eat, so they can only come to the mountains to pick up grass seeds and other things to eat, and Bupleurum seeds are one of them.

"Brother Daniu, come here quickly, I fell into a Bupleurum nest.

Meng Haisheng climbed up the hill, and Bupleurum was everywhere he looked.

"Right away."

The two men were shirtless and started digging Bupleurum.

Bupleurum as thick as a thumb can be seen everywhere.

"Brother Daniu, we don't want Bupleurum that is too thin. It's not worth selling it, and it's hard to dig it."

"Okay, I'll only pick the big ones."

The sun had just come out, and the two had already filled two baskets. Meng Haisheng's palms were rubbed sore.

It seems that next time he goes to town, he has to buy a few pairs of thread gloves, otherwise his hands will be rubbed with blisters in a short time.

"I can't do it anymore. I'm dying of thirst. "

Meng Daniu sat on the ground and took out a large can filled with boiled water.

He was very thirsty and drank half of the can in one breath. Meng Daniu realized that he seemed to have taken less water.

"Brother Daniu, do you have enough water to drink? I took a lot."

Meng Daniu smiled embarrassedly.

"I'll ask you for more later if it's not enough."

The kettle and thermos at home were taken away by his father and two brothers. He had nothing to use so he took a can.

The two worked and stopped. By noon, the basket and fertilizer bag were full.

The two sat down and had lunch together, carrying the bupleurum to the reservoir.

The reservoir is halfway up the mountain.

It is a production team, specially dug to facilitate watering the farmland on the mountain.

In summer, many people will come to the reservoir to fetch water for irrigation. At that time, it is the most lively here.

There are Naughty little boys would go down to the reservoir to touch eels and turtles.

When Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu came, the farmers had already gone home for dinner, leaving only the muddy water in the reservoir.

Meng Haisheng and Meng Daniu had been digging for Bupleurum on the mountain for a whole morning, and they were already sweating profusely.

At this moment, they didn't care whether there was mud in the water in the reservoir, so they went down first.

"Brother Daniu, don't take off your shoes. There are glass shards in the mud. If you step on it with your back, we won't be able to go down the mountain today."

"Okay. "

Meng Daniu, who was taking off his shoes, quickly put them back on.

He had come to the reservoir to fish before, but his feet were often pricked by broken glass.

The two took off their clothes, wearing only shorts, carrying buckets, and ran to the bottom of the reservoir.

The water in the reservoir was only slightly above the knees of the two.

Most of the water was mud, which was a little inconvenient to walk.

But for Meng Haisheng, this kind of mud was the best.

When the weather was hot, turtles and eels liked to drill into the mud the most. He didn't need to touch it with his hands, he could feel it by just stepping on the mud.

Two experienced men soaked in the reservoir for more than two hours under the scorching sun.

The bucket Meng Haisheng brought was finally full.

Let’s not talk about how much this bucket of turtles and eels can be sold for. Just these two hours in the reservoir were extremely joyful for both of them.

Suddenly Meng Haisheng thought of a saying: A man is a teenager until he dies.

He was not convinced before, but today he seemed to understand a little.

“Haisheng, I can’t do it anymore. It’s better to dig Bupleurum than to catch these turtles and eels. These damn eels are too difficult to catch.”

“Then we won’t come next time. ”

The price of soft-shelled turtles and eels is not high to begin with, and it is so difficult to catch them, so it is better to set more rabbit traps and sell them.

The two were really exhausted today. They rested for a while at the reservoir, found a place to store bupleurum, and went into the mountains to look at rabbit traps.

This time Meng Haisheng also taught Meng Daniu how to set rabbit traps. The two set more than 30 rabbit traps all over the mountains and caught six rabbits in total, Meng Haisheng caught four, Meng Daniu caught one, and Meng Daniu caught one.Two cows.

This harvest is still very impressive.

"Haisheng, I will go with you to sell cucumbers tomorrow. It's boring for me to go up the mountain alone."

"I want to borrow a bicycle. We can't ride together."

"I'll borrow Chunhua's too."

"Okay, if you can borrow it, tell me in the evening and I'll prepare more things. I can't let you go for nothing."

"Okay."

Meng Daniu hasn't been out for a long time. He was so happy to see Meng Haisheng ready to take him out.

The two took the rabbits and carried the bupleurum down the mountain.

The two were busy in the afternoon. So many bupleurums must be washed and dried immediately.

Otherwise, it's so hot that it's easy to get bad.

When Meng Haisheng returned home, Lin Mucheng and Momo were not at home.

He felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know where the two had gone.

Meng Haisheng was washing the bupleurum at home while thinking about it.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Momo's sweet voice coming from outside the courtyard gate.

"Grandma, hurry up, mom is back?"

Momo rushed into the house with her short legs.

She saw that it was Meng Haisheng washing Bupleurum, and her little mouth curled up as if she was about to cry.

Meng Haisheng quickly wiped his hands and went forward to hug Momo.

"Why are you not happy to see dad?"

"Momo misses mom?"

Momo's big eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice.

Qu Lan walked a little slower, and was out of breath when she caught up.

"Mom, how are you taking care of Momo, where is Mu Cheng?"

Qu Lan also had a lot of things to do on weekdays, and Lin Mu Cheng rarely sent Momo to her.

"I just happened to be free today. Mu Cheng wanted to pick cucumbers. He was worried about Momo, so he sent Momo to my side."

Meng Haisheng understood. Lin Mucheng was really scared when Momo almost fell down the hillside last time.

"Mom, come into the house and help me watch Momo for a while. I'll help Mu Cheng pull the cucumbers back."

Meng Haisheng took out calcium milk biscuits and White Rabbit milk candy for Qu Lan, and he went to Uncle Meng's house to borrow a cart to find Lin Mucheng in the field.

This time when Meng Haisheng went to borrow a cart, Uncle Meng didn't make it difficult for him at all, and even let him keep the cart at home.

Meng Haisheng hurried to the cucumber field, only to see that there were already a lot of cucumbers piled up at the end of the field.

"Mucheng, take a break, I'll do the rest."

Seeing that Lin Mucheng was sweating, Meng Haisheng hurried forward to take the basket from her hand.

"You've been tired all day, I can pick them myself."

Lin Mucheng was diligent. When Meng Haisheng came over, she had already picked a basket of cucumbers.

Meng Haisheng went to the mountain to dig Bupleurum for a day, which was much more tiring than picking cucumbers.

"Then you pick them, I'll help you pass the basket out."

While Lin Mucheng was picking cucumbers, Meng Haisheng quickly put the cucumbers on the ground into the basket.

Then he took the empty basket and exchanged it for the basket full of cucumbers in Lin Mucheng's hand.

The two worked together, and the last basket of cucumbers was picked in a short while.

Looking at the two baskets of green cucumbers, Lin Mucheng's lips slightly raised a smile.
