After being busy for five days, after sending all the first batch of thorny old buds that can be picked in Xishan to the Jufude Restaurant in the town, the Ming family delivered the news to the Wang family, the Xie family, the Tao family, the Zhou family, the Zheng family, the Chen family, the Huang family, the Li Zheng family, and the Li family.

Unlike several others, the Zhou family actually knew that the Ming family was selling thorn sprouts for a long time, after all, his Zhou Hu was the bookkeeper of Jufu Restaurant, and every time the Ming family went to the restaurant to sell thorn sprouts last year, he was the one who counted the money for the Ming family.

It is said that the Zhou family is following the Ming family to do this business, and the Ming family is not qualified to pick the Zhou family's li'er, after all, the mountain belongs to everyone, and it is reasonable for anyone who wants to pick things on the mountain.

But the Zhou family has never picked the old sprouts, as if they didn't know that the Ming family had made a windfall with this thing, and they only continued to run their own small days step by step every day.

Because of this incident, everyone in the Ming family remembered a love for the Zhou family.

"Forget about my family, my mother-in-law is old, and I don't worry about her going up the mountain. When you pick it back, remember to ask Da Lang to send me two bundles to taste. ”

Dr. Li was the first to express his disinterest, his children became a weapon, his daughter married to the county, his son taught in the town, and he himself was one of the only two doctors in these ten miles and eight villages.

Old Man Ming is not strong, "That's it, then I'll ask Da Lang to send two bundles to the old brother every day in the future." ”

Dr. Li smiled, "Then I'll wait." ”

With that, the old man patted his ass and left.

When Old Man Ming sent Dr. Li back, Ming Ju, Uncle Tao and Uncle Wang successively expressed their attitudes, saying that they just need to follow up the mountain to see what this thorny old bud is, and how to pick it to meet the requirements of other restaurants.

As for the mass picking, they decided to go back to their village – there was no shortage of trees or mountains around their village anyway.

Especially Mingju, she even planned to bring Minghe back to her house with her, so that she and her family would bring disaster to the mountains around Daqinggou.

In her words, "We lack everything in Daqinggou, that is, there is no shortage of trees and mountains." ”

Old Man Ming didn't object, after all, half of these people he called lived in Wulitun, if Ming Ju's family also stayed, then they were indeed a bit of a wolf with more meat and less meat, not enough.

So in the end, the only ones who really stayed in Nanshan to pick thorny old buds were the Li Zheng family, the Ming family, the Huang family, the Xie family and the Zhou family.

There are few Zhou families, and only the three of them, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and Zhou Hu's wife, can go up the mountain, and this is because Mrs. Zhou sent her baby grandson to the Ming family and asked Mrs. Ming to help take it.

The rest of the families went with at least seven or eight people.

Of course, not everyone in the Ming family went to Nanshan.

In line with the simple principle of helping people to the end, the old man Ming sent the Tao family to the Tao family, Mingcheng to the Wang family, and Mingyue to the Zheng family.

As "envoys", these three men are responsible for teaching relatives to identify and pick thorny sprouts.

and Mingyue went to Daqinggou with her sister-in-law Minghe.

Originally, Minghe's mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, and Mingju also planned to take it to their own house, but Mrs. Chen refused.

First, she couldn't rest assured about her family and children and grandchildren, and second, she was embarrassed to trouble the Zheng family and Mingju too much.

Mingju was willing to take Minghe, and she was already very grateful.

"Milk~Your baby granddaughter is back~" taught the Zheng family in the afternoon, and the next morning, Mingyue took Daqinggou to the town and hitchhiked back to Wulitun.

"Sister!" Xiao Mingxue rushed into her arms like a small cannonball, "Sister, you're back, I always miss you." ”

This child is always tired of being with Mingyue, and over time she has learned that her mouth is as sweet as honey.

Mingyue hugged her little sister and kissed her little face fiercely, "My snow baby is really good!" ”

Ming Xue giggled, and Mrs. Ming lifted the curtain and walked into the yard, "What did your aunt bring back for you again?" Why are you older? ”

Mingyue squinted her eyes and smiled, "In addition to the skin is the meat, you can see it yourself." ”

"This loser child is not afraid that her concubine will have opinions!" Mrs. Ming unexpectedly counted her daughters.

Mingyue smiled even more, "Milk, when my cousin gets married in the autumn, let's add some good things to her." When the time comes, I'll take you to the county seat, and let's pick out two pieces of jewelry for my cousin to wear. ”

Mrs. Ming had already had this intention, she raised her hand and touched Mingyue's head, "Remember, don't worry." ”

Mingyue smiled and hugged Xiao Mingxue, "Milk, let's stew meat at night, my aunt brought a lot of meat." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all up to you." Mrs. Ming smiled dotingly, "Don't you like to eat at noon?" It's rare that you are at home, and the milk will be given to you and Xiaoxue at noon. ”

Mingyue's eyes lit up, "Then I'm going to eat one with eggs." ”

In modern times, she is accustomed to three meals a day, but the Ming family, like most families in the village, has always eaten only two meals a day.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ming has always spoiled her, she wants to eat at noon, Mrs. Ming just doesn't cook for her, and she will get some snacks for her to pad her stomach, otherwise how can Mingyue gain weight in just one year.

The two grandparents were talking and doing needlework - this was a rare thing for Mingyue.

She has always loved making money more than needlework, and at that time, she even preferred to cook and make her family taste the delicacies of later generations that she "saw in recipes".

Xiao Mingxue obviously has a strong interest in this regard, Mrs. Ming embroiders, this little guy is actually engrossed in looking at it with a serious face.

Mingyue was amazed, and Mrs. Ming laughed and teased her, "Fortunately, there are two girls in our family, and one of them was not caught from the mountain." ”

The one who was "caught on the mountain" was naturally Mingyue, who let her not go to the mountain for a day except for the heavy snow to close the mountain, especially after learning martial arts and starting to practice bow and arrow, she liked to stay in the mountain more and more.

Tao was worried, but she was embarrassed to say that Mingyue should not go up the mountain again.

She and Mingcheng have no sons, Mingcheng is a scholar, and her body is far inferior to her brother and younger brother, so in the past few years, they have basically taken advantage of the second room, although no one cares about her, but Tao himself has an account in his heart.

Now that her daughter is finally promising, she can help the family, how embarrassed is she to detain her at home as soon as her upper and lower lips touch.

***

The day after Mingyue came back from Daqinggou, the thorny old buds in Nanshan were picked, and the old man Ming continued to take Mingdi, Mingtang, Dalang, Erlang, Mingyue and other neat Ming family members to run Xishan.

It wasn't until the second batch of thorny old buds that grew up in Xishan were all sent to Jufu Restaurant that Old Man Ming waved his hand and asked his family to start preparing for spring ploughing.
