When I got home, it was almost five o'clock, it was still early at this time, my father didn't come back, my mother sat in the yard and rubbed it back, and when she saw Jiang Nian coming back, she got up slowly, her face was a little ugly.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Nian hurriedly went over to help.

'What else could it be?' The legs are cold, numb, and it is really strange to see that the old cold legs have a seizure, on a hot day, how can the old cold legs be committed? Wang Hong complained and entered the house with Jiang Nian's support.

Jiang Nian was stunned.

Then, excitedly said, "Is it going to rain?" ”

"It's possible, this old cold leg, it hurts badly when it rains on a cloudy day, hey, it's old!" Wang Hong shook his head, and then asked, "I went to Lin Guan's house today, what's the matter, has the date been booked?"

Jiang Nian nodded hurriedly.

"It's booked, five days later, don't be busy these days, you and my dad are ready to prepare, so that we can come to the door to propose."

"Oops, that's great." Wang Hong suddenly blossomed, and when she heard the good news, her legs didn't seem to hurt anymore.

Helping his mother Wang Hong into the house, Jiang Nian came directly to the outhouse, grabbed a handful of salt and looked at it, and then tasted it in his mouth: "It's so damp...... It seems that there is rain at night, and this rain will not be light. ”

Soon, Jiang Nian made a judgment.

In this era, televisions are still a luxury for a few people, and they don't have one in their village, let alone look at the weather forecast, and whether it will rain depends on experience.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian's heart was already happy.

"God help me!"

After this rain, there must be mushrooms, pick some and send them to the rich woman, wouldn't it be appropriate to make another profit?

is one step closer to marrying Lin Wan.

Jiang Nian first carried the flour purchased in the car into the house, hid the money, and then carried some forage for the donkey, and put back the hazelnuts that were dried on the roof, and then hurriedly walked out of the house with a bag of biscuits.

Along the small river, the blue waves are clear, and before I got closer, I heard the murmuring of the river and the sound of children playing in the water.

When I walked in, I saw five or six children with bare buttocks, one after another plunged into the water, and after a while, their heads emerged from the other side.

Seeing Jiang Nian coming, they all subconsciously covered themselves and hid in the water, grinning and giggling.

These children, are half the size of the village, all of them are good in the water, in the hot summer, swimming and playing in the water is their favorite fun, swimming and fishing at the same time, they don't need to learn, basically a day to play.

"Brother Jiang Nian, why are you here?" A slightly older child, seeing Jiang Nian stop on the shore, immediately asked with a smile.

He is Xiaowen, a child of Aunt Li's family, who is not bad, but a little dark.

"I'm looking for you guys!" Jiang Nian sat down on a stone and asked with a smile, "Do you all want to make money?" ”

"Make money?"

As soon as they heard the word "make money", several children suddenly had bright eyes and came over one after another.

These children usually have no pocket money, and they are not as happy as those children in the future, and it is precisely because they can't see money that they are more eager for money.

Looking at these poor children, Jiang Nian didn't feel good in his heart.

The children of poor families have never gone to school and have no knowledge, and most of them will be as mediocre and poor as their fathers in the future. Among these children, he only remembered that the long-skinny child named Er Donkey had a good life in the future, opened a grain and oil shop in the county seat, and also made a lot of money.

It's a pity that men go crazy as soon as they have money.

Because of gambling, he lost all his hard-earned family business in less than two years, and even two fingers were cut off, for which the daughter-in-law ran away with the child, and his parents kicked him out of the house.

In his later years, it was called a miserable one.

"Brother Jiang Nian, how to make money, you say!" Xiaowen asked anxiously.

"Yes, you have been collecting hazelnuts recently, do you want us to go up the mountain to pick hazelnuts?"

"It's not good to pick hazelnuts, there are many people who have gone up in the past two days, and they are basically all gone, and we don't dare to go too deep, there are wolf ...... inside."

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "I don't let you pick hazelnuts, there are other ways to make money, I didn't tell anyone, I came to you directly, do you want to do it or not?" ”

"Who doesn't do the money-making thing?"

"That's it, I earned money to buy White Rabbit toffee to eat, and I have long wanted to eat what it tastes like." The one who spoke was Erchouzi, who was twelve years old today, and he was also the oldest child in this group of children, except for Xiaowen.

Jiang Nian smiled slightly and said, "I remember that after the last rain, a few of you picked a lot of mushrooms, if it rains tonight, will you still be able to pick them tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, that thing, every time it rains, we can each have a big basket of vegetables, Brother Jiang Nian, we know a place, as long as it rains, the mushrooms there will pop up."

"Not only mushrooms, but also fungus in autumn."

Jiang Nian's eyes lit up immediately, and he said directly: "That's great, I just want you to pick mushrooms, it's raining tonight, you will pick them tomorrow, come back and send them directly to my house, I'll collect a dime a catty, how about I want to pick as much as you want?" ”

"A dime, a pound?"

The children's eyes lit up suddenly.

Usually when it rains, which one of them doesn't pick a ten-pound or eight-pound one? According to past experience, it is not a problem to sell one or two yuan, and when the time comes, you can buy whatever you want to buy and eat.

"Brother Jiang Nian, do you really want it?"

"I really want, don't worry, I can still lie to you children?" As he spoke, Jiang Nian beckoned to them and motioned for them to come up and eat cookies.

As soon as they saw the biscuits in Jiang Nian's hand, several children's eyes lit up, because they couldn't eat them usually, and only when the New Year's festival was over, the ones with slightly better conditions at home would buy them.

Because, several people jumped out of the water one after another, regardless of the nakedness on their bodies, they sat next to Jiang Nian and began to rush to eat.

"Brother Jiang Nian, why did it rain until tonight? If it doesn't rain, the mushrooms won't come out. Xiaowen asked as he gobbled it up.

"Don't worry, it will rain tonight, this is the power of knowledge."

"Brother Jiang Nian, you are really good at joking, you haven't been to school, where do you have so much knowledge in your head?"

"I'm afraid it wasn't Sister Lin Guan who told him, my mother said that Sister Lin Guan is from the city, she has gone to school, and her brain is full of ink, and she knows a lot of things, but it's a pity that we can't go to school, and we can't put those inks that represent knowledge into our brains." Xiao Quan, who is only eight years old, said.

"Well, it must be so." The other children nodded in agreement.

"Brother Jiang Nian, you are really blessed, you actually chased Sister Lin Guan, Sister Lin Guan is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, being able to marry her is really a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

"My mother said, this is called a flower inserted in cow dung...... Xiao Quan took over the conversation again.

As soon as these words came out, several children couldn't laugh anymore.

Xiaowen asked even more boldly: "Brother Jiang Nian, I saw ...... that day"

"What do you see?" Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, looking at the eyes of several children who seemed to be smiling or not smiling, he had a bad feeling, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

"That day...... Just that bud rice field, you and Sister Lin Guan ......"

Jiang Nian was suddenly extremely embarrassed.

"You just need to know about this, but you are not allowed to tell anyone else, even your parents? If anyone says it, I won't take him to make money, and I won't give you delicious food. ”
