"Second brother, do we have to hide the matter of selling Miss Ku from even father and mother?”Xiner asked.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and nodded.
Based on his observations, Fang Yu and Madam Yang did not have the concept of private money at all. They did not even have a single copper coin on hand.
If they knew, they might confiscate the money. That was not what Fang Yun wanted to see.
After Fang Yun and the others discussed it, they returned home.
Luo also specially came to check the wild vegetables they dug. Seeing that they were all big and high-quality wild vegetables, he did not say anything.
Fang De and his brothers hadn't returned from town yet, so the Fang family's lunch was very simple. It was porridge, nest, and salted vegetables.
Because they were still thinking about Miss Ku, Fang Yun and the others quickly finished their lunch and returned to their rooms.
It was August in the north, and the weather was extremely hot at noon.
At this time, it was not the time to busy with the autumn harvest. The Fang family was used to taking a nap at noon.
Very soon, everyone was resting.
Fang Yun only pretended to close his eyes. When he felt that it was about time, he called Fang Ru and the others.
The four of them quickly got off the bed. Fang Yun and Fang Ping went to push the flatbed cart, while Fang Ru brought Xin 'er to prepare the basket and sacks.
"What are you guys doing?" Madam Yang hadn't fallen asleep and asked when she saw him.
"We're going out to play, mother." Fang Yun replied.
"It's noon. It's too hot outside.”Madam Yang said.
"We won't be exposed to the sun. We have a cool place to play.”Fang Yun smiled.
They had already told Madam Yang about the roast wild eggs in the morning.
"Mother, we'll push this cart away. If Little Seven and Xin 'er get tired of playing, I'll push them back."”
"Then go. Don't go far. Remember to come back early and be careful of the car.”Madam Yang reminded.
The children had always been sensible and knew their limits, so she was more at ease.
Fang Yun and the others pushed the cart out of the village.
They didn't take the main road, but followed the small road, heading west.
After walking for a short distance, he saw a small hill that was not very tall. It was covered with bushes and he could vaguely see many tombstones.
Fang Yun knew that this was the Nanshan Hill they were talking about.
As they walked north from the foot of Nanshan Hill, the further they walked, the more desolate it became. What entered their eyes was a continuous undulating hilly landscape.
The farmlands were no longer visible, and the place was covered with thatch and shrubbery.
After passing through the small path in the bush forest, the terrain in front of them gradually rose, and more lush vegetation grew.
"I found that patch of bitter girls when I came to gather firewood.”Fang Ping said as he walked.
Fang Yun looked around. There were hills of varying heights, and in the middle were some potholes and gullies, all covered in shrubs and weeds.
Fang Ping was obviously very familiar with this place. Pulling the cart, he picked a path and walked around a few times before arriving at a low-lying flat land.
"This is it." Fang Ping stopped and said.
There was a large area, clusters of bitter girl seedlings, all of which were full of bitter girls. They looked like small lanterns hanging from them, very beautiful.
Some of them had already started to cook, and their skin was red. Most of them were still green.
"We'll only pick the red ones. The green ones will be ripe in a few days.”Fang Yun said.
Fang Yun, Fang Ru, Fang Ping, and Xin 'er set the car aside. They all carried baskets and began to pick up girls.
When the basket couldn't fit anymore, he would pour it into the sack on the cart.
There was no wind, and the sun was scorching hot. Soon, Fang Yun was covered in sweat.
However, Fang Yun did not feel bitter at all. His heart was filled with enthusiasm.
Fang Ru, Fang Ping, and Xin 'er were even more agile.
The children were used to doing work. In about two hours, they had picked all the bitter girls in this area.
Of course, they picked the red ones.
Fang Yun looked at the four sacks of Miss Ku.
It was quite strenuous for the four of them to carry a sack together.
These four sacks added together were estimated to weigh at least 300 jin.
The four of them worked together to lay the sack flat on the cart and secured it with a straw rope. Then, they covered it with a layer of straw curtain.
Fang Ping pulled the cart in front while Fang Ru, Fang Yun, and Xin 'er helped push it from behind.
They made a detour from the mountains. This time, they didn't pass through the village. Instead, they went straight to the official road and headed straight for the town.
At this hour, there were not many pedestrians on the road. They walked close to the roadside and had the shade of the trees by the roadside. At this time, there was some wind, so it was not particularly difficult.
However, they were still children after all. They were pushing things that weighed 300 catties and walked very slowly.
Fang Ping and Fang Ru were sweating profusely. In order not to tire their younger brother and sister out, they had to exert all their strength.
After walking for less than 15 minutes, they arrived at Wanchong Town.
Fang Yun thought of a question.
"How do I get to the Sun family's herbal medicine shop?"
"It's on the street in front. We went there several times when we went to the market. Little Seven, have you forgotten?”Fang Ru smiled.
Fang Yun replied with an " oh ". Actually, he just didn't want to think about it. After all, it wasn't his memory, so it was still a little difficult to recall it.
Wanchong Town was considered a relatively prosperous town, and the front street was the busiest street in the town.
The street was very wide and was paved with bluestone. There were various shops on both sides, and there were four or five restaurants with two or three floors.
Even if it wasn't a market day, the streets were still bustling with people.
