Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 230 Picking Honeysuckle

It’s a pity that there are no empty dustpans at home. It seems that after returning from the county town, I have to buy a few bamboo dustpans from the town.

An Yue fed mulberry leaves to the silkworms, and they began to move to the fresh mulberry leaves to nibble on them.

An Yue thought that the next step was to start preparing the silkworm racks for them to make cocoons.

It won't be long before they start spinning cocoons.

After feeding the silkworms, An Yue went to the yard to feed the chicks.

After Chunzhi washed the dishes in the kitchen, she took Bashi to play in the yard.

Afterwards, An Yue and Chun Zhi went back to their rooms.

——Take a nap.

A few minutes later, An Yue and Chun Zhi woke up.

Just like every day, after waking up, they first washed their faces with a basin of water and slowly woke up.

After washing her face, Chunzhi went to the chicken coop to get a backpack and a sickle, while An Yue went to get a bamboo basket for picking honeysuckle and also picked up two bamboo hats.

When they got to the yard, she handed the hat to Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, let's put on the hats! The sun is still very hot now!"

"Okay, miss." Chunzhi took it and put it on her head.

The two men carried their backpacks and walked out of the yard gate one after the other.

An Yue closed the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the rock pit in the back mountain with Chunzhi.

The sun at this time is not as hot as it is at noon, but the burning sensation has not diminished at all.

A heat rushed straight to my forehead, and the sweat on my forehead naturally began to penetrate the cortex.

They came to the rock pit.

An Yue pointed to a shady spot on the mountain road that was blocked by trees, and said to Chunzhi, "Chunzhi, the sun doesn't shine over there, let's go there and cut some grass for the pigs first!"

"Um, yes, miss."

Then the two of them walked towards that direction.

Come to the shade.

I saw them squatting down, skillfully holding the sickle and starting to cut the grass.

Half an hour later.

The bright red setting sun tilted toward the west and gradually shone towards them.

As time went by, the pig grass in their backpacks was almost full.

An Yue stood up straight, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and sighed, "Oh, it's so hot today that it makes me panic. My clothes are soaked with sweat!"

Chunzhi also stood up and responded: "Yes! I don't know when a few raindrops will fall!"

The two complained about the hot weather, then continued to squat down and cut grass for the pigs.

In a short while, the two backpacks were filled to the brim.

An Yue stood up, pressed the pig grass in the backpack hard, and said, "Chunzhi, our backpack is full! The sun is not so hot now, let's go pick honeysuckle!"

They placed the backpacks on the wasteland beside the road, and each of them carried a bamboo basket and went to the rock pit.

When they arrived at the rock pit, they looked at the honeysuckle flowers densely packed on the vines, about to bloom.

An Yue and Chun Zhi didn't hesitate, they walked there and started picking.

As An Yue was picking honeysuckle, she casually asked Chunzhi, "Have you ever seen honeysuckle before?"

Chunzhi answered while picking the fruits: "Of course I have seen them. I remember that they grow on the edge of the field or along the edge of the mountain, and they grow in large patches."

After Chunzhi finished speaking, he said with regret: "Oh! It's a pity that the previous Chunzhi didn't know that it was a valuable medicinal herb."

"Now that you recognize them, do you think they are treasures?"

Chunzhi answered without hesitation: "Of course."

"Well, when we have more manpower in the future, I plan to plant more herbs at the foot of the mountain behind us."

"The foot of the mountain is quite cool and not suitable for growing crops. But what kind of herbs are you going to grow, young lady?"

"I plan to plant some more honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is cold-resistant and drought-resistant and easy to grow. Most importantly, it is not easy for insect eggs to grow on it and can survive anywhere."

"Chunzhi has taken everything you said today to heart. In the future, when Chunzhi is free, she will come to the back hill to plant honeysuckle."

After hearing this, An Yue couldn't help but shook her head and smiled.

She said to Chunzhi, "Silly Chunzhi, I bought this back hill, but I'm not just going to plant honeysuckle. I'm also going to plant ophiopogon japonicus, yellow gardenia, forsythia and many other medicinal herbs!"

When Chunzhi heard what An Yue said, she realized that all of them were medicinal herbs she didn't recognize.

She scratched her head and said worriedly, "But...Miss, Chunzhi doesn't recognize the herbs you mentioned!"

"Don't worry about this. I will teach you later."

After An Yue finished speaking, she stopped picking honeysuckle and raised her hand to point around the rock pit.

He said, "In the future, I will sow various herbal seeds in this wasteland, such as motherwort, mint, houttuynia cordata, wormwood, perilla and other herbs."

Chunzhi was amazed when she heard this and said, "This wasteland is full of gravel and there is no way to grow crops. The young lady thought of growing herbs, which is really turning waste into treasure."

After that, she looked at An Yue with admiration and praised, "Miss, you are so thoughtful."

An Yue smiled and rolled her eyes and said, "When the herbs are ripe, we will take them to the town to exchange for silver."

Chunzhi clapped her hands excitedly: "Miss, you are so smart! This will be another source of income for us."

An Yue looked at the wasteland in front of her, as if she saw the mountains and fields full of herbs in the future, and her heart was full of anticipation.

An Yue said thoughtfully: "It takes manpower to grow herbs. I have to plan it well."

Harue nodded quickly, indicating that she was willing to do her best.

An Yue thought that since it wasn't going to rain today, she would have to wait until the time was right before planting the medicinal plant in the village.

The most important thing right now is to sell the honey and floral water at a good price.

At this time, there was a gentle breeze, the sun was setting in the west, and patches of sunset glow were floating in the sky.

As the two chatted and laughed, the bamboo baskets they were carrying were already filled with honeysuckle.

"Chunzhi, let's go home! I think we should be home by now."

Chunzhi said "hmm".

Then, they walked towards the roadside where the backpacks were placed.

An Yue and Chunzhi carried their backpacks and bamboo baskets on their backs and walked along the path behind the mountain towards home.

A moment later, they arrived at the door of their home.

An Yue saw An Nian squatting at the gate of the yard, holding a book in his hands, reading intently.

An Yue walked towards the main entrance and asked An Nian with a smile: "Niannian is home!"

An Nian heard Anyue's voice, and looked up to see Anyue and Chunzhi.

He quickly stood up, stuffed the book in his hand into the cloth bag, and ran towards them with a smile.

"Sister, Sister Chunzhi, you are finally back!" An Nianxi smiled and took the bamboo basket from An Yue and Chunzhi.

"Niannian is standing at the gate. Has she been waiting for quite some time?"

An Yue put the backpack at the gate of the yard and turned around to open the gate.

The door was opened and An Nian was the first to push it open.

He said leisurely:
