Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 1 Chapter [-] Song Qiu

It was the beginning of summer, just after a few summer rains, and there were still crystal drops of water hanging on the pine needles all over the mountain, shining brightly under the long-lost sunshine.

Songshan Village, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, has only about [-] households, and most of them gather together.

There are only two separate families at the foot of the mountain, the Song family and the Zhang family.

There are seven or eight houses clustered together in the courtyard on the left, all of which are green brick and tile houses. This is the Zhang family.

On the right, near the foot of the mountain, there are only three simple wooden houses, two large and one small, in the small courtyard surrounded by fences. This is the Song family.

Zhang's family had nearly a dozen people living together, so it was naturally lively, while the Song family had to live with the old Yuan family and Song Qiu's grandfather and grandson, so it was much more deserted.

There are vegetable fields on both sides of the yard, leaving only a road in the middle. Vegetables that should be planted in this season are planted in the vegetable field. The vines of courgette, loofah and sword bean are drawn into dense nets and hung in the corner of the yard, and they are almost pulled out. Outside the fence, there are all kinds of flowers blooming, and the growth is very gratifying.

More than a dozen boys and girls came here from the main road of the village with baskets or baskets on their backs, and someone shouted at the two yards from a distance.

"Song Qiu! Pear Blossom! Let's go! Pick up mushrooms!"

"Eh!"

The two voices responded immediately. First, Zhang Lihua, carrying a basket on his back, ran out from the courtyard of the Zhang family on the left, and then, Song Qiu, carrying a basket on his back, also ran out quickly from the house of the Song family on the right.

The two merged into the team of boys and girls together, and the group went up the mountain talking and laughing.

Villagers in Songshan Village do not have their own land, so they either go to the landlord’s house to do part-time work for the landlord’s family during the busy farming season, or they rely on the mountains and rivers to eat.

This season is the time when the mushrooms on the mountain are blooming. Pick up the mushrooms and buy them in the market, or pick up too many mushrooms and dry them into dry goods, and then sell them in winter or when they are green and yellow. It is also a good dish. People are buying it.

Especially just after it rains, the fungus grows even worse. As long as you have good eyesight, you can pick out half of the basket in less than half an hour.

When a group of people hit the mountain, they dispersed, went into the woods, and carefully picked up the mushrooms.

The clothes on Song Qiu's body were too short. Although it was cool, it was still tight in the mountains, but she didn't care at all.

It has been almost two months since I came here, and I have been seriously ill for a month. I have seen the poverty of this family. All the money in the family was used for her medical treatment, and I owed a lot of foreign debts.

Life is hard, it's good to be able to survive, now how can I care about whether the clothes fit or not?
Thinking of her grandma who went to Xiao's farm twenty miles away as soon as the rain stopped in the morning, Song Qiu gritted her teeth secretly, her eyes widened and she was walking around under the tree, speeding up the action of picking up mushrooms.

In her previous life, in her hometown town, every June and July, the big guys liked to go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. The mushrooms are crispy and refreshing, and they are stir-fried with chili. Too much meat.

When she was in school, every time she went back to her hometown during the summer vacation, she often went to the mountains to pick up mushrooms with her neighbors and others in the yard.

Therefore, she is good at picking up mushrooms.

After a while, the mushrooms in the basket in my hand piled up like a mountain, and it was almost full.

Zhang Lihua, who came here from time to time while looking under a tree not far away, widened her eyes when she saw the mushrooms in her basket, "Aqiu, your eyes are so good this year! How could picking up mountain mushrooms be so good in previous years!"

Zhang Lihua is Yuanshen's best friend, and they grew up together since they were young, so the friendship is naturally worth mentioning.

Song Qiu also liked this lively, bright, hardworking and kind girl very much.

Hearing the words, she looked at the mushrooms that she only had half in the basket, and said, "I'll pick it up for you when the basket is full."

"That's fine, Aqiu, you're the best. If I'm not satisfied with this basket, I'll be scolded when I go back." Zhang Lihua stuck out her tongue, and as she spoke, she turned down the slant. She happened to see a shiny green flower. The mung bean fungus is there.

Song Qiu also turned around, and continued to go to the forest that he hadn't been to before.

But no matter how the two walked, they would not stay too far away, and kept a distance that would allow them to respond with a single call.

Unlike other people in the village who came up the mountain together, some of them have already run up the mountainside ahead.

The mountain that Songshan Village is backed by is called Songshan Mountain, not only the few hills behind it, but also the higher ones that extend more than ten miles away, and that one is the main peak of Songshan Mountain.

There is a Songshan Temple on the main peak, and there is a monk named Yuanfa in the temple who is really effective. There are so many people who go to this Songshan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Even from the county town which is half a day's journey away, there are believers who come here specially.

If you meet monk Yuanfa preaching scriptures, there will be even more crowds, countless people, and it will be very lively.

Therefore, Ping'an Village under Songshan Temple has formed a large market, and people from seven or eight surrounding villages like to go there to go to the market or sell some home-made eggs and so on.

For example, if they picked up the mushrooms, if they didn't sell them further to Panshi Town, they could just go to the assembly in Ping'an Village, more than ten miles away.

If other villages don’t rely on mountains, if they want to eat mountain mushrooms and don’t want to go all the way to the mountains to pick them up, don’t they just want to buy them?

Anyway, there are things on this mountain, and they are not expensive. The house is a little loose, so it’s okay to buy a two-pound one and go home to taste it.

People from Songshan Village who sell mushrooms every year are naturally very keen on picking mushrooms.

Song Qiu was eager to earn money. As soon as the rain stopped, the mushrooms on the mountain sprouted. Of course, he had to pick them up quickly. Taking advantage of the blooming season, he could earn more money so that he could pay off the family's debts.

Not long after, Song Qiu got out of the woods with a basket on his back, the basket was already full, and he still had a handful in his hand, "Pear blossoms!"

As soon as she yelled, Zhang Lihua climbed up from the side of the slope, with a few pine needles stuck in her hair and mud on her face.

Song Qiu laughed when he saw it, walked over a few steps, put a handful of mushrooms in his hand into her pannier, and raised his hand to take out the pine needles from her hair.

"Let's go, let's pick it up as we walk back."

Zhang Lihua nodded in response, looked around, and saw other people gathered around, and they were all going down the mountain.

"It's a bit slippery going down the mountain, Ah Qiu, be careful, step on places with leaves."

Carrying a basket on their backs, the two went down the mountain carefully.

It just rained, and the mountains are wet. The road that is usually walked by people is still slippery, but it is easier to walk in the woods.

All the way down the mountain, Zhang Lihua's basket was filled with the mushrooms that had been picked up.

A group of people met at the foot of the mountain, and everyone saw that the two of them had picked up a full back, and they were all joking.

Zhou Shitou also picked up a full basket. He looked at Zhang Lihua and said, "Lihua, my father is going to the town tomorrow. Are you going to sell mushrooms in the town? You can take my ox cart."

Before Zhang Lihua could speak, the others said one after another, "Shitou, I'm going to town!"

"I'll go too! Take me with you!"

"And I!"
