A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

Chapter 481 Why so many

Chu Yiling returned home at around 11 o'clock in the morning and saw that Meng Qiuping was the only one at home. She asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, where is my dad? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"No."

"Did Dad say when he would be back?"

"No, are you going up the mountain?"

"Well, Baldy and I went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Look at the mushrooms I picked. Aren't they fresh and big?"

"That's true. I've gone up the mountain with the villagers to pick mushrooms before, but none of them were as good as the ones you picked today."

"That's because we have Baldy. The place he took us to had a lot of mushrooms. You could say there were mushrooms everywhere you looked. It didn't take me long to pick up so many."

"That's great. When the village harvests mushrooms, they can make some money to supplement their family expenses."

"Yeah, so are all the mushrooms I picked today going to be used to make mushroom seasoning?"

“You don’t need that much. Besides, you can just use those crooked and cracked ones to make mushroom seasoning. They will be ground into powder anyway, so who knows if they looked ugly before they were ‘raw’.

As for the good-looking ones, we keep them for ourselves. We can’t let ourselves suffer any loss.”

"Then I'll go pick the mushrooms now. Mom, you go back to the kitchen and continue making lunch."

"it is good."

More than half an hour later, Chu Yiling put the two pots of sorted mushrooms under the eaves, then she walked into the kitchen and asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, is it time for lunch?"

"Almost done. I'll make another soup."

"Why don't we stop fighting? There are all kinds of soups in this space anyway. I can just serve a bowl."

"Okay, I made mixed noodles for lunch today. You can serve a bowl of kelp and tofu soup to relieve the greasiness."

When Chu Yiling heard Meng Qiuping's words, she immediately took out a bowl of kelp and tofu soup from the space, and then she sat at the dining table with Meng Qiuping to eat lunch.

When they were about to finish lunch, they saw Chu Anshan walking into the main room carrying a bunch of things. They quickly stood up to take the things Chu Anshan was carrying.

Then he asked Chu Anshan: "Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet. What did you have for lunch? Hurry up and give me one too. I'm starving."

When Chu Yiling heard what Chu Anshan said, she took out the mixed noodles that Meng Qiuping asked her to put away in the space. Then she served Chu Anshan a bowl of kelp and tofu soup, and sat back at the table to continue eating lunch.

After she finished eating all the noodles in the bowl, she asked Chu Anshan, "Dad, are you going to pick up the educated youth today?"

"Yes, and this time we brought back a particularly large number of educated youth, a total of eighteen."

"Eighteen, how can there be so many?"

"I don't know either, but this time each village has been assigned so many educated youth, so even if the village chief is not happy, he has to grit his teeth and take them back to the village."

"And then? How does the village chief plan to arrange for them?"

"This is none of our business. We already gave up our house last time, so the village chief can't find us this time."

"I hope so. However, the village will definitely be very lively in the near future. We will have something exciting to watch then."

Chu Anshan felt a little guilty when he heard Chu Yiling's words, but he didn't intend to tell Chu Yiling what happened on the ox cart because he was afraid that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Besides, he has nothing to fear as he is upright. If the other party dares to provoke him again, he will definitely sweep the other party into the garbage dump like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

Thinking of this, the guilty feeling in his heart disappeared instantly.
