After the rain, many people went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but they went to the outskirts. Even though there were many people, the area was vast, so the harvest was plentiful. The three female comrades were especially joyful. Not only that, but Ming Mei also managed to catch a wild chicken.
The mood was truly excellent.
In contrast, Old Man Zhuang and Zhuang Zhiyuan, the two men, had a smaller harvest. The two of them fished all day and only caught three fish, though they were decent-sized. This made them reminisce about the previous year, realizing that such good fortune wouldn't repeat itself.
Regardless, any harvest was a good one.
The whole family was surprised to hear that Zhuang Zhixi had taken the kids out.
Hutou and Xiao Yanzi were jumping around excitedly. Hutou said, "We had ice cream! Uncle Zhuang bought one for each of us, and it was so delicious and cold."
