The radishes were so delicious that they were all dug out from our land. When we bought the land, it was full of rocks. I didn’t expect that radishes would grow there now.”

Du Wanchun was surprised, then her eyes curved and she smiled, “That’s great.”

“Yes, we can make radish soup for lunch today.” Aunt Zhou poured out all the radishes in the basket and put them on the ground. After looking at them for a while, she said, “But we can’t finish eating so many radishes.”

Du Wanchun squatted down, picked up a radish and weighed it in her hand. She suddenly had an idea and said, “Mom, why don’t we take these radishes to the county and sell them.”

“Sell radishes?” Aunt Zhou was a little surprised.

Du Wanchun showed her sweet dimples and nodded: "Yes, I'm selling radishes."

Auntie Zhou looked puzzled and said: "There are people who buy these radishes? I see that every household in the village grows them."

Du Wanchun stood up and said slowly: "Mom, the villagers all grow radishes, but the dignitaries in the county don't. They usually ask people to collect vegetables in the nearby village. Why don't we just find a family to sell them to."

"Who to sell to?" Auntie Zhou asked hurriedly. She has only been in Changliu Village with her children for a few years. Not to mention people in the county, she doesn't know many people in the village.

Du Wanchun suddenly thought of someone, Auntie He, the kitchen helper of Li County's family.

Auntie He and her mother used to be from the same village. They grew up together and had a good relationship. Later, she married the guard of Li County Magistrate's family and worked as a kitchen helper. Gradually, they had less contact.

However, when her mother was still alive, Aunt He often helped buy a lot of food and vegetables for their family.

She had seen it many times when she followed her mother to deliver vegetables.

"Mother, I know the kitchen assistant of Magistrate Li. Why don't I take him to the county to see if he can be sold." Du Wanchun said with a smile.

Aunt Zhou thought about it, "Okay, but I have to go with you."

Zhou Zhao stood up and said, "Mother, you are still busy sewing clothes for your sister-in-law, why don't I go with her."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou looked sideways at the remaining cloth on the table and felt a little embarrassed.

"My third brother is busy looking after our land, why don't I go alone." Du Wanchun was afraid that Aunt Zhou would not agree, and then said, "Mother, don't worry, I have been to the county, and I will be fine alone."

The family's land was just about to be returned, and no one was watching it. The Chen family next door would probably take it back again.

Aunt Zhou looked at the cloths and frowned. She was worried about Du Wanchun going out alone, but she also didn't want her to have nothing to wear when she returned home the day after tomorrow. She didn't know what to do.

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan came out of the room pushing a chair, "Why don't I go with her?"

"You?" Aunt Zhou looked at him in disbelief.

"Ruiyuan, aren't you always reluctant to go out?"

Zhou Ruiyuan pushed the chair to Du Wanchun's side and slowly looked outside the house, "Mom, sometimes, we can't hide all the time."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes sank slightly, and she immediately understood what he meant, "Okay, I'll be relieved if you accompany Wanchun."

Zhou Zhao walked over and said, "Brother, will it be inconvenient for your legs to go like this?"

Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "It's okay. So many radishes happen to need a car to transport. I'll ask my third brother to borrow a carriage from the Wang family at the entrance of the village."

The Wang family at the entrance of the village is an old couple with no children. Like the Zhou family, they are not well received by the villagers, but they are surprisingly good to the Zhou family. They are very generous to borrow a bowl of rice or a carriage from them on weekdays.

Aunt Zhou thought it was okay, and quickly picked out a few good ones from the pile of radishes and handed them to Zhou Zhao, saying, "Go and ask Uncle Wang to borrow a carriage, and give this to them."

Zhou Zhao took it in his hand and nodded, "Okay, mother, I'll go right away."

He took the radishes, turned around, left the house and went to the village gate.
