Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 69 - 0. Superpower Propagation, Harvest Abundant

The ones with the eager attitude, that’s Lian Hai and Lian Yue, who don’t understand what it’s like to be fed dog food, also felt a bit of hidden amusement, even a slight annoyance in their hearts.

Of course, to prevent the new Saozi from feeling embarrassed, whether it’s amusement or annoyance, they must keep it tightly under wraps.

On the other hand, Liu Shouren, Liu Shouyi, and Su Hongying, this Saozi, nodded repeatedly, feeling that this brother-in-law, compared to Dai Weiguo, the ungrateful Chen Shimei, might be a little poor and not very promising, but his tenderness and care for their little sister was something the ungrateful one couldn’t catch up to no matter how hard he tried.

Just looking at the little sister’s happy smile, they felt they really did pick an excellent son-in-law!

As for being poor?

Haha, what the Liu family lacks the least is money anyway!

As long as they get through these turbulent years and wait for things to stabilize. If nothing else, just the siblings’ pile of gold, silver, and jewels hidden under the kang would instantly elevate them from poverty to riches.

Just the dowry box for the little sister alone is enough for her and Lianshan to live off for several generations without exhausting the mountains.

Having been accustomed to her own man’s care in her past life, and remembering how decades later, people would talk about love all the time, hand-holding and even kissing on the streets became commonplace,

Shuzhen didn’t find it uncomfortable to be cared for everywhere, nor did she have the time or space to ponder these things.

Her attention was completely on how to find opportunities to accelerate the growth of little mushrooms!

Indeed, this ability to instantly grow plants and fungi is pretty awesome, but it requires prerequisites, doesn’t it?

At the very least, she needs to find mycelium or tiny mushrooms.

Just like with hastening plant growth, you at least need seedlings or seeds!

Fortunately, this early autumn season is when mushrooms and wood ear fungi are most abundant. Even with the villagers’ layered picking at the base of the mountain in the hazel bush piles, almost performing a carpet search, there’s definitely no big haul, but after the picking, there’s still quite a bit of mycelium and tiny mushrooms, about the size of a cherry.

Ever since she accidentally caused Lin Yuanzhi to fall and unexpectedly gained the ability to use her power from a distance without direct contact, Shuzhen was delighted.

Taking advantage of Lianshan not paying attention, she quickly took two steps forward, and with just a thought, she watched those tiny mycelium in the chaotic heap of decaying leaves rapidly take root and grow, sprouting a cluster of earth-toned tiny umbrellas.

In the blink of an eye, what was a barren heap of leaves suddenly sprouted a dense cluster of hazel mushrooms.

The tightly packed, closely grown appearance, heck, was even neater and more tender than artificially planted ones.

When Lianshan, with a solemn face, approached, she had already completed her task, smiling as she showed him the treasure: "Lianshan, Lianshan, come quickly, see what I’ve found? Quickly hand me my basket, let’s pick all these little treasures and take them home!"

Her voice, full of surprise, instantly drew everyone’s focus to her fingertip.

Then, everyone was stunned!

A tightly packed stretch of hazel mushrooms, easily ten meters wide! Did Saozi/little sister/sister-in-law stumble upon a mushroom ring?

They had long heard that mushrooms could grow in clusters over a large area when the rain was plentiful, and with good luck, encountering a mushroom ring could mean collecting several bags worth.

But such good luck was something none of them had ever encountered.

Happily, they all briskly approached, planning to pick this large patch of hazel mushrooms first.

"Hey, Shuzhen, with us here, it’s enough. You’re pregnant and haven’t crossed the first three months, so don’t squat or bend over to strain yourself. Just stand aside obediently and wait. Once we’re done picking, we’ll head home!" Seeing Shuzhen about to bend over and pick mushrooms, Lianshan quickly came forward to gently persuade her. To prevent her from getting tired from standing alone, he even fetched a small stool from his large basket.

Finding a flat spot, he opened up that small stool, indicating for Shuzhen to sit and rest if she got tired, clearly showing he was well-prepared.

At this point, even an idiot could see that he had no intention of letting Shuzhen work. If it weren’t for Brother Liu, Liu Shouren’s words, this man who cared for his wife might not have even allowed Shuzhen to make this trip.

Everyone laughed together, choked up by this sudden dog food, and after a speechless moment, they began to persuade Shuzhen to quickly sit down and rest, not to waste the good intentions of the big brother/brother-in-law.

Anyway, today’s luck was good, coming across this patch of hazel mushrooms that grew like crops in a field, so dense. Just crouching down quickly to pick them was enough; it wasn’t necessary to wander the forest like before. Whether there was one more or one less person really didn’t matter.

Shuzhen had just done a beautiful job and was waiting to roll up her sleeves and work hard now!

At this time, asking her to sit down obediently and wait for them to finish picking mushrooms and then go home?

Hmm, what kind of joke is this!

Of course, Shuzhen refused, but a man’s good intentions, albeit misplaced, were also his way of spoiling her. So even though Shuzhen couldn’t really accept it, she also couldn’t just stubbornly oppose him in front of her in-laws, embarrassing him.

She repeatedly assured everyone that she would only wander nearby, to see if she could help them find new targets.

Lianshan still wanted to object, saying that the mountain forest was deep and full of tree stumps, making it hard to walk, especially just after the rain. Even if she stayed nearby, firmly within their sight, he was still uneasy.

But before he could say anything, the quick-mouthed second brother-in-law agreed readily.

Lianshan was helpless, so he had to speed up his movements, wanting to finish picking this patch of mushrooms quickly. Then head back home swiftly, every second his wife stayed in the mountains was a second his heart was in his throat!

But Shuzhen was insisting on going up the mountain, thinking about using the wild wood ear mushrooms to display her superpowers. Without some results, would she be satisfied to return home obediently?

Don’t joke, okay!

Didn’t you see her eyes shining brightly, after hastening the growth of three more patches of hazel mushrooms, she was already targeting dead trees, rotten stumps, and other spots likely to yield wood ear mushrooms?

Before the others even finished picking the initial patch of hazel mushrooms, they heard her delighted little sounds reporting joy continuously: "Wow, so many black wood ear mushrooms! Big brother, second brother, second Saozi, Lianshan, Xiao Yue, Hai Zi, Jianshe, come quickly! Clear these dead trees, and we’ll have at least two pounds of dried wood ear mushrooms.

Hey, hey, there’s more over there!

Ah, there’s some here too!"

The light and cheerful voice was like a jubilant little bird, bringing good news one after another.

It made those picking mushrooms dazed for a moment: This, was this really the hazel bush pile everyone had picked over, unwilling to let even the children pick mushrooms here? They had said there were plenty of mycelium but hadn’t noticed any good mushrooms!
