Li Tingyun glanced at Xu Erhua with a blush on his face, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just didn't squat properly."

"That's good." After hearing what Li Tingyun said, Xu Erhua continued to move forward with Heifeng.

Gu Xingwu carefully helped Li Tingyun up, fearing that he would hurt her with too much force.

After Li Tingyun stood up, he glanced at Gu Xingwu.

Gu Xingwu took her to the flower.

Li Tingyun almost laughed out loud when she saw the ginseng flowers. She patted Gu Xingwu's arm happily and said, "Find me another one like this."

"Okay!" Gu Xingwu agreed and turned around to get busy.

After Li Tingyun waited for Gu Xingwu to leave, he carefully dug out the ginseng root with a small hoe.

The age of this ginseng is about the same as the one dug before. Although it is less than a hundred years old, it is not much different.

Smuggling the ginseng into the space, she walked in this direction.

I didn't dig up any more radishes in the afternoon, but I did harvest a lot of other medicinal herbs.

As it was getting dark, several people went down the mountain with Heifeng.

At this time, some villagers had already gone back. They gave all the medicinal materials to Mr. Tang and asked him to carry them back. Some of the more seriously ill would go to Mr. Tang's house to get medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come to my place for dinner tonight?" said Mr. Tang.

"No, several grandpas and grandmas gave us a lot of vegetables yesterday, and we have so many food!" Li Tingyun suddenly remembered that he forgot to recognize anyone today.

Mr. Tang was very pleased to hear about this. At least it proved that not everyone in the village was conscienceless.

Li Tingyun and the others packed up and took Heifeng back home.

They made a quick dinner, and when it was over, they planned to make sauerkraut, but unfortunately they didn't have a large vat, so they had to give up.

When Gu Xingwu heard that they needed a large vat, he opened the door and went out.

When he came back, he brought back a big jar from somewhere.

With the previous experience as a lesson, Xu Erhua and Li Tingyun were a little panicked.

"Where did you get this jar?" Li Tingyun asked.

"I'm from my uncle's family." Gu Xingwu replied.

In other words, this big jar was carried back from the old branch secretary's house, but why didn't the two of them believe it?

Xu Erhua took Heifeng to the old branch secretary's house and confirmed that it was an unused water tank in the old branch secretary's house. Only then did she feel relieved and ran back.

"It's the unused water tank in the old branch secretary's house." She told Li Tingyun the confirmed facts.

Li Tingyun was busy putting the cabbage into the big vat. There was still some brown sugar in the space, which she took out to make pumpkin cakes.

Because there is not enough oil, it can only be steamed after it is cooked. It cannot be compared with deep-fried ones, but the taste is still pretty good.

She made a basket of pumpkin cakes and asked Gu Xingwu to send some to the old branch secretary, and they kept the rest for themselves.

I can only wait to give the villagers return gifts. When I have time, I will see if I can take a leave and go to the town.

…

They spent almost the next half month in the mountains.

After studying for these days, Gu Xingwu and Xu Erhua learned about many medicinal herbs.

Gu Xingwu has a photographic memory and learns things very quickly.

Xu Erhua is a little slower, but she comes back at night to make up for the lessons and learns a lot.

The flu outbreak at the construction site had finally passed, and the team leader and the old village chief were very grateful. Otherwise, they would definitely not have been able to complete the project on schedule.

"Captain, can we take a day off? I'd like to trouble Brother He Fei to take us to town?" Li Tingyun made a request.

"Okay, go find He Fei and tell him that I agreed to this." The captain agreed readily.

He Fei was very tired during this period, and he was very happy to hear that he could take a day off.

So, the next day they had a day off, and no one objected. In order to buy more things the next day, Li Tingyun borrowed a cart from Xiaoni's house.

The road to the town also goes towards Li Tingyun, but it is not the road under construction, but another fork in the road. In order to avoid running into the workers, He Fei took them out early.

Li Tingyun took note of all the villagers who had sent them vegetables before, and waited until he could buy sugarcane this time so that he could make more pumpkin cakes to give to the villagers.

The town was very quiet on such days. People were either busy working in the brigade or hiding at home.

The weather is too cold, and it’s easy to get hungry if you go out. Staying at home can save some food.

When they arrived in town, He Fei told them, "If you want to buy food, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative. If you want other things, you can exchange them for grain and coarse grains. There is no black market here, so it is impossible to trade privately."

"Where can I exchange some sugarcane to take back?" Li Tingyun asked again.

"There's no need to exchange sugarcane. I'll take you to cut a few bundles later. Go and see what you want to buy first, and buy what you need. We'll try to get back at noon and go up the mountain in the afternoon." He Fei's family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Although they had earned a lot of money before, they would not spend money on meat. They thought it was such a waste.

"Brother He Fei, are you going to your father-in-law's house to cut sugarcane?" Li Tingyun guessed it immediately.

"Yes, my father-in-law's family grows some sugarcane every year. They eat some of it themselves and give some to others." He Fei nodded.

Li Tingyun nodded in understanding, and they went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where they bought two bags of rice, two bags of sweet potatoes, a can of oil, two large cans, and some miscellaneous items.

This is the advantage of having a cart. You can put your things on the cart and cover them with grass so they won’t be conspicuous.

After buying it, they went to He Fei’s father-in-law’s house.

He Fei's father-in-law lives near the town, just a ten-minute walk away.
