When the rice porridge was cooked and the eggs were cooked together, Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan finished their breakfast, then took their tools and went with Goudan to the place where they had reclaimed land yesterday.

Except for the day when work is assigned each week, there is no need to hold meetings every day. After all, it is not the busy farming season and every household has something to do. The village chief just needs to see that all the assigned work is completed.

When they got to the field, Goudan and Shitou started playing in the haystack. Children's world is relatively simple and they can basically play together as long as there is no obstruction from their family members.

Zeng Wenjuan glanced at Goudan and began to dig the ground without any worries. Not long after she started working, she saw a black lump of stuff. Zeng Wenjuan subconsciously thought it was cow dung, and she was about to dig with a hoe.

The red light of the golden finger kept flashing, and Zeng Wenjuan was shocked. Could this be... Zeng Wenjuan thought of the medicine her son was going to take, and the principle of rather making a mistake than missing it, so she squatted down, and after seeing it clearly, she confirmed that this was the Ganoderma lucidum she was looking for.

The cap of Ganoderma lucidum is semicircular, the surface of the cap is reddish-brown, shiny, and has many circular lines. These lines are formed during the growth process of Ganoderma lucidum and are also one of its characteristics.

The stipe of Ganoderma lucidum is cylindrical, the surface of the stipe is white or light yellow, shiny, and has many fine hairs, while the inside of the stipe is white and hard.

After confirming it, Zeng Wenjuan was very happy. Goudan will definitely get better after taking the medicine. She carefully took out the sickle and picked the Ganoderma lucidum, and picked a lot of wild vegetables to block the Ganoderma lucidum so that it would not be crushed.

Because of this, Zeng Wenjuan was more motivated to work today. At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Wenjuan finished work. Zhao Hongtiao and Ge Qingqiu beside her were also motivated by Zeng Wenjuan's performance today, so they also finished work at six o'clock.

When Zeng Wenjuan returned home, she began to prepare the Chinese herbal medicines. After processing, she put them in bamboo baskets to dry.

"Goudan, mother is going to the front to ask your village chief grandmother for some vegetable seeds. Do you want to play at home or go with mother?" Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan and said.

Goudan put down the earthworm in his hand, clapped his hands, and rubbed it on his clothes. After doing all this, Goudan smiled and said to Zeng Wenjuan: "Mom, I want to go with you."

The mother and son carried a basket of vegetables and walked to the front yard. Standing outside the village chief's yard, Zeng Wenjuan shouted, "Is Aunt Yujuan home? I have something to talk to you about."

"Home, home, I'm in the kitchen! Come in!" Yuan Yujuan said as she was preparing dinner in the kitchen. When she saw Zeng Wenjuan and her son come in, she looked at them and said, "Have you had dinner? Let's eat at Auntie's house today!"

"We've eaten and are going to plant some vegetables in the fields. We thought we had no seeds at home, so we came to ask you for some seeds." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile. Of course, they hadn't eaten dinner yet, but it was not appropriate to eat at someone else's house.

Yuan Yujuan wiped her hands on the apron made of rags, then walked to the wall cupboard and took out a cloth bag. Then she asked, "I have Chinese cabbage, spinach, lettuce, radish, edamame, taro, corn, peanuts, eggplant, winter melon, pumpkin, and pepper seeds here. Do you want some of each? Or do you want to pick and choose?"

"If you are rich, please give me some of each. The land is quite large, and you can plant one kind of food there. Then you can change the flavors." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile.

Yuan Yujuan found a piece of newspaper and started to wrap the seeds one by one. Then she gave the seeds to Zeng Wenjuan: "Here... the seeds you asked for are all wrapped. When you plant them, add some fertilizer to the ground first, so the vegetables can grow better."

"Okay, thank you, auntie. We'll go back first." After getting the seeds, Zeng Wenjuan put down the three eggs in the basket, took Goudan's hand and prepared to leave.

Yuan Yujuan was sharp-eyed and immediately saw the egg Zeng Wenjuan put down. She took it in her hand and wanted to return it. She said with a straight face: "Hey, what are you doing? You and Goudan are in trouble now, take it back to supplement Goudan's nutrition."

"There are still some at home. Auntie, I won't hide it from you. This morning I saw a nest of eggs in the field, and some of them can still hatch chicks." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile, then she remembered something and asked again: "Auntie, do you think it's okay for me to raise chickens in the yard? I will clean it up."

"It's okay. There is still a chicken coop in the yard. I'll let Huzi go to your house to fix it up tomorrow. Jianguo is a promising man. If you two can get through this period, there will be more blessings to come!" Yuan Yujuan said to Zeng Wenjuan, fearing that Zeng Wenjuan would lose hope and could not go on living.

In the early years, there was famine and every household was not able to eat enough. They could only have two meals when they went to work. At that time, eating tree bark and roots was considered okay. What was even more terrible was eating Guanyin soil.

In order not to burden their children, the elderly and women died for the sake of their children. It was so pitiful at that time!

"I know, auntie. Let's go back first." Zeng Wenjuan took Goudan and left the village chief's house.

After watching the mother and son leave, Yuan Yujuan felt something was wrong. She looked down and saw the egg in her hand. She sighed, "Wenjuan is such a good girl, and Mrs. Deng is so unlucky!"

After returning home, Zeng Wenjuan put some mugwort on Goudan and herself, and then the mother and son went out, carrying backpacks and hoes.

Goudan knew that Zeng Wenjuan had to work, so of course he sat aside very obediently and learned the words that Zeng Wenjuan learned from the dictionary. After Zeng Wenjuan taught Goudan with branches on the ground, he squatted on the ground to reinforce his learning.

Zeng Wenjuan had already built five vegetable plots in the morning. Now she was going to plant the vegetable seeds. She used the back of the hoe to press a hole and then threw the seeds in. This was a very complicated process. When it was completely dark and the moon was brightly hanging on the branches, Zeng Wenjuan had finally finished planting the vegetable plot.

"Goudan, let's go home! Mother will fry two eggs for you tonight. They will be delicious. Let's make our Goudan a plump and white boy." Zeng Wenjuan said, holding Goudan's hand.

"Mom wants to eat too. I just learned all the characters she taught me yesterday." Goudan nodded obediently, then lowered his head dejectedly: "If only we had a pen at home, we could practice on newspapers and use white paper to light a fire." Children from poor families have to grow up early and will be very careful with their daily necessities.
