Zeng Wenjuan didn't come back for lunch, so there was food in the pot. Chen Yitang could just heat it up and eat it. After lunch, Goudan fell asleep, so he went back to the house to lie down and rest. Chen Yitang was still carving a jade plaque outside.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Yitang finished the jade pendant. He found a black string from his bag, made a few jade beads, and made a necklace.

"Grandpa, is this jade pendant for me? It's so beautiful." Goudan said happily.

After Chen Yitang put the jade pendant on Goudan, he smiled and said to him, "It's really beautiful. This thing is the same as your zodiac sign, the pig. You have to wear it all the time in the future and it will keep you safe."

"Okay..." Goudan happily lowered his head and looked at the jade plaque carefully. The pig on the jade plaque was lifelike, cute and very detailed.

On the other side, Zeng Wenjuan was working in the field. Ge Qingqiu next to her asked, "Why didn't you bring Goudan to the field today? Shitou said he wanted to play with his brother Goudan when he got up this morning, but he didn't see him when he got here. He even got mad at me."

"Since there's someone at home, I didn't bring him here to avoid him gathering dust." Zeng Wenjuan was hoeing the ground again and again. When she heard Ge Qingqiu's question, she turned around and answered.

People who work in the fields all year round have learned to be shrewd and will not stop working when they talk. But if they talk while working, they always shout loudly, otherwise the wind is too strong and they can't be heard at all.

"Is that so? That's good. Your biological father never thought of taking you back to see his identity, that's different. Why did you come to live in the village?" Ge Qingqiu chatted with Zeng Wen about family matters.

"Didn't I owe the Zhao family pension money before? Yesterday I finally repaid the debt of gratitude for the past ten years. But I haven't met my biological parents in all these years, and it always feels a little weird. That's why I didn't want to go back with him." There was nothing wrong with this. Since someone asked, Zeng Wenjuan answered truthfully.

Zhao Hongtiao smiled and said, "Stop chatting and get back to work. I'm turning the soil while looking for medicinal herbs. I've found quite a few."

After hearing this, Ge Qingqiu looked at Zeng Wenjuan and asked again: "Wenjuan, shouldn't you find some time to teach us how to prepare medicinal materials? Otherwise, we will have to ask you to help us every time, which is so tiring."

"Well, the village chief should notify us later. When we get off work early in the evening, my master...father will teach us how to prepare medicinal materials. He is an expert in this field and knows a lot." Zeng Wenjuan replied.

If Chen Yitang heard Zeng Wenjuan admitting that she was his biological father, he would be so excited that his daughter finally acknowledged him as her father. It was effective to get familiar with her in the past two days.

Soon the village chief really came. He shouted loudly: "Everyone should get off work early tonight and gather in the canteen."

………

…

Just when Chen Yitang had just finished making the jade plaque, Zeng Wenjuan and the others had finished work and went home. Goudan saw his mother coming back and ran towards Zeng Wenjuan with the jade plaque.

"Mom, look quickly, this is the jade plaque my grandpa made for me. It looks like a pig on it, chubby and delicious."

Zeng Wenjuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He carefully took the jade plaque and examined it. There was a pig shape on the front and a string of numbers engraved on the back, which looked like a phone number.

"The phone number above is the home phone number. If the child gets lost, you can ask someone to call this number and someone will come to pick me up. But our Goudan is so smart. As long as I am here, I will definitely not let him get lost again." Chen Yintang also left and came over to explain to Zeng Wenjuan.

Losing the child once was an accident, but losing the child a second time was definitely intentional.

"Master, your craftsmanship is quite good. This pig is very lifelike." Zeng Wenjuan was a little amazed. Chen Yitang's family conditions were indeed quite good, and he even had a phone. But he didn't say anything, just simply praised the jade plaque.

"Grandpa said he would teach me lessons on this kind of jade pendant in the future. But I have to start by carving a radish first. After all, this jade is too hard for me to carve." Goudan said to Zeng Wenjuan.

Zeng Wenjuan smiled and said nothing, she just rubbed Goudan's head, as if to remind him to study hard.

After every household had finished dinner, they all went to the ancestral hall together, and everyone sat down in rows on their own small stools.

Chen Yitang stood on the stage holding several herbs they had purchased. The villagers said, "The preparation methods of these herbs are the same, but there are some details to be processed, so there will be some differences."

"Here are the processing methods of Gastrodia elata: 1. Cleaning: Wash Gastrodia elata with clean water to remove impurities and dirt. 2. Soaking: Soak the washed Gastrodia elata in clean water to allow it to fully absorb water. 3. Steaming: Steam the soaked Gastrodia elata in a steamer until it becomes soft. 4. Slicing: Take out the steamed Gastrodia elata and cut it into thin slices, generally 2-3 mm thick. 5. Drying: Finally, put it in a sieve to dry until it is air-dried. The processing methods of Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Forsythia suspensa, etc. are as follows..."

This class lasted more than two hours. Some people who didn't understand were asked to demonstrate on stage. Most of them learned half of it, but with more practice, they could basically do it very well.

As soon as Chen Yitang finished his lecture, all the villagers surrounded Zeng Wenjuan and praised her lavishly: "Girl Wenjuan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, no one in the village would have the opportunity to make a fortune. What's more, this is a long-term opportunity."

"That's right. If it weren't for Wenjuan, I wouldn't have let my damned girl go to school. She's learning it differently. She could even say two words a few days ago."

"That's right. Those who were able to make money before were all educated people. Although studying is useless now, maybe it will be useful in the future. This Wenjuan girl really did a good thing."

"Who said it wasn't true? It's just that the people of the Zhao family are a bunch of blind people. They drove people away when they had such a good treasure. They will cry in the future."

"I heard that the people of the Zhao family and his daughter-in-law's family from the same village are also collecting herbs, but the price is quite low. One of my nieces married there."

"Really? The price is quite low, it can't be that low. At least I can make money. It's a good thing to make money."

"What? Here, the gastrodia elata is more than 90 yuan per catty. It's hard to dig, but if you can dig up one and a half catties, you'll make a fortune. It's different there. The gastrodia elata is only five yuan per catty. He's really a black-hearted person. He made so much money. Aren't you afraid that your son will be born without an anus?"
