Lin Boyu does what he says.

However, faced with the piles of herbs that looked like small mountains every day, even if he took the time to help, it didn't seem to be of much use.

"Come here and have your meal."

Old Mrs. Lin called out again and again, but no one ate.

They are all a bunch of careless people.

Even though he knew he was not feeling well, he still didn't eat on time.

She walked over and pulled her eldest grandson onto the dining chair, then carried her younger granddaughter to the chair, and then looked at Liu.

Liu's old face turned red and she quickly ran to do it.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, Mrs. Lin, who had nothing to do, went to help process the herbs.

She doesn't understand professional things, but she can still do those picky classifications.

After the family of three had eaten their fill, Old Mrs. Lin put down the herbs in her hand, collected the dishes, washed them, and returned to the old house.

Since Lin Shiyi took over the household chores of the old house, Mrs. Lin no longer had to worry.

She was hurrying back to get her basket to gather herbs.

No matter where she does housework, she will do it in her spare time.

No one would complain about having too little money.

When she returned, she happened to see Lin Shiyi coming back from the second room.

She went back to cook for the two "dead people" at home. After she cooked the meal and brought it over, she ran back to the old house. She didn't want to stay at home for a moment longer.

In that family, you were either scolded or beaten.

"Grandma, I'm going too."

"Take up the basket and follow."

Lin Shiyi immediately picked up the other basket, not daring to delay for a moment.

There were so many people in the village, but no one was willing to team up with her, and she didn't dare go out alone.

Now that Old Lady Lin is here with us, it couldn’t be better.

…

For seven consecutive days, Lin Shiyu and the others were extremely busy.

Because several new herbs were added, the workload increased greatly.

However, the workload lasted less than seven days before slowing down.

Because the autumn harvest has begun.

No matter what job you do or how much money you can earn, as a farmer, the only thing you care about during this period is the harvest.

So everyone put the herb picking on hold.

Even the private school was on vacation, and Lin Anru returned home.

"You're back just in time. The crops haven't been harvested yet. You and your son can go!"

As soon as she got home, Liu pushed her husband and her son, who was bored reading in the house, to work.

Knowing that she could not help at home, Lin Anru took her son to harvest the crops.

The three families didn't have much land, but with the help of other people in the village, they harvested the crops in less than a day.

"Your family has such a small piece of land, and it's making you so tired?"

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Boyu with contempt, wondering if San'er's family were all in poor health.

Lin Boyu looked at Old Mrs. Lin resentfully, not wanting to say anything more. He dragged his tired body back to his room.

Lin Anru, who was standing by, answered for her son: "He was really hit by Xuewen."

Mrs. Lin ignored it after hearing this.

She doesn't understand anything about studying, so she doesn't talk nonsense and annoy others.

"Why? Is he such a bad student?"

Liu pointed in the direction of Lin Boyu's house and asked.

Lin Anru shook her head: "Not really."

He just couldn't stand his son's cocky attitude and wanted to give him a slight blow.

Seeing his wife looking at him with an ambiguous look, Lin Anru touched his nose guiltily and then changed the subject:

"I see my house is almost full of herbs. How about I go to the county town this morning?"

The herbs must be converted into cash before the next step can be taken.

"How many days do you have off? Do you want to rest at home for a day before going?"

Liu did not agree.

The son looked unhappy, and the husband's wasn't much better.

His already thin body became even thinner after he went to the county town to study.

The clothes that had fit him before now hung empty on him.

"I don't need to rest. The private school is closed for three days, and I have plans for these three days."

There is really no time to spare.

Liu sighed.

Liu felt distressed.

Liu decided to catch a chicken tonight and ask the old lady to kill it to nourish everyone.

…

Before dawn the next day, Lin Anru set out for the county town.

Liu and Lin Shiyu continued to work on their herbs, while Lin Boyu was assigned to guard the drying field.

The drying field is guarded by children from various families. In the past, there were some adults guarding it, but this year everyone is rushing to collect herbs to make money, so only the children are left.

It becomes lively when there are more children.

Only Lin Boyu was quiet and a little unsociable.

"Boyu, if you keep watching, your rice will be eaten up by Que Er."

The little fat boy had no idea how many times he had helped Lin Boyu chase away the birds, and he shouted this line every time.

"You help me catch up first, and I'll take over after I finish reading this book." Lin Boyu replied without turning his head.

"Okay, then take a quick look."

As soon as the little fat boy finished speaking, he continued to chase the sparrows in a hurry.

Boyu said that he would lend the book to him after he finished reading it. How could he not be enthusiastic?

Lin Boyu was sitting on a rock reading a book.

In fact, he had already read the contents a long time ago and was so familiar with them that he could recite them by heart.

He is still reading it now, but it’s just because there are some things in the book that he doesn’t understand.

His father said that he should read it and memorize it first and then understand it. If he still doesn’t understand it, he should read it a few more times.

If you still don’t understand after a few times, wait for him to come back and help you solve the problem.

This is the disadvantage of not pursuing a serious education, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Nearing noon, Lin Boyu was still confused, but he couldn't keep asking the fat boy for help, so he had to switch with him.

At this time, Lin Anru, who had left for the county town, had returned home.

As soon as he got home, he took the registration book to check the details and then went to see the village chief.

"Keep this money. Go to the market in a few days and buy some food."

Lin Anru handed the money to the village chief.

The village chief looked confused.

He was waving a sickle in the field one moment, and the next moment he was called back home to collect money?

“What are you buying food for?”

He knew that this money was half of the silver from the sale of the new herbs.

"As a reserve grain." Lin Anru explained: "If we want the tribe to develop well, we must ensure food and clothing. Once food and clothing are guaranteed, the future profits can be used for education or learning a craft."

"Every family has food, so there's no need for it."

In previous years, some people still sold grain, but I guess no one in the village will do so this year.

Every household has income, so who would still want to sell grain?

"Yes." Lin Anru said firmly: "Only when people are full can they have the energy to do other things. If they worry about going hungry every day, how can they have the energy to learn other things?"

"Okay, then I'll go to the market after the autumn harvest."

Lin Anru must have his reasons for saying this. Besides, the money was earned with the help of others, so he should be obedient.
