I couldn't help but be a little surprised, as there are rarely people coming to my house on weekdays.

Lin Yunchu was not bad, he should have come to play with Pan Xiuxiu, but today it was Lin's father who brought Lin Yunchu to visit, and Pan's father was a little nervous.

I don't know what this sudden visit brings.

Although Lin Wenshan and I grew up together, we didn't interact much. Ever since I injured my leg, I have even less contact with people in the village.

It was a bit unexpected that Lin Wenshan came to the house today. Pan's father was a little confused. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Finally, it was Lin Yunchu who spoke first. "Sister Xiuxiu, this is the finished sour jujube cake. I brought it specially for you. Come and try it and see how it tastes."

As soon as the words fell, Pan Xiuxiu exclaimed in joy: "It's really done, Yunchu, you are amazing."

Pan Xiuxiu really didn't expect that those sour fruits that no one wanted in the back mountain were actually made into snacks by Lin Yunchu. She couldn't hide her excitement and curiosity.

After Lin Yunchu finished speaking, he stood up and put the sour jujube cake in Pan Xiuxiu's hand, motioning her to try it quickly to see how it tasted.

Seeing this, Pan Xiuxiu had no choice but to follow Lin Yunchu's instructions and took a piece to taste it. The sour and sweet taste immediately spread in her mouth, and Pan Xiuxiu was so surprised that her eyes widened immediately.

Some were in disbelief and hurriedly said, "Yun Chu, is this really the sour jujube cake you made that day? It's sour and sweet and really delicious. I've never eaten anything as delicious as this."

Pan Xiuxiu's lips curled up, her eyes were full of smiles, and she kept praising Lin Yunchu's good craftsmanship.

No one eats the wild fruits in the back mountain. Every year they fall to the ground and rot. Unexpectedly, with Lin Yunchu's skillful hands, they can be made into such delicious food.

This is even better than the snacks her father used to bring her when he was still working in town.

Hearing Pan Xiuxiu's praise, Lin Yunchu was immediately happy. He just said that if she liked it, he would ask her to eat more. He brought a lot for Pan Xiuxiu today, enough for her to eat for a while.

"Wenshan, what brings you here today?"

Father Pan looked at his daughter who was eating happily and couldn't help but ask Lin Wenshan.

The father and daughter of the Lin family came to the house today, but they didn't say a word for a long time. They couldn't have come just to bring snacks for Pan Xiuxiu, and they wouldn't have brought Lin Wenshan with them.

Finally, Father Pan couldn't help but speak.

When Lin Wenshan heard what Pan's father said, he looked at Lin Yunchu, turned his head and smiled, then told Pan's father in detail about the bamboo shoot digging.

As soon as Lin Wenshan finished speaking, the Pan family's house suddenly became quiet. Even Pan Xiuxiu, who had been eating sour jujube cake, stopped and stared at Lin Wenshan and the others in a daze.

What did you just say?

Help the Lin family dig bamboo shoots, or is it one cent per pound?

this........

In the end, it was Father Pan who came to his senses first, and he even spoke incoherently to Father Lin.

"What's the use of digging bamboo shoots from the back mountain? They only cost a penny per pound."

Pan's father had never heard of the uses of the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest on the back mountain. He did hear about it when he was a child. During famines in the early years, some people went to dig up those bamboo shoots and took them home to cook and eat.

But those things tasted very bitter and were completely inedible. Only the bamboos were still useful and could be made into bamboo mats and bamboo baskets for household use.

What did the Lin family want those bamboo shoots for? Why did they come to find me specifically? You know, he had a leg injury and couldn't do his work well. There were many young and strong men in the village.

Moreover, it only costs one penny per pound. When did the Lin family become so rich? The bamboo shoots are not light. Although it only costs one penny per pound, it is no problem to earn dozens of copper coins in a day.

This is more than what I could earn doing odd jobs in town. It's a great thing.

But how could such a good thing happen to him? However, he knew Lin Wenshan's character, so he was even more surprised and puzzled when he heard what Lin's father said.

Lin Wenshan nodded. They had already discussed this matter at the Lin family yesterday. They had already bought a lot of land and were indeed too busy to handle it.

Pan Xiuxiu was so shocked that she was speechless and looked at Lin Yunchu.

"Uncle Pan, I found the bamboo forest in the back mountain thanks to Sister Xiuxiu. Now our family needs a lot of bamboo shoots, so I came here to discuss it with you."

Lin Yunchu couldn't say that this was also a way to help the Pan family. "The mountain behind here isn't far away, and it won't interfere with your farm work on weekdays."

When Mr. Pan heard what Lin Yunchu said, he immediately looked at Pan Xiuxiu, and then glanced at the sour jujube cake on the table.

After returning home, Pan Xiuxiu mentioned to her father the incident of helping Lin Yunchu and his sister pick sour fruits in the back mountain two days ago, and recalled the last time when several people from the Lin family went to the town to patronize Xiuxiu.

Father Pan didn't understand anything at this time. In fact, the Lin family wanted to help him and his daughter, but they didn't say it explicitly because they were concerned about their reputation.

They offered such a high price. Although he didn't know what the Lin family wanted these bamboo shoots for, he didn't want to say too much.

However, the price offered by the Lin family is too high. We are all from the same village and just digging some bamboo shoots. There is no need to pay so much silver.

"Wenshan, there's nothing wrong with digging bamboo shoots, it's just... it's just..."

Father Pan looked embarrassed and said, "You don't need to give me so much money. If you need help, I will help you dig some bamboo shoots when I have free time."

If it were a normal day, when people in this village help each other, at most they would just have a meal together, and there would be no need to give money.

This is not right, not right!

Father Pan still thought that he could not take the money from the Lin family. If the Lin family needed help, he would naturally be willing to help. Although his leg was injured now, he had no problem going out on weekdays.

Not to mention going to the back mountain to dig some bamboo shoots. Apart from some inconvenience in my legs and feet, there is no problem doing some farm work.

What's more, the Lin family has helped Pan Xiuxiu before, so digging some bamboo shoots is not a big deal.

Father Pan waved his hands repeatedly, disagreeing with Lin Wenshan's suggestion of paying him money for helping him dig bamboo shoots.

"Uncle Pan, if you don't accept money, we will be embarrassed to ask you for help."

Lin Yunchu also understood what Pan's father meant. The father and daughter of the Pan family were indeed honest people. Although their lives were so difficult, they did not want to accept this matter immediately.

"Besides, digging bamboo shoots is not a one- or two-day thing. Our family needs it for a long time. If you don't agree, then my father and I will have to find someone else."

After saying this, Lin Yunchu pretended to stand up and was about to leave with his father.

When Pan Xiuxiu and Pan's father saw that the two seemed to really want to leave, they immediately stood up anxiously and waved at them hurriedly.
