The little ginseng she had previously transplanted to the edge of the spring.
Now two new ginseng seedlings have sprouted up next to it, and they are growing well.
What surprised her even more was that the originally thin little ginseng had been nourished by the spiritual spring water.
It's as thick as a little wrist now!
The willow branches also turned a vibrant green and glossy.
She bent down and gently touched it, her heart filled with joy.
It's time to pick them!
Su Qingzhi carefully dug the plump ginseng out of the soil bit by bit.
The ginseng has a plump and round shape, and looks like it's quite old.
She carefully preserved the ginseng, then took out the only five cents in her pocket and hitched a ride from the village to the county town. After a bumpy ride, she finally arrived in the county town.
To avoid attracting attention, she did not choose to sell at the small market in Qingshan Village.
After all, there are too many neighbors there, and one careless move could give you away.
She was willing to spend a little on travel expenses to ensure everything went smoothly.
Upon arriving in the county town, she went straight into a long-established traditional Chinese medicine shop.
The shop owner is a very experienced pharmacist.
After examining the ginseng carefully for a moment, he immediately quoted a price of three hundred yuan.
Su Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat.
This amount of money is a considerable sum in today's world!
She counted the banknotes carefully, one by one.
Then I carefully put it into my inner pocket, afraid that I would lose it on the way.
Upon returning home, she immediately went to her secluded little space to water the two still-tender ginseng plants.
She used the sacred spring water that she had treasured for a long time.
The willow buds of these two small ginseng plants are tender and lovely.
Swaying gently in the breeze.
She looked at them, her eyes full of anticipation.
These are the foundation upon which she will stand in the future, and the important capital she needs to defy fate.
She wasted no time and casually picked up a gray rabbit.
After processing the fur and internal organs, they returned to the Shen family courtyard satisfied.
That evening, the kitchen was filled with a wonderful aroma.
She plated the carefully cooked rabbit meat.
When served, the glossy, reddish-brown rabbit meat still gleamed with an enticing sheen.
The strong aroma of soy sauce hits your nose.
The siblings Shen Mingyu and Shen Mingyi reached out with their chopsticks almost simultaneously, vying to grab food, not even letting go of the edge of the pot!
Even my mother-in-law, who is usually the most picky and critical, ate with gusto this time, her mouth greasy and a smile on her face, praising the food repeatedly as she ate.
After the meal, the sound of bowls and chopsticks clattering came from the sink where the dishes were being washed.
Just then, Shen Cunpu took Su Qingzhi's hand.
"Wife, come inside."
Before leaving, he turned to Shen Mingyu and instructed him, "You and Mingyi will wash the dishes tonight."
Shen Mingyu was about to protest when his sister quickly agreed, "No problem!"
Shen Mingyi had a big smile on his face.
She now eats meat every day and has long taken this "happy labor" for granted.
She even thought about it willingly.
As long as she can eat meat every day, she's willing to wash dishes for the rest of her life!
Once inside, Su Qingzhi wiped her hands and asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"daughter in law."
Shen Cunpu stood under the lamp, rubbing his hands together, his expression showing a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
"There's something I've been thinking about for a long time, and I'd like to discuss it with you."
"What is it? Tell me."
Su Qingzhi was completely confused.
Shen Cunpu slowly exhaled.
“Last year, the town’s political and military departments selected young men to join the army, and I also gave it a try.”
As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes.
"But at that time, I was too weak and failed the physical examination, so I was not selected."
He paused, seemingly still recalling his disappointment at the time.
"But a few days ago, I heard that the town had started recruiting soldiers, so I went to give it a try. I didn't expect that this time..."
It's approved.
A hint of joy appeared on his face, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"The notification letters have already been sent out."
He paused slightly after he finished speaking.
"Honey, I want to go."
He looked up at Su Qingzhi, his eyes filled with determination.
“I want to go, to build a future for you, so that we won’t be stuck in the fields to make a living for the rest of our lives, and so that our future will get better and better.”
At this moment, Shen Cunpu felt as if his heart was hanging in mid-air, extremely nervous.
He also knew what his words meant.
He is not an ignorant person.
They naturally understood that relying on farming those few acres of meager land, it would be difficult for their family's life to undergo a significant change.
However, joining the army means leaving home, being separated from my wife, and no longer being able to hold her as I fall asleep at night, smell her fragrance, or touch her soft body.
This was the happiest thing for him in the past few months.
But what frightened him even more was his fear that Su Qingzhi would disagree.
He knew she was stubborn, and he felt sorry for her.
He was afraid she would feel reluctant to let him go.
If that's the case...
He might just not go.
No matter how tempting the road outside may be, he would give it up and stay by her side.
At this moment, as Su Qingzhi looked at Shen Cunpu, whose expression was constantly changing, a thought suddenly exploded in her mind.
yes!
Why didn't she think of that sooner?
Join the army!
Oh right, that means accompanying the army!
She could take advantage of this opportunity to leave with Shen Cunpu, who was in the army!
No more being trapped in this green mountain village, no more dealing with those scumbags!
No more being schemed against every day, and no more enduring her constant overt and covert humiliations!
