Yu Xiangan now eats some of the produce from the farm himself, which now seems a bit useless.
Her farm does not follow the seasons, but with the advancement of technology, out-of-season items are common.
However, the warehouse and the spiritual spring water inside are priceless treasures.
A lot of things can be stuffed into the warehouse, and this spiritual spring water doesn’t seem to have much effect, but if you take it consistently, you can tell its effectiveness from the fact that she hasn’t been sick for such a long time.
It may not be able to cure cancer or other serious diseases, but it can improve people's immunity and keep people healthy, which is already amazing.
Lin Chuanbai has conducted many experiments, but he still cannot figure out the cause.
Perhaps he needed more sophisticated equipment, or perhaps the secret could not be solved.
Now that he has a processing workshop, Lin Chuanbai is freed. He can prepare medicinal materials, brew medicinal wine, ginseng tonic wine, etc.
He can even make moisturizing lotion and lipstick here.
If this can be realized, how much manpower and material resources can be saved.
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t take it out.
Because it saves time, Lin Chuanbai has developed new uses for it.
For example, if we conduct some control group experiments here, we can get the results in one day at the longest.
Lin Chuanbai: “!!!”
This is simply a magical artifact!
Yu Xiangan was also shocked.
She also had some rough understanding of this experiment.
Many experiments obtain their results through repeated trials, where one option is chosen from many possibilities. Some are successful, some fail, and even those that succeed may face a dead end when taking the next step.
In this line of work, patience and carefulness are essential.
Now if this possibility is verified, then the corresponding steps can be done in a processing workshop, and after getting the results, they can be replicated in a real laboratory. This is simply cheating!
Lin Chuanbai suffered from insomnia when he got this result.
Excited insomnia.
Then Yu Xiangan felt that she needed to buy him a car.
Register it under the company's name and give it to him for use.
Otherwise it would be inconvenient to go back and forth.
She couldn't stay here for long.
Lin Chuanbai also felt it was necessary, but...
Lin Chuanbai thought about the impact. If he drove into the school, he would definitely be looked at sideways by his colleagues.
What does it mean to be able to use a private car in the 1980s?
Lin Yihong and Lin Yining are twins. They are fraternal twins. They looked a bit alike when they were young, but when they grow up, you will never mistake them for each other.
Lin Yihong is a little cool and doesn't look very approachable, but once you get to know him, you will know that his cool expression is a complete misunderstanding. In contrast to him is his sister, who smiles at everyone she sees, is smiling all day long, has a sweet mouth, and is extremely popular.
Lin Yining transferred to Yangcheng, but the previous relationship was not severed.
Lin Chuanbai would buy envelopes and stationery for the family every once in a while, and Lin Yining was a big user of envelopes and stationery.
She had many people to write to.
One is my grandmother in the northwest, one is my great-grandfather and grandfather in Qincheng, one is my sister Wang Lijun whom I met during the summer special training, and the other is my childhood friend in the capital.
Because she is still young, before sending out these letters, Lin Chuanbai will look at the address and help mail them. He will not read the contents of the envelope to respect the child's privacy. And he doesn't need to peek, because she will not be able to help but share it with everyone.
After Lin Yining finished writing the letter to his great-grandfather Lin Duzhong, he ran to Lin Chuanbai and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Lin Chuanbai put down the book in his hand: "What's the matter?"
Lin Yining: "I have a classmate whose family has something wrong. He has lost a lot of weight recently. He used to be a very cheerful person, but now he is listless all day long. I want to help him, Dad, but I don't know how I can help him. I don't have enough pocket money."
Lin Chuanbai said seriously: "What happened to your classmate's family?"
"His mother is sick and needs surgery, which will cost a lot of money. His mother is not a formal employee, but a temporary worker, so she can only be reimbursed a very small proportion, and she has to pay most of it herself. His father is a teacher in our school, teaching junior high school, and now he is worried about the surgery fee. Dad, I want to help him. He is a very good person and has helped me a lot."
Lin Chuanbai: "How did you know? Who told you?"
Lin Yining lowered his voice: "I overheard it. When I went to the teacher's office to hand in my homework, I heard him asking for leave, and our teacher mentioned this matter."
Lin Chuanbai nodded: "Did you hear what his mother's illness was?"
Lin Yining frowned: "It looks like some kind of tumor."
Tumors can be divided into benign and malignant. If it is malignant, then it will be troublesome. If it is benign, then it is not so bad. And the tumor also needs to be classified according to where it is.
Lin Chuanbai: "What's your classmate's name?"
Lin Yining: "I told you before that I was Wang Lipan's deskmate, and his name was Chen Yi. Because he was fat, we usually called him Fatty. Actually, he was not very fat, but he looked fatter."
Lin Chuanbai had an impression: "Does he know that you know about this?"
Lin Yining shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't say it, I didn't know how to start."
Lin Chuanbai: "Then tell him about this when you go there tomorrow. Say that you overheard it by accident and ask him how his mother is doing. You two are good classmates and want to visit her. I will go to school with you tomorrow and I will talk to your teacher about the situation. We'll talk then, okay?"
Lin Yining was happy: "Okay, okay, that's great."
Mom is not at home, so Dad will definitely be able to come up with a good solution.
The next day at school, Lin Chuanbai apologized to the twins’ class teacher: “The child is ignorant and accidentally heard it. I brought him here to apologize to the teacher.”
The head teacher looked at Lin Yining with a gentle expression: "No, no, Yining is kind-hearted and wants to help classmates. I know, but you are still young, go to school and concentrate on your studies. Leave the rest to the adults."
Lin Yining nodded obediently: "Thank you, teacher."
The head teacher: "It's almost time for class, go back to the classroom."
It was only after Lin Yining left that the head teacher told the details of what had happened.
Chen Yi's mother went to the hospital because she was not feeling well, and was diagnosed with this disease. She was then troubled by the disease and could not afford the medical expenses.
Lin Chuanbai heard what happened and said, "Teacher, my child has a very good relationship with her classmates. They help each other. When my child first transferred here, it was thanks to them that he was able to integrate into the big group more quickly. Now his family is in trouble, and I want to help him. I wonder if it would be convenient for the teacher to call for voluntary donations in the class. The students will go back and tell their parents, and if the parents are interested, they will donate some money, so that at least some of the money can be raised."
The class teacher hasn't thought about calling for donations yet, and he wants to mention it to his superiors.
Why hadn't he thought of it before?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a feasible idea. Small amounts add up to a lot, and we are all colleagues, so we are all willing to donate a little.
Lin Yining returned to the classroom and apologized to the fat man. The fat man was stunned, and Wang Lipan next to him was also stunned.
The fat man shook his head: "It's okay, you didn't eavesdrop on me on purpose."
Wang Lipan was a little angry: "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing that happened in your family? You are so tired recently, is it because you went to the hospital to take care of your mother after school?"
The fat man lowered his head and nodded: "I don't know what to say."
Wang Lipan was speechless, then said: "We are friends, we can help you too."
The fat man shook his head: "We are all still students. If you know, you are just worried about me."
Seeing him like this, Lin Yining frowned and said, "My dad wants to visit your mom. Is that convenient?"
The fat man looked up in astonishment: "Huh?"
Lin Yining: "My parents are both very capable, he will definitely have a way!"
…
Lin Chuanbai and Lin Yining brought a fruit basket to the ward to visit Chen Yi's mother.
His mother was in a multi-person ward and his grandmother was taking care of her.
Fat dad has to work and raise money, so he doesn't have much time to take care of his mom here.
"Hello, Mrs. Chen. I am the father of Chen Yi's classmate Yining. The two children have a good relationship and help each other with their studies. I know what happened in your family and my child is very worried."
Mother Chen smiled and looked at Lin Yining: "Yining, I heard from my child before that my son has received a lot of care from your daughter." Even though she was sick, her breath was still very gentle. She looked at Lin Yining and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for taking care of Chen Yi."
I often get to eat all kinds of delicious food shared by others.
Lin Yining's eyes were red: "Auntie, you will definitely get better."
"Thanks."
Lin Chuanbai: "Our child is also taken care of by classmate Chen..."
The two men exchanged a few polite words. Lin Chuanbai looked at the other's pale face and shifted his gaze to the pair of blue and white porcelain bowls on the table.
"This is?"
Mother Chen: "This bowl? The child's father bought it on the roadside a few years ago. It's just a pair. It looks good, but two is too few, so it's useless. I took it out now because I'm in the hospital."
Lin Chuanbai: "Can I take a look?"
Grandma Chen Yi was a little surprised as to why he wanted to look at the bowl for no reason.
Then he handed the bowl over.
Lin Chuanbai looked at it carefully, then turned to the bottom to look at the mark on the bottom, with a look of surprise on his face: "This is blue and white porcelain fired in the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty! It looked familiar to me just now. Sure enough, a friend of mine bought a pair of similar ones before. It looks like this should be from the same series!"
Grandma Chen Yi was stunned: "Ah? From the Qing Dynasty?"
Lin Chuanbai nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it must be. I see that this bowl is complete in style and should be able to sell for a good price."
When it comes to money, Grandma Chen Yi perks up: "Can this be sold? How much can it be sold for?"
Lin Chuanbai hesitated for a moment and said, "My friend spent three hundred and fifty when he bought it. This should be about the same."
Grandma Chen Yi exclaimed: "Three hundred and fifty?!"
Chen Yi’s mother was also shocked. How could this bowl be worth so much money?
Lin Chuanbai nodded: "Yes, I wonder if you are willing to give them up? I owed him a favor before, and he will definitely be happy if I give him this pair of blue and white bowls."
Grandma Chen Yi couldn't wait: "How much are you willing to pay?" This must be sold, for so much money.
Lin Chuanbai: "I'll also pay 350, how about that?"
Grandma Chen Yi carefully picked up another bowl, looked at the words on the bottom that she couldn't understand, then looked at her daughter. Her daughter nodded, and she nodded too: "Okay!"
Lin Chuanbai took out three hundred and fifty from his pocket and handed it to her.
Grandma Chen Yi carefully handed the bowl to Lin Chuanbai.
This is three hundred and fifty.
If you fall, you will cry.
Chen Yi's mother was still a little dazed when looking at the money.
She remembered that she even scolded the child's father at that time, asking why he bought these two bowls. He could buy ten bowls with that few dollars.
As a result, this bowl was sold for three hundred and fifty yuan.
If she ever takes it out and breaks it... the more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes.
After the person left, the other beds suddenly became bustling with patients.
"Do you remember what your bowls look like? I'll go back and take a look."
"It looks familiar to me, I will go look for it."
If I find it, that would be three hundred and fifty, which is a year's salary!
After leaving the hospital, Lin Yining asked Lin Chuanbai: "Dad, is this bowl from the Qing Dynasty?"
Lin Chuanbai: "I'm not sure either."
Lin Yining exclaimed: "Dad, then you still want to give it to someone, who is your friend?"
Lin Chuanbai: "Guess?"
Lin Yining came to his senses. In fact, this friend didn’t exist, right?
Didn’t the dad just find a reason to give money to his classmates?
She had been worried about how to help the fat man.
She had her own pocket money, but if she gave it to the fat man, would he accept it without any burden? Moreover, her pocket money was not much, and she didn't know how much the surgery would cost, but she knew it would definitely not be enough.
Now that dad has taken out three hundred and fifty, that should be of some help, right?
Lin Chuanbai didn't say everything, letting Lin Yining think about it slowly.
More than three hundred yuan is nothing to them, but to the Chen family, it is a timely help.
It doesn’t matter whether the bowl is real or not, it is just there in the right place, giving him a reason.
The donation matter was proposed and approved by the class teacher, and voluntary donations were opened in the school. Those who want to donate can donate, and those who are in financial difficulties at home do not have to donate. There are no requirements.
The bulk of the money was donated by teachers. Students went home and told their parents. Some parents did not donate, some donated a small amount, and those who donated more than 50 cents were considered wealthy.
Lin Yining overdrew his pocket money for half a year and donated it.
The little fat boy was extremely happy.
After scraping together some money, his mother's medical expenses were almost paid.
With the good news, he is now back in spirits.
This disease can be cured by surgery.
Lin Yining liked his cheerful and carefree look. His previous sullen look and lack of energy in doing anything really didn't suit him.
Wang Lipan's family is also well-off. He donated more than 50 yuan this time, both in small and large amounts. This is all the pocket money he has saved for such a long time, and also includes part of the red envelope his mother gave in advance.
When he went back to smash the piggy bank, his mother was surprised. But after hearing his reason, she helped him take out all the change, gave him two red envelopes in advance, and asked him to donate them to his classmate's mother for surgery.
Just like Lin Chuanbai said, the teacher did not tell Fatty the donation list, and he didn't know how much money others donated. He had no psychological pressure and everything was exactly the same as before. If he knew how much his family had donated in total, there would definitely be some changes.
Lin Yining decided not to tell anyone and let this matter remain a secret.
But now that she has no pocket money, she pesters Lin Yihong. Most of Lin Yihong's pocket money has been donated, leaving only a little. Occasionally, he buys water when he is hot and thirsty at school, but there is no other way as they are short of money. Knowing this, Lin Chuanbai did not increase the pocket money for the two of them.
The two of them have no shortage of food and daily necessities. The family has everything, and all the money is used to do good deeds. Their parents then subsidize them from behind, which easily makes them form the idea that no matter how much they spend, their parents will subsidize them. This is not good.
Neither of them wanted it either, they were very sensible.
However, Lin Yining would take snacks more frequently than before, bringing some food from home to distribute to everyone in the class. Because of the situation in the Chen family, the little fat boy became less round.
She would bring some more dried meat to satisfy his craving.
Lin Chuanbai didn't care about this. There was still a lot of beef jerky in stock, and his daughter didn't act excessively by giving it away as gifts. The other party would even treat them in return. Although it was not meat, it was a give-and-take, and it was normal social interaction.
The twins are very sensible. They won't go out of their way to tell their classmates what they have at home or how rich they are.
One is that being rich is not a very prominent thing nowadays, and there is not as strong a materialistic atmosphere as in later generations. Many people now call those who start their business as nouveau riche, and look down on them, thinking that they will not last long. This is a very common mentality.
Of course, there are indeed many people who, as their wallets have swelled, have engaged in all kinds of nouveau riche behavior, thus lowering their reputation.
Lin Chuanbai is more confident about them.
Yu Xiangan is now running between two places, mainly in the Special Administrative Region. Yangcheng is a newly developed market, so he just needs to keep an eye on it occasionally.
She is not as busy as before, and although her stall is a little bigger, she now has someone to use.
If there is someone available, she doesn't have to run around like an iron man. Otherwise, she won't have time to go back and recognize her relatives, nor will she be able to stay for a while.
On the day off, Yu Xiangan suddenly got in the mood and the family went out to sea to go fishing. The twins were excited, and even Yu Qingshan was looking forward to it. It was so fresh.
At his age, he has fished for fish and caught turtles, but he has never gone out to sea to fish.
The Special Administrative Region is close to the sea, so there are naturally places suitable for sea fishing. There are also fishermen nearby who make a living by fishing.
The two of them set up a large parasol on a place with protruding rocks, brought out small folding stools, put out water and fruit, and started fishing.
Each person held a fishing rod and stood at a distance from each other.
Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai did not let the twins go far. If they were greedy and went into the water, it would be troublesome. Just because they could swim did not mean they would be safe. A good swimmer may drown. They were still young and did not have enough physical strength.
However, after half an hour, only Lin Yihong caught a fish weighing less than one pound, and no one else caught anything.
Yu Qingshan found it weird.
It took five people to catch such a small fish.
The bait is still there.
strangeness.
But after half an hour, my luck suddenly improved.
First, Lin Chuanbai caught a stone drum weighing more than two kilograms, then Yu Xiangan caught a small spotted sea bream weighing more than one kilogram, Lin Yining also caught a grouper weighing about two kilograms, and finally Yu Qingshan caught a big silver carp.
Everyone gained something.
Now that it's open, that's great. They plan to borrow a place from a nearby fisherman and do it on site.
If there were less, they wouldn't be able to have a meal.
After sitting for more than an hour, the two children could no longer bear it. Seeing them twisting their bodies, Yu Xiangan stood up and handed his fishing rod to Lin Chuanbai, "Come on, let's go pick up shells, shall we?"
Lin Yining took out the small bucket he had prepared and said, "Go ahead. I promised my classmates that I would help them pick up some beautiful shells to take back."
Lin Yihong was dismissive of this. Some people asked him for help, but he refused to help. What's so fun about these shells? Even if he had to pick up something, he would only pick up conchs.
Yu Xiangan took Lin Yining to pick up shells nearby. If it were in the future, there would be people selling these shells on the seashore, and they would also provide drilling services. If they bought or picked up shells locally, they could be processed into wind chimes or other things.
Now the place is deserted, with only the fishermen from nearby appearing.
There aren't many of these shells.
The two of them walked back and forth several times before they gathered together a nice bunch.
Seeing them walking around, a passerby shouted, "If you want to pick up shells, go over there."
Yu Xiangan thanked the lady, said hello to Lin Chuanbai and Yu Qingshan, and went over to pick up shells. Now Lin Yihong couldn't sit still anymore, so he stuffed his fishing rod into his grandfather's hands and ran to pick up shells, no, conches.
Sure enough, when you go around this area and walk to the other end, you will see more shells, white, gray-brown, and with natural colored stripes, of all kinds.
Compared to shells, conchs are much rarer.
It’s not like their family had been to the beach before and they already had conchs at home, but when they came here, Lin Yihong still wanted to pick up some conchs.
He wanted to find some conch shells to give to his classmates. Since they couldn't go to the beach together, Lin Yining gave shells to her best friend, so he gave nothing.
Wouldn't that mean you'll be outdone?
While picking up the trash, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance, a very familiar acquaintance. Looking at Yu Mansheng and Lu Anran, who were dressed very fashionably, and the baby in the stroller, Yu Xiangan burst out laughing and turned away.
"I won't bother you."
Yu Mansheng was wearing a white suit and a tie, which was completely different from his usual elite fashion style.
Lu Anran was wearing a pink long skirt, which was very suitable for the party. There was someone behind her taking pictures with a camera.
Is this an artistic photo shoot?
How could Yu Mansheng let her go? He didn't think anything of it before, but his sister saw it. Yu Mansheng's face was a little hot, and he pulled her, "Sister Xiaoan, did you bring them here alone? Let's take a picture together."
Lu Anran also looked a little embarrassed. This was what she insisted on. When she got older and opened the photo album and saw these, she would feel happy just thinking about it.
Lin Yining laughed and answered, "No, my dad and my grandpa are also fishing over there."
There are elders here.
Yu Mansheng laughed dryly. His family had almost finished taking photos, so he would not take photos of his family alone next. "Sister Xiaoan, look at the background. The blue sky and the sea are so beautiful. It will definitely look great when it is developed. Don't worry, I brought a lot of film today. It's enough for your family photo."
Yu Mansheng explained: "This is actually what An Ran did. She just opened a new photo studio to do wedding art photos and family reunion photos. This is our first order of business, and we are here to support our store."
Lin Yihong and Lin Yining both looked at him with a smile, "Yeah, yeah, we all believe what you said."
Yu Mansheng glared: Hey, these two little brats!
If he is not treated, he will die. How can they make fun of their elders in a roundabout way like this?
Yu Qingshan and Lin Chuanbai looked at the two of them, looking as if they were going to a party.
Yu Mansheng didn't blush anymore. He was mentally prepared and repeated what he had just said, "This is the first business of An Ran's new store. Of course I have to support my own business. Second uncle, won't you support it too? It's my nephew's wife's business."
It was not cheap to take a whole set of these photos, but he knew that his second uncle's piggy bank was very rich. Sister Xiao An gave him a salary and bonus every month. His second uncle looked simple, but that was his habit over the years. If he took out his passbook, the number on it was richer than that of many small families.
He tried his best to sell him the product: "Second Uncle, there are many styles of clothes in the photo studio, including general robes and emperor's clothes. Don't you want to wear majestic clothes and take a photo as a souvenir? These things are not taboo now, just for fun."
Yu Qingshan: "Is this really the emperor's clothes?"
Yu Mansheng: "They look alike, but there are definitely differences."
Yu Qingshan declined the yellow robe, but he was still moved by the general robe he mentioned. Which man doesn't have a dream of becoming a general?
"How much do you charge for this one?"
Yu Mansheng laughed and said, "Who are you? You are my second uncle. You helped me gain popularity. I have to thank you. And you still want to spend money?"
Yu Qingshan: "If you don't want money, I won't go. Just give me a discount, and it's free."
Lu Anran who was standing by was watching all this with a big smile on her face. When some of her classmates found out that she had married a bumpkin from the mainland, some of them were very "outspoken" and said that she would be pissed off in the future because the people there were backward and conservative in their thinking, and that the relatives and friends who took advantage of her were not enough and would drive her crazy. But that was the reality.
The reason why she and her mother-in-law don't get along well is because of their concepts. She doesn't take advantage of them to subsidize her other children. She is an old lady who knows what she is doing. She also likes cleanliness and has a nanny at home, so her life is not depressing.
As for his relatives, he has to be sensible when dealing with them. If others don't have sense of propriety, then it doesn't matter much because the relationship is already distant.
Every family has a few excellent relatives, including hers.
Now it's just a photo shoot, and the other party is not willing to take advantage. It's very comfortable to get along with such a person. Not to mention giving it away for free, she would be happy even if you give it to her.
Not only Yu Qingshan, but also Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan were moved by this artistic photo.
They didn't take wedding photos when they got married because the conditions didn't exist at that time. Now that the country is more open, more and more Western things are coming in, and Western-style weddings are slowly finding a market in this continent.
She wanted to make up for her regrets.
Which girl has not thought about wearing a white wedding dress and saying "I do" in front of everyone?
Hold one on your wedding anniversary.
Lin Yining's preference is very straightforward and pure, "I want to wear a princess dress, aunt, do you have a princess dress?"
"Yes, of course."
Lu Anran replicated a photo studio in Hong Kong, which cost a lot of money to invest in. It covers a large area and has many backgrounds and an entire clothing city.
Covers most types of clothing.
"I specially hired the photographer from the photo studio. He has taken photos of actress Lin before and has very good skills."
Lin Yining had seen her movie and liked it very much. Hearing her say this, he was very surprised: "Really? Really?"
Lu Anran laughed, "It's true and it's false. Don't have too high expectations. He is just a substitute by chance. He and his master are substitutes."
Lin Yining was already satisfied: "That's great too, you saw it with your own eyes, right? I also want to see it with my own eyes, but I don't have the chance. When I grow up, I will definitely go."
Yu Xiangan on the other end had already found a good position: "Come, take a picture of us here."
A family of four stood on the reef, smiling at the camera together, and the picture was frozen.
The woman started taking pictures without stopping until she had used up all the film they brought. Then it was time to eat, and they said they wanted to go to a nearby house and borrow the stove so they could cook fish on the spot.
Lu Anran and Yu Mansheng followed.
People who live by the sea all have traces of being blown by the sea breeze for a long time. This side is not very wealthy, and it seems that the fishermen have a good harvest because the sea is rich in resources, and they can often catch a lot of seafood with just one cast of the fishing net. However, this has to take into account the problem of returning empty-handed due to a typhoon, and the problem of fishermen having no other source of income.
There are very few fertile fields by the sea, and it is impossible to grow crops. Fishermen rely on fishing to exchange for food. Part of the money is used to buy food, and part is used for family spending. If they are unlucky for a while and don't get anything from going out to sea, the family will be in trouble.
In addition to these problems, there is another one. It is very dangerous to go out to sea. Accidents where the boats go out and never come back happen almost every once in a while. It is men who go out to sea. Once something happens, the pillars of the family are gone. If the younger generations in the family do not grow up, then they just have to endure the days. This kind of situation has never been unheard of in the fishing village.
Now Yu Xiangan and his group can pay to borrow the stove here. The owner of the house has cleaned the kitchen in advance and let them use it.
Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai were in the kitchen, and the twins were attracted by the fishing net hanging outside the house.
It’s so big! If it is cast down, how many fish can be caught in the net?
The two of them walked around and watched for a while, then went into the house. Lin Yining saw the scene on the ground and squinted her eyes. The child who was a few years younger than her was holding something that seemed to be pearls?
She walked over curiously, squatted down, and asked her: "What are you playing with? Is this a pearl?"
