Tomorrow, Du Lianqiao will be going to work with them, while Wang Yuqiao can stay home for two more days to prepare before going to work as well.
The next day, the eldest and second eldest sons of the Du family helped with chores and looked after their younger brother at home. Du Yuhan also started making quilts with her adoptive mother.
Choose fabric with more serious defects to make quilts. It's very convenient to make quilts by spreading them out on a large kang (heated brick bed).
The fabric is laid out, and then cotton is stuffed in layer by layer. After the cotton batting is in place, the quilt lining is laid on top, and then several rows are sewn on the quilt with needle and thread, and the four sides of the quilt are also sewn in place. The quilt is then finished.
Making quilts is easier than making cotton-padded clothes, and it's even faster when the mother and daughter work together. They made two quilts in one day. They only had so much cotton, enough to make just two thick quilts.
The mother and daughter also took apart and washed the cotton quilts that were already in the house. They had someone fluff the cotton batting again, and since it was relatively good, they added another layer of the remaining new cotton and made a new one.
Two particularly old cotton quilts were used as quilts on the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room.
With plenty of fabric left over, Du Yuhan and her adoptive mother made several new outfits for the family. The boys, in particular, were growing very quickly and needed new clothes.
Du Yuhan had her adoptive mother put away the remaining fabric. She decided to send some more cotton back when she returned home, and make a few more quilts so that they wouldn't be cold and need enough blankets in the winter.
After tidying up the house, Wang Yuqiao went to work.
The village's large canteen was also built as part of the plan, and from then on, the whole village ate together, no longer needing to cook at home.
Seeing that her adoptive parents' family life was back on track, Du Yuhan said goodbye to the Du family and prepared to leave.
She's been out for quite some time now, and she still needs to go into the mountains to gather herbs, so she can't stay any longer.
Du Lianqiao and his wife knew that their daughter couldn't live with them forever; she would eventually have to return to the Han family. No matter how reluctant they were, they could only watch their daughter leave with heavy hearts.
Du Yuhan repeatedly instructed her adoptive parents to write to her if anything happened to them.
The three Du brothers were reluctant to see their eldest sister leave, but they were too small and weak to change anything.
Under the reluctant gazes of the Du family, Du Yuhan boarded the carriage that Liang Shouzhen had sent her.
The three Du brothers chased the carriage for a long time before finally stopping after Du Yuhan repeatedly persuaded them to.
The three Du brothers were all sobbing uncontrollably. Wang Yuqiao also cried, and Du Lianqiao kept wiping away tears.
Seeing how kind this family was to Du Yuhan, Liang Shouzhen decided to take good care of the Du family in the future.
Du Yuhan rode in Liang Shouzhen's carriage directly to the city, since they were closer to the city.
Du Yuhan wanted to invite Liang Shouzhen to a state-run restaurant for a meal, but Liang Shouzhen refused no matter what and insisted on rushing back.
Having no other choice, Du Yuhan bought Liang Shouzhen a large bag of meat buns for him to eat on the road.
Watching Liang Shouzhen drive the carriage back, Du Yuhan did not take the carriage back to Luancheng. Instead, she took a public bus and left the city, getting off at the place closest to the mountains.
She walked into the mountains.
After entering the mountains, Du Yuhan went into her spatial dimension and cooked a big meal at the villa to treat herself. After eating and drinking her fill, she took a nap, and then, fully armed, left the spatial dimension and continued deeper into the mountains.
At this time, the weather in Northeast China has already entered autumn, and it will get cold in another month.
It's harvest season in Northeast China now, and everything is golden. After the crops in the fields are harvested, the villagers will organize themselves to go into the mountains to collect wild produce.
Du Yuhan wanted to take advantage of the time before the farmers went into the mountains to harvest some things. However, she would go deep into the mountains and try not to compete with the local farmers for their produce.
She didn't want to run into villagers going into the mountains when she came out, so she planned to stay in the mountains for more than ten days before coming out.
Du Yuhan moved quickly, holding a delicate bow and arrow in her hand. She already had it in her space, and it would come in handy this time when she went into the mountains.
Her physical condition is much better than before. She has grown much taller and is much stronger. Now she can use this kind of large bow without any problems.
Walking through the dense forest, Du Yuhan held a wooden stick in one hand and pushed aside the grass in front of her as she walked forward, doing so to scare away the snakes hiding in the grass.
Along the way, Du Yuhan found many herbs, including quite a few precious ones, and she accepted them all without hesitation whenever she came across them.
She collected the older herbs, intending to process them directly for medicinal use, and dug up the younger ones to plant on the mountains in her spatial dimension. There was plenty of space to grow herbs on the mountains in her spatial dimension.
Du Yuhan doesn't overlook mountain produce either, picking any good mushrooms, wood ear fungus, or other wild fruits she finds.
When you encounter prey, just take action. Once you've caught it, store it in your spatial storage to eat later, since it won't spoil in the storage anyway.
Du Yuhan walked and stopped frequently until she reached the remote depths of the mountains.
The pristine resources deep in the mountains are well preserved, and there are even more mountain delicacies. Du Yuhan has a great harvest; sometimes, she picks so many mushrooms that her hands get tired.
She would also collect some of the more delicious mushroom and wood ear fungus spawn into her space, allowing them to reproduce and grow on the mountains within.
Du Yuhan knew that her trip was not easy, and she hoped to gain as much as possible.
The chances of encountering precious medicinal herbs are much greater in the deep mountains, such as ginseng, lingzhi, gastrodia, schisandra, and gentian.
She ventured into a remote, rarely visited mountain area, where the artifacts remained largely untouched. Therefore, Du Yuhan's gains were substantial.
The deeper into the mountains you go, the older the herbs become, and Du Yuhan always picks the older ones.
She encountered several old ginseng plants, the most famous medicinal herb in Northeast China. Moreover, in several places, several ginseng plants grew together, just of different ages.
Du Yuhan guessed that these ginseng roots represented the grandfather, son, and grandson. The smaller ginseng roots were likely grown from seeds dropped by the larger ginseng roots.
Du Yuhan selected the older ginseng roots and transplanted them into the space.
Du Yuhan estimated that the oldest lesson was a thousand years old, and she planned to keep it for future use.
It's true that the mountains of Northeast China are full of treasures. Du Yuhan reaped a bountiful harvest in the deep mountains and was extremely busy.
She hunted quite a few animals during her few days in the mountains, including pheasants, rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, and sika deer. Pheasants and rabbits were her most frequent catches.
Every part of a deer is valuable—deer blood, antlers, deer penis, and so on. Du Yuhan only considered deer as medicinal materials. However, she didn't hunt many, only taking a few. Once the ranch in her spatial dimension is activated, she will soon be able to raise sika deer.
On the fifth day of Du Yuhan's trip into the mountains, she encountered a small herd of wild boars, a total of nine boars, including both large and small ones.
Seeing the large wild boar leading several piglets in search of food, Du Yuhan decided to take down the group of wild boars.
