Zhang Changnian narrowed his eyes: "You went up the mountain alone again?"
Ye Weiwei: ……
How could I forget this?
However, her mind worked quickly, and she shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's from the place where I dug wild ginseng last time. There are still several there. I was afraid that if I dug up too many, I wouldn't have anywhere to put them, so I left them there. Anyway, that place is very secluded, and no one else can find it."
Zhang Changnian was overjoyed: "Really? What years are they all from?"
Ye Weiwei thought to herself, "I can decide what year it is." However, she still pretended to think and said after a moment, "There are a few trees that are about the same age as the one I dug up, and some that are a little younger. There are at least five or six trees that are a hundred years old."
"So many!" Even Zhang Changnian, who was used to seeing the world, couldn't help but be excited.
Ye Weiwei nodded vigorously.
“Okay, then find some time to take us up the mountain to dig up all those ginseng.” Zhang Changnian said happily, “With these ginseng, we can do a lot of things. What else do you like? Your uncle will get it for you.”
Ye Weiwei shook her head: "I don't lack anything now, Uncle can take it and use it."
Those ginseng roots were definitely more valuable in the hands of her uncle than in hers.
"Then Uncle can handle it himself."
We can't let his precious niece suffer any loss.
"By the way, those pills you got for me last time, did you put ginseng in them?"
He didn't try the life-saving pills, but those pills were really effective. After taking them for a while, he felt that the hidden ailments left by his previous injuries had improved a lot, and his physical strength and energy were more abundant than before, as if he had become more than ten years younger.
Ye Weiwei pretended not to notice the probing in her uncle's words, "Well, those pills are made with ginseng from the mountain, using an ancestral recipe. What do you think of their effectiveness, Uncle?"
“Very good.” As soon as Zhang Changnian heard that it was a family recipe, he knew what it was all about.
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Then I'll make another batch for my uncle after we dig up the ginseng. I guarantee it will make his health excellent."
"Alright! Then Uncle will have to rely entirely on Weiwei."
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
Originally, Auntie-in-law wanted Ye Weiwei to sleep here, and she would share a kang (heated brick bed) with Ye Weiwei so that the three of them could sleep together. They could move all the things from the educated youth settlement over tomorrow. However, Ye Weiwei said she wanted to go back to the educated youth settlement. She had already told her friends there that she would be going back that night so that her uncle, auntie-in-law, and cousin could get some rest.
So her two cousins took Ye Weiwei back to the educated youth settlement.
After Ye Weiwei left, Bai Wenshan smiled at her husband and said, "Didn't you say that Huo Xiao is a good guy? Weiwei married him, so what do you have to worry about?"
Zhang Chang snorted, thinking to himself, "What's so good about it? I can't even keep an eye on people!"
That little girl Weiwei must have secretly run up the mountain more than once, trying to fool him, but he managed to get the truth out of her with just a few words!
Bai Wenshan thought he was just being sentimental because he couldn't bear to see his niece get married, and she couldn't help but find it amusing.
How old are you? You're still acting like a little kid!
Xu Meijun saw that Ye Weiwei's two cousins were both handsome and talented, with their phoenix eyes darting around.
After Ye Weiwei's two cousins left, she moved closer to Ye Weiwei and asked, "Ye Weiwei, are all your family members this good-looking?"
Seeing her budding romance, Ye Weiwei half-jokingly said, "Of course! Just look at my face! But don't even think about hitting on my cousin, he's already taken."
Xu Meijun was both embarrassed and angry. She glared at Ye Weiwei resentfully, "Hmph! Who cares! I don't want to cause trouble for myself by having a sister-in-law like you compete for my affections!"
After saying that, she crawled into bed and ignored everyone.
Chen Jiali stuck out her tongue and lay down as well.
Ye Weiwei tidied up a bit and then lay down to sleep.
After everyone in the dormitory fell asleep, she quietly slipped up the mountain, found the place where ginseng grew at the entrance of the cave, and used her supernatural power to accelerate the growth of ginseng. She accelerated the growth of four ginseng plants that were about two hundred years old, and then accelerated the growth of six more that were between one hundred and two hundred years old. She also accelerated the growth of the remaining few plants, the youngest of which were forty or fifty years old, before she stopped.
After concealing the area and cleaning up the traces, she secretly went down the mountain under the cover of night and returned to the educated youth settlement to continue sleeping.
Sure enough, the next day, after her aunt and two cousins came to help her move her things, her uncle called Huo Xiao over and asked Ye Weiwei to take them up the mountain to dig for ginseng, saying to others that they were going hunting.
The two older cousins were very interested in going hunting in the mountains. The second cousin even said he wanted to compete with Huo Xiao to see who could hunt more prey.
As a result, when Ye Weiwei led them up the mountain, they didn't even see a single prey, let alone hunt.
Just as the second cousin was feeling frustrated and disappointed, he suddenly noticed a change in the scenery before him, and he saw a small piece of ginseng on the ground!
"This...this..."
My second cousin was so shocked he couldn't speak.
He came from a family of doctors, so even if he wasn't interested in practicing medicine, he still knew some basic herbs.
Seeing her second cousin rubbing his eyes vigorously, looking incredulous, Ye Weiwei couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at my uncle and my usually steady cousin, they weren't much better off.
Her husband, Huo Xiao, on the other hand, seemed much more composed.
It took several people three or four hours to dig out all the ginseng intact, and then they carefully wrapped it in grass leaves and put it into their baskets.
On the way down the mountain, Ye Weiwei deliberately took a less direct route than the one that led up the mountain. She then used her mental powers to search for a wild boar, a few pheasants and rabbits, and had them hunt them and carry them back.
My second cousin caught two rabbits and a pheasant, one more prey than Huo Xiao, and he was extremely proud of himself.
“Little sister, no wonder everyone in the village calls you a lucky charm! When we take you hunting in the mountains, you seem to know exactly where the prey is beforehand.”
Ye Weiwei: ……
Second cousin, you're absolutely right!
Unfortunately, she simply couldn't admit to it.
"I also find it quite strange, it's just that feeling, I can't quite explain it."
Zhang Changnian mistakenly believed that the lucky charm was the reason for Ye Weiwei's change, so he did not investigate further.
Having such predictive means to avoid harm and gain benefit has put him at ease.
No wonder the little girl always likes to run up the mountain.
However, he still reminded Ye Weiwei and the other three, "This kind of thing is best kept to ourselves. Don't talk about it carelessly, or you'll get into trouble."
They all nodded solemnly and wrote it down.
Fortunately, their new house was located at the back of the village, and with Ye Weiwei leading the way to avoid crowds, they were not discovered by anyone along the way.
When the group returned home, Bai Wenshan was overjoyed to see that they had hunted a large wild boar and brought back so many pheasants and rabbits. She happily went to boil water for slaughtering the boar.
Ye Weiwei, Huo Xiao, their uncle, and their two cousins went back to their room to take out the ginseng and prepare to distribute the spoils.
