"This house is indeed very clean. I can do the rest myself. It's still early now, let's go up the mountain to collect herbs!" Chen Yintang suggested.
Zeng Wenjuan thought that she didn't have time to go to the fields to do farm work today, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go home and carry the backpack, and we'll meet at the foot of the mountain."
"Okay, I'll tidy up the room and come over later. I know the location. It's right up there where you go to work, right?" Chen Yintang pointed in a direction and said to Zeng Wenjuan.
Zeng Wenjuan nodded and left the house. When she came outside, she heard the noise of children not far away. Zeng Wenjuan seemed to hear Goudan's voice and walked over.
"This car should be mine. You don't deserve to play with these fun things. Grandma said that all the good things in the house are mine, and you have no share." Dabao reached out to snatch the remote control car from Goudan's hand and shouted loudly.
"This is not yours. My grandfather bought it for me. It belongs to me alone. Let it go quickly. Otherwise, I will beat you up." During this period, Goudan was no longer as cowardly as before. When he encountered unfair things, he would raise his fist.
Dabao was not afraid at all and just squatted down and bumped into him. Goudan sat on the ground. After all, he had only been raised for half a month and his body was still relatively thin, not as fat as Dabao. He was simply the grandchild of his grandparents' dreams.
The remote control car was in Dabao's hands. He lowered his head to check how to play with the remote control car. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and snatched the remote control car from Dabao's hand.
Dabao looked up and saw his aunt holding a remote control car. He sat on the ground and rolled around, kicking his feet. His shoes almost flew onto Zeng Wenjuan's face.
"That's on my remote control, give it back to me now. Otherwise I'll tell grandma to beat you to death. You're a money loser! The son you gave birth to is also a jinx. You all have to listen to me, or I'll beat you to death."
Zeng Wenjuan ignored Dabao and helped Goudan up. She brushed the dust off him and asked gently, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
When Goudan saw his mother, he immediately stopped looking aggrieved and started crying while hugging Zeng Wenjuan's thighs: "That's my toy. Dabao took my toy, which was given to me by my grandfather."
Ergou also stepped forward and said, "Aunt, I just saw it. It was Dabao who took Goudan's toy. I wanted to help him get it back, but he asked others to stop me and Shitou."
"What do you mean Goudan's toys? All his things are mine. My grandma said that all the good things in the house should be mine. How can a jinx like Goudan have so many fun things?" Dabao saw that no one stood on his side. He stood up arrogantly.
Zeng Wenjuan stuffed the remote control car back into Goudan's hands, stopped the children behind her, and said to Dabao, "Now our two families have separated. Our things belong to ours. If you dare to steal them, I will beat you until you run around searching for them. I beat you before, have you forgotten?"
When Zeng Wenjuan reminded him of this, Dabao instantly thought of Zeng Wenjuan's fierce look before, and burst into tears again: "Wait until I go back to find grandma, and let her beat you to death." After saying that, he ran home crying.
"Mom, have I caused trouble for you?" After Goudan saw Dabao running away, he came out and said to Zeng Wenjuan.
Zeng Wenjuan took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped Goudan's face, and gently touched his head: "No, it was Dabao's fault. It was wrong for him to take your toy. Let's go home and go up the mountain to dig herbs later."
"Okay, take Brother Shitou and Ergou with me. I can recognize several kinds of herbs now. I'll ask Brother Shitou and the others to recognize them later." Goudan has also been reading books with Zeng Wenjuan. Although he can't read, he has a very good memory and can remember pictures quickly after just one glance.
"Okay, let's go together. Let's go back home to get the backpack first." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile. She watched the three children walking in front, playing with the remote control car and running excitedly. Zeng Wenjuan just controlled the car from behind, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes stop, sometimes rush.
After returning home, Zeng Wenjuan carried a bag on her back, took a clay pot, some dry food, and a sickle, and went up the mountain with her three children.
Most of the children in the village are like this. They play wildly in the village every day and only go home for dinner in the evening. They basically don’t go home for lunch. Anyway, they pick some wild fruits and grass outside to eat, so the children will not be hungry.
"Sister-in-law Jianguo, I thought there was nothing much to do in the clinic, so I followed you up the mountain to collect herbs. You don't mind, do you?" Su Jinsong said humbly with a smile when he saw several people coming.
Zeng Wenjuan shook her head. This mountain is not private property, it is shared by everyone. Whoever wants to go up the mountain can go, no one can stop them.
There were three children jumping and chatting on the road. Time passed quickly and they arrived at the front mountain in no time.
"Then let's go separately now. If we stay together, it will be inconvenient to find some herbs. The three children can just follow me." Zeng Wenjuan suggested to the other two.
"Okay, let's shout to each other from time to time. Respond when you hear it, and don't go too far. This mountain is quite dangerous. If you go to the back mountain, there will probably be tigers. This mountain is so dense." Chen Yintang is an old Chinese medicine doctor and said very experiencedly.
Zeng Wenjuan took her three children to a hill in the east. When the children got to the top of the hill, they saw many shiny, crystal-like stones.
"Mom, this stone is so beautiful. I want to pick it up and put it at home." Goudan said to Zeng Wenjuan while holding a vampire red crystal stone.
Zeng Wenjuan noticed that the children were interested in the stones, so she nodded and agreed: "You guys can play here, and mom will be over there. Pick herbs, and call me if you need anything. Don't run around, there are tigers on the mountain, they will eat people."
"I understand, Mom." Goudan nodded obediently, and the other two children also nodded in agreement.
Zeng Wenjuan's golden finger had been flickering with light when she climbed up the hill. She knew that there must be a very precious medicinal material or some rare treasure nearby.
Following the route revealed by the golden finger, she walked to the deepest part of the light and stopped. She searched the surface but didn't find any medicinal herbs, so there must be some rare treasures.
