The three of them stayed on the mountain for a while and continued walking forward, but they did not find the third ginseng.
Gu Xiangbei looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting a little dark. He said, "Mr. Zhou, Xiao Qiao, it's getting dark. Let's go down the mountain first."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou and Jiang Xiaoqiao did not insist on going any further. They left Gu Xiangbei in the lead and went down the mountain together.
When I returned to the foot of the mountain, I saw Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin walking towards this direction.
"Xiao Qiao!"
"mother?!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao was a little surprised to see Gu Jinhua appear here. She hurried forward and met up with Gu Jinhua.
"Mom, why are you and Dad here?" Gu Xiangbei asked.
Gu Jinhua glanced at him and said, "It's already dark, and you haven't taken Xiao Qiao and Zhou Lao down the mountain yet. How can I not be anxious at home?"
After being scolded by his mother, Gu Xiangbei looked up at the sky. It was okay because he was paying attention to the time.
At this moment, the sky is just beginning to darken, but it is not quite dark.
After arguing with Gu Xiangbei, Gu Jinhua looked Jiang Xiaoqiao up and down to see if she was injured in any way, then she turned her gaze to Old Zhou who was standing beside her.
She said, "Mr. Zhou, please come to my house for dinner tonight. You've worked hard today, and I've made a delicious meal for you."
Everyone in the family is grateful for Mr. Zhou’s snow lotus.
In addition, Mr. Zhou also went up the mountain with them to collect herbs today. No matter what the reason was, the Gu family was grateful.
Gu Jinhua thought of Jiang Xiaoqiao's job at the clinic, which included taking care of Mr. Zhou's three meals a day, and planned to take over this job starting tonight.
The four sons of the Gu family are all capable. Gu Jinhua saved a lot of money just from the money Gu Xiangbei sent back when he was serving in the army.
Therefore, the little old lady was not stingy at all when it came to food or treating people who were kind and generous.
Mr. Zhou wanted to refuse, but was finally lured into agreeing by Gu Jinhua's "good meal" and the fact that someone would take him back to the clinic after the meal.
Ahem, he had been picking herbs in the mountains for half the afternoon and was tired. He decided to go to Gu's house for a hot meal.
When they arrived at the Gu family yard, Mr. Zhou raised his eyebrows when he saw Gu Weiguo was there.
"Captain, you are here too?" said Zhou Laodao.
"Doctor Zhou, you are here too?" Gu Weiguo said.
Gu Jinhua laughed and said, "Brother, Mr. Zhou is having dinner at home tonight. You can stay and eat too. We always cook for you."
At worst, we can just let Xiao Si eat less. We can still squeeze out enough food for one person.
In the end, the whole family sat together and talked about Jiang Xiaoqiao and the others' trip up the mountain in the afternoon.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I was lucky this afternoon, so it wasn't a complete loss."
Gu Jinhua nodded after hearing what Jiang Xiaoqiao said. She also knew that ginseng was not easy to find, and she was about to speak to comfort her.
Then Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "We have found two ginseng plants. Let's go take a look later."
"What, two plants?" Gu Jinhua asked in surprise.
Zhou Laodao: "Yes, the two ginseng plants were found by Xiao Qiao."
Gu Lei looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and said admiringly: "Mom, you are so amazing!"
After Gu Lei finished praising, he made a request.
"Mom, can I go up the mountain with you tomorrow?"
He also wants to dig ginseng, dig lots of ginseng!
Gu Lei knew that the medicine his elder brother was going to drink required a lot of ginseng, and he also wanted to contribute.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "It's dangerous in the mountains. Your father can only protect me and your Grandpa Zhou. If you're added, he won't be able to protect you well."
Gu Lei pursed his lips and said, "Dad is a little weak. When I grow up, I will definitely be able to take many of you into the mountains with me!"
This made everyone present laugh. He Zhaodi said, "Okay, Auntie will wait for us Shitou to grow up and take a group of us into the mountains."
Gu Lei puffed out his chest and said, "Aunt, wait until I grow up!"
Gu Zhen pursed his lips and looked at everyone, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
Before he could speak, Jiang Xiaoqiao's voice rang out.
"I want to try growing ginseng at home, and I'll have to rely on you and mom to help take care of it at home."
"Grow ginseng?" Gu Weiguo was the first to ask, "Can it be done?"
The eyes of the others all fell on Jiang Xiaoqiao, and Gu Zhen swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I'm 30% sure. The weather here is quite suitable for ginseng growth."
"I dug up all the soil around the two ginseng plants this afternoon. We can try to use this soil to continue planting and grow small ginseng plants."
Can ginseng be cultivated?
Don’t these things grow wild in the mountains?
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I think it can be done. Medicinal herbs can be grown. Ginseng is also a medicinal herb, so it must be possible to grow it as well. We just need to start experimenting and find a way."
"Okay." Gu Xiangbei said, "Let's plant it."
Gu Jinhua also said: "Okay, let's try it."
Because they were trying to grow ginseng, the group was absent-minded while eating. They just clapped their chopsticks against their bowls and finished their dinner in a hurry.
Then, a group of people followed Jiang Xiaoqiao closely, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing her ginseng planting.
Gu Xiangbei wanted to take over the work from Jiang Xiaoqiao, but Jiang Xiaoqiao refused and said, "Let me try first."
At first, Jiang Xiaoqiao just wanted to use one ginseng plant as a sample, and then look for more ginseng to plant the next day or the day after tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, everyone supported her and let Jiang Xiaoqiao plant two ginseng plants.
After planting the ginseng, Gu Xiangbei specially made a few sturdy baskets to keep the chickens in his home.
Gu Jinhua agreed and said, "Old Four is really thoughtful. We need to keep a close eye on the chickens at home. We can't let them wander around and peck around."
Gu Weimin looked at the two bare ginseng plants in the vast open space in front of him without any obstruction, and felt uneasy.
Several grown men built a bamboo fence on the spot to remind everyone in the family not to walk around the area casually in the future.
Ginseng is grown here!
If they accidentally step on it due to carelessness, they will regret it to death.
After finishing all this, it was completely dark.
Gu Xiangbei saw the two elders, Gu Weiguo and Old Zhou, out, while the others did what they had to do, washed up, and went back to the house.
Gu Zhen and Gu Lei stayed behind, while Gu Yuting was taken away by Gu Jinhua to take a bath.
Gu Zhen looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and said seriously: "Mom, thank you!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao smiled: "Gu Zhen, you've already said thank you many times."
The child had been thanking her since morning.
Gu Zhen said: "I have to say that I am very grateful for what my mother has done for me and for all she has done for me. Gratitude should be expressed out loud, and actions should also be taken to repay it."
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at her hands that were slightly stained with mud, and pinched the child's face that was completely devoid of flesh.
"If you want to thank me, then fatten yourself up. Your face is so skinny that it's just bones."
Gu Zhen said: "Mom, it doesn't matter even if it can't be cured later."
