The brother and sister did not go down the mountain until their backpacks were filled with wild vegetables.
This trip up the mountain was very fruitful, and Lin Jingshu was in a good mood. After selling the ginseng, she finally had her first small fortune.
Before she even got the money, she had already started thinking about buying gifts for everyone in the family.
After being here for a while, she truly felt the love and care of her family.
The original owner spent money lavishly and had no sense of saving money.
She is different. She earns more and saves more.
The things in the system are too conspicuous, so I dare not sell them. If I want to make money, I can only think of other ways.
Although there is systematic help, it is not a long-term solution.
In her previous life, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had no worries about food and clothing. She started drawing in elementary school, and after college, she went to a top art college abroad for further studies. After returning to China, she continued her old profession and became a cartoonist.
Suddenly I came to the 1970s, and the only skills I had were English and painting.
She inquired indirectly and found out that the only things that could be drawn in this era were comic strips. She had recently conceived a piece but had not sent it out yet.
If the manuscript is approved, it means I have a job and I won't live off my savings.
Instead of being supported by the Lin family, Lin Jingshu wanted to be independent.
After all, as the saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will fall. Your own abilities are your solid backing.
Wild flowers were blooming all over the road. Lin Jingshu was very happy to see them. She picked them as she walked and completed a simple bouquet of flowers.
Lin Mu found two sweet sticks, and the brother and sister ate them as they walked home.
They chatted and laughed all the way until they entered the village, then they slightly stopped smiling. At this time, the sun was setting and more and more people were outside.
Lin Jingshu checked the two people's backpacks and felt relieved only after confirming that there was nothing unusual from the outside.
I'm not afraid of ordinary wild vegetables and mushrooms, but the pheasants among them are treasures.
This was a collectivist era, where people would hand in whatever they found. People wouldn't be jealous of wild vegetables and mushrooms, which were everywhere in the mountains. But if they found meat or fish, anyone who dared not hand it in would be labeled a big hat and be spitted at.
If their pheasants were discovered, they would suffer a great loss.
The small treasury that Lin Jingshu had been thinking about might also have to fly away.
Many people knew about the farce that happened in the Lin family some time ago.
It has been the mainstream topic of discussion for so many days. When Lin Jingshu and Lin Mu entered the village, they clearly felt that more people were looking at them.
The brother and sister adjusted their expressions and walked forward with their heads held high.
"Jingshu, are you going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables?" Someone greeted Lin Jingshu.
Lin Mu is a tall and strong man, and he always has a cold face except in front of his family. Even though he is good-looking, not many people in the team greet him.
But Lin Jingshu is different. The girl is pretty and even if she doesn't speak, she is willing to chat with her just standing there.
The girl is holding flowers, she is more beautiful than the flowers.
Lin Jingshu had a generous smile on her face. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had experienced countless big scenes and was not at all nervous even when being stared at by so many strangers.
Afraid that they would continue to ask questions, Lin Jingshu had to pretend to be shy, said goodbye in a hurry, and took Lin Mu home.
Several female comrades looked at Lin Jingshu's graceful back. Her waist was so thin that they wished they could hold it in their hands. When she walked, and the breeze blew, she looked particularly stylish.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Lin set her sights on Lin Jingshu. She is indeed pretty. Even if she stays at home and doesn't have to work, she can still have a few more meals just by watching.
There is a saying: Beauty is a feast for the eyes!
After jumping into the river, people seemed to be much more friendly, no longer like before when they never left the house. The old women liked them all and if there was no suitable young man at home, they would go and find a wife for him.
"The prettiest girl in our Shuimogou Brigade is none other than Jingshu. Look at how she looks! She's prettier than any of the educated youth from the city."
"My parents were not bad when they were young. Like their parents, like their children. Look at the three children of the captain's family. None of them are ugly."
"That's true."
Some of them were from this brigade, while others were from nearby brigades. They were about the same age as Lin Yongkang and Ding Xiangzhi, and they all knew them.
They had a passionate love affair when they were young, and it is still the same after so many years of marriage. The old couple looks no different from when they were in love when they were young.
Everyone has a different destiny.
As they were talking, they saw a figure approaching from a distance. He was wrapped up very tightly in the hot summer.
"Who is this? Aren't you afraid of getting prickly heat in the middle of summer?"
Someone nearby whispered, "It was Lin Lao Si's daughter, Qiaoqiao. I passed by that day and saw her with red pimples all over her face."
"Could it be some kind of dirty disease? Let's get away from it quickly."
The voice pretended to be low, but in fact it was not obstructed.
When Lin Qiaoqiao heard what they said, she bit her lower lip, her eyes turned red, and she turned around and ran home quickly in anger.
She gritted her teeth and spent money to go to the hospital, but the doctor was helpless. She didn't even dare to look in the mirror when she woke up every day, for fear that her condition would get worse.
I didn't dare to respond to Zheng Guoqiang's invitation, for fear that he would be scared by my appearance.
I was able to keep him here because of this skin. If he sees me, everything will be in vain.
Mrs. Lin hid at home for several days and didn't dare to go out. Other people's every move was like a frightened bird to her.
When I go out occasionally, I have to change into new clothes before I dare to go out.
Even so, others still walked around her.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she cursed behind her back. We all had a hard life. Not to mention falling into a cesspool, even if there was shit in our pants, we would just throw the things away and continue wearing them. Now we are so clean.
Thinking that it was all Lin Jingshu's fault that he was in this state, he was furious and waited at the door with his hands behind his back.
She saw the brother and sister going up the mountain, and she didn't believe that she couldn't wait.
God did not let her down, and she saw Lin Jingshu from a distance.
Lin Mu was also there, and she couldn't help but frown. Why was this kid still there?
Although he had not been close to her since childhood, they were family after all, and as a junior he did not dare to attack her, so she thought about it and walked over, calling Lin Jingshu enthusiastically.
"Jingshu, did you go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables?"
Seeing the person approaching, he glanced at the backpack and saw that it was full of wild vegetables. Even if it was used to feed pigs, they wouldn't be able to eat so many.
Could there be something good hidden underneath?
The three children of the eldest family have been very smart since they were young, and who knows, they might really be able to do such a thing.
It’s a pity that Mrs. Lin is not tall, and she has shrunk even more as she gets older. She is only 1.5 meters tall and she stands on tiptoe, looking at Lin Jingshu’s backpack with difficulty.
【Host, the scumbag wants to peek. 】
[Don't worry, the things are with my second brother, she definitely wouldn't dare.]
Lin Jingshu rolled her eyes at Mrs. Lin. Don’t think you don’t know what she’s thinking. She’s at least 1.67 meters tall. Little old woman, get out of here.
"Brother, let's go home."
Lin Jingshu swung her braid and walked in front with a proud and confident look.
Lin Mu didn't even look at Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was completely ignored by the brother and sister. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, "You uneducated child, I don't know how your parents raised you."
