Gu Qinghuan led the two children while walking and giving them ideological education.

"When you're out and people ask you what you eat and drink, what do you two say?"

Beibei shook his mushroom head and answered proudly: "We eat rice, white flour steamed buns, and dumplings and noodles."

Dabao quickly tried to cover her mouth.

"Don't say that."

"Why? These are all things we have eaten before." Beibei looked at her brother in confusion.

Gu Qinghuan also asked with interest: "Dabao, why?"

"Dad said that greed is the key, and wealth should not be shown to others. If we eat so well, those who are not as good as us will feel resentful and jealous of us, and will inevitably cause trouble," Dabao explained in a serious tone.

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that Xu Huaian had taught children these things, and she felt quite gratified.

"Dabao is right, wealth should not be exposed, and things should be accomplished in secrecy.

Don't show off your wealth. This teaches us not to show off our wealth easily. When we show off too much, it may arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of others.

It's like on a cold winter day, we wear thick cotton jackets and enjoy the warmth, while those who shiver in the cold wind will feel resentful.

Our showing off will only make them feel cold and even arouse their ill will.

The same is true for food. When we eat delicious white rice, those who eat bran and vegetables will be jealous and bring us unnecessary trouble.

Things are accomplished through secrecy, which teaches us to learn to keep our secrets.

There are always things we don't want others to know. Only when we know them ourselves can we better grasp opportunities and avoid unnecessary interference and obstacles.

Behind success, there are always many unknown plans and efforts.

If the secrets are leaked, it is likely to ruin the project and bring disaster.”

Both children listened very attentively.

“So, in the future, when others ask about your family’s food, clothing and other expenses, remember to say it’s worse. We have to keep quiet and make a fortune.” Gu Qinghuan concluded.

"Well, make a fortune in silence!" the two children shouted in unison.

The mother and her two children walked into the mountains, chatting and laughing all the way.

Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to go too deep with the two children, so they found a small path they had never walked on and walked along it.

Pick some hazel mushrooms and other mushrooms if you come across them.

It's quite leisurely and relaxing.

Walking into a forest, Gu Qinghuan saw a dense cluster of small red fruits.

If I'm not mistaken, this is... Schisandra chinensis, right?

In order to verify it, Gu Qinghuan went closer to study it and found that it was indeed Schisandra chinensis.

Schisandra chinensis has many pharmacological effects, including antitussive, expectorant, sedative, liver protection, vasodilation, regulation of myocardial cell metabolism, regulation of immune function, anti-ulcer, and anti-aging.

But the people in the village didn't know much about medicinal herbs and didn't know the medicinal value of Schisandra chinensis, so no one picked them.

Another idea to make money suddenly popped up in Gu Qinghuan's mind.

If you sell fresh wild Schisandra chinensis, it would cost at least 50 cents per pound, right?

If all of this large Schisandra chinensis were sold, it would weigh at least 300 kilograms.

That's about one or two hundred yuan.

Although it is a bit hard, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it still hurts.

"Dabao, Beibei, come here and take a look. This red fruit is called Schisandra chinensis, a kind of medicinal herb. Let's pick it and sell it. It's more valuable than wild vegetables."

The two children's eyes lit up. They didn't expect that the red fruits they often saw could actually make money.

"Mom, are these red fruits more profitable than wild vegetables? Then let's pick more and sell them. I know several places where these red fruits can be found." Dabao shouted happily.

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Be careful if someone hears us, we won't be able to make any money."

Schisandra chinensis is not worth much these days, and it is useless for others to take it.

But if she puts it on a vending machine and sells it to people in future generations, it will be worth a lot.

But be careful.

Beibei looked at Gu Qinghuan with admiration: "Mom, you are so amazing. You know everything."

She, her brother and other people in the village did not know that this fruit was not only a medicinal herb, but also could make money.

“This is because my mother read a lot of books and met a lot of people and things.

These are all very simple. As long as you study hard, you will know everything in the future." Gu Qinghuan planted a seed of learning in the hearts of the two children.

Dabao looked at Gu Qinghuan in surprise: "Mom, are we going to learn knowledge too?"

Gu Qinghuan didn't expect Dabao to be so surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason.

In Xujiatun, very few children go to school. Most of them have to work for the family, and the half-grown children do the work of adults.

Only families with a little savings are willing to send their children to school in town.

For example, several children in the old Xu family have received education, and even Xu Meiling has finished junior high school. So she thinks she is an educated person and looks down on the men in the village. She chose Chen Jianghe, who is educated and good-looking.

But obviously, they didn't take her seriously at all, but for the sake of the branch secretary, they just dealt with her.

The two children obviously had not expected that Gu Qinghuan would pay for their schooling, and they were a little surprised for a moment.

"Of course you can study! But the semester is already halfway through, so don't go yet.

Winter is coming and it will be cold. Your grandmother and I will teach you two at home first, and after the New Year, we will send you to the town to study." Gu Qinghuan had already made plans in his mind.

Zhong Zijun is a university teacher, and she herself graduated from a 985 university, so it is no problem for her to enlighten these two little kids.

If she doesn't consider her child's more systematic learning in school, she can teach him at home by herself.

Dabao felt warm inside: "Mom, we will definitely study hard."

Beibei doesn’t understand the benefits of studying yet. She only knows that if her brother is happy, then she is happy too.

Having decided on studying, the three of them were ready to do something big and make a lot of money.

The two children were short, so they stood under the tree and picked the fruits low down, while Gu Qinghuan picked those high up.

She broke a stick in her hand and used it to pull down the vines if they were too high.

Soon he had picked a sack full of them.

Gu Qinghuan also secretly smuggled a lot of things into the space, so these don’t need to be carried back.

After filling a sack, she prepared to take these down first and let the two children continue picking here. This area was actually not far from home and was not deep in the mountains, so there was no danger.

"Dabao, Beibei, you two continue to pick the fruits into the basket while Mommy carries them down and back up. You just wait patiently and don't run around. If there's any movement, climb up this tree. Be careful."

"Okay, Mom, we got it. It's not dangerous here. Go ahead."

Dabao often takes his sister up the mountain. He is familiar with the area at the foot of the mountain, but he has never been deep in the mountains.

Gu Qinghuan went down the mountain carrying a sack of Schisandra chinensis.

After returning home, he put down the Schisandra chinensis, quickly drank a pot of spiritual spring water, and hurried up the mountain again.

When she reached the edge of the mountain, she met a beautiful woman on the road.

This person is none other than the educated youth Lin Xiaomeng, also known as her sister-in-law in name only, the heroine in the book.
