The fifth day of living in the new home.
Although they didn't pick any herbs when they went out yesterday, they did harvest a lot of fruits and vegetables from the villagers. However, compared to these fruits and vegetables, Liu thought that what their family needed more now was money.
If Lin Anru wanted to go that way again, the speed at which she would spend money would be the same as the speed at which she would lose it.
"Let's go, let's make up for what we didn't pick yesterday."
Liu waved her hand and set off in a hurry with her son.
Then he came back in a hurry.
Of course, the empty baskets they took out were full when they came back. Not only that, Liu and Lin Boyu were holding seeds given to them enthusiastically by the villagers.
Villager: It’s not practical to deliver vegetables every day. You should be self-sufficient and go back to grow them.
Liu was very depressed because she couldn't go out to collect herbs to earn money. Even the baskets full of fruits and vegetables couldn't make her happy.
"Everyone is just being kind and worried that we won't have food to eat."
"But if this goes on, we won't be able to collect herbs. They weren't like this before." Liu complained.
"Hey! Isn't this because we have a good daughter?"
The news of Li Aniu's son's death became known to everyone, and someone spread rumors to make Lin Shiyu, the cheap doctor, seem very popular, so Lin Shiyu became the target of flattery in Yamada Village.
Lin Shiyu basically stays at home busy and doesn't go out, so the villagers don't want to disturb her. Liu, who goes out every day, becomes the object of their flattery. She is the doctor's mother, so there is not much difference between flattering her and flattering Lin Shiyu.
Anyway, they are just some free fruits and vegetables that we can’t finish eating at home. Why not give them away to establish a good relationship with a doctor?
"Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, I'm just a little depressed. This silver is waving at me outside, but I can't pick it up..."
Lin Anru: ...
When did you become so obsessed with money?
"Don't go out for the next few days. Once they calm down, this situation won't happen again."
Even if fruits and vegetables are free, you can't give them away every day. They are all grown with great effort. If you can't finish them all, you still have chickens and ducks at home waiting to eat them.
Aniu's dead son is a time-limited warning. As time goes by and the enthusiasm fades, the villagers will do what they have to do.
"I hope so!"
What could Liu do? Unless she told others about her herbs, the villagers would still think her family was so poor that they were eating wild vegetables.
The depressed Liu had no choice but to vent her emotions on these dishes and continue with her great task of storing vegetables.
Since there was no need to collect herbs, Liu would not ask her son to help and would send him out to play with his friends.
"Sister Yu, do you want to go out and play with your brother?"
"No, there are still some herbs that haven't been processed yet. Let's go out tomorrow when we have time."
The sun is particularly strong today. Lin Shiyu doesn't want to go out and run around the world with her brother and his group. The heat is secondary. Getting tanned is what she doesn't want to see.
As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide a hundred flaws. Which woman doesn’t like to look better?
Liu did not force her to go out. After all, only her daughter could handle these herbs, and she, as a mother, had not yet learned this skill.
After Lin Shiyu processed the herbs, she came over to help Liu. These dishes would be eaten by her in the future, so how could she not contribute at all?
The sixth day after moving into the new home.
Before dawn, Lin Anru carried the processed herbs and copied books and set off for the county town.
After finishing her housework, Liu felt bored, so she thought for a moment and took a hoe to the backyard to cultivate the remaining land.
The villagers sent her a lot of seeds, and she planned to plant them.
After Lin Boyu and Lin Shiyu had enough sleep and drink, they happily went to find their friends after Liu's repeated instructions.
Oh, go find Lin Boyu’s friend. Lin Shiyu is still a poor little girl without any friends in this world.
Lin Boyu’s friends have all seen Lin Shiyu. They saw her when she fell into the water.
At that time, Lin Boyu took her to play with these children.
Lin Shiyu fell into the water and narrowly escaped death. They have always felt guilty about this. If they had not been pestering Lin Boyu to play with him at that time, Lin Boyu would not have failed to notice that his sister fell into the water.
So this time, when Lin Shiyu came out, several people surrounded her and asked her to walk in the middle, absolutely preventing her from getting into trouble again.
"Shall we go dig up some borers later?" one of the children suggested.
"OK!"
"OK!"
…
The others agreed, saying that as long as they didn't go to the river, they didn't care.
"What is a butt-boring bug?" Lin Shiyu asked curiously.
Several children gathered around her and started chattering and explaining.
To sum up, it is a small insect that lives in the ground. When someone digs it out, the little insect will use its butt to drill into the ground, so it got this name.
Children like to dig them out and put them in the palm of their hands. The bugs will drill into their palms and make them itchy, which is really fun.
The group talked as they walked, and soon they came to a small hill.
"Here, here, dig quickly, there must be something here."
The child, nicknamed Xiaopang, pointed to a small hole on the ground and said excitedly.
The others quickly gathered around and started digging with a small wooden stick.
"Sister Boyu, look at this, it's a butt bug." The little fat boy held up the thing in his hand in front of Lin Shiyu like he was presenting a treasure.
Lin Shiyu took a look and said, "Is this a sand bull? It must be very valuable."
"What cow?"
"Can it be sold?"
"What is that?"
“How much can it be sold for?”
…
Lin Shiyu just said one sentence, which led to countless questions from the children.
The most frequently asked question is whether this thing can be sold and how much it can be sold for. On the contrary, not many people pay attention to the name of the insect.
"It can be sold, but I don't know how much it can be sold for. I have to take it to the county to ask."
"Ah? We're going to the county town."
"Then forget it!"
Several people immediately lost interest. Except for visiting relatives, they had never even left the village, let alone going to a place as far away as the county town.
"Doesn't Dad go to the county town often? Ask him to help us ask." Lin Boyu said.
"Okay, then you can dig up more and ask my dad to take it to see if he can sell it."
"Okay, we'll dig as much as you want."
They came here today just to dig this little thing for fun. It would be best if they could make money, but it wouldn't be a loss if they couldn't.
They dug and dug until they had filled the bamboo tube to the brim before returning home.
"Dad just went to the county town today and probably won't go tomorrow. These insects will die in a few days. Will anyone collect them?" Lin Boyu asked.
"This one has to be taken back and processed before someone else collects it."
Everyone is going to die.
