As if remembering something, Yuan Shitou took out ten more ten-yuan bills and handed them to Uncle Lin.
"Uncle Lin, could you please prepare some more things for me? I'll bring them back when I come down."
Uncle Lin didn't reach out to borrow money, but instead asked, "What do you need to prepare?"
Yuan Shitou looked blank and thought for a moment.
Still don't know what to buy?
He grinned foolishly at Uncle Lin and said, "Uncle Lin, I don't know what to buy either."
Just buy what Xiaoxiao and the child need.
Uncle Lin smiled and took the money: "Okay, then I'll go back and ask your aunt."
"I'll go buy you anything you need."
He didn't mention the amount of money involved, saying that he would refund any overpayment or charge any underpayment when the goods were purchased.
Fan Tiesheng also handed over 100 yuan.
"Uncle Lin, could you please buy some for me as well?"
Uncle Lin accepted Fan Tiesheng's money and nodded.
"Okay, if you remember to prepare anything else, I'll buy it for you too."
"You're giving so much money, you must be buying a lot of things."
Uncle Lin reminded him.
The two thanked him and then prepared to leave.
Uncle Lin called them back: "By the way, Stone."
The old doctor asked you, "Is there anything else he needs from there?"
If you have any, bring some down for him.
Yuan Shitou leaned closer to Uncle Lin and whispered, "Uncle Lin, do you want some ginseng and lingzhi?"
Oh, and we also found monkey head mushrooms and silver ear fungus on the mountain.
If he wants some, we'll go up the mountain to get it.
Uncle Lin rolled his eyes at him: "Of course you should take such a good thing. Why didn't you bring it down the mountain?"
If you bring him down, I'll go get him.
Yuan Shitou shook his head: "I didn't bring it down. I was thinking of leaving it at home, just in case Xiaoxiao needs it."
Uncle Lin nodded: "Yes, we should keep them, especially if there are elderly people, pregnant women, or children in the family. We must keep some."
This thing can be a lifesaver when needed.
Yuan Shitou nodded, agreeing with Uncle Lin's statement.
If Xiao Xiao knew, she would definitely roll her eyes at Yuan Shitou to death.
They have several ginseng roots in their family.
There were also dozens of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms.
They're all different sizes anyway.
She can't possibly eat that much.
Now the group of people had really left. Uncle Lin watched them walk away before closing the door.
When he returned, Aunt Lin was also there. Upon seeing him, she asked:
"They're all gone?"
Uncle Lin nodded: "They're gone. They were all pitiful but honest kids."
Let's help as much as we can.
Aunt Lin glared at him: "What do you mean by helping if you can? They gave us quite a lot."
Uncle Lin laughed and said, "Yes, these kids, we've told them not to give anything, but they always bring things with them every time they come down."
It made me feel really embarrassed.
Aunt Lin rolled her eyes at him: "You're still embarrassed?"
Little Xiao is really pregnant! How many months pregnant is she?
Uncle Lin pulled over a stool and sat down. They were all wide awake now, so they decided to chat.
Xiaoxiao is already more than three months pregnant.
Shi Tou gave me 100 yuan and asked me to prepare some things for Xiao Xiao and the children.
They will come down again in the twelfth lunar month and take it back with them.
Could you help me see what I need?
I don't really understand either.
There's also Tiesheng, whose baby boy is six months old and only drinks milk, refusing to eat anything else.
And they were twins.
They also gave me 100 yuan to buy things.
Aunt Lin glanced at the money he took out and nodded:
"I'll make a list for you in a bit, writing down everything you need. You can just buy it according to that list."
Uncle Lin naturally nodded and agreed.
Aunt Lin got up and poured Uncle Lin a bowl of tea.
"Xiaoxiao had a hard life before, but now that she's married to Shitou, Shitou's family treats her well."
She can be considered to have married into a blessed family.
Although they live in the mountains, they live better than some families in the city.
She has no other relatives here.
She's close to us, so just treat her like your own niece.
This girl is a good one, worth befriending.
Uncle Lin nodded: "I know, Zihao repeatedly told me this before he left."
Let me take good care of her.
Look at me, I didn't get to look after anything, but I got so many good things from others.
Aunt Lin nodded: "It's good that you know, but you should still remember other people's stories more often."
Don't apply your business acumen to them.
Hunting deep in the mountains and gathering wild produce to sell isn't easy for them either.
The two talked and drank water as they waited for dawn.
Meanwhile, Yuan Shitou and his group soon arrived at the mountain.
It was still in the place where they often rested.
A fire was lit, and a group of people sat around it, eating the steamed buns that Uncle Lin had given them and talking.
Everyone marveled at how Yuan Shitou was able to know such a good boss as Uncle Lin.
A man, while eating a steamed bun, asked:
"Stone, what is your relationship with Uncle Lin?"
I sensed that he was especially good to you all, particularly to your wife.
"He hasn't seen her, yet he's asking all sorts of questions."
After taking a large bite of his steamed bun and swallowing it, Yuan Shitou finally answered:
"Uncle Lin was introduced to us by a little brother."
When his brother left, he asked Uncle Lin to take care of Xiao Xiao.
Uncle Lin is really kind; he always brings us things when we come down the mountain.
"I'll help if there's anything."
“Xiaoxiao has an older brother, why hasn’t he come up the mountain to visit him?”
Is he her biological brother?
"No, it seems to be an older brother with the same surname. He came here to do some business and ran into Xiaoxiao."
I specifically asked Uncle Lin to take good care of them.
The man who asked the question had never been down the mountain before.
This is my first time coming down here, so I'm a bit curious.
Another person who had never been down the mountain was also asking:
"Why did we go up the mountain at night? Why didn't we wander around at the foot of the mountain and buy some things?"
This time, Yuan Shitou didn't answer him; it was Fan Tiesheng who did.
Even if you wanted to buy it, you couldn't.
Down the mountain, only state-owned businesses sell things, and you need receipts.
The rest were not for sale, and even the one or two shops that were open were completely empty.
"Is that so? Then state-owned enterprises must have everything, right?"
"Of course they have everything. Otherwise, how could they have bankrupted all the other vendors?"
The person who had spoken earlier answered him.
Seeing that someone was about to ask more questions, the village chief's eldest son, Amu, said:
"Stop asking, why ask so many questions?"
Neither Shi Tou nor Tie Sheng knew.
It's really chaotic down the mountain right now. If you dare to wander around aimlessly, they might arrest you as a thief.
Those who have never been down the mountain won't believe it:
"Amu, don't scare us."
We didn't do anything, we were just walking on the street, and we got arrested.
They thought we were three-year-olds who could be scared.
Amu had an expression that said, "Believe it or not."
Fan Tiechui said, "It's true."
The last time we came down the mountain, we saw some people carrying guns.
They say it's called something like "public security".
That gun was incredibly powerful.
I heard that if something the size of a peanut shoots out of it, it can kill you.
Fan Tiechui was not a talkative person, but what he said was very convincing.
So no one asked any more questions and they continued to rest.
