Dinner started soon. The only food was at the table of the little brother. The dinner was quite good. The staple food was noodles, a mixture of white and black flour. It tasted much better than noodles made of pure coarse grains.

There were a variety of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, but the kid's table was eating very fiercely, so Guangdan rolled up his sleeves and joined the battle.

The older kids were more restrained when they knew there were guests, but the younger ones couldn't control themselves at all. They just mingled among the little kids, laughing and joking, not considering themselves outsiders at all.

Because of this, he became familiar with all the other kids. The third kid even said he wanted to write a letter to Guangdan. Guangdan thought about his dog-like typing and avoided the topic vaguely.

In general, my great-uncle's family is much better off than the rich families in their Linjia Village. Whether it is my great-uncle himself or the children in his family, their behavior and vision are not comparable to those of the people in Linjia Village. Thinking of this, Guangdan became more determined to buy a house in the capital city.

Isn’t there the story of Meng’s mother moving three times?

Ahem, that's a bit exaggerated, but a good environment is still of great help to Goudan and Goumao in their studies. At least to some extent, Goudan's study process is not as tiring as in the original book.

After dinner, it was getting dark. The group bowed again and left. Guangdan, on the other hand, was pulled by a group of children and was reluctant to leave.

On the way back to the inn, Lin Xiaoniu couldn't help but envy his great-uncle's house. He felt that it was so grand to live in such a big yard!

"It's good to live in the capital! See, the food and supplies here are incomparable to ours!" Lin Xiaoniu said directly.

"That's because my uncle's sons are hardworking and able to make money. Otherwise, life there would be even harder than in our country." Fang Cuihua spoke the truth bluntly.

Several of my great-uncle's sons are craftsmen, some run small shops, and some even farm in the suburbs of the city. The family earns money to support themselves.

Like the people in Linjia Village, the environment is not very good, but the children in the family are still sent to school at a young age. There is no way to help those who have no talent for studying, but if they have some talent, the family will grit their teeth and support them.

Even though the Lin family only had one Jinshi in their family, and none of them had ever been a high-ranking official or rich and powerful, it seemed that people had engraved the importance of studying in their bones, because that was how their ancestors changed their destiny.

They all knew that studying was the only chance to change their destiny, so these descendants followed their ancestors' example and sold everything they had to support their children's education.

When he returned to the inn, Uncle Fang and Uncle Hammer had not come back yet. Guangdan felt tired after a day's work, so he simply washed up and went to look for his mother.

The medium-sized private room is much better than the long shop. Guangdan looked at it carefully and felt envious. Hey, he also wanted to sleep alone. He had never slept in a private room alone!!!

"What's wrong? Why are you grinning?" Fang Cuihua asked as she poured herself a cup of tea.

"Come over and discuss this. Our mission tomorrow morning is to buy seeds, mainly herb seeds. I also want to buy some chili seeds. After buying these, let's go to the dental shop. I want to see if there are any mules. I also want to buy two people who know how to grow herbs."

Guangdan was still frowning in thought when he heard Fang Cuihua's voice.

"Everything else is easy, but it may be difficult to find someone to buy the herbs you want. Even if there are some, the price may be extremely expensive. To be honest, people may not look down on us as their host." Fang Cuihua bluntly discouraged Guangdan's enthusiasm.

"That's not a solution. We have to try. Dad is the only one growing herbs at home, so how can we do that? Besides, we don't know enough about how to grow herbs. If it doesn't work, we can go to a few more dental clinics. Oh, yes, we have to go to the bookstores as well."

As he spoke, Guangdan frowned even deeper, and said with a bitter face: "There are still a lot of things to do. I am worried that there is not enough time. I estimate that the goods on the ox cart will take at most four days. I don't think they will be all gone. We have to hurry up, otherwise it will be over after the heavy snow!"

"Let's go out early tomorrow morning. I'll give some silver to Xiaoniu. He will sell the goods in the morning and go see if there is anything suitable in the afternoon. We will split into two groups. If it doesn't work, let Hammer accompany him. You can let your uncle sell the goods alone in the afternoon. Let's deal with the seeds and Goudan's issues tomorrow first, and then we will go to the dental shop." Fang Cuihua made the decision directly.

"Okay, the guy who runs the grocery store in my great-uncle's family said he wants to talk to my uncle. I think my uncle will bring some stuff over tomorrow. Maybe he also has a channel to purchase goods. Let my uncle do his best tomorrow!"

Guangdan was actually a little worried. He wanted to be with Lin Xiaoniu, but he had too many things to do. He had no choice but to watch his uncle do it alone!

After the mother and son discussed the itinerary, they went to sleep separately. Guangdan went to bed early, so he didn't even know when his two uncles would come back. He slept soundly until dawn.

But when I woke up in the morning, I could still smell alcohol. I could imagine how much these two drank last night! !

At daybreak, the group set off in ox carts and mule carts. Today, only one ox cart from the charcoal department went to the South Gate Market, and the remaining one went directly to the alley where my great-uncle's house was.

Lin Xiaoniu also drove a mule cart today, and rented one less stall. After arriving early and setting up the stall, everyone started eating biscuits for breakfast.

Guangdan and Fang Cuihua waited until dawn to go to the shop they had inquired about yesterday to buy seeds. When Lin Xiaoniu learned that the mother and son were going to abandon him today, he had a bad feeling.

While others were not paying attention, Lin Xiaoniu came over cautiously and muttered, "Sister-in-law, we really can't buy any more, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoniu's sincere expression, Fang Cuihua gently reached out and patted his head and said, "Your sister-in-law knows this."

Lin Xiaoniu: Well, it’s the same as not saying anything, it’s all in vain!

Lin Xiaoniu was still full of energy when selling goods in the morning, but it started to drizzle after a while in the morning. It seemed to be a drizzle, but the temperature dropped suddenly, and Guangdan was wrapped into a ball by Fang Cuihua.

"After putting on this raincoat, I feel like I can't even walk anymore!" Guangdan complained as he looked at the raincoat prepared in advance on the mule cart.

"This is better than getting wet in the rain. Let's wait until the rain stops before going over." Fang Cuihua was worried that Guangdan would catch a cold and became a little worried. If the child caught a cold and got sick at this time, the consequences would be unpredictable.
