The Legend of the Farm Girl

Yunfang felt refreshed when she woke up in the morning. The knowledge she learned about motherwort yesterday was really firmly imprinted in her mind.

After boiling water, Yunfang prepared breakfast for her mother and herself and brought it to her mother's bedside. After the two of them had breakfast together, Yunfang said to her mother, "Mom, I'm going to the field to dig up some wild vegetables that I often eat."

It is now May, the season when wild vegetables are abundant. Yunfang's mother also knows that there is not much food at home, so she agreed to let Yunfang go to dig wild vegetables.

Yunfang arrived at the edge of the field. The wild vegetables beside the fields in the village could be dug up at will, no matter whose land they belonged to. The wild vegetables were bitter and astringent, and only people in real difficulty would eat them.

Yunfang learned from her study last night that motherwort grows easily beside fields, and she could also dig some wild vegetables by the way.

In the farmland in May, the adults in the village were busy working. They wielded hoes and tilled the land, and their sweat dripped on the land, reflecting their hard work.

The air in the fields is filled with the fragrance of soil, and the breeze brings bursts of fresh air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

There were some children playing by the field. Yunfang also saw Aunt Wang’s two children, eight-year-old Dafu and six-year-old Erfu, playing with Yunfeng.

After Yunfeng spotted Yunfang, he quickly rushed towards her, shouting loudly, "Sister, sister, sister."

Yunfang was also very happy to see her younger brother. She went forward and hugged Yunfeng. The two siblings were intimate for a while.

Yunfeng pouted and said to Yunfang: "Sister, I have been staying at Dafu's house for a long time. When will you and mom come to pick me up? I miss you so much!"

"Xiaofeng, it's almost time. Sister will be able to take you home in two days."

When Yunfeng heard that it would take a few more days, she pouted and was about to burst into tears.

When Dafu saw Yunfeng was about to cry, he came to the side of the two siblings and said to Yunfang, "Sister Fang'er, you brought a basket and tools. Are you here to dig wild vegetables? Erfu, Xiaofeng and I will help you."

Yunfang looked at Dafu with gratitude. Dafu, like Aunt Wang, was a thoughtful person. He changed the subject of Yunfeng not being able to go home to prevent Yunfeng from crying by the field.

"Okay, thank you then."

When Yunfeng heard that they were going to help their sister with the work, they forgot their previous sadness, and the four children immediately started working. As soon as they arrived at the field, Yunfang found motherwort, which was growing very well. Yunfang was very happy, and she waved her small hoe to collect it according to the method she learned yesterday.

During the collection process, Yunfang would collect wild vegetables when she saw them. She was busy for half an hour. Dafu and Erfu dug a lot of wild vegetables and gave them to Yunfang. Yunfeng also dug a lot of things, but most of them were weeds.

The one who gained the most was Yunfang. She picked 33 motherwort plants, which made her very happy.

When they were about to go home, Yunfang said to Yunfeng, "Xiaofeng, Mom will be well soon, and then we will come to pick you up. You have to listen to Aunt Wang and Dafu, okay?"

Yunfeng nodded with tears in his eyes and said to Yunfang, "I understand, sister, you and mother should come earlier."

After saying goodbye to the three people, Yunfang returned home, washed the wild vegetables she had just dug, and kept the soil on the roots of the freshly dug motherwort, which Yunfang placed in a cool place at home.

After finishing all these, Yunfang began to clean the house, washed and dried her younger brother's urine and feces, washed her mother's soiled clothes, and then made her mother's lunch. After eating lunch with her mother, Yunfang was finally able to rest for a while. She couldn't wait to continue learning how to prepare and use motherwort.

Her mother and younger brother had already fallen asleep in bed. Yunfang lay on her own bed and fell asleep with anticipation.

The learning assistance system is online again.

"Hello, host, would you like to continue the last tutorial?"

"continue"

"Okay, next, please learn how to prepare motherwort. Please watch the video."

After watching the detailed video explanation, Yunfang learned how to prepare Motherwort, including removing impurities such as residual roots and thick stems, slightly soaking the lower half, pouring water on the upper half, moistening it thoroughly, cutting it, and drying it.

Overall, the preparation of motherwort is relatively simple. After Yunfang memorized the process, the system gave her an assessment, and Yunfang passed it quickly.

Finally, Yunfang learned how to use Motherwort, which is the simplest way, just boil it into juice and drink it.

"The host has learned all the knowledge about motherwort. Would you like to choose the next thing to learn?"

"I won't learn it now. I need to make the motherwort I picked this morning. I'll continue learning in the evening!"

"Received the host's wishes, the system is on standby."

After the system went silent, Yunfang forced herself to wake up. This time, she studied in the system for less than half an hour and did not go to sleep. She thought that she would be more tired than in the morning after waking up, just like having a nightmare. She would feel very tired after waking up. Unexpectedly, she recovered a lot. It seems that the system will not affect her rest, and even make her body recover better. This is really magical!

After waking up, Yunfang immediately rushed to the place where the motherwort was placed, and prepared it according to the method she had learned. The conditions required for the final drying were rather difficult, so Yunfang took out ten stalks and dried them with the fire on the stove. This method of drying was fast but the effect was not good. Yunfang put the rest in the sun, using natural wind and sunlight to dry them. This drying method was slow but the effect was very good.

Drying motherwort on the stove required Yunfang to constantly turn the herbs and add fire to the stove. Fortunately, Yunfang was used to doing housework, and during this time she also cooked dinner for her mother.

By the evening, all ten roots of motherwort were cooked, and those that were drying in the yard had already been brought into the house by Yunfang.

After having dinner with her mother, Yunfang brought the boiled motherwort juice to her mother and said to her, "Mom, this is a good medicine for your health. Drink it!"

Yun Fangniang asked in confusion: "What kind of medicinal juice is this? Where did you get the medicinal materials and how did you make the medicinal juice?"

Yunfang replied calmly: "Mother, this is motherwort juice. I picked it, prepared it, and made it myself. Mother, drink it first. I will explain to you how I know about motherwort later."

After hearing Yunfang's words and out of trust in Yunfang, Yunfang's mother drank the medicine in one gulp.
