My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou looked at Gu Lili, who looked confident, and the clouds of worry in their hearts seemed to dissipate.

Somehow, they all felt that their sister had a way to solve the problem.

At this time, several people's attention was drawn to the pork elbow on the table.

Gu Lili had been stewing the pork over low heat for the entire morning.

The pig skin is stewed until it is soft and sticky, and the soup becomes thick, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

To relieve the greasiness, Gu Lili made a plate of cold-mixed Houttuynia cordata.

Gu Lili was so addicted to the food that she even felt a little greedy.

After they had lunch, Gu Lili decided to go up the mountain to take a look.

It’s a good time to “find” my sweet potatoes and chayote.

Gu Erniu was worried, so he followed Gu Lili.

Although this mountain cast a great shadow on Gu Erniu, he still chose to follow Gu Lili and protect her.

Gu Sigou stayed at home to raise the chickens and ducklings and to keep Gu Huanhuan company.

The news that there is a tiger in the mountain has spread in the village, and they dare not go to the mountain recently.

When Aunt Zhang saw the brother and sister going up the mountain, she wanted to speak up to stop them.

But when he thought that the tiger was their "father", he held back his words of dissuasion.

"Erniu, go over there and see if there are any wild vegetables or something!" Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu.

In order to prevent encountering snakes and the like again, Gu Lili bought two sickles. Each of them held one, which could help them clear the way and defend themselves when encountering danger.

If you encounter wild vegetables or something, you can also use it to dig.

Gu Erniu did not doubt Gu Lili. After all, it was not the first time or the second time that his sister would take out things he had never seen before.

The two of them acted separately, and after a while, Gu Lili started calling Gu Erniu.

"Erniu, come here quickly, I found something good!" Gu Lili shouted.

Gu Erniu heard Gu Lili's cry and hurried over to Gu Lili.

Gu Lili had already dug a lot of soil in front of her, revealing long sweet potatoes.

Gu Lili was pretending to dig outside, and it seemed like there was quite a lot.

"Sister, what is this?" Gu Erniu asked curiously.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "This is sweet potato! Dad brought it back when he came back from the border. Have you forgotten?"

Gu Erniu scratched his head and carefully searched his mind for memories about this thing, but he couldn't find it after thinking for a long time.

"Maybe I was still young at that time. Why don't I have any memory of it at all?" Gu Erniu said in a daze.

These things never happened, how could he have any impression of them?

Anyway, there was no way Gu Erniu would ask Gu Jingsheng, so Gu Lili was not afraid.

Seeing Gu Lili digging, Gu Erniu also squatted down to help.

This sweet potato is quite easy to dig. It doesn't feel like it grew out of the soil, but rather was buried by someone.

Gu Erniu asked as he dug, "Sister, what can this thing do?"

"This is good stuff. It can be eaten as a meal. It tastes better than wild vegetables and can fill your stomach!" Gu Lili explained with a smile.

When he heard that he could fill his stomach, Gu Erniu worked even harder.

Looking at Gu Erniu digging sweet potatoes, Gu Lili walked to the side again.

Going to search for some other things.

After a while, Gu Lili came to Gu Erniu carrying a half-sized basket of sweet potatoes and more than ten chayote melons.

Gu Erniu had almost dug up all the sweet potatoes in the soil.

"Sister, what is this?" Gu Erniu asked, pointing at the bitter melon in the basket.

Gu Lili said without blinking, "This is Buddha's hand melon, which is also a good thing to fill your stomach. Erniu, maybe we really have the blessing of our father. These two things were brought back by my father before. My father said that these things grow on the border, but I didn't expect that we can also find them on our mountain!"

After listening to what Gu Erniu said, he also felt that Gu Lili was right.

I was secretly thinking in my heart that next time I meet a big tiger, I must kowtow to him a few times!

The reason why Gu Lili sold the things so quickly was that she was worried that a big tiger would appear.

The two of them picked up the sweet potatoes from the ground, and Gu Lili quickly took Gu Erniu home.

After returning home, Gu Lili asked Gu Erniu to build the rack for the chayote, and then she took a few chayote and walked towards the village.

She gave one to each family that had helped her before.

The bitter melons that Gu Lili bought had all sprouted and could be planted right away.

Gu Lili specifically told everyone how to plant it before returning home.

He said the same thing to villager Gu Lili as he did to Gu Erniu.

The villagers also believed in Gu Lili and planted the crops according to the method Gu Lili taught them.

Anyway, this thing doesn't take up any space and can be eaten after growing it, so it's really good.

When he returned home, Gu Erniu had already planted the bitter melon according to the method Gu Lili taught him.

"Erniu, carry some bitter melons and sweet potatoes to your grandparents' house and teach them how to grow them." Gu Lili said to Gu Erniu with a smile.

Gu Erniu nodded, then took a backpack and picked some big and good sweet potatoes and put them in the basket. He also took two bitter melons and put them in. He then carried the basket on his back and prepared to go out.

Gu Sigou looked at Gu Lili eagerly and asked, "Sister, can I go with my second brother?"

The work in the fields was done, and enough wild vegetables were picked for the chicks and ducklings.

When Gu Sigou heard that Gu Erniu was going to his grandparents' house, he was already eager to go.

Gu Lili smiled and nodded, "Okay. By the way, don't tell them about Gu Chuan's situation, so as not to make them worry!"

The two brothers went to Lijia Village one after the other.

Gu Lili asked Gu Huanhuan to embroider the flowers by herself. She bought a piece of paper from the mall and prepared to draw a sketch of the house they were going to build.

She plans to build a bigger house so that everyone can have their own room.

Toilets are also very necessary!

There is also a kitchen and a bathroom.

She looked at the door and saw the place that the village head had told her about.

She had already thought about it. She would build it next to the stream and add some steps.

This makes washing clothes and vegetables very convenient.

Since no one is buying there anyway, Gu Lili thought, why not just buy some more land.

In this way, you can grow grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. next to your home. How convenient.

Then buy ten acres first.

One acre is used to build a house, and the rest is used for farming!

Gu Lili also planned a cellar and a kang for the house.

Holding the blueprint, Gu Lili went to the village head's house.

Now that I have enough money to make a living, I naturally have to build a house quickly.

When they arrived at the village head's house, Gu Lili handed the drawings in her hand to the village head and told him about her plan.

"What! You want to build a green brick and tile house!" After hearing Gu Lili's plan, everyone's voice became louder.
