Although the Lin family had few fields, they still had to work for four or five days on the paddy fields and dry land before they could rest.

The spring days are getting warmer, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes.

After lying in his room for a whole winter, Mr. Lin can finally come out to smell the breeze and bask in the sun.

He was lying on a bamboo lounge chair, covered with a thin quilt, with three dolls around his knees and his son and daughter-in-law surrounding him.

Bathing in the morning light and smelling the fragrance of grass, Old Man Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the floating clouds in the blue sky above his head, with a smile on his face.

"Come, have a sip of tea." Mrs. Lin came out of the kitchen, holding a tea bowl in her hand. "This is tea made from the grass grown at home. During the busiest days of spring planting, we drink this tea every day. After drinking it, we feel much more energetic."

Her husband was not in good health, so she didn't dare to give him anything to eat easily. She made this tea only after she tried it and found it was good for him, so she dared to let her husband drink some.

Zhang Cui'e now particularly admires this tea, "Dad, this tea is really good! In previous years, after a few days of busy work in spring sowing, my sister-in-law and I were always so tired that we couldn't straighten our backs. We would ache all over our bodies if we moved, and we would have to lie down for at least three or two days to recover. Guess what happened this time? Hey! After drinking this tea, I felt really refreshed! I am still tired after a busy day, but I don't feel like I'm dying, and there is no pain in my waist, arms, and legs! I sleep well and get up early! I am full of energy all day long!"

After that, she turned Lin Erhe's head over, pinched the man's face and turned it left and right to show her father-in-law, "Look at Erhe. In previous years, he would lose weight after working in the fields. Look at him now, can you tell? He didn't lose weight! His chin is even rounder!"

Lin Erhe: "..."Is he a model?

The rest of the people burst into laughter.

Old Man Lin was also amused and laughed. He took the tea and said, "Since you all say so, I have to taste it carefully to see if it is really that rare."

He didn't miss any of the big and small things happening at home even though he was lying in bed.

He already knew about the strange grass, but he had never experienced its wonder. Now was a good opportunity to give it a try.

As the tea bowl came close to his eyes, a faint fragrance floated into his nose. Old man Lin was stunned for a moment and took a sip of tea from the edge of the bowl.

It tastes sweet and refreshing when it enters the throat.

The tea flows down the throat into the stomach like a clear spring water washing away the internal organs, or like a sweet rain shower into the desert, making the whole body suddenly feel light. Then the lingering fragrance of the spring water and the sweet rain spreads to the limbs and bones, and the tense bones and meridians of the whole body relax unconsciously.

Feeling comfortable all over.

"Indeed, it is a good tea that can relieve fatigue, relieve tiredness and refresh the mind. No, it should be called medicinal tea." Old man Lin said with a smile.

Even the dad confirmed it, which made the younger generations even happier.

Old Man Lin looked at his granddaughter who was sitting at his feet, holding her little face and laughing. "Only Xiangbao can recognize this grass. Xiangbao, tell me, does it have a name?"

Bai Xiang immediately responded crisply, "Yes, it's called Bai Xiang Grass!"

Lin Dashan suddenly realized and joked, "It turns out that the name Baixiang has its origin. It is based on this wonderful herb."

"Hehehe." No, Dad got it wrong. Xiaocao's name was based on her name.

After a laugh, Lin Jiang took a stool and sat next to his father, and talked about the idea that had been in his mind for a long time, "Dad, Mom, our yard is so small, and there are not many Hundred-Angel Grass growing in the corners. Since it is a good herb with many uses, I want to try to grow it."

The laughter and noise around gradually stopped.

After Lin Jiang expressed his thoughts, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, waiting for his father to respond.

He didn't want to stay at home and eat and drink for free. His right hand couldn't be used and he couldn't do heavy work. After much thought, he finally decided to give growing medicinal herbs a try.

If it were other medicinal herbs, he might not dare to mention them at this time, but the grass growing at home is different and it is very easy to grow.

...If his family doesn't support his ideas, he really doesn't know what he can do or what his use is.

Soon, the old man's clear voice came from above, "Just do it if you want. As for the place to plant... We should be able to clear two ridges of land in our vegetable garden. If it's not enough, talk to your mother and your elder and second brothers and see if we can vacate the two acres of dry land at home and give it to you."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe's voices popped up, "Why not? Second brother has an idea, and we, as elder brothers, will definitely support it!"

Li Sulan and Zhang Cui'e looked at each other and said, "Those two acres of dry land have just been plowed. Mother originally wanted to plant sorghum with it, but the seeds haven't been sown yet. As long as mother has no objection, we have no objection either."

"Fortunately, you brought it up at the right time. Your father's health has improved, and there is some savings left in the family. Your two brothers can also bring some money home, so it won't be a problem to get by for a while... Mother will support you this time. I will give you the two acres of dry land for one year. If you don't grow anything in one year, you have to return the land to us next year and we can continue to grow crops. The whole family has to eat."

Lin Jiang raised his head suddenly, and his sight was filled with the smiling faces of his relatives, without a trace of reluctance. He could no longer hold it back, and the sour feeling rushed from his nose all the way to his eyes.

For farmers who make a living from the land, it is self-evident how important the land is. But without saying anything and asking any questions, his family was willing to give him the two acres of dry land to try... You know, now all the land and property in the family is only three acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land.

"I had a lot of things ready to convince you, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't be useful at all." Tears rolled down his eyes, but Lin Jiang's mouth was smiling. "In fact, I have had the idea of ​​growing herbs for a long time. I wanted to go to the Goddess Mountain to look for the Ancient Star and Companion Star Vine because of this. However, those two herbs are not easy to take care of. If I want to grow them, I have to do a lot of preparation, read materials, and ask people for advice... Now that I have the Hundred Aspects Grass, I am much more confident. Once I grow them and sell them, I will definitely make money."

"Puchi, if I didn't know the benefits of Hundred-Angstoria, I would definitely not support you." Zhang Cui'e pretended to sigh and shook her head, "Let's not talk about whether we can make money or not, Jiang'er, focus on the family first! We only have so much grass in the yard, and I don't know how many meals of tea we can make. If you want to plant it, hurry up, we can't be without tea!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The woman was exaggerating.

Although there are only the corners of the yard where the herb grows, small green buds will soon sprout in the same place after I pick them. They will grow very tall in a few days and are enough to make a pot of tea for the family every day.

Bai Xiang held his little face and shook his head, having fun with his family without any worries.

The Hundred-phase Grass needs her to smash the green light balls every day so that it can grow faster and have better medicinal effects. If it is planted too far away from her and can't feel her breath, it will not survive.

Not knowing where the dry land at home is, and her uncle wants to plant clematis, she has to get busy too, helping her uncle to water and fertilize the grass.

As the sun got higher near noon, Mr. Lin could no longer bask in the sun, so he asked his son to carry him back to the room.

Mrs. Lin followed her into the room, straightened her husband's pillow and tucked in the corners of the quilt. Her good mood was evident in her eyes and eyebrows. "Jiang'er is standing up now. Whether things succeed or not, it's a good start. And you, your health is getting better. You stayed outside for half the morning and didn't cough once. It's great. I feel relieved."

Old man Lin held his wife's hand. That hand was not in good shape due to years of hard work. The skin was rough, the finger bones were deformed, and there were thick calluses on the palms and fingertips.

He felt very ashamed, but he also knew that his wife didn't need him to say anything sentimental.
