Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Lin Shu ran to another big tree, touched the trunk with his hand, and silently chanted "collect". The drynariae growing on the tree disappeared again.

The system then started broadcasting.

At this moment, Lin Shu had never felt that the mechanical sound of the system was so beautiful.

After collecting all the bone-healing buds from several trees, the system balance has increased by more than 180 yuan.

[System, what other functions do you have that I don't know about? Damn, you haven't told me about such a powerful function. If I don't ask, will you keep silent? ]

[Reply to the host, some functions of the system require you to actively trigger them. ]

【Yeah? 】

Lin Shu was skeptical and felt that the system was unreliable.

Since they could be collected through a medium, after collecting all the targets on several trees, Lin Shu's attention fell on the various herbs growing on the surrounding ground.

In the past, I thought they were of low value and time-consuming to collect. Now with this media collection function, it should be much easier, but I don’t know if it will work.

Try?

I happened to see a bunch of golden cherries growing in front of me, and the fruits were ripe.

Lin Shu walked over, carefully avoiding the thorns on the vine with one hand, pinched its main branch, and silently recited to himself that he was going to collect the golden cherry fruits.

In just a blink of an eye, all the golden berries on the golden cherry vines disappeared.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, five kilograms of golden cherry fruit have been collected, worth five yuan, and has been automatically deposited into the balance. ]

The fruits on the trees can be collected, but what about the roots and rhizomes underground?

Lin Shu lowered his head and glanced casually, and found a lot of Codonopsis pilosula, also known as Chicken Leg Grass. He squatted down and pinched a leaf. As soon as the thought came to his mind, the Codonopsis pilosula he had just pinched entered the system.

"Damn, everything on the ground, on the trees, and on the branches can be collected. This function is really practical."

It’s a pity that the system only told her about this function today.

Quickly harvest the surrounding white grass.

[Ding, I have collected 25 plants of Herba Potentillae, worth 75 cents, and it has been automatically deposited into my balance.]

I also saw some Polygala growing nearby. There was a patch of it. I didn't need to collect them one by one. I could just scoop up a handful and quickly finished harvesting the whole patch.

[Ding, 187 Polygala plants collected, valued at 9.35 yuan, automatically deposited into the balance.]

Lin Shu found a wild yam vine not far away, and hurried over to pick it.

Lin Shu was surprised to find that the stone next to the wild yam was covered with Drynaria fortunei.

If it weren't for the leaves of the Drynaria fortunei that caught her attention, the Drynaria fortunei growing on the stone would have become the same color as the stone, and if she didn't look carefully, she might have missed it.

[Congratulations to the host for discovering Drynaria fortunei that is over 15 years old, worth 8 yuan per pound. ]

[System, doesn't the rhizome of Drynaria fortunei have yellow hairs? Why are these all turning black? ]

[Back to the host, the golden hairs of Drynaria will turn black as the years go by. Generally, the rhizome will turn black after more than 15 years. ]

It was an unexpected harvest, and Lin Shu happily collected all the Drynaria fortunei on the stone.

After harvesting this pile of Drynaria fortunei and earning nearly three hundred yuan, the voice of my sister-in-law He Caiyun was heard from outside the woods.

"I'm coming!"

Lin Shu picked up the hoe and ran outside. He found a plant of Asparagus cochinchinensis on the way and harvested it directly.

"Little sister, we have finished watering the vegetables and it is time for us to go home. What did you find in the woods?"

“Just taking a walk.”

Lin Shu returned to the vegetable field, carrying a vegetable basket, and his sister-in-law He Caiyun carried the load and went back to the village together.

"Little sister, Meizi has always wanted you to go to her wedding tomorrow. Will you go?"

"I'm already married, why should I be given a wedding present? I won't go."

Lin Shu rejected Lin Mei last time, but she still hasn't given up. Does she want to get her married to annoy others?

"That's true. She can have someone else to send her off to marry." He Caiyun also felt it was awkward for her to go to the wedding.

"Little sister, look, is that your eldest sister and her family?"

Lin Shu followed the direction she pointed and saw four people, two adults and two children, walking on the road leading into the village at the foot of the opposite mountain. The two children were walking in front, and the man was walking at the end with a load on his shoulder.

"Looking at their figures, they look a bit like my eldest sister and her family."

He Caiyun smiled and said, "I guess they will only come in the afternoon."

For rural people, although it is not the busy farming season, there is still some work to do at home or in the fields.

There are only a few days of real leisure time in the countryside in a year.

When Lin Xue and her family walked into the village, many villagers greeted them politely, especially the group of women at the entrance of the village who had nothing to do and gathered together to gossip.

"Look at these two sisters, they have the same birthdate but different fates. The elder sister married a rural man and lived with him through hardships all her life, doing endless farm work every day, and even had to squeeze out time to come back to her parents' home for a wedding banquet.

The younger sister is smarter than the older one in choosing a man. She came from the countryside and married in the city. She has nothing to do so she came back in the morning."

"Who says it's not true? Look at how the sisters are dressed. The younger sister is dressed more fashionably than the people in the city."

"I saw that the gifts her sister brought back this morning were all bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. There were meat, candy, fruit, etc. It was a lot of gifts."

"Did you see that? Lin Xue's man is carrying a load. What do you think he is carrying?"

"I see it's in a snakeskin bag, and it looks a bit like sweet potatoes. Did she only bring a load of sweet potatoes when she went back to her parents' home?"

"You people are just particular. It's nice to be able to carry a load of sweet potatoes when visiting relatives. It's better than those who come empty-handed."

This group of women had very loud voices, and Lin Xue and Deng Cai were very angry after hearing them.

Why don't these people take a load of sweet potatoes seriously? You know, sweet potatoes are also food. In winter, which family doesn't use sweet potatoes as staple food?

When I walked to the door of my house, I saw from afar my second brother's three children wearing new clothes and playing games there.

But Gu Jiu was lying there doing nothing, reading a book.

"Aunt, uncle, Xiaobing, Zhuangzhuang, why are you here just now?"

Xiaoyu was the first to notice Lin Xue's family, and the other two children also went to greet them when they saw them.

Gu Jiu saw Deng Cai carrying a load and quickly stood up to take it. "Brother-in-law, you've worked hard along the way. Let me do it."

They were about to enter the house. Deng Cai dodged for a moment and said with a smile, "No need. It's only a few steps away. This burden is not light."

Gu Jiu looked down at his height, which was underestimated. In fact, he could carry a load of 100 to 180 kilograms.

When Liu Xiao'e saw her eldest daughter and her family coming, she happily invited them into the house for tea.

When she saw Deng Cai putting down his burden and sweating profusely, she said distressedly, "You guys just came. You walked so far and brought so many things. Aren't you tired?"

After hearing this, Lin Xue chuckled and said, "We don't have anything good at home, so I picked up a bunch of sweet potatoes. Although they are not as valuable as the gifts my younger sister brought, they are also a small token of our family's love."

Liu Xiao'e glared at her in reproach: "How can you say that?"

"Sister, I have no objection to what you give my parents, but please just keep your words to yourself and don't drag us two into this."

Lin Shu had just walked in with a hoe and a basket, and as soon as he heard Lin Xue's sour words, he felt unhappy.

Lin Xue seemed not to notice that Lin Shu was upset, and joked: "I'm telling the truth, why are you still angry?"

"The truth is the truth, but it's not nice to say." Lin Shu glared at her.

Liu Xiao'e was afraid that the two sisters would start quarreling, so she quickly pulled Lin Xue to sit down and drink tea. She also grabbed a handful of candies, called her two little grandchildren over, and gave each of them five or six.
