Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Lin Shu saw the old man coming towards her on a hillside, and calmly took a few pounds of purple sweet potatoes from the system and put them in the basket he was carrying.

The old man climbed up the hillside and found Lin Shu here too. He walked up to her, stretched his neck and looked at the basket. "We dug up a lot of ginseng potatoes. This stew tastes good. It's also delicious when steamed, and it can fill your stomach. During the famine, most of the edible roots on the mountain were dug up."

In recent years, the weather has been good and fewer people have gone up the mountain, not to mention going up the mountain to dig this kind of ginseng potato.

Lin Shu pointed to the newly dug soil and said, "I was lucky. I found a few plants there just now. I dug them up and made soup with them. I think they taste better when steamed than stewed in pork belly."

The old man smiled and glanced at Lin Shu. "You are a woman who knows how to eat, but you can't buy pig stomach just because you want to."

Lin Shu blinked and replied, "My aunt's sister-in-law works in the meat processing factory. She can eat pig stomach anytime she wants."

uncle:"......."

It took me a while to realize that my aunt's sister-in-law is still her aunt, right?

Knowing he was being fooled, the old man smiled and spat at the receding figure.

Lin Shu turned around and found that the old man was not paying attention to her, so she started collecting herbs again.

Along the way, I collected the golden vine, golden cherry, yellow gardenia fruit, and blood serum.

Finally, she stopped in front of a tree and observed the vines wrapped around the tree. The leaves were heart-shaped and several times larger than yam leaves. There were round yellow fruits on the vines.

[System, what kind of herb is this? ]

[Reply to the host, its leaves are a bit similar to those of Chinese yam and Polygonum multiflorum, but the leaves are several times larger than those of the two herbs. Some people who don't know much about it will make a mistake. It is the famous Huangdu.

Its flowers are in a hanging order, a bit like wheat ears growing upside down. The fruit growing on the stem is poisonous and must be processed before use. If you encounter it in the wild, be sure not to eat it by mistake. 】

Lin Shu gently touched the leaves of the yellow mulberry tree, and the system couldn't wait to harvest the fruits and rhizomes that had medicinal value.

[Host, the cluster of plants in front of you that are one or two people tall is the large-leaved schisandra, which is the powerful king of the plant world. It has the effects of removing rheumatism, activating blood circulation, strengthening muscles and bones, etc., and its rhizome can be used as medicine. ]

[If it can be used as medicine, I will collect it.] Lin Shu trotted over, touched it lightly, and collected the rhizome into the system.

When the old man's wife was young, she had to take care of several children while she was in confinement, and her lumbar muscles were severely strained.

Now that I’m older, the injuries I suffered when I was younger are starting to show.

Recently, my wife has been suffering from back pain, and the main reason why my grandfather went up the mountain was to dig some herbs for treating lumbar muscle strain, and Qianjinba is one of them.

Lin Shu harvested this bunch of Cistanche deserticola, and the old man also discovered it.

Just looking at the normal growing plants of the Chinese angelica, the old man swung his hoe and dug down. Not long after digging, he found that there were no roots underground.

The old man scratched his head and looked up at the cluster of clematis, wondering how these plants could grow so tall without any roots.

As if he thought of something, the old man threw away the hoe in his hand and began to pull out the plants with his bare hands.

If it was a normally grown Qianjinba, even Lu Zhishen would have to surrender.

This time, the old man pulled out the difficult-to-pull-out mulberry plant easily without any effort.

The old man looked at the mulberry tree which had no roots at all and fell into deep thought.

Lin Shu, who had already reached another hill, had no idea what happened next.

There are many rocks on this hill, with a lot of Selaginella growing on them, and a lot of Asparagus cochinchinensis were found in the cracks of the rocks.

Fortunately, Lin Shu relied on the system's media collection function to harvest, otherwise he would not be able to dig out the asparagus growing in the cracks of the rocks.

As it grows between rocks, it is usually difficult to dig. Therefore, the older the year, the more rhizomes there are.

It can be said that the medicinal herbs around the rocks were specially prepared for Lin Shu.

There are many medicinal herbs and they are difficult to dig, making it difficult for people who go into the mountains to collect them to get them. It is really frustrating.

Gradually, people who went into the mountains to collect herbs no longer liked to come to this mountain. This benefited Lin Shu and the system.

In addition to Asparagus, there are many ferns growing in the cracks of the rocks, among which the Nephrolepis ferns are the most numerous.

People who often go up the mountain to collect herbs know that phoenix eggs grow under the rhizomes of the kidney fern, which are slightly sweet and thirst-quenching. Many people who go up the mountain and have no water to drink will look for the kidney fern and dig the phoenix eggs under it to quench their thirst.

Time always flies when working in the mountains.

Lin Shu checked the system balance and after finding that it had increased by nearly two thousand yuan, he started walking down the mountain as it was getting late.

After returning to the city, it was already dark and it was past four in the afternoon when I got home.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside, the weather should change tomorrow.

After parking his bicycle, Lin Shu walked into the house and found that there were guests at home.

The eldest and second babies were held by Liu Xiaoe and the nanny and were sitting in the restaurant playing.

After not seeing their mother for a day, Lin Shu knew that as long as the children saw her back, especially the second child, they would definitely ask her to hold them.

So Lin Shu entered the living room, intending to quietly go upstairs to take a bath without disturbing the two babies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the living room, Jiang's mother might have noticed Lin Shu's concerns and greeted her enthusiastically: "Hey, this is Chaohong's sister-in-law, right? Did you go to the fields wearing this? Come and sit down and have a cup of tea. This tea was just brewed by Chaohong."

Lin Shu nodded at her and quickly walked towards the stairs.

But at this time, it was too late.

Although Erbao looked small, he was very smart. When she heard Jiang's mother's voice, she looked over here.

As soon as he found Lin Shu, he rushed towards Lin Shu without hesitation.

After searching for a long time, she found that she was still in the same place, and Lin Shu did not take the initiative to hug her.

Erbao was both anxious and aggrieved.

He cried out "Wow".

The deafening voice startled everyone on the first floor.

Lin Shu felt distressed and annoyed at Jiang's mother's meddling, so he made a fuss on purpose to attract Erbao's attention.

The work clothes she was wearing were from a day in the mountains and were stained with the poisonous smell of the mountain trees, so she couldn't hold the baby directly.

Otherwise, the poison on the body will get on the children, whose skin is delicate and will cause allergic reactions, redness and itching.

"Oh my, mother-in-law, your little granddaughter has such a loud voice. If you don't know her, you would think she is the reincarnation of Lu Zhishen." Jiang's mother clapped her legs exaggeratedly.

The corner of Wang Suzhen's mouth twitched. She was annoyed but couldn't show it, so she maintained the politeness between relatives on the surface.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you, but my second child's lung capacity is unmatched by most people."

When Lin Shu was in a dilemma, Gu Jiu's voice came from the door, "What's wrong? What's wrong, Erbao, Daddy is back!"

Lin Shu felt relieved when he heard Gu Jiu's voice.

After he came in, I gave him a wink and quickly went upstairs to wash up.

Erbao, who usually likes to play with Gu Jiu, didn't buy into Gu Jiu's words this time. Seeing that Lin Shu ignored her, she ran upstairs and cried even harder.

At first it was just a dry howl, but now it was really crying.

Tears fell down her face, making Gu Jiu feel extremely distressed.

"Come, come, my second baby, daddy will carry you to find mommy, don't cry."

When Erbao heard that he could go upstairs to find his mother, he immediately stretched out his chubby little hand towards Gu Jiu.

Dabao frowned slightly and helplessly lay in the nanny's arms watching Erbao's performance.

Liu Xiao'e handed Erbao to him and explained, "She played well all day and behaved very well, but she started to make a fuss when she saw her mother."

Gu Jiu nodded, took the second baby, glanced at the first baby, and seeing that he was not in a bad mood, he held the second baby and coaxed him while slowly walking upstairs.

Fortunately, Erbao found that Gu Jiu was carrying her upstairs, so she stopped being upset and looked upstairs pitifully.

From time to time, she pointed upstairs and complained to Gu Jiu about Lin Shu's crime of abandoning her.

Although the people present didn't understand Erbao's words, they could tell from her expression that Lin Shu's actions just now had irritated her.

Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe the tears from her face. He felt both amused and helpless seeing her performance.

"How come you know how to complain to me at such a young age? Is it because your mother didn't hold the second baby?"

Erbao pointed upstairs again and said something babble.

Gu Jiu nodded seriously: "Mom is so wrong. How can I not hug Erbao when I come back? Erbao is such a good baby, and mom doesn't even hug you. Can we punish her by not letting her eat tonight?"

Erbao opened his mouth and said something again, but no one understood.

Gu Jiu pointed to a room upstairs to distract her and asked, "Erbao, whose room is this? Do you know?"

Erbao pointed to the room and then pointed downstairs.

"Erbao, are you saying this room belongs to grandma?"

I don’t know if Erbao understood or not, but he started to make “ah ah oh oh” sounds again.

When the father and daughter walked slowly into the bedroom, talking at cross purposes, Lin Shu had already finished her shower and was sitting in front of the dressing table drying her hair.

Erbao had already forgotten that Lin Shu didn't hold her.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Lin Shu again. She refused to stay in Gu Jiu's arms no matter what. She leaned forward and was about to pounce on Lin Shu.

Lin Shu took over and fed her, while Gu Jiu took out a hair dryer from the drawer to help blow dry her hair.

The hair dryer is an older style, which Lin Shu bought in the system mall.

When his family asked about it, Lin Shu said that he asked someone to bring back foreign goods from Guangdong Province.

As for Gu Jiu, he always does whatever Lin Shu says and never interrupts her.

The couple tacitly agreed not to ask the origin of the things they took out.

"Why is Third Sister-in-law's mother here today?"

Lin Shu still felt resentful that Jiang's mother had deliberately attracted Erbao's attention and made the little girl cry violently.

Gu Jiu replied while blowing his hair, "I don't know. I came home a step later than you. I guess I came here to visit."

Lin Shuke didn't believe that Jiang's mother would come to her house for no reason. Every time she came, she would buy some souvenirs. Would she be willing to spend money for no reason?

Given her nature of wanting to take advantage of others, it was obviously impossible.

"I think she must be asking for help."

Gu Jiu smiled and saw from the mirror that Erbao was drinking milk while his eyes followed the fluttering hair.

"No matter what happens to her, she can't ask us for help anyway."

Gu Jiu is a grown man with different focuses. He is not interested in trivial matters in the family.

Lin Shu raised his eyebrows. That’s not necessarily true.

Cats can't stand the smell of fishy smells. Maybe Jiang's mother came here because of the smell. I just don't know what she sees in the Gu family?

Just after I finished feeding the second baby, Liu Xiao'e came in holding the first baby.

"Feed Dabao too. He didn't drink any milk in the afternoon. He only ate half a bowl of rice porridge around three o'clock."

Lin Shu let Gu Jiu take the well-fed second baby away, and took the first baby from Liu Xiaoe's arms.

The boy stared at Lin Shu, whose hair was disheveled, and looked at him with his little eyes rolling around, which made several people's hearts soften.

"Do you find that I look beautiful with my hair down?"

In fact, what Lin Shu wanted to ask was, did you find that your mother was very beautiful when she was young?

Dabao yawned and rubbed her little head against Lin Shu's arms. Gu Jiu quickly put Erbao on the bed and let her play by herself while he went to prepare milk powder for Dabao.

Liu Xiao'e stood by the bed and teased Erbao. Thinking of the little girl crying out of breath downstairs just now, she said distressedly, "If it weren't for the old woman from the Jiang family deliberately making trouble just now, our Erbao would not have discovered her mother and made a fuss for milk. Is she full of milk now and feeling better?"

Erbao was full of milk and in a good mood. He grinned at Liu Xiaoe, revealing two little baby teeth.

Since Jiang's mother was mentioned again, Lin Shu asked casually, "Why did she come here today? Did she say anything?"

Liu Xiao'e frowned slightly and said with disdain, "What else could it be? I don't know how she found out that we smoked a lot of bacon. My in-laws got half of it. She came here today just to ask my mother-in-law to give her a few dozen pounds of bacon."

Hearing this, Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu who was walking over with the milk ready, "See, I told you she wouldn't come to my temple for no reason. It turns out that it's almost the New Year, and she's craving our bacon."

Liu Xiao'e snorted coldly, "She has a good plan. The smoked bacon costs more than 10 to 20 kilograms. No one is a wealthy family. The reason why we give half of the bacon to the in-laws is mainly because you have a large family and consume a lot of bacon every year. If we give you half of the bacon, at least you can fry a bowl of bacon from time to time to satisfy your craving."

Now, more than ten or twenty kilograms of my stuff have been taken away by others.

Will the other relatives of the Gu family get the news and ask for some bacon?

If he really comes, will Wang Suzhen break up with him or not?

"My family won't tell anyone about this. It must have been my third sister-in-law who told my mother."

It’s not that Lin Shu was talking bad about people behind their backs, but that Jiang Chaohong cared too much about her mother’s family.

If she was capable of taking care of her parents' family, perhaps no one would say anything to her.

The problem is that she herself has no ability, but she always wants to drag others into helping her parents' home.

For example, the last time I opened a fruit shop, and this time I had the bacon.

She clearly knew that the bacon was smoked by the Lin family, but she still wanted to take advantage of the family.

Liu Xiao'e glanced at Gu Jiu and nodded: "I think you are right. If she doesn't tell me, how would her mother know that the Gu family got half a pig's bacon."

Lin Shu took the bottle and shook his head: "I'm just worried that other relatives will come to ask for bacon. This year, the bacon you took the trouble to smoke may all be given to others."

My relatives worked hard to smoke the bacon in order to improve their lives, but in the end it was given to outsiders.

It makes me feel anxious just thinking about it.

Liu Xiao'e sighed, "It doesn't take much effort to smoke bacon, but the main thing is that I'm worried that you won't have much bacon to eat next year."

People who grew up eating bacon usually like it and want to stir-fry a plate of bacon to satisfy their cravings from time to time.

There are so many people in the Gu family, and if there is less bacon, how many pieces can my daughter and son-in-law eat?
