Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Lin Dongfa came over and took the basket from her back. "Aunt, why did you come back at this time? You must have been in a hurry on the way. Why didn't you stay in the county town for a night?"

"I'll be back as soon as I finish my work and catch the bus. Besides, a guesthouse is not as comfortable as being at home." Lin Shu handed him the basket on his back, rubbed his shoulders, took out a handful of candies from his pocket, and gave two to each child.

"How is it? Is it sold?" Lin's father, Lin Dashan, moved a little and made room for Lin Shu to sit on a bench.

Big brother Lin Wei poured her a glass of water: "You've come all the way back, drink some water first and talk slowly."

"Thank you, brother." After riding for more than ten miles, Lin Shu was really thirsty.

Hearing the noise outside, Liu Xiao'e came out of the kitchen and asked, "Youngest, why didn't you stay in the county town for one night?"

Lin Shu took out four big unity notes and put them on the table. "I sold them quickly today so I rushed back. This is the money I exchanged today. I bought some rice, flour and eggs. This is the remaining money. Mom, keep it."

The men of the Lin family looked at the four big unity notes on the table with envy. They could just dig some medicinal herbs in the mountains and exchange them for money, which was much more profitable than working in the production team.

But in order not to attract attention, their family cannot all go to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs. They must maintain the previous pace so as not to arouse suspicion, which makes them very uncomfortable.

Liu Xiao'e happily collected the money and said, "Youngest, do you have any money on you? If you don't have any, remember to tell me."

"Don't worry, I still have money."

"Okay, I'll ask your sisters-in-law to prepare the meal. Leave some leftover food for the mice so they don't cause any trouble."

The food was placed on the table. Lin Shu glanced at the people at home and asked, "Where's Lin Gang?"

"He disappeared after lunch today. Who knows where he went?" Liu Xiao'e was furious when she mentioned her youngest son. "Don't worry about him. Hurry and eat."

"He must have gone to visit his bad friends again. He is impossible to control and he won't listen to reason. Which girl would be willing to marry such a lazy guy? I wonder if he will ever find a wife in his lifetime?" Father Lin looked helpless.

All the children he had in his life were obedient and sensible, but he was the only one who was out of tune.

What a sin!

Speaking of finding a wife, Father Lin looked at Liu Xiaoe and asked, "Is there anyone willing to introduce a wife to the third son?"

Liu Xiao'e drank a mouthful of soup, listened to his words, raised her head and rolled her eyes at him, "We have just finished planting rice, who has the time to be a matchmaker for your family? After everyone has recovered, maybe there is still a chance."

The third and youngest children are the only ones left without a partner. The third child is not too worried because he has a man, but the youngest child is the most worried.

"Now that I have finished my work in the fields, I will first worry about the youngest's marriage."

Lin Shu rubbed her forehead, wondering why this matter had come to her. "Mom, my marriage is not urgent. You should focus on Third Brother's marriage first."

Liu Xiao'e ignored her and looked at her two daughters-in-law who were eating and watching the show and said, "Are there any suitable young men in your family? Can you help me find them?"

Speaking of it, when looking for matchmakers in the countryside, in fact, everyone is introducing relatives to each other. If you really dig deep, you will find that they are all related by some means.

He Caiyun looked at Lin Shu and Liu Xiaoe, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, there is a young man in my aunt's family. He is the son of my uncle's younger brother, the second child, about 1.7 meters tall, good-looking, and honest. I don't know if he is destined to be with my younger sister."

Lin Shu looked up at his sister-in-law and lowered his head to eat his meal.

When Liu Xiao'e heard that there was a suitable young man, she became interested and asked hurriedly, "Your aunt? If I remember correctly, your mother-in-law seems to have only one sister, right?"

"Yes, my aunt married into the Yang family production team, which is closer to the county town than my second aunt Ding's production team. It's a good place. It all depends on whether my younger sister and he are destined to be together."

Father Lin nodded: "It is convenient for the Yang Family Production Team to go into the city. It is not like here where we have to walk dozens of miles to get into the city and have to change buses. It is too inconvenient to go into the city."

Liu Xiao'e glanced at Lin Shu, who remained silent, and said to He Caiyun, "Find an opportunity to bring them together and see if they are destined to be together."

Lin Shu ate all the food in the bowl and put it down: "I'm done, you guys take your time."

He Caiyun stared at the departing figure, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what her sister-in-law was thinking. You might say she was arrogant, but she could endure hardships doing farm work.

But she found that she seemed to have no interest in men and was not enthusiastic about her marriage.

......

After Qingming Festival, bamboo shoots and ferns on the mountain began to grow. In addition to the necessary weeding in the fields, many people in the village went up the mountain.

Bring back the bamboo shoots and ferns, blanch them, and then dry them. They are easy to store and when the season is over, they will become a great delicacy.

It has been a habit since ancient times for people in rural areas to store food according to seasonal changes every year.

There are many people on the mountain during this period, so Lin Shu is not as reckless as before when digging medicinal herbs, and he has been a little more restrained.

But a lot of medicinal materials have been collected during this period, and the balance in the system has exceeded 1,500.

That morning, Lin Wei and Lin Guang walked home with happy faces before the end of work.

"Mom, mom, we're back."

"Mom, starting tomorrow we're going to put up electric poles. We'll be temporary workers at the power station."

Liu Xiaoe didn't bother to pick vegetables, and happily went to greet them, "You were hired by the power supply company?"

"Well, we both got jobs. Speaking of which, I have to thank my younger sister. She was the one who told us the news, otherwise we would have missed it." Lin Wei said gratefully.

Lin Guang went into the house and drank two glasses of water before he calmed down a little. "Speaking of which, it is good for my younger sister to go to the county town frequently. At least she is more informed than us."

Lin Wei nodded and glanced around the room: "Where's my little sister?"

"She hasn't come back yet. You guys go to work at the power supply station. Remember your little sister's kindness. If she has any difficulties in the future, please help her."

"Mom, we've got it in mind." Lin Wei's smile never faded, thinking of Lin Shu's lifelong event, "I'll ask Caiyun to take some time to go to her aunt's house, and arrange for my younger sister to go and see him as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much!"

Lin Shu didn't expect that when she came back from outside, what she heard was her elder brother's words that he was anxious to arrange a blind date for her. She immediately didn't look happy with him.

Seeing her coming back, Liu Xiao'e took the basket from her back and said angrily, "Your elder brother is very kind, you should thank him. Also, don't be against blind dating. If you don't go on a blind date and get married, do you still want to stay at home as an old maid?"

Lin Guang took the opportunity to joke, “Little sister, try to be picky when you go on blind dates. The ones introduced by my eldest sister-in-law are not good enough. I will ask my second sister-in-law to find a few good guys for you. You can choose whatever you want.”

“You don’t teach me good things, but only evil ways!” Liu Xiao’e put down the backpack and pretended to hit Lin Guang.

Lin Guang ran to the side, laughing foolishly.

Lin Wei walked to the basket and asked, "Little sister, why did you pick so many mushrooms again?"

Lin Shu went back to the house, drank a glass of water, and took down the drying mat: "I want to pick up some more in the afternoon. I want to give them away after they are dried."

"Who are you sending it to?" Liu Xiao'e asked suspiciously.

"The person who told me about the recruitment at the power supply station, if he hadn't told me the news, would my elder brother and second brother have been recruited?"

When Liu Xiao'e heard this, she frowned and looked at the mushrooms in the basket, hesitatingly saying, "We should give him a thank-you gift, but these mushrooms are a bit too good to be true, right?"

Lin Shu consoled her, "Mushrooms are pure natural food and are great gifts. I'll prepare some other gifts when the time comes, and they should be presentable."

"Little sister, your friend is also our benefactor. Tell us what you need in terms of gifts and we will find a way." Lin Wei couldn't sit still when he heard this.
