Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

The system might have been broken this summer. After entering the mountain, it kept nagging in her ears, telling her what herbs were around her.

Lin Shu was exhausted at the end of the day. Except for sitting down to eat a steamed bun at noon, he did not take a break and kept digging and picking.

Although I am tired, the gains today are huge.

She earned more than 6645 yuan on that day alone, and her balance has reached yuan, bringing her one step closer to becoming a millionaire.

On the way to the Xiatao hillside, Lin Shu dug up a few more wild yams, weighing about ten pounds.

She did not sell these ten pounds to the system, but planned to take them home to make soup for her family or make yam balls.

When we walked to the hillside where the traps were set, we could hear the flapping of the wings of pheasants while still some distance away from the traps.

There is prey!

[System, there are no poisonous snakes nearby, right? ]

【......Not found yet.】

【That's good. 】

Lin Shu trotted towards the place where the sound came from. A colorful pheasant was fluttering in the weeds, and it fluttered even more vigorously when it saw her coming.

"This must be a pheasant with such beautiful feathers."

Hearing some movement in another bush, Lin Shu walked over and found that he had caught a hare in a trap, so he collected it.

With nearly twenty traps, we caught three pheasants and two rabbits on this hillside. It's a pretty good harvest.

We were able to catch so many this time mainly because we went deep into the mountains. The people in the village who cut wood would not go so deep, so the vegetation was lush and there were many wild animals.

When we got down the mountain, the sun had already set.

"Little sister, what did you dig up today?"

As soon as Lin Shu entered the door, Lu Yinhua came over and helped her take off the backpack on her shoulders.

"There are wild yams on top, and pheasants and rabbits are pressed under the yams. Please get them out, sister-in-law." Lin Shu handed the backpack to her and went into the kitchen carrying an empty kettle. Not long after, he came out with a half-pot of boiled water.

Lu Yinhua poured out the yams and found a lot of pheasants and rabbits at the bottom of the basket. She raised her eyebrows in shock and teased, "Little sister, you are really working hard for the engagement banquet the day after tomorrow."

Liu Xiao'e came out after hearing the noise. After hearing what Lu Yinhua said, she said angrily, "What are you talking about? Our in-laws have come all the way from the provincial capital. We can't lose our manners. A richer meal will also let them feel that we value them."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mom is right. I will lock up these wild animals right away." Lu Yinhua smiled and carried the pheasants and rabbits to the utility room.

Liu Xiao'e turned to look at Lin Shu who was drinking water: "You've been running in the mountains for a day. Go take a shower and we'll have dinner later."

When Lin Shu came in, he didn't see anyone else in the family, so he asked, "I see. Where are my dad and his family? Haven't they finished work yet?"

"In the afternoon, when we were weeding on the ridge of the paddy field, the educated youth Zhu cut his hand for some reason. You said it wasn't his first time doing farm work, and he was so careless. I heard that the cut was quite serious, and the blood was flowing, which scared the team leader. He asked your father to use your bicycle to take him to the township clinic to bandage the wound."

Lin Shu raised her eyebrows but said nothing. In her previous life, the boy sprained his ankle and used the excuse of returning to the city to recuperate, but this time it was a cut on his hand. It seemed that many things would change after she was reborn.

Not long after, a few children came back dragging two baskets of pig feed. When Lu Yinhua saw that they were dragging the baskets back, she started to lecture them.

"You prodigal kids, how can you drag the basket on the ground? How many times can a good basket withstand you dragging it?"

"If you don't know how to weave this basket yourself, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it for a few cents or a dollar each. Isn't that money? You are such a spendthrift."

When Lin Shu came out of the shower, Lu Yinhua was already chopping pig grass. While she was wiping her hair, she heard her second sister-in-law mumbling something, so she said, "Sister-in-law, stop nagging. The reason the children are dragging their backs is because they have cut too much pig grass and they can't carry it. If they don't drag it back, will they just throw the cut pig grass away?"

The beans were soaked overnight. After breakfast the next day, my sister-in-law carried a load of soaked beans to the production team's mill.

While the second sister-in-law was taking care of the poultry, livestock and children at home, Comrade Liu Xiao'e went to borrow bowls and chopsticks from the villagers she had a good relationship with. As she was going to host a banquet for guests tomorrow, she was short of two tables of bowls and chopsticks. She had to borrow them today and then clean them.

Lin Shu did not go up the mountain today. He stayed at home to help prepare the pheasants and rabbits. The pheasants needed to be stewed slightly and the rabbits needed to be fried, otherwise it would be too late to prepare them tomorrow and the taste would change if they were not cooked thoroughly.

It was almost noon when Lin Dashan came back, and his three brothers followed him into the house.

"Dad, why are you walking with my brother and the others?"

Lin Dashan parked his bicycle and said, "I rode back and caught up with them on the loess slope outside the village."

"Because of your engagement, I returned to the county yesterday. Why didn't you come to take the things from me?" Lin Gang said.

Lin Wei explained with a smile: "The third brother slept in our rental house last night, and we took the bus back together this morning."

Lin Shu glanced at the cloth bag in Lin Gang's hand, which only contained a few sets of clothes. Why would she accept it? She snorted and turned around to help Lin Dashan pour tea.

Lin Gang was so angry at her cold snort that he complained to Lin Wei directly: "Brother, look at her, she doesn't treat me, the third brother, as her brother at all."

Lin Wei rolled his eyes at him and said, "My little sister is quite restrained. If you dare to pick a fight like this at any other time, I don't believe she would be able to resist beating you up."

Lin Gang: “…” Where did this heart-breaking big brother come from?

"Dad, you didn't get enough rest at the township clinic last night." Lin Shu asked, seeing that he didn't look well.

Lin Dashan took the tea from his daughter and drank it all. "Fortunately, since I went in late yesterday, I couldn't come back after treating my wounds. I could only get a hospital admission order. There is an empty bed in the ward, so I can lie down and sleep well."

It’s just that I’m old after all, and I didn’t sleep well last night, so I didn’t feel very energetic when I woke up in the morning.

"Zhu Zhiqing came back with you?"

"No, his wound is very large this time, and he needs to be hospitalized for intravenous drip and anti-inflammation. He can't come back for the time being."

Speaking of this, Lin Dashan asked Lin Gang to go to the educated youth point to inform Zhu Zhengliang's wife, Wei Miao, and ask her to take a leave to go to the health center to deliver daily necessities.

Lin Wei: "Little sister, is everything ready at home?"

Lin Shu nodded: "Everything is ready. My elder sister has asked someone to bring the letter."

The living conditions were difficult in those days, and Lin Shu had never thought of making a big deal about the wedding. However, as the eldest sister, Lin Xue still had to be notified, but the other relatives could be left alone.

Lin Dashan was worried and went to the kitchen to take a look: "Youngest, write a menu for me to see."

Even when I went to the kitchen, I couldn't tell what specific dishes were prepared.

Lin Shu gave him the most recently written menu.

Lin Dashan took it and looked at it carefully, and Lin Wei and Lin Guang also came over.

"Little sister, are you going up the mountain to trap game again?"

"Well, we went into the mountains yesterday and were lucky enough to gather enough meat and vegetables for tomorrow."

Lin Guang gave her a thumbs up, saying it was great.

After my sister-in-law comes back from grinding the soy milk, we start making tofu after lunch. In the evening, the tofu is put into the mold and pressed. Then the water is slowly drained out. It can be removed from the mold the next morning and fried to make tofu.

In fact, stuffed tofu is most delicious when made into it for banquets, but my family didn’t have meat coupons to buy pork, so we could only make stuffed tofu.

However, for people of this generation, fried tofu is also delicious. After all, the batter on the outside is made of flour and egg liquid, and then fried in oil. It tastes so delicious.

After dinner in the evening, the eldest and second sisters-in-law cooked another pot of eggs, and then dyed all the eggs red with red dye. These are the red eggs given to people on happy occasions in rural areas.

"Youngest, have you finished knitting the sweater I asked you to knit?" Liu Xiao'e asked.

Lin Shu helped dye the eggs. After hearing the question, she nodded and said, "It's done. Don't worry."

Liu Xiao'e said earnestly, "I am doing this for your own good. The conditions of the Gu family are much better than ours, and I am afraid that my mother-in-law will suffer too much psychologically."

Knitting a sweater for Gu Jiu will at least let my mother-in-law know that Lin Shu also treats her son with care.

"I know, Mom."
