After distributing the fruits to everyone, Lin Yunchu picked up a wax melon and broke it in half, revealing the flesh inside.

Lin Yunchu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and took a big bite, and the fruity aroma instantly spread in his mouth.

Ah!

So sweet!

Then he spat out the seeds in his mouth and ate up all the remaining flesh. He still felt a little unsatisfied after finishing one.

Looking at the few remaining wax gourds on the ground, Lin Yunchu pulled a few leaves from large trees and put them into the backpack to cushion it. Then he put all the fruits on the ground into the backpack, intending to take them back for Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan to taste.

Since they found this fruit, maybe they could find other ones in the mountains later. Lin Yunchu got up and continued looking for mushrooms, while looking around to see if there were any other wild fruits.

After walking for half a day, the group had filled their backpacks with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, but they didn't see any wax gourds. However, Lin Changan did find several wild kiwi trees with quite a few fruits, but they were not fully ripe yet.

Lin Yunchu picked some large ones that looked almost ripe and took them back, intending to ripen them at home before eating them.

Mark the remaining ones and come back to pick them when they are ripe in a few days. You can then make them into dried kiwis for your family as snacks.

Today's harvest was quite good, and everyone was in high spirits when they went down the mountain.

When I returned to the Lin family, I found that Lin Qingshan and Lin Wenshan had just returned. When they saw everyone back, they started talking about the contract they had signed in the town.

"It's all done. After we finish the mushroom business, we can go down to the fields and plant those potatoes."

Yesterday, Lin Yunchu had already seen that the potatoes had been cut into pieces. They couldn't be kept for too long, so he had to plant them quickly before he could feel at ease.

Lin Wenshan took out the deed and handed it to his mother, asking her to take it into the house and keep it safe.

Mother Lin held the deed in her hands and looked at it again and again. The corners of her eyes turned slightly red. She didn't know how many times she sighed in her heart. Finally, she happily took it into the house.

After hearing what Lin Wenshan said, Lin Qingshan handed the deed he had prepared to Xu, and said that he would go to the fields with the Lin family to help later.

He looked at the potatoes that had been cut yesterday, and there were quite a few of them. It was already past noon, and his younger brother and his family alone might not be able to finish them in time.

There was nothing important to do at home, so they helped plant the potatoes first to feel more at ease. They would still have time to work on their own fields tomorrow.

Once things were settled, everyone started to get busy. After lunch, they processed the mushrooms and bamboo shoots, left Lin's mother at home to prepare dinner, and everyone else went to the fields together.

When they finished their work and returned to the Lin family, it was already dark. They saw that Lin's mother had already prepared the meal and lit candles in the main room.

The dim candlelight flickered gently in the darkness, emitting a faint light.

"You're all back. I just made dinner. Everyone, wash your hands and eat quickly."

There was a rich dinner on the table tonight, all of which was bought by Lin's father in town today.

Lin Yunchu washed his hands and looked around. He saw that the dining table was filled with the dishes that his family loved to eat.

Scrambled eggs with leeks, homemade braised tofu, stir-fried river shrimp, sweet and sour eggplant, stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, cold-mixed bitter vegetables, and stir-fried fern.

This is too much. Lin Qingshan couldn't help but frowned, "Sister-in-law, you've made too much. We are not outsiders. Just eat whatever you want."

Lin Wenshan bought the meat and tofu in town today. He didn't expect to cook them now.

Lin Qingshan always wanted to help his younger brother's family with some work in the fields, but he never expected that Mrs. Xie would prepare such a sumptuous dinner.

"Brother, this is nothing. It's not something precious. We buy it to be eaten."

Lin Wenshan smiled and didn't care at all.

"Yes, uncle, we have been busy for so many days, so we need to eat something good to replenish our body."

Lin Yunchu also comforted them, saying that Lin Qingshan was good in every way, but he always wanted to help their family more and was frugal with food and other things.

If they hadn't urged him so much today, Lin Qingshan would not have come to their house for dinner.

"Come sit down, uncle. Go back and have a rest after eating. We have to go to town tomorrow."

I have to send mushrooms to Yipin Pavilion tomorrow, but I have to leave early and not be delayed.

After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Lin Qingshan didn't know what to say. Delivering mushrooms tomorrow was an important matter and could not be delayed.

Now the two families depend on this to have an income for the family. Lin Qingshan said no more and sat down.

After being busy for several days, the two families did not have time to rest properly. After dinner, Lin Qingshan took his family back home first.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Yunchu found a clean cloth bag, put some rice in it, put the kiwis he had picked today into the rice bag, and then tied the bag tightly.

Finally, put the bag on the shelf beside the table. This is to ripen the kiwi fruit quickly so that it can be eaten in two or three days.

After finishing his work, Lin Yunchu stood up, brushed off the dust on his hands, and then went back to his room to rest.

There was an unusually bright candle in Lin's father and mother's room. On normal days, they would not have been willing to light it and would have gone to bed early.

But at this moment, in the room, the two of them lit candles, held the deeds to the land they brought back today in their hands, and read them over and over again, unwilling to put them down.

Mother Lin couldn't stop sighing, "Our family actually bought land. That's great, really great!"

In the past, the Lin family was poor and had few fields, so after deducting the grain that was paid as public tax, there wasn't much left.

Often, the old rice cannot keep up with the new rice, and we can only rely on sweet potatoes and wild vegetables to barely wait for the new rice harvest.

If there is a famine with bad weather and reduced grain production, life will be even more difficult for the family.

"Yes, Yun Chu's idea is good. Now that we have land, we won't have to worry about having enough food."

Father Lin also couldn't help sighing. At the beginning, he hadn't thought about buying land, he just wanted to save all the money.

Now that they think about it, buying the land is not a loss. With land, they have food, and with food, their family will never go hungry again.

Land is still better, the more the better.

Father Lin thought that if he made more money in the future, he would buy more land, and if he couldn't finish cultivating it himself, he could rent it out.

It was a long time before the candles in the room went out. Both Lin's father and mother were a little excited all night and did not fall into sleep until late at night.

Lin Yunchu had no idea that the two people who bought the land were so emotional. These days they went into the mountains and picked loquats, and it was a rare opportunity for them to relax.

Lin Yun fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.
