I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

How can I find this? I have absolutely no idea.

What's more, grain is very precious to every household in the village. Who would deliver it to the Lin family for no reason and remain silent?

Lin Yunchu lowered his head and thought about all the possible people in his mind, but he had no clue.

No, wait!

Could it be Pan Xiuxiu?

An idea suddenly popped up in Lin Yunchu's mind. She remembered that she wanted to buy soybeans, which she had mentioned when she came back from town yesterday.

After returning home, I mentioned it to Lin's mother again. Now my family and my uncle's family are all there, so it's not my uncle's family anymore.

No one in the village would send me these soybeans.

But Pan Xiuxiu...

Thinking about how Pan Xiuxiu kept thanking her yesterday, she was afraid that it might really have been sent by Pan Xiuxiu.

After listening to Lin Yunchu's words, Father Lin pondered for a moment and sighed.

"I'm afraid Yunchu is right. You don't know that Qingyou is just like that. He never wants to take advantage of others. These beans are probably the last ones in his family. Why did he send them to us?"

Mr. Pan's name is Pan Qingyou. He has dealt with Mr. Lin before, and Mr. Lin also has some understanding of his character.

Father Pan has always been like this. Although the Pan family is really having a hard time now, he also wants to do his best to express some gratitude to the Lin family.

Yesterday, Lin Yunchu and the other two helped Pan Xiuxiu. Thinking about it this way, this small half bag of soybeans must have been secretly sent by the Pan family.

Lin Yunchu felt a little helpless. When she helped Pan Xiuxiu yesterday, she really didn't think about asking them to repay her. She just helped out casually and didn't put in much effort.

Although the soybeans sent by the Pan family did not seem like much to her, for the Pan family, they might be the only beans left in the house.

Now that all the food has been sent to them, the Pan family will have very little food left. What should they do?

Lin Yunchu felt a bit of a headache. How about she send some money to the Pan family? Just consider it as buying these beans.

Lin's mother and Lin Changting and others also thought it was feasible. They couldn't just watch the Pan father and daughter send the soybeans from their home over while the Lin family watched them starve. It was too unbearable.

Father Lin sighed and shook his head.

"No, we can't just send it over like this. Even though Qingyou injured his leg a few years ago, he's stubborn. If we send money directly to his family, he might think too much."

Lin Wenshan had some understanding of Pan's father's character. Although his family was a little poor, they were not the kind of people who took advantage of others.

If I give him money directly, he will probably get even angrier because of his straightforward temper.

When the Lin family heard what Lin's father said, they became even more worried. Even giving money didn't work, so what should they do?

Lin Yunchu folded his arms across his chest, staring intently at the half bag of soybeans on the table.

If giving money directly doesn't work, it's better to give some other food, at least to fill their stomachs. If you meet them on a daily basis, just help them out.

"We still have some eggs at home, so let's send some over. We can also take some coarse flour. Uncle Pan has bad legs and feet, so eating some eggs can help him replenish his body."

Yesterday, Pan Xiuxiu took so many eggs to the town to sell. I’m afraid there may not be many left at home, and even if there were, she probably wouldn’t be willing to eat them.

Then send some eggs and coarse noodles, which are edible.

"Okay, I'll get it now."

Lin's mother didn't object either. She liked Xiuxiu very much. She was not only well-behaved but also sensible.

Lin's mother went to the back of the house, took out seven or eight eggs, and packed a few pounds of coarse flour. Seeing that the pickled sauerkraut was ready to be eaten, she grabbed two more handfuls, enough for the father and daughter to eat for several meals.

There were many people coming and going in the village at that time, and it was not good to let others see what was inside and arouse suspicion. So Lin's mother grabbed a handful of amaranth that she had picked at noon and covered the basket with it. In this way, others would only see the amaranth on top and would not know what was underneath.

"Mom, I'll take it over."

Lin Yunchu just wanted to go to the chili field in the back mountain to pick some chilies to send to the town tomorrow, so he would have to pass by the Pan family.

"That's fine. Pick the peppers and come back early. I'll make dinner later. Don't come back too late."

Mother Lin handed the basket to Lin Yunchu and instructed: "Otherwise, let Chang'an go with you."

Hearing Lin's mother calling his name, Lin Chang'an nodded at Lin Yunchu repeatedly, as if he wanted to go with her.

Lin Yunchu nodded, put on the backpack, picked up the basket, and led Lin Changan out the door.

Lin Changan ran in front, jumping and skipping. When he arrived at Pan's house, he turned around to look at Lin Yunchu and saw his sister nodding at him.

Then he walked up and knocked on the Pan family's gate.

Soon, a voice, neither loud nor soft, was heard: "Who is it?"

Lin Changan tilted his head and responded loudly towards the courtyard gate: "Sister Xiuxiu, I am Changan, and here is my elder sister."

Then there was a burst of hurried footsteps, and soon the door opened with a "creaky" sound.

The person who came was Pan Xiuxiu. When she saw Lin Changan and Lin Yunchu outside the courtyard gate, she immediately smiled.

"Chang'an, Yunchu, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Pan Xiuxiu was very happy to see the two of them. She moved to the side and welcomed them in.

Lin Yunchu nodded to Pan Xiuxiu and followed Lin Changan into the Pan family.

Lin Yunchu put the basket in his hand on the table, and then looked at the furnishings in the Pan family's house.

The Pan family's house was built of adobe like most other houses in the village. The house was a bit empty, with a large square table in the middle and a few chairs that looked quite old.

But the house was very clean, and it was obvious that the owner was very diligent in taking care of it on a daily basis.

When I just walked in, I saw a lot of firewood placed under the eaves. I guess they were picked up little by little in the mountains and stored for use in the winter.

"Yun Chu, please come and sit down. How did you find time to come here today? What's going on?"

Few people come to visit the Pan family on weekdays. When she heard the knock on the door, Pan Xiuxiu thought she had misheard.

It was not until she heard Lin Changan's voice that she hurried forward to open the door for the two of them. Seeing that the visitors were members of the Lin family, Pan Xiuxiu was very happy.

Yesterday, Lin Yunchu and others helped her so that she could sell all the eggs. This way, she had enough money to buy medicine for Pan's father and buy meat.

She felt so grateful in her heart. Father Pan drank the medicine she brought back last night and slept much more comfortably. When he woke up today, he felt much more energetic than in the past few days.

"Sister Xiuxiu, I just stopped by to bring you something. My mother picked these wild vegetables at noon, and I brought them here for you to try."

Pan Xiuxiu didn't suspect anything, as she had seen Lin's mother picking wild vegetables in the fields several times before, and she had even helped.
