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

Father Lin thought for a moment, then said, "It takes us an hour to walk to the town. Old Man Niu's family in the village does have an ox cart that can take us to the town, but..."

Father Lin's face flushed slightly and he looked embarrassed. It was really embarrassing to say this.

"But we don't have a single penny at home right now, so we can't afford to ride in an oxcart."

It's really too embarrassing to say that I can't even take out a single penny from my own family.

Father Lin's voice was low, with a hint of shame.

Lin Yunchu was not surprised. She had known for a long time that the Lin family had no money. She just didn't expect that the town was so far away and it would take an hour to walk there.

I have to carry all these things tomorrow, which will take a lot of effort. It's such a long journey, let alone carrying things, even walking is extremely tiring.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. The Lin family couldn't even come up with a single copper coin right now, and they couldn't ride the ox cart on credit.

Life is not easy for any family in Qingxi Village, and they are embarrassed to ask for help. They think they will have to work harder tomorrow, sell the things for silver, and then they can come back by ox cart.

"That's fine, Dad. Let my eldest brother accompany me to town tomorrow."

Lin Yunchu thought about it and decided to go to the town with the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and wild ginseng that he had just dug today.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go alone, but she doesn’t know the way.

It would take an hour to walk there. What if she got lost if she went alone?

Lin Changting is the oldest and should have been to the town. With him leading the way, it would be easier for the two of them to get to the town.

Father Lin thought for a moment, then agreed, "I'll go with you tomorrow. These things are too heavy for you to carry."

Lin Changting had been to the town before, but that was many years ago, and his father was a little worried about the two children going to the town by themselves.

If he doesn't go with me, I'm afraid he'll be restless waiting at home tomorrow, so it's better for him to go with me.

What's more, the mushrooms and bamboo shoots are heavy, and it takes a long way to walk to the town. Lin Yunchu is only a dozen years old and a girl, so she can't endure such hardship.

It would be good to have Lin's father go with us, Lin Yunchu nodded repeatedly.

I thought that since I was going to town, I would not eat the mushrooms and bamboo shoots I brought back from the mountains today. I would save them for selling in town tomorrow.

If you really can’t sell it, you can bring it back and eat it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunchu first put away the wild ginseng in his hand, and then went to the yard to start picking up the mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

The mushrooms picked up from the mountains are still covered with a lot of dirt and dead leaves, so they need to be cleaned first. The bamboo shoots need to have their shells peeled off, so that it will save some effort to carry them to the town tomorrow.

The whole family knew that Lin Yunchu was planning to sell all these for silver tomorrow, so they all happily joined in packing up.

Lin Changan was so excited that he squatted beside Lin Yunchu and talked enthusiastically about what he knew about the town.

"I heard from Shitou that there are big meat buns for sale in town. They are delicious. His father brought some back for him when he went to town."

"And there are little sugar figures, they are so pretty and sweet."

Lin Yunchu looked at his younger brother as he spoke, his eyes full of longing.

Shitou is the grandson of the village headman, and is about the same age as Lin Changan. The village headman's family is better off than other families, so naturally he has eaten more.

On weekdays, he is the king of the children in the village. He talks about the latest news in the town, which makes the children in the village jealous.

Lin Changan was naturally no exception, but he was very sensible and never mentioned it to his family. This time, when Lin Yunchu and the others said they were going to town tomorrow, he couldn't help but talk about it.

Lin Yunchu felt a little distressed and secretly thought that if he earned money tomorrow, he would definitely buy him meat buns so that he could also eat the delicious big meat buns.

The family cleaned up in the yard for a long time. Seeing that it was almost time to cook dinner, Lin's mother went outside to pick some wild vegetables and came back to cook.

These fruits that we picked from the mountain today will be sold in town, so they cannot be eaten.

There are plenty of wild vegetables outside, so just eat some tonight.

Anyway, the Lin family has eaten it before, so it’s no big deal to eat it again.

The Lin family had no objection to having only a plate of wild vegetables and sauerkraut in the evening. Instead, they were very excited about Lin Yunchu and his friends going to the town tomorrow.

"Tomorrow we won't be home, so don't go into the mountains. Just help your mother with some chores at home. Got it?"

While eating, Father Lin instructed Lin Changshun and Lin Changan, "Also, don't tell anyone outside about our trip to town tomorrow. If anyone asks, just say we're out of food at home, so we picked some wild vegetables and wanted to try our luck in town to get something to eat."

The wealthy families in this town sometimes get tired of all the delicacies from land and sea, and occasionally they want to eat something different to change their taste.

So some families who really can't make ends meet will pick some wild vegetables that taste good and go to the town to try their luck and see if anyone will buy them.

So I can exchange it for some food for my family.

But such things are extremely rare. After all, these wild vegetables are everywhere, and the chances of selling them are very slim.

Lin Changshun and Lin Changan nodded. Even if Lin's father didn't tell them, they knew about this. Qingxi Village was not big, and they had to leave the village to go to the town, so many people could see them.

At that time, I must casually ask what they are doing in the town. After all, it takes an hour to go to the town. If there is nothing important, the villagers will not run to the town for no reason.

"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will take good care of the house tomorrow."

Lin Changshun said solemnly.

Tomorrow, Dad and elder brother will go to town with younger sister. Then he will be the eldest one left in the family. He must take good care of mom and younger brother, and take care of the family affairs.

"I know, Dad. I won't go out tomorrow. I'll just stay home and help Mom with the housework."

Lin Changan nodded. He was usually the most playful person, but his father, elder brother and sister were going to the town to handle important matters tomorrow, so he would definitely not cause trouble.

He stays at home and doesn't go anywhere.

After hearing what the two said, Father Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Although life at home was a bit hard, he was relieved that his child was obedient and sensible.

Early the next morning.

Lin's mother got up early and made breakfast, and also cooked some sweet potatoes.

It takes a long time to walk to the town, and I don’t know if these things can be sold. Bring some sweet potatoes with you. Even if these things are not sold, they can still have sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.
