But first, just catch a few chicks and raise them. It’s not too late to raise piglets when you have some income at home in the future.

Lin Yunchu's words made Lin's mother feel a little moved. She carefully fed the only hen in the family every day. If she could raise a few more, she could keep them for laying eggs when they grew up. Then the Lin family would not be short of eggs to eat in the future.

Anyway, there are plenty of chickens and vegetables outside. I wanted to raise one before because the Lin family didn’t have the conditions. Now that the family has money, it is still feasible to catch a few chicks and raise them.

Mother Lin nodded and said, "Then I'll go now. If I'm late, the good ones will have been picked up by others."

Mother Lin put the unfinished needlework in the house, found some silver and money, happily took it and went to Aunt Wu's house.

Lin Yunchu washed all the wild vegetables he picked, asked Lin Changting to help process a few fish, and then began to cook dinner.

When Lin's father and mother came back, Lin Yunchu had just finished preparing the last dish and was calling everyone in the Lin family to wash their hands and prepare to eat.

"I smelled the fragrance as soon as I walked in. Yun Chu's cooking skills are amazing. I'm starting to get a little picky about what I eat now."

Father Lin said with a smile.

Mother Lin placed the chicks she had caught in the yard and looked at them carefully. When she saw that there was nothing unusual, she took them to the backyard.

When Lin Yunchu saw that Lin's mother had really brought back the chick, he hurried forward to take a look.

I saw a few chickens in the chicken coop, like a ball of yellow fluff, huddled together in fear.

Lin Yunchu stretched out a finger and counted carefully. There were seven in total. Including the old hen in their backyard, the Lin family now had eight chickens.

When these little chicks grow up a little, the backyard will be lively.

Lin Yunchu couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about what would happen in the future.

The Lin family seems to be moving in a good direction, which is great.

"Wow, Mom, are these all our chicks?"

Lin Changan also followed Lin Yunchu, looking at the little chicks in front of him with great interest. He felt very happy looking at these little chicks.

"Yes, just now when your sister mentioned this, I thought it was feasible, so I went to your Aunt Wu's house to take a look. There happened to be quite a few left, so I picked a few. I think they are good, and I will put them in the cage in the backyard later."

Lin's mother also looked happy. As a farmer, a family will naturally prosper if they have fields and livestock.

Originally, there was only one old hen in her family, and she relied on it to lay eggs every day to supplement the family income. Now everything is better. With several more chicks in the house, she feels full of energy.

"Oh, we have chicks at home, we have chicks!"

Lin Changan also jumped up happily, scaring the chicks in the cage so much that they started to scream and hide everywhere.

"Okay, kid, stop jumping. I'm going to take these chicks to the backyard. Wash your hands and let's eat first."

Lin's mother pulled him up. The chicks were frightened by the noise, so they decided to take them to the backyard and put them away.

After saying that, Mother Lin picked up the chicken coop and went to the backyard. Seeing this, the other members of the Lin family also stood up, washed their hands, and prepared to eat.

After everyone sat down, they were surprised again when they saw the food on the table.

Tonight, Lin Yunchu made a fish soup with mixed mushrooms, stir-fried pork liver, scrambled eggs with wild garlic, and stir-fried shepherd's purse.

So rich!

Everyone in the Lin family was almost drooling. The whole table was filled with fragrant aroma, and just smelling it was very tempting.

Although they were just ordinary wild vegetables dug from the ground, they were almost unrecognizable after being processed by Lin Yunchu's skillful hands.

"Okay, stop standing there and eat."

Lin Yunchu smiled and urged everyone to eat quickly, saying that the dish would not taste so good if it got cold.

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, everyone in the Lin family came to their senses and picked up their bowls and chopsticks to eat.

Originally, Lin Yunchu wanted to continue going into the mountains on the second day, but he didn't expect it to start to rain. The rainy season came without any warning.

It was raining, but the family stayed at home instead of going out.

Lin's father took Lin Changting and a few others to do carpentry work. Some of the old furniture in the house could be repaired and still used.

Lin Yunchu sat in front of the window, helping her mother with needlework in the room.

Originally, Lin Yunchu also wanted to help, but when she really picked up the needle and thread, her hands and feet would not obey her. In the end, Lin's mother did not let her move, and just asked her to sit quietly and talk to her.

It was raining and they couldn't go into the mountains or go down to the fields. Fortunately, the Lin family had dried a lot of vegetables before. Originally, Lin Yunchu wanted to eat some dried vegetables today.

I casually glanced at the corner under the eaves and saw a lot of bitter melon and unwashed shepherd's purse in the basket.

"Mom, why are there so many shepherd's purse in the basket? Isn't it raining today?"

I thought I had already eaten all the ones I picked yesterday, so how come there are still some left?

Mother Lin didn't even look up as she responded with a smile, "I went out to pick some chicken vegetables this morning and saw that the shepherd's purse was growing well, so I dug some up along the way. I haven't washed it yet, but we're going to eat some later."

It was inconvenient to go out when it was raining, so in the morning, Lin's mother went out to pick chicken vegetables and brought back some more.

Thinking that the lard residue from making lard two days ago had not been eaten yet, Lin Yunchu suddenly had an idea. He didn't know what to do on this rainy day, so he might as well make shepherd's purse and lard residue dumplings for them at home.

It's so comfortable to have a hot meal in the rain.

Lin Yunchu nodded to his mother and said with a happy face, "Then I'll go wash it first. I'll make you some pork fat and shepherd's purse dumplings later."

Before Lin's mother could react, Lin Yunchu had already left the house, leaving Lin's mother in a daze, wondering what these dumplings were.

Lin Yunchu first scooped out some coarse flour and started kneading the dough.

Since we don’t have any white flour at home, we might as well try using this coarse flour first.

After a while, the dough was kneaded. Lin Yunchu found a piece of gauze to cover it and waited for it to rise.

At this time, he went under the eaves and picked the roots and old leaves from the basket of shepherd's purse, washed them clean and put them in the basket to drain.

Then he went to the kitchen to find the lard residue from that day, put it on the chopping board and began to chop it into pieces carefully.

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Lin Changan ran in excitedly. When he heard the noise, he knew that his sister must be cooking something delicious.

"Sister, what are you going to do? I can help you."

Lin Changan looked like he was waiting to eat something delicious. Lin Yunchu's mouth corners slowly rose, but he didn't expose him.

I can teach him how to make dumplings later. They taste better when you make them yourself.

"Sister is making shepherd's purse and pork lard dumplings. I'll teach you later!"

Lin Changan was even happier after getting the correct answer. They were really making delicious food.
