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

Lin Changan laughed out loud in surprise, then stood up and ran towards the gate.

Behind Lin Changting, Lin Changshun and Lin's father followed and went straight into the Lin family's yard.

After putting the baskets on their backs on the ground, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lin Changan hurried back into the house, poured a few bowls of boiled water, and brought them out to the people.

After walking such a long way and without any food or drink when they entered the mountains today, they must have been extremely thirsty.

As expected, several people took the water, tilted their heads back and drank up all the water in the bowl without saying a word.

When Lin's mother heard the noise, she hurried out. When she saw that everyone had returned, she was completely relieved.

"You guys take a break first. There's some food left in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you."

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen.

After a while, the food left for a few people was heated up and brought out, and they were asked to eat quickly.

Going into the mountains is a strenuous task. I didn’t bring any dry food with me today, so I must be starving.

After everyone finished lunch, the family sat in the yard and began to sort out the mushrooms and bamboo shoots they had picked up that day.

Thinking about their trip to town tomorrow, Lin's mother asked, "How many of us are going to town tomorrow? We have to take an ox cart."

On normal days, the Lin family couldn't afford to ride in an ox cart, but now they could afford a few copper coins, and Lin's mother was reluctant to let Lin's father and others walk to the town.

It takes almost an hour to walk to the town, and carrying so many things on your back is extremely tiring.

Father Lin looked at the mushrooms and bamboo shoots he had carried back from the mountain today. He originally thought that just he and Lin Yunchu could go to the town, and they could save some money.

But now there are quite a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and they can't carry them all by themselves. Moreover, when they went out in the morning, Lin Yunchu also promised to take Lin Changan to the town tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Changting and Yunchu will go to town with me tomorrow. There are quite a lot of things here, so we should take an oxcart this time. We don't want to tire the children."

After Father Lin finished speaking, he saw Lin Changan staring at him. Then he remembered that he had not mentioned Lin Changan's name, so he added:

"And Chang'an, come with us too, but we have to agree that when we get to town there will be a lot of people around, so don't run around. Stay close to us, understand?"

Hearing that he could also go to the town, Lin Changan was delighted and nodded repeatedly to his father: "I know, Dad, I will definitely not run around, I will just follow my sister."

This was the first time he had returned to town since he was a child. Lin Changan really wanted to run outside and show off to Shitou, Zhuzi and the others.

However, when he thought of what Lin Yunchu had told him before, this idea was immediately suppressed.

Lin Yunchu was worried that Lin Changan was young and might accidentally say something wrong when he went out, and everyone in the village would know about his family's affairs.

Therefore, Lin Yunchu had already made it clear that his family's journey into the mountains and the money they earned could not be told to anyone outside, not even to his best friend.

Although Lin Chang'an was young, he knew the importance of these things after Lin Yunchu's advice. He only knew that only if he kept his mouth shut could his family have enough food to eat, so he would not say anything nonsense.

The few of them were busy until the evening, and only then did they clean up all the things they had picked in the mountains that day.

Lin's mother asked Lin Yunchu to go and rest for a while and she would cook dinner.

After being busy for most of the day, Lin Yunchu was a little tired, and he had to get up early the next morning to go to town, so he didn't refuse anymore.

Moreover, these days, Lin's mother has also been learning how to cook from Lin Yunchu. At Lin Yunchu's repeated requests, Lin's mother is willing to add more lard. Now her cooking is quite decent and much better than before.

The meat at home had been eaten up. During the day, Lin's mother and Lin Chang'an went out to pick some bitter melon and wild garlic. The white cauliflower was especially fresh and tender after the rain, so Lin's mother also picked a handful.

Lin's mother was going to take the mushrooms and bamboo shoots to town tomorrow, so she was reluctant to eat them.

She thought that if Yipintang were to collect all these things tomorrow, it would cost her a lot of money, and she couldn't bear to eat them herself.

We picked quite a few wild vegetables today, which are enough to eat. There are still a few eggs left from Cuizhi from Uncle Lin's family last time, which are just right for stir-frying wild garlic.

In the evening, Lin's mother made stir-fried bitter greens, scrambled eggs with wild garlic, and cauliflower soup.

Lin Yunchu thought the food looked really good and gave a thumbs up to praise Lin's mother. It turned out that Lin's mother's cooking skills were also good, but she was reluctant to use oil and salt.

It was also because the Lin family was used to living a hard life, and Lin's mother always couldn't help but think about saving some money.

After cooking a few times, Lin Yunchu kept watching from the side, and gradually Lin's mother relaxed a little.

Lin Yunchu was right, a good body was the most important thing. Father Lin and his men had to work in the fields on a daily basis, so if they didn't even have any income, how could they have the energy?

You have to eat your fill to have the energy to work.

"The food my mother cooks is so delicious."

Lin Changan picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with wild onions and ate it with a look of satisfaction.

After dinner, thinking that they had to get up early the next day, everyone in the Lin family went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Lin's mother had already prepared breakfast. She had originally thought of cooking some sweet potatoes for them to take with them so they could eat if they were hungry on the road.

She knew Lin's father's temper. Everything in the town was very expensive, and they were probably reluctant to eat in the town. It would probably be very late when they came back. Lin Chang'an was still young and couldn't stand being so hungry.

Lin Yunchu quickly stopped them. They had brought a lot of things today, and it would be inconvenient to bring sweet potatoes with them. Moreover, even if they were reluctant to eat the meat buns, they could always buy a few steamed buns.

It's better not to be so troublesome when you go out. There are still many things to do in town.

The meat and food we bought last time are almost all gone. I have to buy some more when I go to town today.

I don’t know what the situation is with these mushrooms and bamboo shoots at Yipintang. If they really can’t be sold, I’ll have to carry them back.

Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin's mother nodded quickly without saying much. They had to carry things and take Chang'an, a half-grown boy, with them, so it was not easy to carry too many things.

"Then hurry up and have some breakfast. You must eat a full meal before going out."

It would take quite a while to ride in the ox cart, so Mother Lin urged them to have breakfast first.

After hurriedly finishing their breakfast, they carried their backpacks and rushed to the village entrance.

Seeing the Lin family members, Old Man Niu waved to them from afar.

The last time he came back, the Lin family rode in his ox cart. Judging from the baskets on their backs, they were probably going to the town.
