At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

"Then watch me. Pick the petals by the receptacle. Be careful not to damage the petals..."

The children followed Lin Qing's movements. They were cautious at first, but later they became proficient and soon filled a basket with fruits.

The fragrance of the flowers was refreshing and invigorating. The children became happier as they picked more flowers, and they were reluctant to go home even when it was getting dark.

When their baskets were filled to the brim, they saw Lin Qing still picking. What was even more strange was that her basket was only barely full.

Could it be that my mother’s basket is leaking?

But I didn't see anything underground...

Could it be that it was because my mother’s movements in picking flowers were too delicate and they were too rough?

That's not right. Look at how my mother pinches and throws it, she's even faster than them...

Lin Qing felt several children looking at him, knowing that he had been exposed, he laughed dryly and said, "Let's go, get ready to go home!"

After the brothers exchanged glances, they all tacitly chose not to ask.

The mother and her two children, who had a great harvest, saw the jujube tree full of fruits again on their way down the mountain.

When Gu Sanmu saw Lin Qing stop, he naturally understood what she was thinking. He quickly climbed up the tree and began to shake the branches vigorously.

The dates fell to the ground like raindrops. Gu Sihe saw Lin Qing squatting down to pick them up and couldn't help but wonder. Their baskets were already full, so where was the space left for all these?

In the blink of an eye, I saw my mother pull out several bundles from her sleeves and hand them to them one by one.

"Let's pick some sour dates and go back quickly. Your eldest brother must be starving from studying at home. How about I cook dinner tonight?"

When Gu Sihe heard that his mother was going to cook again, he jumped for joy and dropped the sour dates he had just picked up from the bag all over the floor.

Gu Ermiao taught him a lesson while helping to pick up the sour dates. It was already late when they finished. When they returned home, Gu Damao had already heated up the steamed buns.

Lin Qing couldn't bear to let the children eat these unnutritious coarse grains again, so she rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands and was about to cook, but the children all started to persuade her in unison.

"You must be tired from going up the mountain today. It's better to have a simple meal and rest early. It's not too late to cook tomorrow."

Lin Qing had no choice but to follow suit.

It’s just this steamed bread…

It's really hard to swallow if you eat too much...

It can be seen that the children are eating with gusto. Lin Qing sees it and feels bitter in his heart. He secretly thinks that he must make a delicious meal for the children tomorrow!

I want meat, lots of meat!

Gu Sihe, who was gnawing on a steamed bun in the corner with a wronged look on his face, said nothing, but the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky.

Didn’t mom promise to cook? It’s all my brother’s fault!

How could Gu Ermiao not see through his little tricks? He slapped him hard on the head. Gu Sihe was caught off guard and almost dropped the steamed bread, and fell to the ground.

When I turned around, I saw my second brother with cold eyes.

"Gu Sihe, who are you showing that face to? Don't forget that we couldn't even eat for the past two days!"

Listening to his second brother's lecture, he suddenly realized how ungrateful he was, and swallowed the words he wanted to refute. "Oh."

After dinner, several people worked together to wash the sour dates and roses and hang them in the yard. After everything was done, Lin Qing felt that he could hardly lift his arms.

When she returned to the house, she wanted to lie down and sleep, but Gu Damao, who was reading in the main hall, suddenly called her.

"Mom, I have something important to discuss with you."

Lin Qing's right eyelid suddenly twitched violently.

Oh no, this is a sign of financial loss!

He held his eyelids and slowly stood up. When he walked to the main hall, he saw Gu Damao flipping through a tattered booklet on a table lit by a dim oil lamp. He squinted his eyes as if trying to confirm what was written on it.

Not only did the oil lamp provide poor light, it also had a pungent smell, and there were even wisps of black smoke swirling into the air.

Gu Damao heard the footsteps, raised his head, and said with a sad face:

"Mother, these are all the IOUs for grain and money we borrowed. I originally wanted to keep them myself, but now I think it's best to give them to you.

"Now that we've all moved back, we can start paying these back slowly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing instantly understood where his bad premonition came from.

She forgot that her family was still starving...

She wanted to look at the account book, but it was so dark that she couldn't even see her five fingers clearly, so how could she recognize the words?

Gu Damao, who is under the lamp, has now started squinting to see things. If this continues, his eyes will definitely be damaged!

Lin Qing immersed his consciousness into the system mall, searched for a long time according to keywords, and finally found what he wanted.

【Solar charging | Ultra-long standby time | Low energy consumption | Automatically adjust the light level】

The function description seemed to meet her needs very well, but the appearance was a bit too eye-catching.

The entire lamp body is silver-gray, with a very textured silver-gray metallic luster, and the buttons are also very technological, like a UFO.

Lin Qing frowned. Not to mention Damao, she felt it was inappropriate. If it could be made a little older, with some ancient elements, it would blend in harmoniously with the surroundings and not arouse suspicion.

The system is quite user-friendly and a prompt sound will sound immediately.

[Ding, please wait, we are customizing it for free according to your requirements. ]

After a moment, the table lamp in the mall became what she expected.

The square lamp base is engraved with cloud patterns. The clouds swirl upwards, holding up a blooming lotus, and the light bulb is the pistil.

The lamp body is walnut color, simple and beautiful.

It really hits Lin Qing's aesthetic point!

Just the price is a bit high.

70 Wen.

Lin Qing looked at Gu Damao, whose outline could only be vaguely discerned, and thought to himself, never mind, it’s a little more expensive so be it!

Not only the original couple, but she also had high hopes for Gu Damao after their short time together.

For the sake of children's learning, you should buy anything!

But the money is not enough...

She had no choice but to use the same trick again and secretly sold two pounds of sour dates, and then clicked the payment without hesitation.

Tsk, it feels good to pay, but how can I take it out reasonably...

Lin Qing pretended to be serious and returned to his room while muttering. He deliberately made some noises of opening and closing boxes, and then took out the lamp with a smile.

Gu Damao looked at the thing in her hand with doubt. Lin Qing cleared his throat and after thinking for a moment, he said in a very exaggerated tone:

"Hey, luckily, the gift your father left for you is still here!"

As he spoke, he searched for the light switch and finally found a subtle bulge on the second cloud. After pressing it, the whole room was instantly bright as day.

When a bright light suddenly appeared in the darkness, Lin Qing felt like he was blind for a moment, and Gu Damao couldn't help but sneeze.

"Wow, Mom, what is this? It's even more dazzling than fireworks..."

Lin Qing hurriedly took the cloth bag containing the sour dates from the table and put it on the lamp, thinking, "Please take some protective measures. This is a lighting device, not assassin's equipment!"

[Ding, sorry, we didn't take the ambient lighting into consideration and caused you harm. We'll refund 20% of the product price as compensation and give you a free lampshade!]
