The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

It took a long time to dig out the ginseng.

The two of them stood up and raised their heads to stretch their necks. They had been looking down for so long that they felt their necks were about to fall off.

Xiaomi looked at the ginseng in his hand. It didn't look like a human. He couldn't see its arms and legs. It was skinny. It looked a bit like a skinny ginger with a beard.

I guess it's not very old. But it's better than nothing. I can sell it for a few taels of silver.

Daya dug a hole in the basket of wild vegetables, put the ginseng in, and put another layer of wild vegetables on top. Then she took Xiaomi home.

Of course, I didn’t forget my three younger brothers before leaving.

Goudan saw his sister calling him to go home, and he shouted, "Oh~ Let's go home for dinner." Then he ran madly towards home.

Tiedan was carrying a basket of wild vegetables and following Daya.

Gou Wa held Xiaomi's hand and followed obediently.

From time to time, he would also ask Xiaomi to pay attention to the stones and branches under his feet.

When we got home, Old Lady Wang and the others were still in the kitchen preparing food for the journey.

Now, let's make fried noodles. Put the flour into a hot pan without adding oil. Then continue to stir fry.

When the flour turns caramel color, serve and let it cool. I also fried some sesame seeds and peanuts.

Then grind them into powder. When you are ready to eat, add sesame seeds, peanuts and salt to the fried noodles and rinse with hot water.

It is convenient and filling. You can also add sugar to make it sweet. It is also delicious.

Daya entered the yard and saw grandma in the kitchen. Without even putting down her basket, she ran to the kitchen and said to Grandma Wang, "Grandma, my dear has found a ginseng."

Whenever Old Lady Wang hears about Xiaomi, she always praises her first, no matter what.

"Good boy, you found ginseng. That's awesome.

What the hell, ginseng!

What ginseng? Where is it? "

Old Mrs. Wang was halfway through her words when she realized that Daya was talking about ginseng.

Give the spatula to Zhao Lishui and go to Daya and ask her.

Daya took the ginseng out of the basket and handed it to Old Lady Wang.

Old Lady Wang wiped her hands on her clothes first, and then took the ginseng from Daya.

But Old Lady Wang didn't know what ginseng looked like. She said to Daya, "Grandma knows. Daya is great. She even knew to hide it in a basket and bring it back. No one will see it on the road."

Daya shook her head, and Old Lady Wang waved her hand and told her to go out and play.

Old Lady Wang also followed her out of the kitchen, leaving the two sisters-in-law staring at each other in the kitchen. They didn't know what ginseng looked like. They were just curious whether it was ginseng.

Zhao Lishui is a person who can't keep secrets. Since the fried noodles have to be fried all the time, she can't leave and can't join in the fun.

While waving a shovel, he asked Zhang Xing'er who was burning the fire. "Xing'er, do you think what Guaibao dug is ginseng? Have you ever seen what ginseng looks like?"

Zhang Xing'er had never seen it before, and shook her head. "If it's true, Mom will definitely sell it in the city. We will know then."

Zhao Lishui thought about it and thought so, so she started chatting with Zhang Xing'er about other things.

Zhang Xing'er was right. Old Lady Wang had already dragged Wang Zhuzi to the city.

Why should I take Wang Zhuzi with me? Because when Wang Zhuzi doesn't smile, he looks the least like a good person. This way, when I come back and sell the silver, no one will dare to rob me.

Old Lady Wang shook her head proudly. She thought to herself that she was really smart. She was the smartest person in the family.

On the way, Old Lady Wang said to Wang Zhuzi, "When we get into the city, you must do this. We are going to sell ginseng, and no matter how much money they offer, you are not allowed to laugh. And you are not allowed to laugh when we come back, do you understand me?"

Wang Zhuzi didn't understand why his mother wouldn't let him laugh. "Mom, why don't you let me laugh?"

"No matter what I'm asking, just don't laugh. If you dare to laugh, I'll come back and beat you with the soles of my shoes." Old Mrs. Wang glared at Wang Zhuzi.

Wang Zhuzi stopped asking questions and stopped smiling.

When we got to the city, passers-by saw a very tall man with a stern face, as if he would punch you if you looked at him for a second longer. No one dared to get too close to him.

This is exactly the effect that Old Lady Wang wanted.

You know, her eldest son scared many children to tears in Wangjia Village.

Arriving at Caizhitang, Old Lady Wang asked the boy if they would accept herbs. The boy politely said they would. It just depends on what herbs they are. Some herbs need to be processed. If they are not processed well, the price will be lower.

Seeing the boy's politeness, Old Lady Wang knew she had come to the right place. Caizhitang was the largest medical clinic in the city, and its prices were reasonable.

Seeing that the little girl didn't look down on her because she was a village woman and wore patched clothes, Old Lady Wang thought that everyone in this clinic was a good person.

It is certainly fair for good people to purchase medicinal materials.

So he took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth from his arms and put it on the counter for the child to see.

The boy saw that it was ginseng and said to Old Lady Wang, "Please wait a moment. The shopkeeper has to come and collect the ginseng. I can only collect cheaper herbs. Ginseng is too expensive. I can't make the decision."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said it was okay and she could wait.

The little boy went to the backyard to find the shopkeeper.

Manager Qian came out soon. Seeing the ginseng brought by Old Lady Wang, he nodded and said to Old Lady Wang, "Madam, this ginseng is not very old, and the roots are damaged. But the damage is not serious. It is fresh. Now the processing can preserve the medicinal effect to a greater extent.

How about this, I'll give you fifteen taels, do you think it's okay? If it's okay, I'll go get the silver right away.

You don't have to worry about me deceiving you, our Caizhitang has a very good reputation."

Fifteen taels, five taels more than Old Lady Wang expected.

Wang Zhuzi heard it clearly from behind. Fifteen taels of silver. One pound of brown rice is only four cents, and two eggs are one cent. How much food can fifteen taels of silver buy? He had never seen so much silver in his life.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. But he also remembered his mother's words that he couldn't laugh. He was holding it in until his face turned grim. He looked even less like a good person.

Old Lady Wang said, "Okay, I can see that the shopkeeper is a kind and righteous person. Fifteen taels is fifteen taels. I just want to trouble the shopkeeper to change two taels of silver into copper coins."

Shopkeeper Qian agreed readily. He weighed out thirteen taels of silver and gave two thousand copper coins. Two thousand copper coins were exactly two hundred yuan. They were tied up with a rope, making it convenient for Old Lady Wang to take it.

Old Lady Wang took the money and put it in her arms, then she took Wang Zhuzi out of Caizhitang.

I went to the grocery store and bought some hemp ropes. Hemp ropes are just right for fixing things on the cart. I also bought some snacks and rushed home.

The heat was strong on the road, and there was no place to shelter from the sun, but neither the mother nor the son felt tired. They just felt like they had endless energy.

It usually takes half an hour to get there, but it only took 35 minutes to get back.

At the Wang family, Old Wang and Xiaomi were eagerly waiting for them to come back. They thought it was about time, so they sat outside the gate and waited.

Xiaomi was holding a bowl of water in her arms, thinking that grandma would be thirsty when she came back. She would give her a drink then.

Not far away, two small black dots suddenly appeared. As they got closer, they became clearer and clearer. They were Old Lady Wang and Wang Zhuzi.

Xiaomi saw Old Lady Wang and ran over to her, shouting, "Grandma and Uncle are back."

When he got to Old Lady Wang, he handed the bowl to her to quench her thirst.

Old Lady Wang drank the water in one breath. Then she walked quickly to the yard and said to Goudan, "You three brothers, sit here and watch. If anyone comes, let us know."

Old Lady Wang also wanted to close the gate, but closing the gate in broad daylight would be too conspicuous. It would be obvious that something was going on. So she only let a few children watch it.

Everyone happened to be at home, so Old Lady Wang gathered everyone in the main room.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, ahem. You all know what I did. Guaibao dug some ginseng and I went to the city to sell it. I got fifteen taels."

Zhao Lishui: "Oh my god. It really is a ginseng. Guaibao is really a very lucky boy."

Wang Chengzi also said: "Of course, my daughter is the most blessed. Wow. Fifteen taels. I have never seen so much money in my life."

Old Wang: "Guaibao is our lucky baby. She is also the youngest child in our family. So your mother and I always favor her a little.

This time, my good boy dug another ginseng for our family. You should know what is good for you."

Wang Zhuzi looked at his father with dissatisfaction, "Dad, what are you talking about? Not only do you love Guaibao, we love him too. Even if Guaibao doesn't dig ginseng, we still feel pain."

Zhao Lishui also said, "Yes, Dad and Mom, don't worry. In my eyes, Guaibao is the same as Daya, Goudan and Tiedan. I can't hurt them enough."

Zhao Lishui also knew that Daya had been much better off since Xiaomi was born. Whenever Xiaomi had something to eat, she would give some to her children.

Especially Daya, after having a younger sister named Xiaomi, she became much more cheerful. So she really loves Xiaomi from the bottom of her heart.

Not to mention Wang Chengzi and Zhang Xing'er. One must love and protect one's own daughter.

Old Mrs. Wang and Old Man Wang were just using this incident to warn everyone.

The old couple also knew that everyone present truly loved Xiaomi. But they could never be sure that they would think in the wrong way and become jealous. So they had to give them a warning.

Guaibao is a little fairy. She is also their own granddaughter. They have taken care of her since she was weaned. Needless to say, they have deep feelings for her. They must not let Guaibao suffer any injustice.

Xiaomi nestled in Old Lady Wang's arms, listening to what Old Lady Wang and Old Wang said. She knew their intentions, and felt extremely happy.

"Tuanzi, look how much my grandparents love me. And my uncle, aunt, parents, brothers and sisters all love me. Ah! I am the legendary group darling. Sister, I won without any effort."

Tuanzi: "Xiaomi. You will flee from famine tomorrow."

Millet:...

I'm so angry. I'm so angry.

Old Lady Wang added, "We will use these fifteen taels for emergency purposes first. Once we are stable, the rest of the money will belong to Guaibao. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"That's enough. Let's go," said Lao Wang. Everyone went back to their work.

Old Mrs. Wang handed the pastry to Xiaomi and asked her to eat it.

Xiaomi hugged Grandma Wang and gave her a kiss. "Thank you, grandma. I love you the most." Then she ran out with the snacks.

Old Lady Wang couldn't stop laughing when Xiaomi kissed her, while Old Wang hummed beside her.

"Alas, I'm old and my hearing is not good. His father, what did my darling say after he kissed me just now?" Old Mrs. Wang even beat around the bush with the word "kiss".

Old Wang turned around and left angrily.

Old Mrs. Wang laughed even louder in the back.

When Old Wang came out, he ran into Xiaomi. Xiaomi pulled Grandpa to sit on the doorstep. Then he took out a piece of dessert from the oil paper-wrapped box and fed it to Old Wang.

Old Wang didn't intend to eat it at first, but thinking about how angry Old Lady Wang was with him just now, he took it.

"Grandpa thanks you, my dear. You are so good."

When Xiaomi heard Old Wang praising her, she reached into the small cloth bag her mother had sewn for her, but in fact she took out a piece of hand-shredded beef from the space and handed it to Old Wang.

Her mouth was even more like honey. "Grandpa, let me give you this. It's delicious. My dear, I will only give it to you. My dear and I are the best in the world."

Old Wang listened to Xiaomi's words. His eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He took the meat jerky Xiaomi gave him and went into the main house.

Old Lady Wang was sewing a secret pocket on her clothes on the bed. She would put the silver inside once it was done. It was most reassuring to carry it close to your body.

Old Wang sat down next to Old Lady Wang and waved the dried meat and snacks in his hand in front of her.

"Mother of my child, look at what my dear gave me. He hasn't eaten it yet, but he gave me the first one. He also said that we two are the best in the world. What does "the best in the world" mean? Hehehehe"

Seeing his smug look, Old Lady Wang poured cold water on him. She said, "Guaibao has told everyone. What are you so proud of? Move away. You are blocking my light."

Old Wang was silent for a moment, but he didn't leave. He just ate snacks next to Old Lady Wang, making a smacking sound while eating.

Xiaomi shared the remaining snacks with her brothers and sisters.

Daya took the snack and walked to Zhao Lishui. She broke off a large portion and fed it to Zhao Lishui. "Mom, have some snacks. They are delicious."

Zhao Lishui shook her head. "Mother doesn't want to eat it. Mother doesn't like sweet things. You can eat it yourself."

Daya ignored her and put the snack next to Zhao Lishui's mouth.

Zhao Lishui didn't want to disappoint the child, so she took a small bite and pushed the rest to Daya.

Wang Zhuzi was watching from the side, feeling a little jealous. He looked at Goudan again and coughed.

Goudan looked up at his father, waved the snack in his hand in front of his father, and said, "Dad, do you want to eat it?"

Wang Zhuzi looked at the snacks that were licked by Goudan and were broken into pieces. He waved his hand. "Eat it yourself, you unlucky thing."
