Tongzi: "Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the mission to find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Mission reward: unlock the medicine section of the mall!"

Shen Lianxin went to bed early and got up early, and went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. When she went out, she saw that several children had already gotten up and were busy. Gu Chengxin was already making a fire, Gu Chengan was chopping wood, Gu Chengjing was busy sweeping the yard, and only the little Gu Chengzhen was sitting on a bench in the yard, counting his fingers.

When they saw Shen Lianxin coming out, several children started calling her mother.

She is so diligent. Shen Lianxin asked herself if she hadn't been woken up by mosquito bites, she would definitely not have gotten up so early. Seeing Xiaozhen scratching her calves from time to time, she realized that she might not be the only one being bitten.

Shen Lianxin walked over and looked at Gu Chengzhen tenderly, "Did Xiaozhen get bit by a mosquito?"

Gu Chengzhen nodded, "Mom, mosquito bites, Xiaozhen is not afraid of tickling."

Shen Lianxin touched her head with amusement, thinking, after breakfast, I will go up the mountain to complete the mission and quickly unlock the medical sector. Otherwise, in this dynasty with underdeveloped technology, a cold or fever can be fatal.

After a while, Gu Chengxin brought out a bowl of porridge, "Mom, the meal is ready, you can eat."

Shen Lianxin took the porridge and looked at the porridge in the bowl. It was just a pool of clear water. It seemed that after being used to the poor life, he was still reluctant to put away the grain. "Thank you so much, Daxin, you are so capable, awesome!"

Shen Lianxin praised casually. These were the skills of coaxing children that she learned in the original world. Unexpectedly, this casual remark was so great that it moved Gu Chengxin deeply.

His mother praised him for his ability and said he was awesome. Gu Cheng felt very confident and worked harder.

Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing also put down their work and went to the kitchen to help serve porridge. Soon everyone had breakfast.

After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Shen Lianxin said, "I'm going to go into the mountains in a while. You guys can rest at home after you finish your housework. We don't lack food at home now, so we don't need you to dig wild vegetables."

The little ones nodded, and Gu Chengan said, "Mom, we don't have any land, and there's nothing to do at home. How about I go chop some firewood?"

Shen Lianxin looked at the tall pile of firewood at home and said, "There are so many here, enough for a while. You don't have to go there every day. Just rest at home today."

Shen Lianxin looked at the children with worry. In modern times, 3 years old is also the age of enlightenment, 6 years old is going to primary school, and the oldest one is 8 years old. Although they live like this in the mountains, how can they not study if they want to succeed? So she went back to the room and bought an antique Three Character Classic from the space mall and handed it to them.

"This is the Three Character Classic. From today on, each of you must start reading and studying. Do you understand?"

The children were surprised. They thought that studying was something only the young masters and young ladies from rich families could do. How could they, just village kids who couldn't even get enough food to eat, also go to school?

Gu Chengjing's eyes lit up, "Mom, can we really go to school? In our village, only Baogen from Grandpa Lizheng's family is studying."

"Of course. However, you should listen to my arrangements at home first, and we can think about going to school later." Shen Lianxin thought about her own experience in parenting, which always crushed the ancient culture of this dynasty. If she could output as much as possible, it might bring about earth-shaking changes in their lives.

The specific matters still need to be considered in detail. She has just arrived, so she needs to plan slowly.

"Mom, I'll go with you up the mountain. It's very dangerous on the mountain, with snakes and beasts, and I'm worried about you." Gu Chengxin pursed his lips and said.

Shen Lianxin knew that her eldest son was older and more active in mind, but she could see the love he showed her.

"No, I will be careful. You are older than your brothers and sisters. You have passed the best enlightenment age. You need to pay more attention to studying. Besides, mom is not at home, so you have to cook for your brothers and sisters at noon."

Shen Lianxin naturally couldn't let him follow her. She didn't want to go up the mountain wearing a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes with holes on the bottom of her feet. She also had the secret of the space, so it was more convenient for her to walk by herself. Seeing the disappointment in Gu Chengxin's eyes, Shen Lianxin said again, "Chengxin, do you know who in the village can make furniture? Who else can make clothes?"

"Carpenter Li at the head of the village can make furniture and clothes. It seems that everyone can make clothes. No one in the village has to pay for someone to make them. Mother, I saw you bought some cloth yesterday. Don't you know how to make clothes?"

Shen Lianxin was embarrassed by the question and coughed, "It's not that I don't know how to do it, but I just don't want to waste my precious time on trivial matters."

Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengjing both silently pondered over this sentence, and then looked at Shen Lianxin with sparkling eyes, "Mom, you mean that time is more valuable than making clothes, right?"

Shen Lianxin straightened her expression, nodded, and preached seriously, "Yes, as the saying goes, time is money, and money can't buy time. Time is limited, and we should use our precious time on more meaningful things. For example, you have to study, studying is important, do you know?"

Several children silently memorized this sentence in their hearts, thinking that what their mother said made sense, and then nodded vigorously.

"Mom, then why is going up the mountain more important to you than making clothes?" Gu Chengan looked puzzled.

Well, it’s good to ask if you don’t understand.

"Because my mother goes up the mountain to collect herbs. If she takes them to the city, she can exchange them for more money, which is much more than the money she spends on making clothes. So, for my mother, going up the mountain is more important."

So that's how it is. Several children said they understood, and Shen Lianxin was also relieved.

Shen Lianxin took the book and read, "When man is born, he is inherently good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different." She read it three times, pointed out the words to them one by one, and then led them to read it twice more.

"You need to memorize this sentence, recognize the characters, and be able to write the three characters of Ren Zhi Chu. Xiao Zhen only needs to recognize them." After that, he demonstrated how to write these characters on the ground three times. Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengjing said they knew it, and Gu Chengan shouted for her to write it again.

Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "If you haven't learned it yet, let your brother teach you a few more times. You can help each other."

Several children looked at Shen Lianxin with stars in their eyes, admiringly. They never knew that their mother could actually read and write.

After that, Shen Lianxin stood up, carried the backpack, took the hatchet, and picked up the cloth. She turned to Gu Chengxin and said, "Daxin, accompany me to the carpenter's house."

Hearing the call, Gu Chengxin stood up and followed. He stopped at Aunt Zhang's house next door and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, who would come home so early? What happened?

"Aunt Zhang, excuse me for bothering you. I just bought some cloth. As you know, I don't know how to make clothes, so I thought I could trouble you to help me make some. I'll pay you." Shen Lianxin said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Who's daughter-in-law would be like you? You can't even make clothes. If others tell others about it, they will laugh at you." As she said this, she took the two pieces of cloth in her hands.
