Now the field is leased to Zhou Qiangui's family, and the vacant land on both sides of the house can be opened as much as it can.

Wait until next spring to grow pumpkins and sweet potatoes, which will be enough for her and Aunt Ying to eat for a long time.

During the day, there were not many people left in the village, and even many men followed them up the mountain to collect medicine, and I heard Aunt Liao say that there would be fierce beasts if they continued to go deep into the mountains, and the men were afraid that the women would be in danger, so they took the initiative to follow.

First, you can protect the women, second, you can follow the medicine, and third, if you encounter prey, you can also fight to improve your life.

The people in the village generally eat the prey if they catch it, after all, it is far from here to the county seat, and there are really not many people in the town who buy game.

These are all things that Lin Zifu gradually learned later.

Scattering leek seeds in the ground, Lin Zifu returned home to concoct medicinal herbs.

Concocting herbs is a very hard job, and Lin Zifu was reluctant to do this before, after all, her profession is still to treat diseases and save people, but now she is forced to have no choice but to sit down honestly and cut and dry medicines.

The courtyard was quiet, save for the sound of her cutting medicine.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door and startled her, she was already sitting in the courtyard, and when she looked up, she could see people standing outside the courtyard.

What I saw was an unfamiliar face, and when I thought about it, there didn't seem to be such a person in the village.

Lin Zifu stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, but did not open the door, and said through the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The woman who knocked on the door was about thirty years old, and she was good-looking, and she was now smiling.

The woman smiled gently: "My name is Qin Shuangxi and I live in the next village, I have something I want to ask you." ”

Lin Zifu has always been vigilant against people she doesn't know, but she still didn't open the door and said, "What is the matter?" ”

She had never crossed paths with the people in the village next door, and she didn't know what this Qin Shuangxi was looking for her.

Qin Shuangxi didn't care whether Lin Zifu opened the door or not, and said with a smile: "That's the case, I heard that you are buying medicinal herbs, so I came to ask you if the people from other villages collected herbs and did you buy them?" My father was a barefoot doctor in his early years, and I knew some herbs. ”

When Lin Zifu heard this, she opened the courtyard door and invited Qin Shuangxi into the courtyard.

He smiled mildly and said, "Don't mind, auntie, I usually ask people I don't know before inviting them into the house." ”

Qin Shuangxi smiled: "This is understandable, it's a good thing for the girl's family to be careful, I won't go in, I'm here to ask if you can buy herbs." ”

Lin Zifu didn't force it: "Naturally, it's acquired, it's good that my aunt knows the herbs, and I only have one requirement for purchasing the herbs is to make them neat and clean, you can go into the yard and see the herbs sent by the people in our village." ”

She took Qin Shuangxi into the courtyard, and this time Qin Shuangxi did not refuse.

Lin Zifu stopped in front of the shelf on the side, pointed to the perilla that was tied up and said: "You see that this perilla is all bundled, and the wheat Dong here is sent after everyone cleans it, because I am the only one in my family who can concoct medicinal herbs, and if others send them and do not clean them, it will be very troublesome for me to tidy up, so I have a little requirement for the quality of the herbs, as for the price, you can rest assured, you can ask the people you know in our village, I will never earn more money from everyone." ”

Qin Shuangxi heard the people of Guojia Village praise Lin Zifu, so he curiously wanted to inquire about the news.

"I naturally know the girl's reputation, and everyone is praising the girl for your kindness."

Lin Zifu hooked the corners of her mouth: "So if your aunt wants to pick herbs, just pick them, as long as the quality is good, the price is very good, if the quality is too poor, you also know that the price is definitely not as high as the good quality." ”

"This is naturally how it should be, I understand what the girl said, I'm not a fool, as long as I ask clearly, I'll go home to collect medicine."

Qin Shuangxi was very excited, as long as Lin Zifu wanted to buy medicinal herbs, it also meant that she could have an extra income.

Lin Zifu was very happy about Qin Shuangxi's arrival, this was a good start, as long as Qin Shuangxi went back to tell the people in their village, maybe someone would come to the door to ask.

When the time comes, the more people who sell herbs, the more money she makes.

That's a good thing.

When Aunt Ying came back in the evening, Lin Zifu told Aunt Ying about it, and Aunt Ying was also very happy.

Aunt Ying looked happy: "If this is the case, we will be able to buy more herbs in the future, and after selling them to the night doctor, we can send the rest to other places to sell, and we will definitely be able to live a good life in the future." "She is now more and more hopeful about life.

Thinking about the dark life she lived before, and then thinking about the sunshine everywhere now, these are two extremely contrasting things, which actually made her really encounter them.

The thing that makes her most fortunate now is that she left with Lin Zifu at the Zhou family.

If she continues to stay in the Zhou Mansion, she will definitely be squeezed by her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Zhou will definitely find a way to let her leave the Zhou Mansion.

And now after following Lin Zifu to take the initiative to leave, she really felt what life is, she really lived in vain in the first half of her life, and she actually lived in Zhoufu for so many years.

But fortunately, it is not too late, although there is no blood relationship with Lin Zifu, the two have long become inseparable relatives.

Now under the leadership of Lin Zifu, life is getting better and better, which is the best result.

Lin Zifu is also in a good mood, if she continues like this, her life will get better and better, and it is her dream to live a good life with Aunt Ying.

Aunt Ying treats her well, and she naturally treats Aunt Ying well.

"I'll live a better life in the future, Aunt Ying, you stayed at home and helped me concoct medicinal herbs in the last few days, I'm a little too busy to be alone."

There are many people collecting herbs in the village, and there are already a large pile of herbs in the hall.

Her ability to do so alone is limited, and it takes time to turn over the herbs, and so many dustpans have to be taken out one by one to dry.

The shelves in the yard are a little too dry to dry, so they can only be brought to the open space outside the yard to dry, fortunately, the weather has been very good recently, otherwise this herb will only be afraid that it will spoil a lot.

Aunt Ying also knows what is most important, although picking herbs can make money, but compared to sorting out the herbs at home, it seems that picking herbs has become unimportant.

"I've been staying at home for the past few days to help concoct medicinal herbs, and if there's anything I need to do, just say."

Lin Zifu will not be polite to Aunt Ying.

Unexpectedly, several women came to the next village the next day, and these women were greedy when they saw Qin Shuangxi picking herbs, and only after asking did they know that Lin Zifu was going to buy medicinal herbs here, and they were looking for them.

Lin Zifu patiently received a few people, and patiently introduced the herbs needed to a few people.

The women left satisfied.

Aunt Ying has been listening, Lin Zifu was very energetic when she introduced people, and her radiant appearance was very infectious.
