Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Because of this, many people praised them in front of me, but I couldn't show it too much and could only smile.

After all, among the children on the team, the most capable ones are still their children.

Your own child is not as good as others among his peers, so there is no need to join others in praising your child.

That’s all. Tell these three children about this.

"You three want to earn work points, but mom and dad won't say anything?

But I am still very happy in my heart, thinking that my children have grown up.

It’s just that I won’t praise you in person like my fellow villagers in the team do.

Don't feel pressured and try to earn more just to get praise from your parents. There is no need to do so.

You are in the period of growing up now, so there is no need to overwork yourself.

And no matter what, in our family, mom and dad won’t let you worry about food, so you don’t have to put too much effort.

But even so, mom and dad don't want you to learn from others and be sneaky or lazy.

You still have to do the work you have to do, and as for the pig feed you give to the team, your parents will write it down for you.

After the food is distributed, we will all eat together.

As for the work points, Mom and Dad don't want them. We will give them to you according to the team's conversion rate. You can save them up. How about that?"

"really?

Mother. "

"Of course it's true?

Otherwise, what is mom doing this for? "

"Yes!

Does that mean that I can manage the money in my hands myself in the future? "

"That's right, you can spend it as you please, but you can't show off your wealth. Do you know what I mean?"

"Mom, I know this is just like in our family, if we have something delicious, we can't let outsiders know about it.

You can’t tell others what you ate, and you can’t tell anyone about the money.”

"That's right, an egg or a piece of candy can cause trouble, so if someone has a penny, I'm afraid they will cause a lot of trouble.

We three kids originally came from the city, and if others knew that we had money, more people would probably have ideas about us.”

"Who says it's not?

I think it’s better to be happy secretly.”

"Me too. How about we save up the money and buy some comic books or popsicles?"

“Of course, I can, but once you buy a comic book, I’m afraid people will damage it even if they read it.

As for the old popsicles, if you want to eat them, you can only go to the commune or the city. If you bring them back, not only will they melt, but they will also be seen by others, which is another troublesome matter. "

"Who says it's not?

If it really doesn't work, let's save it first!

We’ll decide whether to eat the old popsicles when the time comes. As for picture books, we have them at home too.

Moreover, I haven’t heard of any new picture books being published recently, which means that the stories in the picture books should not have changed.

Since there is no change, let’s not spend the money.”

"Yes, then, mother, will the money we pay to the brigade for collecting pig grass and the money we earn from digging medicinal herbs be given to us all at once?"

"That's right, I'll give each of you a cookie box later, and you can use it to store your valuables.

But one thing is, since we have given you the money, you can save it or spend it.

It is impossible to tell other people casually, and you are not allowed to bring other people home.

If this gets lost, it won't be a good thing.

And in the future, Mom will lock all rooms except the kitchen as long as there are no adults at home, understand?"

"I know, Mom, what will others say about this?"

“As long as no one comes to the house, they don’t know where to go.

Besides, even if it is locked, it can only protect you from gentlemen, not villains. You'd better hide the money in your hands!

Don’t let it get to the point where you won’t even have a place to cry when you really get lost.”

"Oh!"

As for the herbs they mentioned, how would they actually know what they were? Wouldn’t it be better for them to come to the countryside and tell them little by little?

After learning that medicinal herbs could be sold for money, the three children would do so on Sundays.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I dug medicinal herbs on the roadside. Even the most common herbs could be sold at purchasing stations at very low prices, but I never gave up.

At first, I wanted to tell them that making money is not easy, and another reason was that I thought it could add some income to the family.

Even if it's not much, at least there is some income. Otherwise, with Guo Huaian's salary as a substitute teacher, there wouldn't be much left after paying for food.

It is said that life is not always smooth sailing. If something happens, you will have to use up all your savings. How can this be possible?

Although we still have some money at home, we should find ways to earn more while our children are still young and we have less money to spend!

If we wait until they grow up before thinking about how to make money, isn’t it a bit late?

Besides that, don’t you also need money on a daily basis?

It’s just that there are fewer places to spend money in the countryside, but even if it’s less, you still have to spend it, right?

Otherwise, why do they say that it is better to live by the mountain and eat by the water?

I told them little by little about the most common medicinal herbs on the roadside, such as ramie, Xanthium sibiricum, mugwort, tribulus, jujube, Solanum nigrum, dodder seed, amaranth, quinoa, motherwort, cassia seed, humulus, thistle, water polygonum, goosefoot, small grass, plantain, morning glory, amaranth, knotweed, white grass, sophia japonica, water sedge, madder, polygala, amaranth, knotweed, oxalis, etc.

It’s not that there are no precious medicinal herbs in the mountains, but they are still too young and I don’t want to let them go into the mountains, so I didn’t tell them.

But even if they didn't tell them, the three children, following the children from the village, had already familiarized the foot of the mountain with them.

They just pretended not to know. Fortunately, they also knew where they could go and where they could not go. Otherwise, they would not have waited until now and would have been beaten long ago.

Since they can’t go into the mountains, can’t Guo Huaian and I go?

Every time after getting off work early, in addition to going into the mountains to chop firewood, they either went to dig medicinal herbs or to see if there was any prey.

Therefore, even though we didn't have many meat coupons after arriving in the countryside, our family still ate a lot of meat.

Not to mention that the family only has a meal together every now and then, how can we have one meal together in a week?

Every time we brought back prey, we would either fry or stew it immediately, or clean it up and put it somewhere to dry. It is said that when the children were on holiday and harvesting in autumn, the family had saved up a lot of pheasants and rabbits.

This is not a special instruction to the eldest brother, telling him how to cook the simplest dish.

There is no way. During the autumn harvest, it is the most tiring time and I simply don’t have time to cook by myself.
