Chapter 107 The Origin of Herbs

The eldest sister-in-law patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good!"

Lin Yexi rolled his eyes at the roof: Is it that necessary?

"Xiaoxi, I don't dislike you!" The eldest sister-in-law walked to Lin Yexi's side and explained sincerely, "I like you very much! I just don't want you to be banned from eating food. If you use your cooking skills to cook, the lard we made yesterday will be wasted!"

Lin Yexi, who was suffering from a throat obstruction and a heart attack, held her sister-in-law's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to explain. I understand! I really understand!"

The eldest sister-in-law immediately smiled happily, turned around and said to the second sister-in-law who had just entered the room: "Cui Cui, Xiaoxi didn't cook!"

Second sister-in-law Zhang Cuicui raised one foot, but she didn't know whether to put it down or put it back. Her face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

Finally, Lin Xiangnan came to the rescue.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is calling you to find something!"

When the eldest sister-in-law heard this, she immediately said impatiently: "It's just two pieces of clothing. I'm going blind every day. I can't find anything!"

The eldest sister-in-law left cursing. Lin Xiangnan went forward and wanted to hold the hand of the second sister-in-law Zhang Cuicui, but Zhang Cuicui embarrassedly avoided him.

Seeing this, Lin Yexi took two steps forward, pulled her second sister-in-law into the house and said, "Second sister-in-law, my cooking is just not delicious! I'm not unhappy, don't worry."

The second sister-in-law smiled at Lin Yexi, hummed softly, and then lowered her head embarrassedly.

Zhang Cuicui was really embarrassed and shy, and she didn't know what she should say.

Lin Yexi: My second sister-in-law must have been tricked back by my cunning second brother!

Lin Xiangnan gave Lin Yexi a look that told him to do whatever he was doing, and Lin Yexi pouted and walked away.

Family members came into the house one after another. Feng Huizhen fried potato slices with animal oil. She cut the large pieces of oil residue from yesterday into small pieces so that everyone could taste it. On the table were sorghum rice, potato slices with oil residue, cucumber and spring onion as pickles, and finally a bowl of soybean paste that was indispensable every time.

The breakfast ended just like that.

After dinner, everyone was in a hurry to go to work, knocking their shoes that were stuck with dirt in the yard.

Feng Huizhen looked at the pile of grass drying at the foot of the wall and said, "Xiaoxi, chickens don't like to eat these things! Don't bring them home, they'll attract flies."

Lin Yexi came out with a clay jar filled with water and put it in the earthen basket.

"Mom, this is for feeding the chickens! I know an old Chinese doctor. I saw a book on herbal medicine from him. There are many herbs on it that we can find on our mountain. I thought I'd give some to the old doctor to thank him."

Lin Yexi didn't mention selling herbs for money right away. After Feng Huizhen heard it, she thought it made sense and didn't say anything else.

Instead, Lin Xiangnan looked thoughtfully at the grass on the ground that could be seen everywhere in the village. Are these actually herbs?
Medicine is very expensive.

Lin Xiangnan changed his mind and decided to ask after Xiaoxi was given to the old Chinese doctor.

Lin Yexi noticed Lin Xiangnan's gaze.

She knew there were many smart people in this family!
"Mom, I added some mint to this water. It can cool you down, so don't worry. I'll bring you another batch of water at noon. Don't be reluctant to drink it. It's too hot today!"

Feng Huizhen, who was already walking out, agreed without looking back. The family walked out of the door and joined the crowd going to work.

Only Lin Yexi and Xiao Shitou were left at home.

Little Stone stood under the eaves holding a basket, and couldn't wait to say, "Aunt! Let's go pick apricots!"
