Tian Guihua looked at the books piled up on the cabinet for days, "Chirp chirp, picking them up."

That day, Fu Baimian took Fu Jiujiao out for a stroll. The little guy, with sharp eyes, saw the book in the haystack and pointed at it, babbling excitedly.

She kept muttering "de de, de de," and Fu Baimian instantly understood. The little girl knew her fifth brother could read and was trying to give him something.

He also couldn't understand what it was, so he took it back. He thought that when the hardware store reopened, if he didn't find it useful, he would use it to wipe his butt.

How could paper possibly be stronger than a wooden stick? He's really treating himself.

"Was it helpful?"

Fu Baiman was itching to try it, just waiting for Fu Wujin to say it wouldn't work.

However, Fu Wujin's eyes widened, "Dad, this is so useful."

He took a book, picked up Fu Jiujiu and kissed him on the forehead, "This is a medical book."

He had never seen it before, nor had his master ever mentioned it.

Fu Baiman was a little disappointed, his butt...

"If it's useful, then just see for yourself."

Fu Wujin took out the snacks he had bought for Fu Jiujiao. He was currently learning medical arts from the old doctor at the pharmacy. Although he didn't receive any wages, his board and lodging were provided free of charge. He hadn't spent a single penny of the money his parents gave him, instead saving it all to buy things for his younger sister.

"Chirp chirp, eat up, it's delicious!"

All the little things happening at home, Fu Jiujiu knows about, and she also knows that her fifth brother doesn't have much money each month.

She picked up a pastry and offered it to her mother first, then to her father, and finally held it to Fu Wujin's mouth. "Here you go," she said.

Fu Baimian was overjoyed. "Look, look, my daughter is still the most sensible one. Even at such a young age, she knows how to be filial to her parents."

Tian Guihua was also very pleased, she had not raised her daughter in vain, after all, her daughter was so considerate.

Fu Baiman wasn't afraid his son would be angry. "When you brothers were this old, you didn't even know how to poop or pee properly, let alone give good things to your parents to eat."

"Wife, is that so?"

Tian Guihua smiled and nodded, "Children can't all be the same, some are earlier than others, and everything is good now, isn't it?"

This is true, although their family is poor, all their sons are filial, which has always been something the two of them can boast about.

Unlike other families, my brothers fight like enemies.

"When Liu Jin was this big, he would stuff anything delicious into his mouth as soon as he saw it, afraid that his third brother would fight him for the apricots. He stuffed one in his mouth and almost choked to death."

Now that she thinks about it, Tian Guihua is a little scared.

She said this, and Fu Liujing laughed at the side.

Due to Fuju's sharing on Leho, everyone in the family got to try the snack, even Tang Xian.

Seeing the Fu family boys eat with such gusto, Tang Xian even thought this thing must be delicious.

The result tasted bland, nowhere near the palace food.

……

Fu Wujin's return this time brought news to the Fu family, that is, collecting medicine can make money.

Actually, he had always known this, but before he didn't dare to tell his family that he wanted to be a doctor. So he didn't dare to mention that he knew about medicinal herbs, let alone that he was self-taught. He only knew some of them, and he was afraid of getting it wrong.

Things are different now.

He can openly tell his parents and siblings that he knows a lot about medicinal herbs.

Fu Baimian listened to his suggestion and nodded in agreement. “You’re right, it’s not easy for someone who wants to get ahead through studying to support their family. But as a doctor, you’re different. You haven’t even studied for long, but you already know how to make money for your family.”

Fu Wujin smiled, “Father, I’ll go into the mountains tomorrow. I’ll take my brothers with me to learn a few more medicinal herbs. When they're free, they can also pick herbs to sell.”

That's a good idea. Fu Baiman decided to go up the mountain too. He didn't think he was old, and one more person means more help. When it comes to getting things done, he wasn't going to be outdone by anyone.

What if we encounter that wild boar again?

The next morning, all the men in the house were dressed up, even Fu Bajin and Fu Tianfu wanted to go.

Fu Baimian was a little worried, but when he thought about the crowd, he figured they should be able to handle the wild boars.

"Hugs~"

Fu Baiman took Fu Jiujiao, the little milk dumpling's hand tightly hugged his neck, said that he loved to say not loose.

Fujujiao is also worried about them. At least she can bargain with those beasts if she goes there herself.

"Chirp-chirp can't go."

"Let's go!"

Fu Baimian was startled, his little daughter had spoken another word. He was overjoyed and danced with excitement. His little daughter was so smart.

Fu Jiujiu was anxious and trying to hold it in. She wanted to say a lot, but her tongue always seemed to betray her.

"Chirp chirp, there's a big beast on the mountain, are you afraid?"

Fujujiu shook her head and kissed Old Dad on the face.

I don't believe he would refuse.

She was right. Fu Baimian really couldn't bear to let go of his little daughter, but thinking about the venomous snakes and ferocious beasts on the mountain, he still worried.

"Chirp chirp, be good, Daddy will be back soon."

"Humph."

As soon as he saw his little daughter pouting, Fu Baiwan softened immediately, "Go, take Jiujiao with you."

When it comes to your own daughter, what principles should you follow?

If we don't go back, then this time everyone's focus won't be on gathering herbs, but on protecting Fu Jiujiu, with gathering herbs as secondary.

Actually, without him having to say anything, everyone in the family's eyes are on the little bun.

"Uncle Fu, I'll go too!"

"Are you going too?" Fu Baiwan glanced at Tang Xian. "The doctor said your body is weak..."

"It's fine, I definitely won't cause any trouble. Both Bajin and Tianfu can go, and so can I."

He's recovered quite a bit now, so dealing with a wild boar should be no problem. Plus, this way Feng Ji can protect himself while also looking after the Fu family people.

Fu Jiahao's grand departure caught someone's attention. When asked what they were doing, Fu Baimian didn't stop them.

"Fetching herbs?"

The man glanced at Fu Wujin and knew he wasn't studying medicine anymore, "In our impoverished and remote village, what kind of medicinal herbs could there possibly be?"

Fu Liujin didn't say, but before that, he had been tripped up by He Shouwu.

Why is there no baby?

The Fu family ignored what others said and continued into the mountains.

There are some herbs, but it's rare to encounter those precious ones. Coming across He Shou Wu is practically once in a century.

"Hardware, you don't just talk about these cheap things, tell me about the expensive ones, ginseng... what's ginseng?"

Fu Sijin racked his brains, and realized this was something so valuable.

"Third Brother, it's great that we can find these bargains here. Ginseng is expensive, but it's hard to come across."

Besides ginseng, lingzhi is also expensive. Tiepi shanhui is a good thing too. I could show you, but we don't have any here.

When everyone heard Fu Wujin speak, they surrounded him in a circle. Fu Jiujiao sat on the withered tree in the middle playing.

Fu Wujin lowered his head and saw Fu Jiujiu seemed to have grabbed something. He had heard that this younger sister liked to bring grass home.

"Chirp chirp, don't scratch randomly, some things are..."

Fu Jiujiu held up high what she had found from the rotten tree.

Look, what did she discover?
