I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 282: The Stealing Team

Gu Wenxuan and her friends had already had a delicious lunch at noon, so they didn't eat much meat for dinner. Instead, they ate a lot of the cold spinach and vinegar cabbage prepared by Bai Jingzhou, along with pancakes.

After everyone had dinner, Bai Jingzhou washed the strawberries, cherries, yellow peaches and other fruits that the Lin family members gave to Lin's father's family, and Lin's father's family gave to them.

The fruits these days are not the kind that are big and sweet, but the kind that have some natural fruit acid and are not very big in size. Gu Wenxuan likes to eat this kind.

She was not only thinking about eating, she was also thinking about planting, thinking about being able to eat for a long time in the future.

Seeing that she was staring at the strawberries in worry, Bai Jingzhou was very considerate and taught her how to preserve strawberry seeds.

There are two main methods for saving strawberry seeds:

1. Save the seeds. When eating strawberries, save the larger and more mature ones. There will be some white or dark dots on them, which are the strawberry seeds. You can use tweezers to remove them or filter them with gauze to get the seeds. After drying the seeds, store them in a cool and dry place.

2. Save the runners for seeds. Cut off the runners from the grown strawberry seedlings and use them directly as strawberry seedlings for planting.

After listening to his explanation, Gu Wenxuan immediately decided to take two approaches at the same time.

She entrusted the task of getting seeds to Bai Jingzhou and Bai Jingshan, who were both careful and patient. She planned to ask the villagers for some runners herself when they were about to leave.

Gu Wenxuan has always been liked by children. It was like this when she was in Baijia Village, and it is still like this when she came to Linjia Village.

The children were curious about her and always tried to get closer to her, wanting to play with her, but she was a very humble and childlike person.

When the children came over, she would chat with them with a smile and give them various snacks.

The children were so attracted by her friendly attitude that she never looked down on them just because they were small. She even generously shared food with them and all of them vied to play with her.

Whenever Gu Wenxuan was in the village, the children would take her to catch fish and shrimp, pick wild duck eggs, take bird eggs, and look for wild fruits. They would share the delicious food and their own little secrets with her without reservation.

Gu Wenhai, who was often asked by children in the village to check whether Gu Wenxuan was at home, sighed more than once, "My sister is still as popular as ever among children."

Others nodded.

When she was in Baijia Village, Gu Wenxuan was so busy that she obviously didn't have much time to interact with the children in the village, but they were happy every time they saw Gu Wenxuan and liked to be around her.

Now Gu Wenxuan is not as busy as she was in Baijia Village. She has more time to play with the children in Linjia Village, and the children are getting along with her more quickly.

Bai Jingzhou and the others were not like Gu Wenxuan. Instead of playing with children, they preferred to focus on their own affairs, such as reading, or learning planting and breeding from the Lin clan members in the village.

Yes, usually when Gu Wenxuan doesn’t leave the village, Fang Youfu and the others will go to help Lin’s father and his family take care of the fields.

Don't think that they are the only ones who would do this. Many members of the Lin family would rush to help the direct branch of the family.

Fang Youfu and others did not go there to snatch the opportunity to perform from others; they went there to learn from the villagers.

The Lin clan members basically only help the direct branch, especially Lin's father's family. But it is different for Fang Youfu and his family. They will take the initiative to help those in the village who are good at planting and breeding.

They went there with a mission given by Bai Jingzhou.

Bai Jingzhou privately told them, "Learn how the people here grow rice, lotus roots, fruit trees, mulberry trees and other crops, and how they raise fish, shrimps and crabs."

The six people were also from farming families, and they understood Bai Jingzhou's intentions as soon as he said that. The six people were like chicken blood, as long as Gu Wenxuan didn't take them out, they would go around the village and find the families that Bai Jingzhou had marked to do work for them.

Those members of the Lin family knew that they were powerful figures who escorted Lin's father and his family back home. Not only were they skilled in martial arts, but they were also related to Lin's father and his family, so they were all very enthusiastic towards them.

They asked this and that, and the other party answered them readily. Although this readiness was largely because they did not think that what they knew was anything big, the Fang brothers were still very grateful to those Lin clan members who were willing to teach them.

Every time they learned something, they would immediately write it down in the booklet they had prepared long ago while it was still fresh in their memory.

Although the Lin family members' stories were fragmentary and there was no order or logic from shallow to deep, they still recorded them very carefully every time.

Other people in the village didn't know that they and those families were getting what they wanted from each other. They provided labor for each other, and the other party taught them the farming knowledge they wanted to know. They thought that they were the kind of good-natured people who were easy to talk to and had a lot of energy but nowhere to use it, so anyone could ask them to help with things.

Those with good intentions either secretly shook their heads at their behavior or tactfully advised them not to work for nothing like this, but those with evil intentions became jealous of those tribesmen who, in their opinion, were getting the upper hand.

Not only did they target Fang Youfu and others, trying to get them to work for them for free, they also shamelessly approached Lin's father and his family, asking to "borrow" the eight horses raised in the Lin family.

Lin's father and mother directly refused, "That horse is not ours."

The other party refused to give up and asked to meet Gu Wenxuan and the others, which made Lin's father so angry that he pointed at those people and scolded them.

Bai Jingzhou happened to come to deliver an article he wrote to Lin's father. When he heard the other party scolding someone, Bai Jingzhou did not go in immediately.

It was not until those people left the Lin family's old house in disgrace that Bai Jingzhou found Lin's father and gave him the article he had written for correction.

Father Lin had already noticed the figure that flashed by the main courtyard gate just now. He took the manuscript and said to Bai Jingzhou: "A big tree has dead branches. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Bai Jingzhou shook his head, "You also said that big trees have dead branches, and this is the same for our Bai family."

So, eldest brother, don’t laugh at second brother, because every family has some weird relatives.

Father Lin laughed and shook his head, his mood unconsciously improved because of Bai Jingzhou's words.

Bai Jingzhou, Fang Youfu and others were busy with their own things, but Gu Wenxuan, who seemed to be idle, was actually not idle either.

As she mingled with the children, she also became familiar with the other parents. In less than half a month, she was able to enter and leave the children's homes freely.

While Fang Youfu and his friends were happily learning from each other, Gu Wenxuan also came under the pretext of "helping" and learned how to grow vegetables, plant fruit trees, raise silkworms, make cocoons, reel silk, etc. from the aunts, sisters and sisters-in-law from various families.

Not only that, she also successfully distributed a lot of vegetable seeds, strawberry seedlings, fruit tree seedlings and mulberry seedlings from each household.

Of course, she didn't want the strawberry seedlings, fruit tree seedlings, and mulberry tree seedlings now. She had already made arrangements with the aunts and sisters in each household. When they left Linjia Village, she would take the small basins and ask for them from them.
