Mi Xaing 'er looked at Hsu Mingwei. "I do have my own ideas! Brother Mingwei, don't you think that we're living a hard life now? If we want to change our quality of life, we need to have a living wage. How can we rely on farming for seven cents a day? How can we make a fortune? "
"Make a fortune?" Hsu Mingwei blinked in surprise … as if she was possessed. "What do you mean?"
Mi Xaing 'er pointed at the top of the mountain. "As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat if it doesn't feed at night! Let's guard this … "
Before she could finish her sentence, Hsu Mingwei quickly put a finger to his lips and gestured for her to be quiet. He looked around and lowered his voice. "Xiang 'er, where did you get these weird ideas from? You're going to get into big trouble! "
Get into big trouble?
Hsu Mingwei was a little worried. "I understand what you mean! You want to live a good life? What kind of good life? Go back to being a landlord in the past? Eat white flour every day and have pork for every meal? "
What's wrong with that?
Mi Xaing 'er said confidently, "People want to live a better life! White rice, white flour, houses, cars … everyone wants to live a better life, right? I don't believe it! Who wouldn't want to live a good life? "
Hsu Mingwei slapped his thigh and looked like Xu Dongsheng. "Xiang 'er, shut up! We're living in a commune now. Everyone's life is the same. Everyone's living conditions are equal. Why should you have a better life than others? The hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out … don't you know that? Besides, what's the background of your family? It's because your life was too good that you … "
Mi Xaing 'er waved her hand. "Stop talking!"
She understood!
In that era, even people like Hsu Mingwei, who had studied in a university in the city, were still old-fashioned. His way of thinking was completely different from a modern person like himself. He thought that the poorer he was, the more glorious he would be. He could not foresee the changes of the era. It would take a long time to change the deep-rooted concept of poverty in his mind, so he might as well not be stubborn.
This also reminded her secretly … If she wanted to become rich, she had to keep a low profile so that she wouldn't get into trouble.
She lowered her head and avoided the main point. "I just think that everyone should live a better life …"
"Why isn't it better? Aren't they much stronger now than they were before liberation? We have already toppled the three mountains that were weighing on the poor people … Socialism is the best! "
Mi Xaing 'er almost burst out laughing!
This was not the time to shout slogans. "Let's not talk about this anymore! Brother Mingwei, I've been feeling a little heaty lately. I want to pick some herbs and boil some water! "
He took the opportunity to test the waters. "Gathering herbs … isn't something that's out of line, right?"
Hsu Mingwei calmed down a little. "Ah! That depends on how you want to count it. If you want to drink it yourself, we have the mountains to rely on and no one can stop you! But if you want to sell it, then you're poaching from socialism and growing the tail of capitalism! You have to be serious about this! "
Mi Xaing 'er nodded … She looked serious, but in fact, there was a hint of perfunctory in her eyes. "I know! Then let's start planting the vaccine, shall we? "
She deliberately changed the topic. "Hey, brother, how's the university in the city? Can you tell me about it? "
She was really curious. She didn't know what the provincial capital and university were like in the 1970s.
Hsu Mingwei's expression calmed down. "You can learn a lot in university. In the future, you can contribute to the construction of socialism! Even now … My grain account is in the city, so my family doesn't have to worry about food! All the expenses during the school period and future work arrangements will be covered by the government! Don't you think it's good? "
The two of them chatted as they went into the mountains.
Once they stepped into the forest, Mi Xaing 'er couldn't believe her eyes … Everything in the forest in the 1970s was still natural. The mountains were high and the trees were far away. The water was clear and the insects were chirping. Occasionally, she could even see small wild animals passing by.
Her gaze fell on the grass and she quickly found a few herbs. She immediately took out a small shovel, carefully picked a few of them, and put them into a bag.
Hsu Mingwei opened his mouth in disbelief. "Xiang, so you've already prepared these? Hey, the herbs you picked weren't the usual Achilles, Bitter Cabbage, and Wild Radish that we usually eat! I don't even recognize most of them! "
"Yes!" Mi Xaing 'er picked a few herbs. "This is Atractylodes atractylodes. This is Wei Ling Xian and Pangolin. Look, this Red Peony is good stuff! After processing and drying them, they can be used as herbs! "
Hsu Mingwei looked at them carefully. "How do you know all these?"
He studied medicine, so of course he knew that Chinese medicine was the most profound. In the eyes of ordinary people … herbs were no different from weeds. There was no difference!
Mi Xaing 'er smiled. "I memorized it from reading books!"
Memorized it from reading books?
She wasn't lying!
She had an excellent memory. In the past, she had only briefly read a few medicine manuals and she could remember most of them. In her previous life, she worked with her grandfather to treat patients and make medicine. She was influenced by what she saw and heard, so she knew more than others … When she entered the mountains, there were treasures everywhere. As long as she used them properly, she could make medicinal cuisine, herbs, and healthcare. Natural resources could be easily obtained.
"Brother Mingwei, is there a Chinese medicine pharmacy in our county?"
"Yes! There's a state-run Ciren Tang! Why? "
"Nothing! I'm just asking! "
Mi Xaing 'er didn't say anything else. She obediently followed behind Hsu Mingwei. The two of them entered the remote mountains to vaccinate the children.
She paid special attention to the situation on the road and memorized all kinds of plants. She was only waiting for the right time to enter the mountains to pick them.
Time flew …
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west. The two of them left the mountains and walked towards the village … The people who were farming had also finished their work. Lu Yue saw Mi Xaing 'er from afar and immediately ran up to her. "Xiang, I asked the village chief … I heard that you're going to be a barefoot doctor?"
"What? I'm just going to be Brother Mingwei's assistant? "
Hsu Mingwei praised her sincerely. "Mi Xaing 'er, you have no problem being a barefoot doctor! Your movements are nimble and you have a lot of experience. Even I, a student from the Medical University, have to look at you in a new light! "
As they were talking, Cheng Dabao caught up from behind and said directly, "Hey, Xiang, did you know? Yu Hongyan was released this afternoon! "
Huh?
I really didn't know!
Cheng Dabao didn't know where he heard this gossip from. "I heard that she and Zhao Qiuju were both released! Their crimes weren't serious and didn't constitute a sentence. The Public Security Bureau criticized them for two days and the matter was finally over! As for Li Bubai, he probably has to stay for a few more days! He's guilty of abusing women. After all, he was the one who hit Mi Xaing 'er! "
"They deserve it!" Lu Yue felt that it was unfair. "They should be imprisoned for the rest of their lives! Especially that Yu Hongyan, he often abused Mi Xaing 'er. He's not human at all! "
The few of them talked as they entered the village. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw a group of people standing outside the Mi family's courtyard. Everyone was pointing and gossiping.
Mi Xaing 'er frowned …
Did something happen at home again?
She quickly walked over …

She was the second daughter of the Ye family. She was carefree and casual. She was both a top student and a top soldier. She was the epitome of low-key arrogance.
He was an ordinary military doctor. He was elegant and graceful in front of others, but behind the scenes, he was ruthless and cold.
She met him when she was doing well in the military camp.
"Do you want me?" he asked with a charming smile.
She was dazzled and nodded. From then on, she deeply understood what it meant by "Life is short, but the sun rises high."
Someone asked her, "The second daughter of the Ye family has both looks and power. Why did she fall for a" flower "?"
She sneered. Flower? What a blind human.
She said, "Even if the whole world betrays me, he will never."
He said, "I don't like this world, but I'm willing to try to like it for you."
