This time, the Lin family headed up the mountain with a clear objective. Since Lin Yanzhi was too small and could hardly keep up, Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou took turns carrying him up the mountain.
"Harvest all these water knotweeds," Lin Ziyin swiftly instructed the family.
"Alright, leave it to me." Wu Dayou was initially planning to hunt a few game in the mountain with Lin Changshu, but since they were accompanied by two youngsters, he decided to help Lin Ziyin with the work instead.
Lin Changting, who turned six this year, often took on the responsibilities of an adult due to the family's poverty and the need to care for Lin Yanzhi. After they reached the mountaintop, he promptly started helping Lin Ziyin with the foraging.
There's strength in numbers. In less than an hour, Lin Ziyin and Wu Dayou's baskets were filled with the valuable things they had found.
"Sis, there are fish!" Lin Changting exclaimed excitedly once they got to a stream.
