Chapter 200: Lucky Star Control Group 7
The father and his two sons do not have such lofty ideals for the time being. Now all they can think of is this business.
So the next day, there were two more people in the team that went into the mountains to collect herbs.
When there are a lot of people, the contrast will naturally become apparent.
Liu Yuanqing, who had lost confidence due to the blow from his younger sister yesterday, unexpectedly discovered that he was actually quite good among his father and son.
Father Liu identified the medicinal herbs more slowly than he did, but he also received recognition.
Liu Yuanzhuang was completely useless. He made Doctor Li so angry several times that he stamped his feet. Later, he scolded him for being a blockhead and refused to teach him.
The poor boy scratched his head in frustration and could only follow the little sister as a bodyguard, while trying to learn something from her and trying hard to cram it into his own brain.
At the end of the day, some were happy and some were sad, but except for Liu Yuanzhuang who was never smart, the family was happy overall.
Doctor Li was old after all, and since Shen Yuan was always causing trouble for him, he did not deliberately suppress his strength, and it only took him five days to completely "learn" it.
The old man was so happy that he called her a peerless genius and once again thought about taking her as his disciple. However, he still had some concerns in his heart and did not say it out loud.
Chen Yuan knew nothing about this and happily took over Doctor Li's position, accompanying his father and brother to collect herbs early in the morning and return late at night every day, and teaching them how to identify and distinguish herbs.
Father Liu and Liu Yuanqing made encouraging progress. In the beginning, they needed her advice to find usable herbs among the weeds. Gradually, they could discover them by themselves, dig them out and ask her for confirmation. Later, they could recognize most of them, and only a very small number of them were unsure and still needed her help.
Liu Yuanzhuang is not so good. This kid seems to have cognitive impairment and cannot tell the difference between the herbs. Even if the herbs are placed in front of him and he is taught to observe the details carefully, he will still forget them when he turns around.
"Little sister, is second brother really useless?" The young boy, who was as strong as a calf, cried with his head hung, looking both pitiful and funny.
Shen Yuan tried hard to recall the tragic ending of the Liu family, and then she suppressed her smile with difficulty, otherwise she was afraid that her second brother would really cry out.
"Second brother, don't get stuck in a rut. This only shows that you don't have talent in this field, but it doesn't mean you can't do other things."
She carefully flipped through the original owner's memories. "I still remember that when I was a child, I was in poor health and couldn't go out all day. You were afraid that I would get bored, so you found some grass and made little animals for me to play with. You made them so realistic!"
"Little sister, do you still remember it?" Speaking of this, Liu Yuanzhuang was finally not so depressed, and a silly smile appeared on his face, "I learned it from Uncle He. There were several people at that time, and I learned the fastest and did the best!"
"Uncle He?" Shen Yuan thought for a moment, "Is it Uncle He who is a carpenter?"
Liu Yuanzhuang nodded: "Yes! My little sister has a good memory. My second brother only mentioned it to you twice, and you remembered it."
She was used to her father and brothers praising her from time to time. In their eyes, she was the smartest and most praised one in the family. No matter what she did, she would be praised.
Chen Yuan pointed at the table, thinking: "Maybe your talent lies in carpentry. Have you ever thought about asking Uncle He to be your master?"
Craftsmen are still in great demand these days, and being a carpenter is a good profession to make a living.
"No...no." Liu Yuanzhuang lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously picking at his pants.
lie.
Chen Yuan saw through it at a glance. The second brother of the original owner would get nervous when he lied, and would pick at his pants when he was nervous. Not to mention him, she already knew all the little habits of the three of them.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to learn it? Our family has made some money recently, so it won't be a problem to prepare a gift for you to become a disciple."
Liu Yuanzhuang said anxiously: "No, the money should be kept for your dowry."
Shen Yuan: ...
Just because of what he said, I have no choice but to become his disciple!
The next day, she used the excuse of wanting to rest and did not go into the mountain.
Naturally, the father and his two sons had no objection at all. They had always been worried about the health of their youngest daughter/sister and wished she would stay at home.
It's just that when it was brought up before, she distracted them. Also, at that time they hadn't learned how to identify medicinal herbs, so they needed her guidance, which delayed it.
After seeing his father and brother off, Chen Yuan packed up a bit and left home as well.
Just after walking a short distance, I met an aunt from the village. I didn't know her name, but I had passed by her house before, so the original owner remembered her.
Surprisingly, she didn't hide from him, but greeted him in a friendly manner. Shen Yuan was surprised for a moment and smiled slightly in return. The two did not talk and passed each other peacefully.
What she didn't know was that after she walked away, an auntie stopped the old lady and asked nervously, "How dare you laugh at the evil star? Aren't you afraid of getting infected with her bad luck?"
"Look at what you said, aren't those all rumors?" The aunt rolled her eyes at her. "The Liu family girl was just a little weak when she was young and was always sick, so people spread those nonsense."
"But you see she has recovered from her illness recently and is out and about more often. Has she ever had any bad luck?"
"This..." The aunt hesitated, "It seems that there is no..."
"So don't always believe everything others say. I think this girl from the Liu family is a good person."
"And I also heard from Doctor Li that this girl is very smart. She can remember all the medicinal herbs after only being taught once. She can even teach her father and two brothers when she returns home."
"I haven't seen the Liu family father and son go into the mountains early in the morning to collect herbs these days. I guess they made a lot of money!"
In fact, it was her husband who, seeing Doctor Li walking with the girl from the Liu family, was afraid that he would be unlucky, so he quietly ran to remind Doctor Li, but ended up being scolded instead.
The latter words were also spread intentionally by Doctor Li in order to help clear the little girl's reputation. So far, it seems to be working quite well.
Shen Yuan didn't interact much with the villagers, so she didn't notice the change in wind direction. Of course, even if she noticed, she wouldn't care.
At this time, she had already arrived at the door of Uncle He's house. Fortunately, the uncle had not gone out and was working at home.
After explaining the purpose of the visit, Uncle He immediately remembered: "Yuan Zhuang has the talent to make a living in this field. I wanted to take him as my apprentice, but he refused."
Chen Yuan could not help but remain silent. He could guess the reason without even thinking. The three members of the Liu family, father and son, had all given a lot to the original owner.
Human emotions are really strange. Some people turn against each other over money, while others work together in poverty.
They were all from the same village and knew each other well. Uncle He was optimistic about Liu Yuanzhuang's talent and liked his character, so he agreed immediately.
