The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 51-52

Chapter 51

After the busy farming season, more and more people entered the mountains. This year, the children didn't have to go deep into the mountains, but they still ran around all day long.

After the mountain goods collection in the Yun family was almost over, they started digging for Chinese yam. There were several places that hadn't been discovered yet from the previous years, so there were still some to dig this year.

Because Zhao Yueji had to be busy at home with dismantling and washing quilts, as well as sewing winter clothes, she assigned the task of digging Chinese yam to the children.

Yun Xiaolu was not strong enough to be of much help in this kind of work, so she simply continued her herbal digging business within the family's sight.

"In a few days, I want to go to the city," Yun Haisheng had a way to sell the herbs left by Yun Da. This time, he planned to go and see for himself. When Yun Da left, he said that he had taken care of the relationships there, so he could directly go and find his old platoon leader in the city.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Dad, let me go with you."

Yun Haisheng had limited literacy and didn't understand much about medicinal herbs. Yun Shuang had been learning from Zhao Yueji for the past few years and had grasped a lot of knowledge. In addition, she had been interacting with people at the hospital for a year, so she was the most knowledgeable person in the family when it came to pharmaceutical markets.

Surprised by his second daughter's words, Yun Haisheng looked at her and said, "Yun Shuang, you've always been delicate and shy, without much initiative. But now, you're not afraid to travel far and interact with strangers?"

Feeling embarrassed by her father's gaze, Yun Shuang knew her own soft and unsociable nature. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to avoid becoming a teacher and stay at home. But she had already grown up, she was already eighteen years old, and she couldn't hide by her parents' side like a child every day.

"Okay, since you want to go, it's good. It's also good for me to have someone accompany me to avoid being taken advantage of," Yun Haisheng wouldn't discourage her when the child had positive changes.

Upon hearing Yun Shuang's words, Xu Nianyun was also surprised, but more importantly, she felt relieved. Her second cousin was really different from before, becoming much braver and more confident. Indeed, people need to see and experience different things in order to develop and improve themselves.

Yun Haisheng was going to the city, so Zhao Yueji stopped her work and started preparing the things that needed to be taken.

"Fry some hazelnuts, then bring some walnuts and chestnuts. Also, bring a pack of dried mushrooms for Yun Da's comrade. We might need to trouble him in the future." The items were readily available, but when giving them as gifts, it was always necessary to select the good ones.

"After you sell the medicine, go buy some fine cotton fabric. I need to sew cotton clothes and quilts for the children," Zhao Yueji had gone to several supply and marketing cooperatives but hadn't found any satisfactory fabric. The fabric coupons they received this year had been accumulating unused, so there should be more options in the city.

"Okay, I'll take care of the shopping. But Yun Yi should also be prepared, so don't worry," Yun Haisheng looked at his wife who had been working overtime and felt a bit sorry for her. Working late at night strains the eyes the most.

Early the next morning, Yun Haisheng and his two daughters dressed in their best clothes, carrying bags with prepared introduction letters, set off for the commune. They had to take a bus to the county town first, and then transfer to another bus to the city, hoping to find Yun Da's old platoon leader before tonight.
