Within three days, a small study room was built, and Li Jin and Li Dazhuang moved the wooden case over.

Li Dazhuang said, “You can also have a wooden bed here. When the little bun becomes bigger, he can sleep here alone.”

Li Jin was drinking water to moisturize his throat, but after hearing that, he choked.

Seeing this, Li Dazhuang asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Li Jin hurriedly waved his hand, “Yes, right. You are right.”

“I feel right too.”

Li Jin didn’t intend to continue this topic, he really regarded the teenager as his brother and friend.

A child as old as Qin Mu Wen, still in high school in modern times, sleeping in the same bed with his eldest brother. 

There was absolutely nothing going on.

In short, his current task was to raise two children well. 

He needs to feed the small child and for the older child, he not only needs to feed him, but he must also make him more cheerful. 

The first step was not to make the young boy afraid of himself.

Li Jin felt that this aspect was getting better and better now.

One day later, Li Dazhuang and Li Zhuzi made a kang bed from bricks. In winter, as long as there was a fire in the kitchen, they could heat the bed and make the house warm.

After all the repair work was done, Li Jin made an appointment with Chen Xi Ran at the end of the month and invited him as a guest at his newly repaired home.

From next month, Li Jin will go to the clinic for an internship.

Li Jin also told the teenager about this. 

Hearing this, Qin Mu Wen squeezed out two small dimples and said, “Well, I will make more delicious dishes.”

Li Jin was very interested in the teenager’s reaction, so he did not stop him.

Anyway, there were only three people, and mainly four dishes would be needed, so it wouldn’t be very tiring.

On the day of hosting the guest, Li Jin first went to the mountain to collect herbs. As he expected, the medical herbs at the foot of the mountain were almost finished.

He climbed up a bit, and he could still dig a lot of medicinal herbs.

Li Jin thought it might rain the next time he came here, so he just picked more herbs this time.

In the end, Li Jin forcibly carried the overfilled bamboo baskets on his back.

Although the herbs on the side of the hill looked better and more valuable, he didn’t plan to collect them for the betterment of his arms and legs.

For this amount of medicinal herbs, Li Jin estimated that he could get at least one silver tael.

Before going home, he first went to the medical hall to sell herbal medicines. 

Li Jin said, “Doctor Wu, this is the last time I have picked herbs. I won’t pick them in the future.”

Doctor Wu calculated the price for him, and said, “Alright, with so many herbs you picked, it’s more than enough for the recent need.”

The medical hall naturally had other channels to collect medicines, but these were industry secrets.

In the end, Doctor Wu carefully calculated the price, and said, “It’s 1,360 wens in total.”

Listening to the amount of money, Li Jin felt a little heartbroken to give up collecting medicine.

But the problem was that the medicinal herbs at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain were almost collected. 

If you want to pick up the medicine in the future, you have to climb up high. 

The slippery roads in the rainy season cause many accidents and the chances of encountering wolves and wild boars are also there. 

Calculating the high probability of an accident, Li Jin could only give up this money-making channel.

Doctor Wu gave Li Jin one tael of silver, and then he counted three hundred and sixty wens and gave it to Li Jin.

“Today I won’t keep little friend Li, you are welcome to come here tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Li Jin responded with a smile.

Then he put the silver and copper money into the purse that the boy had sewed for him, and bought two cuts of raw-edged paper and a cut of bamboo-leaf paper to practice calligraphy.

Because of his recent purchases, the shopkeeper had recognized him.

“These two pieces of ink are just a small gift to my little brother. The little brother can finish the two cuts of paper so soon, I wish you a title on the merit list.”

Li Jin said, “Thank you, boss.”

Li Jin spent a total of two hundred and eighty wens on bamboo-leaf paper with two hundred and forty wens on rough-edged paper.

After Li Jin paid the money, he came out of the bookshop and saw Chen Xi Ran holding at least five or six meat buns, squatting on the side of the road to eat.
