Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

The next day.

Fang Wei and his family of four packed their equipment and ventured into the mountains.

"Dad, this is the medicine powder I prepared. I don't know if it will work."

As soon as they entered the mountains, Binbin took out the medicinal powder he had prepared and showed it to Fang Wei.

Despite Fang Wei's mediocre medical skills, he has extensive experience in expelling insects and snakes, as well as treating venomous snake bites. Years ago, Zheng Hu was bitten by a snake in the mountains, and if it weren't for Fang Wei's treatment, that guy would probably be dead by now.

Fang Wei took the medicine powder prepared by her son, looked at the color and smelled it, and was able to analyze some of the effective ingredients.

"It should work, I'll give it a try. Pan Lianhua, you all need to sprinkle the powder on your bodies too."

Fang Wei handed the medicinal powder she had prepared to Pan Lianhua, who then sprinkled it on herself and the children.

He sprinkled the powder Binbin had prepared on himself; whether it would work or not, he'd only know after trying it. Of course, he wouldn't use his wife and children as guinea pigs; he had to do it himself.

In fact, he rarely sprinkled medicine powder on himself when he went into the mountains alone. Poisonous insects and snakes were nothing to him, and there was nothing in the entire Dayao Mountains that could harm him.

As for natural disasters, that's another matter. With his keen insight, he couldn't possibly put himself in danger.

Fang Wei led the way, with Binbin and his sister following behind, and Pan Lianhua bringing up the rear.

Fortunately, this wasn't Binbin's first time in the mountains, and with the help of what they'd seen and heard, they had some experience.

The group walked at a considerable pace, with Fang Wei's personal attributes fully activated, allowing him to keep a constant eye on the movements within a 20-meter radius.

As it turned out, the medicine powder that Binbin prepared was actually quite good, only slightly inferior to the powder he prepared, and definitely usable.

"Come, sit under the tree and rest for a while. Binbin, the medicine powder you prepared is very good, but the effect can be improved a bit. When you get back, tell me about your formula, and I think it will be fine with some adjustments."

Halfway there, Fang Wei took the lead in sitting down to rest.

His main purpose was to take care of the two children. With his and Pan Lianhua's physical condition, they could reach the pine forest where the swan fungus grew in one go without needing to rest.

However, neither of the children were frail; being from the countryside, walking mountain paths was nothing to them.

Afterwards, Fang Wei praised Binbin for the medicine powder he had prepared, which made Binbin very happy. Children actually crave their father's approval and their mother's love most, and Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua did a good job in this regard.

"Third Brother, let's go, it's getting late."

After resting for half an hour, the family of four continued on their way.

When they arrived at the pine forest, they found it covered with swan mushrooms, far more than any of them could possibly harvest.

"Then let's cook first, so we'll have the energy to work when we're full."

Today's outing wasn't just about picking wild mushrooms; another important purpose was to have some fun.

The two children will be living in large cities and provinces for the next few years, but the mountains and forests are more attractive to them.

Fang Wei led them to the mountain spring, where Pan Lianhua and Xiao Jie began making bamboo rice.

He then took his son into the woods and quickly hunted several wild rabbits, bringing them back. These days, there are simply too many wild rabbits in the mountains; if it weren't for natural predators in this area, they would probably have become a plague long ago.

After cleaning the rabbit, the next step is to start a fire and roast it.

Today's picnic consisted of bamboo rice, roasted rabbit, roasted mushrooms, and a few apples.

Although the meal was simple, everyone ate it with great relish. In Xiaojie's words, it wasn't just delicious; it was imbued with the flavors of nature.

After eating and cleaning up, the family of four began picking swan mushrooms.

"Third Brother, will you come back to pick these mushrooms again?"

"Of course, I notified Songlin that night and asked him to pick some people to come with me to pick all the mushrooms so as not to waste them."

The family chatted and worked together, and quickly finished the task.

Before evening, Fang Wei and the others returned home, and they could eat swan mushrooms that night.

Sun Daoren also liked to eat wild mushrooms, and he wanted to eat swan mushrooms. However, he could only eat them during two periods of the year, each lasting about twenty days. They were not available at any time.

To allow more people to enjoy the incredibly delicious swan mushrooms, Fang Wei led dozens of young men into the mountains the next day, and they quickly harvested all the swan mushrooms from that area.

This time, Fang Wei kept 40,000 yuan and distributed the remaining 20,000 yuan to everyone.

He didn't spend a single penny of the 4 yuan; he donated it all to Project Hope.

The family is not short of money now, and he and his wife are happy to do good deeds from time to time. Sun Daoren admires the couple's carefree attitude. They don't value money. Otherwise, with Fang Wei's abilities, he would have become a billionaire long ago.

This kind of thing has a greater impact on children and is more effective than educating them a thousand times with words.

A few days passed quickly.

Fang Wei was looking at the statistical reports on the fertilization effects submitted by various units when Xiao Wang from the post office walked in happily.

"Congratulations! Your daughter has been admitted to Rongcheng Telecommunications Engineering College. That's amazing, it's an admission letter from a top university."

The good news arrived, somewhat like the traditional way of sending out celebratory messages.

Fang Wei was naturally very happy. Although it was a sure thing, it would only count if he received the admission notice.

He immediately opened the drawer, took out two packs of good cigarettes, and handed them to Xiao Wang.

"Thank you for your hard work! Here, take these two packs of cigarettes, please."

"Okay, Secretary Fang, I'd like to share in the joy too."

Xiao Wang left happily, telling everyone he met that Secretary Fang's youngest daughter had been admitted to a prestigious university.

Fang Wei quickly called his wife, and the two of them, disregarding their work, returned home.

"Xiaojie, your admission letter has arrived. Congratulations on being admitted to Rongcheng Telecommunications College as you wished."

Fang Wei handed the admission notice to his daughter, Xiao Jie, who burst into tears of joy upon seeing it.

Despite her calm demeanor, she still shed tears of joy when her wish finally came true.

Soon after receiving the news, Binbin ran back, followed by Sun Daoren. Both of them were very happy, as this was, after all, a major event for the Fang family.

"Third brother, you have to hold a banquet!" Sun Daoren always felt that the ancestors of the Fang family were spirits who had blessed the family to produce one college student after another.

The key point is that the Fang family has four children, all of whom are college students. You probably can't find another family like that in the whole county, let alone in the county.

The old Taoist priest felt that Fang Wei was blessed with great fortune. In addition to the protection of his ancestors, he led tens of thousands of villagers to become rich without regard for personal gain or loss. What else could this be but a great deed?
Therefore, he blurted out that Fang Wei should throw a banquet to celebrate.

"Yes, yes, we must have a banquet. I'll contact the canteen right away, and the sideline production brigade will send more pork, chicken, and duck over. We'll have a continuous banquet, and everyone who goes can eat and drink."

Fang Wei was overjoyed. Now that the news of his daughter being admitted to a top university had spread, he couldn't remain silent.

So he first went to the canteen to make arrangements, and then greeted the sideline production team and Tian Bingyi.

The sideline production brigade could supply pork, chicken, and duck, while Tian Bingyi could help supply vegetables and live fish. Now that they had chicken, duck, fish, and meat, a continuous feast could be set up that evening.

Then all the brigades, Yao villages, and Tian Bingyi Cooperative were notified that Secretary Fang's daughter had passed the imperial examination with flying colors, and a banquet would be held starting tonight; anyone who wanted to attend could come.

When the canteen was short-staffed, he invited several chefs from the county to help out, making sure everyone ate and drank well.

at dusk.

The large canteen was brightly lit, and the smell of cooking wafted from the kitchen could be smelled from miles away.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua stood outside the dining hall to greet the guests. The dining hall was not big enough, so even the open space outside was filled with tables and chairs.

It's Fang Wei who's capable; no one else would have such a strong mobilization ability. You can't even think about starting the banquet without preparing for several days.

"Old Zhao, you actually made it back! Thank you for your hard work! Please sit down."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinsheng had come all the way from Yangshan County. Fang Wei quickly invited him to take a seat, and once the table was full, the food and wine were immediately served.

That's how a banquet is done – you can eat as you come, and the banquet starts once a table is full.

Fang Wei didn't accept monetary gifts, but he did accept the heartfelt tokens from his fellow villagers. These were nothing more than local specialties and small, symbolic items representing their congratulations and wishing them a happy occasion; it wouldn't be right to refuse them.

After Zhao Jinsheng, Zheng Hu arrived. This guy walked to the open space in front of the main canteen, lit a string of firecrackers, and only sat down after they had all gone off with a series of crackling sounds.

"Tiger, you're so thoughtful!"

"Third brother, what are you saying? I am also very proud that my niece was admitted to a top university."

Zheng Hu gave Fang Wei a red envelope. After all, their relationship was different, and he couldn't refuse it. He could only repay the favor later.

The Fang family's dining hall was exceptionally lively at night, with firecrackers going off non-stop and guests arriving in an endless stream until very late.

the next day.

The feast continued from the morning. Guo Yongqing and Shen Yu, along with people from various brigades and those Fang Wei was somewhat familiar with, were all present. In addition, almost the entire Yao village turned out, including Tian Bingyi and Fang Mei.

Many people from various county departments also came, with Cai Tong and others traveling from other places. In the end, even Cui Yiming came.

The three-day banquet hosted countless guests, and as is customary, the cooperative presented Xiaojie with a bonus, as well as living expenses and tuition fees for four years of university.

Cui Yiming also presented a reward of 5000 yuan on behalf of the county, which is not a small amount.

"Secretary Fang, your two families have produced four college graduates. What experience do you have? Please share it with everyone."

Cui Yiming was genuinely curious. He had never felt that the other party was particularly good at educating children, so how come the Fang family's children were all so successful?

Fang Wei smiled and changed the subject, saying that he had no educational experience to offer, and that it was the child's own hard work that mattered.

To put it bluntly, he has never tutored Binbin and Xiaojie in their studies over the years; they have basically relied on the children's self-discipline.

The lively banquet ended, and Pan Lianhua went home to take stock. Wow, they'd made quite a bit of money in one go! But it was nothing to the family; as long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.

"Sister, we'd like to send Xiaojie to Chengdu ahead of schedule so she can have some fun there. Why don't you come along too?"

After returning from the provincial capital, my older sister rested in the village for a while. She had been taking care of Xiaojie while she studied, putting in a lot of effort to look after her every day, which was quite tiring.

She only returned a few days ago after the banquet, and spent the last few days helping Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua with the preparations.

At this point, the auntie's task was completed. In addition to her wages, Pan Lianhua also gave the other party a large red envelope, making the other party reluctant to leave.

After the children went to study in other places, only the two of them, their older sister, and Sun Daoren remained at home.

The older sister was extremely reluctant to part with Xiaojie, but she couldn't do anything about it as her child was going to university. Coincidentally, Pan Lianhua was thinking of taking her child to register for university, so she decided to bring the older sister along.

"Okay, I have to go to Chengdu to check it out, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

The older sister readily agreed, and after discussing it, the group decided to send Xiao Jie to Chengdu half a month earlier than planned, with Sun Daoren and Binbin also going along.

Binbin's school starts a little later, so he can go directly from Chengdu to Beijing.

With some time still remaining before the departure date, Fang Wei quickly reviewed Cai Tong's expansion plan, and then relevant company personnel began contacting several surrounding counties.

Being close to each other has its advantages. On the one hand, it makes management easier, and on the other hand, it can reduce costs.

"President Cai, I'm entrusting this matter to you. I need to go to Chengdu, which will take about twenty days. I hope there will be a conclusion when I return."

Time flies. Fang Wei asked Cai Tong to exercise some of his rights on her behalf, and then he and his family traveled to Chengdu.

Given the current inconvenient transportation, Fang Wei went all out this time, flying directly from the provincial capital with his entire family.

It was the first time Pan Lianhua and the others had ever flown on an airplane, and they were filled with excitement. This was something they would never have dared to dream of before, but now it had become a reality.

Fang Wei didn't mean to show off; she just wanted her family to broaden their horizons.

Upon arriving in Chengdu, everyone was stunned. Not only were the tourist attractions abundant, but the sheer variety of delicious food was astounding. There was a different meal every day; it would take more than two weeks to try it all.

Fang Wei still led everyone to Mount Qingcheng and Mount Emei. Sichuan is one of the birthplaces of Taoist culture, with numerous Taoist temples. With a heart full of reverence, Sun Daoren visited one Taoist temple after another.

The others were just watching the spectacle. Fang Wei and Binbin were more influenced by Taoist culture, but that was about it.

To be honest, half a month is not enough time, but Xiaojie will be studying in Chengdu for four years, so there will definitely be opportunities to come again in the future.

With the start of school approaching, Fang Wei bought her son a plane ticket without hesitation, sending him directly from Chengdu to Beijing.

Then he and Pan Lianhua took their daughter to register. It wasn't until Xiaojie was settled in her dormitory that the couple, along with their older sister and Sun Daocai, left the school.

This is quite a grand affair, because Xiaojie is the youngest daughter in the family, and the youngest is usually the most pampered. (End of Chapter)
