Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 88 Teaching Shuang'er to Recognize Herbs

Stepping out of the academy gate,

Lu Qingqing happily said to Lin Yunlan:

Yunlan,

I never expected to run into Master Zhang today.

What a coincidence! Our children are lucky.

Lin Yunlan responded with a smile:

"Yes, Master Zhang is an upright person and a rigorous teacher."

The children are fortunate to be taught by him.

Lu Qingqing nodded:

"I hope the children will cherish this rare opportunity."

Study hard.

Lin Yunlan held Lu Qingqing's hand:

"Don't worry, our children are all well-behaved and sensible."

They won't let us down.

Lu Qingqing gently leaned on Lin Yunlan's shoulder:

"I hope so."

At this moment, Shuang'er tugged at Lu Qingqing's sleeve:

"Mother, Shuang'er is a little hungry."

Lu Qingqing affectionately stroked Shuang'er's head:

"Our Shuang'er is hungry!"

How about Daddy and I buy you some delicious food, Shuang'er?

Shuang'er clapped her hands and said happily:

"Okay, okay, thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad!"

Lin Yunlan said with a smile:

"Then let's go check out the market up ahead."

Upon arriving at the market,

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan led Shuang'er to select food from various stalls.

Lu Qingqing picked up a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to Shuang'er:

"Shuang'er, try this."

Shuang'er took a bite of the candied hawthorn, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter:

"It's so sweet, Mom."

Lin Yunlan bought another bag of pastries:

"Shuang'er, take this one too."

Shuang'er said happily:

"Shuang'er is so happy today."

"My parents bought Shuang'er so many delicious things."

Lu Qingqing smiled and kissed Shuang'er's cheek:

"As long as Shuang'er is happy, her parents are willing to do anything."

Lin Yunlan also smiled and said:

"From now on, we'll buy Shuang'er delicious food often."

Shuang'er skipped and hopped along in the middle.

Holding Lu Qingqing's hand with one hand and Lin Yunlan's hand with the other:

"When Shuang'er grows up, she will buy lots and lots of delicious food for her parents."

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, your parents know that Shuang'er is a good child."

Lin Yunlan echoed:

"Yes, Shuang'er is the most sensible."

Shuang'er raised her little face, looking proud:

"Of course, I will always be good."

Lu Qingqing said to Lin Yunlan:

"Now that the children are all in school..."

Da Ya and Er Ya have both learned embroidery.

Only Shuang'er hasn't been arranged yet.

What should we have Shuang'er learn?

Shuang'er overheard her parents' conversation.

He said with a grin:

"Mother, Shuang'er wants to study medicine."

I want to heal and save lives like my mother.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan were both taken aback.

Then Lu Qingqing asked gently:

"Shuang'er, studying medicine is very hard work."

Aren't you afraid?

Shuang'er's face was resolute:

"Mother, Shuang'er is not afraid."

Shuang'er must be as formidable as her mother.

Lin Yunlan smiled and patted Shuang'er's head:

"Alright, since Shuang'er has such aspirations..."

"Then your father and mother support you."

Lu Qingqing nodded and said:

"Then Mother will teach Shuang'er well from now on."

Shuang'er jumped up excitedly:

"That's great, thank you, Mom and Dad."

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a smile.

The two then took Shuang'er to a bookstore and bought a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Lu Qingqing planned to teach Shuang'er herself.

First, let Shuang'er learn to recognize herbs.

back home,

Lu Qingqing then spread the book out on the table.

Pointing to the herb pattern above,

Patiently explain to Shuang'er:

"Shuang'er, look at this herb."

It's called honeysuckle, and it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.

Shuang'er happily pointed to the honeysuckle in the basket on her back and said:

"Mother, I recognize this honeysuckle."

This herb is used in our herbal tea.

Lu Qingqing looked at Shuang'er with surprise and delight:

"Shuang'er is so clever."

"Then tell me, what kind of herb is this?"

Shuang'er answered confidently:

"This is mint, which has a cooling and heat-relieving effect."

Lu Qingqing praised with a smile:

"Shuang'er remembers so clearly. Let me test you again."

What about this one?

Shuang'er tilted her head and looked at it, then said after a moment's thought:

"Mother, I'm not so sure about that."

It looks a bit like a chrysanthemum, but not quite.

Lu Qingqing patiently explained:

"This is wild chrysanthemum, and its effects are similar to those of regular chrysanthemum."

It can clear heat and detoxify.

Shuang'er suddenly realized:

"Oh, I see. Mother, I'll remember that."

Lin Yunlan watched the two of them from the side.

His face was full of a relieved smile.

Lu Qingqing continued:

"This herb is plantain, which can promote urination and relieve strangury."

"Shuang'er, you must remember what they look like and what their effects are."

Shuang'er answered obediently:

"Mother, I've remembered."

at this time,

Two little wolf cubs, Diandian and Doudou, ran up to Lu Qingqing.

They said happily:

"Mother, Mother, we found ginseng in the back mountain."

Lu Qingqing stood up in surprise:

"Really? You must be mistaken."

Dot shook its little head:

"No, Mother, we saw it clearly."

DouDou nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Mother, the ginseng is growing very well."

Lu Qingqing looked at Shuang'er happily and said:

"Shuang'er, Mother needs to go up the mountain."

"Do you want to come with your mother? She'll teach you to identify medicinal herbs."

Shuang'er jumped up excitedly:

"Yes, Mother, I want to go!"

Lu Qingqing patted Shuang'er's head:

"Then let's get ready and set off."

Lin Yunlan said from the side:

"Qingqing, be careful going up the mountain."

I'm waiting for you at home.

Lu Qingqing nodded:

"Don't worry, we'll be right back."

The mother and daughter quickly finished packing.

They took Dian Dian and Dou Dou and headed towards the back mountain.

along the way,

Lu Qingqing introduced the various plants along the roadside to Shuang'er.

"Shuang'er, look at this one with little purple flowers."

It's called Viola yedoensis, and it can clear heat and detoxify.

Shuang'er listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

After a while

They arrived at the place that Dian Dian and Dou Dou had mentioned.

Lu Qingqing examined it carefully.

It has been confirmed to be a ginseng of good quality.

Lu Qingqing carefully dug out the ginseng.

Handed to Shuang'er:

"Shuang'er, take a closer look, this is ginseng."

Shuang'er curiously leaned forward:

"Mother, the ginseng looks so strange."

Lu Qingqing explained with a smile:

"Ginseng is a precious medicinal herb; you must recognize it when you see it in the future."

Shuang'er asked, "What's the use of ginseng, Mother?"

Lu Qingqing answered patiently:

"Shuang'er, ginseng is a highly nourishing medicinal herb."

It can greatly replenish vital energy, restore pulse and prevent collapse, and invigorate the spleen and lungs.

It promotes the production of body fluids and nourishes the blood, calms the mind and improves intelligence.

Shuang'er nodded as if she understood but not quite:

"Mother, does that mean if I eat ginseng, I'll become very strong?"

Lu Qingqing smiled:

"It's not something you can eat just anywhere."

It depends on your physical condition.

Using it incorrectly can actually be counterproductive.

Shuang'er blinked:

"Mother, what kind of person can eat ginseng?"

Lu Qingqing patted Shuang'er's head:

"Like those who are particularly weak..."

Or people who have recovered from a serious illness

The doctor diagnosed that ginseng was needed for treatment before I could take it.

"You mustn't touch Shuang'er carelessly."

Shuang'er said obediently:

"Mom, I'll remember."

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Shuang'er is wonderful, from now on..."

Shuang'er will learn about more herbs.

Shuang'er received praise from Lu Qingqing.

He chuckled.

Lu Qingqing looked at Shuang'er's adorable appearance,

My heart is filled with warmth.

She gently took Shuang'er's hand and said:

"Let's go, let's look around somewhere else."

Who knows, we might even find other treasures.

Shuang'er replied cheerfully:

"Great! Shuang'er loves it when Mother teaches her to recognize herbs!"
