Chapter 011: Livelihood

After half a month, Xiao Pei's poison had been cleared, and he began to get out of bed and walk around. She recovered well, leaving no stiffness in her limbs or any pain after-effects. Xiao Yu stopped the recipe she used before and gave her another way to recuperate. And there are no things at home, and they are even more stretched.

Xiao Yu got up early to do boxing and exercise, and was thinking about whether he had to go to the city when Hao Jun came.

Hao Jun took a break that day, so he went to buy some rice noodles and pork early in the morning, and hired a car to go to Niujiao Village. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Little brother, I have come to see you!" ”

Xiao Yu and the others hurriedly went out.

Xiao Pei gave Hao Jun a big salute: "I haven't thanked Gongzi for his kindness." ”

Hao Jun couldn't dodge it, and he was ashamed to return the salute: "Thanks to the little brother's elixir, it's not my credit." I'm just a rough man in the countryside, how can I afford a girl to call a son, just call my name directly. ”

"I will never forget Ayu's kindness." Xiao Peirouwan's face was straight, and she said, "Childe has worked hard for my detoxification, and he takes care of Ah Yu and Yucheng, this great gift is deserved." ”

Hao Jun scratched his head and said, "It's just a gesture." It's great to see Miss Xiao now, and it's also a joy to see her. ”

Xiao Yu and the others let Hao Jun into the house, took the things he brought to the kitchen, and boiled water for guests.

"I'm just going to go into the city to grab medicine and buy some things for my family, if my eldest brother doesn't bother, I might as well ask you to accompany me." Xiao Yu said apologetically.

"What's the trouble with this." Hao Jun said heartily, "Let's go?" ”

"There's no hurry." Xiao Yu said busily.

It takes money to go into the city to grab medicine and buy things, and the silver left over from the previous medicine purchase has been bought by a blacksmith for pots and pans in the past half a month, and there is nothing left for a long time. You can't always ask Hao Jun, who is shopping together, to advance money.

Xiao Yu returned to the east room, took out the box that had been stored in the money village from under the bed, fumbled for a while, and finally opened it.

It is full of pearls and jade, all of which are fine jadeite pearls and gemstones, which are very dazzling. These are all precious jewelry left to her by her mother, and any jadeite gemstone set on a hairpin ring is worth tens of millions. Because the silver ticket is inconvenient to exchange in various places, and the silver is heavy, these things are small and expensive, and they are suitable for storage and emergency.

Now Xiao Yu looked a little worried.

It's too ostentatious to take a hairpin out like this, and it's covetous. If you accidentally get targeted by a villain, it's troublesome. And this is left by the mother, and it may be related to certain things, and she does not want to use it unless she has to.

It's also strange that I didn't think it through at the beginning, so it's easier to sell some ordinary ornaments for pawns.

Xiao Yu searched for a long time, but had no choice but to dismantle a golden hairpin inlaid with red sapphire and jade pearls, leaving only bare gold. There was also a concave mark on the hairpin, and for the sake of prudence, she sharpened it with a stone.

The money was ready, Xiao Yu didn't delay any longer, and immediately entered the city with Hao Jun. Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei stayed at home.

When the two arrived at Yong'an County, they first went to the silver building and exchanged the golden hairpin for thirty-five taels of silver. Xiao Yu took ten taels to grab medicine and buy items, and gave two taels to Hao Jun to help buy swords, bows, and arrows.

"What do you buy these for? Ready to let Yucheng practice martial arts? Hao Jun said curiously.

Xiao Yu nodded and said casually: "Learn some martial arts to defend yourself." ”

At that moment, the two went to buy things separately, and agreed to meet at the north city gate after the purchase. Originally, Xiao Yu hoped that Hao Jun would go back to the General's Mansion directly, and she hired a car to go back to Niujiao Village alone. Hao Jun was a little worried, and he must send her back.

Time was a little tight, so both of them bought it quickly and rushed home.

In addition to catching medicine, Xiao Yu also bought stone bowls, medicine pestles and other concocted medicinal materials, medicine hoes and other tools for collecting medicine, in addition to clothes and some daily salt, oil, tea vinegar, and of course, rice and flour coarse grains.

It was getting late when I got home. Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng were stunned when they saw the bow and arrows that Hao Jun took out. Xiao Yu didn't explain much, and hurriedly sorted out some food, so that Hao Jun could return to the city after eating.

Under Xiao Yu's careful conditioning, Xiao Pei's body gradually improved.

At the same time, Xiao Yu also asked Xiao Yucheng to get up early every morning to exercise with her to strengthen his body and practice martial arts and self-defense. Xiao Yucheng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after seeing outstanding results in carrying water and firewood, he was more active in morning exercise than Xiao Yu.

In their free time, they removed the grass in the yard, planted the vegetable seedlings given by the seventh aunt, and renovated the house inside and out, prepared the necessary household goods, and raised a few chickens. This small courtyard finally looks like it.

The four seasons change from summer to cold, and it is more than half a year in a hurry.

The three of them settled in Niujiao Village with peace of mind, and occasionally walked back and forth with the people in the village. No one came to the door.

During this period of time, Xiao Yu just recuperated Xiao Pei, usually picked medicine and practiced martial arts, planted vegetables and fed chickens, and then lived peacefully.

Of course, it is Uncle Zhou's family who is more intimate with his sisters and brothers, after all, they have always had a good relationship and live close. Yanzi and Huzi came over from time to time, and saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng practicing martial arts, and went up to join in the fun.

It is often Xiao Pei who does needlework, Xiao Yu who faces medicinal herbs, and Xiao Yucheng who takes swallows and tigers to catch fish and shrimp, touch snails, dig wild vegetables, and improve food.

On this day, the three sisters and brothers were sorting out the medicinal materials in the yard, and Xiao Pei said with some worry: "I have nothing to do like now, I don't have any income, I will always sit and eat nothing, and I have to think of a way out to make a living." ”

Xiao Pei glanced at Xiao Yucheng, and felt that this young brother couldn't count on it, so he turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Ah Yu, do you have any ideas?" Say it and add it up. ”

Xiao Yu was concentrating on peeling the medicine, and when she heard the mention of her, she raised her head: "Huh? Sister, what did you say? ”

Xiao Pei shook his head helplessly: "Ah Yu, why are you always in a daze?" I asked if there was a good way to earn some money to support the family. ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to go into the mountains to collect medicine." ”

……

As soon as the sky was hazy, Xiao Yu got up. She dressed up in a coarse caftan brown, tied up her bun, and tidied up neatly before going out of the room to the kitchen.

Xiao Pei had already lit a fire and was stalling wild vegetable cakes.

Since Xiao Pei recovered almost last year, she has been cooking almost all of the house. Xiao Yu soon discovered that she was a very good cook, and was overjoyed at the moment, and immediately asked the blacksmith to build a wok that did not exist now, and listed the recipes he remembered for her to make.

Xiao Pei really lived up to expectations, not only did he learn quickly but also made delicious dishes, no worse than those celebrity chefs. Although Xiao Pei felt a little distressed about spending some money on cooking utensils and buying ingredients, Xiao Yu had no doubt that Xiao Pei could earn more money through this craft.

"Sister early."

Xiao Yu greeted with a sweet smile and washed up. The brushing is a flattened wicker, and the tooth powder is prepared by herself, so she is still used to it.

Xiao Yucheng came in and carried the bucket and walked out, he got up early and had already washed it. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng went to the well to carry water first.

Fill the clay jar and it's already dawn.
