Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Chu Xintian was about to wash the dishes, Yongjing picked up the bamboo basket and said to Chu Xintian, "Mother, I want to go to the western hillside to pick mushrooms and hunt hares, and when I come back in the afternoon, we will take it to the market to exchange some rice and noodles." ”

Yongjing understood that the bowls of rice at home couldn't last even a few days even if they boiled gruel, so he was in a hurry.

"Jing'er, you can't go, you're my mother's only son." Chu Xintian shook her head, she couldn't watch such a well-behaved child go into danger.

In early autumn, there are not many mushrooms or anything, and hares are not something that a child like Yongjing can catch.

In fact, those pumpkins in the backyard can not only exchange for a few bowls of rice, but also fill the stomach, but the weather is about to get cold, if you want to survive the winter, you have to make more money and stock up on food.

Moreover, Chu Xintian had already planned it.

"Jing'er, you look after the house, my mother will go to Beishan to have a look in a while."

Before her words fell, she was interrupted by Yongjing, "Mother, do you dare to go to Beishan?" There are too many fierce beasts in the mountains, my father is so powerful, and my mother is so thin, if something happens to you, I ...... What should I do? ”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and his eyes were full of tears, but he tried desperately to keep it from falling.

The death of the third child left an indelible psychological shadow on Yongjing, of course he was afraid that something would happen to Chu Xintian and he would become an orphan.

Although Chu Xintian is not as weak as Yongjing's impression at the moment, she still has to estimate Yongjing's feelings.

Thinking of this, Chu Xintian immediately hugged Yongjing into his arms and stroked his hair gently, "Jing'er, don't cry, my mother will definitely be fine, don't worry, my mother assures you, okay?" ”

After hearing Chu Xintian's words, Yongjing raised his head, "Mother, don't mention Beishan in the future, is it okay?" I'm scared! ”

Yongjing's words made Chu Xintian in a dilemma.

In Chu Xintian's opinion, Beishan contains countless treasures, and if she wants to get money, she must go. As for those fierce beasts or something, Chu Xintian thought that as long as he didn't go into the deep mountains, there should be none. Even if the fierce beast reaches the foot of the mountain, she is also a martial artist and should be able to protect herself.

Just when she didn't know how to go to Beishan, she only heard a woman's voice outside:

"Yongjing, are you at home?"

This shout can be regarded as rescuing Chu Xintian.

She hurriedly got up and walked outside, "I'm home!" ”

Outside the courtyard gate, there was a young woman, about twenty years old, Chu Xintian knew, this person was Niu Li, the daughter-in-law of the village head cow bricklayer.

The relationship between the third child and the cow bricklayer was good, and the Niu Li family naturally got close to Chu Xintian.

When he was in the third child, Niu Li often came to the house to comfort Chu Xintian.

At this moment, Niu Li came to fry Chu Xintian, wanting to ask her if she would go to the western slope to dig wild vegetables, and by the way, she was distracted.

As soon as Chu Xintian heard the intention of this Niu Li clan, he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately had an idea.

Chu Xintian picked up a bamboo basket, then squatted down and said to Yongjing, "Jing'er, my mother and your aunt Niu will go to the west slope to dig wild vegetables, you will take care of the house, okay?" ”

Yongjing was originally worried that Chu Xintian insisted on going to Beishan, but at this moment, she heard that she was going to Xishanpo, and she was going with Aunt Niu, so she agreed.

"Okay, mother, then you can go out for a walk, don't be too tired, the pumpkin in our backyard can also be satisfied."

Yongjing said, looked up at Niu Li and said, "Auntie, I've caused you trouble, thank you!" ”

Niu Li looked at Yongjing's well-behaved and sensible appearance, and couldn't help but smile, "Good boy, you are really sensible, rest assured, my aunt will take good care of your mother!" ”

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" Chu Xintian said goodbye to Yongjing, and pulled Niu Li out of the courtyard gate.

Within a few steps, Niu Li found that there was a problem:

"Yongjing damn it, the west slope should go to the peach forest, why are you taking me north? Wrong, right? ”
