At night, when she went home and sat on the kang to eat, Yue'er couldn't help but think: "There must be a lot of good things on this mountain in the summer, and then we will go into the mountain together." There are wild vegetables that can be pickled, and mushrooms can be pickled and dried, so we will eat better next winter. ”

Su Tong nodded: "At that time, I will be able to let you raise a child." ”

"Say this again" Yue'er blushed and glanced at him, but she also quietly thought in her heart, whether she really wanted to raise a child by then.

I entered the mountain again, and this time Su Zhi fought with less meat on his back, and also carried some more fur back. This time, the meat was not sold in the town, so it was left at home to eat. He went to the town and sold his furs, and got nearly seven taels of silver. Su Tong calculated, plus the rest of his own family, it was almost enough for ten taels.

When he returned to the village, he heard from the people on the ox cart that the whole village would fish together for a few days, and that every family would not have to bring a net, and that they would just go to work and exert their strength.

This time, Yue'er didn't follow her to the town, and Su Zhi came back and told her: "Tomorrow the village will get up early to go fishing, and I will tell them that I will go to dig ice before dawn." ”

"Then I'll get up early to cook for you, and if you can't come back at noon, I'll bring you food."

"There are many mothers-in-law in the village, you can go with them, just bring a few cakes, build a big stove on the ice, and stew fish directly with everyone. I just want you to taste it, and they all say that the stew on the river is fragrant. ”

Su Tong didn't feel it at all, he was like a country man now, all he was talking about all day long was how to live this day. How can you make the family earn an extra tael of silver, how much milk does the sheep produce in a day?

Yue'er is also thinking about this, so she went to the village to visit the house and ask whose pigs would give birth in the first month. told Su Tong that he would catch two piglets and raise them back, and then kill one and sell one for the New Year.

Seeing that it is under the end of the year, Yue'er is not idle at home. Make new clothes, new bedding, and go to town to sell couplets. But Su Zhi was discouraged as soon as he said it, the cost of that thing paper is not low, and many people in these ten miles and eight towns don't buy it at all in order to save money.

There were at least one or two literate people in every village, and at the end of the year, every household prepared their own big red paper and went to ask the literate people to help write couplets.

Yue'er took the prey stored at home and went to the east and west to exchange things with people. Let's change some soybeans today, and some kidney beans tomorrow. Changing two roosters also made people kill Lisuo, but she didn't suffer at all, and even cleaned up the chicken feathers.

I'm washing it up now, and I'm making a wool mat.

Su Zhi's clothes are becoming more and more simple, the cotton jackets are made very thick by Yue'er, and the big cotton pants are the same. The cotton soles are fine, and the high-top cotton shoes are not cold when worn into the mountains. Yue'er was still not satisfied, so she went to hire someone to make boots for him out of her own fur.

These two people are busy working now, and their little days are changing day by day. In addition to Laneige taking the dead all day long, you have to grab something to eat.

got up early and went to milk the goat, and when she came back, Yue'er boiled it, and took Laneige with her, and each of them had a big bowl. Every time she was full of food and drink, Yue'er shouted: "You can't eat like this, you're too fat to work." ”

"If you can't do it, you won't do it, and there is no shortage of silver in the house, so you will buy clothes, and the house will not be bright, and it hurts your eyes." Su Zhi is a pet, but he works hard to earn money.

After arriving on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he went to the town several times to sell prey and furs, and from here until the New Year, he earned more than 20 taels and nearly 30 taels of silver.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, he took Yue'er to the town, bought a mule and a mule cart, and after the help of Brother Wang, he spent a total of 14 taels of silver.

There is no shortage of food and drink at home now, and the clothes are warm, Su Tong took Yue'er to the mule cart and happily took her home for the New Year.

When he got home, he was not idle, and he did his own work to trim the mule cart. Yue'er spread the roe deer skin on the straw mat, and put a wool mat on it, and the two of them were happy, circling the mule cart.

After a while, they had to go up and sit together for a while, and Su Zhi experienced the happiness that he didn't experience when he was a prince.

"Buying this mule cart has cost half of the family's silver, and you can wait for me to go up the mountain after the New Year, and it will be no problem for you to earn a blue brick house this year."

Yue'er lay in the car, pillowed her head on his lap, reached out and touched his somewhat rough face, and said distressedly: "Forget it, this adobe house is warm in winter and cool in summer, I don't want a blue brick and tile house." When spring comes, I want to open a few acres of land, and the villagers say that I can be exempted from taxes for two years if I open up a wasteland. ”

"This land is close to the river, but there is no rice plant, I want to try to open a few acres of paddy fields to grow rice."

Hearing Su Zhi say this, Yue'er said: "Hire people to do it, and one person will be paid 30 wen a day, and you will command it." If there is enough labor, a few more acres will be opened, and all the dry paddy fields will be opened. ”

The two of them were thinking about the affairs of the family, and Yue'er suddenly looked at the west wing and asked Su Zhi: "I haven't seen Laneige for a few days, have you seen her?" ”

"What I see her do." Su Tong was about to feed the mules and didn't even raise his head.

Yue'er felt that something was wrong, so she got up and said, "I'd better go over and take a look, don't have anything wrong, we won't be able to tell you at that time." ”

When the door of the west wing was opened, a strong musty smell and a sour smell that had not been ventilated for a long time came to my face. There was an even more disgusting smell, the gong bucket I don't know how many days had not been emptied, although there was a lid on it, but the smell could not be stopped.

Lanzhi lay on the kang and covered the quilt very tightly, and she only raised her eyelids when Yue'er came in, and then she lay there quietly without any reaction.

"What's wrong with you, are you sick?" Yue'er didn't want to go inside, so she stood at the door and asked.

After a long time, Yue'er thought that she would not speak, and only then did she hear her voice say in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Find a doctor for me." ”

Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask anything, but Laneige didn't look like she could answer, so she turned around and went out and closed the door.

"You come with me, I'll put the futon on the kang to cover it hot, and it's not cold in the car." As soon as Su Tong heard that he was asked to go to the doctor, he refused to go by himself when he said anything. Yue'er coaxed her for a while, but it was useless, so Su only pulled her and went into the house to put on a big jacket.

After entering the east room and closing the door, Yue'er took out the big jacket that Su Zhi wore on the door, and said to him: "You go by yourself, she seems to be not lightly ill, and the house has to be cleaned up, otherwise the doctor will not be able to enter." ”

"Just open the door and let it go, if there is anything to clean up for her, you can go with me." Su Tong said and went to get Yue'er's coat.

Yue'er stopped him and lowered her voice and said, "No, she doesn't know how long it hasn't been poured out, and the house is full of smell." ”

Su Tong angrily put Yue'er's clothes on the kang, he was so annoyed that there was a Laneige at home. Quickly walked out of the door and said, "I'm going to pour it, don't do it." ”

Yue'er didn't want him to pour a bucket for Laneige, so the two of them argued in the kitchen for a while, and in the end, Su Zhi went.

Yue'er went in and probably cleaned up, the smell of the house was about the same, and the incense was lit, and the two of them went out together.
