Ye Xinyan shouted at the seller in the West Market, as long as there was someone who asked the price, she tried her best to persuade and reduce the price, and finally wanted to sell one or two things.

Fortunately, their things are all legitimate, not tattered and unusable, and the price is indeed pitiful, usually Ye Xinyan says a few more words, and people buy it. At the end, Ye Xinyan will also ask, if you want furniture or something, you can lead people over to see it, the price is very cheap.

For four or five days, Mama Jin prepared dry food and clothes at home, Qi Younian repaired a wheelbarrow, and Ye Xinyan used these few days to sell out the daily necessities and furniture of the two families.

The people in the courtyard were extremely surprised by Ye Xinyan's approach, this little daughter-in-law was really capable, and she was able to sell all the old things in the family. Later, people in front of and behind the house came to see things and ask about the price, and some people who liked them also bought a lot.

Qi You's things in the house, including furniture, pots and spoons, and even clothes and bedding, plus the things that Ye Xinyan lived in and purchased, there were a lot of things, and they were sold for more than 500 wen in total.

But for more than 500 yuan, it can sell dozens of catties of mixed noodles, enough for the three of them to eat for more than ten days.

Everything is ready to stop, and it is almost the end of the first month.

In order not to say goodbye to the neighbors and cause sadness, early in the morning, before dawn, simple items were tied to the wheelbarrow, the three of them were dressed neatly, and they went out of the yard before they got up.

Qi Younian pushed the wheelbarrow out of the alley for a long time, before he stopped again, and by the morning light that had just emerged, he looked back at the dilapidated and mottled streets and alleys for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Let's go." ”

Ye Xinyan didn't ask much, but just stopped and looked back with Qi Younian's steps, listened to the old man's greeting, and then walked forward.

Yes, unlike the two of them, Grandpa Qi has lived here for more than ten years, and he still has a deep affection for this place.

They rushed out of the east gate at the first wave of the city gate and went all the way in the direction of Yuyuan County.

This trip is different from Ye Xinyan and Mama Jin, who are always accompanied by Qi Younian, a grandfather, and there is a lot less trouble on the road. In addition, Qi Younian has also been away for many years, and he has traveled to many places, so he is more experienced on the road.

The three of them were serious old and young women and children, and along the way, they not only relied on walking, but also pushed a car, and they couldn't go far in a day.

Qi Younian planned the journey, and according to the speed at which they walked, it would take two months. In Ye Xinyan's opinion, Old Man Qi is not forgiving after all, and he can't be in a hurry when he travels, so the estimate for these two months is still too little.

Pushing a wheelbarrow is also a skill, and this job is mainly done by Grandpa Qi. In order to reduce Grandpa Qi's burden a little, Ye Xinyan studied seriously for a few days, and gradually took over to push a section to let Grandpa breathe a sigh of relief.

In the beginning, the three of them were tired for a day, and they couldn't walk 20 miles. After a period of adaptation, seven or eight days, the three of them gradually got used to the daily trek. Even so, at the end of the day, I could only walk more than 30 miles. Although he walked very slowly, Ye Xinyan still tried her best to persuade Qi Younian to arrange a good time to rest, and did not need to change the distance during the rest time.

Qi You is old, and he is still the main laborer of the cart, and Mama Jin is not young, Ye Xinyan is really afraid that they will fall ill because of the fatigue of the journey. As for their little bit of silver, even if they make a compact arrangement, there is not much left, and if they use it to see a doctor, they are afraid that they will soon run out.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and whenever there is a break on the road, Ye Xinyan will dig some wild vegetables on the grass beside the road to enrich the boring meals of eating dry food on the road.

Now there are dandelions that have just emerged in the field, with an egg, boiled into wild vegetable soup, and together with the nest, you can supplement a variety of trace elements and dietary fiber, which is also a healthy diet.

Mama Jin and Grandpa Qi didn't understand Ye Xinyan's approach, and it was said that she was digging wild vegetables to save food expenses. But what is the purpose of always eating eggs without stopping?

In the concept of the two of them, wild vegetables are things that can only be used to deceive the stomach if they can't eat, and they should not be eaten seriously. Eggs are different, they are not something that the poor can afford.

But the division of labor when they set off, the food on the road was handled by Ye Xinyan, although the food and drink handled by Ye Xinyan did not taste good, it is an indisputable fact that they were all in good health, and the cost of diet was indeed not much.

The two of them were puzzled, Qi Younian was an old man, but he just turned around in his heart, so he didn't think about it anymore. Mama Jin was not, she had doubts in her heart, so she naturally asked.

Ye Xinyan replied with a smile: "Wild vegetables are just vegetables that are not as good as daily consumption, but the effect is not ambiguous at all. Just like dandelions, they are not only edible, but also have medicinal properties. ”

Ye Xinyan has her way of thinking.

Eating some wild vegetables can not only save money, but also be good for the body, which is much better than just nibbling on mixed noodles and wowotou. As for eggs, it's just two cents a piece, and one a day is in the wild vegetable soup, and it's only sixty cents a month, which is much cheaper than taking medicine.

…………

In this way, after more than 20 days, the three of them walked less than a third of the way.

Although Ye Xinyan kept comforting Qi Younian and Mama Jin on the surface, she was also a little worried about this journey in her heart. How long and how long will this take to arrive? In other words, they are not learning from the scriptures after all, and they do not have such a strong belief support.

What's more, if they go on like this, when they reach Yudong, will they be as tired as beggars? At that time, how embarrassed was Grandpa Qi in front of the villagers? The ragged, yellow-skinned ...... returning to their hometowns must be greeted with sympathy, pity and disdain, right?

She doesn't care, but at Grandpa Qi's age, he has been away from home for many years and has to accept such a gaze, which really makes her feel unhappy.

These days, the three of them have spent nearly eight taels of silver. If they continue like this, when they return to Grandpa Qi's hometown, they don't even have the money to put up a façade. This is still the case of no accidents on the road.

At noon that day, the three of them sat on the side of the road, holding bowls, drinking wild vegetable soup and eating mixed flour cakes. Ye Xinyan was worried about the next journey.

On the cart they traveled this time, they carried a pot and a simple stand, which could be propped up at any time to collect firewood to make soup and paste. Wotou and mixed noodles are made at the hotel or at the villager's house.

Ye Xinyan was chewing on the dry and hard cakes while thinking about his grandfather's return to his hometown. Why don't you discuss with your grandfather, settle down in a prosperous town on the road, do business for a year and a half, earn some money, and then go back?

Or, no longer staying on the road, now that the weather is getting warmer, you can choose to sleep in a ruined temple. In this way, when you arrive in eastern Henan, you can use the money you saved to stay in the hotel to change some clothes, buy some gifts, hire a carriage to go back, and temporarily fill the façade for your grandfather?

It's just that if you don't live in the store, grandpa and Mama Jin don't know if they can afford it?

It's almost the end of February, and there aren't many pedestrians on the road, but there are quite a few, but there are few like them.

There are also people who are sharp on the road, but they carry serious cooked food. But everyone who travels long distances has the strength of his feet, or leads a donkey, or rides on an ox cart.

The three of them were the only ones pushing the wheelbarrow to drive the long way. is still cooking on the side of the road, and the wild vegetables dug up on the side of the road are cooking in the pot, how can it be a tragic word?

It was already miserable, but I could still meet onlookers. This world is too ...... Well, of course, the onlookers also depend on who the onlookers are.
