Men do porter work and only earn a dozen or twenty cash a day for hard work. Li can earn a hundred and twenty cash in three days. No wonder she is so happy.
"By the way, Xi Niang, I'm going to leave after I've finished cooking. I'd like you to take care of Ye'er and the two little ones."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of them."
Yun Xi nodded solemnly and agreed. She actually wanted Mr. Li to stop working. Earning one hundred and twenty cash in three days was not worth working day and night.
However, Mrs. Li had already made an agreement with others, and if she refused to go to the meeting now, she would break her promise, which was not good, so Yun Xi did not persuade her.
When she comes back from her work this time, it won't be too late to persuade her.
Hearing her words, Mrs. Li suddenly became even more delighted, "Okay, good boy, I really don't know how to thank you. When I get my wages, I will come back and bring you something."
These words made Yun Xi dumbfounded, "Mom, you don't need to bring me anything, and you don't need to thank me. My husband is in poor health. It's my duty to take care of him and my siblings."
After saying this, she took out a small silver ingot of five taels from her clothes and stuffed it into Li's hand.
"Mom, you have to go out without money. I'll give you this as a spare."
Ms. Li was immediately startled. Although she knew yesterday that her eldest daughter-in-law had changed her gender, she suddenly became so sensible, which made her very at a loss.
This early in the morning, he not only promised to help her take care of the three siblings, but also spoke so nicely and gave her money.
It doesn't matter if you give her some money, she still gets five taels in return. Looking at the wives in the whole village, I am afraid that only her parents' daughter-in-law is the most generous.
Mrs. Li repeatedly pushed the money back into Yun Xi's hand and said anxiously, "Why are you giving me the money? Take it back quickly. With so much money, I am either worried about being stolen or robbed, so I don't dare to go out." ”
Yun Xi:…
Mrs. Li refused to accept the money no matter what, and kept saying that she did not dare to go out with the money. Yunxi had no choice but to take the money back and gave her one hundred copper coins, but Mrs. Li only took fifteen. , and refused to accept the rest.
When Yun Xi saw that she wouldn't accept it, she gave up.
Mrs. Li carefully placed the fifteen copper plates, then went to get a bowl of thick noodles and prepared to cook.
"Mom, let me cook. There's still a lot of pork rib soup from last night. I'm baking a few pancakes, which will be enough for the morning."
Yun Xi came back with a handful of firewood and asked Li to light the fire. Thinking of Yun Xi's cooking skills, Li swallowed silently and gave up the cooking task.
Half an hour later, several golden scallion pancakes were ready. After eating, Li said a few words to Yun Xi and left in a hurry.
Yun Xi looked at the time. It was five ten in the morning. It was still early and she could still go out.
She went to the house and wrote a note and placed it next to Ji Jiuye's pillow. Then, she went to the woodshed to get a small hoe and carried an old basket on her back, in order to prevent Erbao and Yaya from causing chaos when they woke up. Run, she locked the door tightly.
Hougou Village is located in a remote location, and the back mountain is connected to a deep mountain and old forest. She wanted to take a walk in the mountains to see if she could gain anything.
The older generation in the village all got up very early. After seeing Yun Xi, many people pointed at her, but she didn't care at all and walked straight towards the back mountain.
As soon as she got out of the sight of the villagers, her steps became extremely fast.
The steep and rugged mountain road would be very difficult for ordinary people to walk on, but she felt like walking on smooth ground.
It took ordinary people more than an hour to climb a mountain, but she climbed it in just a few minutes, which greatly saved her time.
This season happens to be the season when crops mature.
Yunxi encountered many wild crops in the mountains and forests, such as wild wheat ears, wild millet, wild corn, wild pea pods, etc., but they were all malnourished and inedible.
Among the wild grasses, there are also many edible wild vegetables, such as bitter greens, lettuce, purslane, shepherd's purse, day lily and dozens of other species.
In addition to wild vegetables, there are also some malnourished wild herbs growing sparsely.
Yun Xi did not rush to dig up these wild vegetables and wild herbs, but continued walking deeper into the mountain forest. Then, she encountered a dead tree covered with fat and tender fungus.
Then she encountered several edible fungi.
Yun Xi finally stopped being polite and dug up all the fungi in one go, and then dug out some wild vegetables and herbs with relatively high medicinal value.
After she filled her backpack, she was ready to go home.
However, a huge wild boar attacked her. This was an adult wild boar, weighing at least six to seven hundred pounds. It had two sharp tusks on its long mouth. It was ugly and terrifying.
If an ordinary person encounters this wild boar, with its attack speed and strength, coupled with the lethality of its sharp and sharp tusks, there is no chance of survival.
But Yun Xi, that's a different matter.
When the wild boar's tusks stabbed at her, she calmly crossed the small hoe in her hand, leaving one side of the stick outside, and then stabbed towards the wild boar's neck.
Just like that, the rough-skinned and thick-flesh wild boar was like a soft piece of tofu in her hands, and she pierced the neck effortlessly.
The wild boar whined, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground, suddenly losing all life.
Yun Xi looked at the wild boar on the ground emotionlessly and pulled out the hoe.
She just wanted to wander around in the mountains, and she would get an unexpected surprise. Such a big wild boar should be worth a lot of money, right
Yun Xi bent down and effortlessly lifted the wild boar, which weighed several hundred kilograms. In order to avoid the villagers seeing it, she flew directly with her sword and landed outside Ji's door.
It took more than 20 minutes to go there, and only took one minute to come back.
Opening the door wide, when Yun Xi carried the wild boar in, she saw that the door of Ji Jiuye's room was open, and the sound of conversation could be heard from inside. It seemed that Ji Jiuye and his brother and sister had woken up.
She put the wild boar and other things in the woodshed and went out to wash her hands. Perhaps hearing some noise, Yaya and Erbao ran out, looking at her with two pairs of black eyes.
"Erbao, Yaya..."
Yun Xi raised the corners of her lips and called out softly.
"Sister-in-law."
The brother and sister also called her obediently, and her little appearance was particularly lovable.
"You are hungry, let's go, sister-in-law will take you to eat."
Yun Xi walked over and took one by one hand. The two children seemed not used to it, but they allowed her to hold her hand and no one resisted.
Yun Xi took them to the kitchen, washed their hands with them, and then took out the pancakes from the pot. The golden green onion pancakes exuded an alluring aroma, and the two children immediately swallowed their saliva.
