"Yuanyuan," Shiraishi straightened up and greeted.
"Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked subconsciously.
"We are going on a long journey in two days. The clan leader asked us to take a good rest," Baishi replied, with a smile on his pretty face. "I want to come and see you and do some work with you."
Zhu Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and refused, "No, I didn't do it myself, so I don't have the nerve to keep you busy."
Shiraishi, "..."
"Ahem, cough, cough," Zhu He couldn't listen anymore, "Girl, I'm too tired to help you by myself, why shouldn't he want to help?"
The male cannot be spoiled, he must be tested, and doing some strenuous work is nothing.
"I'm not thinking that Brother Baishi is going out and should have a good rest before leaving!" Zhu Yuanyuan said angrily, "You are not working alone. Uncle Yuan and the others will come to help when they have time. If I hear that, it depends on how you explain it. .”
Zhu He felt a little guilty after hearing this, and looked around to make sure no one was coming before resting his mind, "I was just joking with Mr. Shi, please don't go around ruining my reputation by talking nonsense."
"Oh, that's amazing. You've learned how to make jokes?" Zhu Yuanyuan said with a faint smile, "Then I have to be careful. It would be bad if I accidentally tell the joke you made."
Zhu He's face fell, and he said angrily, "No more, I'm busy pulling weeds, and I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you."
After saying that, he hurriedly went to the chili field next to him.
The little female's mouth was so fierce that the old man couldn't afford to offend her, so she slipped away.
Zhu Yuanyuan put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly, "Hahaha, it's my turn this time!"
After laughing, she met Bai Shi's astonished gaze, and was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten the trigger for today's battle of wits and courage with the stubborn old man.
Emma, did she reveal something?
No, that's not right. I never concealed it. How could it be exposed?
Zhu Yuanyuan quickly regained her composure, pursed her lips and smiled at the person, "Brother Baishi, where are you going this time, hunting or collecting salt?"
"None of them," Shiraishi replied, "Others are going hunting. Last time I brought back enough salt to last for several years. This time I went to the monkey orc tribe for exchange."
Zhu Yuanyuan immediately became interested after hearing this, "Where is the monkey orc tribe? Is it far from us? Can you take me there?"
Good guy, just open your mouth and ask three questions in a row.
Bai Shi shook his head, "It's not far from here. If we don't delay on the way, we can get there in two or three days. If you want to go, you have to ask the clan leader."
"Why would you ask the clan leader about such a trivial matter?" Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Who is the captain? I promise not to hold you back. If you are injured or sick on the way, I will treat you. The clan leader will definitely agree."
Bai Shichen hesitated and said, "The clan leader is the captain. He just wants to explore the situation and doesn't have much prepared for exchange. I can mention it to him, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."
In fact, there was nothing to prepare. No tribe was short of animal skins. Bai Danian planned to bring some bacon and potatoes to the fair. The large mutated beasts captured on the road could also be traded.
But there is no need to explain this clearly, Yuanyuan should know.
As expected, Zhu Yuanyuan didn't ask any more questions. She was stunned when she found out that the clan leader personally led the team to the trade fair.
The patriarch is a strong-willed person, and it is difficult to change his decision. If he did not take the initiative to take her with him, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.
Yes, let’s wait until later.
Zhu Yuanyuan made up her mind and stopped embarrassing Bai Shi. She smiled and changed the subject, "My mother-in-law asked me to cook some dishes and pots. Do you want it?"
"Yes," Shiraishi replied without hesitation, "I just have two days off, so I can help you burn it."
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan did not refuse, "Let's dig some mud first. Brother Baishi should know where there is useful clay, right?"
Shiraishi nodded, "I know, I'll go back and get the bone hoe and backpack."
The two of them had agreed to leave. Zhu He, who was pulling weeds and eavesdropping, said, "Remember to take my share with you. I want a pot and ten dishes."
"No problem," Zhu Yuanyuan said.
The answer was yes.
She has always done a good job in respecting the elderly and loving the young, and will never be stingy about spending more effort and time.
Shiraishi had no objection, but said, "Grandpa He is not partnering with your family, so why do you still need these things?"
"Probably to prepare for the time when we don't work together," Zhu Yuanyuan guessed casually.
The stubborn old man is getting older, like an old child, and is always cloudy and sunny. Sometimes when he loses in a quarrel with her, he gets so angry that he blows his beard and stares, insisting on breaking up and going home to cook for himself.
E~ The house is very busy these days, it’s really difficult!
Shiraishi chuckled, "He likes to hear good things now, just coax him more."
This is a true statement, and Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't agree more.
The two left the valley while chatting, and Shiraishi led the way to find suitable clay. They worked hard for a long time before digging enough clay, and went home in disgrace.
The clay cannot be used directly after digging it out. You have to find a place with sunlight to dry it, grind it, and then sift out the fine soil.
Because the tools are so backward, it takes several days to complete these steps alone. People who are impatient really can't do it. This is why Zhu Xiaofen doesn't ask her second son to do it, but has to work hard for her daughter.
As for Brother Zhu, he is also very busy and never sees anyone except sleeping.
"Yuanyuan," Shiraishi said while working, "when I go out, don't do it alone. Find a few people to help."
"You know, I'm not a fool, I won't wrong myself," Zhu Yuanyuan looked sideways at the person next to her, "If you hadn't been here, I would have called someone."
There is no room for light bulbs in the world between two people. This is a good opportunity to cultivate feelings. .
Shiraishi smiled happily, "That's how it should be."
With someone by his side, the boring work becomes much more interesting. The two of them crushed the soil and dried it while they were chatting and laughing. They just waited for the soil to dry and then sifted it several times.
Looking up at the sun, I suddenly realized that I shouldn't have brought the soil back.
There are peaks on all sides of the valley, and the sun is blocked a lot. The places that can get sunshine now will not get it later.
Because of this, the time to get up early every day to absorb the sunshine is much shorter. Those with low qualifications don't care, as long as they have food and drink to survive, while those with good qualifications can only leave the valley early to find a place to practice.
It’s just that you can’t be disturbed while practicing, and you have to be extremely careful outside. The effect is not ideal, and some animals are injured. In the end, the clan leader asks everyone to go together and take turns to be on guard.
Zhu Yuanyuan felt that if things continued like this, they might have to move.
The underage cub has no say in adult matters, she just needs to do her own thing, and then try to build houses and walls when the time comes.
Not now, the valley is just so big, and it's not convenient to transport things in. There's no way for her to do that.
"It's so dirty," Zhu Yuanyuan patted the dirt on her body in disgust, "Every time I do this, I turn into a minion."
Baishi immediately said, "I'll help you boil water when you get back."
"No, I can do it myself," Zhu Yuanyuan shook her head and refused, "You're not going anywhere, you have to clean up."
Shiraishi was moved, "Yuanyuan, do you feel sorry for me?"
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..."
