"Yes, I'll leave it here with you." Xiao Mu said matter-of-factly, "I'll just keep one or two pieces of silver with me."
"But you earned this, it's not mine." Ye Luoxin said.
"But," Xiao Mu said, "my father keeps all his money with my mother."
Ye Luoxin didn't know what it felt like.
Yes, she is Xiao Mu's wife now! It is also appropriate for a daughter-in-law to take care of money.
She stopped being pretentious, got up, went to the back room, found an abandoned jar, cleaned the jar, and then put all the money in it.
There is no good livelihood now, so you don’t need to spend this money casually. You may need to rely on this money to make a fortune in the future.
"I'll take you to grab medicine in the afternoon." Xiao Mu added, "This time I have money, so I'll grab the medicine for a month first, which will last until I come back next time."
"Are you going to go up the mountain again so soon?" Ye Luoxin felt a little empty in her heart.
When chatting before, she heard Yang Feng mention that Xiao Mu would go up the mountain for at least three to five days or as long as half a month, but he would always rest for ten days and a half before returning from the mountain.
On the one hand, the collected medicine needs to be processed, on the other hand, he also needs to take a rest.
Ye Luoxin didn't expect to leave so quickly this time.
"The medicine planted by the master is about to mature. I have to go to the mountain to guard it." Xiao Mu said, "Lest it be ruined by animals on the mountain."
"How long will it take this time?" Ye Luoxin asked.
"Almost a month." Xiao Mu estimated.
"Oh!" Ye Luoxin lowered her head in a depressed mood, but an idea in her mind became stronger and stronger.
Xiao Mu was talking about going to the mountain to guard, not walking around.
If you keep it, can you go to the mountain with him?
After all, her income from digging in the soil is limited. Given her current situation, she doesn't know the local customs and eating habits, and has no in-depth connections. She might as well go to the mountains to take a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
She thought this idea was a bit ridiculous, but the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.
…
When she came back from grabbing the medicine, Xu Zhengxiang had already baked pancakes with the newly bought noodles, and cooked the pork belly into a bright-colored sauce.
The pork is soft and delicious. When eating, you only need to cut it into thin slices, put it in the pancake, add a few spring onions, and take a bite. The delicious flavor will spread between your lips and teeth, which is simply addictive.
In order to enjoy the meal, Xu Zhengxiang took out two more eggs and mixed them with the dried mushrooms to make half a pot of egg drop mushroom soup.
When Xiao Jing came back from school, he was shocked by the food at home.
He washed his hands and put it on the table, couldn't wait to take a big bite of the pancake, licked the gravy from the corner of his mouth, and asked vaguely while chewing: "Mom, how do you eat meat pancakes today? And egg soup? Our family has found a treasure. ?”
"Eat your food, it won't stop your mouth." Xu Zhengxiang knocked on the bowl.
"Eat quickly. After eating, my sister-in-law will roll you a pancake with more meat." Yang Feng also advised him.
Seeing everyone's "Don't look at me, I don't know anything" expressions, Xiao Jing knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he simply stopped being curious and buried his head in the food. As long as his family could eat this food every day, he didn't know anything. .
…
The next day, Xiao Changhe and Xiao Song went to the fields normally, while everyone else stayed at home.
Xiao Mu needed a good rest, so after breakfast he went back to the house to catch up on his sleep.
Xu Zhengxiang took his two daughters-in-law to prepare the things he needed to go up the mountain.
Yang Feng knew that Xiao Mu worked hard to go up the mountain and paid a lot of money to the family, so her mother-in-law usually favored Xiao Mu and she never cared about it.
"It's a long journey this time, so I need to bring more food. If I make too many cakes and I can't keep them, I'll bake fifteen of them and bring him half a bag of rice and half a bag of noodles." Xu Zhengxiang calculated, "What's more?" There are clothes, and the one I wore last time is scratched, so I have to make two more.”
"Mom, I still have some leftover materials from last time. I'll make the clothes." Yang Feng agreed.
"You also need to bring an extra pair of shoes. The road on the mountain is slippery, so you have to be prepared." Xu Zhengxiang continued: "Bring a few extra pairs of socks..."
After thinking about a lot of things carefully, Xu Zhengxiang began to worry again: "This time I have to go into the mountains for more than a month. I have never walked for such a long time before. You said that he is a big man and it will be a problem to eat by then. I I really can’t let go of this.”
"Mom." Seeing Xu Zhengxiang sigh, Ye Luoxin finally mustered up the courage to speak out her thoughts: "How about this time, Mulang and I will go up the mountain together."
"That's not possible!" Xu Zhengxiang was startled by her and immediately objected: "The mountain road is difficult to travel. You won't be able to keep up with the man if you go there. Besides, there are jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain. If you encounter Well, your small body is not big enough to fill the gap between people’s teeth.”
"Mom!" Ye Luoxin didn't give up. "Mu Lang said he was going to the mountain to guard this time. I walked with him, but I was a little slow when going up the mountain. When we get to the place, don't we no longer have to run around?"
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, this is the reason.
"He doesn't know how to cook. When the pancakes are finished, he will definitely be hungry and full. When he goes down the mountain, he may be hungry. I can take care of him when I go." Ye Luoxin continued.
This point touched Xu Zhengxiang's heart.
That's not what she was worried about.
But Ye Luoxin's body hasn't recovered yet. If she goes for a walk in the mountains and loses even more, what can she do?
"I don't think it's possible. If you follow me up the mountain, I'm afraid even the second child won't agree." Xu Zhengxiang thought about it, but still didn't make the decision.
However, her mind was alive. If there was someone to take care of the second child, it would be better than being alone.
When Xiao Mu got up in the afternoon, she told Xiao Mu about this matter.
Xiao Mu was also surprised that Ye Luoxin had such an idea.
"Forget it. It's windy on the mountain and cold at night. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
"I can do it." Ye Luoxin heard the conversation between the two people and didn't care about any irregularities, so she said: "I have done laundry and cooking since I was a child, and I have also done it in the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms. It is not a bit hard at all. I can’t eat anything, and besides taking medicine during this period, my health is much better.”
Seeing the stubborn and determined expression in Ye Luoxin's clear eyes, Xiao Mu suddenly felt very interesting. He had underestimated her before.
"I can take you with me, but I have agreed not to cry if I feel miserable." Xiao Mu relaxed.
"I don't know how!" Ye Luoxin blushed again after being teased by Xiao Mu.
Xu Zhengxiang's heart finally fell to the ground, but she still asked: "Is it really possible?"
Xiao Mu replied: "It's okay, I'm here."
The matter was settled just like that.
Thinking that there might be various wild fruits, wild vegetables and undiscovered medicinal materials hidden in the deep mountains, Ye Luoxin couldn't help but feel excited.
When you go to the mountains, there are more opportunities to make money.
Suddenly there are more people going to the mountain, and there are more things to prepare.
The two of them had to prepare clothes, shoes, socks, food and supplies. Now that there was Ye Luoxin, Xiao Mu also planned to bring a quilt. Seeing so many things to buy, Xu Zhengxiang simply slapped them. Thigh: "Let's go to the county seat together tomorrow."
