"Okay, okay, mom, go, mom, go do it, Tongtong, you go and rest." Li Wenxiu agreed hastily.
She had forgotten that the injury on her daughter's forehead had not healed yet. She had followed them for so long this morning. How could her body bear the stress?
The couple walked into the house, closed the door, and Ye Yutong pulled her into the space.
First he gave her a big white steamed bun and said, "Mom, these are the steamed buns I just made, as well as boiled eggs. You can go to work after you are full."
Afraid that she would not be willing to eat, he smiled and said: "The gods said, help her work here, don't go hungry, otherwise other gods will say she is stingy and abuse us.
That way she will lose face in front of other gods. What if she is not happy and won't let us help here? "
Li Wenxiu wiped her hands on her body, took the steamed bun, and said piously: "Thank you, God, thank you, God."
Ye Yutong held back his laughter and brought over the pickles and boiled eggs that he had just cut.
"Mom, you eat first, and then go to work when you are full. Just put the vegetables you pick later in the basement."
"Okay, I understand, Tongtong, you should eat some too!"
"Mom, I've already eaten just now. Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry. Go to work when you're full. I'll go out first."
She actually wanted to sleep in the bedroom of the space. The sofa bed there was something she bought after choosing it for a long time. It was very comfortable to lie on.
But both of them are in space, what if someone comes from home? Moreover, there was a big living person living in the thatched house next door, so I thought about it and went out to sleep!
She carried half a wooden bucket of water out of the space. The water was fetched from the well in the small courtyard and used to cook porridge at night.
Lying on the pile of straw, she couldn't sleep, thinking about which family the young man in the next room was a bastard.
His family status shouldn't be too high, otherwise his master wouldn't give him to a small village girl as a wedding gift. Maybe the family really had no way to survive, so he made such a decision for him.
Thinking about carrying a half-dead burden on her way out, she wanted to sigh again.
Their family doesn't even have a strong working man. Although the eldest brother is twelve years old, his body is so thin that it feels like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Her mother is also a very delicate type, unlike some rural women who are tall and thick, and are not easy to mess with at first sight.
Not to mention her and her second brother, who are as skinny as two little chickens and easy to bully at first glance. Now there is another boy who can't even walk. Alas, the road ahead is difficult.
She lay there tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She got up and drank a bowl of water. After thinking about it, she put another bowl in a wooden bucket. She walked to the next door and patted the simple wooden door: "Tuk duk duk."
"Please come in!" The young man's voice came to mind.
Ye Yutong opened the door and saw the boy lying on the pile of straw. There was a bowl next to him with more than half of the water in it. His lips were very dry and peeling.
She paused and said with a smile: "I brought you a bowl of water. I didn't disturb your rest, right?"
"No interruption, thank you very much. I heard from my second brother that you were also injured. I wonder if you feel better?" Li Yunze said and was about to get up.
Ye Yutong waved his hands hurriedly: "Lie down, don't get up, and you can pull on the wound later."
When Li Yunze heard what she said, he didn't force himself to get up. He had to get better as soon as possible. If his injuries worsened, it would only drag them down.
Ye Yutong put the bowl of water next to him, "You will drink this bowl of water later. This water has settled for a long time and there are not so many impurities in it."
This is the water in the space well. Ye Yutong was afraid that he would see something, so he said this.
Li Yunze sighed: "I have heard from my second brother about the situation here. In these days, it is good to have water to drink. If you are still picky, you will be damned."
With that said, he opened the baggage left by the master and took out the purse inside.
"There is some gold in this. You can give it to your mother-in-law and ask her to buy more grain and store it. If the drought continues like this, the price of grain will get higher and higher. You may not be able to buy grain even with money in the future."
The group of them was hunted down and it took almost two months to get here from the capital while hiding in Tibet.
Along the way, I saw the miserable state of the people, as well as the actions of several vassal kings and the eldest prince. I am afraid that the situation in the world will get worse and worse in the future.
Alas, it is really difficult for the people at the bottom to find a way to survive.
Ye Yutong looked at the purse he handed over, thought for a moment and took it.
From now on, this man will eat and drink with them and serve him, so he should pay some money.
Besides, given their family’s conditions, it’s obvious that they are extremely poor. If they often provide food in the future, this person will definitely be suspicious.
Now with the gold and food he gave him, he can live here with peace of mind.
"Then I'll keep it for now, and I'll tell my mother what you just said later, but I'll agree first that if she doesn't accept it, I'll give it back to you."
Li Yunze smiled and said: "You don't have to give it back to me. If my mother-in-law insists on not accepting it, then leave it with you. If your family needs anything, just go and buy it."
After hearing what he said, Ye Yutong felt very amused. This young man was quite capable of doing things. She smiled and didn't refuse.
The two of them were not familiar with each other. After talking about serious matters, they couldn't find a topic for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet.
Ye Yutong picked up the half bowl of turbid water and said, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go out first."
Li Yunze nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, please go slowly."
She walked to the door and then remembered, this person didn't drink water because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go to the toilet?
She didn't think much, turned around and asked, "Do you want it convenient?"
After hearing her words, Li Yunze's face instantly turned red, and he thought in embarrassment, doesn't this girl even know how to be ashamed? How can you ask a man this?
Seeing his embarrassed look, Ye Yutong remembered that this was the feudal ancient times. She regarded the boy as a child and didn't think much about it at all.
She was a little embarrassed now. She touched her nose and added, "What about that? I'm going out first. If you need anything, just shout."
Li Yunze couldn't help laughing when he saw her running away. He was still a child, so he probably didn't think of the difference between men and women.
Ye Yutong returned to the room, and the more he thought about it, the more funny he found it. People in ancient times were so innocent. They would blush for a long time after saying a word, then lie down on the straw and fall asleep with a smile.
Ye's old house
Mrs. Ye Zhang saw her son and grandson coming back with their luggage, and quickly put down the bowl in his hand.
He asked anxiously: "Daqing, Mingxiang, why are you back? What happened? Why did you carry all your luggage back?"
