Chapter 8 Build a Brick and Tile House
"I have hidden a lot of mushrooms, chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, mountain red, red mushrooms, and a lot of firewood in the mountains. I am afraid that others will see them if I go to get them during the day."
"What's wrong with that? Every family in the village goes up the mountain to pick mountain products, and no one says anything." The father-in-law comforted.
"No, the key is that the quantity is too large. Others will definitely say something." At this moment, Yan Yunxi pretended to be an innocent little girl, just to see how shocked they were. It was interesting to think about it.
"How big can it be? Tomorrow, my brother and I will go up the mountain and bring it back for you in one trip." Mu Jingwen patted his chest and promised.
Seeing Yan Yunxi's mouth twitching, Mu Jingxuan felt that it was not that simple, "How much did you get?"
Yan Yunxi looked at Mu Jingxuan, then looked at the others, and paused deliberately, "About, each one, about 500 kilograms"
"How much!" The father-in-law stood up immediately, and now everyone was not calm.
Other families can only pick up a hundred kilograms at most every year, which is considered a lot. The key is that there are few things and many people. She is good, 500 kilograms for each one, just say it's scary!
"You went into the mountains," Mu Jingxuan asked seriously.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to pick up so much.
Yan Yunxi suddenly felt guilty, and her voice unconsciously rose a little, "Just tell me whether you want to go or not. It would be a waste if we leave so much stuff in the mountains and don't bring it back. We can exchange it for money if we bring it back."
"Don't go to the mountains in the future." Mu Jingxuan was a little helpless and more worried.
"Oh, okay." We'll talk about it later, anyway, she's not afraid.
Yan Yunxi lowered her head, like an obedient child, which made Mu Jingxuan soften as if he had lost his temper.
"The mountain is too dangerous. Next time you want to go, I'll take you there, okay?" This time Mu Jingxuan didn't hold back, and his hand unconsciously touched her head gently.
Yan Yunxi looked up at him and blinked her big eyes, "So are you going today?"
Seeing that Yan Yunxi didn't dislike his touch, Mu Jingxuan's mood instantly became beautiful, "Go! I'll go borrow a cart now, let's go together."
Yan Yunxi looked like a successful little fox, smiling as she watched Mu Jingxuan go out.
"Sister-in-law, are you really going so late?" Mu Jingwen was still a little uncertain.
"Go, there are so many good things, don't you want to exchange them for money to have a good New Year?"
Of course he thought about it!
"Go, old woman, bring the flashlight, you stay at home and look after Dabao, we'll go to the mountain to pull things." The father-in-law slapped his thigh hard, stood up and made up his mind.
Yan Yunxi was still very happy that they could finally have some night activities.
Soon Mu Jingxuan borrowed a cart, and the four of them went up the mountain together.
Seeing the mountain products that Yan Yunxi hid halfway up the mountain still shocked the others. Although they knew that each type weighed 500 kilograms, it was not as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.
Four people worked together to pack, seal, and load the goods. They went back and forth for a total of more than ten times before finally getting these things back. It was already past twelve o'clock when they got home.
Everyone was too tired to talk, but they were still very happy.
Yan Yunxi poured a bowl of water for everyone, and everyone drank it up. I always felt that the water that Yan Yunxi poured was very sweet and delicious.
Back in the room, Mu Jingxuan took the initiative to say, "Don't worry about the rest. I'll borrow a truck tomorrow and take everything away in one trip."
Yan Yunxi thought it would be so much easier. "Where are you going to sell it? Otherwise, sell it on the black market. The price will be higher. But will it be dangerous?"
Mu Jingxuan wanted to laugh at her money-obsessed look. "It's okay. I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about it."
"Oh."
Then she didn't say anything else, climbed onto the kang, and fell asleep soon.
Mu Jingxuan saw that she fell asleep, and he didn't turn off the oil lamp for a long time. He just kept looking at her. He wanted to reach out and touch her.
After a long time, he sighed, turned off the oil lamp, and went to sleep on the kang.
At the moment when the oil lamp went out, Yan Yunxi secretly opened one eye to look at Mu Jingxuan, then closed her eyes again, with a slight smile on her lips. You
little brat! Let's see how long you can endure this.
This can be regarded as her and Mu Jingxuan's official love affair, which made her feel a little sweet and happy.
The next day, Mu Jingxuan was busy until the afternoon before he came back. He sold a total of 700 yuan of mountain products, which was much higher than Yan Yunxi expected.
The firewood was not sold, but kept for his own use. These firewoods are enough to burn until next winter.
Mu Jingxuan handed the money to Yan Yunxi, and Yan Yunxi handed the money to her mother-in-law, "Mom, you keep this money."
This is considered the family's income. Before the division of the family, the money must be managed by her mother-in-law.
"You take it yourself. This is the mountain produce you picked up." The mother-in-law was very pleased with Yan Yunxi's behavior, but she still pushed the money back.
"This is the money earned by the joint efforts of everyone in the family. It should be put into the public account. Mom, just take it. Let's have something good to eat during the New Year." Yan Yunxi insisted.
This girl, the rice, noodles, and meat she eats on a daily basis are all bought by Yunxi with her own money, so Shen Chunxiang thinks she can't take this money.
The two pushed and shoved for a long time, and finally it was the father-in-law who spoke, and the money was taken by the mother-in-law. Yan Yunxi finally smiled happily.
Mu Jingxuan felt warm in his heart. He felt that he had married a treasure because he could marry Yan Yunxi.
What Yan Yunxi didn't dare to say was that she hoped to build a new brick and tile house with the money she made.
She couldn't accept the colorful house, the paper on the ceiling, the red floral cloth, and the newspapers on the walls. She was really afraid of seeing these things every day.
But she also knew that it was difficult. Her parents-in-law were used to being frugal, and the key was that they had to save money to marry Mu Jingwen.
However, the autumn harvest was over, and when Mu Jingxuan went to work, she would have time to trade in supplies on the black market. When she made more money, she would think of ways to convince her family.
Thinking of this, Yan Yunxi looked at Mu Jingxuan and asked, "Have you found a job?"
"Yes, I will go to the machinery factory and start work in a week."
A week, there is still time. She wanted to show him his legs. She had not had time before. She hoped that he could walk like a normal person in the future.
"Can you let me see your leg?" Yan Yunxi was a little cautious, she was afraid that he would feel inferior.
"It's already like this, there's nothing to see." Mu Jingxuan could accept the disability of his leg, but he didn't want Yan Yunxi to see the ugly scar on his leg.
Yan Yunxi took Mu Jingxuan back to the house and pressed him to sit on the kang.
"I know medical skills, let me take a look, okay? I hope you can walk like a normal person."
Mu Jingxuan took the opportunity to pull Yan Yunxi's hand. Seeing that she didn't object, he secretly showed a triumphant smile, "Mainly because I'm afraid you'll be scared when you see the scar."
As he said that, he kept touching the back of her hand with his thumb, and he just refused to let go.
"I won't be scared. Do you want to be crippled like this for the rest of your life?"
He didn't want to be crippled for the rest of his life. If he could be cured, he would be more than happy. But the doctor had already given his leg a death sentence . How could there be any hope
? However, he didn't want Yan Yunxi to be disappointed. "Okay, you see. If you're scared, just close your eyes."
Yan Yunxi nodded and said nothing. She squatted down in front of him.
