"How about I go with you tomorrow? Mother said we don't have to work in the morning so we can rest." Tian felt sorry for her husband.
When Zhang heard this, she also expressed her desire to go together.
"Okay, let's go once in the morning and finish the work, then we can rest together in the afternoon. You don't have to collect the wood." Zhou felt that four people were just right and there was no need to make two trips.
"Can you two do this? A backpack weighs 70 to 80 kilograms, it's very heavy."
"It's not like I'm carrying or hugging you, so it's fine to carry it on your back."
"Brother, you can let the sisters-in-law carry less, and we can carry more on the last day."
"No, little sister, we're used to working, so this amount is fine. It's just that we left early, so I'm afraid someone will need to look after the house. I have to boil water for the children to wash in the morning, and I have to mix the pigs' food. Shuwen and the others can do that, but I'm afraid they'll oversleep. Pan'er is still young."
"Tonight, your father and I will finish our work, light the lamp and go back. Please leave the door open for us."
After hearing what Zhou said, the two sisters-in-law felt relieved. They had been busy with things here every day these days, and there was actually a lot of work to do at home. When they went home at night, they not only had to feed themselves but also the livestock. So after Dashan and the others rested for a while, the family hurried back.
The old couple were naturally cooking and eating here. While Zhou was cooking, she suddenly heard someone calling Chunxiao outside the yard.
Yan Bang was stunned. When he walked out of the yard, he saw Dongsheng standing there with something in his hand. "Dongsheng, why are you here? Are you looking for Chunxiao?" This was strange.
Dongsheng saw that it was Yan Bingfa and touched his head embarrassedly. "Uncle Bingfa, is Sister Chunxiao here? I ran into her at the market last time and she told me to let her know if I catch prey again."
Yan Bangsheng looked at the pheasant and rabbit in his hands and said, "You kid, you've caught something again. That's awesome. Just wait." He walked back to the yard and called Chunxiao twice towards the backyard. After a while, Chunxiao came out.
"Dad, what do you want me to do?"
"Dongsheng is looking for you." Yan Bingfa pointed to the door.
Chunxiao then noticed that there was still a person standing outside the door. "Dongsheng?" She walked over and saw what he was holding. "Oh, you caught some prey again."
"Yes, Sister Chunxiao, I caught another rabbit today. Do you want one?"
"Yes, how much?"
"Same as last time, 50 cents." Dongsheng immediately became happy when he heard her say she wanted it.
"You still have a pheasant, how much is it?"
"Do you want this chicken too? Didn't you want the rabbit? If you want this chicken too, then give me 80 coins for both."
"Your chicken is only 30 coins?" This price is wrong. A chicken should cost at least 50 coins, and it's game.
"This chicken isn't fat, and it only costs 40 cents. If you want it, I'll definitely give it to you at a lower price."
Yan Bingfa just stayed in the yard and listened to the conversation between the two.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you the money." Chunxiao ran into the house, took out a penny of silver and handed it to him, "Here." She took the prey from his hand.
"Sister Chunxiao, I don't have any money to ask you for help." Dongsheng looked at her awkwardly.
"Just keep a record of the ten copper coins for now. I can include them in the calculation later if I need to."
The young man then thanked him happily and left.
