The two decided on the cat's name. After Xie Yan settled the cat in, Yu Yuehui pulled him back into the house, took out a small box from the cabinet, and handed it to him.
Xie Yan held the box, looking at Yu Yuehui with some confusion, "What's inside? Is it for me?"
Yu Yue smiled at Xie Yan and said, "Why don't you open it and see?"
Xie Yan shook it, not recognizing what was inside. When he opened it, his eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at Yu Yuehui and then at the box, only to find it was full of money, stacks of cash neatly piled up in the box.
Xie Yan was shocked and quickly looked outside. Fortunately, Yu Yue had closed the door when she returned. Even so, he was still worried and whispered, "This...this...this is all your money? All of it is yours??"
In an instant, Xie Yan recalled what Yu Yuehui had said last time about dealing with the rabbits. He hadn't paid attention before, but now that he thought about it and considered all the money involved, what was there that he didn't understand?
Having figured it out, Xie Yan's heart was still in suspense. He tentatively asked, "Tell me honestly, where did you go?"
Yu Yue immediately understood what Xie Yan was referring to, shook her head, and lowered her voice as well, saying, "I didn't go. We have a regular person here who collects these things, and I handle them with him. I didn't go there, so don't worry."
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she didn't go. He was still quite afraid that Yu Yue would go back to the black market. After all, that place was a mixed bag, with all sorts of people. Even if Yu Yue was capable, it was hard to guard against villains!
He himself went there once, and then he didn't really want to go again.
"It's not about where you go; after all, those places aren't exactly good. If you can avoid direct contact with the virus, then it's best to avoid it altogether. It's fine as it is now! Since yours is a long-term condition, someone might notice. There are many people with conjunctivitis, and if this gets out, it will be a serious matter."
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I'll figure something out. You'd better not get involved directly yourself!"
Yu Yuehui nodded, "I know, don't worry, I'm very careful about safety, and no one has known all these years."
She was a local and knew the locals' character better than anyone else. Everyone else was doing just fine being poor, but she was the one who was up to no good, making money and secretly eating well. Who could stand that?
If she gets reported, it won't just be her problem; her whole family could suffer. Her father's job as brigade leader would be over.
Therefore, she has been very careful over the years. In the past, when there was no way out, she would rather eat the meat than take any risks.
Seeing that Yu Yuehui truly understood the seriousness of the matter, Xie Yan stopped wasting words and looked down at his family's assets. After looking at them, he felt less anxious; his family was considered wealthy.
Although we still can't just sit around and do nothing, we're not as anxious as before.
We'll find ways to make money gradually. There's always a way out, and maybe an opportunity will just fall from the sky!
Thinking about making money for the thank-you banquet, and then about the rocking chair, he directly asked Yu Yuehui, "Can the carpenters around here make a rocking chair?"
Yu Yue raised an eyebrow. "You want a rocking chair?"
"Yes, yes, it would be best to plant another grapevine in the yard. After the grapevine grows up, I'll put a rocking chair underneath it, make two, and we can lie side by side under the grapevine to enjoy the cool shade. How comfortable would that be!" Xie Yan looked at his wife and told her about his dream.
The main purpose is to consult her opinion, since this is their home together, and the other person's consent is needed.
Yu Yue thought about the wood in her own home. Oh well, they didn't have any wood either. She could just go into the mountains and find some when the weather cleared up. There were plenty of dry trees in the mountains, and she could easily get one or two at night. "Uncle Li can make rocking chairs, but it will take a few days."
Xie Yan waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I was just asking if it's possible, to plan ahead. Is it okay to plant grapes in the yard?"
Yu Yue pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "It's possible, but not this year. There's no time to plant them. As for the grapevines, I know one that's very big. If it can be planted well, you can eat grapes next year, but you'll have to wait until spring to transplant it."
"Of course! These are just my thoughts, and I wanted to share them with you. There's no rush. As for the grapevines, I think they'll take at least several years before we can eat grapes. Don't worry about planting them. I've been reading some books on planting recently, and I'm sure I'll be able to grow them very well once they're transplanted."
"Next autumn, we'll be able to eat our own grapes!"
Xie Yan was full of confidence, and he wasn't lying. He had indeed been reading some books on planting recently, but he was planting medicinal herbs.
After discussing the arrangements for the courtyard, the two went back to their own business.
Around three or four in the afternoon, the rain began to gradually subside and showed signs of stopping.
Xie Yan had been reading for a long time, so he stood up to rest his eyes. He saw his wife still sewing and mending, so he went over and pulled her back. "Honey, take a break. You've been sewing for so long. Let your eyes rest."
Yu Yue shook her head. "I'll be done in a bit. You rest for a while, and I'll sew this piece up."
Alright, seeing how persistent his wife was, Xie Yan stopped bothering her and found a suitable spot to lie down. Sleeping on a rainy day is so comfortable!
Listening to the gentle patter of rain, it's the perfect time to go to sleep!
And you know what? It really was hypnotic. After Yue finished sewing the clothes, she saw Xie Yan already fast asleep. She smiled and shook her head, then found a blanket and covered Xie Yan with it.
Even though it's June, it can still get quite cool when it rains.
But Yu Yuehui was a restless person. After watching Xie Yan for a while, she started sewing clothes again.
Anyway, when Xie Yan woke up, he saw Yu Yuehui still mending clothes. Xie Yan wondered why there were so many clothes that needed mending!
I've been trying to fix it all afternoon, and it's still not done!
The room wasn't very bright right now, and Xie Yan was really afraid that this silly girl would make her eyes nearsighted!
