Chapter 87 Li Yue'e, who was considered timid

Su Mo ran all the way, and when she was about the perimeter of the mountain, she took out two bundles of firewood from the space and carried them on her shoulders. She also took out a cloth bag made of coarse cloth, put some coptis root in it, and tied it to a bamboo pole.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked out of the perimeter, she saw several people holding earthen guns and heading into the mountain. They should be the militia of the brigade. When

Su Mo saw them, she pretended to be surprised and asked, "I just heard the sound of gunfire. Did you kill any prey?"

The militia leader Lu Baojia waved his hand, "It's getting late, Su Zhiqing, you should hurry home."

"Oh!" Su Mo responded, and hesitantly carried the firewood and walked away, looking back from time to time, with a curious look.

As soon as Su Mo arrived near her home, she saw Li Yue'e walking around anxiously outside the yard.

Seeing Su Mo, Li Yue'e ran over quickly, "Xiao Mo, why did you come back so late? I was so worried about you."

"Mom, what's wrong? I was a little late because I was digging something. I just ran into the militia going to the mountains. When they were on the mountain, I seemed to hear gunshots. Did they hit something good?" Su Mo asked with pretended curiosity.

Li Yue'e lowered her voice and said, "It shouldn't be. The person who came back to report said that it was not the sound of a homemade gun, but a pistol. Your father and the team leader have already gone to the commune to report to the police."

The person who came back to report was a soldier, so he could tell the difference in the sound of gunshots. It is said that if more than ten gunshots were heard, something must have happened.

In this day and age, spies are prevalent, and the common people are still very sensitive to gunshots.

"Don't go to the mountains for the time being, the mountains may not be peaceful." Li Yue'e said.

Su Mo nodded quickly, acting very obedient. Then she pulled off the cloth bag tied to the bamboo pole, handed it to Li Yue'e, and whispered, "Mom, I found Coptis chinensis today, and dug up a lot."

Li Yue'e was surprised, opened the cloth bag and saw that it was really Coptis chinensis. After weighing it, it was estimated to be two or three pounds, and it would be about one pound after drying.

Coptis chinensis is expensive. At the purchasing station, one pound of dried goods can be sold for 8 yuan.

This little Mo is really lucky. Others can't pick up anything when they go up the mountain. Not only did she dig up wild ginseng, but she also found so many rare plants like Coptis chinensis.

Li Yue'e tied the bag back and said, "You deal with it, dry it, and then take it to the collection station to sell it."

Su Mo nodded.

Li Yue'e helped Su Mo get the firewood to the firewood room. Seeing the high pile of firewood inside, she was a little surprised: "Did Guoping get all this for you?"

"Almost all, I got some myself." Su Mo didn't elaborate. In fact, most of these were smuggled back by her through space.

"I haven't paid him yet, mother, how much do you think he should be paid?" Su Mo asked.

Li Yue'e took a look and said, "Give me five or six yuan."

Lu Guoping was also a poor child. His father was also a soldier and later died, leaving his mother to raise him and his sister alone. Most of his father's pension was also taken by his grandma and uncle's family, leaving only a little for the three of them.

Although they were martyrs' relatives and the brigade took some care of them, at that time, no one had enough to eat, so how much could they take care of?

When there was no food, his mother gave all the food that could fill her stomach to the two children, and she only drank water to fill herself. Now that she has raised two children, she is also exhausted and sick. People who are obviously younger than her look at least ten years older than her.

Thinking of this, Li Yue'e said, "If you want to be more particular, you can buy some eggs and go over. His wife is about to give birth, so you can give her some brown sugar."

"Okay." Su Mo agreed, and then said, "Mom, wait a moment, I'll cut a few slices of wild ginseng, you can take them back and soak them in water or stew them in soup for grandpa." Lu Boying

has been sucking on ginseng slices for four or five days, and now the situation is much better. One or two slices of ginseng soaked in water or stewed in soup every day will be enough.

Su Mo took the wild ginseng out of the space yesterday and put it in a ventilated place by the window to dry. Otherwise, it would not be acceptable if it remained the same as freshly dug after so many days.

After entering the house, Su Mo took the wild ginseng from the window on the kang, cut a few slices, wrapped them in paper towels, and handed them to Li Yue'e.

"Mom, when the wild ginseng is dried, I'll give it to you and dad. You can use it to make soup or soak it in water for grandpa every ten days or half a month."

"Okay." Li Yue'e nodded. She would send the money for the wild ginseng to Xiaomo later.

"It's late, so don't cook. Mom made steamed buns made of two taels of flour. I'll bring you a few later. Eat them with the mushroom sauce you made. They're delicious." Li Yue'e said. "

Okay, then I won't cook. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yue'e waved her hand, "A few steamed buns, what's the hard work. Wait, I'll go back and get them for you."

After saying that, Li Yue'e left in a hurry. Soon, she brought a few steamed buns back, and brought three hundred yuan with them.

"Xiaomo, this 300 yuan is a donation. I don't know if it's enough, but this is all we have. Keep it."

Sumo smiled, happy for such sensible parents-in-law. They don't think that you should be filial because you are the younger generation. They will give you corresponding compensation within their ability.

This is already a win over many people.

"Mom, take the money back. Grandpa has already given me money." Sumo said.

"What? Your grandpa gave you money? Give his money back, and your parents will give this money." Li Yue'e said. How much money can the old man have? I'm afraid he has spent all his savings.

Su Mo shook her head, "Grandpa said that this is his gift, I have to accept it. I just need to accept his."

"Grandpa also gave me that one." Su Mo said, pretending to go back to the room and take out a small yellow croaker to show Li Yue'e.

Li Yue'e was shocked, and her attention was indeed diverted.

"Put it away quickly! How could this old man give you this? You must not let anyone know about this, otherwise you will be cut off your tail and arrested for criticism."

"I know, I will keep it well. I am not taking it out just for you to see."

Li Yue'e lowered her voice and said, "Hide it quickly, and no matter who it is, don't take it out again in the future."

After instructing Su Mo, Li Yue'e hurried back with the bowl. She really didn't expect that the old man also hid this thing, so she had to let him hide it carefully.

After Li Yue'e returned, she went to Lu Boming's room and told him what happened.

After listening, Lu Boming laughed: "You, you are not even half as brave as Xiaomo. Okay, I know, you don't have to worry."

"Also, I've given you the money, you don't have to give it anymore, Xiaomo is not a calculating person."

Li Yue'e: ...

OK! You think she is too timid.

In the future, let the little ones stay away from entering Dad's room, so that the little ones won't dig around and find something. That would be troublesome.
