Are they afraid of hardship?
Nothing is more important than food! They're willing to endure any hardship as long as they can get the food to the border town as quickly as possible!
However, since Yue Jiuyue has already said so, let's do it this way. We can have a hot meal, a good night's sleep, and a good night's rest. The road ahead won't be so comfortable.
Yue Jiuyue had no idea whether they had arrived or how many people had come.
Originally thinking that people would come, Yue Jiuyue had her family prepare. Large meat buns were steamed for a whole day, originally intended for them to take on the journey and eat for a few days, but now they were all sent to the west-facing courtyard of Dongling Forest.
There was also a large bone broth that had been simmering all day, meat, eggs, vegetables, and various dishes prepared in different ways, as well as all kinds of fruits, snacks, and fruit drinks, all of which were delivered to Lin Chaoxi in the dark of night.
The next day, when Yue Jiuyue got up, she found the house much quieter.
Everything I had prepared is gone!
Lin Chaoxi and his comrades all left without having a chance to say goodbye to her.
I suddenly felt empty inside.
Yue Jiuyue didn't even enjoy her breakfast. The couple across from her, Lao Si and his wife, seemed hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but unsure what to say. Finally, they exchanged a glance, sighed, and silently lowered their heads to eat.
At this point, saying anything is superfluous.
Later, we should drag the chubby little boy out of bed. He's not allowed to go anywhere today. Let him act silly in front of Yue Jiuyue, and I guarantee it will improve her mood.
Xiaoman'er usually has to attend classes, so she rarely comes to Yue Jiuyue's place for meals and usually eats by herself.
Dazhuang looked a little listless when he first woke up in the morning, probably because it was getting cold? Anyway, he suddenly learned to stay in bed longer.
As mentioned before, everyone usually goes about their own business in their own courtyards. They only get together for a meal during holidays or when Lin Chaodong and Lin Chaonan come back.
During this period, the fourth brother and his wife came over almost every day, because Lin Chaoxi was rarely home, and since they lived close by, they naturally had to come back every day.
No one expected that Lin Chaoxi would leave without saying goodbye. Not only was Yue Jiuyue heartbroken, but Lin Chaobei was also extremely upset.
The low atmosphere at home couldn't be saved even by Da Zhuang's antics; it lasted for several days before slowly getting better.
Although Yue Jiuyue still couldn't help but regret that she hadn't gone to ask them when they were leaving that night, life still had to go on. She didn't know how to do business and make money, but she could earn points in the mall. In case Lin Chaoxi came back one day, or he wrote to say that he needed something, she could send it to him in time.
Yue Jiuyue has become more diligent.
She goes out every day to dig for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms, some of which she dries and stores, and some she sells in the mall.
This is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, but Yue Jiuyue didn't care about the beautiful scenery of chrysanthemums. She picked them all and made chrysanthemum tea. Moreover, chrysanthemums are also a kind of medicinal material.
There were also many weeds growing in the fields, which were actually medicinal herbs. Yue Jiuyue took them all home, processed them, and stored them away.
There are also roses, Chinese roses, lotus flowers...
From now on, they won't all need to hang on the branches for people to admire anymore; they'll all need to be processed and stored away!
Yue Jiuyue has gone a bit mad.
She wants to move.
I want to move my family to the border town.
However, her idea was rejected by her whole family.
“Mother, if we go to the border town, we'll be starting all over again, and the journey won't be safe either. Didn't you tell the second son to take the corn and sweet potatoes with him? They'll plant them themselves next spring. What can you do there?”
"Yes, Mother, it's already winter. Who knows when a heavy snow might fall? I don't need to tell you how dangerous the roads are when it snows, do I? Besides, you'll just be farming in the border town anyway. Wouldn't it be better to farm at home? The land here is better than in the border town, and we can grow more grain. I'll send grain to Second Brother again next autumn, and I'll do it every year after that. So please give up on this idea, okay?"
“Mother, what my eldest and third brothers said is exactly what I wanted to say. Let’s stay home and farm to make money. We’ll send grain to the border town every year. Next year, we’ll teach them how to grow sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are a treasure from head to toe, so we won’t have to worry about them going hungry.”
"Mother, I will work hard to earn money, and then I will buy more medicinal herbs and cloth, and send them all to the border town!"
The family took turns trying to persuade Yue Jiuyue, and Yue Jiuyue's sudden impulse eventually convinced them to give up.
Yes, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Because she herself knew in her heart that moving to the border town was not appropriate.
At that moment, she desperately wanted to go to the border town and settle down there, so that she could better fulfill Lin Chaoxi and the others' needs, since she had the mall.
Moreover, because she has a marketplace, she can help improve the soil in the border town, allowing the crops she grows to gradually increase in production, and eventually even become self-sufficient.
These were just her own beautiful ideas. Reality is reality. It's not that she couldn't go to the border town, but the people there weren't just for show. Who knew if they couldn't turn the wilderness into a granary?
Yue Jiuyue still works hard every day, not doing housework or farm work in the fields, but running all over the mountains and fields, either digging for medicinal herbs or processing them.
When the first snow fell, Yue Jiuyue subconsciously thought of selling snow.
I sold them before, but back then I was planning to sell snow dolls.
