When Ye Weiwei heard that her second brother had gone on a mission, her eyelids twitched. Counting the days, her second brother was injured during a mission in this winter.
I tried to subtly inquire where my second brother had gone on his mission, but he just said "it's a secret" and hung up.
After returning home, Ye Weiwei took the initiative to tell him what her father had said on the phone.
Ye Huaiyu was delighted to hear this: "It should have been done a long time ago!"
After hearing this, Ye's mother didn't say anything, but just sighed.
Ye Weiwei knew what her mother was worried about.
Actually, she didn't believe that Ye's father could really drive those scoundrels out of the house.
All Ye Weiwei wanted was her father's attitude. As long as he was firm, she didn't need him to personally intervene in the following matters.
Although she can't contact her second brother now and is thousands of miles away, there are plenty of ways to drive those people away.
After comforting her mother, Ye Weiwei went to attend to other matters.
Third Brother wants to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, so she's getting ready to go with him.
Now that it's getting cold, it's time to stock up on wild game and mountain produce for the winter.
Stock up before it snows, because it won't be so easy to go up the mountain after it snows.
Especially now that her family has a large number of members, it's easier to store some meat at the old house. We'll also store more for Old Du and the others in the shed, so they can eat more meat during the winter and make life easier.
Because of Grandpa Qin, life in the shed has improved considerably. Before he left, Grandpa Qin gave the village a sum of money and asked the village chief, Lu Mingfa, to find someone to help repair and reinforce the houses there, and also to buy some things. All of these were done openly, so they could use them with peace of mind and without worrying about being caught doing anything wrong.
When Huo Xiao returned home that evening, Ye Weiwei had just told him about the phone call from her father when Huo Xiao said, "Chu Zhao called me today and asked me to ask you if you need his help with the house. The people he sent to pick up my parents and take them back to Kyoto are still there."
Ye Weiwei's eyes lit up, and then she looked up at Huo Xiao, "Why didn't he just tell me about this?"
Huo Xiao snorted lightly: "Of course, this matter should be discussed with me, the head of the family, first."
That guy was at least perceptive and knew his limits.
Ye Weiwei found it amusing, but chuckled twice and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter entirely to you, the head of the family, and I won't interfere."
Huo Xiao pinched Ye Weiwei's little nose, "Okay, wife, just wait for our good news!"
Ye Weiwei slapped his hand away, "Just talk, don't get physical."
Huo Xiao stretched out his long legs and hooked her in a circle, pressing down on Ye Weiwei's wrist with his large hand, and said righteously, "Now that's what you call touching her!"
The next day, Ye Huaiyu got up very early, and after breakfast, he couldn't wait to carry his basket on his back and take Ye Weiwei up the mountain.
Seeing the two leave, Ye's mother chased after them, repeatedly telling them to be careful. But the two ran so fast that it was unclear whether they listened or not.
Seeing Ye's mother's nervous appearance, Liu Guilan couldn't help but laugh and said, "In-law, don't worry. With Weiwei, our lucky star, we'll definitely bring her back safely."
Ye's mother chuckled, "I'm just worried that the brat will lose his sense of propriety and get too carried away, neglecting Weiwei."
Liu Guilan said, "You don't need to worry about that at all. Weiwei knows this mountain better than I do."
She had lived at the foot of the mountain for decades without knowing there were tea trees there, but Weiwei found them as soon as she arrived.
And those few people from the educated youth settlement, every time they went up the mountain with Weiwei, no matter how many bags they brought, they always came down with them full, never empty.
Two days ago, Weiwei told her to go back and tell her eldest and second son's wives that if you go straight up to the west for about half a mile, there is a small valley with several fruit trees, including persimmon trees, hawthorn trees, jujube trees, and wild walnut trees.
Those few days, the eldest and second eldest families couldn't care about anything else. They went up the mountain every day to pick fruit, and it took them several days to bring everything home. They didn't lack fruit to eat all winter, and they even shared a lot with their in-laws, Zhao Dayong's family, which made Zhao Dayong's children very happy.
Hearing Liu Guilan say this, Ye's mother felt much relieved, but since she hadn't seen the two siblings return, she couldn't help but keep looking towards the door.
As soon as Ye Weiwei and Ye Huaiyu went up the mountain, they were like little ponies running wild.
It was Ye Huaiyu's first time up the mountain, and everything he saw was strange and interesting. Ye Weiwei, on the other hand, already knew where the good things were and specifically picked out what caught her eye.
Along the way, Ye Huaiyu picked up everything he saw into his basket, not wanting to miss anything edible, and kept shouting loudly, which made Ye Weiwei unable to bear watching.
When Ye Huaiyu's basket was almost full, Ye Weiwei's basket was still empty. Ye Huaiyu then started nagging her, criticizing her for not knowing how to manage money.
Ye Weiwei wanted to roll her eyes in exasperation, but decided to take her third brother to do something big today and broaden his horizons.
She led her third brother all the way to the ginseng "base" that she had cultivated using her supernatural abilities.
When Ye Huaiyu saw the seven or eight wild ginseng plants on the ground, he was shocked and his eyes widened. He even stammered.
"Little...little sister...this...quickly slap me...see if I'm dreaming..."
Ye Weiwei mischievously grabbed his ear and twisted it so hard it hurt Ye Huaiyu so much that tears streamed down his face. He begged for mercy repeatedly, "Little sister... be gentle... it hurts... my ear is going to fall off..."
"Third Brother, can you tell if you're dreaming or not?"
Ye Huaiyu nodded excitedly, "I've figured it out! Little sister, with so many ginseng, we're rich! You're such a lucky star!"
Ye Weiwei couldn't help but tease, "Quickly close your jaw, time to dig for ginseng!"
"They're here!"
Ye Huaiyu is full of energy.
The two siblings dug for more than an hour before they could collect all the ginseng from the ground, wrapped it in some leaves, and put it in their baskets.
After digging up the ginseng, when they went to look for other things, Ye Huaiyu was worried and kept subconsciously checking Ye Weiwei's basket, afraid that the ginseng inside would grow wings and fly away. He even discussed with Ye Weiwei whether they should go back first, take the ginseng home and hide it before coming back.
Ye Weiwei found it amusing and led him onward.
She only dug up a few ginseng roots, what's the big deal? She said she would show Third Brother her skills, but she hasn't shown him how she hunts yet!
Then, that morning, Ye Huaiyu's jaw dropped and never had a chance to close again.
The wild rabbits seemed to be possessed, darting around their feet and crashing into trees as if they had no eyes.
And those pheasants, I don't know what happened, they looked even weirder, they just ran right up to their feet and lay down and wouldn't move, we couldn't even chase them away!
While others chase their prey all over the mountains, these hunters just stand still and let pheasants and rabbits come to them!
It's like getting it for free.
