Yunxi thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she put the question out of her mind.
After searching every corner of the house, she took the stack of loose change and scattered receipts and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, my eyes caught sight of the four memorial tablets on the offering table. For a fleeting moment, a thought popped into my head: we are still in the mourning period, it seems like we are observing the mourning period.
At first, I didn't understand what mourning meant, but after I understood it, my face suddenly fell.
Just when you've finally started to appreciate the benefits of being human, you suddenly discover that there are things you can't do, and all sorts of little customs that give you a real headache.
Moreover, since it hasn't been a year since my grandmother passed away, there are still some customs that need to be observed.
Thinking that I had at least taken over someone else's body, it seemed normal for me to observe 100 days of mourning, and with other customs added in, it didn't seem like such a difficult thing.
After all, as a peach tree spirit, even now that she has become human, she doesn't seem to have much of a concept of time.
In her eyes, a year seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, and thinking about it made her less reluctant to accept it.
Once you've thought it through, come out of the house and lock the door behind you.
As for where the valuables in his home came from?
Yunxi said she didn't know and wasn't curious; as long as it was in her hands now, that was enough.
I locked Grandma's room and decided not to go in unless absolutely necessary.
Back in the room where I woke up that morning, there was a large kang (heated brick bed) measuring 2.5 meters by 3 meters, which was indeed quite big.
Besides the quilt and mattress I used, there were two boxes on the kang (heated brick bed). I could guess that they contained clothes, so I didn't think about opening them.
Besides the sleeping area, which connects to the kitchen outside, there's a small table on the kang (heated brick bed) in the corner, and a wardrobe on the other side of the kang.
He sat down directly on the stool where the little girl usually did her homework and carefully sorted out the scattered coins and bills.
The money had been sorted out at the beginning, and it was only a few cents short of a hundred dollars. The most important thing was the receipts.
Because Yunxi was still a bit confused, she read it quite slowly. Combining it with her memory, she found that there was a watch coupon, two sugar coupons, one cloth coupon, five grain coupons, and three daily necessities coupons.
The watch ticket must have been brought back by the little girl's father when he was in the army. It was a very valuable item, and her grandmother couldn't bear to buy it, so she kept it.
Fortunately, most of them were military ration coupons, so there was no need to worry about them expiring. Only the cloth coupons were issued by the village and were not long away from expiring.
After having a clear understanding of the situation, I stored everything in my spatial storage.
Suddenly, I noticed the pile of mushrooms inside the space that looked like a small mountain, as well as the few prey I had collected.
I originally planned to spend a leisurely afternoon at home and do some more studying, but seeing all those mushrooms in my space, as a diligent peach tree, I just couldn't stay idle.
There happened to be a large empty space in the front yard, so I took out the drying mat from home and put it outside. After sorting the mushrooms a little, I just put them there to dry.
He sorted through the contents of the basket and poured them onto the mat. Seeing that there was still half a day left, he took some out of his spatial storage.
After the entire drying mat was filled with the sun, I started thinking of ways to deal with the pile of sunflowers in the space.
After thinking it over and over, I could only come up with a clumsy solution: use a sewing needle from home to string the mushrooms together and hang them under the eaves or where we usually hang clothes to dry.
None of the mushrooms were washed, because this is how people here dry them directly in the sun. They just roughly pick them out and wash them clean when they're ready to cook them.
I just took out my needle and thread, and my basket was full of mushrooms. I picked through them first, and then I prepared to start stringing the mushrooms together.
Then I heard someone knocking on the door and cursing loudly.
"You wild girl with no father or mother, you pushed my granddaughter and you actually think you can just hide in the house and not say a word? Let me tell you, it's not that easy. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make sure you can't have any peace. Let's see what you have to say then, you damned girl who brings bad luck to your father, mother, and the whole family."
Because Yunxi had just transmigrated, many people's voices were unfamiliar to her. She could only clearly remember who someone was after meeting them in person.
But even if he couldn't recognize the voice of the person outside, he could tell from the content of her words that Yun Zhaodi was definitely lying at home.
Her whole family is terrible, except for her mother and her grandmother, they're the kind who will always find a way to cause trouble no matter what.
Anyway, the door is pretty sturdy, and it locked again when I went in, so I just pretended I didn't hear it.
You'd be better off sewing a couple more bunches of mushrooms instead.
However, she also knew that it wouldn't last long. Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, would definitely not let her be so arrogant and would definitely go to find Grandpa Yun or one of the other grandfathers.
They're all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They think that since they're an orphan now, they can be manipulated at will, so they've come here to ask for favors.
Although Yunxi had never seen this before, she was quite excited. She hadn't experienced such interesting gossip in a long time.
In the past, she could only listen to the gossip of animals and plants, listening to them chat about all sorts of little tidbits in their own language. That was her way of passing the time.
She was originally sitting under the eaves to avoid the scorching sun, but now he didn't care about the heat and quickly carried a stool and a basket to the front door.
Separated by only a wall, you can hear it much more clearly from here.
Outside, Yun Zhaodi's grandmother was cursing and swearing, and Yunxi felt that the knowledge in her mind was becoming more and more like her own.
Originally, no matter how harsh her words were, Yunxi would only half understand them because she was a bit slow to react. But after hearing them many times, she could immediately understand the meaning behind them.
Moreover, the language used in the insults is becoming increasingly unbearable and increasingly vicious.
Yunxi originally thought that since she was new here, she should keep a low profile, but now she felt that if she was too low-key, she would be bullied.
He put the mushrooms he was skewering into the basket, then went to the woodshed and found a thick stick. He measured it and found it to be quite sturdy.
He grabbed the stick, rushed to the door, opened it, and without caring that the people outside looked stunned, he started hitting them with the stick.
