Three bowls of wontons cost her twelve yuan, and Meng Changjin sincerely lamented that money really doesn't go away.
Meng Changjin didn't stay in the market for too long. After taking Da Niu and Er Niu out, he went straight back.
On the way back, Meng Changjin took Da Niu and Er Niu on a motorcycle. Although they couldn't go directly home, they still saved more than an hour on the road.
After getting off the motorcycle, Meng Changjin looked at it more eagerly.
The owner of the motorcycle saw the way Meng Changjin was staring at his motorcycle, so he took the money and rode away quickly.
Receiving the look from the car owner before he rode away, Meng Changjin's mouth twitched slightly.
Then he took the big girl and the second girl and walked towards home.
It takes them about half an hour to walk back from where they got off the bus, mainly because the main road is blocked and there is only a muddy path from here to home, so they can only walk back by themselves.
There is a widened dirt road in the other direction, but it is a long detour and these motorcycle owners are simply unwilling to make the trip.
But even if someone is willing, Meng Changjin might not be willing to do so.
The long distance means more money to spend, and as someone who has just escaped from the dilemma of having her pockets cleaner than her face, she will not spend money on such unnecessary things.
She was willing to spend money to take the bus back, on the one hand because she wanted to save some time, and on the other hand because the eldest and second daughters were too small, and it would take four hours to go back and forth, which was too much activity.
It took about half an hour to walk back along the muddy path from getting off the bus. Since he had no watch or other timing tools, Meng Changjin judged the time by looking at the sun.
The eldest and second daughter were very excited along the way. The two little girls skipped and jumped in front, and would gather together and whisper from time to time.
It can be seen that over the past few days, the personalities of these two little girls have become much more cheerful.
After all, she is a little girl. No matter how calm her personality is, she should have some childish nature. It's just that she was in such an environment before that all her childish nature was suppressed, and she showed it in the form of silence and not daring to speak.
Now that I have a very good mother to take care of me, my mentality has naturally changed and I have become a little braver.
Meng Changjin followed behind and looked quite satisfied.
She was planning to fulfill the client's long-cherished wish and divorce Hao Jianye, then take the two girls away and send them to school. If the two were too cowardly, Meng Changjin was worried that they would be bullied by their classmates when they went to school.
However, she felt relieved when she saw that the two children were gradually becoming braver and more cheerful.
The most important thing now is to make money.
When I got home, the house was quiet. It seemed that Hao Jianye and the old lady had not returned yet.
Meng Changjin asked Da Niu and Er Niu to stay at home and help her watch over the herbs drying in the yard, and she went up the mountain carrying a backpack and a sickle.
After Meng Changjin went up the mountain, she walked along the route where she had set traps yesterday. It was just a formality, but she didn't expect that prey would actually be caught in the trap.
A fat wild duck, if it weren't for its fur, it would conservatively weigh more than five kilograms.
This wild duck must have come to this area to look for food, then stepped into the trap set by Meng Changjin, and was hung up by vines.
The feathers were already a little messy, and it seemed that it had been hanging for a while.
Meng Changjin tied the fat wild duck with the vine and put it into the backpack.
With this fat wild duck, today is not a complete failure.
Meng Changjin released his spiritual awareness, which had become even stronger, to look for prey and medicinal herbs.
Because she had already searched the area yesterday and didn't find anything good, Meng Changjin went deeper into the forest.
As his spiritual awareness spread, Meng Changjin really found something good.
Looking at the small red fruit on the top of the plant, this is ginseng, and it looks to be quite old, at least a hundred years old.
Meng Changjin put down the backpack, used a sickle to cut a stick into a shape suitable for digging ginseng, and then began to dig ginseng with full concentration.
Compared to some medicinal herb diggers who have to tie red ropes and copper coins when digging ginseng, Meng Changjin is simply too simple.
But in fact, although this ginseng is quite old, it is not a monster and there is no problem of it running away.
Meng Changjin has a talent for refining medicine, not only in this area, but also in identifying and collecting medicinal materials.
Now I have calmed down and started digging ginseng, and I am doing it quite well.
After digging out the ginseng root intact, Meng Changjin looked up and found that it had darkened.
After finding a few large leaves to wrap up the wild ginseng, Meng Changjin took his things and hurried down the mountain.
I didn't notice it when I was concentrating on digging ginseng, but now that I started moving, I realized that my legs were stiff from squatting on the ground for so long, and my neck was in unbearable pain from bowing my head for so long.
Meng Changjin moved his neck as he walked, and pounded his legs with his free hand.
The stiffness and numbness caused by long-term poor blood circulation gradually faded away. Meng Changjin had already walked out of the forest and could see the outline of the yard from afar.
Meng Changjin took a look and then looked away, preparing to return home before it got dark.
However, as soon as he looked away, Meng Changjin noticed something was wrong.
When she looked up, she saw smoke rising from the yard.
Someone in the house started a fire.
But there are only two little girls in the family, where would someone come from to light the fire?
Meng Changjin felt something was wrong and hurried down the mountain, thinking that Hao Jianye and the old lady might have returned.
She was not at home. If the old lady and Hao Jianye really came back, they would definitely think that she had just left, and the eldest and second girls would definitely become the targets of their anger.
This was something Meng Changjin had not considered carefully enough. All she could do now was to rush back as soon as possible.
However, as the distance to home got closer, Meng Changjin's spiritual sense could already see the scene in the yard clearly.
After seeing the situation in the yard clearly, Meng Changjin breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so anxious.
Pushing open the door and walking into the yard, Meng Changjin immediately saw two dirty, tearful little girls.
The next second, the two little girls rushed up like two little cannonballs and threw themselves into Meng Changjin's arms.
"Mom, you're finally back. I thought you left alone without taking us with you. Hiccup." Erniu wiped her tears and spoke while sobbing, and finally she hiccupped.
Compared to Erniu, Daniu was much quieter, but the hand that was tightly holding Meng Changjin's sleeve indicated that Daniu probably thought the same as Erniu, that she had left secretly and didn't plan to take them with her.
