On the return trip on the ox cart, although the things in the sisters' backpacks were not very obvious, a lot of them could be seen.
Auntie Pang couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Daya, is it the head of the village who is building the house, or are you building the house?"
Sooner or later, this matter will be revealed. Song Yuehua said, "It's me."
Aunt Pang was speechless for a moment. Although she didn't say anything, her heart felt like it was being bitten by a bug, and she had a lot of questions to ask.
Have you become rich? Where did you become rich? Can you take me with you?
Forget it, forget it, I can’t ask. I can’t ask.
Song Yuehua lowered her head, completely unaware of the inner struggle that Aunt Pang was experiencing at the moment.
Naturally, everyone on the ox cart had their own ideas.
Some people think that what kind of money can a ten-year-old kid have? It all depends on the little money divided up from the family. If you say you are building a house, don’t call it building a house just by putting up a thatched hut.
A young man sitting next to Grandpa Ma, nicknamed Erguotou, turned around and asked directly, "Daya, how big is your house going to be?"
Everyone's ears pricked up.
Song Yuehua whispered, "The house is just as big as a house."
Erguotou, “…” Are you kidding me?
"How many rooms do you plan to build?" Erguotou asked unwillingly.
"Erguotou, you've been running around the county town a lot these days! But what are you busy with?" Ma Ye interrupted.
Erguotou's expression froze, and he said in a panic, "No, I'm just wandering around. Uncle Ma, please be careful not to hurt the cow."
After that, no one said anything more.
This time we bought a lot of things, so Master Ma delivered them to the door. As soon as the things landed, he drove away on his ox cart.
After moving the things into the house, they first cut the fat and put it in a pot to boil oil, while Xiaoyu squatted beside and watched the fire.
Song Yuehua got up and started packing the things she had bought today.
Since Xiaoyu recovered from her illness, the four of them slept on one bed again, and the bamboo bed they had bought before was piled with miscellaneous items.
Looking at the diapers, clothes, and newly bought fabrics placed on the bamboo bed, Song Yuehua thought that it would not be a good idea to keep going like this.
After saying something to Xiaoyu, Song Yuehua ran to the bamboo craftsman's house and spent 150 coins to buy three large bamboo boxes.
There are three bamboo boxes, one for cotton, one for cloth, and one for the family's clothes and diapers.
Several boxes were stacked together, leaving half of the bamboo bed empty, and the place looked a lot tidier.
After being busy for a while, Grandma Wang sent the two treasures back.
Xiaoyu was busy heating milk and feeding the baby, while Song Yuehua dragged her tired body to cook.
I really can’t cook dinner, so I have to keep it simple.
Boil the vegetables in water, chop them and stir-fry them with lard, sprinkle more salt, stir-fry evenly, pour them directly into the cooked rice, mix well, and simmer for one minute.
Each person has a bowl of rice and vegetables in the evening.
After cleaning up, the two were finally able to lie down on the bed and have a good rest.
In the middle of the night, Xiaoyu was about to go out with the oil lamp when Song Yuehua called her, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Xiaoyu nodded shyly.
"Didn't I tell you to use the toilet?" Song Yuehua rubbed her eyes and asked.
Xiaoyu blushed and lowered her head. After a long moment of awkwardness, she said softly, "It will stink."
Song Yuehua stood up, carried the toilet to the corner, demonstrated, and then pulled up her pants.
"Okay, it's your turn. If you don't like the smell, just take it outside the door. Remember to cover it with the lid and pour it out in the morning."
After saying that, he yawned and lay back down on the bed.
After going to the toilet, Song Yuehua felt a little sleepless and was thinking about going back to the mountain tomorrow.
I still have 13 taels of silver, which is barely enough to get through the winter. If I could make a little more money, it would make me feel more at ease.
Once the house is built, food supplies for the entire winter also need to be purchased.
Firewood is not expensive, but it is laborious. The two kangs in the house are both big firewood burners, so a lot of firewood must be prepared.
We also need to dry some vegetables and cured meat, otherwise when the weather gets cold, no oxcarts will run to the county town, and then it will be difficult to buy vegetables even if you have money.
There was also a trap set on the mountain, which made me worried.
It was my first time in the mountains and I was naturally cautious as I was unfamiliar with the environment. This time, I just needed to calculate the distance and time well, so I could go in the morning and come back in the evening.
Early in the morning, Song Yuehua baked four pancakes, left two for Xiaoyu, and took two away for herself.
Last time, they discovered a large area of mushrooms in the mountains. This time, Song Yuehua specially carried two backpacks and the sickle and pickaxe she had just bought.
The second time she went into the mountains, Song Yuehua had a better idea of what was going on, and this time the route and destination were very clear.
When she trotted to the place where the trap was set, she was instantly shocked by the scene in front of her.
The hemp rope broke into several pieces, and the stones wrapped in the cloth net were scattered all over the ground. The most pitiful thing was the big tree, which was broken from below by brute force, and the wood thorns at the break were hideous.
I'm afraid that they caught a big guy here, and somehow he broke free from the rope, and in his anger he even broke the tree.
The big tree suffered an unexpected disaster because of her.
After collecting the hemp rope and cloth net, Song Yuehua took out a sickle, cut a few branches from the fallen tree, and put them into the backpack.
After leaving here, Song Yuehua did not plan to go any deeper. If she encountered that mad big guy, she would be injured if not killed. There was no need to take such a risk.
A lot of new mushrooms have grown in the mushroom field. Just cut them lightly with a sickle and a large area will fall down.
Song Yuehua thought to herself with amusement, while others were wielding sickles in the fields to harvest rice, she was wielding sickles in the mountains to harvest mushrooms. Let's have fun together! Let's have fun together!
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. With the help of the sickle, it took only one hour to harvest a full basket of mushrooms.
Song Yuehua left an empty backpack and prepared to pick some more fungus.
When I found it, there were not many fungus plants, but I saw a large patch of millet.
