When the Li family was building an additional house, Li's father looked for people from the same village who were on good terms with him. He asked other workers to find their relatives or people from the mountain villages who were close to them and were willing to come to work for the Li family.

Father Li admitted that he would not treat them to a meal, but would give each person an extra 5 cents per day. In this regard, they were willing to do so, especially the people from Dashan Village.

They can earn an extra five cents a day. It will take the Li family at least half a month to build four brick houses, and they can earn an extra 75 cents in half a month. Of course they are happy about this good thing.

As for why a few more rooms are not built for future children, Father Li thinks this way. Not to mention that she is not pregnant now, even if she is pregnant, it will take at least five years from the time the child is born to the time he needs a room to be independent.

Wouldn't it be better to wait five years and then build a new house for your grandchildren instead of letting the room remain vacant for five years and become an old house?

Even if they don't build a new house, their parents' current house is still habitable, right? Especially since they live so close to me!

When the day came to pick up the jar, Father Li went to the county and first selected a male donkey that had just reached adulthood and was in high spirits. He spent eight taels of silver on it. In fact, eight taels of silver could buy a calf that was almost full-grown. He felt that a cow was more cost-effective than a donkey.

But Aye said that it was his wife's idea.

Well, Aye’s wife is the head of the family. She is very self-conscious and thinks about herself instead of herself, but about the feelings of the family members.

He harnessed the donkey to a simple wooden cart, which was neither new nor old. The owner of the donkey sold it to him at half price, half as a gift, because he was so easy to talk to.

Father Li went to the ceramic workshop to buy the pottery jars customized by A Ye's wife, as well as the specially made large wine jars. He then went to the grocery store to buy some salt and other condiments. He also went to the grain store to buy 20 kilograms of white flour. After all, the village grew rice but not wheat, so he could buy rice in the village but not flour. Then he drove the donkey cart home.

The donkey could indeed follow the path, but the donkey cart could not, so it could only make a big circle from the beginning of the village through the center of the village and return to the home at the end of the village.

He had a cart full of stuff. Although I didn't understand why he bought so many pots and jars, he did buy a donkey!

And it’s such a young and strong donkey.

One villager couldn't help but shout out out of curiosity: "Hey Dahong, did your family get rich?"

Father Li knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, many different rumors would spread in the village, which would be very detrimental to their family.

He smiled and said, "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is quite strong and knows about herbs. Our family of three went into the mountains a few days ago and hunted a lot of prey. My daughter-in-law was lucky and picked some Ganoderma lucidum and exchanged it for dozens of taels of silver."

The onlookers understood instantly that Father Li was a bodyguard before and was skilled in martial arts and had broad knowledge. He led his daughter-in-law and son into the mountains. Even though his son was a hindrance, he could help with walking on the mountain road, and his daughter-in-law was a good hunter.

Hiss——I suddenly envy the Li family!

Ever since Li Yan married Li Guizi, the Li family's life has been getting better and better. First, they accidentally picked ginseng and bought medicine for Li Dahong to cure his illness.

Later, the family went hunting in the mountains and not only earned enough money to build a house, but also had some money left to buy a donkey.

Could this Li Yanshi be the reincarnation of a lucky star? She is truly a lucky woman!

"Why did you buy so many small jars like this?"

"My son asked me to buy it. It's not worth much. It's rare that he's happy."

It has to be said that when the young men of Xin Ye's age heard this, they felt a little jealous. Why didn't they have such a good life to have such a doting father?

"I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'm going to go home and drink some water. I'm exhausted after running all day. Oh, I have to admit that I'm getting old." Father Li said as he drove the donkey forward. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he didn't want to chat anymore.

The tactless person even asked how much the donkey cost, but Uncle Li pretended not to hear and ran away.

All the bottles and jars were in place, and the theoretical knowledge of wine-making was put into practice the past two days. It felt fine, so the next day Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye went to pick wild grapes, while Father Li supervised the work at home.

The workers saw the couple picking several baskets of wild grapes with great effort. The man from Dashan Village couldn't help but remind them, "Daye, these purple grapes are sour and astringent, and they are not tasty."

"It doesn't matter, it will taste better if you add some sugar." Xin Ye said with a smile.

This remark caused the others to burst into laughter. This was such a waste of candy, but it was someone else's family affair and they had no right to comment. They could still laugh it off.

"Hey~ What happened is so funny?" A voice caught everyone's attention. Xin Ye turned his head and looked over. His eyes lit up, showing his white teeth, and he shouted, "First cousin, second cousin."

"Dad, two cousins ​​are here to visit you!" He called out "Dad Li" and turned to limp to greet the guests.

"Eldest uncle" Chen Yong and "Second uncle" Xu Jianuo walked over with a smile.

As soon as Father Li heard the codeword "cousin", he knew who the visitor was and hurried over to greet him: "It's been many years, my two cousins, please come in."

When Xu Jianuo saw the large basket of wild grapes carried by the Xinye couple, his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that we came at such a good time, and there are grapes to welcome our visit."

Xin Ye smiled and said, "The wild fruits in the mountains are sour and astringent. If you don't mind, you can try some."

Xu Jianuo waved his hands when he heard this: "No, my teeth can't stand this torture."

In the eyes of outsiders, their family and relatives were very cordial, but when they returned to the living room, they instantly regained their serious appearance and saluted them respectfully.

After the greetings, we got down to business - going to take a look at the sweet potato field.

The young couple accompanied them to see the sweet potato field. Before leaving, Yan Yiyi took a vegetable basket and went out.

Seeing with their own eyes an acre of green sweet potato vines, the magistrate and the legal advisor seemed to see a scene in the future where this vast land would be planted with sweet potatoes and the people of Zhao would be able to have enough to eat, and they couldn't help but feel their eyes turn red.

I rubbed my eyes and a grain of sand came out.

"When can we dig sweet potatoes?" asked the magistrate.

"Before winter." Xin Ye gave a time, and then added, "We will inform you two first then."

"Okay!" The magistrate couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The master pointed to a field of chili peppers not far away and said, "Why do those red fruits look so familiar to me?"

"That's chili peppers. Many rich families use them as ornamental objects. My father once ate dishes made with chili peppers when he was away. We have already harvested a crop of chili peppers. I have used them to make many delicious dishes. How about asking the two adults to taste the dishes I made at noon?"

"Oh? You can cook?" The master couldn't help but glance at Yan Yiyi who was picking peppers.

"My wife is not good at cooking, and my father's cooking is not as delicious as mine, so I am the one who cooks at home." Xin Ye's proud look made the two feel that he was more sincere and real.

"Okay, then we won't be polite." The magistrate agreed immediately. He was also curious about what the dishes cooked with this pepper would taste like. It was said that eating this pepper would give a burning sensation, so he had never dared to try it.
