The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Crescent Village is not big, and we soon arrived at Third Uncle's house. We knocked on the door, and it was Third Uncle's eldest daughter-in-law Song Jiao who opened the door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here. Come in quickly." Song Jiao took the luggage from Ye Xiuying.

"Sister-in-law, since you have decided to move out, you can live in our old house first and stay as long as you want." Song Jiao said enthusiastically, holding Ye Xiuying's hand.

Ye Xiuying wiped away the gloom on her face and smiled, "I'm sorry to trouble you. These are the musk deer that Qingcheng and the others hunted in the mountains. You can take the meat and feed it to the children."

"Look at you, what are you holding? The harvest has been poor in recent years and everyone is having a hard time. You should keep it for yourself. Zicheng is still growing."

"You must accept it, otherwise, our family will feel guilty." Ye Xiuying asked Chuyi to put the meat on the table for them.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? We should be the ones to say thank you."

"Song Jiao, take the key and take your sister-in-law and the others over first. Help with the cleanup. Once everything is done, come over for dinner together." Third Uncle was sitting on a chair, holding a pipe in his hand, and speaking while puffing out smoke.

The old house was not far from my third uncle's house, so I arrived there quickly. I pushed open the low gate and walked in. The yard was overgrown with weeds. There was a main hall in the north and two side rooms on the east and west sides. The paper on the windows was torn and it looked very desolate.

"Wait for your elder brother to come to town tomorrow and bring you some window paper, and everything will be neat once you clean it up."

"It's really spacious here, and the main room has good lighting." Ye Xiuying was very satisfied.

A few people entered the main room. There were spider webs hanging from the beams, and when the door was opened, mice ran along the wall.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring you a cat. With a cat in your house, there won't be any mice."

"Auntie, that's so thoughtful. Thank you."

"Qingcheng, let's put down our things and clean up first."

"Sister-in-law, there is a well in the yard. I covered the well mouth to prevent dirt from entering. You can open it and use it. I see it is getting late, I will go back to cook and you can come over to eat later."

"Sister-in-law, we brought our own dry food, so we won't go over to eat. We have to clean up a room tonight."

"Then I'll bring it to you later, and also bring some candles, oil lamps, etc." Song Jiao said and left.

Ye Xiuying began to clean up the house with Wen Qingcheng and others. Chuyi went to the yard to fetch water, and Zicheng also came to help. Soon they cleaned up the main house.

The main house faces south and has two bedrooms and a living room. Two wooden beds, just put on the bedding. But if Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi share a room, there is only one bed. Does this mean she and Chuyi should lie together?

Wen Qingcheng thought that she must clean up another room tomorrow. It would be better for them to sleep separately. Chuyi was the original owner's husband, not her husband or her boyfriend. It was nothing for them to sleep in the same bed.

Just as I sat down to rest, Song Jiao came over with the meal. "I didn't prepare any good dishes in such a hurry, so fill your stomach first."

"Look, you're running again." Ye Xiuying hurriedly took the bamboo basket from Song Jiao.

"I also got some candles and oil lamps."

"Thank you so much. I'll find a cart to bring all my belongings here tomorrow."

"Don't thank me anymore, we are all family, it would be awkward to thank each other all the time. Sister-in-law, your good days are ahead of you. Qingcheng is so pretty and capable, don't bother with that family."

Chuyi was already hungry, so he and Zicheng had already sat down and taken out the food, waiting obediently for Wen Qingcheng to come before eating.

Ye Xiuying felt the long-lost warmth, the warmth that should exist between sisters-in-law. She took Song Yu's hand and said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, I won't say much to thank you. I've remembered it all in my heart. Don't give us so many things in the future."

"Hey! It's not worth anything. You guys eat first. I'll go back and get busy."

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng sent Song Jiao to the gate, watched her leave, and then went back to eat.

"You've been busy all day. Come and eat. Eat more." Ye Xiuying kept putting food into the three people's bowls. Wen Qingcheng hurriedly stopped her. On the one hand, she wanted Ye Xiuying to eat more, and on the other hand, she was not used to others picking food for her, as they had always eaten separately in their previous life.

"Mom, don't rush to serve us food, eat more yourself."

Ye Xiuying hadn't had such a warm dinner for a long time. She used to cook with Qingcheng in the kitchen and eat the leftovers after they finished eating. During the New Year and other festivals, she was busy in the kitchen for most of the day, and in the end, she and Qingcheng didn't even have the right to sit at the table.

Now seeing her two children around her, she has gradually come out of the haze of losing her husband, and her mood has instantly become much brighter.

After dinner, Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying rushed to wash the dishes, and finally decided to let Chuyi do it. After cleaning up, the family sat around the lamp, and Ye Xiuying did needlework and talked about moving.

"Although your Third Uncle's old house is empty, we can't live there for free. I thought about paying them rent so that we can live there with peace of mind."

"Mom, I'll do whatever you say. Don't worry about the money. I have a piece of musk in my hand. I'll go to the county tomorrow and sell it."

Wen Qingcheng said as she reached out to Chu Yiyi, who looked at her innocently. "Musk, take it out."

“No.”

"What?!" Wen Qingcheng almost fainted. She asked Chuyi to pick it from under the eaves. The Wen family didn't know what it was, so they didn't have to worry about them embezzling it. What she was worried about was that they would treat it as a piece of rotten meat and feed it to the dogs.

Wen Qingcheng was so angry that she wanted to hit him on the head, but her hand stopped when it reached his head. She wondered if she had expected too much from him, after all, he was a fool.

"Hey hey hey."

Chuyi smiled slyly, revealing two rows of white teeth. He put his hands behind his back and took out a silk bag from behind.

"You idiot! You want to scare me to death?" Wen Qingcheng slapped him in annoyance. She didn't expect that this idiot still knew how to tease her. She really suspected that this guy was pretending.

"Chuyi is not stupid, he is very smart." Ye Xiuying smiled dotingly. "Can the musk you mentioned be sold?"

Although Ye Xiuying knew that musk was a medicinal herb, what channels could they use to sell it? How much could it be sold for? Could they earn enough to cover the round-trip fare to the county town?

"I know Doctor Wang in the county. Ask him to help me find out."

"Let's go tomorrow afternoon. Let's clean up the kitchen early tomorrow morning and hire a cart to bring all the furniture over. We can build a stove and cook our own meals. Otherwise, we will have to eat at your uncle's house every day. Life is not easy now, and they have a big family to eat with. Even if they don't say anything, we won't feel comfortable doing that."

"Well, once we are settled, I will go out and look for a job."

"Haha, in our village, young girls and wives don't go out to work. Mom is in good health now, so she can continue to do laundry and mending for others. If she saves a little, she can make a living."
