The little ancestor of the family

After leaving this area, Ye Xinran walked a little further up in the direction the two women had just come down, and sure enough, she found a large patch of Kudzu vines.

Kudzu vines are strong and can be used to weave baskets, but judging from the expressions of the two women just now, it was obvious that they did not know that kudzu roots are edible.

This large patch of kudzu vines is more than ten square meters in size. If the kudzu vines are dug out from below, they would weigh more than a thousand kilograms.

With over a thousand kilograms of kudzu vines, do you still need to worry about going hungry?

Never let others get the upper hand.

Having made up her mind, Ye Xinran dug a small piece of kudzu root from the edge and went down the mountain.

When they got home, Changping and Changan came up to greet them immediately, and they were amazed at the clothes in Ye Xin's dyeing basket.

"Aunt, where did this come from? This dress looks very beautiful."

Changan said.

"My aunt just saved a man who fell into a trap on the mountain. The man had no money, so he had to take off his coat as a thank you gift. I think this coat is nice, bring it back and alter it for your eldest brother to wear."

"That's great!" Chang'an's eyes sparkled as he gently stroked the soft clothes. "Brother finally has beautiful clothes to wear. I'll bring them to show you."

Changsheng was reading in the room when he saw Changan coming in with a pile of clothes. When he stepped over the threshold, he almost tripped over the hanging sleeves. Changsheng hurried over to help him up.

"Why are you running so fast?" Changsheng scolded.

"Look, big brother, your aunt brought you some beautiful clothes. You can wear them when you go to school."

Changsheng then took a closer look at the clothes in his hands.

This dress is indeed made of top-quality material, and even the embroidery is carefully crafted.

But Changsheng didn't know why he always had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"This dress is too good. I will feel uncomfortable wearing it. It would be better if my aunt sold it to buy some food."

Changsheng said.

His words were heard by Ye Xinran who was walking over.

Ye Xinran felt that there was some truth in it.

Now that the family is financially limited, it doesn't seem to be of much use to rely on just one piece of clothing to keep up appearances, so he said, "Okay, I'll sell the clothes later and buy new clothes for all three of you."

"Wow, thank you, auntie." Chang'an had never worn new clothes in his memory, so when his auntie said he had new clothes to wear, he immediately clapped his hands.

"Aunt, just buy new clothes for my brother. I can still wear the clothes I have now."

Changsheng hid the hole in his coat behind his back again.

"You are a scholar, so you still have to have some basic respectability. Auntie is not a calculating person. I will take care of the arrangements for the new clothes."

"But auntie," Changsheng still had a strange feeling, "Did the person who gave you the clothes say who he was? I always feel like I've seen him before."

"Hmm!" Ye Xinran cleared her throat. Even if she didn't ask, the other party wouldn't have the chance to tell her who he was.

"I'm just an ordinary passerby." She replied, "Since you don't want to wear it, I'll put it away first and sell it together when I go to the county town next time."

Together with the hairpin and jade pendant.

Ye Xinran didn't say it.

She took the clothes and went back to the house, stuffed them in casually, and began to check the ice spirit flowers she had picked.

You can’t bring anything into this space, so how can you make medicine even if you have the Ice Spirit Flower?

Ye Xinran was worried, but found that the ice spirit flowers in her hand disappeared out of thin air and all appeared in space.

It turns out that it’s not that space cannot store things, but that it cannot store irrelevant things.

"This is easy to handle!"

Ye Xinran was very happy. She took all three Ice Spirit Flowers into the space, and then found other herbs in the warehouse according to the ingredient list. After matching them, there was still one left. Ye Xinran put the remaining Ice Spirit Flower into the cold storage room, then started the instrument and let the program start running. The system showed that it would take half a month for the finished product to come out.

She exited the space, looked at the small piece of kudzu root in the frame, and began to think.

Her family definitely cannot finish eating such a large piece of Pueraria root. And judging from today's situation, if those women find that Pueraria root is edible, they will go up the mountain to dig it soon.

Then she needs to hurry up.

Thinking of this, she went outside to wash the Pueraria root, peeled it, cut it into small pieces and put it in a bowl.

"Chang'an, take me to the village head's house. I have something to tell him." she said.

"Okay! It just so happens that I miss Sister Yufeng too."

Chang'an held Ye Xinran's hand and skipped towards the headman's house. When he saw others on the way, Chang'an would greet them as uncles and aunts. The villagers called Chang'an happily, but when they looked up and saw Ye Xinran, they turned their heads away awkwardly and pretended not to see her.

It's quite awkward to want to get close but also keep a distance.

Ye Xinran didn't take it to heart and followed Changan all the way to the village head's house.

The headman's house is at the easternmost end of the village. It has five mud houses and a yard that is more than twice as large as that of the Xiao family's.

As soon as Ye Xinran walked to the door, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside: "All you do is give away the food at home every day.

Those who know you know you are the head of the village, while those who don’t think you are the village’s clay Buddha!”

As soon as this voice fell, the village head's unhurried voice came out: "Alas, these young people in the village, who is not related to each other?

As an elder, can I just watch them sell their children and do nothing?"

"That depends on your own family being wealthy."

The woman continued, "Our porridge is so thin that you can almost see your reflection in it. You can bear it.

But my baby Yufeng is still growing, and she can’t eat enough. She is as thin as a stick.

As a grandfather, you must also feel sorry for your granddaughter!"

"Mom, Dad has good intentions. I will go to the mountain tomorrow to look for wild fruits and bring them back for Yufeng to eat."

The headman's son consoled him.

"Okay, okay, you two are the good guys. I'm the only bad guy. I'm selfish and I don't care about the younger generation..."

The headman's wife, Mrs. Li, became more and more excited as she spoke. Ye Xinran felt a little embarrassed, standing at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Yufeng ran out of the house, saw Changan, waved him in, and whispered, "Grandma is angry again!"

"Are you afraid?" Chang'an asked with a blink.

"Don't be afraid, grandma just has a bad temper. She will forget it after scolding me."

As the two children were talking, Li also came out of the house.

Seeing Ye Xinran and Changan, she turned her head, then turned back and said to the head of the village in a bad mood: "Another debt collector is here at the door. I want to see what you have to pity others. Otherwise, you can just cut my neck and take it out of my stomach."

The village head felt guilty towards his wife, but he didn't say anything back. He just walked out of the house happily. When he saw it was Ye Xinran, he was stunned for a moment.

"Huaian wife, why are you here?"
