The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.

"This is ginger. It can be used as a seasoning when cooking." Li Youran carefully looked at the light yellow rhizome in his hand.

"Are there more? Dig some more. You can take these to the market and sell them for money." Li Youran's eyes immediately lit up at the thought of making money.

"There are a lot of them, not only here, but also everywhere in the mountains. However, no one digs them because everyone knows that they taste spicy and irritate the mouth." Li Kangze explained while recalling his experience of trying to dig up these gingers and take them home to eat.

No matter how he stewed them, the spicy taste could not be eliminated, so he had no choice but to throw them all away.

Who would have thought that these were just condiments used to flavor dishes.

"Then let's quickly dig more and take it home!" Li Youran couldn't wait to stuff ginger into her small and exquisite bamboo basket until the basket was full.

Seeing his sister so cute and funny, Li Kangze couldn't help laughing.

The petite girl was almost suffocating under the weight of the basket of golden lumps. She was swaying from side to side as she walked, and the two pigtails on her head were swaying with her body.

"Sister, let me help you carry it! You are too small and can't lift such a heavy thing." Li Kangze felt a little sorry when he saw his sister struggling.

"No, I have to try it myself! After all, this is the only way to get real exercise. And I always feel like I've gained a lot of weight recently!"

Li Youran quietly slipped into the space when no one was paying attention, took out a scale and measured his weight, only to find that he had gained three kilograms!

She was originally petite, and if she continued to gain weight, she would probably have trouble even walking, not to mention high-intensity exercise like mountain climbing.

No matter what, I have to rely on my own strength to walk down the mountain step by step - maybe it's because the meals at home have been too rich and delicious recently.

Because of their slow pace, it was almost dusk when they finally arrived at their doorstep.

As soon as Li Youran and Li Kangze returned home, they ran to the well to fetch water for washing and bathing.

The biggest advantage of this house is that it has a well, which I heard was dug when the family split up.

......

Father Li took Li Heming to the village chief's house to discuss the purchase of land.

Fortunately, the village chief was very reasonable and only required two taels of silver per acre of land. Of course, if you wanted to buy better quality land, you would have to spend three taels of silver. The price of inferior land with slightly lower quality was relatively cheap, and you could get one tael of silver per acre.

After careful consideration, Li's father finally decided to buy ten acres of land, spending a total of twenty taels of silver.

"I will personally take the title deed of these ten acres of land to the town and ask the relevant government officials to help with the transfer procedures and stamp it with the official seal. I will set off tomorrow morning." Village Chief Li said after collecting the silver.

After all, these lands belong to the state, and all the money received must be turned over in full.

"Okay, I'll come get it tomorrow morning! By the way, village chief, is there anyone with good craftsmanship, affordable and reliable skills who can help build a house? It would be best if you could also help me build a sheepfold, because the sheep will be delivered in two days."

Father Li scratched his head and said in confusion that he was unfamiliar with the village and didn't know who to ask to do the work.

"Hmm... let me think about it." Village Chief Li put his hands behind his back and paced in the yard. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "There is a pair of brothers in the village who specialize in building houses for others. Their names are Li Niu and Li Zhuang. They are very efficient and reliable at work, and the wages are not expensive, only twenty-five cents a day."

"Oh? That's great!" Father Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked, "How is their technology? Is the quality of the house they build reliable?"

"Hey, don't worry! These two brothers are famous craftsmen in our village. Many people's houses were built by them!" Village Chief Li patted his chest and guaranteed.

"That's good. I will go find Li Niu and Li Zhuang tomorrow! Thank you, village chief! I'll go back first!" Father Li bowed gratefully, said goodbye to the village chief, and turned to leave.

The two of them walked and chatted about family matters, and before they knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.

When he walked out of the door of Village Chief Li's house, Li Heming suddenly remembered something and said to his father excitedly: "Dad, I know Uncle Li Zhuang's son. I'm very close to him and we often play together. How about this, why don't I just go and talk to Uncle Li Zhuang!"

Father Li suddenly seemed to recall the friends his children had mentioned, and it seemed that there was indeed a boy among them who was the treasure of Li Zhuang's family.

Speaking of Li Zhuang, he is always busy with work and has little time and energy to teach and discipline his children. Therefore, he can only entrust the burden of raising and educating his children to his elderly mother at home.

"Then let's go together tomorrow to find out the situation!" Before he finished speaking, Father Li raised his legs and walked straight towards home. Seeing this, Li Heming hurriedly followed him.
