I didn't expect that the pheasants would sell so well and were sold out in just over an hour.

After selling things, Zhao Guizhi had some free time to buy some flour, grain and oil.

There was nothing else to buy, as Yan Zhenshen had already prepared it long ago.

After buying the things, Yan Zhenshen took them to the ox cart. Zhao Guizhi let him go first, saying that she wanted to go to the jewelry shop to have a look, and Chu Xiao followed him.

Here it is customary for the mother's family to give a longevity lock to the newborn baby. It doesn't matter whether it is big or small, hollow or solid, it is just a token of the mother's thoughts, representing the mother's family's attention to the child.

However, Chu Xiao no longer has her mother's family, but her eldest grandson should not have anything less than others, so she decided to pay for the marriage herself.

Chu Xiao didn't understand so much and just thought it was the grandmother's love for her eldest grandson.

There are ready-made longevity locks, and they look pretty good, but most of them are hollow. They look large, but actually don’t have much material, and they can easily deform if bumped.

She asked the shopkeeper to bring her a picture album to choose a style, but she didn't plan to get one that was too big, as it would be too heavy for the child to hang around his neck.

Zhao Guizhi called Chu Xiao over to choose the styles. In his opinion, they were all pretty much the same.

"It's up to you, mother."

The shopkeeper also said: "This is a gift for my little grandson as a token of my heart, so naturally all of them are good."

Zhao Guizhi corrected the shopkeeper's words and chose the one she thought was the best. Then she turned around and saw that Chu Xiao had already picked out several silver bracelets.

There are ones for babies and ones for adults, and I want to buy one for everyone in my family.

"This bracelet is still new, why do we need to buy another one?" Zhao Guizhi stopped Chu Xiao from spending lavishly.

But you can't go out empty-handed after visiting a jewelry store, so Chu Xiao blinked his eyes and said, "The bracelet I bought for mother last time was too plain. This one looks good, and this one is especially suitable for my third sister. My third sister is not young anymore, so we have to prepare the betrothal gifts in advance."

Zhao Guizhi corrected: "That's the dowry."

Chu Xiao shrugged, "Then we have to prepare the dowry. Let's buy a bracelet first. When she gets married, I will make her a pair of gold bracelets."

Zhao Guizhi knew that if Chu Xiao wanted to buy one, she couldn't stop him, so she just let him buy one.

Chu Xiao just pursed his lips and smiled faintly, then picked out four bracelets that he had long liked.

As an older brother, I can't always be partial. Even if Qiao Qingyun can't bring it, I have to buy it for him.

Finally, he looked at the small bracelets that babies wear. He didn't plan to buy it now because who knows what the baby will be like. But no matter what it is, children who are too young are not suitable to wear jewelry.

Zhao Guizhi watched Chu Xiao spend nearly ten taels of silver without blinking an eye. Although it was all spent on his family, she still felt a little distressed.

It's not easy for farmers to earn money, so she couldn't help but say a few words: "You are going to be a father, so you can't be so extravagant in the future."

Chu Xiao's eyes curved slightly, and she put the bracelet she chose on Zhao Guizhi: "It looks good."

Zhao Guizhi looked at the bracelet on her hand and naturally liked it. She sighed, "You."

Chu Xiao wanted to pay the money, but Zhao Guizhi said that she had to buy the longevity lock, so there was no need for Chu Xiao to argue about it. Even if Zhao Guizhi said that she would pay for it all, Chu Xiao would not object. At most, she could give more household expenses later.

After leaving the jewelry store, Zhao Guizhi looked up at Chu Xiao and asked with some concern: "The eldest brother hasn't been to the mountain much recently. Do you still have silver? If not, mother still has a few dozen taels."

She couldn't tell this to the eldest daughter, because the child only reported good news and not bad news. Even if he had no money, he would only find a way out on his own and would definitely not accept their money.

Even though this silver was originally given by him.

"Yes." Chu Xiao took Zhao Guizhi's arm and said, "I went to Doctor Hu some time ago and got more than fifty taels of dividends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to buy the bracelet."

Zhao Guizhi was surprised again: "So many?"

Chu Xiao didn't think it was a lot. The ten gold nuggets in his space would be worth at least a thousand taels of silver if converted into silver. However, he planned to use the money to buy food after the autumn harvest, so there was no need to tell others about it.

After dinner, the weather was not so hot. Chu Xiao sat on the recliner and dried his wet hair, while Yan Zhenshen was cleaning the bathtub.

After finishing, he came out, took out the purse and poured it on the table next to him.

It was all the money from selling pheasants today, and Zhao Guizhi had given it to Yan Zhenshen a long time ago.

Ever since the family bought the land and built the house, Zhao Guizhi seldom collected money from them. She also said that after the harvest, the family would have enough grain left over, and would sell the rest to them, half of it, and keep the other half for household use.

Yan Zhenshen didn't say anything, but most of the time when he earned too much copper from selling wild animals, he would let Zhao Guizhi keep it.

Zhao Guizhi would not refuse such a thing. They were all family, and if they kept pushing and giving in, the relationship would only become more and more estranged.

Chu Xiao was quite interested in counting copper coins. He always felt that holding these strings of copper coins in his hand gave him more satisfaction than holding silver.

He seemed to have an inexplicable habit of stuffing dozens of copper coins into his brother Shen's pocket whenever he had nothing to do.

Fourteen pheasants were sold for more than one or two taels of silver, but with a piece of change, the copper coins were only worth more than five hundred yuan.

Chu Xiao put all the copper coins into the wooden box in his space, and stuffed the small change back into his pocket. This could be considered as pocket money for his brother Shen.

Giving pocket money to my man really makes me feel like the head of the family.

In fact, this was just Chu Xiao's personal thought. Yan Zhenshen usually went to the county town to buy things, and he would buy them when he sold game. If he bought anything in the village, Zhao Guizhi would give him copper coins, so he really didn't need any pocket money.

Just as they finished counting, they heard Zhao Guizhi shouting that the ewe was about to give birth.

"Let's go and take a look." Chu Xiao stood up and wanted to go to the backyard, but was seen by Zhao Guizhi who went to the woodshed to get hay.

They told him to stay in the yard quietly, saying that they were afraid of offending the fetal god.

Yan Zhenshen asked his third sister to come and keep him company, and then he walked to the backyard.

At this time, Yan Zhennan had already cleaned the sheep shed again and spread hay for the ewes to lie on. As for the rest, they could only wait.

But we didn't have to wait too long, and a lamb wrapped in transparent mucous membrane landed on the ground.

Yan Zhenshen went to see Qiao Qingyun: "What should we do next?"

“How about picking it up and wiping it?” Qiao Qingyun had only seen it once when he was a child, and he hadn’t gotten close to take a look, so he was a little unsure for a moment.

However, Zhao Guizhi was very decisive. She found a clean cloth to wipe the mucous membrane on the lamb's body, and then put it back to the ewe.

The ewe stuck out her tongue and licked it, almost licking the lamb again.

Zhao Guizhi: “…” It’s a waste of effort.

Qiao Qingyun: “…” What a waste of time.

Yan Zhenshen nodded with satisfaction and said that the creatures running on the mountain could definitely reproduce on their own.

After feeding the sheep with clean water and fodder, Yan Zhennan took a few bamboo mats and hung them on the sheep shed to prevent them from being blown away by the wind at night.

After all, this person shouldn't be exposed to the wind during confinement, and the same should be true for sheep.
