The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"Xi'er, you did the right thing. The weather is getting cold, and the food can be stored. Dad will buy more food to store it later!"

Lin Dayong looked at the map carefully and said to Lin Xi approvingly!

"Dad, we don't need to buy food for the time being. Yesterday, I saved that noble man's life and asked him for 50,000 kilograms of food as a reward! It should be delivered in a few days!" Lin Xi said happily.

"Fifty thousand jin?" Lin Dayong was dumbfounded!

"Yes, I saved his life again. It's not too much to ask for this little bit of food!" Lin Xi said as a matter of course.

"By the way, Dad, the price of grain has gone up. I heard that the price of the next batch of grain will go up even more. Do you think I should remind the folks?" Lin Xi said after thinking for a while.

"It's definitely worth reminding! After hearing this news, the villagers can pay taxes directly with silver and keep the grain. Those who have extra money can buy some grain and store it! I'll go tell the village chief right away!"

After Lin Dayong finished speaking, he turned around and strode towards the village chief's house!

Looking at his enthusiastic and kind-hearted father, Lin Xi chuckled and called to Lin An, "Little An! Come here, let's clean up the empty room and prepare to store the food in a few days!"

"Come here, sister!" Lin An had just helped his mother put the quilt away when he heard his sister calling him. He hurried over and brought a broom with him.

The brother and sister worked enthusiastically, and half an hour later, the two rooms were cleaned thoroughly!

"Sister Lin Xi, are you home?"

Lin Xi and her brother were sitting in the yard drinking water and resting when they heard Chen Yan's voice from the door.

"I'm here, Chen Yan, come in!" Lin Xi shouted loudly towards the gate of the yard.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan came in holding a small bag.

"Brother Chen Yan! Please sit down!" Lin An moved his short legs and nimbly moved a stool to Chen Yan.

Seeing this, Chen Yan took the stool, patted his head and praised: "Thank you, Xiao An'er, Xiao An'er has grown taller!"

Lin An immediately smiled!

Chen Yan sat down in front of Lin Xi, opened the bundle, and revealed a pair of small leather boots with exquisite workmanship. He said, "Sister Lin Xi, these are the deerskin boots my mother made for you. I brought them to you to try and see if the size is right."

"Oh, they are so beautiful! I was just thinking of buying a pair of leather boots, but unfortunately I couldn't find the right ones in the county town today!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he took the boots with shining eyes, kicked off his shoes, and put the small leather boots on his feet without hesitation.

"Oh my! It's just right! Aunt Liu's cooking skills are really good!"

Lin Xi put on his little leather boots, walked quickly around the yard, jumped a little, and said happily.

"Hehe! As long as it fits!" Chen Yan's usually stern face showed a happy smile.

"Chen Yan, thank Aunt Liu for me when you go back! By the way, tell Aunt Liu that food prices have increased, and it is best to pay taxes in silver!" Lin Xi instructed Chen Yan.

"I understand, Sister Lin Xi, I'll go back first!" After Chen Yan said this, he hurried home!

"Sister, Brother Chen Yan's family is in such a difficult situation, why are you still accepting his things?" After Chen Yan left, Lin An asked Lin Xi in confusion.

Lin Xi touched Lin An's little head and said softly, "An'er, sometimes accepting gifts from others is a kind gesture, especially for those who have been helped a lot by you. You should give them the opportunity to repay you! Let them interact with you as an equal!"

"Oh, it's the same reason as accepting the gifts from Uncle Fugui last time, right? This way they will feel more at ease! They will be more willing to interact with us, otherwise they will be embarrassed to approach us!" Xiao An'er said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, Xiao An is really smart!" Lin Xi gave his brother a thumbs up!

"Of course, don't you see whose brother I am!" Lin An said proudly with his chest puffed out and his head raised.

"Lin Xi, Xiao An'er, I'm here to bring you food!" Just then, Daya's crisp voice came from the door.

Lin An quickly jumped off the chair and ran to the door to greet Daya enthusiastically.

"Sister Daya, what delicious food did you send to me and my sister? I'm craving for it!"

Hearing this, Daya smiled and handed over the small basket in her hand, saying, "Chen Qing caught some small fish, and I made them into dried fish. Do you like them?"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Xi and Lin An expectantly.

"It's delicious, crispy, fragrant, and a little sweet!" Lin An took the lead in picking up a small fish and throwing it into his mouth, praising it while chewing.

"Sister Daya, your cooking skills are really not exaggerated. It's so delicious. This is the most delicious dried fish I have ever eaten!" Lin Xi squinted his eyes, chewed the dried fish, and said with enjoyment on his face.

Seeing that they both liked it, Daya smiled brightly and said with curved eyes: "Then I will make it later and send it to you!"

Lin Xi's siblings happily agreed and told her about the increase in food prices. Daya then said goodbye and said she would go back to tell her parents the news and then go to collect grass for the pigs!

After Daya's back disappeared, Lin An approached his sister and said, "Sister, Daya was so happy to see that we liked the dried fish she gave us! From now on, when they give me something, I will praise them for their good work! This will make them even happier!"

"Xiao An'er, sincerity is the most important thing in human interaction. When folks give us things, we like them if we like them, and we don't like them if we don't like them. There is no need to deliberately curry favor with them in order to make them happy! We can just do things according to our heart!"

Lin Xi taught his younger brother earnestly.

"I understand, sister!" Lin An nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Lin Xi in confusion and asked, "Sister, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, why do you like to share meat with the children in the village, and why do you bring everyone to pick Schisandra chinensis together? Can't we earn more money if we pick it ourselves?"

"Because our fellow villagers are kind, simple, grateful and contented, I feel sorry for those little kids and am willing to improve their meals. I am also willing to earn some money with the fellow villagers! If they were ungrateful and greedy, I would treat them differently." Lin Xi said slowly, touching her brother's head.

After a pause, she continued, "An'er, if the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact! If the villagers in the whole village are too poor to survive, it is impossible for us to be immune and live a life of plenty and worry-free!"

"Similarly, if our country is in chaos and the people are living in poverty, then our village will not be safe and sound, and none of us will be able to live in peace! If we are poor, we should take care of ourselves, and if we are rich, we should help the world!"

"So, sister, what kind of life do you like to live?"

"As for me! I just hope that the world will be peaceful and prosperous! I can stay in this small world, watch over you and my parents and live a simple life, go hunting and fishing in the mountains, have a barbecue with the kids in the village, and be a free and easy little hunting girl!"

......

Cao in the house, Lin Dayong outside the door, and An Er on the treetop outside the yard, quietly listened to the conversation between the siblings in the yard...

Xiaohong, who was lying on a pile of hay, rolled her eyes: Master, you were not born to be an ordinary person. If you want to be an ordinary little hunting girl, you’d better go to bed early!
