The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

The dead are dead.

Within a few days, Yu Baibai returned to her carefree self.

Qiao Mu also decided to take Yu Baibai back to his home in the mountains to live for a few days, and took Dahuang, Dahei and the mule with him.

Yu Yaozu and Yu Mo were left alone to guard the courtyard in the city.

The two of them rode a mule cart into the mountains and happened to come across a small market in the mountains.

The two looked at each other, received each other's signal, and started strolling in the small market.

The two of them were very conspicuous at the market driving their mule cart.

The things sold here are all food and other things that farmers have saved from their own homes.

You can buy it with copper coins or exchange it for something else.

Yu Baibai squatted beside a pile of mushrooms, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Qiao Mu:

"Mom, look at this mushroom..."

"Buy some." Qiao Mu was still a little scared, but he was really greedy, so it should be fine to cook more.

"How to sell these?"

The girl selling mushrooms was wearing thin clothes and shivered as she greeted Yu Baibai:

"These mushrooms...just give me 50 coins."

The little girl was a little unconfident when she spoke. She was afraid that if they turned around and left, she would not be able to sell her mushrooms today.

"Can we exchange it with cloth? Or if you need something, I can trade with you." Yu Baibai asked tentatively.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Sure! I can exchange it for cloth!"

These were all picked up, and she couldn't even imagine that they could be exchanged for cloth.

Yu Baibai entered the mule cart and took out a piece of cut floral cotton cloth: "This is it!"

This piece of cotton cloth was originally bought at the market and was intended to be used to make curtains, but at that time Qiumu made a lace curtain, so this piece of cloth was put at the bottom of the box.

It is big enough for an adult to make clothes.

After getting out of the mule cart, Yu Baibai handed over the cloth: "I'll use this one and won't trade it for anything."

The little girl wiped her hands on herself before taking it:

"That's too much... I have some dried mushrooms at home, I'll add more for you, just follow me!"

After that, the little girl ignored the two of them and covered the basket of mushrooms, put it on her back, turned around and called Yu Baibai:

"follow me!"

Qiao Mu drove the mule cart and caught up, waving at Yu and saying:

"Come on up, let's go and have a look. Maybe we can sell something else. It will be a good opportunity to add some variety to the shop."

"Okay." Yu Baibai quickly climbed onto the mule cart.

The two followed the little girl to her home, which was a small yard surrounded by a fence.

Through the fence you can see dried mushrooms and vegetables drying on straw mats in the yard.

"Mom and Dad! I'm back!" The little girl happily pushed open the fence door.

"Ahem... Daya is back, ahem... Come and have a drink of water, mom will cure your cold."

A muffled sound of a cold came from the thatched hut.

Daya put down the backpack and turned around to explain embarrassedly:

"My parents are paralyzed in bed and can't go out. Please don't despise me! The barefoot doctor in our village said this is not contagious!"

The little girl's face flushed with anxiety as she tried to explain.

"It's okay, take out the mushrooms and let us take a look." Qiao Mu shook his head.

The hemp rope is cut at the delicate point, and bad luck finds the poor.

Ugh.

"Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll get them all out!"

The little girl took out several cloth bags from the house, opened them and placed them on the straw mat:

"I picked these up in the mountains. They're all very clean. See if you need anything."

This was clearly Daya's home, but she was rubbing her hands nervously.

Yu Baibai smiled and handed over a handful of candy:

"Sister Daya, we want all these things from your house. Can we give you five taels plus that piece of cloth?"

When Daya saw that it was candy, she quickly refused:

"No, no! That's too much! I can't have this candy!"

Yu put on a stern face and said, "If you don't want it, then I don't want it either."

"Hey! No, no, no! Okay! Then take this piece of bacon." Daya went into the house and took out a piece of black meat, the size of a palm.

"Okay, put it on and keep the silver." Qiao Mu gave four pieces of silver and a hundred coins.

After loading the car, Yu Baibai secretly placed a small bag of corn kernels on the somewhat tattered small table.

Daya clenched the silver in her hand, sent the person away, and trotted into the house:

"Dad! Mom! We met some good people! They bought all the dry goods we had saved! Daya has enough money to buy you medicine!"

"Daya... cough cough... I'm sorry for your hardship..."

"It's Dad who's useless..."

Soon, low sobbing sounds were heard from the room...

……

After Qiao Mu and Yu Baibai left, they continued to stroll around the small market.

"Mom! Let's buy some small baskets! We can take them to the store to put small things in them." These baskets are very delicately woven and come in various shapes.

It is polished very smoothly and not prickly at all. Yu Baibai likes it very much.

"Buy it if you like it." If my daughter likes it, just buy it. I'm not short of money. I can't just give it to others without spending all the money like before, right?

I bought four bamboo baskets and some eggs and other things.

The two men returned home happily with a full load of goods.

On the way home, Qiao Mu and Yu Baibai started discussing what to eat in the evening:

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms! I haven't eaten it for a long time."

"Okay! It's just that mom's cooking skills are not as good as your dad's, so just make do with it! I'll ask your dad to make it when we get back to the shop."

"Okay! Mom, let's change cars! My butt is about to fall apart."

"Go a little further, it's too close."

"Oh……"

The fresh air in the mountains and forests makes people feel particularly relaxed.

After walking a little further and changing cars, we soon arrived at the small courtyard.

No one has taken care of it for a while, and a layer of leaves have fallen off.

The table was covered in dust, so the two rolled up their sleeves and started working.

Qiao Mu went to light a fire to heat the kang. The two of them were too lazy to heat two kangs, so they only burned the one in Yu Baibai's room.

It’s big enough for mother and daughter to sleep.

Yu Baibai fetched some water and started wiping the table and other things.

I also soaked some dried mushrooms because I have to eat them tonight! I can’t let them down!

Qiao Mu also sighed: "I am really foresighted. If the quilt and other things were not placed in the cabinet, they would definitely be covered with dust."

Yu Baibai was also very considerate and took over his father's position and agreed:

"Well, that's not great. If you hadn't asked me to make a cabinet, I wouldn't have anywhere to put the quilt!"

"right!"

Qiao Mu took off the quilt cover and put the quilt cover back on.

The two of them cleaned up for more than half an hour, and the yard looked brand new again.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

Yu Baibai rubbed his stomach and called out to his mother, "Mom! I'm hungry!"

"I'm going to cook! Go wash some fruit. I want to eat strawberries." Qiao Mu put down the broom in his hand. "Oh, and put the quilt cover and other things in the washing machine."

"okay!"

The mother and daughter had a clear division of labor, and there were lanterns in the yard, so it was not dark at all.

Dahei and Dahuang were chasing and playing in the yard, while the mule was eating and drinking in the den, looking very leisurely!

Qiumu washed and sliced the mushrooms and stewed them with the chicken.

It’s a very simple stir-fry, no high-tech involved, it all relies on the flavor of the ingredients themselves.
