The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin was excited for a moment and hugged Li Guoer into his arms.

Holding his sweetheart in his arms, Ye Xilin was both excited and nervous, and didn't know how to release his hands.

As for Li Guoer, she was even more nervous than him. She held the hem of her skirt with both hands and was as stiff as a wooden man.

Seeing Li Guoer standing upright as if forced to stand, Ye Xilin became less nervous and gently patted her back with his big hand to comfort the person in his arms.

Slowly, Li Guoer relaxed, and Ye Xilin became even bolder.

The big hand that was originally placed on his back quietly slid to Li Guoer's waist and hugged her.

Upon noticing Ye Xilin's movements, Li Guoer's ears and neck turned red, and she felt her heart beating extremely fast.

Her little hands nervously held Ye Xilin's arm, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him.

Ye Xilin appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was very panicked inside.

The women he had the most contact with were his sister and his mother. This was the first time he had been so close to a woman, and he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

The two of them stood on the edge of a hillside where they often met. The trees and grass around them were occasionally blown by the wind, making small sounds.

All the surrounding sounds seemed to be amplified.

The sound of the wind in my ears, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, the crowing of pheasants in the distance, the barking of dogs in the village, and the pounding of Ye Xilin's own heartbeat were all very clear.

Although few people from the village come to this hillside, the people of the Li family know this place.

Ye Xilin felt a little guilty, especially afraid of Li Orion or Li He suddenly appearing.

The two of them were hugging each other. If someone from the Li family found out, they would probably be beaten severely.

Ye Xilin laughed stupidly. He was willing to hug his sweetheart even if he was beaten.

After hugging him for a while, Ye Xilin quickly let go.

After all, the two are not married yet. If others see it, it will be bad for Guoer's reputation.

After letting go of Li Guoer, Ye Xilin pulled her and sat down on a big rock.

The two sat very close, with each other's arms tightly touching each other's arms. Ye Xilin's big hand had firmly grasped the soft little hand in his hand.

Li Guoer's facial features have grown a bit in the past two years, and her round, chubby face has turned into her current oval face.

At this time, her face was flushed, her eyes were smiling, and she looked even brighter and more beautiful.

Ye Xilin beside him was stunned for a moment.

No one spoke, and there was a sweet and slightly awkward atmosphere all around.

Li Guoer felt shy and a little proud when she saw Ye Xilin looking at her, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

Ye Xilin saw in Li Guoer's eyes that he was smiling like he was worthless.

He quickly restrained himself, looked at Li Guoer pretending to be serious, and then began to settle accounts sourly:

"I've been here for the fourth time this month, and I just met him today. We haven't seen each other for a month. Do you miss me?"

Li Guoer: "..."

During this period, Li Guoer was busy making money every day, but actually she really didn't think much about Ye Xilin. But at this time, no matter how nervous she was, she couldn't tell the truth.

"Think about it." Li Guoer nodded with a guilty look on his face.

Seeing Li Guoer hesitating, Ye Xilin squeezed the soft little hand in his hand and looked at her aggrievedly with his big eyes.

"Guo'er, you hesitated."

Li Guoer was stupid and was thinking about how to coax people, when Ye Xilin asked again:

"How are you doing with the shoes and purse you promised to make for me?"

Li Guoer was busy hunting in the mountains and completely forgot about this matter, which made her feel even more guilty.

"...It's coming soon. When it's time to deliver the rabbit in a few days, I'll deliver it to you personally."

Shoes and purses are relatively easy to make, and there is no need to embroider them. She should be able to make them after three or four days of hard work.

"Okay, then I'll just wait for Guo'er's purse and shoes."

Ye Xilin also knew that autumn was a good time for hunting. The Li family was originally a hunter, so it was normal to go hunting in the mountains.

When I talked about settling accounts just now, I just wanted to take the opportunity to ask Li Guoer to pay more attention to him.

"I'm not in a hurry, just do it slowly and be careful not to poke your hand again."

Seeing that he was no longer angry, Li Guoer became angry and took back Ye Xilin's hand.

"Humph, you just talk nicely, but if you really feel sorry for me, why would you let me make purses and shoes for you?"

Ye Xilin immediately broke the story and said, "Guo'er, you won't forget, right? You obviously took the initiative to mention the purse and shoes."

Li Guoer: "..."

"What are you doing at home during this period?" Not knowing how to answer, Li Guoer quickly changed the subject.

Ye Xilin smiled and followed Li Guoer's words and talked about what he had been busy with during this time.

"My family has 43 acres of paddy fields, about ten acres of dry land, and two hills. In addition to feeding pigs during the autumn harvest, I also have to help the family."

"After the autumn harvest, I was busy killing pigs to make bacon. Just a few days ago, I shipped all the bacon, rabbit skins and rabbits accumulated in the second half of the year to the dock to sell them."

Li Guoer felt very sorry for him when she saw that he was so busy and often came to Dashan Village, and failed several times.

"There are quite a lot of things. No wonder I see that you seem to have lost some weight. I shot a wild goat yesterday and I still have some mutton at home. You can take some back later to replenish your body."

"It's really awesome!"

"That's right, I am the second most powerful hunter in our village." Li Guoer said with a proud smile.

She has not been idle during this time, and has brought back a lot of good things from the mountains.

Li Guoer suddenly felt relieved when she thought about her small treasury.

Ye Xilin looked at the birds flying in the distance and thought of hunting wild geese to sell, so he quickly suggested to Li Guoer:

"By the way, doesn't Uncle Li know how to catch wild geese? You can catch some wild geese and sell them."

Li Guoer also knew that wild geese were quite expensive, but not many people bought them.

"Occasionally, people ask my dad to help hunt wild geese, but the price of wild geese is high and few people in the county seem to buy it."

Ye Xilin asked again:

"Do you know Xiaohe Town? Xiaohe Town is close to the official road. There are many merchants from other places there. There are often people selling wild geese there, and the sales are pretty good."

"I sold wild geese there once at the beginning of the year, and the business was quite good. I got five taels of silver per pair."

Li Guoer exclaimed: "Five taels of silver per pair?"

Li Guoer's eyes lit up when she heard that the wild geese were sold so expensively.

If she had known that wild geese were so valuable, why would she have hunted? Catching ten or eight pairs of wild geese would be as good as a sika deer or wild ginseng.

There is a small lake not far from the village, and geese fly there every year after autumn.

Compared with hunting wild boars and sika deer, catching wild geese is relatively easy.

"Where is Xiaohe Town? Tell me quickly." Li Guoer pulled Ye Xilin's sleeve excitedly.

"Xiaohe Town is quite far away from us. It takes two and a half hours by donkey cart. The roads are so winding and winding that I can't explain them."

"Guo'er, you can keep the geese first. I'll hunt a few pairs of geese when I go back. Then we'll go to Xiaohe Town together."

Ye Xilin also had his own little idea and wanted to take her around Xiaohe Town.

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad and the others tonight. I won't go hunting in the mountains anymore and will go directly to catch wild geese."

Seeing Li Guoer's interest, Ye Xilin said with a smile:

"There is a small shop there that makes very delicious fish. I will take you to try it when the time comes. There are many strange and weird things from other places there, which are quite fun."

"It makes me excited. When the time comes, our two families will go to Xiaohe Town to sell wild geese. I haven't been there yet, so you can take me around."

"Okay, let's just say that." Ye Xilin was looking forward to it.

Xiaohe Town was too far away, and Ye Xilin didn't plan to go alone with Li Guoer. It would be great to go there together.
