When she came back from haying in the afternoon, she met Wang Huacheng standing by the wall. When she came out after feeding the chickens and rabbits, she found that she was still standing.

Mao Mingzhu said, "Huang Yue gave birth to a son, and Wang Huacheng stood in front of the house all afternoon."

"What?"

Mao Mingzhu snorted, "I want someone to ask Huang Yue whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl."

Mao Xiaosui said he didn't understand, "It's not the first time he has a son."

"Who knows if Wang Dong is his son?" Mao Mingzhu said and returned to the house.

_

Su County is far away, and it will be seven days before Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui return.

He was in a mess, his beard was unkempt, and he smelled bad. Apart from being sloppy, he didn't look hungry, and the tiredness on his face wasn't very deep.

She asked, "Where are you staying these days?"

Li Yunshan replied, "The woodshed of the inn also has beds, which is cheaper than the guest room."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and said, "I'll boil water for you and wash yourself first."

She was originally going to cut grass, but now she couldn't care less and quickly boiled water for them to cook.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang really missed Li Yunshan, and they were unwilling to get off.

Mao Xiaosui felt tired when she saw Li Yunshan holding one in each hand, but she always felt that Li Yunshan also wanted to have two babies and was very happy when holding them, so she did not let the two babies get down.

After she boiled the water, she went to get clothes for them.

Zhao Hui didn't bring any clothes when she came, and she couldn't wear anything in winter, so she gave Li Yunshan's clothes to make do with.

After they started washing up in the side room, Mao Xiaosui went to dig out some noodles.

Fry a plate of mushrooms in the pot next to it, go to the backyard to pick a handful of green vegetables, then roll out the millet flour and cut it.

When the water is boiling, put the vegetables and noodles in and cook.

The two familiar faces also packed up.

Li Yunshan sat at the dining table and took out a hairband of the same color as Mao Xiaosui. There was also a bell hanging on the hairband, which always sounded when he shook it.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and asked, "Didn't you buy it for Ankang? The boys also have to tie their hair."

"I bought it," Li Yunshan said, "I bought something to play with."

"Just buy it." Mao Xiaosui didn't care what he bought, and said to Li Ruyi, who kept ringing the bell, "I'll give you new clothes later."

Li Ruyi has been thinking about it since the weather became warm. She didn't wear it because she was afraid of getting it dirty when she went to cut grass.

Zhao Hui looked like he was about to fall asleep, and Mao Xiaosui said, "Go to bed after eating."

Zhao Hui smiled and cheered up and talked about what happened in Su County. "Unfortunately, we went there just in time for the newly opened restaurant. At that time, the restaurant also invited a lion dance, which was very lively..."

Li Yunshan also nodded, "Su County is really lively and sells a lot of strange and weird things. I will take you and your children to go shopping when I have the opportunity."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui agreed happily.

After they finished eating, they went to bed. Li Ruyi clamored to wear new clothes. Mao Xiaosui helped them put them on and tied the hairband before going to grass.

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang did not clamor to follow. They played with Li Ankang's nine-ring chain on the floor of the house and guarded Li Yunshan every step of the way.

Mao Xiaosui was also happy that Li Yunshan was back, and he hurried back after finishing haying.

Li Yunshan was still sleeping, and Mao Xiaosui had to go to the mountain to dig for fungi again.

Mao Mingzhu and others were also there and asked her, "Have you finished haying today?"

"The fight is over."

Mao Xiaosui heard her muttering, "It's good to have more things at home..."

She arrived late. After digging for a while, it became dark in the forest. Li Yunshan was still sleeping at home. She first went to feed the two pens in the backyard, then took a knife to kill two rabbits and distributed the internal organs to the others. Four dogs.

Heizi likes to catch mountain rats when the weather gets warm. He doesn't like the internal organs very much, and Mao Xiaosui doesn't intend to save them.

After feeding the four dogs, he took the meat back to the kitchen to cook.

The mushrooms were fried, the rabbit meat was stewed, and while they were frying beans and making stewed rice, Li Yunshan came out with the two babies in his arms.

Mao Xiaosui said, "I've fed the ones in the backyard."

Li Yunshan said "Yeah" and said, "The rabbit skin was sold for 140 copper coins. The man also ordered 2,000 pieces. He said he would need them in mid-June, and he would probably ask for them again later."

"So many?" Mao Xiaosui was shocked. "There are only two months left. If we kill every day, plus we still have to deal with it, we can't finish it..."

"I agreed, if this business is done..."

Mao Xiaosui did the math and realized, oh my god, it’s a few hundred taels.

It was enough for them to buy as much land as they wanted, but on second thought they felt there was something wrong with this idea.

You already have so much money, why should you farm and enjoy the blessings directly?

"You made a lot of money this time, right?" she asked softly.

"More than sixty taels." Li Yunshan estimated, "Including the previous ones, the family has nearly a hundred taels."

Mao Xiaosui was happy and glanced at him, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Earn money, buy land, and send Ankang to school." Li Yunshan has a clear goal.

Mao Xiaosui thought it was funny that he wanted to buy land no matter what, but he also thought it was good. Food was the most important thing for the people.

After thinking about it, she said, "Let's keep Zhao Hui to help first and pay him a salary. I still think he is quite reliable."

Then he said, "Let's just open a store."

"What store?"

"Rabbit skin export store."

Li Yunshan looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"We are wholesalers of rabbit skins. We just need to negotiate the price with the buyers and let them come to pick up the goods."

“This way the price will be much lower, but it also saves us the trouble of delivering goods and finding customers all the time.”

Li Yunshan frowned and thought about it carefully, and felt that this method was very good. "You continue."

"As a result, the scale of our rabbit raising has to change. First of all, there are not enough rabbits, and secondly... we don't have enough manpower."

"People in the village are not reliable. We have to find reliable people to feed the rabbits, manage the store, and the export sales staff who are looking for customers to negotiate prices..."

"There are quite a lot of things." Mao Xiaosui could only think of so much for the time being.

"The little money we have is not enough. If this business can be successful, maybe we can consider the method I mentioned to open a store."

Li Yunshan took a deep breath, "Save money first, and then we'll see what happens."

He reached out and patted Li Ruyi's butt, "Go and call your cousin for dinner."

Li Ruyi ran away, banged the door hard and shouted, "My cousin is having dinner..."

Zhao Hui called back from inside the room, and soon came out with red eyes, looking like he was still asleep.

Li Yunshan moved the table to the yard, and Mao Xiaosui asked the two children to carry out the chopsticks and vegetables.

While eating, Li Yunshan asked him, "What are you going to do next?"

"Nothing to do." Zhao Hui asked proactively, "Have you obtained two thousand rabbit skins?"

"I was just going to tell you, if you have nothing to do, just stay and help."

"Okay." Zhao Hui said, "It saves me the trouble of eating." He began to feel embarrassed as he said it.

Mao Xiaosui laughed when he saw it, and thought about giving him Li Yunshan's old clothes so that he could wear them again.

Looked at his shoes again.

Li Yunshan must have bought it for him, it looks new.

Mao Xiaosui asked directly, "Is this the only pair of shoes you have?"

Li Yunshan glanced at Zhao Hui and said, "I bought two pairs of shoes, but there is no change of clothes."

She nodded and said, "When you have a little time, I will sew and tidy up the cotton-padded coat you wore. It's a bit thin."

"It's too troublesome." Zhao Hui said embarrassedly.

"No trouble." Mao Xiaosui shook his head.

Originally, she also planned to tidy up Li Yunshan's affairs.

When the time comes, take out the old cotton and wash it, stuff it with more and sew a thicker one, and sew thin cotton clothes directly with chicken feathers. Take apart the old clothes with patched scars and make shoes...
