Ming Qi was very excited after hearing this. He pulled Xiao Wan'er who was also excited and asked the cat to wait for his opponent.
He was just dragged away by Qiao Mingjin.
"The pheasants won't come if you stay here. Come and see us later." After hearing this, the two little things walked away, turning back and forth.
Seeing their distracted looks, Qiao Mingjin said, "We'll go and see him after some time. Mingqi, take Wan'er to find brother Xiaochun and send him breakfast. We'll go back and see if the pheasant was caught."
"
After hearing this, the aunt and nephew happily took the food and went to the woods to find someone.
The hills and forests in Yuejia Village may really have endless appeal.
For Qiao Mingjin, who has to go into the mountains almost every day, the original attraction may have been lost. But for He Xiaochun, who has little chance to go into the mountains, this is a rare experience.
The young man wandered around in the mountains for a long time. When Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er found him, he was still wandering around. He seemed to have forgotten the purpose of entering the mountains and had not decided on the wood to use.
I happily chased pheasants and rabbits all over the mountain with Xiao Wan'er and Ming Qi, and helped the two children climb the tree to pick black fungus. They had a great time.
It made both Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er feel like there was a different person.
After He Xiaochun finally picked a piece of wood, chopped it and dragged it back, he returned to the mountain again in less than two-quarters of an hour.
I don’t know if he was lucky or what, but he and Mingqi, Xiaowaner, and the other three caught a dozen pheasants and seven or eight mountain rabbits throughout the day! By the afternoon, the distiller’s yeast in the bamboo tube had not been used up yet!
The shy and dull He Xiaochun seemed to be a different person at this time, with his face flushed and his mouth grinning to the base of his ears. He led two children who were also screaming with excitement and chased the pheasant who was drunk from drinking koji.
I personally had a great time...
After Mingheng and Mingjue came back in the afternoon, He Xiaochun reluctantly went home and started planing wood.
Mingjue and Mingqi entered the mountain, and Qiao Mingjin obviously felt much more relaxed. Mingjue took over the job of chopping thick firewood, and she cut off smaller dead branches on the tree.
"Mingjue, have you gone to the bookstore?" Qiao Mingjin asked Mingjue while pulling firewood.
"I went and got three scriptures and two miscellaneous books from my father. The bookstore also gave me pen, ink and paper. But I didn't give him more than thirty pennies at a time. He said he would get five books first and then finish them.
Go get it."
Mingjue replied to Qiao Mingjin while chopping firewood.
"Very good. These five books are enough for dad to copy for a few days. Have you told dad when to pick them up?"
"Dad asked me to pick it up when I go to deliver firewood next time. He said that these five books are not thick, and he can finish them in two days."
"Did the shopkeeper tell me how much I would pay for a copy?"
"I told you. These books are not thick, so I will give you twenty texts each. If the copying is good, the paper is neat, and the handwriting is good, I will add a few more texts as appropriate. If I finish copying these five books
I can get a hundred coins! Grandma also said that it is much better than dad going to the market to write letters for others, and he can also take care of it at home."
After a pause, he continued: "I got sixty taels from selling firewood today, and a total of four taels from selling pheasants and vegetables. I paid 30 taels in gold and got the rest back."
"Okay." Qiao Mingjin responded after hearing this.
Now she can help her father get some work. Although the money is not much, it saves her father from always feeling that he has nothing to do. This can help the family to some extent, and can also save some money to buy some oil, salt and so on...
With the addition of Mingjue, the efficiency is not a little higher.
When the sunset filled the sky, everyone looked at the piles of firewood and smiled knowingly.
These firewood branches are enough to load three carts, and can be sold three times. If I cut more firewood tomorrow, the firewood shed will be full, and I can have a good rest for a few days.
A few people loaded the firewood into the cart, and then Mingjue and Mingheng took the cart home to unload the firewood. Then they emptied the oxcart and came back to load it again. Qiao Mingjin took Mingqi and the others to take some time to pick up some more fine firewood.
And rake up some pine hair for home fire.
I did this three times.
On the last trip, the siblings pulled the ox cart and headed home carrying the pheasants and mountain rabbits they had caught today.
The whole family was in a good mood as the sunset filled the sky. Mingqi and Xiao Wan'er sat on the back of their cow, shaking their heads and wagging their feet excitedly. Even their own cow mooed happily.
With the addition of Mingjue, Qiao Mingjin felt that she was obviously more relaxed.
In addition, He Xiaochun also regarded him as someone who couldn't have a job. When he saw any work at home, he rushed to do it. Qiao Mingjin suddenly felt a lot lighter on his shoulders.
Today, the two children and He Xiaochun were chasing a rabbit. The rabbit fell into a trap and was seriously injured. Qiao Mingjin killed it for dinner and stewed a pot full of it. It was also a welcome to the family to welcome He Xiaochun to join.
Even the shy He Xiaochun had his mouth watering after eating...
The family had a lively dinner.
It was not dark yet, the water tank was full, the vegetables had been watered, the courtyard had been swept, and Mingqi's clothes had been washed in the morning, so Qiao Mingjin felt like she had nothing to do.
Mingheng had just finished dinner when someone called him to take a bath at the well.
Mingheng has been in Yuejia Village for a while, and has become very familiar with the children of the same age in the village. As soon as the sun sets in the evening, the children in the village will come together to invite him to take a bath with him at the well.
Today, Sister Xiu's son Changhe and several children from the village came to call him. Mingheng responded in the yard, grabbed his clothes and ran away.
It's getting hotter today. Except for Wan'er, Qiao Mingjin and Ming Qi all use cold water to bathe.
But when Sister Xiu came to ask her to take a bath at the well, she still didn't go. She was not a very open-minded person in her past life. Even if she was of the same sex, she would be embarrassed. Qiao Mingjin thought that she should wait until she has money to get one at home.
The bathroom is ready.
After Mingheng left, Mingjue also took He Xiaochun with him to take a bath at the well.
In Xiahe Village, most men and women choose to bathe at the well. If there are many people in the family, fetching water is also a laborious task.
Qiao Mingjin and Mingqi took Wan'er to take a bath. It was not dark yet and it was early to go to bed, so they took the two children to rub the straw rope in the courtyard.
After Mingjue and the others came back, Mingjue and Mingheng also came to help rub the straw ropes, while He Xiaochun went to sort out the wood...
