Zhuzhu was a little restless. After dinner, she pestered her grandfather to go into the mountains.Chen Ruiyang and Tai Yongyue also begged, extremely excited.

These days, when the master carpenter has nothing to do, he makes some slingshots and hard wooden forks with soft and elastic animal sinews and animal skins for the boys. Completely captured.

Even Tai Yongyue and Tai Yonglu practice darts every day, which does not stop them from liking slingshots.

Because you can shoot a slingshot at any time, but not darts!

The old man is also thinking about visiting his wife's grave. The grass grows well in summer, but if he doesn't clean it for a few days, he is afraid that the grave will change color.

So, he responded, "Go and ask your second aunt to make some dry food and prepare some things. Let's stay in the mountain for one night and come back tomorrow."

The children all cheered, and just when they were about to run to find Liu Dongniang, a guest came outside the door.

It turned out that Mrs. Min's mother-in-law was walking around. When she saw Zhuzhu as soon as she got off the car, she smiled and said, "Miss Zhuzhu, our lady asked the old slave to bring you a box of snacks."

After that, she saluted the old man again, very respectfully.

The old man naturally wanted to greet the people in the yard, and asked Yong Lu to call Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua took over, watched people coming and going in the front yard, and took people to the backyard to drink tea.

Zhuzhu was curious and went to watch the fun, which delayed her going into the mountain.

Although the boys were disappointed, they also knew that they could not delay the family's business.

The Min family's mother-in-law exchanged some polite words with Yang Lihua, drank a few sips of tea, and then brought the snacks to Zhuzhu and said with a smile, "Miss Zhuzhu, this is what our lady likes to eat these days. I must give it to you." Try it too.”

Zhuzhu was happy and Ruannuo Nuo responded, "Thank you, mama. Thank you to Sister Min for me when you get back. When Zhuzhu comes to town, I will go and play with her."

"Hey, okay, our lady will be happy to hear this." The mother-in-law agreed with a smile, and finally got down to business with Yang Lihua.

"Madam, our lady sent the old slave here today for a small matter. The Feng family was very satisfied with the embroidery they gave to the Feng family, and naturally it was seen by many people. Some people came to our lady and asked for a high price. I wanted to embroider a pair, but our wife knew that you were busy with the workshop and was afraid that you wouldn't be able to do it, so we turned it down.

"However, yesterday, a lady I know well came to visit. Her daughter is getting married in two months and needs some embroidery. Either a big job, or some fans, purses, handkerchiefs, etc., to give to her husband's sister-in-law. A meeting ceremony with my sister-in-law.

"This job is not in a hurry, and the price is also high. I pay five taels of silver for a round fan, and two taels for the purse and handkerchief. Our lady thought it was a good deal, so we asked the old slave to ask the eldest lady if she wanted to do it."

Yang Lihua listened carefully and was a little moved.

Fans and purses are not as labor-intensive as large embroidery items. It is easy to embroider one piece in two or three days. The average wage is one tael of silver a day. I don’t know how many people will envy you!

The most important thing is that since Mrs. Min asked her mother-in-law to ask, she hopes that she will continue. There may be some considerations of human relations...

Thinking like this, Yang Lihua said, "Mommy, I will be free the day after tomorrow. If Madam is not busy, I will go to the city to talk to Madam and we will discuss it in detail then. What do you think?"

"Of course that's good!" The old nanny smiled and clapped her hands, "I'm afraid that I can't explain clearly because I'm such a clumsy person. Our madam will definitely be happy if the eldest lady can go and sit with us."

Once the matter was settled, after a few more gossips, the old lady took her leave.

Yang Lihua gave her a purse, which contained a piece of silver worth three or four yuan, which was regarded as hard-earned money.

The old grandma gave in for a moment and then accepted.

After seeing off the guests, Zhuzhu hugged her grandmother's thigh and said, "Mom, Zhuzhu wants to go to the city together to play with Sister Min, and to accompany the second brother!"

Yang Lihua tapped the tip of the fat girl's nose and teased her with a smile, "Then you won't go into the mountains with grandpa?"

"Go, Zhuzhu wants to go!" The fat girl clapped her fingers and planned greedily, "Go to the mountains today, go home tomorrow, and go to the city with my mother the day after tomorrow."

Before Yang Lihua could respond, Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongning and Chen Ruiyang all gathered around with smiles. It was obvious that they were thinking the same thing as Zhuzhu.Yang Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted each one and said, "Look at your performance in the past two days. If you are disobedient, not one of you will be brought into the city!"

Several children immediately cheered. These words actually agreed to let them go to the city together!

The old man clicked his empty pipe and pot, and also laughed.

Soon, Liu Dongniang packed a backpack, which contained some steamed buns and mushroom meat sauce, as well as several kilograms of rice, some oil, salt and other sundries.

Tai Yongyue rushed to carry it behind him, while Tai Yonglu could only carry his sister's snack box and a change of laundry pants.

Of course the old man was carrying Zhuzhu himself, and he could not trust others.

He Shan had been notified a long time ago, but this time he had no intention of following the old men into the mountain. Instead, he called Weighing Instruments to make arrangements.

Wengqi and others went in and out of the grassland several times, which was very hard.This time I went into the mountains as a rest and fun activity!
Sure enough, Wengqi called the two veterans and enthusiastically escorted the old man and others out of the village.

Of course, the big black horse, the big white horse, and Sesame Ball, the iron-clad combination of these two horses and one dog, followed behind in tacit understanding.

The mountains and forests in summer are full of greenery. Take a deep breath and your chest will feel open and comfortable.

The mountain road was also familiar, and everyone wished they could touch it with their eyes closed.

The Tai family's wooden house was well built, and people from across the mountain would come to clean it, so it didn't feel decadent at all.

But after arriving, Weigher was the first to go in and check to see if there were any insects or snakes, which scared the children.

The two veterans also cut a lot of wormwood, lit the smoke and smoked it in front of and behind the house, and even near the woodpile.

The old man handed over the task of making porridge and making lunch to Tai Yonglu and the other boys, and then continued walking up with Zhuzhu and sesame balls to visit the old lady's grave.

The wooden house is halfway up the mountain, and the old lady's graveyard is at the top of the mountain. It's not too far apart. If there is danger, Sesame Ball barks a few times and everyone will hear it.

Therefore, the three scales were not followed. Not only did they chop wood and boil water for the kang, but they also had to take the boys to hunt some prey nearby to add something to their lunch.

The old man and Zhuzhu gave the old lady some snacks as usual, cleaned up the area around the grave, and then sat in front of the grave to look at the scenery and chat in private.

The old man held the fat girl in his arms and asked his family, Mr. Tai San, Chen Zhao and other close people one by one what color their hair was lately.

Zhuzhu thought seriously, counting back and forth twice with her ten fat fingers, and finally concluded that everyone was safe and no one had black hair.

The old man breathed a long sigh of relief, because after the last wolf pack incident, the people behind the scenes had stopped making any noise.

He couldn't guess whether the other party had scruples or was preparing for worse means!

At this moment, his granddaughter gave him some reassurance, and the wrinkles on his brows were loosened a little.

The mountain breeze was a bit cool, and Zhuzhu sneezed after playing with the sesame ball for a while.

The old man quickly got up, said hello to his wife and went down the mountain.

Sesame Ball Pi Dingpeng ran ahead to clear the way, and the old man followed behind with his granddaughter on his back.

Zhuzhu was so happy that she pointed at the birds on the roadside and praised them for their beauty, and then said where there are good things. The old man also responded every word.

The grandfather and grandson were talking happily, but Sesame Ball suddenly stopped, twitched his nose a few times quickly, and then ran into the woods on one side! (End of chapter)
