Chapter 4 Making a living in the future

Zhou Yongnian had previously learned that Du Yao bumped him to death in order not to marry him and almost lost his life, so he didn't want to force him.But now that she has decided not to leave, the bridal chamber candles she owed before can be made up.

It wasn't until he said it so directly that Du Yao realized that she was being targeted by wolves.

A face flushed red.

Even if he really intends to live with Zhou Yongnian, he still feels that he has a good skin, but Du Yao really can't accept all the men he has known for only a few days.

But her face was blushing, "I think it's better for the relationship to flow slowly. After we get along for a long time, the relationship will gradually deepen. These will come naturally."

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, the more confident she became.

He didn't even dare to look up at Zhou Yongnian.

Zhou Yongnian didn't force Du Yao, but he went to the back room with Xiao Baozi.Du Yao stood where she was, she didn't expect that Zhou Yongnian, a man of five grades and three rough men, would be so easy to discuss.

After all, she was his daughter-in-law in exchange for a blind man.

She made 20 taels of silver today by selling snake skin and snake gallbladder, rabbit meat and chicken. How much would a blind bear be exchanged for?
Du Yao returned to the room, although she was exhausted, but thinking of the consummation of the house that Zhou Yongnian talked about just now, she felt a lot of pressure and couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning.

She got up early the next day, squatting in the yard to figure it out.

When Zhou Yongnian came out of the room, he saw Du Yao frowning.Feeling a little strange, he simply walked up to Du Yao and called her name shallowly.

Du Yao was startled, but when she looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yongnian, she could only sigh slightly and pointed to the empty courtyard.

"Although we made a lot of money yesterday, we have already spent a lot of money to buy daily necessities. I am thinking that it is now autumn, and the weather is getting colder every day, and most of the wild animals in the mountains are hiding. Get up. When the snow covers the mountains, we won't be able to hunt at all. What will we do for a living then?"

Du Yaotao pulled his head. Orion's life is very unstable. Only when he catches prey can he have meat and money to buy daily necessities. If he can't catch Orion, he will have to starve.It's good for her and Zhou Yongnian to go hungry for a meal or two as adults, but Xiao Baozi is just at the age of growth.

"Besides, it's winter, so I have to renovate the house anyway. These earth-embryo houses are leaking from the wind and rain, and they are still rickety. I don't know when they will collapse." Du Yao looked at the dilapidated houses in front of her worriedly. , with a long sigh. "And we have to add some winter clothes, especially beanbags. We can't just wear your old clothes all the time, can we?"

The little bun is cute and sensible, Du Yao can't wait to give him all the good things, why would he let him wear old clothes?
"I also want to buy some new furniture, or repair the yard, and raise some livestock such as chickens and ducks. Even if I can't hunt the prey at that time, I can take them to the market to exchange for money." Du Yao's idea is very good. , but the reality is very skinny.Even if she and Zhou Yongnian were sold, they would not be able to get so much money.

Zhou Yongnian was silent.

What Du Yao said is reasonable, these need to be resolved urgently, and there is nothing missing. "what can I do?"

Seeing the frustration in Zhou Yongnian's eyes, Du Yao hastily added soothingly. "Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. It is still autumn, and there is still some time before the heavy snow seals the mountains. We can still work hard."

"It's too late to raise livestock in autumn, and it's very troublesome to keep them warm in winter. It's better to wait until spring when the flowers bloom. At that time, we can find a good and cheap carpenter and build two fences and one fence. , you can raise chickens and ducks.”

"You don't need to trouble outsiders for carpentry, I will." Zhou Yongnian interjected, "I made all the furniture in the room. If you need it, when I go to the mountains these two days, I can find some good wood and bring it back to you Make fences."

His thoughts are the same as Du Yao's, they are all for a better life.

"You know carpentry?" Du Yao's eyes widened, and she swallowed instinctively, she couldn't believe Zhou Yongnian's words.

Zhou Yongnian nodded and pointed to the two chairs placed in the yard, "I made the tables, chairs and benches in this room, and even the wooden bed you sleep on. Although the workmanship is rough, it is still not enough to deal with the two fences. question."

"You made the chair?" Du Yao couldn't help raising her voice. Zhou Yongnian was too modest. She thought the furniture in the room was very special. Although the style was simple, the workmanship was exquisite and delicate. If Zhou Yongnian hadn't told her, I thought it was made by a famous artist.

Zhou Yongnian nodded, for some reason, when Du Yao praised him just now, his heart was sweet and comfortable.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Then I'll trouble you to make two fences. I'll go to the mountain to pick some edible mushrooms and wild vegetables. Not only can we satisfy the appetite of the three of us, but we can also exchange money at the market."

Du Yao's wishful thinking has already been planned, besides mushrooms, she can also dig some wild vegetables, which can be sold for money.

Thinking of making money, little stars appeared in her eyes.

Just as he was about to stand up, the little bun came trotting all the way, slipped into Du Yao's arms, and called mother sweetly.

Du Yao felt that even her steel-like heart was softened by Xiao Baozi's two motherly voices, so she hugged him and kissed him hard.The little bun was tickled by Du Yao, he fled out while struggling, and asked Zhou Yongnian for foreign aid.

Zhou Yongnian smiled, reached out and took the little bun out of Du Yao's arms.

Du Yao grumbled sullenly, feeling a little emotional.

Zhou Yongnian was amused by Du Yao's appearance, and stretched out his hand to gently hook the tip of Xiao Baozi's nose.Xiao Baozi imitated Du Yao's posture just now, and rubbed against his face, and said in a childish voice. "Mother kissed me, and I kissed Daddy, so will Daddy kiss Mother?"

Although the words were innocent, Zhou Yongnian and Du Yao's faces were full of embarrassment after saying these words, and they were so quiet that they could hear a needle drop.

What is the little bun talking about?
Du Yao swallowed guiltily, "Well, I'll go clean up, find a bag and go out to pick mushrooms. If you're going to hunt later, give me the bean bag, and I'll watch him."

Zhou Yongnian nodded.

But call Du Yao who is about to run away. "I will come back later today. After hunting, I want to take the prey to the city to sell and then buy some things back. According to the rules, you have to go back to the door tomorrow, so you can't go back empty-handed."

She forgot to return the door.

But his eyes sank slightly, "I see, but if you buy less things, just let it go through the motions."

She still remembered that Yuanchen's mother betrothed her daughter to someone else for thirty catties of rice, but when she saw Zhou Yongnian carried Blind Xiong to propose marriage, she immediately changed her mind.She only has money in her eyes, as if she regards her own daughter as a commodity that can be sold at will.
