The kebabs and green bean soup were almost sold out. After Lin Siyan sold the last few kebabs and green bean soup, she cleaned up the stall with Li **. When she was about to go find Uncle Liu, she saw that Uncle Liu had already stopped by the roadside with his ox cart. The two of them put the things on the ox cart and asked Uncle Liu to help look after them. Finally, they began to visit the temple fair.
At first, Li Xiaobo didn't plan to go to the temple fair with Lin Siyan, but she said that she wanted to buy a lot of things and was worried that she wouldn't be able to take all of them. Li Xiaobo had no choice but to follow her and accompany her shopping. Lin Siyan bought a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of straw sandals for Li Xiaobo. She also bought a mat and some small things for the Cui couple. She also bought a few beautiful flower ornaments for the Zhou and Tian families. Then, she turned around and prepared to leave. Because she had earned a lot of money from the half lamb skewers and the bucket of green bean soup, Li Xiaobo didn't say anything about her rare extravagance.
"Alright, I've bought the flower accessories for sister-in-law and sister-in-law Liu. The rest are almost done. Let's go back.”Lin Siyan checked the things she bought and made sure she didn't miss anything.
Li Xiaobo looked at her and hesitated for a moment.”
She was stunned for a few seconds and nodded. Then, she carried the things she bought and slowly walked to where Uncle Liu parked the ox cart.
On the way, she saw Zhou Xiaocui carrying a bamboo basket and rushing past her. She wanted to stop her, but she suddenly noticed that she was panicking. The clothes on her chest were a little messy, as if something terrible had just happened and she was hiding from someone. She paused for a few seconds and missed the time to stop her. She watched helplessly as Zhou Xiaocui's figure disappeared into the crowd.
When she returned to Uncle Liu's ox-cart parking spot, there were already a few people sitting beside the ox-cart, waiting for everyone to arrive. Lin Siyan took a look and realized that other than a few male and female villagers, she unexpectedly saw an unfamiliar person. It was actually the village's crippled Liu Yong. At this moment, he was smiling happily and talking to a few people beside him.
Lin Siyan put the things on the ox cart and then stood far away from Liu Yong and the others. She was calculating the money she had spent today and planned to go back and calculate how much she had earned today. Therefore, she did not pay attention to Liu Yong and the others who were laughing from time to time. After a while, Li Xiaobo appeared with a straw mat. Uncle Liu counted the number of people and let everyone get on the car to go home.
When they got home, Lin Siyan poured all the money she had earned in the day on the bed and began to count it. Li Xiaobo went to clean the barbecue rack. When she was selling the roast meat, other than the bones of the lamb and the other parts that were not very meaty, the meat that was equivalent to the entire lamb was only about 20 kilograms. She sold it for a total of five taels of silver and six hundred wen, while the green bean soup was sold for two taels of silver and four hundred wen. After deducting the cost, she had made a net profit of five taels of silver.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Siyan brought the gifts she had bought for Madam Tian and the Lin family. When she passed by the well on her way back, she saw the gossiping women gathered together and talking. When they saw her passing by, they all tacitly shut their mouths, as if they were saying something that she couldn't hear.
Lin Siyan felt a little weird. She knew what these people were thinking. Ever since she married Li **, the villagers looked at her differently. There was sympathy, pity, disdain, and of course, there were also people who were watching her as a joke. It was as if they were looking forward to her marrying the village's fiendish 'Gui Jianchou' and waiting to be abused. Fortunately, she did not like to walk around the village. Other than meeting these people at the market, she spent most of her time at home, so she pretended that these various gazes did not exist.
But this time, it was a little strange. After she passed by the well and walked a little further away, the women began to murmur again. When she pretended to turn around inadvertently, she happened to see one of them pointing at her. However, when she saw it, she seemed a little embarrassed and retracted her hand in embarrassment. Her voice also became much softer.
When Lin Siyan returned home, Li Xiaobo had already gone out. She knew that he had gone to open up wasteland, so she followed Li Xiaobo's instructions and found the only chopper left in the house. Then, she cooked for two people and left.
The wasteland that Li Xiaobo and the village chief wanted to go to was at the foot of the Southern Mountain Ridge, about 15 minutes away from the bamboo house. It was actually a branch of the mountain behind the bamboo house. The large mountain behind the bamboo house was called the South Mountain Ridge. The terrain outside the South Mountain Ridge was generally flat, and there were not many weeds and trees. Therefore, when every family had land, no one was willing to waste time on the slope at the foot of the South Mountain Ridge.
It was not easy to open up wasteland, especially in a place with many short trees. When she came to the slope, she saw Li Xiaobo chopping trees with a chopper. Behind him was a clean ground about three meters wide. She held the chopper but didn't know where to start.
"You're here." When Li Xiaobo was resting, he happened to see her staring at him in a daze, so he pointed at the place he had cut." I'll cut a road on the piece of land that belongs to us first. You can widen the road on both sides along this road, making it as big as the road I cut.”
Lin Siyan looked at Li Xiaobo and made a few gestures, roughly understanding what he meant. To get out of the wasteland, one first had to circle out the piece of land that belonged to them. In order to accurately circle out the land, one had to look carefully first. Then, one had to start cutting out a small path and then widen it to about three meters. After the entire area was surrounded, he only needed to find a suitable time to light the fire on the outer edge. This way, he could save a lot of time cutting the weeds inside.
In fact, it was to cut out a fire zone to prevent the flames from burning to the periphery. After the fire burned out the insects, snakes, weeds, and vines inside, only the short trees were left. At that time, the trees would be slowly cut down and piled up. After about a year, when the firewood dried up, they could be carried home to burn.
However, thinking about it, it would only take a short while. However, such a large area would probably not be completely opened up within a year if the couple relied solely on their manpower. After all, after cutting down the trees, they had to dig the ground bit by bit. The roots, grass roots, and stones in the ground were enough for them to suffer, but no matter how difficult their days were, they still had to live on.
July wasn't considered a hot season yet, but the midday sun was already unbearable. Lin Siyan and Li Xiaobo found a shade and sat down. She took out the food. Four flatbread with wild chives and two bowls of side dishes.
