Seeing Li Xiuhong's desire to speak, Gu Ye saw through what she was thinking and said with a smile, "if Xiuhong is willing to help, she is welcome. What do you think of the salary compared with that of Aunt Li? "

Widow Li said in a hurry: "children's home, can't help much, how can let you spend a piece of money?"

"Sister Xiuhong can do it. She used to pick up mountain goods more than adults! As long as the required workload is met, her salary is absolutely indispensable! " Gu Ye's words brightened Li Xiuhong's dim eyes. She believes that she can do better than her mother! She will cherish this hard won opportunity to make money!

"Sister ye, I can help. You don't need your salary. You just need to teach me how to recognize herbal medicine... " Li Xiaohai comes over and looks at Gu Ye timidly with a nervous smile.

"Xiaohai!" Widow Li interrupts her son's words eagerly, for fear that he may annoy Gu Ye and cause them to lose the opportunity they just got. "Miss ye'er, the child is not sensible. Don't take his words seriously."

Unexpectedly, Gu Ye agreed: "OK! Come on, pick up the herbs for me. See? Aunt Li's cut medicine is Gastrodia elata, which is an oval tuber. We can pick them from the mountains. Its stem is erect, up to two meters high, without leaves... "

Li Xiaohai listened carefully. Suddenly, his eyes brightened and he exclaimed happily, "I seem to have seen this kind of plant. It's in a valley behind the mountain. It's a pity that I didn't know it at that time Sister ye, is Gastrodia valuable? "

Gu Ye nodded and said, "Gastrodia elata is a kind of precious medicinal material. One jin of raw Gastrodia elata is worth about two liang silver."

Li Xiaohai was stunned: "it turns out that herbs are so valuable! Hundreds of Wen are in front of me, I don't know. Alas... "

"It doesn't matter. Gastrodia elata is suitable for harvesting in winter and spring. Wait for the snow on the mountain, let my brother take you to dig! The quality of Gastrodia elata dug in winter is better than that in spring, and the price is higher. If you dig it back, I'll collect it at the market price! "

Widow Li said, "no, no! According to the rules of the money manager, it is 20% lower than the price in the town. Miss ye'er taught him how to make money. We can't take advantage of the girl without conscience. "

Gu Ye couldn't help looking at Li Xiaohai, who nodded, and said with a smile: "I buy Herbs from the outside of the mountain. It's the same price, and I have to work hard to get it back. Who can make money for, not make it? Aunt Li, the rules of manager Qian are set by him. If you sell it to me, you should follow my rules. "

Days, as if someone poked a hole, the snow is still reluctant to bear the ground, once again is ten days. Fortunately, most families have enough food and vegetables to survive in winter. However, I don't know when the snow will fall, so we can't supply it from outside the mountain. In order to prevent their families from running out of food, many families in the village have two meals a day. Even so, there are still insufficient reserves, facing the situation of cut off cooking.

The grain brought by widow Li was saved again and again, but it was eaten up on the tenth day of the first day of the lunar new year. She had a hundred and ten Wen in her hand, and after five days' work at home, she made nearly 100 Wen. But the snow closed the mountain, the hands have no place to buy grain.

If the family doesn't farm land, the grain depends on buying. She didn't know how much grain she had in her family. In addition, she felt that it was enough trouble for her family to take care of her family. How could she be so kind as to ask for food from others? If there is not much food in the family and she speaks, will it not be embarrassing for others?

When she was cooking, she found that there were few grains of grain in the porridge cooked by widow Li except some dried wild vegetables. Originally, a steamed bread was hot one day, and the family ate it separately. I don't know when the only steamed bread was gone.

During the meal, aunt Yan mentioned the embarrassment of the Li family. Gu Xiao put down his chopsticks and thought, "how many days can we eat our food?"

Aunt Yan didn't think about it. She opened her mouth and said, "steamed steamed bread and bean curd can eat until the 16th day of the first month. Fine grain can last ten days at most. By the way, we still have the coarse grain left in the past, which looks like twenty or thirty Jin... "

"If the snow continues to fall, we must organize people to buy food outside the mountain!" It is estimated that, like widow Li, there are more than one family and two households in need of food. Gu Xiao's index finger knocked on the Kang Table and made up his mind, "well, our coarse grain, which the children don't like to eat, is sold to widow Li. In a few days, when the wind and snow are light, I will go out of the mountain to buy grain! "

"Grandfather, I'll go too!" Gu Ye's big eyes twinkle with expectation and pleading, which makes people can't bear to refuse. She was trapped in the snow at home, every day in addition to pharmacy is pharmaceutical, almost become a pharmaceutical machine. Skiing to town is more fun than staying at home.

Gu Xiao hasn't opened her mouth yet. Gu Ming does not hesitate to put out her little flame of hope: "don't even think about it! After a day of freezing in the snow, you don't want your little body? "

"I'm ready! I'm as strong as an ox by you now. I don't believe who is stronger than me Gu Ye glared at his brother, like an angry toad.

Gu Ming squinted at her with a contemptuous look and said, "if someone's cattle are as thin as you, don't mention ploughing, they have to shake when they walk. Come on, grandfather and I can't let you go. I won't go either. I'll watch you at home

"Bad brother, bad brother! Ignore you Gu Ye turns his anger into food. He takes the rabbit legs in the spicy fried rabbit meat as Gu Ming and gnaws his teeth.When the family finished their meal, aunt Yan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Gu Ye went back to his room, picked up the doctor's note given to her by his uncle, peeled pine nuts and looked at it leisurely.

At this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a sharp cold wind took the opportunity to get into the warm room. Gu yetou didn't lift the tunnel: "aunt Yan, is the dishwashing liquid I made easy to use? Pure plant essence, clean oil, clean and clean, and do not hurt your hands! "

"Ye Er It's me... " Li Xiuhong clenched her hand and stood inside the curtain. Her eyes looked to one side and did not dare to look at Gu Ye.

Gu Ye put down his letters, patted the Kang, and said with a smile, "sister Xiuhong, I was just going to talk to you and Aunt Li about your salary."

Li Xiuhong is sitting on the edge of the Kang with a bunch of pine nuts stuffed in her hand by Gu Ye. "Is there anything we can't do well?" she asked nervously? My mother and I are just starting now. We are not proficient enough. We will get better and better in the future. It doesn't matter if you give us less money these days! "

Don't be nervous, pat her hand on the back! It's not that you're not bad, it's too good! You and Aunt Li are very quick to get started. You do the work carefully and carefully. After half a month's probation, I'm going to raise your salary to 15 Wen a day. "

"Ah? And Pay for the increase? No No, ten Wen is enough! " Li Xiuhong's uneasy heart gradually calmed down, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes.

"You've been a great help to me. You can afford it." Gu Ye looked at her face, which had lost weight. After a moment's silence, Gu Ye asked, "you and Aunt Li's wages have already reached 100 Wen. If you need it urgently, you can withdraw it in advance... "

"No no I'm not here to pay It's not , I I just came to ask Does your family have more food? "Li Xiuhong summoned up her courage and hoped that Ai Ai could use it as wages if she had. My mother and I can give us ten catties of coarse grain for five days.... "

At the end of the day, her voice was too low to be heard. She also knew that even days of snowstorms had blocked the way to the town, and there was not much grain in every household. Gu Wuye's family did not farm, and all the food they ate was bought from the town. After eating for nearly 20 days, there should be not much left. But Her family really can't open the pot. If she doesn't open her mouth, they will have to finish cooking tomorrow.

Gu Yezheng is thinking about how to lend the grain to Aunt Li's family is not very deliberate. She did not expect Li Xiuhong to speak first.

"Wait a minute." Gu Ye came down from the Kang, put on his cloak and went to the kitchen. Not long, carrying a small bag of grain came in, "this is 20 jin coarse grain. On the market, five Wen a catty of coarse grain, you and Aunt Li's wages, just can buy 20 jin. "

"No, the price you're talking about is the price of grain in good weather. It has been snowing for more than ten days, and the price of grain is bound to rise. In a disaster year, you can't buy ten catties for a hundred Wen! " Li Xiu red face, quickly waved his hands, refused to accept the grain bag.

Gu Ye put the grain bag into her hand and said, "when we buy these grains, we have five Wen and one catty. The villagers in our hometown can earn your money..."

"Beautiful red!" Widow Li rushed in from the outside, grabbed the grain bag from her daughter's hand and yelled, "you child, how can you be so ignorant? At this time, no one has much food. Have you ever thought that they will be hungry when you borrow the grain of Gu Ye family

Widow Li has a weak character and a good face, but her heart is kind. Doesn't she love her two children? She knew that she would save some food from her mouth and lend it to her. Can borrow to live in other people's home, already owe a lot of gratitude, if again because they let people starve, how can she be happy to go?

"Mother, this is not the time to talk about face! Our family's grain has been finished, the pressure of the vegetable cellar is pressed by the roof beam, without food, what shall we eat tomorrow? Do you have the heart to watch your brother go hungry Li Xiuhong looks at her mother with tears in her eyes.

Widow Li's thin face was wrinkled into a ball and showed a little sadness. She thought for a moment and said, "tomorrow, I'll go to the village head's house and ask him. He has a lot of land and should be able to spare some for us..."

"However, the village head's grandfather has many family members I don't know when the snow will stop. His family may not lend it to us. " Li Xiuhong took a look at the grain bag on the ground and dropped her head.
