Chapter 57 The Concept of Money

  Chu Lao Yezi had a fire in his heart and didn't feel hungry. When he came back from the fields, he saw his wife still sitting on the kang staring blankly, so he gruffly made his own bed and went to sleep.

  A night without words.

  The next morning, Gui Hua was woken up early by Chu Yan Nian.

  It turned out that today was a school holiday, and Chu Yannian also had a one-day break.

  On ordinary days off on holidays, Chu Yan Nian would always take his younger brother and sister to the mountain to pick wild vegetables and so on, today is no exception.

  As for what happened the day before, Chu Yan Nian still didn't know, but felt that the atmosphere at home was a bit off. Since others didn't mention it, he didn't ask either, thinking to himself that when they went up the mountain today, he would quietly ask his younger brother and sister about it.

  Osmanthus knew that his elder brother was not a person who didn't talk about reason and only did bad things, so he told him everything that happened yesterday.

  However, when he heard that his mother had been beaten by someone, he immediately got angry and shouted to fight with the people in the main house.

  In the end, Chu Yande was scared to tears, and Gui Hua was persuading him in a soft voice. Only then did Chu Yan temporarily give up, saying that this family must be divided.

  The big mountain behind Xiquhe Village is called Daqing Mountain, just like its name, the whole mountain is lush and green. It's said that even in winter, there's no lack of green on this mountain.

  Osmanthus has only been in this time and space for a month, and has never seen what the big green mountain looks like in winter. However, looking at the coniferous trees that appear from time to time on the mountain, it's not surprising that the big green mountain is still green in winter.

  Although Chu said that Nian would bring his younger brother and sister to the mountain every day, this was actually Guihua's first time climbing Daqing Mountain. The previous time, because her body was still weak, Mo refused to let her follow them up the mountain.

  For the first time, I felt the pure and original forest, and my heart was uncontrollably excited. While picking wild vegetables with Chu Yan Nian, I also observed the scenery on the mountain, of course, and searched for the many "treasures" in the mountains.

  According to Guihua's understanding of Dashan, as long as there are trees, forests and grass on the mountain, there will definitely be all kinds of fruits and food.

  At this time, the Osmanthus didn't think about relying on Daqing Mountain to get rich, but only thought about whether they could find more food, at least so that a family's belly wouldn't be so hungry anymore.

  If it weren't for the separation of families, and if such a situation were placed right in front of her, Osmanthus would have never realized that life was so difficult.

  Last night after dinner, Chu Lishou and his family gathered together. Mo Shi took out all the private savings she had accumulated for the first time, a total of 132 coins.

  As for the concept of an essay, Guihua wasn't very clear about it. After asking around, she finally understood what an essay was all about.

  At normal market prices, a catty of refined salt costs about 30 cents, a catty of coarse salt costs about 10 cents, a catty of pork belly is around 35 cents, and the price of a catty of rice generally fluctuates between 30 to 40 cents. As for unhusked rice, one catty usually only costs around 18-20 cents.

  After hearing such an example, Osmanthus fragrans couldn't help but secretly sigh. One hundred and thirty-two Wen, if buying rice, can only buy about three catties. If you only buy refined salt, you can only buy more than four catties. If you want to buy some meat, it's probably around this amount too.
