Chapter 359 Thanks
"We don't have much food at home, so we won't send food to the Yun family. However, we have been staying here for a long time recently, and the children and I have dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains."
"I'm good at pickling vegetables. So I want to give them a jar of pickled vegetables I made myself. What do you think?"
"Isn't that a bit too much of a gift? I'll think of another way."
"Wife, I think your idea is good. The eldest brother of the Yun family also knows the situation of our family. If the gift we give is too expensive, I guess they won't accept it."
"On the contrary, they might accept the wild vegetables we dig ourselves. Besides, it takes a lot of effort to dig, wash and pickle wild vegetables."
"Besides, everyone in the village knows that you are good at pickling pickles, so this is our token of appreciation."
"Okay, then we have it settled. When it gets dark, I'll go pick up a can of pickled vegetables and send it to the Yun family. Otherwise, I'll always be worried about this."
"it is good."
Several other households in the village who had received help from the Yun family were also discussing how to return the favor to the Yun family.
Some of them planned to send food to the Yun family, and some planned to send some small gadgets made by themselves. Although the things were not expensive, they were also thoughtful.
In Qingfeng Village, Li Huailiang also received a letter from the military advisor via carrier pigeon.
He had actually considered the arrangements in the military advisor's letter, but he felt that the military advisor would not arrange it this way.
Who knew that the military advisor and the eldest prince would choose the most unlikely method. Of course, this was also the safest method.
Therefore, Li Huailiang was busy arranging things for Qingfeng Village. In addition, he also needed to select some people to accompany the young master on the journey.
The most important thing is that the person that the military advisor arranged to take over his position has not arrived yet. It is estimated that the person will arrive at night, so he has no way to inform the young master now.
However, he did not withdraw the team stationed outside Shilin Town. According to them, the team that the young master was in did not set out today and would set out tomorrow.
Therefore, he had to arrange everything today so that he could meet the young master's team on the official road down the mountain of Qingfengzhai tomorrow morning.
Thinking of this, he still had to arrange for someone to talk to the young master, and he would go with the team to set off, so that the young master would not have to wait for him to pick him up.
After the people he was assigned to go to Shilin Town, he hurriedly ate a meal and started working again.
It was soon evening and the Yun family gathered around the table to eat.
Xie Zirui pulled Yun Yiyi's clothes and walked towards the official road.
When they reached Guanlu, Yun Yiyi asked, "Brother Zirui, we are leaving tomorrow. Why hasn't the person who was supposed to pick you up come yet?"
Xie Zirui thought of the news he received in the afternoon and smiled secretly, "Yiyi, let me tell you, the person who picked me up said that they will not come to pick me up."
Yun Yiyi was stunned when she heard this, "Brother Zirui, what happened? Why didn't they come to pick you up?"
Xie Zirui patted Yun Yiyi on the shoulder and said, "Yiyi, don't worry. Let me tell you, the people who picked me up said that they decided to set off behind our team."
"As for me, I will continue to go with you. Mainly so as not to attract attention."
Yun Yiyi was still a little confused, "Brother Zirui, will it attract attention if I pick you up?"
"Yes, that's right, Yiyi. I can't tell you the rest, but this is good for all of us."
Yun Yiyi glanced at Xie Zirui's face and said, "Okay, Brother Zirui, since you have something to hide, I won't ask you. You're making things difficult for yourself."
"However, we can still continue to travel together, and I am very happy. My parents and my eldest brother will also be very happy at home."
Xie Zirui smiled widely, which was rare for him. "Yiyi, I'm very happy too. Before, I felt very sad when I thought about leaving you guys."
"Brother Zirui, if that's the case, let's not tell our family. Let's keep this between us."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Yiyi."
"Then let's go back and wash up and go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
The two returned soon, but Li Xiucai and his mother came home with a large basket in their hands.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui looked at each other and turned to wash up. After washing up, the two went to sleep.
Zhang and Yun the butcher on the opposite side watched the two children sneak away and smiled secretly.
"Brother Yun, thanks to your children Yiyi and Zirui's quick response that night, otherwise my family would not have had a carriage robbed."
"If the two kids had reacted a little slower, especially Yiyi, our mule cart would have been stolen by the bandits."
"So our whole family is very grateful to your family. My mother brought some food for the two children to express our gratitude."
Li Xiucai's mother lifted the cloth on the basket and handed it to Zhang. "This is a pot of brown sugar buns that my daughter-in-law and I steamed for our two children."
"This brown sugar bun is sweet, and the children will definitely like it. And this half pound of brown sugar and half pound of white sugar are also for the children to drink."
"Finally, this is a bowl of meat sauce cooked by my daughter-in-law. It tastes good. I can add it to your dish."
Zhang and Yun the Butcher looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Aunt, the two kids didn't do anything. Besides, we are all neighbors. It's really rude of you to bring something like this over."
"Yes, Auntie. We are all from the same village. It is only natural for us to help each other when we encounter difficulties. Please take the things back."
"We are fleeing from famine now, and the children don't have much snacks to eat. You can take some back to sweeten the children at home. Of course, I appreciate your kindness."
Li Xiucai's mother was unhappy when she saw this. "That's not what you said. Those two kids helped my family find a mule cart and several bags of food."
"It will cost a lot of money to buy a new mule cart and a few bags of grain. Besides, we are leaving soon. If we lose the carriage and mule cart, we will have to pay a lot of money to buy a new one."
"We only have one mule cart left. With so many people in our family, as well as food and other things, it's hard to fit them all. That would delay a lot of things."
"Brother Yun, sister-in-law, my mother is right. If there is only one mule cart left in the family, everyone in our family, except the children, will have to run away with it."
"Besides, there are no horse-drawn carriages or mule-drawn carriages for sale in Shilin Town. We will be in trouble."
"Now we have two mule carts, one for carrying things and one for carrying people. If we squeeze in, it will be no problem."
