At dinner time, the two felt much more at ease with each other.

However, due to the lack of silver, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

The piece of meat that Di Yelei had taken back was made into soup, and the pieces of meat he had picked for Sisi were put into the bowls of the two children by Liu Sisi. She herself drank most of the meat soup.

“You eat more. In two days, I’ll go to the mountain, and I won’t let you and the children go hungry.”

Di Yelei insisted on putting the meat into Liu Sisi’s bowl.

Liu Sisi shook her head and took it out: “The children are growing, and we can’t delay their growth. Just like you said, it’s only a few days, and it won’t starve me. Don’t worry.”

Di Yelei thought about it and gave up insisting on it.

In the evening, when they went to bed, Di Yelei changed his previous habit of staying far away and put his arm around Liu Sisi, lying flat with her in his arms, and a warm feeling surrounded them.

Liu Sisi lay quietly at his side, resting her head on his shoulder, thinking about her own thoughts.

“Sisi, while I’m away these days, why don’t we take the opportunity to raise the yard fencing wall a bit? It will save other people from easily jumping in and compromise our safety.”

Since Sisi is young and everyone knows that Di goes hunting at night, the safety of the two children and Sisi is exposed to those with ill intentions. Di Yelei had no intention of hunting in the mountains before solving the current difficulties. Relying solely on the two puppies for security is not realistic.

At this moment, Liu Sisi understood his meaning and examined the surrounding architecture for a moment. She gently stood up and lifted her head.

“Ye Lei, why don’t we take this opportunity to expand the yard while raising the wall? In the future, even if we need to build more houses, we don’t have to demolish the wall and rebuild it. What do you think?”

Liu Sisi’s words gave Di Yelei a sudden idea, and he sat upright: “What do you think is the best way to expand?”

“Isn’t there an undeveloped piece of wasteland next to us? I see there’s nothing being produced on it, and no one is planting crops. We can buy it from the Land Officer. It’s not very useful for planting crops, so it should be cheap.”

The current courtyard is small, and it doesn’t take much effort to flatten the adjacent land for expansion. It would be perfect for the courtyard.

What’s rare is that there is a small hidden river nearby, with water flowing along the slope from the trench. Although the water source is small, it would be enough for a single family to use for daily life.

“That piece of wasteland is only about six or seven acres and shouldn’t cost much silver. Once I have some time and sell more game, I’ll buy it.”

As Di Yelei spoke halfway, he suddenly remembered that their silver had run out, so he hastily corrected himself.

Liu Sisi tight-lipped and got down from the bed, walked to a bare wall, carefully removed a not-too-big base blue stone along the stone crevice, put her small hand inside and took out a cloth bag, handing it to Di Yelei.

“What is this…?”

Di Yelei’s eyes sparkled as he eagerly opened the cloth bag to see small amounts of silver.

Liu Sisi shyly touched her nose and smiled: “As the saying goes, a sly rabbit has three burrows! I wouldn’t keep all the silver in one place. There’s more here, let me check if it has been stolen.” Saying this, she went to the desk and looked at Di Yelei with a smile.

“Here, you still hid silver?” He asked in surprise.

Liu Sisi nodded with certainty!
