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


    However, due to theck 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 dy 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 t with her in his arms, and a warm feeling surrounded them.


    Liu Sisiy 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 andpromise 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 wastnd next to us? I see there’s nothing being produced on it, and no one is nting crops. We can buy it from the Land Officer. It’s not very useful for nting crops, so it should be cheap.”


    The current courtyard is small, and it doesn’t take much effort to tten the adjacentnd 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 wastnd 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 ce. 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!


    Di Yelei was also interested in Liu Sisi’s hiding ce and searched high and low, turning over everything on the desk and in the two drawers, but still found nothing.


    He couldn’t stand it and moved the desk away to examine the wall behind it. After hitting and tapping on it for a while, he still came up empty-handed.


    Finally, he had to admit that Sisi had hidden it well: “Sisi, where on earth did you hide it?”


    “Right under your nose, you just can’t see it.”


    Liu Sisiughed proudly and took the bone hairpin from her hair. She carefully pried the surface of the desk several times gently. In no time, there was a small wax strip on the surface. Crushing the wax strip, she revealed a 5-tael silver ticket.


    It turned out that there was a wood knot on the surface of the desk. Liu Sisi carefully hollowed out the area below the knot, put the silver ticket in, sealed it with wax, smoothed the surface of the wood, trimmed any excess parts of the knot, and put it back in its original position. It looked just like before, but there was a silver ticket inside the wood.


    “Look! The money’s here! There are 5 taels of silver in one ce, making a total of 10 taels. Plus, I have 432 copper coins in my hand, which should be enough to buy those wastnd plots.” Liu Sisi took out the scattered copper coins from her arms and handed them to Di Yelei.


    “There’s actually so much? …”


    Di Yelei’s voice trembled as he spoke!


    He thought all the silver was gone. But little did he know, they still had so much left! They had 10 taels of silver in hand!


    How could he not be excited?


    This sense of satisfaction was far greater than when he made the 15 taels of silver. It made him even happier and more joyful!


    “You… Sisi, you’re so smart!”


    Unable to hold back his excitement, Di Yelei grabbed Liu Sisi and lifted her high above his head, spinning her around wildly twice!


    “Ah! Stop – put me down quickly; I’m scared of heights!”


    Liu Sisi screamed in panic.


    “Good, Sisi is really good! Haha!”


    Unable to suppress his excitement, Di Yelei finally let her down. But suddenly, he lowered his head and nted a vigorous kiss on her cheek.


    At that moment, Liu Sisi froze!


    Her big, watery eyes widened in shock, and her little mouth opened slightly as she looked at him timidly.


    Di Yelei also froze. He hadn’t expected the little woman in his arms to taste so sweet. It was like biting into a ripe peach – juicy, tender, and tempting. He couldn’t help but want to taste her over and over, unwilling to let go.


    Liu Sisi was clearly frightened.


    Her little face flushed all at once, and even her delicate earlobes and swan-like neck turned as red as if they had been painted with rouge.


    A ripple shimmered in her bright eyes, and one nce was enough to melt anyone in her wet, deer-like eyes.


    “Sisi -”


    Di Yelei’s voice quivered, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and he hugged her tightly.
