You are steady and capable, so you can help look after them. Ah Hai, Ah He also have a good relationship with our Xiao Yun.

So if you are willing, you, Ahai and Ahe can all go to the provincial capital with us, and you will get three taels of silver per month.

As for your family, don't worry, we will take care of anything. We don't need your reply right now. You can discuss it with your family first and reply to me tomorrow."

Li the Hunter nodded: "Okay, Uncle Zhang, let's discuss it tonight and I'll give you a reply tomorrow."

Wait until Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Xingyun leave.

Hunter Li then said, "Father, Mother, what do you think? Should we go?"

Old Li glanced at his son and said unhappily, "Of course you will go. Do you really want your two sons to follow you hunting for the rest of their lives? Look at the people working in the Zhang family workshop in the village now. Which family is living a bad life now?

Look at the Jiang family. Now all three sons are married, just because the eldest son works in their food store. Now the family is thriving.

Moreover, Lao Zhang still wants you to be guards, and the monthly salary is three taels. That means nine taels a month for the three of you, father and son. Where else can you find a job that pays this much?

Ah Hai, Ah He is grown up too, and they will have to get married in a year or two. Now that you have the chance to go out, you can't refuse it. "

The more Old Li talked, the more he felt that his son was not smart.

At this time, the two sons of Li the Hunter also came back from hunting in the mountains.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, today Ah He and I shot three pheasants and two rabbits." Li Hai said happily as he walked into the house.

Old Li looked at Li Hai and said, "Ah Hai, call Ah He in. Grandpa has something to tell you."

"Oh, okay." He turned to Li He who was picking up bows and arrows in the yard and said, "Ah He, Grandpa wants to talk to you about something."

"coming."

Old Li saw the two brothers coming into the house. Because they practiced martial arts and hunting, both of them were quite tall and did not look easy to bully.

"Ah Hai, Ah He, Grandpa Xiao Yun came just now. He wants you to follow Xiao Yun and the others to the city. He wants you to be their bodyguards to protect them. Do you want to follow them to the city?

Grandpa Xiaoyun also said that although the city is a big place, it is still dangerous to a certain extent. Think about it."

Li Hai heard this and said, "Grandpa, I'm not afraid. I want to go to the prefectural capital. In the past two years, I have seen Xiaoyun and the others learn more and more in the county.

Ah He and I are actually envious. We don’t want to be hunters for the rest of our lives. Besides being their bodyguard, we can also gain more experience by following Xiao Yun and the others.”

Upon hearing this, Li He also eagerly echoed: "Yeah, what big brother means is what I mean, and I am not afraid of danger."

After listening to his two grandsons, Old Man Li looked at Li the Hunter angrily and said, "Look, both of your sons are more insightful than you, and they are not very dangerous as long as you are careful.

If it was really dangerous, your Uncle Zhang would not agree to Xiaoyun. Yueyue and the others went to the provincial capital. Yueyue is a girl who is more steady and calm than her age. Sometimes I think she is calmer than many adults. This girl will have a great future.

You see, only Dashan's son went with him, which proves that Dashan and his wife also knew that going to the provincial capital was for the good of their son.

If you still hesitate, I don't know what to say to you. Think about it carefully."

After listening to his father and two sons, Li the Hunter realized that he had been thinking in the wrong direction. Going to the capital city was a good opportunity. He thought it through and said:

"Then father, I will go to Uncle Zhang tomorrow, and the three of us will go." He then looked at his wife Zhou and said, "His mother, we are not at home, so please take care of father and mother."

Zhou looked at her head of the family and said softly, "Well, don't worry about the family, we can take care of ourselves."

Old Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, your mother and I are not old. You guys should take good care of yourselves outside, and also take good care of Xiaoyun and Yueyue."

After making up his mind, Li the Hunter went to Zhang's house early the next day.

"Xiaohao, is your grandfather at home?" Li the hunter walked to the door of Old Zhang's house and asked when he saw Zhang Xinghao standing at the door.

"Uncle Li, Grandpa is at home, just go in."

"That's fine."

Hunter Li walked in and came to the main room.

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Li, everyone is here! I'm here."

Grandma Zhang smiled and waved, "Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."

Li the Hunter sat down and said, "Uncle Li, my family has discussed what you said yesterday. Ah Hai, Ah He and I have decided to follow Xiao Yun and the others to the capital city. I will trouble Uncle Zhang and Aunt Li to take care of us at home."

Grandpa Zhang clapped his hands on his knees: "I knew you would agree."

Grandpa Zhang knew that Hunter Li’s family didn’t have much land, so when there was no farm work, Hunter Li and his two sons had to go hunting in the mountains to earn their daily expenses.

Then he looked at Grandma Zhang and said, "Old woman, go to the house and get nine taels of silver."

Grandma Zhang took out the silver from the house and placed it in front of Grandpa Zhang.

Grandpa Zhang handed the silver to Li the Hunter and said, "Li Da, this is the monthly allowance for the three of you for the next month. I'll give it to you first so that you can arrange your family affairs well. When you go to the capital, you don't have to worry about the shortage of silver and money at home. You can also feel more at ease when you go to the capital."

Hunter Li looked at the silver in front of him and said anxiously, "Uncle Zhang, this, this..."

Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and said, "Take the money and arrange your family's life. It will make life easier for us. We can't let you go out and make life difficult for us."

Li the Hunter heard this and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Zhang. Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I will take good care of these children in the city."

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, with you watching over us, our family is relieved. By the way, you guys should pack your bags in the next two days. Xiaoyun Yueyue and the others will be ready to leave in a few days."

"Okay, got it, Uncle Zhang. I'll go back first then."

Hunter Li returned home with the monthly salary that Grandpa Zhang had given him in advance.

When Old Li saw the silver that Hunter Li brought back, he said, "Ahai's mother, tomorrow you go to the town to buy some cloth for the three of them, and in the next two days you and your mother will make them some decent clothes.

After all, we are going to a big place like the capital, so we can’t dress too poorly.”

"Okay, Dad, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Next.

Because it takes three days to get to the provincial capital, they have to drive a horse-drawn carriage, and Zhang Xingyun and his two siblings have already learned how to do it.

No one else does.

So he specially took a day to gather Zhang Chao, Li the Hunter and his son together, and let Zhang's father teach the four of them how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, so that everyone could take turns driving on the road.

I thought that after I went to the provincial capital, I would have to wait until the decoration was completed before I would have time to go back to the village to pick up the goods.

So the three siblings packed several sets of clothes and asked Zhang's father to get a lot of oil chili peppers, crispy chili peppers, pickled chili peppers, barbecued chili powder and dried chili powder from the workshop.

When the time comes, once you buy a shop or a place to live in the city, you can cook for yourself.
