C5 (2/2)
Xu Hui had no choice but to give up the variety of food recipes in her mind. It was impossible for a transcender to become rich by selling recipes. The mountains were rich in resources, but the war had sealed off the mountains, and the idea of using their knowledge to discover new species had been shattered.
Xu Hui looked dejectedly at her slender fingers. Not only did the original owner, Xu Qiaohui, know how to dance and make ink, but she had also learned an exquisite knitting and weaving skill from her uncle's house. Xu Hui had inherited all of them, but this was of no use right now, because it was said that there were no loom here!
Who told it to be a backwater, with no place to buy anything but the regular market in the mountain trenches? It's so hard to make money!
Earning money could only be done by the side. The only thing that made Xu Hui feel a little more relaxed was that after being treated by Doctor Du, Xu Jingan's body had recovered a little, and was no longer drowsy. He could even drink porridge after sitting up.
The recovery of Xu Jingan's body was the decisive factor for the restless Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu, who were controlled by Xu Hui.
The kang and stove were quickly finished. Zhou's even spent the remaining money to buy bedding, pots, pans, etc. He also found people to make some simple furniture like tables, chairs, cabinets. It was said that the rice flour was the most expensive here, and the coarse grains such as the sorghum flour and the bran noodles were extremely cheap. The Zhou's had exchanged most of the rice for coarse grains, so it was possible to make ends meet for the rest of the month.
Xu Hui also wanted to change it, but her family only earned a ton of rice every month. Xu Jingan and Xu Rui still had to eat some grains, so they could only give up on this idea.
After cleaning up the house, Xu Hui and the rest moved back to their own houses. Xu Jingyao had already gone to the Hundred Clubs to report, as the main force, they had to train in the military camp every day. Fortunately, the rest of the troops only needed to report at the end of the month, otherwise, with Xu Jingan's current situation, it would really be troublesome.
After cleaning up the house, they came over to Xu Hui's home to help. Xu Jingyao's mother, Ann's, was also very concerned about Xu Jingan's situation and came over with his grandchildren.
Ann's was talking to Xu Jingan inside the house. When Zhou's walked out, he saw Yu Huan holding something in her hands and was gesturing in the yard with it. He hurriedly asked, ”Qiao Jieer, what are you doing?”
”Second Aunt, this is a hoe that I borrowed from Aunt Zhang's house. I want to open up this piece of land. Aunt Zhang said that she can grow some spinach, so I think it's still a good meal.”
Zhou's could not help but sigh. The pampered girls had actually gotten used to the days here so quickly, they had never thought of themselves as Miss Jiao before.
However, he had been exiled to begin with. He no longer had any face anymore and could only starve to death while carrying it.
The Zhou's laughed and said, ”Qiao Jieer, you leave some seeds for me too, I will plant some too!” Her family had an old man and two half-grown kids. As an elder, she should have done a better job.
The Zhou's could not help but ask Xu Hui. Xu Hui sighed helplessly and said, ”I just got up early and said that they would grow vegetables, and they already ran off and disappeared. I don't know where they went to sleep now, but if it wasn't for my father being sick, and he was angry, I would have beat them up with my hoe.”
”Girl, how could you hit a mouse and injure a jade bottle, arguing with them and hurting your own reputation? You're not small anymore, if not, aiya!” The Chang Clan really have no conscience! ” Zhou's could not help but sigh as he thought about the marriage of Xu Hui which had to be annulled due to an accident at home. If not for this incident, Qiao Jieer would have been married off next year!
”I don't want to think about this right now, I just want to live a good life. Once Father's body is better, I can think of a way with Second Uncle to get rid of this Military, and in the future, Brother Yu-er will not have to be the Military anymore, and that will be thankful!”
This was also what the Zhou's had been hoping for, so he didn't bring up the Chang Clan anymore. He called Brother Yu'er to help Xu Hui pour water on the ground, the ground was dry and hard, wouldn't it stir if he didn't soak it in water?
”Big Sis, I, I want to help too!” Xu Rui's timid voice sounded from beside Xu Hui. Looking at this younger brother, who was completely different from the Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu, who had a kind disposition, Xu Hui smiled and rubbed Xu Rui's head, ”Ruigol is still young. You taking care of Father would be helping Big Sis!”
”Oh, I will definitely take good care of father!” Xu Rui answered seriously as if he had received an important mission. Xu Hui could not help but laugh.
Zhou's also laughed, with his big brother, Qiao Jieer and Ruigol, these two sensible children, there was still hope!
Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu who were dodging work outside, originally wanted to ask all over to find out about the Xu Family's Third Son's Family, but after a while, everyone got busy, some of them just went in to ask and said that they didn't know, Xu Qiaozhu's face was gloomy, these ignorant villagers really hated them!
Xu Qiaozhu pulled on the grass angrily. She did not have any good feelings towards this poor and dirty place. Feng's disease shook his body, and his stomach growled as he starved.
The two who had nothing to do could only walk home and accidentally saw a fat woman dressed in colorful clothes with red flowers on his head being pushed out of the door ruthlessly by a family, falling flat on the ground and rolling on his back!
Xu Qiaozhu couldn't help but giggle and laugh. She walked up with Feng's disease to watch the show, only to see the fallen fat woman groan a few times, rubbed his waist and sat on the ground, fiercely spitting towards the side, scolding: ”Scoundrel, why don't you take a look at your yellow haired girl and you still dare open your mouth to ask for twenty silver taels of betrothal gift?! If it wasn't for the Xiao family rushing to get married, would my mother have joined your family? ”
