C28 (1/2)
Although he wasn't affected for the time being, since it was a war, his life was still a bit different.
Xu Hui heard from Wang Daniu who brought firewood over every day that her father would not be able to chop firewood at the foot of the mountain during the battle. Thus, her father would take time to get a cart full of firewood for Xu Hui to pull over, but she would still bring water every day. If Xu Hui needed anything, she could get her father to bring it over from the town. Xu Hui hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Wang Daniu's father to think of a way to pass it on to the Xu family.
Wang Daniu was not afraid of war and was rather happy. But because of war, it seemed like her family was going to earn a small fortune.
Because of the war, everyone was worried about the food storage and started to stock up food and vegetables, so Wang Daniu's family's Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce s' sales were actually better than before. A jar of Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce s was worth eight coins per day, and it was not enough to sell all of them.
Xu Hui could not help but want to laugh. She was afraid of how much she thought, but Wang Daniu's family was afraid of nothing!
Seeing Wang Daniu specially bring over the mooncakes that she bought from a snack shop in town, Xu Hui remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was in two days, but why didn't the Xiao Family prepare for it?
Xu Hui did not know that the Xiao Li's disease was so annoyed that she did not care about the holiday.
From the start of the battle, there were news of the battle every day. The Xiao Li's disease heard from others that the vanguard camp was actually here to attack them from the Black Python Mountain. One must know that the Black Python Mountain is a place where even ghosts worry, other than a few herb pickers, no one else dared to enter the mountain. It is said that not only are there cliffs and cliffs, there are also jackals, tigers and leopards, and quite a few people have died!
Xiao Li's disease had also heard that quite a few people had died in vanguard camp this time around, so he didn't know if Xiao Dayong was still alive. If Xiao Da Yong was really dead, then his family would have a man holding the Military position. But he had spent so much money to marry his daughter-in-law, and now that he had been married for over a month, there was no news of his at all.
If she had known earlier, she would not have spent so many betrothal gifts. After marrying such a decorations, this brat would not be born and would have to stay in the Xiao family to raise her. However, she was still worried about what would happen if there was a letter from Uncle Xu Hui that could help Xiao Hu. Furthermore, Xu Hui had never asked for anything from her before. However, she could not help but turn her anger towards He's, who had single-handedly facilitated the marriage. She did not like He's at all, and was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
He's was not someone who would always lower her head. After being toiled by Xiao Li's disease for a few days, she started to wail and pester Xiao Hu, causing him to become extremely annoyed. She ran over to the old lady to complain and tell her to stop tormenting He's. When Xiao Li's disease saw that his wife was actually so unconvinced and had openly promised Xiao Hu, he privately thought of all sorts of ways to subdue her. The two of them were busy fighting back and forth, who cares if there were any conflicts!
Others might not be able to pass the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Xu Hui did not care. She had to pass it, of course. This was her first holiday here, and it was also a good one. Of course, she had to live it well.
Xu Hui had tasted the mooncake that Wang Daniu had given him before. Compared to the excessively exquisite moon-cake of modern times, it didn't look too good on the outside, but the stuffing was very filling. It was sweet, not greasy, and extremely tasty.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Hui braised a bowl of rice, made a bowl of Red Braised Meat, a plate of white cabbage with vinegar, and even steamed a bowl of egg soup.
This was Xu Hui's first time eating rice. Although it was stewed rice mixed with sorghum and rice, it was still delicious along with the braised pork and white cabbage. The young and the old man shared a bowl of rice and ate half of the braised pork and vinegar. After eating a few spoonfuls of egg soup, they were unable to eat anymore.
Xu Hui was just about to lie down on the brick bed and stretch for a while before tidying up again, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside. She immediately sat up and quickly put the Red Braised Meat into the cupboard and locked it, even wiping off the oil on Niuniu's face.
After a moment, He's appeared at the door with Xiao Xuewu.
Once he entered, He's lifted his nose and sniffed around, Xiao Xuewu stretched his neck out and looked around as well.
Xu Hui rolled her eyes and got off the brick bed. ”Auntie, you're here. Come, sit on the brick bed!”
He's sat on the brick bed and stared at the bowl and chopsticks on the table. He asked Xu Hui, ”Dazong's daughter-in-law, why do I smell meat in your room?”
Xu Hui laughed: ”Third Aunt's nose is really sharp, Niuniu is hungry for meat, I just fried some oil for her to eat.”
”Oil dregs?” He's looked at Xiao Xuewu, and Xiao Xuewu said loudly: ”I clearly saw you cutting meat, how could such a big piece of meat!”
”Dazong's daughter-in-law, how can you hide from your family if you don't pay a single cent for your clothes, and your family members can't even touch an oily star?” The He's stared at Xu Hui, and Xu Hui could not help but clench her teeth. This bunch of blood-sucking worms had actually set their sights on the money they spent to sell their clothes!
Xu Hui smiled and said, ”Third Aunt, this joke is just a joke. I had to weave for a month to get a single piece of coarse cloth, but it sold for a few hundred dollars. It was just enough for me and Niuniu to chew, where would I get a spicy one?”
