Chapter 315 Return to the Village
On a quiet night, the sky is dotted with stars.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard to help prepare ingredients for the next day.
Although there are people at home who can do these chores, with their participation, the old woman and the servants can finish their work earlier and go to rest.
There were no electronic products to entertain me at that time, and I couldn’t fall asleep even after dinner.
Luo Hong took a few people to the room to review the exams of the past few days.
Lin Weizhong, Liu Caixia and others helped to prepare the skewers for the next day.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very happy and harmonious.
At dawn the next day, everyone woke up naturally early due to the influence of their biological clocks.
Get dressed, wash up and start a busy new day.
"Xiao Lu, don't sleep in. We have to go back to the village to visit grandpa today."
Yesterday, Wan Zhang said he wanted to go back to the village. Liu Caixia then remembered that they had agreed with Liu's father that after Luo Hong and others finished their exams, they would come back to the village for a gathering.
So, they agreed to go back to the village this morning. As a man, Lin Weizhong took the initiative to stay and look after the new shop. The new shop just opened yesterday, and he was really worried if no one was looking after it.
But Liu Caixia told him yesterday that she would tell Liu's father about their plans when she returned. Letting everyone in the family know about their plans was not only a supervision of them, but also a test.
"Here they are." Liu Xiaolu hurried out of the house. The people outside were already ready. The mule cart had already delivered the ingredients for the skewers shop to sell today and was parked at the door. It would first send them back to the village and then go out to the nearby villages to collect tomorrow's ingredients.
Yesterday was a busy day as the new store opened. Liu Caixia didn’t even think about going back to the village, so she didn’t prepare anything.
I was in a hurry to urge Liu Xiaolu to leave, and I was also thinking of buying some things on the way out of the city. Everyone in the city has made new clothes, and I can't favor one over the other, so I went to the cloth pile to buy some cotton and silk.
Summer is coming soon. Silk can be used to make some skirts, which can be worn in the evening to cool off, or made into pajamas to wear when sleeping at night. Although the summer here is not as hot as it is now, it is definitely very hot, and there is no air conditioning or fan. We can only make up for it in other ways.
Since she was going to buy things, Liu Caixia did not skimp. In addition to cloth, she also bought a lot of cakes. Although the cakes at that time were not as varied as those in modern times, they still tasted good. Mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, leaf cakes, and green balls were all delicious. Yes, Qingming Festival had just passed, and they had no relatives to visit at the grave, so they didn't pay much attention to these activities.
I bought a lot of things, big and small, and luckily there was enough space in the mule cart.
Everything Liu Caixia bought was practical. There was no need to spend money on jewelry for the time being. One does not know how expensive food and fuel are until one manages the household.
The money she has now is all planned out. When she doesn't have to worry about spending money one day, she won't be stingy.
I will definitely give my family the best life.
Even so, it still cost more than ten taels. Alas, money really doesn't last long.
"Let's go, out of town. If I keep buying, I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt." Liu Caixia joked with Liu Xiaolu and watched Liu Xiaolu go to a grocery store.
"Mom, let's go shopping here, what if there is something new?"
"You just like going to these messy stores."
In modern times, Liu Xiaolu likes to go to grocery stores, some chain stores that have everything.
"Then let's take a look."
There really was everything in there, but they had visited many such grocery stores along the way, so Liu Caixia didn't think it was anything special, so she asked the waiter directly, "Brother Xiaoer, do we have any new and exotic seeds in our store?"
"Ma'am, do you mean the new exotic seeds from foreign lands?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Ma'am, please come and have a look at the beginning of next month. Our boss has a ship going out. It is estimated that he will be back at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. By then, he may bring back some new things from the east or south. Seeds are also possible."
Liu Caixia didn't think much of it. After all, transportation was not well developed at that time, so there were not so many novelties. She nodded, weighed some mountain products, thanked him, and left. "Thank you."
"Madam, walk slowly!"
When the mule cart returned to the village, many people were sitting at the entrance chatting. When they saw Liu Hao driving the mule cart, some of them ran back home, saying as they ran: "Hao boy, wait for us today. We have just harvested two baskets of fresh vegetables and will send them to you later."
Liu Hao has been harvesting vegetables in the village for a long time. The villagers are very simple and honest, and not every household can sell their vegetables every day.
You also need to eat at home.
So, every time, they would buy vegetables from whoever had the vegetables. Liu Hao would wait at the entrance of the village at about the same time every morning.
Today, because he came back from the city a little late, the aunts and sisters were sitting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village waiting for him. Now that they saw him, they immediately ran home and went to the fields to harvest the vegetables immediately. If they hadn't sold them today, they wouldn't have picked them and left them to wilt at home.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Let's go home first and come back to collect it later."
"Zhang Ge'er is back too. How did you do in the exam this year?" The village chief came over at this time. Seeing Wan Zhang coming back with him, he took the initiative to ask. He was too embarrassed to ask Luo Hong and others because Wan Zhang was considered a junior in their clan. It was okay for him to ask.
"Uncle San, there won't be any problems this year. I came back today to tell my wife and pick up some things. Uncle Luo asked me to go to the city with him to review my lessons and prepare for the exams, and wait for the results to be announced."
"You kid, you have to remember my kindness since you have troubled me like this."
"Uncle San knows."
After hearing these words, Luo Hong had to come out to greet them, "Village Chief, why are you so polite? We also want to thank Zhang Ge'er. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't understand many things. With his help, we have avoided a lot of trouble. Friends should help each other and don't care so much."
"Yes, yes, I am out of touch. Okay, I won't keep you any longer, go back quickly. Renyi must be thinking about you at home!"
"Okay, then, village chief, let's talk about it when the sky changes!"
Liu Hao hurriedly drove towards the bamboo forest. Wan Zhang had already gotten out of the car and was also walking towards his home.
After Luo Hong and Liu's father came to the village, they did bring a lot of benefits to the village.
Although their lives are not easy at the moment, compared to some poor and backward villages here, there are often people who starve to death or freeze to death due to lack of food and clothing.
They all have some basic skills. Since they have come to this village, if they can help the village, they can also integrate into the village and the environment more quickly. If they can help, they will help. It won't have much impact.
