Hearing Shen Qingyu say this, Liu Cuixi reluctantly accepted it.

This half-foot of fine cotton cloth can be used to make a pair of shoe uppers!

Half a pound of cotton can make a quilt much warmer.

After seeing Liu Cuixi off, Shen Qingyu took out a bag of peanut brittle she had bought in the prefectural city and handed it to the three little ones who had calmed down in the main room.

The three children were pleasantly surprised to see peanut brittle they had never seen before.

"Mother, did you buy this from the prefectural city?" Da Bao had already heard from her father that her mother had gone to the prefectural city.

Shen Qingyu nodded: "I was in such a rush that I only bought this. You guys eat first, I'll go cook."

Xiao Yunqi offered, "I'll assist you."

The three children wanted to go with them, but Wen Che stopped them: "You sit here and eat candy. You can't take the food and run around."

With the child around, how can the couple have a heart-to-heart talk?

I wonder when my cousin will be able to win his wife back...

The Crown Prince was extremely worried about not being favored by his cousin-in-law.

"Okay." The three little ones obediently sat down and ate their candy.

It's getting late, so let's keep things simple.

Shen Qingyu boiled water while kneading dough to prepare noodles.

Xiao Yunqi helped start the fire.

Before Xiao Yunqi could say anything, Shen Qingyu spoke up, "I was wrong today. I went to the prefectural city without telling you in advance. Next time I will let you know in advance."

She actually admitted her mistake?

Xiao Yunqi was taken aback and looked at Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu was kneading the dough quickly, without even looking up: "Thank you for coming to town to find me today. If it weren't for you, I might have been scared when I went back to the village."

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Xiao Yunqi asked in surprise.

Shen Qingyu nodded: "Mm."

"Then why did you go to the mountains to look for me before?"

Shen Qingyu frankly stated, "I'm more afraid of hearing children cry than of the dark."

Back then, her parents ran a late-night food business and often didn't return until almost dawn, leaving young Shen Qingyu alone at home to sleep.

When the little one wakes up in the middle of the night, he is so scared that he cries loudly at home. The grumpy old man next door will yell at him and sometimes even come and bang on the door.

The next day, the parents would be blocked at the door and scolded by the grumpy old man.

To calm the irritable old man down, Shen Qingyu often gets scolded or even beaten...

Although her parents' business grew bigger and bigger and they moved into a detached villa, Shen Qingyu was left with psychological trauma.

I'm afraid of being alone in the dark.

My head aches whenever I hear my child cry.

Of course, this couldn't be told to Xiao Yunqi.

"..." Xiao Yunqi fell silent again.

Are you sure you want to grow bean sprouts to sell?

"Yes. We've already bought the wooden barrels, so we're definitely going to sell them."

“Then you sprout the bean sprouts, and I’ll go sell them. You just need to stay home and sprout the bean sprouts.” Xiao Yunqi offered to take on the task.

Shen Qingyu looked at Xiao Yunqi in surprise: "You're going to sell them?"

"Don't worry, weigh the bean sprouts first, calculate the cost, and I guarantee that not a penny will be wrong when I get back."

Considering that the three children were still young and the family did need someone to take care of them, Shen Qingyu nodded: "Okay."

Once the noodles were cooked, Shen Qingyu took the minced meat used for selling glutinous rice directly from the wooden bucket (space warehouse) where the glutinous rice was sold, mixed it with noodles for the children, blanched some wild vegetables in boiling water, mixed them with vinegar and meat broth, and then served them out.

The children were really hungry. Xiao Yunqi's lunch hadn't been very good, so they hadn't eaten much. But now they were devouring the food.

Xiao Yunqi took the noodles to Cheng Ping.

Because Shen Qingyu came home late today, the children were frightened and all wanted to sleep with her.

Shen Qingyu didn't refuse. Anyway, it had been turned into a large dormitory-style bed, and everyone had sleeping bags, so there was plenty of room to sleep, and she wasn't worried about catching a cold.

After putting the children to sleep, Shen Qingyu entered the space.

The space upgrade is complete; the warehouse has become larger, and so has the valley.

What used to look like only ten or so acres of land has now grown to twenty or so acres.

What surprised Shen Qingyu the most was that a shopping mall appeared in the space!

Everything in the shop was something Shen Qingyu had come into contact with in this world.

Various grains: millet, rice, wheat, soybeans, mung beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes...

Various poultry and livestock: pigs, cattle, donkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits...

Various fruits and vegetables: Chinese cabbage, pumpkin, wild vegetables...

There were medicinal herbs, but not many varieties; only bone-strengthening herbs and the cold medicine and medicine for treating internal injuries that I had bought before…

There was also cotton, cloth, sugar...

The prices weren't high; white flour was ten coins per pound, and mixed grain flour was five coins per pound... similar to the market price before the price increase.

Hey!

What a pleasant surprise!

Shen Qingyu was overjoyed. She first planted soybeans all over the open space, and then took stock of and organized the warehouse!

After the warehouse was enlarged, there was much more space available.

Aside from the initial 21st-century products, there were various kinds of grains.

After finishing tidying up, it was almost midnight. Shen Qingyu used the spiritual spring in her space to wash up again and weighed herself.

Hey, I've lost weight again, I only weigh 140 pounds now...

Happy!

sleep!

The next morning after breakfast, the first thing Shen Qingyu did was to go find Liu Cuixi.

The village head and Liu Cuixi were quite surprised: it was really rare for Shen Qingyu to take the initiative to come to their door!

Shen Qingyu handed over three catties of mixed grain flour: "I've come to thank Uncle Village Head! I'm usually competitive and argumentative with the villagers, but yesterday Uncle Village Head gathered the whole village to find me. I'm extremely grateful for that."

The village head, who was also the patriarch of the Shen family, was very pleased to see Shen Qingyu's sincere expression: "Since Yunqi returned, you've been getting better and better..."

Shen Qingyu: "...Yes, yes."

Shen Qingyu explained why she went to the prefectural city yesterday, and then looked sincerely at the village head: "You see, I have to make glutinous rice and sprout bean sprouts, and I also have three children at home. I'm really too busy. I'd like to ask Cuixi to help me with some chores at home..."
