The stun gun is very convenient to use.

Turn on the switch, and it can stun a cow in three seconds. It can also emit a strong light that causes temporary blindness, without damaging eyesight but rendering enemies unable to move.

Shuiqing is very satisfied with the results.

Fan Jin's dark, moist eyes were full of curiosity. His slender fingers repeatedly stroked the stun gun, unable to imagine that a stick could be so magical.

Shui Qing took out more than twenty gold leaves, and put the rest, along with the wooden box, into the storage box.

The loose silver coins from before were also thrown in.

It must be said that although the storage box was not large, it was extremely large for storing gold bars and silver ingots!

If you fill it up, it will probably take several lifetimes to spend all the money.

After taking stock of their belongings, buying weapons for self-defense, and calculating their balance and savings, the two felt a strong sense of security.

When they came out, the water that Fan Jin had fetched earlier had gone cold, but Shui Qing didn't care. After washing up, one of them made breakfast, while the other took Fan He, packed some steamed buns, and drove the oxcart to the prefectural city to deliver rice wine.

Other restaurants are engaging in price wars and lowering prices, so they can only reduce their sales volume.

I'm not bringing much today, and we have guests at home, so I'll try to go and come back early.

The new house and kitchen are also huge, and three stove holes have been built in them.

With so many people around, Shuiqing first scooped water and cooked a pot of red date and millet porridge, which was fragrant, sweet, nourishing, and delicious.

The pan in the middle is used to make egg pancakes;

The outermost large iron pot is responsible for boiling water—it's nice to wash your face with warm water when it's cold.

After making about twenty egg pancakes, the red date and millet porridge was also ready.

Shuiqing then added three small dishes of the spicy dried radish, salty pickled mustard greens, and crisp pickled mustard tuber hearts that her mother had made when she came before, as side dishes for her porridge.

Li Huyu slept until she woke up naturally.

She didn't have to get up early to stand in the proper order for her mother-in-law, nor did she have to serve her mother-in-law her washing up and breakfast. She felt that yesterday's running around and getting tired was nothing, and she felt completely relaxed at this moment!

Shui Qing was sitting on a small stool picking vegetables when she saw Li Huyu. She smiled and said, "The children all have their own things to do. They'll eat first and then go back to work."

There's hot water in the pot for washing up, and I've left your breakfast warm in the pot too. Would you like me to bring it to you?

"No need, I can do it myself!" Li Huyu walked briskly towards the kitchen.

When I entered the kitchen, I found hot water waiting for me, breakfast being heated in a pot, and various side dishes left on the table. I felt a comfort I had never experienced before.

How many years has it been since I've had such a comfortable and carefree day?

It's likely that she's never experienced anything like this since she got married.

A moment later, Bai Manshan came running out, rubbing his hands together and stomping his feet as he muttered, "So cold, so cold, so cold."

Seeing the clear water used for picking vegetables, she asked in confusion, "Aren't you cold?"

He felt extremely cold on his exposed skin as soon as he stepped out of the house!

"It's not cold, I feel fine," Shui Qing replied naturally.

She grew up in the countryside of the Jiangnan region. The cold in Jiangnan was like a magical attack; no matter how thickly you wore, the cold wind could still chill you to the bone.

I lived in the north for a period of time during my studies, where temperatures often dropped to minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius, and heavy snow fell everywhere.

The coldness of Shanshui Village nowadays is nothing compared to either of those two; it's child's play.

However, for Bai Manshan, a native of the South, the current cold is already an unbearable burden.

A look of admiration immediately flashed in Bai Manshan's round, bulging eyes.

Upon closer inspection, he saw more than a dozen round, yellow spheres on the ground and asked curiously, "What are these?"
