Tomorrow, after Fan Jin sends the grain into the prefectural city, we will transport it back and distribute it to everyone.

Aunt Zhang's family naturally had no objections and thanked them profusely, seeing the two off for a long distance. On the way back, Aunt Zhang's voice choked up involuntarily: "Eldest son, don't you think this is a miracle?"

She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but she had a gambling husband and her children were just barely alive. Forget about enjoying a good life, even having a full meal was a luxury.

Every day, I worry about where my next meal will come from, and I worry about tomorrow.

They diligently tended to those few acres of wasteland, never imagining that one day the chicken rice cakes scattered everywhere in the pond could be exchanged for grain.

“Mother, it’s because Uncle Fan is capable, and Sister-in-law Shuiqing is grateful!” Zhang Xiaocao pulled her mother back to her senses and emphasized.

Aunt Zhang came to her senses and muttered, "Yes, yes, if it weren't for the second son of the Fan family knowing a rich man's son, and if it weren't for your sister-in-law Shuiqing thinking of our family, such a good thing wouldn't have come to our family!"

In the past, even your Aunt Fan always said that the youngest son of the Fan family was good-for-nothing, couldn't study, and wasted money. But today it seems that being literate has its advantages; even the jobs he's found are things we never dared to dream of before.”

Jin Niu chuckled and said, "That's right, Uncle Fan is obviously different from us. People who study are quick-witted, which is much more comfortable than eating farm food."

Tie Niu whispered, "Why do I feel like Sister Shui Qing is different too?"

"What's the difference? She's still the same. You've only met Sister-in-law Shuiqing a few times, how can you tell the difference?" Yin Niu joked casually.

“I also feel that she’s different from before. She’s still the same person, but she seems to have changed. Uh, she’s become more beautiful. You can trust her at a glance.” Mu Niu didn’t know how to express it, so she frowned and tried hard to think of the right words.

Aunt Zhang found the reason and said cheerfully, "Hey, what do you know? This is because the family has separated, and they're standing tall now, so of course they look much better at first glance."

They are also capable of taking charge, their word is their bond, and their actions inspire trust.

The six children listened, feeling that it wasn't quite what their mother had said, yet it also seemed to be what their mother had described.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and pick the chicken rice cakes. We need to deliver them to your Uncle Fan's house before dark today. We can't afford to lose such a good job."

"When it's all over and we've earned a lot of grain, Mom will make you all some dark-colored vegetable pancakes!" Aunt Zhang waved her hand and said with a beaming smile.

Producing hundreds of pounds of dark flour a day, it's probably okay to give the children a dry meal occasionally...

Upon hearing that there would be dry cakes to eat, not only the smaller wooden ox and iron ox cheered and jumped for joy, but even the largest golden ox couldn't help but look forward to it.

Ever since my father became addicted to gambling, the family has lost all its money and land. How long has it been since he ate anything dry?

While other families look forward to eating meat and eggs during holidays, this family just wants a full meal, to go from two meals of thin gruel a day to one meal with solid food...

After leaving Aunt Zhang's house, Shuiqing and Fanjin went to the village chief's house, then Aunt Li's house, and then visited all the families who had helped her that morning. They decided not to go anywhere else that day.

There's no need to go any further.

Because after the rice is distributed tomorrow, other families will proactively send over water chestnuts to ask if they want them.

The other families also agreed on delivery times, precautions, and the amount and timing of the grain distribution. Like Aunt Zhang, everyone was initially shocked, thinking they had misheard, but then they were overjoyed and asked again and again if they had heard correctly.

Once I've confirmed I heard correctly, I guarantee we can start today and deliver a batch before dark tonight!
