When Jiang Baige came over, the two brothers had already left.

Shen Hengrui wanted to take his younger brother out for a walk and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, so that his younger brother wouldn’t be unable to find his way home after he went out to do something.

When Jiang Baige entered the house, she saw that no one was at home, so she quickly took out the things in the space.

She took out the bed and furniture and placed them in the room, and also put the wardrobe and other things against the wall. She wasn't paying attention and the clothes inside fell to the floor.

She picked up the clothes, which were for adults, and there were also some women's clothes. After looking at them, she felt that they were useless for children, so she simply put them in the space and took them out to give to others someday.

There are also Goudan's father's clothes here. She thought that if the two children knew where they came from, they would definitely be sad.

She went downstairs again, took out the firewood and coal, and put them in an empty room. Although the coal was a little black, she didn't care. She would redecorate the house anyway, so she didn't mind if it got dirty.

She exchanged the grain collected from the Li family for some ready-made rice and flour. The children had no place to grind the rice and corn, and they had to spend money to shell them, which was money a child wouldn't have.

Several jars of pickles were taken out for them. Going out to dig wild vegetables would require going out of the city, and it would take half a day to get back. With these pickles, they could make do when there was no other vegetables.

But she wanted to keep the two chickens and the nest of eggs for herself.

The local eggs are nutritious, so she keeps them for laying eggs. If the nest of eggs can hatch chicks, she will build a place to raise chickens in the space.

Chickens need food. Two chickens will eat as much food as one person in a day. It is better not to raise children.

Thinking of the two chickens, Jiang Baige hurried into the space. They hadn't been fed for half a day, so they must not starve to death.

When she brought the two chickens in, she threw them into the warehouse. When she came in, there was no sign of the chickens. However, the chicken coop was still there, and the eggs inside were still warm. It seemed that she had left not long ago.

I saw chicken poop on the ground and followed the traces.

In the corner of the warehouse, two chickens made a mess. I don’t know how they did it, but there was a hole in the grain bag and rice was all over the ground. The two chickens were eating the rice on the ground.

Seeing someone coming, the rooster was suddenly frightened and started clucking.

It flapped its wings twice, as if to protect the hen.

Jiang Baige took two steps back and muttered, "It seems I thought it was too simple. I thought I could just keep the chickens in the space. But what should I do with all the chicken droppings on the ground? It will stink to death after a while."

After thinking about it, Jiang Baige gave up the idea of ​​raising chickens. She had to hand over the two chickens to her mother.

There was a sweeping machine in the garbage room. Jiang Baige pushed it over and cleaned the floor before leaving the space.

It was past four o'clock and the two children should be coming back soon. Jiang Baige wanted to explain everything to them before leaving, otherwise the two children would definitely be shocked when they came back with so many things.

After waiting for a while, the two brothers came back, and Shen Hengrui was holding a bag of green wild vegetables.

Shen Hengrui held his brother's hand tightly and did not let go for a moment on the street.

After entering the door, Goudan saw his sister at the door and said happily: "Sister, you are here."

Jiang Baige asked, "Where did you two go? It's very cold outside. Don't get sick if you go out in the cold wind."

Shen Hengrui closed the door and spoke only after he approached.

"We are dressed warmly, so we are not afraid of the cold."

Seeing that they were wearing quite thick clothes, Jiang Baige nodded and said, "That's fine! Wear something thicker when you go out, and don't run around in the city. What if you get lost?"

Shen Hengrui nodded, “We understand.”

Seeing their little faces were red from the cold, Jiang Baige said, "Come into the house quickly and boil some hot water to soak your hands."

As he walked into the house, he said, "I brought some things for you. There are a few quilts on the bed. You can spread them out later. It will be warmer in winter."

Shen Hengrui thought he had made the bed, so he nodded, “Okay.”

Jiang Baige also reminded them not to bring the fire outside and to be careful.

The child seemed to be fine, so Jiang Baige went home.

A few days later, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Baige took her mother to the supply and marketing cooperative.

For the Chinese New Year, they wanted to buy each of them a new set of clothes so that they could have a good year. The money spent on clothes made Jiang's mother feel painful.

Jiang Baige also prepared some New Year's goods and sent them back a few days before the New Year.

One day before the Chinese New Year, Chen Yuan came to see Jiang Baige. He came to collect the payment for the delivery.

He earned more than 10,000 yuan these days. He gave 8,000 yuan to Jiang Baige, leaving him with more than 5,000 yuan. He gave one share to a few brothers, leaving him with more than 3,000 yuan.

In less than a month, he had earned more than 3,000 yuan, which was a huge profit. If he continued to do this business, he would have endless money to spend in the future.

When Chen Yuan came to the Jiang family, he did not do so on the Jiang family's behalf.

The Jiang family also knew that the two of them were talking about something, but they didn't know what it was, so they didn't ask or disturb them.

After Chen Yuan gave the money to Jiang Baige, he said that he needed another batch of goods after the New Year, and Jiang Baige agreed to all of this.

He was about to leave when Jiang Baige called him again.

"Brother Shen, wait a minute. It's the New Year, and I'll give you some New Year gifts."

Shen Yuan didn't expect that he would have a New Year gift, and looked forward to it.

"Sister, is there anything I haven't seen?"

Of course, Jiang Baige still had many things that she hadn't shown Chen Yuan, so she just asked him to wait and went upstairs.

The gifts included some fresh fruits and dried fruits. Dried fruits are essential items for Chinese New Year gifts in later generations. The fruits are some common fruits, such as apples, pears, and oranges. Although they are common, they are definitely not available in the city at that time.

She also took four boxes of tea, authentic West Lake Longjing.

The Jiang family also drinks this, but her mother doesn't know how to make it, so she just boils water and ruins the good tea.

Jiang Baige thought of Chen Yuan's mother and took out two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, cordyceps, and red ginseng supplements.

It is not easy to get donkey-hide gelatin at this time, and many people may not have seen it, but she believes that in a family like Shen Yuan's, his mother must have seen a lot of good things, but she doesn't know whether she has it or not.

After taking a large bag downstairs, Chen Yuan asked, "Sister, what are these? There are so many."

Jiang Baige handed it to him and said, "It's New Year's Day. This is a gift for you and Auntie."

Chen Yuan took it, lifted it, and felt it was quite heavy.

He smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome. I'll accept your kindness."

"Okay, I'll go back first. I have something to do at home."

The two were about to go downstairs when Jiang's mother came up.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Shen! Why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie! No need. I'll come visit you again after the New Year."

Mother Jiang nodded: "Okay, then Auntie will cook you something delicious."

After Chen Yuan left, Jiang Baige gave Jiang's mother five hundred yuan.

This money will be used for New Year expenses, as she has several close relatives to visit.
