With Space in the 70s, Emptying the House to Go Down to the Countryside

Li Xiyue, carrying her space and spiritual pet, transmigrated from the apocalypse to the 1970s. Her birth mother died early, and her father, after marrying a stepmother, became a changed man. Her m...

Chapter 45 An Naijin and Jing Wanhong (2/2)

Little White no longer has to be a vicious dog; it obediently lies down at her feet and falls fast asleep.

Xu Dashan drove the oxcart to Uncle Xu Liu's house and helped carry the medicine and equipment inside before going home.

After Xu Guoqing and I sorted and put away the medicines, it was time to finish work, so Li Xiyue took Xiaobai back to the educated youth settlement.

As soon as I returned to the educated youth settlement, the sky was overcast, as if it was about to rain again.

Wang Jiaxing borrowed a ladder from somewhere and was repairing the roof.

The house started leaking a bit when it rained last time, and with the spring rains just around the corner, it's impossible to live in the house if the roof isn't repaired.

Huang Xinrui is cooking. Today, Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui are cooking. She took out half of the meat she bought in town for dinner.

The remaining half was kept in the space, and I cooked it myself.

It's not that I'm unwilling to give it to Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui, it's just that with Zhao Guohua around, I don't want him to eat it.

While sitting down in front of the stove to light the fire, he talked to Huang Xinrui about his trip to town that day.

Wang Jiaxing finished repairing the roof and came in to help.

He's a nice guy with a good personality. He's not petty and easy to get along with. He's been cooperating quite well with Zhao Guohua lately.

Of course, he did most of the work. Zhao Guohua was naive and rich. When he didn't want to work, he would give Zhao Guohua a penny or two, and Zhao Guohua would happily do all the work.

She knew that Wang Jiaxing had secretly received a lot of money from Zhao Guohua, but she didn't say anything. Wang Jiaxing was a good person, and she was happy to let him make some money privately.

I heard that Zhao Guohua was in the same situation over at the cowshed. Zhao Xiaoli was penniless, so he gave her some money, and she was happy to work for him.

He brought some medicine for sprains and bruises from home and has been applying it to his body for the past few days. His injuries have almost healed, and it looks like the person who was half dead has come back to life.

He's so good at handling things and so generous. If it were anyone else, they'd be injured and still have to do heavy work, and they wouldn't be able to recover for at least a month.

"Wang Zhiqing, please boil more water for me. I need to wash my hair and take a bath."

Li Xiyue was lost in thought when Zhao Guohua returned. The cowshed was at the west end of the village, far from the educated youth settlement. He had been caught in the rain and was soaked to the bone when he came back.

Wang Jiaxing readily agreed, "The water's ready, go wash it first."

Usually, when cooking, you can also boil water on all three stoves at the same time, so you can take a shower and go to sleep after eating.

Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui didn't say anything; they didn't want to eat with someone who smelled so bad that it would ruin their appetite.

After the food was served, Zhao Guohua, who had washed up and changed into clean clothes, sat down at the table feeling refreshed. Seeing that there was meat, he picked up his chopsticks to take some.

Huang Xinrui tapped the back of his hand with her chopsticks. "The meat was bought by Yueyue. You didn't pay for it, so you can't eat it."

"How much?" Zhao Guohua pulled out two cents from his pocket. "Is that enough?"

Li Xiyue wasn't short of money, but she wouldn't turn down money either. She took the money and then ignored him.

Anyway, with only two ounces of meat for four people, each person would only eat a few pieces, so it's as if Zhao Guohua paid for the meat.

Zhao Guohua, of course, hadn't had enough to eat, and said to Wang Jiaxing, "Wang, try to get some more meat tomorrow." When Wang Jiaxing looked over, he put on a foolish look, as if he didn't need the money, and said, "I'll pay for it."

Wang Jiaxing laughed, "No problem. It's stupid not to make money when you can."

Heaven has truly been kind to him, sending him a God of Wealth. With this fool around, he gets money every day, and his life is becoming more and more hopeful.

Li Xiyue glanced at the landlord's foolish son. She had robbed the house of its contents, yet he was still spending money so extravagantly. What would he do once he had spent all the money he had?

Huang Xinrui tidied the table, while Li Xiyue carried a bucket to the well to fetch water.

Zhao Guohua suddenly stopped her, "Yueyue, let me get you some water."

Li Xiyue was baffled. What was wrong with this guy all of a sudden?
