Shuiqing also really wanted to visit her parents.
They haven't seen each other for almost a month since they went back last time.
These days, going out is very inconvenient, and sending messages is also very inconvenient. Usually, you just ask someone to pass on a message if you need to.
Nowadays, most villagers in Shanshui Village are so busy making adobe houses that they hardly ever leave the village.
Shuiqing was eager to know how her mother and younger brother were doing with their rice wine sales, and she was very tempted by Fan Jin's suggestion.
But, "It wouldn't be right for us, the hosts, to go out when guests come over, would it?"
Fan Jin, who was also knowledgeable about hospitality, asked, "Do you think our 'guests' need us to entertain them?"
Shui Qing thought of the three people who were nominally guests.
Needless to say, Bai Ziqian spent his days happily chopping firewood with Dajiang on the mountain.
Li Huyu became addicted to casting nets to catch fish, getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs every day, all for the sake of catching fish.
They barely ate any of the fish they caught, and the food was just enough to fill their stomachs. They would quickly finish eating and then go out to catch fish again.
The fish that have become an infestation in our house are all thanks to her!
As for Bai Manshan, he was even busier.
Every day, with his hands behind his back, he would watch over the rabbits, piglets, and sheep, then inspect the vegetable garden to see how each vegetable was growing, before going down the slope to chat with Jinniu and the others.
My schedule is packed, I haven't had a moment to spare.
Fan Jin continued his analysis: "We returned early today and just finished lunch. If we drive the oxcart back and forth quickly, as long as we make dinner in time, it won't be considered a slack."
In fact, what he wanted to say was that Bai Manshan and Li Huyu wouldn't care whether they were being negligent or not.
We'd only spent two or three days together, but we acted like old friends who'd known each other for years, spending time together freely and casually.
Shui Qing also felt that even if it was late, Bai Manshan and Hu Yu wouldn't care much, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go and come back quickly!"
It just so happens that we need to 'stock up' a bit.
Pork was acceptable, since Fan Jin could afford to bring back fresh pork from the prefectural city every day.
But rabbits can't!
The main problem is that the mall currently has a huge sum of over 1.3 million yuan, which can only be viewed but not purchased, making me really itchy to buy it.
They had to go out alone and bring back a whole cart full of 'supplies'.
After making up her mind, Shuiqing went to instruct Yan Qiuxing to return, and Fan went in to lead the ox and harness the cart.
Before long, the two of them set off with the fish!
On the way, I secretly bought rice, flour, and eggs from the mall and put them on my cart to take with me.
When we arrived at Niutou Town, we could see people coming and going from the Hu family's house from afar.
As the oxcart drew nearer, Hu Wenhua spotted the two first and called out in a loud voice, "Sister, brother-in-law!"
Hearing this from inside the house, Hu's mother rushed out.
Seeing the white flour, rice, and eggs on the cart, I felt extremely distressed.
She scolded, "You sent quite a lot last time, why did you bring more? We're already good enough with coarse grains, keep these refined grains at home for the kids."
Fan Jin smiled gently and said, "There's still plenty at home, enough for the children to eat."
Shuiqing chimed in, "Yes, the rice wine at home is selling quite well, and we're making money every day. Now that we have some extra cash, we thought we'd bring some over for you too."
The eggs were laid by our own chickens, we didn't spend any money to buy them, and the fish were caught, we didn't spend any money to bring them either. We brought some for you to eat to help you recover.
"By the way, Mother, how's the rice wine sales going?"
