Chapter 364 Secret Guard
That's true. There's firewood burning in the house, so I don't feel cold.
Even Old Mrs. Zhao had a smile on her face.
Her eyes are kind and full of hope for life.
The main reason is that my family’s conditions are better now and I have a way to make money.
And it’s not tiring to cook brown sugar.
It’s much easier than farming.
But no matter what, the work in the fields has to be done.
We should take good care of the fields in the spring.
Because if you plant food, you will have food to eat.
You can't rely on buying food to eat.
The price of food outside is not fixed. Sometimes when the price is very high, you can’t buy food even with copper coins.
So for the villagers, having land brings peace of mind.
This way we can grow food.
Don't worry about having no food to eat.
Cultivating crops in the fields can give everyone a sense of security.
Zhao Erlin said, "This year is good. Winter isn't cold, and I can still make money."
Last month, grandma even bought some meat and made meat-filled dumplings for them.
Meat cost more than twenty cents per pound. In the past, they would not have been willing to buy it no matter how greedy they were.
But now they can also taste meat filling and eat meat-filled dumplings with white flour.
Even now, Zhao Erlin still has an endless aftertaste when he thinks of that taste.
Even during the Chinese New Year in the past, he had never eaten meat-filled dumplings.
Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Grandma said that we should celebrate it well this year and buy more New Year's goods.
Zhao Erlin's heart was full of anticipation.
So I am very motivated to work.
Zhao Dalin smiled and said, "Of course, everyone is happy to make money by making brown sugar."
Zhao Erlin said excitedly: "Brother, the key is that we don't have to go far away. We can do these things at home without delaying our housework."
"During the busy farming season, we work on the fields. When we're not busy, we continue making brown sugar."
Zhao Erlin thought this was a good idea as it would not delay his family matters.
"I know that some people in the village used to go out to find work. It was far from home, and they had to spend money on food. It was very hard work."
In fact, Zhao Dalin had tried to find a job outside before, but after asking around, he realized how hard it was.
It might be better if the boss is kind-hearted.
If there is a problem with the boss, his wages will be withheld and he will even whip his employees.
Some people go out to work, but come back half dead. It's terrible.
It’s still comfortable and safe at home.
And you will definitely miss home when you are away from home.
Even buying food is expensive.
They cook brown sugar at home, don't delay anything, and eat their meals at home.
"We must remember Sister Jiang's kindness."
"Of course. Everyone in the village is grateful to Sister Jiang. I heard that Sister Jiang has gone on a long journey and no one knows when she will return."
"Don't worry, I will be back. Your Aunt Cui and Sister Cui are still here."
Not only the Zhao family misses Jiang Zhiluo.
Many families in the village remember her kindness.
So when Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci closed the shop and drove their ox cart home in the heavy snow, they found that a path had been cleared from the village entrance to their doorstep.
Cui Qingci said: "It must be the villagers who are helping."
Mrs. Cui was also touched. "The reason we chose this village to settle down was because although Donghe Village is remote and poor, the village has a good atmosphere, everyone is sincere and kind, and the atmosphere is good."
“We help each other with whatever we need.”
"When your brother and I first came to the village, the small fenced courtyard we lived in was given to us by the villagers. Everyone was very welcoming, giving us eggs or vegetables."
"So now we have to develop our business, run the store well, and help the villagers."
Jiang Zhiluo also meant the same thing.
The villagers were grateful to them. In fact, Mrs. Cui and the others were also grateful for the villagers' initial acceptance.
Instead of being xenophobic, everyone welcomed them warmly.
And give them things.
Cui Qingci held Mrs. Cui's hand tightly and said, "Mother, you worked hard back then."
Mrs. Cui sighed, "It felt hard at the time, but now that I think about it, it's all over."
"Fortunately, we chose to settle here, which allowed your brother to meet your sister-in-law. With your sister-in-law, our lives have been getting better and better."
"I don't know how your brother and sister-in-law are doing?"
Cui Qingci said: "If my brother and sister-in-law are together, everything will be fine, but I miss my sister-in-law a little bit."
Mrs. Cui also wanted to, hoping that they could come back soon.
After the two men entered the house and tied up the ox cart, they prepared to cook dinner.
"Mom, let's eat hot pot on a snowy day."
"You and I are thinking the same thing, let's eat hot pot. Your sister-in-law once said when she made hot pot for us that it's the best to eat hot pot on a snowy day."
After learning how to cook from Jiang Zhiluo, Mrs. Cui and Cui Qingci would also cook these meals on weekdays.
However, every time they ate, they couldn't help but think of Jiang Zhiluo.
It snowed heavily at night and the north wind was howling.
Old Madam Cui and Cui Qingci slept well in the warm quilt even though they didn't have a heated kang.
It was still snowing heavily outside the next day.
Cui Qingci looked outside and saw a vast expanse of white.
"It's snowing so heavily."
"It's impossible to go out in such a thick snow, but luckily there's a notice posted at the door of the store."
"No one will go to the store on a snowy day like this."
Old Madam Cui and Cui Qingci rested at home with peace of mind.
Of course they were not idle either, but continued to make lip balm and shampoo.
The store is doing good business and things like this are selling very well, so they have to hurry up and make more.
Perhaps they were thinking of Jiang Zhiluo, and they felt motivated to run this store.
They originally bought this shop for Jiang Zhiluo.
…
Xingshan Village
When Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye woke up in the morning, they found a thick layer of snow in the yard.
"It looked like it snowed quite heavily last night."
"It's cold in the north, so if Zhiluo were in the south, she wouldn't be cold."
Jiang Xiangchuan and Ye couldn't help but miss Jiang Zhiluo at home.
But they also knew that if Jiang Zhiluo wanted to do something, they had to support her.
Ye said, "Do you think Zhiluo has remembered everything?"
When Jiang Xiangchuan heard this, his expression changed, and he said with a serious face: "If that's the case, it means that her seal will also be lifted."
"Once it's lifted, the master's people will definitely be able to find her."
Ye couldn't help but think of what happened back then.
Her master was not the real third lady in the mansion.
Of course, the third lady in the mansion is actually the master's secret guard.
Mr. Wei Sanye knows it, General Wei knows it, but perhaps no one else knows it.
After she got together with Jiang Xiangchuan, her master let her leave to live on her own.
She was reluctant to leave her master at that time, but her master said it was an order.
Later, something happened in the Wei Mansion, and they hurried back to the Wei family.
But before they reached the Wei family, the master found them, handed the young lady over to them, and explained many things to them.
At that time, she and Jiang Xiangchuan were both extremely shocked.
But in order to protect the little lady, they must obey orders.
Later, when they hid in the fleeing group, they learned the news that a fire had broken out in the Wei Mansion that night.
