But it doesn't matter.

There is no mat, but there is straw.

No matter how shabby this place is, it is still better than a thatched house.

Shen Mingxi turned and left with a smile on his face.

If 009 was here, he would have discovered that the energy ball around Shen Mingxi was undergoing imperceptible fluctuations at this moment, as if rainbows were radiating from the inside out, and then converging into a beam of light that rushed straight into the sky.

It was only ten minutes before and after. Shen Mingxi was busy washing the pot when suddenly his eyes lit up and a ray of sunlight shone through the thick clouds.

Shen Mingxi put down the simple brush that his elder brother had tied for him and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bright sunshine enveloped this northern land.

Shen Mingxi stood at the door blankly, not moving.

Suddenly I remembered my thoughts just now, the little koi resting in the space, and the second gift package - May your wishes come true.

It's amazing.

Shen Mingxi thought with some happiness.

If I think about it, will pie in the sky fall? Although I don't believe it in my heart, I still look up at the sky involuntarily.

Then he laughed secretly.

What was she thinking? Even if pie fell from the sky, she wouldn't dare to eat it!

Su Xiaojuan, who was standing at the door, said happily, "Xiaoxi, look, the sun is out. The two mats we have brushed will be dried soon."

Shen Qingshan happened to pass by her and joked, "I guess the sun came out because he saw you and Xiaoxi brushing the mat."

Shen Mingxi blinked her eyes. It was okay. She thought her brother would say that it was all thanks to Sister Xiaojuan.

Fortunately, I haven’t forgotten my sister.

At this time, Third Master Shen stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Where is Qingshan? You are strong, go to the granary with Third Master."

Shen Qingshan sighed happily and followed Master Shen San happily.

Shen Yu finally put his mind at ease.

As long as there is food, you can survive, and you can plan the rest slowly.

There is strength in numbers.

In addition, there is no idle person in the Shen family’s main house, even the youngest Yaya knows how to sweep the floor.

So, it took less than an hour to clean up the educated youth site inside and out.

Feng Anchen took a look and realized that it seemed that it was time to go to work. It was okay for him not to work, but he needed to use the carriage.

After saying hello to Shen Jiawen, Feng Anchen picked up the whip and drove the carriage back to the brigade headquarters.

Everyone else went home too.

Shen Mingxi and Chen Li also prepared the first meal after their separation.

Time was tight and the cornmeal had no time to ferment. Fortunately, there was not only a big pot but also a steaming curtain. After cleaning it, I simply steamed a pot of steamed cornbread.

Aunt Su brought a small can of cooking oil, a bottle of soy sauce, salt and a kitchen knife, while Third Brother Su carried a basket of freshly dug potatoes, cabbage and green onions.

Then Aunt Su stuffed another twenty yuan into Chen Li's pocket.

Aunt Zhang also brought a basket of eggplants and beans.

After steaming the steamed corn bread, I stewed a pot of beans and potatoes.

In the blink of an eye, the aroma of food wafted through the deserted youth cadre’s residence.

There were no tables or stools, so they placed the food on a stone slab in the yard. There was only a wooden basin filled with simmering vegetables and steamed corn bread in a basket.

The remaining one is just enough for bowls and chopsticks.

Although the meal was simple, everyone enjoyed it very much.

Shen Yu thought sadly that happiness was too simple for his wife and children.

Grandma Mu learned the news a little late. When she arrived, the Shen family's eldest daughter had already finished her meal and was packing her luggage.

Grandma Mu stood in the yard, looking at Chen Li and Xiao Xi who were coming over, with a smile on her face. Her brows, which were always full of worries, were now relaxed. "Chen Li, we have finally separated. You should live a good life from now on."

"Yes, Aunt Mu, we have finally separated. We will live a good life in the future."

Chen Li said with a choked voice again.

For the first time, she felt like she could hold her head high and be a decent person.

It turns out that it is such a happy thing that there is no old lady in the kitchen.

She must live a good life like this, even if it shortens her life.

Grandma Mu took out a stack of money from her pocket and said without question, "Chen Li, don't be polite to your aunt. This money is a loan from me. Now that the family is divided, money is needed everywhere. At the very least, you have to build a house first, so that you have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and then you can plan for other things."

Chen Li stared blankly at Grandma Mu's hand.

It was the first time she had seen so much money.

She also knew that it was not easy for Grandma Mu to save that money.

Chen Li couldn't help but look at Shen Yu for help.

Shen Yu was walking towards this side. When he came to Grandma Mu, he took the money from her without hesitation and said, "Aunt Mu, we will accept this money. We can use it to buy a homestead and build a house."

Grandma Mu's cloudy eyes were filled with tears with joy. She was really afraid that they would not want it. You know, being too stubborn in trying to save face is a living torture.

Now, Shen Yu seems to have come to terms with it.

She couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Once again, it was confirmed that Shen Yu had changed.

There was a different look in his eyes.

Grandma Mu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, buy a homestead and build a house, this is the most important thing."

Shen Mingxi suddenly thought of the land at Shilazipo.

At this time, Shen Yu had to go to the brigade headquarters to find Uncle Shen San and send Grandma Mu home.

But he noticed that Shen Mingxi was hesitant to speak, so he quickly asked, "Xiaoxi, what can I do for you?"

Shen Mingxi hesitated for a moment and then said directly, "Dad, do you know where Shilazipo is?"

"I know. Are you talking about the place with the pond?"

"Yes, that's the place."

Shen Yu recalled for a moment, smiled, looked at his daughter, and said gently, "Xiaoxi, do you like that place?"

"Yes, Dad, I like it there. Next spring, we can buy some ducklings and raise them in the pond. We can also use the thatched land as a vegetable garden. The terrain there is high, so it won't matter even if the Fengquan River floods."

Grandma Mu was also happy because it was very close to her home.

Shen Yu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, that's the place. I'll go find Mr. Shen San now."

Seeing Shen Yu agreed so readily, Shen Mingxi hesitated, "Dad, won't you consider it?"
