Almost every household returned their belongings.
Although it's not something valuable, it represents a reciprocal attitude.
Even a few old bachelors sent over some small gifts.
The baskets woven by the neighbor to the east, the brooms made by the neighbor to the west...
Soon, the house was filled with all sorts of random little gadgets.
And there's a cabbage in your yard and a bag of sweet potatoes in mine...
Although the items were small and few in number, most of them were exactly what the Chi and Li families needed.
When everyone gathered their belongings together, they were surprised to find that apart from seasonings, grains, and cotton, they didn't lack anything else in the house.
The men went to town to buy things, while the women packed their things.
I also took the ginseng and sold it.
However, the wild rabbit was left behind, intending to slowly kill and eat it to nourish the children.
Sister-in-law Chi and the others were all diligent, and the younger ones also helped out. The even younger Silang, Wulang, and Tangtang sat obediently on the bedding laid out outside, trying not to cause any trouble.
In one hour, the five main rooms were cleaned.
In the stove behind, Brother Wu kept tending the fire, making the kang (a heated brick bed) warm and removing the dampness.
After opening the window, it was discovered that the window paper was torn.
Sister-in-law Chi slapped her forehead: "I wonder if they even know to buy window paper."
"It's okay, if we don't buy it when we come back, we'll go back and buy it again." Li Mingfan's wife chuckled and rubbed her aching back.
Since her miscarriage two years ago, she has experienced severe lower back pain every time she has her period.
well.
Aunt Chi chuckled as she wrung out the rag and wiped her hands: "We definitely can't buy everything in one trip; we'll have to make two or three more trips."
There are so many things you need for daily life at home!
"cold!"
Chi Tang put her chubby little hands in front of her mouth, like a little megaphone, and kept calling for her mother.
Aunt Chi was exhausted, and having finished tidying up, she sat down next to her daughter and gave her two big kisses.
"It's cold!"
Chi Tang suddenly remembered that when she left Dahe Village, she brought many things from home that she couldn't take with her.
For example, cabinets, pots and pans, and so on.
"What is that?" Aunt Chi didn't immediately understand.
Chi Tang sighed.
But you can't take the things out in front of everyone.
He then shouted, "Pee!"
Aunt Chi tapped her daughter's little nose: "Come on, Mom will take you to pee."
After carrying Chi Tang to the backyard, just as I was about to help her urinate, I suddenly noticed a cabinet in front of me!
Like this...
Why does it look so much like the cupboards and cabinets we use to store pots and pans at home?
Upon closer inspection, it really was!
"Oh my, daughter, did you bring back all our old things from the gods again?"
"right!"
Chi Tang shouted, but unexpectedly spat out saliva. Startled, she immediately covered her mouth, her two big, dark grape-like eyes darting around, practically screaming "It wasn't me!"
Aunt Chi laughed heartily, "My precious daughter, it's so good to have you."
Why did they suddenly take this out?
It wasn't that she didn't trust the Li family, but it was better if as few people as possible knew about this kind of thing.
She didn't want to take any risks.
"But Tangtang, let's not take these things out yet, okay?" Aunt Chi planned to discuss it with the old man before deciding what to do.
Chi Tang nodded obediently.

The men returned an hour and a half later, each carrying a lot of things on their backs.
Mats, cotton, cloth, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar...
There's a lot of random stuff.
I even bought a big bag of pine nut candy!
The women in the family were so angry that they started scolding them.
"Why did you buy this? It's so expensive! Don't you know how to manage your money?" Aunt Chi grabbed Chi Sanhe's ear and scolded him. "You must have insisted on buying it! Otherwise, would your older brother and the others have even thought of buying it?"
Of all his sons, the third one is the most unreliable!
All they do is eat and be lazy!
Chi Sanhe cried out that he was wronged: "Si Lang still needs to apply medicine, and so does Le Shi. Buy some candy and let them eat it."
"Mother, this time it really isn't my third brother's fault." Chi Dashan smiled so hard his gums were showing.
Seeing her son so happy, Aunt Chi felt relieved and boldly guessed, "How much did those two ginseng roots sell for?"
Otherwise, my son wouldn't be so happy.
Chi Sanhe rolled his eyes and muttered something about favoritism.
However, he didn't dare to speak loudly, so no one paid any attention to him.
Old Man Chi took out the money and said with a smile, "I got a full one hundred taels of silver! Now I don't have to worry about Le Shi's leg anymore. I can buy all the best medicine and good things to help Le Shi recover!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.
Le Shi was overjoyed.
God knows how much he suffered that day.
She hoped her leg would heal soon, but she was also worried that her family didn't have enough money, and it wasn't right to keep relying on her aunt's money...
It's good that the family is rich.
"My God, so much money?"
Aunt Li couldn't resist taking the silver and biting down hard: "Ouch, my tooth hurts, it really does!"
The happy old lady's eyes were filled with tears!
Having money makes me feel at ease!
Otherwise, I'll always feel weak and uneasy!
"Haha, Mom, are you crazy?" Sister-in-law Chi hugged her mother, also extremely excited.
"Here's the deal: one hundred taels of silver, which we'll split equally between our two families, fifty taels each. Brother, here's fifty taels of silver for you."
