"Mother, Grass eats very little, so you can buy less grain to take home."
Wu Xiaocao's reaction was that she could go without eating; she could just drink water when she was hungry, which would save money!
As long as her mother doesn't throw a tantrum at her grandparents' place, she's willing to keep saving money!
Jiang Yue patted her daughter's head. Everyone says that a daughter is sweet and considerate. No wonder many people in her previous life tried to have a second child, a daughter!
She'll spoil her child!
"After this injury, your mother dreamed of your father."
Jiang Yue rubbed the back of her head while observing the expressions of the children.
Sure enough, the eldest and second eldest brothers' expressions softened slightly, and they each pressed for answers:
"Mom, what did Dad say?"
"Mother, did Father appear in my dream?"
It seems that Wu Sanlang holds a significant place in the hearts of his two sons. As for the third and fourth sons, having lost their father at a young age, their feelings for him are not as deep, and their expressions show less nostalgia and only curiosity.
"Your father cares about us. He specifically instructed his mother to take good care of your grandparents and to properly educate you boys to become successful!"
Jiang Yue had a sudden inspiration and seized the opportunity to make up a reason, so that she would have a pretext for whatever she did in the future, and the children would have no choice but to believe her.
"Mother, did Father really say that?"
Wu Qingyun was the smartest of the children, but also the least superstitious.
He's not a three-year-old; he doesn't believe his father can appear in his dreams!
"Otherwise what? I need to go to town to buy grain, so tell me if I'm going or not?"
Jiang Yue isn't the original owner of this body; she spoils the third brother rotten!
When Wu Qingyun heard his mother scolding him so harshly, he frowned and thought to himself that his mother had never yelled at him like this before!
Could it be that Mother has been possessed by an evil spirit?
It must be said that Wu Qingyun is really smart among the four Wu siblings!
The person followed her steps, but their mouth kept probing her:
"Mom, my birthday is coming soon, have you prepared longevity noodles for me?"
"You brat, have you gone stupid from reading too much? Your birthday is clearly the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. If you don't like longevity noodles, why don't you eat meat buns instead!"
Jiang Yue was on high alert to deal with it. As expected of the second male lead, he asked some really tricky questions!
If she hadn't inherited the original owner's memories, this kid would have led her into a trap!
"Maybe I'm just too hungry; my head's spinning."
Wu Qingyun was relieved. It was his mother; otherwise, how could she answer so fluently?
"Mom is biased. She only knows how to buy meat buns for my third brother. When my eldest brother and I celebrate our birthdays, Mom only makes a bowl of noodles, which she borrowed from my grandparents!"
Wu Ergou, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, cleared the way while grumbling in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yue instinctively wanted to take off her shoe to hit the second son, but the villagers gradually came out, and upon seeing her family, they all avoided them, keeping their distance...
Oh well, why is she arguing with a kid who's only a teenager?
She should take the children to town to eat first, otherwise her next step in the renovation plan would be difficult to implement!
Wu Qingyun, with his sharp eyes, noticed his mother's subtle actions and sighed inwardly. "Just as I thought," he thought, "the mannerisms of a crude village woman..."
Only Wu Xiaocao smiled innocently.
Wujia Village is about three kilometers away from the town, and Jiang Yue couldn't hail a taxi!
At this moment, she finally realized how unpopular the original owner of this body was!
Even though the oxcart was empty, and she was willing to pay, they still wouldn't take her!
The three sons and one daughter seemed accustomed to the outsiders' attitude, showing no surprise whatsoever...
Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and decided to go!
So what if you have an oxcart?
When she buys an oxcart in the future, she'll have her eldest and second sons pull her around the village entrance a few times to show off!
Under the blazing sun, the family of five finally arrived in town.
Baishui Town
It was bustling with traffic and looked much, much bigger than Wujia Village.
The street vendors' cries were incessant. Most of them wore coarse linen clothes with patches, but their plump cheeks suggested they weren't short of money.
Tsk tsk, indeed, no matter what era it is, those who do business will always live better than those who are migrant workers!
"Selling meat buns!"
"Fresh, large meat buns, thin skin and lots of meat, so delicious!"
"Auntie, look how hungry your children are! Have some meat buns for them!"
Jiang Yue was still lost in her thoughts when the steamed bun vendor called her "Auntie" on the street, which struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her completely stunned...
aunt?
At her age, in modern times, she would at most be called "elder sister" or "auntie," so how did she become "grandma"?
That's so discouraging!
"Mother, I'm not hungry. I don't like meat buns."
Wu Xiaocao smelled the aroma of the meat buns, as if she had smelled some delicious delicacy.
When she turned her head, she saw her mother's gloomy face, which frightened her so much that she quickly put away her lustful thoughts.
"Mom, my sister doesn't like to eat it, but I do. Can you buy me two meat buns?"
As always, Wu Qingyun confidently ordered his mother to buy him some delicious food.
Wu Daniu and Wu Ergou could only watch their third brother with envy. They wanted to eat too, but dared not mention it, fearing their mother would publicly berate them as reincarnations of starving ghosts...
Jiang Yue snapped out of her daze and took in the vendor's disdainful look.
At the same time, she was also very perceptive of her children's subtle thoughts.
Fine, considering that the original owner gave her body to be reborn, allowing her to have four children for free, she will patiently train them!
"How much are the meat buns? Do you have pickled vegetable buns? What's the price? And how much are the steamed buns?"
The original owner was stingy and rarely took the children out, so it wasn't surprising that she acted so calculating in front of them.
"One copper coin for a meat bun, two vegetable buns, and three steamed buns."
The vendor, who had been looking down on the dirty village woman for not being able to afford steamed buns, was quite surprised to hear this. Thinking that it would be foolish not to do business, he quickly quoted a price.
"Then, give me six meat buns, four vegetable buns, and six steamed buns."
Jiang Yue thought for a moment, then pretended to take money out of her pocket by bending down, but actually took money remotely through the transaction system and counted out ten copper coins.
Not one more, not one less, ten in total!
"Alright, sir!"
The vendor's face lit up with joy; he actually bought it!
Hesitantly, I bought quite a lot, but paid the money readily, and the vendor gave me a large piece of oil paper to wrap it up!
Six meat buns?
Wu Qingyun was overjoyed; his mother still loved him the most!
He only asked for two meat buns, but his mother bought him six. He shouldn't have doubted his mother!
"Da Niu, Er Gou, Qing Yun, Xiao Cao, come here. Each of you will have a meat bun and a vegetable bun. Eat them while they're hot. After you're done, Mom will take you to buy grain!"
Jiang Yue asked the vendor for a bowl of water, scooped a bowl of water from the bucket next to the vendor's shop, and beckoned the children over to eat steamed buns.
Apart from Wu Qingyun's astonishment, the other three children looked surprised, then incredulous, and then obediently came over to eat the steamed buns.
That was the one that was so popular; it was something they devoured...
Wu Xiaocao took a few bites of the meat bun, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. This was the first time in her life she had ever eaten a meat bun...
