After carefully brushing her teeth twice, Chen Xuanxuan began to wash her face with facial cleanser again.
Chen Xuanxuan looked in the mirror and found that after spending half a year to clean and whiten her skin, her complexion had indeed become whiter.
After washing her face, Chen Xuanxuan applied a layer of skin care cream. Then, she began to scrub the dead skin under her feet carefully.
Chen Xuanxuan felt that she was old now and should have taken good care of herself.
As a woman, she should be nicer to herself.
To be honest, she really didn't understand the idea of women who like to make themselves rougher and rougher.
Some women have a very hard life, being beaten and scolded by men every day. While they are resentful, they like to show off on the Internet. They think that other women are not as virtuous as her, nor as capable as her, and can endure hardships.
After Chen Xuanxuan became a farmer now, she still didn't quite understand why those people were in that state.
Chen Xuanxuan has always been thinking in her heart that after traveling to this ancient society, if she also faces the situation of being beaten and scolded by men, then she will find ways to make herself a widow.
As for the elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law, can they survive her?
Thinking of this, Chen Xuanxuan began to add more food to herself.
After she drank a bowl of soy milk, she took out two pieces of walnut cake hidden in the cupboard. After she
was truly full and satisfied, Chen Xuanxuan yawned, took off her clothes, and went to bed.
The weather has been bad recently, and it has been raining outside all the time. The mountains are very muddy. Chen Xuanxuan really doesn't want to go out.
Of course, she has never been out.
She told Gu Yanzhang, "I am weak. If I get caught in a cold and a fever by accident, the cost of medical treatment and medicine will be at least several hundred coins. Instead of that, I might as well stay at home..."
Gu Yanzhang listened and agreed without thinking.
He felt that he had to have this daughter-in-law in this family.
If she was no longer in the family, he would not be able to rent that piece of land in the future.
This year is the second year of renting the official land. There are still three years to go.
Gu Yanzhang carefully calculated the accounts.
He found that the income from the 100 mu of land in their own family alone in the first year, ... after deducting the cost and tax, was as high as 20 taels of silver.
Several thousand kilograms of glutinous rice, hundreds of kilograms of rapeseed oil, five or six hundred kilograms of soybeans, ... this is the total annual output of the 100 mu of land.
In addition, his daughter-in-law is good at growing vegetables.
The pumpkins grown are big and beautiful.
Each pumpkin weighs several dozen kilograms, and he can get about 100 every year.
In addition, the cucumbers, beans, peppers, cabbages, etc., have brought a lot of income to the family.
Moreover, he is planning to invite people to slaughter the pigs after the big fat pigs in the family have grown fat in the autumn.
After all eight boars are slaughtered, he will invite the cobbler in the town to come over. Let him help peel off the skins of the eight boars and make clothes.
Although the pigskin coat sounds not very decent, after careful nitration and adding some lining inside the clothes, it is still very warm when worn in winter.
Besides, this thing can be used to show favors or give as gifts.
Thinking that he could make a lot of money from just those 8 pigskin coats, Gu Yanzhang, who was shouting slogans and selling buns in Tongzhen, became more and more motivated.
Gu Yanzhang felt that if the men in his family worked hard, they could still support the whole family. His wife was in poor health, so she could just grow vegetables at home. If she was too tired and got sick accidentally, that would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang suddenly made a decision. He thought that after he sold all the buns, he would take a serious look around the town to see if he could buy something to take back.
His wife really liked snacks.
She seemed to like walnut cakes and sesame cakes.
When Gu Yanzhang was asleep at night, he often heard her quietly get up from bed, then sit on the edge of the bed, and eat some biscuits, peach cakes and the like...
He asked Chen Xuanxuan why she often woke up in the middle of the night and didn't sleep?
Chen Xuanxuan told him that she was hungry at night and wanted to have a midnight snack.
Since knowing that his wife had the habit of eating 4 meals a day, sometimes 5 meals, Gu Yanzhang would buy her some delicious food in the county or town as long as he had money.
After selling a whole donkey cart of buns today, Gu Yanzhang almost got more than 600 Wen.
He went to a familiar snack shop and bought a pound of walnut cakes. He also bought half a pound of red date cakes.
The cheapest items in this snack shop are the soybean cakes, green bean cakes, and red bean cakes.
Gu Yanzhang had bought them for his wife before, but his wife told him that she knew how to make these cakes. If she hadn't been worried about offending people and stealing their business, she would have made them at home and let him sell them in the town.
Gu Yanzhang also bought a few other snacks at this time. After counting out 100 coins, Gu Yanzhang happily took his two sons home.
When Gu Yanzhang returned home, he said to his eldest son and second son, "These snacks are all your mother's favorite foods."
"She has suffered a lot with me over the years. Now our family conditions have improved, and you have married wives. We two old guys will rely on you to make a living in the future..."
The subtext of Gu Yanzhang's words was, I buy things for my wife, so don't say anything. Don't complain about me spending too much money.
Gu Dazhu, who was more thoughtful, understood it all at once.
He pretended to be an honest man and nodded sincerely and steadily. "Dad, this is what you deserve! Mom went through a lot of hardships and suffered a lot in order to give birth to us brothers and sisters. A few days ago, I heard mom say that her body aches when it rains. As a son, every time I see mom in such pain, my heart aches even more. I wish I could transfer all her pain to myself..."
As Gu Dazhu spoke, his eyes turned red and he almost cried.
Seeing how much his eldest son loved his mother, Gu Yanzhang could not help but nod in his heart.
He felt that his eldest son was a man with a conscience.
