In the south room, Jiang Xin cleaned up and lay down on the bed.
Facing everyone's concern, he forced a smile and said, "The doctor said that as long as I rest well, my leg will be fine. Don't worry."
After hearing this, Ge Shuzhen finally let out a deep breath and comforted him: "It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. It's okay, just rest well. We are here for you at home."
Jiang Xin nodded: "I understand, mother, you guys go and do your work, just let Su Yan accompany me."
There is a lot of work to do at home, and he feels embarrassed to ask his whole family to rest and accompany him. Besides, the Chinese New Year is only two months away, so he naturally wants to make more money during the New Year.
Ge Shuzhen hummed, then handed the person to Lai Suyan: "You stay here with him, call us if you need anything."
"Don't worry, auntie, I will take good care of Brother Xin."
In the main room.
Jiang Wuli tapped the eight-immortal table with his pipe, reminding the gloomy people in the room: "Look at how listless you all are. Jiang Xin only broke his leg, he's not disabled. Why are you all sitting here with such a sad face? Hurry up and get back to work. Do what you need to do. If you delay the work, I'll hold you accountable."
After hearing this, Jiang Fu told his brothers to go out to work, leaving only the adults in the room. Ge Shuzhen sighed, "We had agreed to get engaged on November 5th, but I think it would be better to get married directly on December 20th."
"No, we have to do it, and we have to do it in a big way. We have to treat the whole village to a meal."
Jiang Wuli said this in a resounding voice. Seeing his sons and daughters-in-law looking puzzled, he finally explained the reason: "While Jiang Xin is getting engaged, let Jiuer announce in front of the whole village that we will be planting peppers next year."
"Secondly, we need to get rid of the bad luck for Jiang Xin. He hasn't had any luck this year, so we should take this opportunity to get rid of the bad energy."
After Dad said this, Ge Shuzhen and Jiang Yongtian also felt that the eldest son was really unlucky and it was time for him to go and get rid of the bad luck. They thought that engagement was not marriage, so when the time came, he would come out to meet everyone and then go back to rest, which would not be a problem.
"Then Father Cheng, I'm ready to go. Our engagement date remains unchanged."
Jiang Wuli nodded to the third son's wife, picked up his pipe, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. He found Kexin in the corner of the yard and saw her directing Jiang Fu to build a clay stove. She seemed to be unaffected, so he felt relieved.
In the afternoon, the clay stove was built and she baked it with fire for the whole afternoon to get rid of the moisture in the stove. The next day, she began to try to make small cookies. The first few batches of cookies were either too hot or too cold. It was not until the seventh batch that she succeeded.
Cao Zhaodi looked at the small cookies in the wooden basin and sighed, "I wasted so much milk, flour, and oil, and finally figured it out. It was really not easy."
"Mrs. Fu, nothing is easy. Look how red Kexin's face is. It's better to have a good result than to waste these things." Although Ye Xia felt sorry for the milk and flour, success was a good result.
Compared to the two sisters-in-law talking, Ke Xin didn't say a word, but ate the cookies, feeling as if she were in another world. After eating, she handed the cookies to her sisters-in-law and said, "You two try them. After eating, follow the steps I just taught you to make them."
The two sisters-in-law grabbed a few cookies and ate a few. They were crispy and not too sweet, with a strong milky flavor. It was the first time Ye Xia had eaten something so delicious. She said, "These cookies are no worse than cakes. They are delicious."
Cao Zhaodi glanced at Ye Xia and said, "There are cakes that are simpler than this one, and they taste just as good. They all taste good to me."
Ke Xin smiled and said, "One is baked and the other is steamed, so they are definitely different. But in the next few days I will teach you how to make bread, which is also a kind of snack. Once you have learned it, you can leave the store soon."
Her words gave the two sisters-in-law a reassurance. In the following days, they were inseparable. No matter what they were doing, they were always discussing snacks. They even developed one of their own. Everyone who tasted it thought it was delicious and praised the two sisters-in-law for their cleverness.
In the evening, Su Yan came to Ke Xin's room, carrying two bundles and handed them to her. She pointed to one of the larger bundles and said, "Jiu Er, these are 33 sets of small clothes. I have finished making them all."
"This set of clothes is made according to your drawing, but I think the size of the clothes looks like Mr. Liu's." After saying that, she blinked a few times and smiled at Ke Xin.
Jiang Kexin was such a thick-skinned person that even a needle couldn't penetrate it. She replied generously, "I estimated his body size and asked you to make it, but I don't know if it will fit."
After that, she smiled and explained, "Last time, someone sent my brother to the town, and his brocade robe was stained with blood. This is just a piece of clothing as compensation for him."
Su Yan let out a long "oh", and it was obvious that she didn't believe it. She smiled and said, "Don't explain. Excessive explanations are just covering up, and covering up is the truth. I'm leaving now, and you should get some rest."
What is the truth? The truth is that she and Liu Feiyang can't have a future!
Ke Xin packed her clothes and did not go to the space at night, but went to bed early.
Listening to the whistling wind outside and thinking about the money coming in tomorrow, she fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her face.
In the middle of the night, a slight noise came from outside the house, waking Ke Xin from her sweet dream.
I opened my clear eyes, but just as I stood up, I was pushed back. A cold smell of ambergris rushed into my nose. This smell...
She exclaimed and looked at the person on her: "Liu Feiyang?"
"Shh... There's someone outside, help me."
After he finished speaking in Ke Xin's ear, he fell limply on top of her. Ke Xin tried to push him away, but failed. She then realized that he had fainted. Besides the smell of ambergris, a strong smell of blood hit her nose.
Outside the window, several figures flashed by. Ke Xin didn't know who they were, but they were definitely not good people. She grabbed Liu Feiyang and the blood-stained quilt, and after silently reciting the word "space", the two disappeared from the bed. At this time, the window was also opened. After the man in black found that this was an empty room, he quietly retreated.
In the space, Ke Xin discovered that there were two holes in Liu Feiyang's back and he was bleeding. She was so scared of bleeding that she had to tear off his clothes. Since she had no hemostatic medicine, she washed the wound with spiritual spring water and pressed the wound with cloth. No matter what, she couldn't let Liu Feiyang die in her own home tonight.
Fortunately, after all her efforts and the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the wound finally stopped bleeding. However, Ke Xin was still unconscious. During this period, Ke Xin left the space once. The sky outside was already dark. Hearing the sound of someone sweeping the yard outside, Ke Xin's heart finally settled down.
Move Liu Feiyang out of the space and dress him in clothes of his own design. The clothes were made of azure blue material, with bamboo embroidered on the chest and cuffs. He looked much more handsome in this refreshing look than in the stuffy red.
Seeing that his lips were dry, Ke Xin fed him some spiritual spring water, and after a while he opened his eyes.
