Jiang Qinyu glanced at the two children not far away and decisively used her consciousness to check the introduction of the after-sales service function.
[All products sold through the system can be serviced with one-click after-sales support. For example, grain seeds purchased through the system can receive services such as weeding and timely watering and fertilization using the one-click after-sales support.]
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qinyu opened her mouth in surprise. "Wow, this system is amazing! Isn't this just like one-click hosting?"
But if that's the case, her plan to mix high-yield grain seeds into the grain seeds bought from the village will fall through.
Jiang Qinyu made a decision after a moment's thought.
We will definitely grow high-yield grains ourselves, and sell the surplus to those hardworking families in the village. It doesn't matter if they don't have money now; we can make up for it later.
Of course, high-yield grain varieties are more expensive than ordinary improved varieties.
After checking the situation in the field, Jiang Qinyu took the child home, and it was time to prepare lunch.
Now that the fruit and vegetable section is open, Jiang Qinyu can cook many more meals for the children.
It's a pity the fresh meat section isn't unlocked yet, otherwise they would be free to eat meat.
"It smells so good! Auntie, what are you making?" Pan'er stood behind the stove, staring longingly at the food in the pot.
Jiang Qinyu looked at her amusedly, her hands continuing their work without stopping. "It's just mushrooms and vegetables, you don't have to make such a fuss, do you?"
"But it smells so good, brother, doesn't it?" Pan'er turned her head, seeking approval from Shufan, who was tending the fire.
Shufan nodded. "It smells very good."
The main reason is that they haven't had fresh vegetables for a long time.
Jiang Qinyu scooped out the mushrooms and greens, then quickly washed the wok and cooked the next dish.
"There's no meat today, so you can't be picky eaters," Jiang Qinyu said as she stir-fried the chopped tofu in the pan, instructing her two children.
There was no other way; there was no fresh meat available, and she had been eating seafood from the seafood section for two days, so she was tired of it and decided to try eating vegetables for a day first.
The two children shook their heads in unison, sniffing the air. The dish their aunt was making now smelled even better than the one they had just had!
The rice was already steamed, and two dishes were ready. Jiang Qinyu quickly called Shufan and Pan'er to wash their hands and eat.
There was a large water tank in their yard, filled with tap water from Jiang Qinyu's space. They used this water for washing their hands and other daily routines.
However, she didn't add much water, so as not to let others notice anything amiss when they came to her house.
"Come on, eat more vegetables, especially Pan'er, her hair is almost dry." Jiang Qinyu served food to the two of them, and looked at Pan'er's hair and felt a headache coming on.
She hasn't skimped on the children's meals lately, but it's difficult to maintain a balanced diet under current conditions, and there's nothing she can do about it.
Fortunately, there were still fresh eggs in the fruit and vegetable section. Whenever she was home, she would try different ways to cook for the children, and they always grew up well.
While thinking, Jiang Qinyu ate quite quickly.
The two children raved about the dishes, especially the stir-fried tofu, which they had never eaten before. Jiang Qinyu was generous with the oil, making it incredibly delicious for the two who were always hungry.
They had just finished eating and hadn't had time to clean up when shouts came from outside the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law Lu, are you home?"
It was Liu Ruyi's voice. Jiang Qinyu immediately got up, glanced around the kitchen and saw nothing amiss. The dishes on the table were all gone, so she went out to open the door.
"Why did Miss Liu come at this time?" Jiang Qinyu looked up at Liu Ruyi, who was clearly acting strangely.
At this moment, Liu Ruyi's eyes were slightly red, her lips were downturned, and she was carrying a small bundle in her hand. She looked at Jiang Qinyu with a helpless and pitiful expression, "Sister-in-law Lu, can you take me in for a few days? I really don't want to stay at Brother Wang's house any longer..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked as if she might burst into tears at any moment.
"What happened?" Jiang Qinyu asked in surprise, stepping aside to make way for the doorway. "Come in."
As soon as Liu Ruyi entered, she smelled a strong aroma of food, though it had already faded somewhat.
She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister-in-law Lu, I shouldn't have come at this time. Haven't you eaten yet?"
"No, we just finished eating." Jiang Qinyu was glad she arrived at the right time, otherwise she would have had to hide the food.
When Liu Ruyi heard that they had finished eating, her heart clenched, and she tightened her grip on the bundle in her hands. Thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.
"Sister-in-law Lu, I...can I stay here for a few days?" She looked at Jiang Qinyu earnestly, "I'll leave as soon as Brother Wang comes back. I won't stay for free; can you pay me?"
Jiang Qinyu refused without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, we don't have any extra rooms or beds for anyone to stay in. If you have nowhere to go, you can ask the village chief. He should have some rooms, and even if he doesn't, he will try to find a place for you to stay."
What a joke! If Liu Ruyi were to move in, wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that there's something strange about her? Only a fool would agree to that.
Liu Ruyi was disappointed for a moment upon hearing this, but she quickly cheered up and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Lu. I'll go find the village chief in a bit."
Having said that, Jiang Qinyu stopped talking and got up to go to the kitchen to pour out two bowls of water.
Liu Ruyi took a sip from the bowl, then smiled wryly and said, "You must be wondering why I came out, right?"
Jiang Qinyu remained silent. She would only listen if the other person was willing to talk about it; if they weren't, it was none of her business.
"I came here with Brother Wang because he saved my life, and I can't go back to the capital now, so I'm staying at the Wang family's house."
"But Brother Wang's mother is extremely critical of me. No matter what I do, she always gives me the cold shoulder..."
Thinking about her experiences at the Wang family these past few days, Liu Ruyi's mood soured again. She lowered her eyes and said, "Just now, she gave me half a coarse grain bun, saying it was for lunch today. But I clearly gave her ten taels of silver to exchange for some fine grains in the village, and yet..."
"I just asked, 'Do you have any refined grains?' and she gave me the cold shoulder and started making all sorts of veiled insults... so I left."
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, a few tears were already hanging in the corners of her eyes. She forced an awkward smile and looked at Jiang Qinyu. "Sister-in-law Lu, I won't bother you any longer. I'll go to the village chief's house and ask first."
She stood up, glanced at Jiang Qinyu's courtyard, curtsied, and then turned and left.
Jiang Qinyu had no intention of keeping her here. Although Liu Ruyi had brought her news from the border, she couldn't keep her at home because of that.
You know, it's often easier to invite a god than to send him away. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, and besides, she didn't know what kind of person Liu Ruyi was.
Jiang Qinyu didn't know what Liu Ruyi had said to the village chief, but anyway, she never came looking for her again, and nothing happened in the village.
However, that evening, shouts from Liu Yazi and Chen Shao came from the end of Dingshui Village.
"Village chief, everyone come quick! We've caught someone!"
