This is simply an amazing life! When I first heard them say that fleeing famine was tough, I realized that others were suffering, but their suffering was something they had to hide from others, a suffering they couldn't talk about.
“Of course it’s great!” An Shuyi’s lips curled up. “Although it’s tough and tiring sometimes, we’re doing very well. The Lin family members are all very obedient, and our son is also ambitious.”
"Of course, although they were very disobedient at first, they became obedient after a few beatings. We also didn't have to worry about village affairs. We could go to the mountains to play, find precious flowers and plants, as well as poisonous plants and mushrooms to sell."
“My trading system allows a single ginseng root to sell for three thousand taels of silver, with older roots fetching even higher prices. You should know that the first wild vegetables I sold only cost two coins per pound.”
"At first, I couldn't even get a proper meal. I ate vegetable pancakes, which were just vegetables with some grains in them. They tasted awful. It was only after Hua Hua transmigrated that she bought me pancakes, which saved me from starving to death. After transmigrating, Hua Hua was my biggest advantage."
Back in ancient times, she was always grateful that Hua Hua had traveled through time with her; otherwise, she would have been all alone, and although she could have survived, it certainly wouldn't have been as good.
Aunt An looked at her with pity, "Then why are you looking for poisonous plants and mushrooms? Aren't you afraid of getting poisoned?"
Aren't these two kids a bit reckless? Why are they looking for poison?
"Of course it's for selling. When we were fleeing famine, we encountered a flood and had no food at all. There were hundreds of people in the village, and in order to find food for them, we could only buy from the warehouse, but buying required money," Xia Hua said.
“Those poisonous mushrooms are extremely expensive, and you can find them whenever it rains, unlike other flowers and plants, which you can’t find even one a day.”
At this point, he looked at An Shuyi and said, "Shushu, don't you still have Da Hong Pao tea? Did you forget to give it to your uncle again?"
An Shuyi slapped her forehead, "I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. We'll get it later. The food will be cooked, and it's not very tasty if it's overcooked. Look at Second Brother, he's been eating it the whole time."
She had barely finished speaking when several pieces of meat appeared in her bowl, which Xiao Yubai had placed on her plate. "Thank you, Yubai. You can eat it yourself, don't worry about me."
Mom nodded, "Yes, let's eat and talk at the same time."
Only then did everyone put down the meat, pick up their vegetables, and start eating, before speaking again.
By the time we finished dinner, it was already 9 p.m. We had planned to go out, but since we had been drinking, we had to cancel.
Looking at the empty wine jar, the two people who weren't drunk at all, and then at the others who seemed used to it, Dad didn't know what to say.
I thought they were just drinking, but not much. But I didn't expect that even if they weren't drunk, their stomachs should be full by now, but they seemed to be completely unaffected.
Seeing his father's incredulous expression, An Shucheng said, "They both have a high alcohol tolerance. Xiao Yubai said that unless it's a very old wine with a high alcohol content, aged for decades, it would be impossible to get them drunk."
“When we had dinner together the day before yesterday, the two of them drank like this, one glass after another. They didn’t even dare to drink water like that, but they didn’t get drunk.”
Although I drank a bit too much, girls can drink as much as they want as long as they don't get drunk.
An Shuyi took out several boxes from the warehouse. "Dad, this is the tea we picked and made ourselves. It's very delicious. Try it and see. If you don't like it, give it away."
"There are five kinds here, all of which are the most famous. Each can is full. If you can't finish it after opening it, and you like it, you can wrap it into smaller portions and vacuum pack it so that it won't spoil easily."
Dad nodded, "Okay, I'll open a can and try it tomorrow. If it's good, I'll pack it into smaller portions."
However, he felt that it must taste good. It was the Da Hong Pao tea from ancient times, which was what he usually drank. He didn't know which one tasted better.
"Alright, second brother, let the housekeeper clean the room for them. We're going back to our room." After An Shuyi finished speaking, she and Xia Hua went upstairs.
Although they weren't drunk, they wanted to go to bed early after drinking, as it would make it easier for them to fall asleep.
They each went back to their rooms, closed the doors, took showers, dried their hair, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep instantly.
When I woke up the next day, it was already eleven o'clock. I didn't have a headache. After washing up and changing my clothes, I went downstairs. Only my father was sitting downstairs drinking tea.
"Dad, where are the others?" An Shuyi asked.
An's father looked up and saw that she was alone. He said, "Those two boys have already gone back. They said they sent you a message. Hua Hua hasn't gotten up yet. Your eldest brother has already gone back. Your second brother is handling company matters. Your mother went to Shu Ya's house."
"Hua Hua hasn't gotten up yet. I'll go check on her. Maybe she drank too much last night and got drunk." After saying that, she ran back upstairs and opened the door.
She didn't see Huahua on the bed, but she heard water running in the bathroom, so it seemed she was washing up.
Xia Hua was still taking a shower when she heard the door open. Just from the footsteps, she knew who it was—it must be Shu Shu. She quickly rinsed off the soap before wrapping herself in a towel and leaving the room.
"Shushu, when did you get up?"
An Shuyi was about to ask her when she would be ready when she saw the door open. "I just got up not long ago. I heard from Dad that you hadn't gotten up yet, and I was worried that you drank too much last night and weren't feeling well, so I came up to check on you."
Hua Hua always gets up earlier than her. Although there were a few times, she usually gets up first. She's worried, so she naturally has to come and check on her.
"I'm not feeling unwell, I just drank a lot and slept quite well, and I slept for a long time. You go and have breakfast first, I'll be down in a bit."
"Okay, I'll go down first, but I don't need to eat breakfast. It's more appropriate to have lunch now." It's already eleven o'clock, so it's time to have lunch.
My second brother doesn't need to come back for dinner, and I don't know if my mother will come back either, so it'll just be her, Huahua, and my father eating.
I went downstairs so the chef could prepare lunch, and then waited in the living room.
"Has Huahua gotten up yet?" Dad put down his newspaper and asked.
"I'm up, I'll be right down. Dad, why didn't you go to the company today?" Logically speaking, her father is so busy, it's impossible for him to leisurely stay at home drinking tea.
"Because I took care of things a couple of days ago, if there's anything that needs to be taken care of, you can send it over. But you and Huahua have already graduated, so is there anything you can do for us?"
A while ago, I gave these two kids a small company to learn from, but only the second day, they went to the countryside for team building, then traveled through time. When they came back, it was only three days, and then the two of them stopped caring about the company.
I handed the company over to my wife, saying they were going on a trip and were coming back now, so I asked if she could stay at the company for a few days.
Upon hearing this, An Shuyi immediately shook her head, "No need. The company is no fun at all, and we don't lack money. There's no need to work so hard. Dad, you don't want to take away our happiness, do you?"
“If you don’t want to work so hard, just give the whole company to your eldest and second eldest brothers. They can handle it. Hua Hua and I can just take a share of the profits. We don’t need too much, just a token amount.”
