Giving him two anti-inflammatory pills was already quite generous of her.
After covering him with a blanket, Jiang Wanwan turned and left the woodshed.
By this time, it was already dark. Those who needed to cook went to cook, while those who didn't need to help with cooking continued to make mosquito coils in the yard, trying to make as many as possible as possible.
When Jiang Wanwan arrived in the courtyard, her family members stared wide-eyed, glancing at her every now and then, looking as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
She forced a smile. "Get busy first. I'll explain after dinner."
After saying that, she picked up a scale and helped weigh the materials for the mosquito coils.
After working for a while, Grandma Jiang poked her head out of the kitchen and called out to everyone, "The food is ready, come and eat!"
The courtyard was filled with a delicious aroma. Jiang Xun and his friends took several deep breaths, their mouths watering. They quickly stopped what they were doing and dashed into the main room.
When the adults saw the boy who looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, they shook their heads and laughed, "He's already a teenager, and he's not mature at all."
"Wan'er, you should go eat too. Leave the tidying up to us adults," Uncle Jiang said with a smile.
"No need, I'm not very hungry either. If I help pack these things, you uncles can eat sooner, right?" Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.
"Look, our Wan is the most sensible one."
Jiang Wanwan smiled and then, together with several adults, tidied up the materials for making mosquito coils. The mosquito coils that had already been dried were also packed into cloth bags and carried to the stove to dry, to prevent them from getting damp.
With everyone working together, they quickly tidied up the yard, carried the materials to the porch, washed their hands, and headed into the main room.
The dishes on the table were as plentiful as ever: stir-fried pork belly with green peppers, scrambled eggs with scallions, and a side of green vegetables. The staple food was rice.
Because there are many people in my family, I always make extra portions of each dish.
Ever since Jiang Wanwan returned to the Jiang family home, the family's meals have improved significantly. They can eat their fill at every meal, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, resulting in everyone in the family having a rosier complexion and gaining weight in their faces.
Everyone ate while chatting quietly.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Uncle Jiang said, "Wanwan, I've already found a carpenter. They've started preparing the wood, and once we start construction, the carpenter will come and make the tables, chairs, stools, cabinets, and other furniture."
In addition, I have chosen pine wood for the beams and timber used to build our house. The order has been placed and will cost a total of twenty-five taels of silver. I have already paid an 8-tael deposit.
Also, we need a lot of stones for the foundation when building the house. These stones are available on the mountain. I think we can hire the villagers to carry the stones down from the mountain, which will bring them some income. They can use that money to buy food, and that way, they can get through the second half of the year. Wanwan, what do you think?
“Uncle, you’re right. We should do everything according to your wishes.” Jiang Wanwan agreed with her uncle’s approach.
Anyway, her plan was to help the villagers earn more money and food, so that when droughts or internal strife occurred, every household would have food and no one would target her.
Even when danger strikes, they can unite to fight back.
