After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 68 Selfishness
"Go home." Xichun grinned, "I am very happy today."

"Because you played with mud?" Su Nanzhen couldn't help laughing, and squatted down to look at him, "I've played with it too, and I have to test your homework tonight."

"No." When Xichun heard this, his face collapsed, and he drew circles on the ground to play with his temper.

"Xichun, for children like you, you may have to work twice as hard to catch up with them. If you still want to be lazy, you will never catch up with them." Su Nanzhen sighed In one breath, he said earnestly.

Xichun nodded half-understood, sincerely admitted his mistake, "I read."

"Let's go, wash your hands, and get ready to eat." Su Nanzhen smiled, hoping that while he was sensible, he didn't want him to lose his innocence too early, and his mood was somewhat conflicted.

It's not that she doesn't know how to choose between the two, it's that he can easily go from one extreme to the other, making her feel distressed but helpless, the answer she can't give maybe he can find the answer he wants from the words .

The two washed their hands, Xichun helped wipe the table, and Su Nanzhen went into the kitchen to help.

Mrs. Su still cooks vegetarian dishes, lotus root, radish, mushrooms, all stir-fried, but she cooks an egg for Xichun, and Xichun doesn't like meat, so they occasionally buy some meat and make it into minced meat for him to eat.

Originally, he was reluctant to eat eggs and insisted on using them to hatch chicks. He didn't want to eat eggs until she explained to him that not all eggs could hatch chicks.

Seeing Xichun eating eggs happily, Su Nanzhen and Su Niangzi looked at each other and smiled, but after she picked up a lump of fried eggs with leeks, she ate them a bit reluctantly, with less oil and salt, the fried eggs with leeks lost a lot of color.

"Don't waste it." Seeing her like this, Xichun returned her words intact.

Su Nanzhen smiled wryly, "No waste, it's delicious."

"Is it hard to eat?" Su Niangzi tried it, "It's no problem."

"No, mother, we really don't lack money to buy oil and salt." Su Nanzhen reminded feebly, don't save a little.

"We still have to save some money. We have to buy some charcoal for the winter. We're fine. Xichun, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it." Mrs. Su gave her a blank look. She spends money lavishly, and there are many places to spend money in the future. It's on.

Not to mention that she bought a lot of flower pots unexpectedly, no, so far, I have used less than ten of them. Mrs. Su is worried that she will not be able to survive this winter if she spends so much.

"Understood, starting tomorrow I will go into the mountains to prepare firewood for the winter. As for the charcoal, it doesn't matter if I prepare it myself." Su Nanzhen said disapprovingly.

Although the charcoal prepared by myself is not as good as the ones bought outside, it is enough to keep warm. The expensive charcoal costs about three taels of silver a catty, and they still cannot afford it for the time being.

Once or twice is no problem, but one winter can’t bear it, so she plans to make some charcoal by herself for backup, save money, food, charcoal, and cotton clothes.

Su Nanzhen thought about it, and there were quite a lot of things to do, so she told Mrs. Su that she wanted to go to the city, hoping to buy more quilts and cotton clothes.

She had grown up, and her previous clothes were a little short, so she had to buy new ones, and Xichun hadn't prepared winter clothes for him yet.

"You two go, I'll watch the store at home." Su Niangzi didn't want to follow them into the city, since going to the city would cost money, so she just stayed and earned money.

Su Nanzhen has nothing to do with her, but it's fine if she doesn't follow her into the city, no one will stop her as much as she wants to spend.

Thinking of this, she heard her mother tell her not to spend money randomly before she started, Su Nanzhen smiled shyly, and agreed perfunctorily that the money that should be spent must not be less.

With this plan, Su Nanzhen had to go to Gu Shenyi with the cheek again.

Although Pei Songzhi asked him to help her first, Shen Yi had to let her wait for this review. Mrs. Fan fell ill again, so he had to go to a follow-up doctor first.

"Can I ask what disease she has?" Su Nanzhen asked curiously.

"Could the rumors be true? Are you interested in Mr. Fan?" Gu Shenyi was more curious than she was, and didn't know what kind of reaction Pei Songzhi would have if he knew she cared so much about Fan Huaning. Is it the beauty of an adult or...

Gu Shenyi looked at Su Nanzhen's face and shook her head. It's a pity, if she didn't have so many pockmarks on her face, maybe Pei Songzhi might agree with her body, "Don't talk, we are so familiar, don't be embarrassed of."

"Do you think it's possible?" Su Nanzhen gave him a blank look, and didn't want to pay attention to him at first. Seeing that he was talking too much, she couldn't help but talk to him.

"You are self-aware." Gu Shenyi smiled shyly.

"Yes, I have self-knowledge, and I hope you do too." Su Nanzhen sneered.

Unable to continue the conversation, Gu Shenyi smiled awkwardly, and asked her to wait in the thatched hut tomorrow morning on the pretext of going to the doctor.

"Wait." Su Nanzhen remembered Fan Huaning's words, vaguely guessed his mother's illness, and had an idea in his mind, "I heard that Mr. Fan has a younger sister?"

"Yes, what exactly do you want?" Gu Shenyi became impatient.

"Ask them if they are willing to come to my place to help, and the salary is negotiable." Su Nanzhen said quickly, "Actually, I had such an idea early in the morning, but I didn't think of a suitable candidate.

Sometimes I want to go away, but I am worried that my mother will stay there alone. It would be best if they are willing to help, please ask for help. "

"Okay." Gu Shenyi readily agreed, but looked at her suspiciously.

Su Nanzhen allowed him to scrutinize him generously. If she said she had selfish intentions, it was probably because she wanted Fan Huaning to have no worries. A talented person who could be favored by Mr. Han should have a chance to be the champion, and she didn't want Duan Silang to have this opportunity.

Back in the thatched cottage, it was full of guests, Mrs. Su was about to go to find her, now that she came back to cook, she still had to come and greet the guests by herself.

Su Nanzhen took a look at them and went into the kitchen to get busy, and quickly cooked two tables of meals.

Their accents sound like grain merchants. With so much grain shipped out, the price of grain in Baihua Town should rise again. Su Nanzhen put down the last dish, walked up to Su Niangzi and pretended not to care, but pricked up his ears Listen to their chat.

The price of grain in the place they were going to was nearly twice as expensive as that in Baihua Town. Su Nanzhen was stunned, thinking that he had to prepare some more grain when he went to the county seat tomorrow.

After they left, Su Niangzi was also a little worried, "Do you think our food will be so expensive?"

"It shouldn't be. I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy some more. It shouldn't be a big problem to survive this winter." Su Nanzhen thought for a while, and then said.

Although it was still not available at that time, Mrs. Shen still bought food from other places to calm the problem of rising food prices. What she was more worried about was that Fan Huaning's family would not accept her kindness.
