Nongmen Space: A full-level villain dressed as a pitiful girl

Chapter 22 Xi'er is our baby

Xi'er cooks dinner for dinner, hand-cooked noodles and hard-boiled eggs.

Ji Kang could already sit up, so the three of them set up a kang table on the kang, and eating with one more person made the atmosphere different.

Ji Kang ate two full bowls, and he was so full that he burped, and so did Mrs. Luo, only Xi'er ate as usual.

After eating, Ji Kang proposed to live in the warehouse.

Mrs. Luo disagreed, "Our family doesn't come to outsiders, so what kind of warehouse do we live in?"

"Mother, there is a difference between a man and a woman after all. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If people find out, my sister's reputation will be ruined. How can I get married in the future?"

The old lady Luo didn't know why, so she just spit out, "No one will marry her, you marry her, and you and your sister are not related by blood, so what are you afraid of?"

In a word, Ji Kang made a big blush, and Mrs. Luo also felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she dared to admit it.

"What's the matter, can't you? Your sister is good in everything except for a few scars on her face. Mother thinks she is more than worthy of you."

Ji Kang sneaked a glance at Xi'er, saw that she was already asleep on the floor, and probably didn't hear the conversation between the two, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, Xi'er is still young"

"Not too young, she will be twelve after the new year, you think she is small, that's because she was abused by the Li family before"

"No mother, my sister and I have just met, it's too early to say this now"

"Do you dislike her being Li Hu?"

"No mother, she is my savior, how could I dislike her, it's a good thing she doesn't dislike me"

"Anyway, I told you, Xi'er is a good boy, don't regret it"

"Let's talk about it when she grows up."

"Well, I'll find another chance to talk to her about it later, you both know it well"

"Mother, let this matter go with the flow, it's embarrassing to say it."

In fact, Xi'er didn't sleep at all. The reason why she fell asleep was because she was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed.

In this way, a month passed peacefully, and the weather became hotter and hotter, and Xi'er stopped making candy.

At this time, there were also vegetable sellers in the market, and the shopkeeper of Xiangmanyuan no longer asked for vegetables. Xi'er kept a jar of these vegetables and began to expand the area to grow medicinal materials.

But for this flour, she still gave one hundred catties to the noodle shop and the restaurant each in three days, that is, two taels of silver in three days, and 20 taels of silver in a month.

Last month, Mrs. Luo and Xi'er cleaned up the barn and asked the Ma brothers to build a smaller kang for Ji Kang there.

Xi'er bought him two kang cabinets from the town, and Mrs. Luo gave him four sets of clothes, some for spring, some for summer, and shoes, which Xi'er also bought. Double double back.

In June, when the kang was dry, he bought a mat and moved his mattress, quilt and pillows there.

The mother and daughter supported Ji Kang, and then let him live in that house.

Ji Kang looked at the clean room, the new cabinet, the new kang table, and the new clothes, and the man couldn't help crying.

In Ji's house, he was too miserable, no one loves him, no one loves him, he can't finish his work every day, and he can't get enough leftovers every day.

It's all right now, someone finally loves me, or two people love me together.

He has nothing to repay in his life, so he must treat the mother and daughter well.

As for what mother said, he will think carefully about it.

Summer is here, and the mother and daughter can finally go back to bed on the kang.

It’s impossible to sleep separately, it’s too hot, Mrs. Luo and Xi’er have to take off their coats to sleep at night.

Ji Kang is a big man, he can't take off his clothes and go to sleep coolly, neither can the mother and daughter, seeing that he is recovering well, and under his strong request, they let him go to the warehouse where he lives.

Now the bandages outside the wound have been removed, and the surface of the skin has recovered quite well, but the bones inside cannot be put on the ground or exerted force, and must be raised on the kang.

Xi'er was afraid that he would be bored alone in the room, so she found him a job, which was to read and write.

Her Uncle Thomas bought enlightenment books from the city, cheap pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and when she was free, she taught Ji Kang how to read and write.

Ji Kang is very smart and can be taught almost immediately, which surprised Xi'er.

I didn't expect that there was a genius in the family. If I cultivated it well, I might be able to pass the examination for a scholar, or something, so that my mother might have a good time.

Besides, Lao Ma has gradually tasted the sweetness since he started selling sugar. When he is not alive, he sells this in small towns and counties.

Not to mention, through the promotion of Ruyi Restaurant, everyone now knows that this candy can cure diseases, and it is very popular.

Every time Xi'er makes fifty cans, he can deliver candy almost once every six days, five times a month. He earns ten cash for a can, and 250 cans for twenty-five cents, which is more than his son's work for others.

Tianyi Rexi'er stopped making candy, and he asked several times about it, saying it was a pity.

When the weather is good, Xi'er will go to the town to sell medicinal materials, about once every five days, selling tens of catties at a time, and getting two or three taels of silver each time.

Including the money from selling noodles, you can earn 30 taels of silver a month at least.

She was not idle at other times, and she almost paid for all the housework by herself, and only let Mrs. Luo do some light work.

Each meal consisted of four dishes, except that cornmeal was used to make porridge in the morning, and there were either white flour steamed buns, white flour cakes, or white rice at noon and night.

Either scrambled eggs with leeks, scrambled eggs with shallots, or scrambled beans with bacon, or fried loofah with meat, any meal is either meat or eggs, and the little days are very nourishing.

Having nothing to do, she grabbed a vegetable melon and ate it raw, thinking about it while eating.

This zucchini tastes the same as cucumber, that is, one is darker in color and the other is lighter in color. How about making some pickled melons?

As soon as she said it, she picked half of the vegetable melons in the small vegetable garden, washed them and drained them, cut them into long strips, removed the flesh inside, spread them out in a basket, and put them in the sun to dry.

A scorching sun like this can dry up in half a day.

Back in the kitchen, she lit the fire, took out two cans of soy sauce from the space and poured them into the pot, and put peppercorns, star anise, aniseed, fragrant leaves, chili,

After boiling, stop the fire, pour the soy sauce into a large basin and let it cool.

Mrs. Luo was talking with Ji Kang, when she heard the sound of Xi'er tinkering in the kitchen, she grinned.

"Your sister just can't sit still, look, I don't know what to do."

"Sister is smart"

"Xi'er is our baby"

"When my son's legs are healed, my sister tells me to do all the work. You see, our family eats so well, but my sister is still so thin. She has to work and worry. She will definitely not gain weight like this."

"Although your sister hasn't gained weight, she seems to have gained a lot"

"Well, I think it's a bit long"

The content of the conversation between the mother and son was not about Xi'er.

After the sound came, Xi'er put the sun-dried vegetables and melon strips into a big basin with soy sauce, mixed them so that the melon strips were not even in the soy sauce, then put the lid on and started cooking.

To eat cold noodles tonight, she cut a bowl of vegetables and melon shreds, smashed some garlic paste, put vinegar and sesame oil in it, although it is simple, but it is very refreshing to eat in hot weather.

She also put a bowl of pickled cucumbers that had been marinated for half an hour on the table.

"Mother, brother, come and try my new pickles and see if they are delicious"

"What is this dark thing?"

"Cutmelon"

"You pickled it with soy sauce?"

"Yeah, I plan to go outside tomorrow to collect some vegetables and melons, and I'll make some when I get back, and sell them in the town."

"You, I can't stay idle. It's such a hot day, how nice it is to embroider handkerchiefs at home."

"Mom, I'm not interested in that. When it's cold in winter, I won't go anywhere. I promise to embroider handkerchiefs at home."

"What if you suffer from heat stroke? We are not by your side"

"It's okay. I'll go early in the morning and come back when it's cool. I'm not stupid. Try it and see how it goes."
