Chapter 93 Curfew
When Bai heard this, he picked up the clothes in his hand and patted Jiang Jinyu on the back angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much."

"Don't use these things then."

"As the old saying goes, if you are poor and want to be rich, you would rather be tired now than..."

Jiang Jinyu didn't like hearing this nagging, so she picked up little brother Jiang and walked out: "Then you take your time to pack up. I'll take my brother to my room first!"

In fact, Jiang Jinyu's room was also being tidied up. The bedding that was usually used to cover the kang was gone, leaving only a thin layer of quilts and a tent hung securely on top.

There were also a few bamboo baskets on the ground, with some scattered things inside. Although the room was a bit messy, it was much better than Bai's place.

Jiang Jinyu put Little Brother Jiang on the kang and made a circle with pillows and baggage to prevent him from falling down when he woke up later. She turned around and continued to pack the things she wanted to take away.

Compared with Mr. Bai who has to take charge of the daily chores of a family and must consider everything carefully, it is much simpler for Jiang Jinyu, a little girl who doesn't have to worry about anything, to pack things.

The clothes have already been packed and put away, and the few bundles this morning are the clothes that their family usually wears.

Jiang Jinyu rummaged around in the cabinet, and when she found the things she wanted to take away, she put them in the bamboo basket. If she didn't need them, she left them in the cabinet temporarily.

The mother and daughter spent most of the day going through everything in the house, and the things they were going to take away were piled into a small mountain on the ground.

Jiang Mingshun rushed back in the middle of the afternoon. If he was alone, it would be later, but this time he had to take his wife and children with him. He was worried that it would be unsafe at night, so he hurriedly finished the work after delivering the things in the morning. As for the rest, I had a hasty lunch and ran home without stopping.

Jiang Mingshun loaded his things into the carriage and urged: "Move quickly. If you leave early, you can arrive before dark."

The mule cart was packed to the brim, and Jiang Jinyu was helplessly stuck among a pile of luggage, holding a large iron pot with a lot of things in it.

She weakly stopped Bai: "Mom, stop stuffing me. If you stuff me more, you won't be able to sit down."

"No more stuffing." Bai put down the things in his hands and looked regretfully at the baskets of things still on the ground: "It can't be stuffed anymore."

Jiang Jinyu took a breath and said happily: "Let dad come back and get it another day."

Jiang Mingshun handed Little Brother Jiang to the seat he had just sat in, led the mule cart to the door, and locked the door: "I should be able to take them all away if I come back tomorrow."

Hurrying all the way and slowly, we finally entered the county seat when the city gate closed.This is the disadvantage of driving a mule cart. If you want to go to the dock, you have to take a detour from the city gate, which is far more convenient than not being able to row a boat.

If it weren't for carrying luggage, Jiang Mingshun would usually take a boat.

After entering the courtyard, Lu Ertie hurried out and greeted Bai: "Sister-in-law!"

Bai knew about Lu Ertie, and even though it was the first time she saw him, she smiled and nodded to him.

"Uncle Ertie!" Jiang Jinyu called with a smile.

She is particularly pleased with Lu Ertie now, for no other reason than that, under Lu Ertie's careful care, the first batch of mushroom bags planted in her family have already grown several small white fungus!

This is what Jiang Mingshun told her a few days ago. Jiang Jinyu looked at the back of the yard with itch, eager to know how big those white fungi were now.

It's a pity that now is not the time, their family doesn't have a decent place to live yet!

Jiang Mingshun and Lu Ertie unloaded the luggage from the mule cart together, while Jiang Jinyu took Bai to the house that was used as the main house.

"Cough, cough, cough." As soon as the door was pushed open, the two of them were choked by the dust and coughed.

"No," Bai took a step back, covering her nose and said, "We have to go get a bucket of water first."

"Fish Girl, do you know where to get water?" Bai turned to ask Jiang Jinyu, who was also running back with his sleeves covering his face.Although she had bought the house several months ago, this was her first time here, and she really had a dark eye on it.

Jiang Jinyu reached out and pointed back: "There is a well behind."

This house was originally used as an inn business, and water was indispensable for everything, so even though it was right by the river, the previous owner dug a deep well in the yard.

A few people cleaned up and cleaned up, and finally packed up two habitable houses at the beginning of Haishi.

The kitchen is not that messy, after all, Lu Ertie has been using it these days, but he is a man after all, and he is not good at cooking. He usually saves as much trouble as possible when eating.

Therefore, the current breakfast is just barely enough.

Bai took the things she brought from her kitchen, carefully arranged them and planned to make dinner.

She held the basin and looked around blankly, but couldn't find anything to start with.

"Master," Bai found Jiang Mingshun who was feeding the mules: "We didn't bring any rice or noodles!"

"Is it available for sale around here?"

"Hey," Jiang Mingshun slapped his forehead regretfully and scolded himself, "I forgot that there is a curfew in the city!"

"We can't go out now."

Jiang Jinyu, who had followed Bai to find Jiang Mingshun to get the key, was immediately petrified. She was planning to go out for a walk!

She has lived in the village for these years, working at sunrise and returning at sunset every day. Except for the Lantern Festival, she has not stayed overnight for a long time.

Now hearing what Jiang Mingshun said, Jiang Jinyu finally remembered that there was such a thing as a curfew.

She thought with great sadness, there will be no nightlife from now on?
Jiang Jinyu returned to the kitchen with a desolate heart.

Unexpectedly, the saddest thing was yet to come. Since they didn't bring any food and couldn't go out to buy it now, they had to borrow food from Lu Ertie.

But Lu Ertie's family is just an ordinary farmer's family, and they eat mostly millet, yellow rice, and flour mixed with wheat bran. For example, what he brought here this time was millet that was just collected from the fields last fall. rice.

Jiang Jinyu hasn't eaten this food for several months. Since they moved out of their old house, except for the first few days, all they eat at home is rice and white flour.

Jiang Jinyu, who was already used to it, swallowed hard, and would cough from time to time due to the rough surface of the millet.

Mrs. Bai patted her daughter's back distressedly and said softly: "Mom, can I make millet porridge for you?"

Jiang Jinyu swallowed a mouthful of rice with difficulty, put down his chopsticks, and said listlessly: "Forget it, I won't eat anymore, I'm going to bed."

It wasn't all due to eating. She had gotten up early this morning, and it was already past her usual bedtime, so she really couldn't hold on anymore.

Jiang Mingshun saw that his daughter's eyelids were about to stick together as she spoke, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and picked up Jiang Jingyu: "Daddy will take you to bed."

Bai Shi was a little worried: "You're going to bed without eating something?"

"Forget it," Jiang Mingshun lowered his voice: "You won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

"I'll go out early tomorrow to buy some steamed buns, and let the fish girl get up to eat them then."
