The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 1

The rooster crowed at dawn, and the morning smoke slowly rose from the chimney. Ning Ci was lying on the bed. She had clearly woken up, but she still couldn't open her eyes.The surroundings are not quiet, sometimes there is the sound of wooden doors opening and closing, sometimes the sound of scooping and splashing water, sometimes the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, and finally, the sound of someone whispering.

Feeling the hot breath on the face, Ning Ci slightly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of his eyes was a chubby face.

Jin Yu poked Ning Ci's face lightly with her chubby little hand, and asked in a low voice, "Second Sister, are you awake?"

Ning Ci's eyes opened slightly, and when she heard Jin Yu's words, she closed them again, Jin Yu panicked, ran out and pulled the eldest sister in: "Eldest sister, second sister woke up just now, but fell asleep again! "

When Jixiang heard her sister woke up, she hurriedly put down her work and went into the room. She anxiously looked at the person on the bed. Although her eyes were still closed, the slightly fluttering eyelashes showed that she was indeed awake.Ji Xiang suppressed tears, and took his younger brother and younger sister outside to let them have a good breakfast, while he went into the house and joined his younger sister.

"Ruyi, are you awake?" Ji Xiang's voice was soft and soft, and she asked very cautiously. Ning Ci closed her eyes, upset, and didn't want to answer. Ji Xiang called her a few more times, but she still didn't answer. Ji Xiang couldn't, She can only comfort her a few more words, she still has a lot of work to do.

Ning Ci opened her eyes again after Jixiang left.

Just a few days ago, she was still thinking hard about how to compete in the North-South Food Competition a month later. She is all the hope of the master. Since she was a child, she gave up studying and devoted all her attention to cooking.For a month in a row, she has been sleepless, trying to impress everyone with some dishes to make up for Master's regrets back then. The man she loves framed her together!

After working for a month, Ning Ci was already exhausted, she rolled down the stairs, and opened her eyes, she was already in this dilapidated thatched cottage!During those few days of being confused, she could vaguely figure out the ins and outs from the memories left in this body—the family name was He, and the head of the family, He Mingde, passed away early, and only relied on his mother, He Yeshi, to raise the four of them. But just a few days ago, even He Ye's family finally became sick from overwork, and died of illness.

Among the four siblings of the He family, all the burdens fell on the eldest sister, He Jixiang. The young Jinyu and Mantang were still young, and the rest of them, Ruyi, had always been weak, sick, and sentimental. Everything is blamed on himself, he is depressed all day long, and soon he will not be able to get sick.

The He family was hit hard, and Jixiang took on the heavy burden, and had to take care of his younger siblings. Ruyi's illness almost cost him his last savings.

Ning Ci didn't know why she woke up in this Ruyi's body, but she must not stay here!She is Master's hope, and she will never let those two traitors succeed, she must go back!Ning Ci didn't know what method to use, maybe, if she died again, she could go back! ?
Unexpectedly, before there was a moment of silence, there was a loud noise outside the house.Ning Ci frowned, still not wanting to pay attention to the noises outside.

Sitting in the main room with a sullen face, He Lishi respectfully and auspiciously handed over a cup of hot water: "Grandma, please drink tea."

He Li snorted coldly, pulled Mantang into his arms, looked at the rice cake in Mantang's hand, and scolded Jixiang: "How do you take care of your brother!? How can you feed him these?"

Jixiang lowered her head and wanted to defend herself, but she knew in her heart that she was wrong.

He Lishi didn't intend to skip the topic like this. She came today because of this little grandson: "Your useless mother has already gone! Could it be that you still have to go with her!? If you go, you will go, sooner or later It's all spilled water, our He family raised you, did we expect anything in return? Look at your brother, A Tang is still so young, you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of him!?"

Mrs. He Li took the rice cakes in Mantang's hand and threw them on the ground, and Jixiang rushed to pick them up - in order to treat Ruyi's illness, the family's money was almost spent, and even the coarse grains were almost gone.Mrs. He Li hugged Mantang up: "From today onwards, Mantang will follow me! The marriage of your three sisters will be decided by me, the grandma!" As he spoke, he was about to take Mantang away.

Since Mantang was born, Jixiang helped He Yeshi take care of him, and his parents have already gone. If even their four sisters can't be together, the family will really break up!With a plop, Jixiang knelt down in front of Mrs. He and Li, and raised his head: "Grandma, please, don't take away the whole house! My mother's bones are not cold, our family can't be separated! Please...please..."

He Lishi lowered his face and pushed Jixiang away. When Mantang saw Jixiang fall, he also started to cry. Jin Yu, who had been hiding aside, also ran over to help Jixiang. He Lishi felt sorry for his grandson, so he quickly put Mantang down to tease him. He reprimanded Ji Xiang: "Cry, cry, cry, cry all day long, your brother follows you, seeing you looking so dejected, can you be okay!?"

"Big sister... I want big sister... I want mother..." Mantang cried out, but He Li was ruthless this time, and she tightened Mantang in her arms: "Why are you crying! Auspicious, today I'm just here to take Mantang away, and if you three sisters want to stay here, I won't stop you, Mantang is the last seedling of your parents, and it's useless for anyone to say it!" Saying that, he took Mantang away directly, auspiciously Crying and chasing after him, Jin Yu also cried and followed, but Man Tang was tightly bound by Mrs. He Li, unable to break free at all.

Mrs. He Li was determined to take Man Tang away. Ji Xiang has always been filial and gentle. He would never fight with Mrs. He Li. In the end, he could only watch Man Tang be carried away.Jin Yu followed behind her, tugging at the corner of her clothes, crying more and more fiercely.Jixiang wiped away her tears, knelt down and coaxed her: "Good boy, Jinyu, the second sister is still resting in the room, let's not disturb her..."

Jinyu is only ten years old, and she and Mantang are only two years apart, so they grew up together and have a very good relationship.Jixiang knew that Jinyu was sad, but Ruyi was still recovering from her illness. She didn't want Ruyi to think about it anymore. Ruyi's health was not good, so she couldn't make Ruyi feel like a burden anymore.

At the door of the West Room, Ning Ci leaned against the door panel, looked through the curtain at the auspicious coaxing gold and jade in the front yard, turned around and went back to bed to lie down.

Looking at the thatched roof, Ning Ci gradually became worried—although she wanted to go back, but if she couldn't, what would she do in the future?
At this end, He Li will bring back the crying Man Tang, and Li Xiu'e has already carried Man Tang over.Mantang didn't like Li Xiu'e, and was still struggling. Li Xiu'e coaxed Mantang gently. After all, Mantang was young and had no mother. Now she was hugged by Li Xiu'e. She smelled good, and Mantang's crying gradually became quieter. I gave him the jujube cake that I had prepared a few days earlier, and the whole room didn't eat breakfast. When I saw the jujube cake, I immediately started eating it.
