Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 776 collect items

"It’s okay, not a straightforward one-plus-one equals two. Many aspects are quite convenient."

"I don’t have your skill to raise two kids."

"Once you have two together, you can raise them."

"That’s true. After all, they’re your own children. Even if it’s tiring, you’re willing."

"It’s just that the timing of when the child appeared was right. If it were now, I definitely wouldn’t raise one."

"Just afraid that raising them up might be for nothing."

"Doesn’t matter, I’m not expecting anything."

The two chatted quietly, Shi Xian slowly closed his eyes.

When both of them fell asleep, the two came out.

Old Yang handed Zhao Xiaoli a watermelon and asked her to sit down and eat.

"Are you staying for dinner tonight?"

"Sure, your braised meat is just too delicious."

Jiang Xinyu laughed, "Tonight we’re having white rice, steamed intestines, and cucumber pig ears salad. Also, pig head meat and vermicelli sausage."

"Great, so sumptuous. I remember Xiao Jiang’s vermicelli sausage being particularly tasty."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Wei Kaiyun went to open it. "My sister-in-law’s here, come in and sit."

"No, here’s the tofu I made today, bringing it for you to try."

Jiang Xinyu heard the commotion and came out immediately.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much. I’ve been craving tofu. When do you have time to teach me?"

"It’s nothing, just let me know a day in advance when you’re free. The next day, I’ll make it and you can watch. You’ll get it right away."

"Okay, does it require a stone mill?"

"Yes, if your family wants to use it, just move it from my house."

"That’s too troublesome. Where did you buy your stone mill, sister-in-law? I’ll go buy one too."

"The family that delivers stones makes these. When you have time, I’ll take you to check it out."

"Great, I’ll find you when I have time to go with me."

Jiang Xinyu took the tofu out of the basin and gave Qu Xiaoli some seaweed.

"Sister-in-law, eat more of this, it’s good for your health."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

"No need to be formal."

Jiang Xinyu sent away Qu Xiaoli, smiling, "Tonight we have another dish—spicy tofu."

The two men sat in the yard, Zhao Xiaoli and Jiang Xinyu were in the kitchen.

It’s still early, just preparing things.

"I’m really envious of you."

"Envious of what?"

"Everything." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Haha, you can live like this too."

Wei Kaiyun went down to the cellar, picked up two large watermelons, and Old Yang each carried one out.

"Jiang Xinyu, aren’t you curious what they’re doing?"

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "I never ask about his things. I have my own matters to deal with, I’m too busy to pay attention to his affairs because I trust him. He definitely won’t do anything to betray us."

"I’m not like you, but we have one thing in common. I don’t care what he does. It’s not that I don’t have time, but like you, I trust him."

"Xiaoli, that’s the right way. You’re husband and wife, since Old Yang married you, he will definitely treat you well."

"Yes, I know. I’m just like a parasitic vine, depending on my man for life."

"That’s not a bad thing either. There are countless ways to live, so as long as you feel happy, that’s good."

"Yes, I feel very happy."

Jiang Xinyu found her candied chestnuts, "You should eat more chestnuts, they’re good for the baby. They contain iron, nourishing the blood."

"Sister-in-law Wu peeled them for me to cook, but they didn’t taste like much."

"Try eating them like this, you just have to peel them yourself."

After a while, Shang Zhenkun and Sister-in-law Liu returned with three kids. Jianbin had a basket with carrots inside.

This was the second time picking cotton. What’s left can wait until the weather gets cold, when the cotton stems dry, they can be pulled up directly, and the remaining cotton balls can be picked at home.

Sister-in-law Liu tidied up and started cooking dinner.

When the food was almost ready, Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang returned.

They ate dinner directly in the yard.

"Xiao Jiang, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you make mooncakes?"

"Yes, but I don’t have molds."

"I’ll find some. Make more, I’ll share them with my brothers."

"No problem."

Zhao Xiaoli truly envies Jiang Xinyu, "I will learn from you too."

"No problem. I’ll teach you."

Dinner was exceptionally abundant, everyone ate very satisfied, the three kids especially enjoyed the spicy tofu. Jiang Xinyu knew there were elderly and children at home, so she didn’t put too much chili, just enough for the flavor. Even Zhao Xiaoli ate quite a bit.

"Mom, are we making tofu ourselves?"

"Sure, tomorrow your dad will go buy the stone mill. I was planning to go myself, but since you’re eager, let your dad run it."

"Mom, I want to drink soy milk." Jiang Feifei said with a big smile.

"Aunt Jiang, I want to eat tofu pudding."

"Okay, I’ll fulfill all your desires, you’ll surely be satisfied."

"Xiao Jiang, I can also make soy cheese and stinky tofu."

"Great, I’m not a fan of stinky tofu, but soy cheese is a must. It’ll come handy during winter when eating porridge, so we won’t have to always have pickles."

"Make more, prepare some for our family too."

"Sure, no problem."

Jiang Xinyu found bedding and placed it on the newly built house’s kang. Wei Kaiyun was already helping with the fire.

When it got dark, Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun left together.

"Xiaoli, if you’re scared, come stay with Sister-in-law Liu. I have kids here, might disturb you."

"Okay, I’ll sleep with Sister-in-law Liu."

Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun contacted for coal, arranged for delivery tomorrow night. They ordered ten tons directly.

Wei Kaiyun needs five tons, Old Yang needs three tons, the remaining two tons will be stored at Wei Kaiyun’s place for Shuanzi and the others to use.

Then they directly brought back ten guns and two large boxes of bullets.

There were also four boxes of jewels, gold, and silver. They split them half and half. Since it was already moved, they just took everything out to avoid being discovered.

They returned in the middle of the night. Old Yang knew his wife was sleeping soundly, so he didn’t wake her up and went to sleep himself.

The next day, Jiang Xinyu knew Old Yang and the others wouldn’t return, so she made bread as Zhao Xiaoli requested.

The two women didn’t bother with what the men were doing, but Jiang Xinyu knew there were now two boxes of good stuff at home.

Jiang Xinyu herself drove to bring Qu Xiaoli and Zhao Xiaoli to buy the stone mill.

The stone mill was quite small, and Zhao Xiaoli liked it, so she bought two.

As for other things, Jiang Xinyu also fancied a stone vat, but it had to be delivered.

The three women also bought garlic crushers; the craftsmanship was exquisite, just liked them.
