Lin Yiyan was sitting at the dinner table. When he saw his father coming back, he didn't want to come out to eat. However, Lin Yizhi kept asking him to go out to eat, saying that there were some extra ingredients that smelled delicious.

Looking at the three dishes on the table, each of which was attractive in color and exuded the aroma of meat, he swallowed silently. This was better than what he had eaten during the Chinese New Year in previous years.

"Brother, try it quickly. The green and red ones in these two plates of fried meat are bell peppers, and the white ones are garlic. They are all extra food that my wife brought back."

He listened to the excited chattering sounds in his ears, and looked up at Lin Jiaojiao who was sitting opposite him with puzzlement.

Lin Jiaojiao felt her scalp tingling when he stared at her. She repeated what she had said to Lin's father and Lin Yizhizi before, then looked at Lin Yiyan nervously.

Lin Yiyan just hummed lightly, then picked up the chopsticks and started to taste it.

He picked up a piece of yellow bell pepper, which had a strange taste with a hint of sweetness, and then picked up a small piece of lean meat. After adding these ingredients, the meat became less fishy and more tender and delicious.

"good to eat."

"Right, right, brother. This bell pepper is quite sweet. I have left some seeds. I will try to plant them in the fall."

Lin Jiaojiao ate the corn in the bowl with sweet peppers and meat. It was so delicious. This was what people should eat. Look at what she had been eating before, which was pig food.

She picked up another piece of oil residue. This was her first time eating it. Her eyes lit up. It was crispy and not greasy at all. It could be used as a snack.

Not long into the meal, she noticed that the other three people started taking a few bites of the food and then stopped touching the food on their plates.

She remembered the local custom that men in most families were not allowed to eat at the table, but the original owner had lived here since she was a child, and her own family did not have this custom.

Alas, I sighed in my heart.

"Dad, you all eat. No need to leave any for me. I have enough. We'll all eat together from now on. If you don't eat, then I won't eat either." As he spoke, he picked up the big piece of meat and passed it from Lin's father to Lin Yizhi one by one.

"Ahem, Jiao'er, this is not appropriate..."

"Dad, just listen to me. I'm grown up now. I used to be quiet and didn't know how to express myself. Now I'm married, and I will let you live a good life. You have to believe me. Don't worry, you will eat better in the future. Just eat with peace of mind and eat more."

Lin Jiaojiao made a rosy promise. No one could predict what the future would hold, but with her around, the food would definitely get better and better. Even if others were wronged, one should not let down one’s own stomach.

"Okay, I believe my wife."

Lin Yizhi took the lead in expressing his opinion and looked at her with trust.

Father Lin wanted to say something but stopped himself, while Lin Yiyan kept his head down and ate the food in his bowl.

Although she made her words clear, they still didn't touch the food much. She was the only one who prepared the whole meal, and her hands were sore from picking up food from time to time.

When I returned to the house to rest after dinner, I found that I had gained 2 points.

Does this work?

...

After being busy for a week, Lin Jiaojiao worked hard to earn points and finally saved 53 points, which she exchanged for thirteen boxes of soap.

She got up very early today, as she was going to the city, and was particularly excited. After having breakfast, she packed her luggage, put on her back the bag containing ten boxes of soap, and prepared to set off.

"Jiao'er, is it reliable?" Father Lin had used the soap given by Lin Jiaojiao last night. It was very easy to use and smelled good after washing.

Lin Jiaojiao said she went to the city to help her friend sell soap, and if the sales were good, she would get some commission.

"Dad, don't worry. The money from the sale is with me. It's reliable."

Father Lin was still a little worried. No deposit was required, and it was like pie in the sky. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"Ahem, how about Dad go with you?"

"No need, Dad. Don't worry."

She quickly changed the subject: "Dad, do you guys have anything to bring?"

"My dear wife, there is nothing you need to take with you. Please be careful on your way." Lin Yizhi also looked at her with a worried look on his face.

"Then I'll leave." Lin Jiaojiao turned and left.

Before approaching the village entrance, Lin Jiaojiao had already seen a lot of people sitting on the ox cart beside the village entrance.

She quickened her pace, fearing that she would not have room to sit down if it was too late.

"Jiao Jie'er, are you going to town?"

"Yes, Aunt Lin, is there any room left?"

"Hey? Yes, yes, please squeeze in."

"Thank you, everyone." Lin Jiaojiao paid the fare and sat in the empty seat, only to find that the person sitting next to her was Lin Shen. Although he was wearing a veil, she still recognized his figure at a glance.

"Jiao Jie'er is different now that she's married. She can even speak now."

"That's right, it's true that it's different when you have a family."

"Yes…"

Lin Jiaojiao listened to the teasing of the group of aunties on the ox cart and smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Shen, are you going to deliver something to your sister again?" asked the aunt sitting opposite Lin Shen.

"Ah."

Lin Jiaojiao saw that the topic turned to Lin Shen next to her, so she turned her head to take a look. Because of the veil, she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only see that he was wearing a black coat with patches of varying shades, and he was holding a large gray bag in his hands.

Lin Shen's younger sister is the treasure of the family. She was sent to the academy in the city to study since she was young. She is also very hardworking and has achieved good results. She is sixteen years old this year and is preparing for the examination for the scholar. She is the hope of their whole family and the whole village.

"Lin Yun looked like a talented girl when she was young. You will be the elder brother of Xiucai in the future."

"Yes, when I was a kid, I looked like Wenquxing descended to earth."

Lin Jiaojiao's ears are almost callused from listening to these aunties talking all the time. Why are the aunties in this world of female dominance also so gossipy?

Along the way, Lin Jiaojiao looked at the scenery along the way and sighed in her heart that everything seemed so unreal and she had actually traveled through time like this.

It took her an hour to reach the town. She first went to the cosmetics shop in the town, but did not see any bath beans. There were only soapberries and soapberries, and their prices were similar, all around one hundred coins.

She asked the clerk if they had bath beans, but was told that the price of bath beans was one or two taels of silver and above, and that ordinary people rarely afford them. The clerk also looked down on Lin Jiaojiao.

Lin Jiaojiao's expression remained unchanged, but she was calculating in her mind.

She quickly found a place to take an oxcart to the city. It was not that she could not afford a horse carriage, but that she had no money. The few coins she found under the bed were from her. The original owner really had no money at all.

After paying a penny to the cowherd, they set off when the cart was almost full.

After driving for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Jiaojiao saw Lin Shen's figure on the side of the road, walking quickly with a bag on his back.

Lin Jiaojiao was speechless for a while. An ox cart only cost one cent. Well, she couldn't afford to ride it without the money from the original owner.

"Lin Shen."

The person who was traveling ahead stopped and turned around to look at Lin Jiaojiao sitting on the ox cart through the veil with confusion.

"It's really you. Come up quickly. I'll ask you to sit down. The sooner you arrive, the sooner you can send it to your sister."

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

The ox cart stopped in front of him, and the cowherd was happy to earn an extra penny, but Lin Shen did not move. He said indifferently: "No need."

Because the ox cart stopped and people didn't get on, some time was wasted, and the passengers and the cowherd began to complain.

Lin Jiaojiao looked embarrassed. She thought that since they were from the same village, she brought the modern social etiquette here, but she forgot that this was a world where women were dominant.

However, the car did not move, so she could only say with a stiff face, "Come on up."

Seeing that the cowherd was determined not to leave unless he got on, Lin Shen had no choice but to get on the bus and sit in the empty seat next to Lin Jiaojiao.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."
