The carriage arrived directly at the gate of the women's dormitory and the two got off.

After Lin Jiaojiao greeted Lin Xiumei, Lin Xiumei took some notes in a notebook and then took Qiu Xilan to get her daily necessities.

Qiu Xilan carried her own bucket, and Lin Jiaojiao helped her get a basin. They walked towards Room 101, which was Lin Fen's room. After opening the door with the key and putting her things away, they walked out together and locked the door.

"Thank you, Boss. I will go back tonight and tell my family. I will come again tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm not used to you calling me boss all of a sudden."

"Hahaha, you'll get used to it, boss."

Lin Jiaojiao sent Qiu Xilan onto the carriage and watched it leave. She thought that at this time, Lin's father and the others should have gone to pick chestnuts again.

When they set out in the morning, Lin Yizhi told her that they would go to pick chestnuts this afternoon, and asked her that if she came back early, she should have a good rest at home and not go looking for them.

She first went to the bakery's warehouse, opened the door with her key and made sure there was no one inside, then went into the house and closed the door.

Inside, there were custom-made boxes and cabinets neatly arranged. The boxes were filled with white flour and mung beans, while the cabinets were filled with pottery jars.

After she exchanged a large amount of white sugar, rock sugar, milk powder, yeast, honey and salt, she took out the warehouse account book and recorded the newly exchanged quantities. This warehouse was given to Lin Yizhi for safekeeping and record keeping. She asked for this book last night.

In fact, she could feel that other people in the family had noticed something strange, but they chose to turn a blind eye and keep silent. They accepted whatever she told them.

After I had packed up my things, I opened the door, locked it, and rushed home. When I got home, I found that the door was locked and no one was home.

She went to the kitchen and got a bamboo basket and put it on her back. She was also going to pick chestnuts. She couldn't sit still now, mainly because it would be too boring to do nothing without a mobile phone or entertainment facilities.

Just as she was about to lock the kitchen door, she heard someone calling her at the gate.

"Jiaojiao."

She turned her head and saw a petite man with plain face. There were still some bruises on his face, but he was looking at her with joy in his eyes.

She frowned slightly. The original owner remembered meeting this man once or twice. He was the man who often brought meals to her mother from the field next to her home. Because the man's eyes were too passionate, the original owner felt uncomfortable and looked back, wanting him to stop.

After the man did not appear again, the original owner felt at ease.

It seems that he is the former owner's admirer, and the bruises on his face make it seem that he is a married man who was abused.

"Hey, don't call me Jiaojiao. If you want to call me that, use my full name. You're married now, so you should pay attention to your reputation."

"it is good…"

Sure enough, Jiaojiao still cares about him.

She watched him lower his head shyly, feeling the atmosphere was awkward, and quickly asked, "What do you want?"

"I...I want to sell some eggs..."

"As for eggs, go to the men's dormitory on the farm. Dormitory manager Peng Yupeng is collecting them."

Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Lin Jiaojiao locked the door and walked towards the gate. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Just as she passed by him, he suddenly grabbed her sleeve, which frightened her so much that she shook it off and took a few steps back.

Because of her impulsive action, the basket of eggs in his hand lost its balance and fell to the ground, with most of the eggs inside broken.

She held her forehead and asked, what is going on?

Seeing the man looking at her with innocent eyes as if he was about to cry, she sighed inwardly, roughly counted the number of eggs in the basket, took out ten cents from her purse and handed it to him.

"I'm sorry, but you shouldn't just pull someone's sleeve. I'll give you the ten cents as compensation."

He held the ten cents in his hand against his chest and watched Lin Jiaojiao leave with joy. It turned out that she treated him differently.

Lin Jiaojiao quickly put the matter behind her and ran straight to the back mountain.

When they arrived at the place, they found that there were quite a lot of people. When she came, the older people all surrounded her to greet her and wanted to give her everything they had picked up. She quickly refused and asked them if they had seen Lin's father and others. They all said that Lin's father and others had gone to the innermost part.

After expressing her gratitude, she quickened her pace and walked into the mountains. Not long after she walked, she saw Lin Yiyan, who also saw her.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

"I want to pick up some chestnuts, too, so I came to find you."

She walked up to him and asked him to pour the chestnuts in the basket into her bamboo basket. He did it with a smile on his face. He was just thinking that she would be home soon, but he didn't expect her to appear in front of him.

Later she learned that Lin's father and others were picking mushrooms at the upper level, so she and Lin Yiyan went up to pick them together. She also picked up some mushrooms on the way and put them all in his basket.

After meeting up with Lin's father, the group picked chestnuts for another half an hour. After returning home, Lin Yizhi and Zhou Xiaofeng went to the bakery first, while the others sat in the yard together peeling chestnuts.

After she saw that she had peeled a basket of chestnuts, she poured them directly into a basin of clean water to wash and soak them for about a quarter of an hour. After soaking, she called Zhao Yang to help her cut the chestnuts.

After cutting, she poured it into a pot, added sugar and cooked it for a quarter of an hour, took it out and put it into a iron plate pan, poured in the melted lard and stirred evenly, put it into the already fired kiln and baked it for a quarter of an hour, took it out and evenly spread honey on it, and put it into the kiln to bake for another quarter of an hour.

"Sister Jiaojiao smells so good, Feifei can already smell it."

Lin Jiaojiao looked at Lin Fei who had been following her. She squatted down and picked him up. She found that these children had gained a lot of weight, and Zhou Xiaofeng was also controlling his diet. After all, boys are not like girls. It would be unapproachable if they were fat.

She was embarrassed that she had started to look at others at such a young age, but she thought chubby children were very cute.

"It will be ready soon. How many do you want to eat, Feifei?"

Lin Fei looked at the bread oven and thought seriously, "Eat three. Dad said I can't eat more."

She thought Lin Fei’s frowning face was so cute that she really wanted to kiss him, but she held back and pinched his little face with her hand.

Lin Fei covered his little face, "Sister Jiaojiao, you pinched Feifei's face again. Dad said that the face cannot be touched by others. Only Feifei's future wife can touch it."

"Fei Fei wants to get married at such a young age?"

Lin Fei looked outside the door and saw that no one was paying attention to this side. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Well, I want to marry Sister Jiaojiao, so that Feifei can eat a lot of delicious food."

She looked at Lin Fei's serious expression and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. After putting him down, she put on super thick gloves and took out the iron plate pot from the kiln. The gloves were made by Lin's father.

She poured the roasted chestnuts from the iron pan into a winnowing basket and took it out. Just then, Lin Yizhi and the others came back, so she hurriedly greeted them.

"Yizhi, Uncle Zhou, you guys are back just in time. Come and try some freshly roasted chestnuts."
