When she got home, Guo Yueying opened the cloth bag and saw what was inside. Her heart started pounding.

In the cloth bag, there were five thick candles, thicker than a baby's arm, a large piece of fat, about three pounds of white flour and a large bag of fine white powder.

I don't know what this fine white powder is, but it should be edible if put together with food.

Guo Yueying dipped her finger in a little of the fine white powder, tasted it, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "It's salt!"

She had never seen such good refined salt!

It would take at least two taels of silver to take down this big bag.

And this fat, this flour, and this candle are all excellent things.

"The silly girl is very generous," Guo Yueying said with a sour nose.

In fact, she also knew that the silly girl asked her husband to be a teacher with the intention of helping the Meng family.

Meng Tiechui glanced at the four children and solemnly reminded them, "You must all remember the kindness of Sister Xiaohuai. If she needs any help in the future, you must not refuse."

Several children nodded repeatedly, their eyes all on the white piece of pork. They couldn't help drooling at the thought of the delicious fried pork.

"Dad and Mom, shall we eat meat tomorrow?" As soon as Meng Wuhuan opened his mouth, saliva began to flow out. The saliva fell, forming long, thin, shiny threads.

Meng Tiechui's eyes flashed with heartache, and he touched his head lovingly, "Okay, we'll eat meat tomorrow."

He got a job as a teacher, earning twenty cents a day, which could improve his life.

Meng Wuchou ran into the inner room happily, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandma! We have meat to eat! The big fat meat given by Sister Xiaohuai!"

In the inner room, a house was divided into two parts by a straw curtain. A skinny old man with completely white hair slept on the east side, and another skinny old couple with gray hair slept on the west side.

When the three old men heard that there was meat to eat, a light flashed in their eyes and they couldn't help swallowing.

"Good, the meat is delicious," Master Meng coughed twice and smacked his lips.

"Xiao Huai is a kind-hearted person," Meng's father and mother also showed expectant looks.

Guo Yueying carefully wrapped the five large candles with cloth and said to Meng Tiechui, "Achu, I will go to the county town to sell these candles tomorrow. The money will be just enough to buy medicine for Grandpa and my parents."

Meng Tiechui also felt that it was too extravagant to use such good candles at home, so he nodded and agreed, "And the salt, you can sell half of it."

"Okay," Guo Yueying nodded.

Meng Tiechui then said, "The government prohibits the private sale of salt. Ah Ying, be careful tomorrow."

"Yes, I know," Guo Yueying carefully divided out half of the salt.

Meng Wuzai took out his egg, went to the kitchen, cut it into 7 pieces, and brought it over carefully on a ceramic plate.

"Father and mother, these are the eggs that Sister Xiaohuai gave me. Let's each have a little. Wuchou and Wuhuan, you've already eaten them, so there's no share for you."

Meng Wuchou nodded: "Okay, I won't eat it anymore."

"Yeah," although Meng Wuhuan was so greedy that he wanted to cry, he nodded obediently.

Meng Wuzai fed his parents, then went into the inner room to feed his great-grandfather and grandparents.

Then came myself and my elder brother.

Meng Tiechui also took out the egg that Wubing had given him, divided it into three portions, and said to the four children, "Your great grandfather and grandma are not in good health and need to replenish their bodies. Give them this egg."

The four children nodded obediently, trying their best not to show greedy expressions.

Gu Laosi’s family.

Gu Qinghuai wanted to wash her hair and take a bath. Zhao Ying and Zhou Liuya wanted to help her fetch water, but were stopped by Gu Qinghuai.

A'niang was as thin as a dry branch and had various health problems; Liuya was only eight years old and was already short in stature. After being pressed by the carrying pole, she probably would never be able to grow taller in her lifetime.

So, in the moonlit night, a thin woman with a big belly carried two full buckets of water and ran back and forth between the well and Gu Laosi's house several times.

Her cheerful look made Zhao Ying feel frightened.

Alas, it's all her fault. Blame her for being such a useless mother and letting her daughter suffer like this...

Fortunately, the people in Tuniu Village have poor night vision and seldom go out after dark. Otherwise, seeing this scene would surely shock them to the point of doubting their lives.

Gu Qinghuai didn't feel tired, but the skin on his palms and shoulders was still rubbed raw.

She secretly decided to dig a well in her yard as soon as the new house was built.

Then find a system and buy a water pump to pump water from the well.

She is from the south and is used to washing her hair and taking a bath every day, which uses a lot of water.

There was only a large wooden basin at home. Zhao Ying asked Gu Qinghuai to wash first. After that, she took the two little girls, Qingmiao and Liuya, to wash too.

Finally, Song'er and his elder brother took a bath together.

There is a large bathtub in Gu Qinghuai's space, but he can't take it out now. He can only wait until tomorrow to get through the day.

However, under current conditions, it is not possible for each person to have a large bathtub, and even if one is available, it is shared by the whole family.

Fortunately, there were not so many messy X viruses in ancient times as in later generations, and they were all our own relatives. We could clean them before each use, and then buy a few bottles of disinfectant from the system to spray them, so we could feel at ease psychologically.

Large bathtub

After washing up, Gu Qinghuai took out two sets of linen dresses rewarded by the system, one light red set for himself and the other navy blue set for Zhao Ying.

It was still uncomfortable without loose pajamas or home clothes, so Gu Qinghuai became more determined to earn points.

With more points, she can buy whatever she wants.

Under the moonlight, Gu Qinghuai sat in the yard drying his hair.

Taking advantage of this free time, she planned to sort the rewards in the space into categories.

【Silver】96 taels of silver

[Pills] One detoxification pill, one body-building pill, one skin-beautifying pill exclusive to the host

【Medicinal Materials】Centennial Ginseng

In the space, various items are classified and arranged neatly, which looks much more pleasing to the eye.

"Nubao, what is the effect of the detoxification pills?"

[Host, I strongly recommend that you take the detoxification pills. The detoxification pills can detoxify all kinds of poisons. After taking them, you will become immune to all kinds of poisons. ]

Gu Qinghuai ate it.

"Where are the host's exclusive skin-beautifying pills?"

[Of course, it is a pill that helps the host to have beautiful skin. It can make the host's skin white and tender like sheep fat, firm, smooth and delicate, and bright as peach and plum. However, anything marked as 'host exclusive' will only work on the host. ]
