"Oh, your family is rich now, and you can even eat flour." Thinking about how she came to borrow money during the day and was squeezed out by Lu Fanghai, Aunt Lu felt even more sad.

In the years after Old Lu fell ill, the family could not even afford a full meal, but now they can afford to eat white flour.

Aunt Lu turned around and went to Fang's room to talk for a while. In the end, she pulled a little of the pancake from Fang's mouth to taste it. In the end, she glanced at the bottom and took away the uneaten half.

Qiao'er came to her sister-in-law with tears in her eyes and a pursed mouth. Du Wenxiu sighed that Aunt Lu was really shameless and gave Qiao'er a steamed bun.

Qiao'er looked at Lu Fanghai and pushed the food away without daring to take it, fearing that her brother would not bring enough food into the mountains tomorrow.

Du Wenxiu grabbed her hand and forced the food into her hand, saying that there was too much and her brother would not be able to take it all away when he went into the mountains tomorrow morning. Qiao'er then took it and went back to the main hall to eat with Fang, who again scolded her a lot.

After the steamed buns had cooled completely, I picked up a dozen or so and packed them up to give to Lu Fanghai to take tomorrow. He had always said that he didn't need to bring so many.

If they finish eating the baked buns in the mountains, they can kill some pheasants and pick some wild fruits to fill their stomachs. It is better to leave some more at home for them to eat.

"You went into the mountains to make money, so you have to be full before you can make money. If you are hungry and try to catch pheasants, you will be so hungry that you will feel dizzy and your arrows will miss the target. How can you catch them? Besides, we have rice and flour at home, so you can cook whenever you want."

Du Wenxiu said in a delicate and scolding voice.

Lu Fanghai didn't want to argue with her, so he just let her do what she wanted. At worst, he could just go back from the mountains and buy more flour in the town.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the two returned to the house together. Lu Fanghai gently pulled Du Wenxiu's arm and pulled her to the kang. She suddenly became nervous: Is he going into the mountains tomorrow? Tonight he wants to...

Du Wenxiu just thought that he was not ready yet and was wondering how to start the conversation.

Lu Fanghai took something out of his arms, spread it out layer by layer on the kang, and with the moonlight outside the window, Du Wenxiu also leaned closer to take a look.

"Xiuniang, here are fifteen taels of silver and more than six hundred coins. They are the salary I earned in the army. Apart from the money I spent on the way back home and the food I bought in the past two days, the rest is all here."

Du Wenxiu felt a little upset when she heard the honest man's voice.

I just wanted to use him as a support to protect me from the wind and rain. Even if I thought about working hard together to get rich, it was just a helpless act.

It's simply that I have finally come back to life and I don't want to die easily again, so I use this reason to comfort myself, numb myself, and accept the current predicament.

The man's current action shows that he really wants to live with her. After ten years of military service, his salary has been deducted layer by layer, and he probably doesn't have much money left.

He has to go all the way back to Taohua Village from outside, and judging from the way he is dressed, I'm afraid he is reluctant to spend money on the mileage.

I didn't spend much money on food these days, but the little money I had was given to me...

Moreover, his betrothal gift alone cost ten taels of silver...Du Wenxiu seemed to see in the remaining consciousness of his original body the man in ragged clothes who held ten taels of silver and said to his mother with a firm face that he wanted to marry him.

"You... don't think it's too little. I still have some items looted from the enemies. They are worth some money if sold, but I don't have the time to do it now. When I come back from the mountains, if the harvest is not good, I will sell them so that our family can survive the winter. I will also find more work to do and make more money. I will never let you suffer with me all the time."

The man's honest voice rang in my ears.

"Yeah." Du Wenxiu felt his throat was blocked. "I won't spend it recklessly. When you come back, we'll see what we can do to make money. You can keep this change. It can be used in case of emergency. You must be careful in the mountains and pay attention to safety."

"Well. Don't tell mother that she is in love with Aunt Lu. If she accidentally reveals her family background, I'm afraid the whole village will know about it. The family situation is not good now, so take care of your own family first."

"I know. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow." Du Wenxiu pushed him with a smile, thinking that he had to find a safe place to hide the silver tomorrow.

Lu Fanghai got up at daybreak.

"Why so early?" His movement woke up Du Wenxiu, who was sleeping restlessly because of something on his mind.

"I'm going to go pack my things. If they come looking for me, I won't be able to pack them before they finish."

As she was talking, Du Wenxiu turned over and got dressed. Lu Fanghai asked her to continue sleeping, but she laughed and said she couldn't sleep, so she got up to make breakfast and told him to eat a full meal before leaving.

The fungus picked yesterday was almost dry after being dried in the sun for nearly a day. Before going to bed, Du Wenxiu put the fungus in a cloth bag and prepared to pick more today.

Take a handful of fungus from the cloth bag and soak it in hot water.

Then light the stove, add water to the pot, take a bowl and put a small half bowl of white flour in it, add more than half bowl of water, stir it into a paste, sprinkle it in the pot of boiling water, and cook it for a while before eating.

It would be even better if I beat an egg into the soup to make egg drop sweet soup. Du Wenxiu missed the sweet soup she had when she was a child, which she ate every morning and evening.

At this time, the fungus is almost done soaking. Wash it carefully, blanch it in boiling water, take it out, mix it with oil, sprinkle it with salt, and add a little vinegar. It will be a refreshing side dish.

Then take out the baked buns left over from yesterday for mother and daughter from the basket, heat them up, and the meal is ready.

Lu Fanghai had just packed up his things when he saw Du Wenxiu carrying things to the table outside the kitchen, so he hurried over to help.

"Go wash your hands and eat." Du Wenxiu pushed his hand away. He chuckled, went in to wash his hands, and then came out to sit down.

"Is this black thing what we picked yesterday? Can we really eat it?"

Lu Fanghai took a bite of the steamed bun and drank a sip of the soup, but he was a little hesitant about the "dish" in front of him, which smelled appetizing but looked a little hesitant to eat.

"Don't eat it. I'm trying to harm you." Du Wenxiu glanced at him and said this deliberately.

Lu Fanghai grinned and stretched out his chopsticks anyway.

"I used to see this growing on rotten tree stumps, but no one dared to pick it. I heard that some people would get poisoned after eating it, so I couldn't eat it. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. It's crispy, tender and refreshing..."

"Then why are you still eating it? Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death?" Du Wenxiu said with a smile.

Lu Fanghai chuckled: "If you want to poison me to death, I am willing to die."

Although that half piece of cake didn't last him long enough to find the army, it made him feel warm in his heart. Whenever he was in desperate situation, he would think of that little figure.

The slightly sour side dishes were the most appetizing. In a short while, Lu Fanghai finished the plate of black fungus with two steamed buns.

Looking at the three or two pieces of wood ear mushrooms left on the plate, Lu Fanghai felt a little embarrassed.

This cold-mixed black fungus is sour and salty and delicious. The black fungus is crispy, tender and soft. I got carried away and didn't control myself...
