Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

The ice cream seller took the money and left happily, but A Luo frowned.

"When did our family become so wealthy that we even have to use ice? Xiuniang really doesn't know how to live."

"Aunt, don't say so much. Isn't the purpose of earning money to spend it?"

Du Wenxiu said happily as she looked at the neatly stacked ice in the cellar.

A Luo looked unhappy and kept nagging her about spending money too lavishly.

Du Wenxiu ignored her and asked the Fan family's servant to pack some ice and take it to Fan Zhao.

"Just tell them it's for the master, mistress, and children, and tell them not to be shy. We have one in every room now."

When Qi Sanniang heard the commotion outside, she also carried Haisheng out to enjoy the cool air. She saw A'luo with a dark face and looked unhappy.

Then I stood at the entrance of the cellar, and felt a cold breath hit me. Looking at the cellar full of ice, I couldn't help but ask:

"Are we rich enough to make ice now?"

Du Wenxiu took Haisheng from her hands and said with a smile: "Even if I am not rich, I don't want to live in humiliation. Since I can afford it, I will buy it and use it."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but Xiao Haisheng's fair skin doesn't have any prickly heat, which shows Qi Sanniang's care.

But her face looked a little depressed, with obvious dark circles under her eyes, but I didn't even notice it.

Du Wenxiu felt a little guilty.

The money had been spent, and A Luo knew that it would be useless to say more, so he went to the kitchen with a gloomy face to get some food.

Du Wenxiu followed him in, but she ignored him.

Du Wenxiu walked around her with a smile and said:

"Aunt, look at how bad Aunt Qi's face looks. If she stays like this for the whole summer, Haisheng might be fine, but she will collapse. If you don't feel sorry for her, who will?"

A Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Then just put it in your Aunt Qi's room. Don't let everyone have one in their room, it won't be wasted."

"That's great. Then you might as well move in and sleep with Aunt Qi. It will save more money this way." Du Wenxiu said with a smile.

A Luo thought about it carefully and nodded: "That's right, why not ask Chan Er to move in and sleep with you, and your Aunt Qi and I will take Hai Sheng to sleep in Chan Er's east wing."

After hearing this, Du Wenxiu did not refute her, saying that as long as Du Wenchan agreed, she had nothing to say.

"I'm fine, I'm just afraid that my sister will think I'm not sleeping well." Unexpectedly, Du Wenchan just got up and came in to get some water to wash up. When she heard it, she spoke.

Du Wenxiu smiled at her and said, "If you are not quiet when you sleep and are afraid of kicking me, why don't you sleep on the small couch in my room? That would be appropriate."

Du Wenchan happily agreed.

Qiuyue said weakly, "Grandma, can I sleep on the floor in your room? If you need to get some water or get up at night, it would be more convenient for me to serve you."

Du Wenxiu stroked her smooth black hair. In just a few months, her originally frizzy yellow hair had become so good.

"You feel hot at night, so bring Qiuyun here and let her sleep on the floor."

Qiuyue smiled widely and nodded vigorously.

What a nice host! Not only did they eat well and sleep well, but they also allowed them to sleep in a house with ice in the summer.

When I think back to when I was at home, I just shared a bed with my parents and younger brother. On cool summer nights, the whole family would spread mats in the yard and sleep.

It's not hot anymore, but I'm still covered in mosquito bites all over my body and face.

After finishing the work at hand, he hurried out to look for Qiuyun. After hearing this, the two little girls were very happy and came over hand in hand to kowtow to Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu hurriedly stopped them, scolding them with a smile: "You disappeared when I turned my head just now, and I thought you were going to the front yard to deliver food, but I didn't expect you to gossip with others. You really deserve to be beaten."

"Don't be angry, grandma. We will eat less and work more in the future." Qiuyue laughed crisply. Qiuyun, who was young and couldn't speak, just nodded repeatedly.

Du Wenxiu was even more amused and helpless: "Don't be so talkative. If you don't eat enough, you won't grow taller. What kind of work can I ask you to do?"

"Hurry up and eat your meal, then go to Grandma Zhao's house next door and ask her if she is free today. I want to talk to her about something."

The two of them then went to the kitchen hand in hand to eat, and Mrs. Fan came over with Qiao'er to express their gratitude.

"I heard that ice is very expensive. Even if you make some money now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to afford it." Mrs. Fan looked embarrassed.

"Since we've bought the ice, we should use it at home. Every household has to live this way. We can handle it, so why are we using such expensive ice?"

"Don't refuse, madam. Just listen to me." Du Wenxiu put his hand on her arm and asked her to sit down in the yard.

"I made some money before, but I didn't dare to show off my wealth. Now that my wife and husband are here to take charge of my family, I dare to buy such a luxurious item. This is one of the reasons."

"My father-in-law and his wife are old, but Hui Jie'er is still young. The weather this year is hotter than in previous years. If she gets a heat stroke, not only will she suffer, but she will also spend a lot of money."

As he spoke, Du Wenxiu acted aggrieved and covered his eyes with a handkerchief.

"With this in mind, the ice is worth buying."

"Besides, I have already bought it. If my wife still refuses, it will make me look ignorant. It is really me who has done a good deed, but no one thinks highly of me."

Mrs. Fan said hurriedly, "That's not what I meant. I just thought that it's not easy for you to earn money, so you should spend less if you can."

"Just buy these ices and use them for your own use. Why don't you send them to us?"

Du Wenxiu looked at Mrs. Fan sincerely and said:

"What you said, Madam. My daughter Qiaoer married into the Fan family, and Madam treated her like her own daughter. So what if I was just being a little filial to her?"

"Madam, please don't say these things again. It makes it seem like our two families are not close."

Hearing her eloquent words, Mrs. Fan had no choice but to agree. She said that she would only bring some in her room for Hui Jie'er to use, and that the ice could last for a long time.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "If Qiao'er can't stand it, she can come back to our room and sleep on the floor."

These words attracted some ridicule, and the courtyard became very lively for a while.

After seeing Mrs. Fan off, Du Wenxiu remembered something and told Qiuyue to find a cart. He then moved a piece of ice himself and delivered it to Erlang in the front yard.

When I arrived at the front yard, Erlang had already gotten up and was eating breakfast.

Du Wenxiu asked Qiuyue to bring a basin of ice. Erlang stood up and thanked her when he saw her.

Du Wenxiu smiled and told him not to be polite and to sit down and have his meal, while she walked around the small guest room for a while.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Erlang finished his meal hastily, asked Qiuyue to collect it, and stood aside waiting for Du Wenxiu to finish talking.

As his mind raced, Du Wenxiu sat down again and asked him with a smile if he was feeling better.

Erlang replied, "The fever has mostly subsided, I just feel a little weak, but it's not a big deal."

Du Wenxiu nodded and looked at him again, with a look of hesitation on his face.
