After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

When he returned home, he first put the bought vegetables in the kitchen, and then went into the house. However, Zhen Yue was not in the house at this time. She was looking at her peach tree and jujube tree that had sprouted behind the house. They were planted just last night and they sprouted today.

Qiao Chao opened the window and looked behind the house, and saw her back. "Zhen..." Qiao Chao suddenly stopped, because he suddenly didn't know how to call Zhen. He seemed to have rarely called her Zhen before.

Zhen Yue seemed to have heard a voice. She turned her head and saw Qiao Chao peeking out of the room. "Ayue." This was Qiao Chao's last call.

Zhen Yue stood up and said, "You're back?" and walked towards him.

Qiao Chao was about to take out the silver from his pocket, but Zhen Yue took a look and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to the front yard to wash my hands and then we'll talk again when we return to the room."

Qiao Chao stopped and waited for her to come back.

On the other side, Qian originally wanted to come to the kitchen to drink water, but she saw the fish and big bones in the basket. She was stunned for a moment and wondered who brought them back.

"Mom, why are there fish and big bones in the kitchen? Who bought them?" Qian went out to find Qiao Chen and asked.

Mrs. Qiao Chen was holding little Ah Chu and teasing him, "What big bone? What fish?"

Qian: "There are fish and big bones in the kitchen."

Xiaohua on the side suddenly said, "It was brought back by my uncle." She had just seen my uncle bringing back a lot of things.

Qian looked at Xiaohua, "Your uncle? Yes, it seems that your uncle is not at home today. Did your uncle go hunting again?"

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "Why haven't I seen the boss come back?" She only knew that when the boss went out, he said he had something to do and then left. She thought that Mrs. Zhen should know so she didn't ask any more questions.

Qian: "I'll go check." As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Zhen Yue coming back from behind the house, "Sister-in-law, is brother back?"

Zhen Yue: "Yes, he is in the room."

Qian: "I wonder who bought the fish and the big bones in the kitchen."

Zhen Yue: "Oh, I asked him to buy something for me, and he should have bought some vegetables as well." Zhen Yue washed her hands and went back to her room.

Qian went back and told Qiao Chen again. Qiao Chen said, "Maybe Zhen wants to plant something and asked the eldest brother to buy seeds."

Qian: "I hope sister-in-law can grow something good to sell." But sister-in-law Jiamei can't do that.

On the other side, Zhen Yue saw the cakes and snacks on the table as soon as she entered the room. "Why don't you give the things to mother and put them away?"

Qiao Chao: "I'll take it back later." He took out fifteen taels of silver and handed it to Zhen Yue. "The painting sold for eighteen taels. I bought some things, so I'll keep some for myself and give you the rest."

Zhen Yue took it and was a little surprised, "Why are there so many?" She remembered that there weren't so many last time.

Qiao Chao: "Well, maybe the painting is a little better this time."

Zhen Yue put the money away and patted Qiao Chao on the shoulder. "You've worked hard. You must be tired. Take a rest first."

Qiao Chao then took out a silver hairpin and said, "This is for you."

Zhen Yue glanced at the silver hairpin and then at Qiao Chao, making him feel a little embarrassed. Qiao Chao looked away and said, "Well, after all, you've worked hard to give birth to little Achu." If it was his concubine, giving birth to a child would not only be a reward but also a promotion in status.

He had no money before, and even if he had some money, it was mainly to improve the family's life, so he could only make a wooden hairpin for Zhen Yue, but how much could a wooden hairpin be worth? Now he finally had some spare money, so when Qiao Chao passed by a jewelry store, he went in and bought a silver hairpin.

Zhen Yue looked at the well-made silver hairpin and said, "Thank you."

"Then let me help you put it on?" Qiao Chao suddenly said. Zhen Yue was still wearing the wooden hairpin he had made for her.

Zhen Yue asked him, "Did you buy anything for Mom?"

Qiao Chao shook his head, he only bought it for her. Seeing him like this, Zhen Yue said, "Then don't wear it for now, otherwise how are you going to explain that you made so much money?" Originally, he had said before that he would not tell anyone else about the sale of paintings.

Qiao Chao was stunned. He had never thought about this question.

Zhen Yue: "Put it away for now. I'll wear it when my family makes more money in the future." She walked to the dressing table and put the hairpin into the box.

"Okay." Qiao Chao didn't say anything else.

Zhen Yue picked up the things on the table and said, "You take a rest first. I'll bring the things to mother."

"Ah."

Zhen Yue went to Qiao Chen's room and said, "Mom, second brother and sister-in-law, Qiao Da just bought some cakes and some snacks. Share them. Don't give Xiaohua and the others too much, otherwise their teeth will be damaged."

Qian took the food with a surprise, "Okay. I will definitely not let them eat too much."

After Zhen Yue left, Qian grumbled, "I wonder how much money my eldest brother has. He actually bought so many things." Sure enough, I have to follow my eldest brother and his wife to have meat to eat. Separating the family? That's not possible.

When cooking in the evening, Qian was cleaning the fish and asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you cook this fish?"

Zhen Yue sat aside and fed little Ah Chu rice soup. "The fish was bought by your eldest brother. Ask him how he wants to eat it?"

Qiao Chao just came out of the room, "What do you want to eat?"

"How do you eat fish?" Zhen answered him.

Qiao Chao thought for a moment and said, "The pickled fish you made last time was delicious."

Qian: “…I’m not very good at this yet.”

Zhen Yue: "I'll guide you, fillet the fish first."

"it is good."

There were five dishes in total: pickled fish, carrot soup with bones, stir-fried vegetables, bacon and pickled beans, and scrambled eggs with leeks. The whole family was very satisfied with the meal, but the dishes got cold quickly.

Zhen Yue thought for a moment, "It's cold, the food gets cold quickly, how about setting up a small stove on the side, and putting the pot on top, with charcoal underneath, and we can eat around the stove, this way the food won't get cold so quickly."

Zhen Yue only gave a rough idea, it still depends on how Qiao Dashan and the others act.

Of course everyone agreed with Zhen Yue's suggestion. After all, food does cool down quickly in winter, and oil will solidify quickly. Even fish will become fishy when it gets cold.

However, they still needed to discuss how to design and make it, but Qiao Chao suddenly said, "Can't we eat the pot?"

Zhen Yue glanced at him and said, "It's not easy to get a pot." It's something for rich people, one costs more than ten taels, and it takes a lot of time to make.

Qiao Chao paused and realized that he had said the wrong thing. In his previous life, he could get whatever he wanted by just asking. He suddenly forgot the family situation of this family. Even a pot was not so easy to get.

Things like iron and copper are all regulated, and you need a certificate if you want to buy them.

Qiao Dashan: "I'll see how to do it tomorrow." The eldest son's wife proposed it, so it had to be done. These days there was not much work in the fields, and they didn't need to go to the county town to find a job, so they were relatively free.

Zhen Yue: "It's almost time to start working on the pig pen I mentioned earlier."

"it is good."
