With supernatural powers, he traveled through the book and became a little guard, and his inner voic

Aunt Xu looked at the nearly 300 kilograms of rice and flour, 70 to 80 kilograms of meat, a large basket of eggs, two large cans of lard, and two large jars of wine whose fragrance could be smelled from a distance.

I was a bit troubled. My family was very poor and I couldn't come up with a decent gift.

Niu Yaya said, "Mom, I understand what you said, and I know what to do.

After dinner, I went back to my mother's house to see if my father had hunted anything good. I heard that people in the city like the rare treasures in the mountains.

Brother Xiaojiu brought so many things with him, we can’t let him go back empty-handed.”

Aunt Xu nodded. "Didn't Xiaojiu bring two large bags of cloth? I took a look and they are quite large and the material is also very good. There is no problem making purse handkerchiefs.

Your mother has this skill, you can bring her a pack back.

The remaining bag can be divided among your rooms."

"Thank you, mother." Her mother was an embroiderer. Her mother's face was burned in a fire in the boss's warehouse. Her father picked up the survivor.

I don't know how many exquisite purses and handkerchiefs can be made from that big bag of cloth in my mother's hands.

If you save money, when the weather gets colder and you can’t hunt anymore, you won’t have to worry about your family having trouble making ends meet.

In the main hall, Xu Zicheng went out, and Zhu Jiu handed the bracelet that the old man was wearing to her sister.

"Sister, keep this. It's up to you to decide what to do with it."

Zhu Yan looked at the heavy bracelet and said, "Little brother, take it back for mother."

Zhu Jiu said, "Mom, don't worry, I will arrange it.

Sister, don't feel reluctant.

Although my mother taught us to be sincere to others since we were young, the reality is that wherever there are people, there will be disputes. Sometimes you need to be cunning to achieve your goals.

Take it, as long as you are living well, what does it matter if you give away a bracelet? "

After a short contact, she also realized that Aunt Xu had the final say in this family.

She brought so many things with her. My sister's jewelry was not so conspicuous, but the other things were consumables and would eventually run out.

She wanted to give jewelry to her sister, and of course she hoped that she would be happy wearing it, but she didn't want the gift she gave to her sister to be provoked by someone with ulterior motives to become the fuse of the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Active giving and passive asking, one can bring people closer, the other can destroy harmony

If she can win over the head of the family, her sister's life will be much easier.

Zhu Yan understood his brother's intention. Although he was still small in stature, he had made such thorough plans for her.

It turns out that without realizing it, the people who needed their sisters' care have already been thinking about them and giving their all for them.

What my mother said is true. My brother is indeed their supporter.

"Okay, then I'll take it. I'll make the best use of it and won't let my brother down."

Zhu Jiu asked, "Isn't my brother-in-law continuing his studies?"

"The old teacher in the school was a juren, and he passed away last month. The new teacher has limited knowledge, and your brother-in-law felt that he could not learn anything in the school, so he stopped going.

Plus, I was pregnant, so he planned to find a job first, save some money, and go to the city to see if he could find a college that was willing to accept him."

Zhu Jiu searched the original owner's memory. "I remember that the academies that I like seem to require letters of recommendation before being eligible to take the entrance exam. Does my brother-in-law have any academies in mind?"

"What belongs and what doesn't? It's good enough that they are willing to accept it."

It is so difficult for poor students to succeed

Zhu Jiu kept this in mind and said, "Everything will work out when the time comes. Sister, don't worry too much. Pregnant women should be careful not to be anxious."

Zhu Yan smiled happily, "I haven't even seen you yet, but you know so much. Your sister-in-law will definitely be a blessed woman in the future."

Zhu Jiu: ...

Aunt Xu borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and made a sumptuous dinner

One table for men, one table for women, one table for children

The head of Xing'er Village is an old man in his fifties. His face is full of traces of time, but his personality is quite generous.

The dinner lasted an hour and the guests enjoyed it very much.

This was Zhu Jiu's first time drinking alcohol since he came to this world, but fortunately the alcohol nowadays was different from the alcohol in later generations, otherwise who knows what kind of embarrassment he would make if he got drunk.

The next morning, Zhu Jiu opened his eyes to the sound of birds singing, still feeling dizzy.

She had just opened the door when the cute little girl immediately smiled widely, wearing two small beads she had bought on her head.

"Uncle, you're awake now. I'll get you some water to wash your face."

Zhu Jiu bent down and stretched out his hand to pinch her elastic face. "The little girl is so pretty, uncle can't bear to let her go."

Aunt Xu came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu is awake. Let the girl get you some water to wash your face. Aunt Xu made you some egg custard and you can eat it right away."

Zhu Jiu thought the whole family would sit together to eat breakfast, but unexpectedly it was just her and her sister.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Xiaojiu, eat quickly. I know you city people have the habit of eating breakfast."

When eating at Xu's house, Zhu Jiu controlled her food intake to a normal level. She could not eat with peace of mind under the gazes of the old man and the child.

But her sister had already started eating, so she couldn't do anything

I simply held the bowl and fed the girl while chatting with the aunt, "I drank too much last night, and I still feel dizzy and have no appetite. Girl, help me share some of the wine."

By the way, where are the rest of the family?"

Aunt Xu said, "Xiaojiu, you need to practice your drinking capacity.

They all went to work in the fields and came back to eat at noon.

Xiaojiu, it's a rare visit for you, so you can't leave today. I'll let your sister take you around the village later. Our village doesn't have those messy things, and it's quite harmonious most of the time."

"Okay, I'm actually quite interested in the mountain. I'll go take a look around later. Just to refresh myself."

Zhu Jiu walked into the lush forest after Aunt Xu repeatedly warned him not to go deep into the mountains.

She didn't expect to be blessed by God like other time-traveling protagonists, who either found ginseng or pheasants and rabbits running around in the forest.

Zhu Jiu climbed up the hill, breathed in the fresh air, and relaxed from the inside out. It felt really good.

"Hey, isn't this Tofu Chai? It is also called stinking yellow broom, tofu wood, and Guanyin grass. I didn't expect it to grow in large patches here.

Isn’t my brother-in-law saving money for school? Maybe this is a business opportunity.”

Zhu Jiu lifted up his skirt, quickly picked up the leaves, picked about three pounds, and went down the mountain excitedly.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Xiaojiu, are you picking these leaves to feed the horses? Don't worry, we have fed the horses well for you."

"Auntie, these are not ordinary leaves. You will know later. Please help me boil some water and find two clean basins."

Aunt Xu thought that Zhu Jiu still had the nature of a child, so she let him do whatever he wanted.

Get the ash water, scald the leaves, rub the leaves, filter the juice...

Zhu Yan looked at the thing in the basin, "Little brother, what is this? It is green and crystal clear, like jade."

"Sister, this is called Guanyin tofu, it's edible, sprinkle some dipping sauce on it, it tastes delicious"

Aunt Xu quickly ran to the kitchen to get some dipping sauce, cut a small piece, poured the dipping sauce on it and threw it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up.

"It tastes really good, Xiaojiu you are amazing

I didn’t expect that these rotten leaves all over the hill, which even pigs wouldn’t eat, could be made into something so delicious.”

Zhu Jiu smiled. It's not that she is great, she is just standing on the shoulders of her predecessors.

"Auntie, sister, do you remember the process and the ratio of adding plant ash water just now?

Isn’t my brother-in-law saving money for school? This may be a good business opportunity for the time being.”

Zhu Yan and Aunt Xu looked at each other. No wonder Xiao Jiu kept saying that she wanted them to remember and try it themselves.

I think this is teaching them how to make money.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes immediately turned red, especially Aunt Xu, who was in charge of the family's food, drink, defecation and urination, and carefully calculated every meal.

The whole family depended on those few acres of dry land and relied on God for their livelihood. Suddenly, there was such a business opportunity with no capital investment, which improved the family's situation. If her body did not allow it, she would have wanted to pick up Zhu Jiu and turn him around.

At noon, the Xu family had a delicious dish they had never seen before. It was not only beautiful in color, but also delicious.

Aunt Xu said at the dinner table, "This thing tastes good, right? You'd never guess it, it's made from stinky leaves from the mountains. We'll be selling this in the future."

This is the way to make money that Xiaojiu taught us. Just follow the instructions of me and Lao Si's wife on how to do it. This is a no-cost business, so you better keep your mouth shut.

Also, no matter what happens in the future, all of you, big and small, should remember Xiao Jiu's kindness in your heart.

If there is a ruthless person in the Xu family, I don’t mind kicking him out of the house myself.”

The Xu family was so excited that they couldn't wait to carry their baskets up the mountain to pick leaves.

After lunch, Zhu Jiu said goodbye. "My sister has a sensible mother-in-law like Auntie, and several sisters-in-law who are like real sisters. I feel relieved when she is here. My vacation is limited, so I have to go back."

Aunt Xu was filled with reluctance, and Zhu Yan burst into tears, not wanting his brother to leave.

The family sent Zhu Jiu to the village entrance and did not turn back until they could no longer see the shadow of Zhu Jiu's carriage.

Zhu Yan held the purse given by her brother in her hand and cried all the way back. Her brother's visit had touched her so much.

Xu Zicheng comforted him patiently and gently. Zhu Yan sniffed and opened his purse. Inside were five ten-liang silver ingots and a fifty-liang silver note.

Zhu Yan cried and said, "My younger brother said that you can do business for your family so that you don't fall behind in your studies.

He will find a chance to get you a recommendation letter from Qingyun Academy, but whether you can pass the entrance exam depends on your own ability."

Xu Zicheng gently held his wife in his arms, "Xiao Yan, having you is the greatest blessing in my life.

Regardless of whether I succeed or not, I, Xu Zicheng, will remember Xiaojiu's friendship for the rest of my life."
