In the book, I was fed by my sister

The Qiqiao Festival is coming soon.

Grandma Gu was busy with her rabbit lanterns, so she didn't go to the city every day these days. When there was an ox cart coming into the city, she asked Song Ran to take her things to the city.

Song Ran got up early in the morning and packed the mushrooms in the basket.

"Song Li, are you home?" Xiao Lizi asked standing at the door.

Song Li ran over to open the door, "I thought you were going to oversleep again today."

Li Zi gave the oil paper bag to Song Li.

"What did you bring today?" Song Li asked. Although the officer guarding the prison was happy to bring things in, the items brought in were still checked very strictly, for fear that there might be sharp objects hidden inside.

At first, Li Zi asked for all the straw grasshoppers he brought to be searched out.

"Just some food." Li Zi opened the paper package.

The leftover biscuits from the morning, a small piece of dried meat, sesame stalks, a small piece of winter melon candy, and the apricot candy that Song Li gave me yesterday.

"Isn't this the candy I gave you?"

"I'm afraid she hasn't eaten it."

"Take it back. I'll ask my sister to bring more apricot candies. I'll bring the rest in for you."

After listening to Song Li's words, Li Zi ate the apricot candy.

"Song Li, are you going to the city to watch the Qiqiao Festival?"

"Correct."

"Li Rongrong said she wants to go too, but too many people asked her to bring the rabbit lantern. Can you help me bring a lantern?"

Li Zi was afraid that Song Li would refuse, so he continued, "I have lucky money, so please help me get one."

Although the New Year's money was only two cents a year, the money she received when she was three years old plus the money she received when she was four years old was a full four copper coins.

Four cents should be enough, right?

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you then."

"Little Lizhi, has your sister finished packing?"

Song Li looked up at Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao had been following them frequently these days.

He was carrying a small backpack today, and it seemed that he was planning to go to the city with them.

"Sister Xiaoxiao." Li Zi said sweetly.

"She's still packing her things in there, you go find her." Song Li moved sideways.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and pulled Song Li's face: "Impolite little brat." Then she turned to Li Zi and said: "Fat Li Zi, do you want some candy?"

Li Zi nodded vigorously: "I want to!"

Song Li rubbed his face, looking down upon Li Zi's bribed look.

No future.

How can I be her subordinate in this situation?

No, she doesn't want to be the boss. She must have been brainwashed by Li Rongrong.

Su Xiaoxiao walked into the yard carrying a small backpack.

Song Li stared at Su Xiaoxiao's backpack, and the supernatural power in her body seemed to be drawn out by the things inside.

What good stuff is inside?

Song Li rushed over spinelessly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll lead the way with you, my sister is in the backyard."

"I've packed everything here." Song Ran picked up the basket. "Xiaoxiao, what are you carrying?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: "Secret."

She returned to Lihua Village and learned from Lin Shijia that he had spent two taels of silver to redeem her from the human traffickers.

At first she had no idea about the two taels of silver. After all, she knew that Heshen had amassed more than 800 million taels of silver.

Later, she saw the empty rice jar and slept in a leaky house at night. Lin Shijia copied books in the dark, while his three younger brothers worked hard to reclaim wasteland during the day.

She realized that she owed a lot of debts, and they were growing.

Now she owed Lin Shijia two taels of silver and Song Ran sixteen wen. In addition, she was temporarily staying in Lin Shijia's thatched cottage, so she owed Ruotian for accommodation. She also owed Ruoton for food for the past few days she had eaten with them.

In order to solve her debt, she started looking for ways to make money.

In the past few days, she has been scouting around Lihua Village, but was told that she could not enter the mountain because of wild wolves. But luckily, she found false nightshade at the foot of the mountain, which is the raw material for making ice jelly.

She is a native Sichuanese. When she was a child, her grandmother would hand-knead ice jelly as soon as summer came, and add raisins, hawthorns, jam, etc. It was simply a great product to relieve the heat.

She quickly gathered the fruits from the branches and put them into the space.

Fortunately, when she came to this time and space, the space did not disappear.

This was the space she had created when she was a child, and it was only one cubic meter in size. Although it was small, it brought her a lot of benefits when she worked part-time as a food deliveryman in college.

This time of crossing may be a blessing in disguise. The space is much larger, and there is a lowland as big as a washbasin with water gushing out.

She tried drinking some, it tasted sweet and much better than the well water here.

She tried to get some water out to make ice powder.

The ice jelly is not as delicious as the one with brown sugar water, raisins, hawthorn and other small ingredients. But it is a little sweet and not bad.

Take your time, once she has paid off her debts, she will upgrade the formula.

After the three of them left the house, Grandma Gu packed up all the rabbit lamp stands she had woven over the past two days and moved them onto the ox cart. They looked heavy, but they were not heavy at all.

"Ran'er, I've talked to Li Kun, and he can take it to Boss Jia. You can collect the money for me and bring the basket back."

There were a lot of people going to the market today. Fortunately, Song Ran and her friends arrived early and grabbed a seat.

When there was no room left for the people on the cart, Li Kun whipped the ox cart and let it go.

The people in the car looked at Su Xiaoxiao, the new bride who had just married into Lihua Village.

Some people were also curious about what Song Ran was doing in the city every day.

But more people are attracted by another thing.

"Have you heard? Zhou Fuquan's youngest son from the neighboring village was beaten to death."

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to work for a rich family in the city? What's wrong with you?"

"If you commit a crime, you will be beaten to death? God has mercy on you. It shows that the food in the rich master's house is not delicious either."

"What did you do? Stealing?"

"I heard that the arrangement was that he was looking for something bad."

"Tsk, tsk, it's just a small matter."

Su Xiaoxiao was terrified as she listened to this. In the ancient times, people really regarded human life as worthless.

Song Li looked up at her sister and decided to keep her sister away from these rich people, or they would become rich themselves.

"We're here!" Li Kun stopped the ox cart, paused, and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Everyone needs to take the return trip at the usual time."

Everybody got off the bus, carrying backpacks or baskets, and saw quite a few people gathered at the notice board at the city gate. When the people from Lihua Village saw this, they also followed forward to join in the fun.

"What is it?"

Song Ran read intermittently. Her father taught her to read. She could recognize the entire recipe, but she had trouble recognizing the characters that extended to other places.

Su Xiaoxiao also followed.

"Oh my, this is terrible. Starting from the 15th of next month, you will have to pay copper coins to enter the city."

Everyone had different looks. Seeing that there were no guards nearby, someone whispered, "It must be the new county magistrate who took office. He's going to start with the first three things he does when he takes office, and he's going to burn us ordinary people first."

"How much? I just come to buy a pot of soy sauce and you charge me? Wow, this is too much of a charge. It's even worse than that fat guy before."

"Auntie won't charge you if you carry a basket, but she will charge one cent if you carry a basket on your back or on a shoulder. She will charge two cents if you push a cart, and three cents if you drive an ox cart or a donkey cart into the city," Song Ran explained.

Su Xiaoxiao was glad that there was still space. She could bring a bamboo basket as a decoy when the time comes to enter the city.

The most unhappy one was Li Kun, three cents!

It’s going to kill him!

"Well, let's go. I'll deliver Sister Gu's goods in." Li Kun said to Song Ran.
