Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Jiang Ci: "All I want is to make money!"

After they talked like this, everyone became full of energy.

They started making toothbrushes with a clear division of labor.

Lin Jingsheng and Lin Shan made the toothbrush handles, while Ye Wan and Lin Jingan threaded the wool into the small holes of the toothbrushes.

Jiang Ci went to the backyard to shear the wool of another sheep, and Lin Jingxuan separated the wool on the mat into small strands.

Jiang Ci took some grass and put it in front of the sheep for it to eat.

Jiang Ci cut the fur on its body, and this one was cut more severely than the other one.

After all, with so many people working together to make toothbrushes, all the money earned from selling them is money!

"These two sheep only have so much wool. I'd better go and shear the wool from other sheep."

In one afternoon, the whole family worked together and made nearly a hundred toothbrushes.

As the sun sets, the faint afterglow pours down on the endless fields, covering the yellow ears of wheat with a layer of golden gauze.

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a group of people were sitting and chatting. Their laughter echoed in the fields, as if injecting vitality into this quiet land.

In the setting sun, the shadow of the jujube tree was stretched out, falling exactly where Jiang Ci and the others were sitting.

Everyone's face is covered by the shadows cast by the branches of the jujube tree, like a natural ink painting.

As the breeze blew, the leaves of the date tree rustled, as if accompanying this beautiful scene.

Jiang Ci threaded the wool through the last hole of the toothbrush in her hand.

I stretched my body and felt my bones crackling.

I turned my head slightly to the side and saw Lin Jingsheng who was carving the wood in his hand carefully.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the sharp contours of his face and his serious expression.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Lin Jingsheng naturally noticed the burning gaze next to him.

He paused and looked up, and saw Jiang Ci's shining eyes.

Jiang Ci turned her head away hurriedly, but felt that this action was inappropriate.

'Why should I rush away?'

Jiang Ci wanted to see Lin Jingsheng smile brightly at him.

This smile made Lin Jingsheng stunned, and his hand holding the carving knife tightened.

Lin Jingan put down the wood and saw in his hands and said, "Oh! It's getting dark."

"It really is."

Ye Wan looked up at the sky, put down the work in her hands, and pounded her waist, which was a little sore from working for a long time.

Jiang Ci: "Let's stop here today. It's getting dark."

Lin Shan: "Finish carving this one in your hand."

Lin Jingxuan stood up, stretched, and shouted, "Ah! I'm so tired."

After Jiang Ci finished drying the wool from the second sheep, she came over and put the wool on the toothbrush handle.

As a result, the manufacture of the toothbrush handle could not keep up with the speed at which the wool was threaded upwards.

Lin Jing'an also went to make toothbrush handles.

Looking at the piles of toothbrushes in the basket next to him, Lin Shan started to engrave words on the finished toothbrushes.

Ye Wan: "I'm going to cook, you guys take these into the house."

"it is good."

Lin Jingxuan looked at the finished toothbrushes in several baskets and shouted excitedly, "Third brother, let's count how many we have made in total."

"Okay!" Lin Jing'an was thinking the same thing.

Jiang Ci pushed Lin Jingsheng into the house. The light in the house became darker, so Jiang Ci lit the kerosene lamp.

The kerosene lamps here are very simple, like a small teacup, filled with crushed plants.

A flammable hemp rope soaked in oil is inserted into it, just like a candle wick.

However, this oil lamp doesn’t work very well. It doesn’t emit bright light and has a strange smell.

Jiang Ci thought that when she made money in the future, she would definitely replace this with candles.

When Jiang Ci pushed Lin Jingsheng back, she realized that he always felt something was wrong in the afternoon. She didn't know what it was that he felt was wrong at that time.

Jiang Ci poured Lin Jingsheng a cup of warm water and asked apologetically, "You've been sitting outside all afternoon today. Are you tired? You didn't even take a nap. I forgot about it when I got busy."

Lin Jingsheng put the empty cup of water on the table and said, "I'm not tired. I'm very happy to be with you guys."

"It's night time now. Go to bed early. Getting enough sleep will help you recover."

Lin Jingsheng was very touched by Jiang Ci's concern for him.

Especially now, Jiang Ci was sitting on a stool in the room, a bit shorter than Lin Jingsheng's wheelchair.

Jiang Ci looked up at Lin Jingsheng, her eyes full of Lin Jingsheng's reflection.

Lin Jingsheng was very touched by Jiang Ci's concern, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Jiang Ci's lips were a little dry, Lin Jingsheng picked up another cup and poured her a glass of water.

"Aci, drink some water too."

"it is good."

Lin Jingxuan ran to their room happily, and seeing the two of them sitting at the table, she ran in and stood beside them.

He shouted excitedly, "Brother Ci, big brother, there are 97 toothbrushes in total, that's a lot!"

"So many!"

Jiang Ci's tone was also very excited.

Jiang Ci could estimate the quantity by looking at the finished products, but now when he heard the specific number, he was still very happy.

"So many! Each one costs five cents, so these are..."

Thinking about the money she could make from selling it, Lin Jingxuan jumped up excitedly.

"Almost half a tael of silver!"

Lin Jingxuan's face flushed with excitement. "I'll go tell Mom!"

With that said, he ran out.

Lin Jingsheng looked at the girl's impetuous appearance and exclaimed, "She's so lively."

When Lin Jingsheng went to serve in the military, Lin Jingxuan was still a little kid running behind him.

This time, he has grown so much.

"It would be great if we could be more lively!"

It was not yet completely dark, and they were eating quickly in the yard.

After seeing the meal in front of Lin Jingsheng, Lin Jingxuan couldn't help but glance at the dish.

"It smells so good! What delicious food did Brother Ci make for me? Why does it smell so good!"

Lin Jingxuan swallowed her saliva and added a chopstick of food to Lin Jingsheng, "Brother, eat more."

Then he asked, "Brother, what does the meal that Brother Ci made for you taste like?"

Lin Jingsheng saw through Lin Jingxuan's little thoughts at a glance and was amused by his clever appearance.

He pushed the fried eggs and garlic sprouts that Jiang Ci had given him a little bit towards Lin Jingxuan.

"It's delicious, come and try it."

Lin Jingxuan said cautiously, "Then... I'll try it."

He picked up a small piece with his chopsticks and quickly put it into his mouth.

Her eyes lit up. She savored the taste in her mouth and praised sincerely, "It's delicious."

Jiang Ci was very happy to hear her praise. Of course she was happy that the food she cooked was recognized by others.

After Lin Jingxuan tasted it, she stopped eating.

She knew that these were made for her elder brother, and that only after eating them could her elder brother recover faster.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 'Children of this era are really sensible.'

During this period, Jiang Ci would make an egg for Lin Jingsheng every one or two days to supplement his nutrition and help his body recover faster.

Almost every household raises a few chickens, but children in this village may not be able to eat an egg in a month.

Because they kept the eggs to sell in town to supplement their family income, an egg could be sold for two cents each.
