The little book boy shook his head and waved away the afterimage in his mind.

The master has already ordered that the madam and the young master are not allowed to meet each other again. The madam will not be able to see the miserable state of the young master.

Zhuang's dowry nanny poured some of the medicinal wine from the porcelain bottle and rubbed it in her palms to warm it before she dared to apply it to her knees.

Her wife was used to a life of luxury. Yesterday, she knelt for only two hours, and her legs became unable to walk. Her knees were also bruised, which was heartbreaking to see.

"Ma'am, please bear with it. It will be fine soon."

The nanny covered her body with her hands, and Zhuang gasped in pain.

"Tsk, it hurts so much. It hurts so much even after applying some medicine on my minor injury. I wonder how Yanli is doing? I really want to go see him."

"Madam, don't worry. The girls and boys in the young master's courtyard are all smart and will never let anything happen to the young master. Madam, you should take care of your body first. You are different from young people of the young master's age. It would be bad if you get sick in this cold weather."

Zhuang felt relieved when she saw that what the nanny said made sense.

"Alas, if I had listened to your advice earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Tell me, why was I so confused at that time?"

"Madam, it's all right if you think it through. I'm afraid you'll be stubborn and won't turn back, which will be difficult to deal with."

"Yes, but this thing can't be done. I don't know if Yanli will make a fuss."

"No, no, the young master has loved you since he was a child. As long as you let it go, there will be nothing you can't overcome."

What Mammy said made some sense, but why did Zhuang feel that something was not right? !

It seemed as if the nanny was saying that she was stupid and slow-witted.

"Forget it. My mother-in-law told me not to see Yanli again, but she didn't tell you not to. Go to Yanli's yard later and take a look. If there is anything you need, just buy it. I don't feel comfortable leaving Yanli to other people."

"Okay, I'll go take a look later and bring some food to the young master."

When Zhuang heard what the nanny said, she nodded. She was really relieved this time.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head and spring rain is as precious as oil.

Before the sun set, the sky became gloomy and it started to rain soon after.

When the weather is bad, the work in the mine becomes wet and impossible to do.

The workers wore straw hats and cloth towels on their shoulders and hid under the eaves to avoid the rain.

The rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it kept falling sparsely.

"Foreman, how are we going to eat dinner? There's no umbrella or raincoat in the mine."

"You'll get wet all over after a round trip, and you'll definitely get sick."

"If I get sick, it's not worth it. The money I earn won't even be enough to see a doctor."

Several people were chatting with each other.

"Don't think too much. It has rained before. Why are you so anxious? Can you guys starve?"

As soon as the foreman shouted, big white teeth appeared on everyone's dark faces.

"Haha, we're just afraid of being in the back of the queue again. We're so hungry."

"Get a basin of water and rub your arms thoroughly. You see there's black dust all over them. Prevent it from falling into the meat bowl later."

Everyone looked at the black and gray backs of their hands and fingernails, and embarrassedly took a basin to collect rain water to wash their hands.

Speaking of the weather, they have quite complicated feelings about the rainy days.

Work has to be stopped as soon as it rains. When it starts and when it ends depends entirely on God's mood, and they have to rest accordingly.

After long hours of hard work, they also hope to have a day or two of rest, but the bad thing is that half a day's wages will be deducted... They are still a little reluctant.

After the rain, they earned less money and were reluctant to spend a lot of money on restaurants.

Some people simply eat the cold steamed buns they bring from home, while those who are a little better off just add some pickles to make do with the meal.

After the foreman of the mine learned about this situation, he felt very sympathetic towards everyone. After discussing with the Zhou family, he decided that as long as the weather was bad, the small bowls of dishes would be replaced with large pots of dishes.

It saves time and effort for them, and for the miners, it is quite cost-effective to spend a small amount of money to eat two bowls of hot food.

The dried vegetables, dried tofu and dried pumpkin that were dried in the winter are still there.

Seeing that the weather was bad, the Zhou family immediately soaked these things.

The taste of stewing chicken with these dried vegetables is so delicious. Add some kudzu vermicelli and everyone will love the taste.

Zhou Tiezhu, Wang Youcai and other duck butchers stopped killing ducks and started slaughtering chickens instead.

These side dishes alone were definitely not enough for those grown men, so Zhou Mingshu and the other girls peeled two more baskets of potatoes and cut them into small pieces one by one.

After adding the potatoes, put a circle of pancakes on the edge of the pot. When they are cooked, cut them into pieces and soak them in the soup. This will help to satisfy your hunger.

Several people stewed six large iron pots of chicken, which was barely enough for everyone to share, and there were also two buckets of hot soup.

After being busy for so long, the Zhou family no longer wants to cook again.

The ducks that I roasted for the whole afternoon weren't sold, so I just took four of them and cut them into small pieces in no time.

Just eat roast duck in the evening, it’s simple and convenient.

As soon as it rains, the weather turns cold. Eating something spicy can warm your body, and drinking a little wine is very suitable for the occasion.

"Grandma, let's start building the house after the rain stops. The flowers in the flowerbed will bloom by the time we finish building it."

"Okay, I was thinking about that too. I'll find someone to help me after the rain is over."

Old Mrs. Zhou still had a duck bone in her mouth and could hardly speak clearly.

After she had finished all the food in her mouth, she continued speaking.

"Didn't you say before that making that delicious food requires a lot of goat milk? In a few days, we will buy a few more ewes with calves to produce more milk."

When Mrs. Zhou said this, everyone at the table laughed.

"Haha, that's a good idea, old lady. We should do this. The money a family earns is to be spent. It's not a big deal to always save it."

The first person to speak was Zhou Laosan. He was the most lively person in the family, good at chatting and had a very free and easy personality. What he hated most was people who earned money but were reluctant to spend it.

Seeing that the old lady was willing to spend so much to buy the sheep this time, he raised his hands in agreement.

"I don't believe you haven't noticed. Ever since Lord Qi sent us this goat with foal, the children have been drinking goat's milk for a while and their complexions have changed. They are also much stronger. I suspect it is the goat's milk that has done the trick. So even if the girls don't open this sweet water shop, I plan to add a few more goats."

The old lady held her chopsticks with an excited look on her face.

The people at the table became even more excited, but no one said anything in response.

Regardless of whether goat milk tastes good or not, they like yogurt very much.

Even if not for anything else, they would be willing to buy a few sheep just for the yogurt.

Besides, buying a few sheep is nothing to them, it’s just a small amount of money.
