Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

After Bai Ze left, Jiang Yue retracted the soundproofing formation, took out a body-strengthening pill and swallowed it. The child's health was not very good. If he was going to escape the famine, he should take good care of his body first. After getting up tomorrow, he would feed one pill to each of the family members. It would be easy to persuade the two naughty children by lying to them that it was candy. It would also be easy to persuade their mother Chen and Jiang's father, as they both loved their children. They could just put the pill in a candy and give each person a candy.

Jiang Yue thought about what happened next and went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, her father had already left. She looked at the door and saw two little kids looking at her. Jiang Yue waved and they ran over. Sister Lili looked up at Jiang Yue and asked her, "Sister, are you well? Can you play with us today?"

Jiang Yue rubbed the little heads of the two children and couldn't help but kissed each of them a few more times. After the three of them had been playing for a while, Chen came in. She watched the three children playing for a while and said, "Okay, Yue'er, you're sick now, so get up and eat first."

After their mother spoke, Jiang Yue put the two children on the ground and gave each of them a piece of candy with the elixir in it. Lili and Xuanxuan felt that the added sugar tasted great, their eyes sparkled and they were about to speak when Jiang Yue covered their mouths. Jiang Yue pointed at Chen, and the two children understood what she meant. They nodded, covered their mouths, and ran out to play.

After the two left, mother Chen smiled unhappily. This little action could be hidden from her. After Jiang Yue changed her clothes and got out of bed, she gave Chen a piece of candy with added ingredients. Chen didn't want to eat it at first, but she couldn't resist Jiang Yue's coquetry and ate it. After eating, she hummed and said, "When did you buy this candy? It tastes good. Wait for your father to come back and ask him to buy some more. Eating a piece of candy when you are tired on the road can make you feel better."

"I don't know when I bought it. There are five left, one for each family member. When my father comes back, ask him where he bought it. I just found it yesterday."

Chen took it and looked at it, but couldn't remember where she bought the candy. Then she asked Jiang Yue to put it away and didn't think about it anymore. She asked Jiang Yue to go to dinner while she forced her to make the bed. Jiang Yue wanted to help but was driven away. After going out, she signed for a child in each hand to go to dinner. Mother and father had already eaten, and the two were waiting for Jiang Yue to eat together.

The breakfast was simple, porridge, pancakes and pickles. Jiang Yue gave each of the twins half a bowl of porridge and a quarter of a pancake. The pancakes were very big and a quarter was enough. After breakfast, Jiang Yue cleaned up the table. She wanted to play with her younger siblings, but was rejected by Chen, saying that they were not well yet and should not move around.

So the three of them helped Chen to make pancakes. There were more than just pancakes as dry food. Later, Chen also made some salty sauce, and then packed up dried beans and eggplants. These things were easy to preserve and light in weight. At noon, Jiang's father came back, and Doctor Li's apprentice was on the ox cart.

Mother Chen hurriedly welcomed the person in. After feeling Jiang Yue's pulse, Doctor Li's apprentice asked her some questions. Jiang Yue answered truthfully. Doctor Li's apprentice became a little unconfident. It was obviously a desperate measure, so how could it be so effective? Jiang Yue could see his doubts. This man still had some ability. Jiang Yue saw that the prescription he prescribed was of some level, but Jiang Yue did not know her symptoms at the time, so she did not know if it was suitable for her.

After making sure that there was no problem, Jiang's father gave the other person a red envelope. Chen was so grateful that she took out a piece of the bacon she had prepared and insisted that the other person take it back. Doctor Li's apprentice didn't want it at first but couldn't resist Chen's enthusiasm, so he had to accept it in the end. After making sure that Jiang Yue was fine, Jiang's father sent him back.

After the people left, mother Chen thanked God for a long time, and her heart finally settled down. She took a break and started to prepare dry food. The dry food prepared this time did not taste good, but it could be preserved much longer. When Jiang's father came back in the evening, one car had become two cars. After entering the house, he took a break. While he was there, Jiang Yue fed the sugar with added ingredients to Jiang's father. Chen also asked Jiang's father where he bought it and if he still remembered.

Father Jiang thought for a moment and shook his head. He then did not investigate further. He checked the dry food that he had prepared and went to the village chief's house. After he left, the two children were very sleepy after playing all day. Jiang Yue and Chen coaxed one of them to sleep in a short while. When the children fell asleep, Chen and Jiang Yue said, "Tomorrow morning, tidy up your room and pack up all the useful things. Remember to take the important things and don't take the others."

Jiang Yue nodded to show that she understood. The two chatted for a while until late at night when Jiang's father came back. When he came in, Chen closed the door and poured him a cup of tea. Jiang's father waved his hand and said, "No need. I drank a lot over there."

"Well, what did the village chief say? Do you plan to go together?"

Father Jiang shook his head with an unpleasant expression, then looked at Jiang Yue and Chen and said, "They are not going to leave, and they said we are worrying too much. I tried to persuade the village chief for a long time, but he was still unmoved. However, the village is interested in buying our land, and the price they offered is not high. Do you think we should sell it to them?"

The family of three was silent for a moment, and Chen asked Jiang's father: "We have more than 100 acres of land in total. How much does the village plan to pay for it?"

"200 taels of silver."

"What!" Chen was a little bit unbelievable. 200 taels of silver were used to buy more than acres of land, and one acre of land was less than two taels of silver. This was obviously taking advantage of the situation.

"Impossible! We have spent more than 200 taels of silver, and this price is less than half of that. Besides, when we bought it, less than half of it was good land. Now, it is basically all good land. If we really want to sell it, the price will more than double. I would rather let this land go to waste for taels!"

Father Jiang thought the same. It was unrealistic to think about making money at this time, but he had to get back the capital at that time. Chen scolded for a while before calming down. Then she said to Father Jiang: "Talk to them tomorrow. The situation is different now. The chaos is coming. If the war breaks out, it is not certain who will own the land in the end. Just tell them that if they don't accept it, we will sell it to Zhang Laogui."

Zhang Laogui was a notoriously stingy landlord in the county, with a particularly bad reputation for being cruel and stingy. Chen was certain that the villagers would agree to it, and they would never let the land fall into Zhang Laogui's hands. After discussing the land, they discussed what to take with them and what to discard. Jiang Yue fell asleep while listening, and when she woke up the next day, she was in her own bed.

After waking up, I was dazed for a while. Then I got up, made the bed and went out. I saw the twins playing in the carriage. The carriage was equipped with a bed, so there was no need to worry about the twins falling off. Chen moved things to the carriage one by one. When Jiang Yue saw this, she hurried over to help. The carriage was basically full, mainly with clothes, food and water. Other things such as furniture and kitchen utensils could not be taken away.
