A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

"Sister, you may have heard that my husband and son are setting up a stall to sell food at the South Street Wharf." He Hui Niang persuaded her: "Business is good, and they have made some money. This is also a way to repay your care. You must bring your brother-in-law and the children to have a meal in two days."

"Really?"

She did hear from the villagers that Huang Bo opened a stall at the dock with his children, but she didn't know whether he made any money. She thought He Hui Niang was probably busy at home, so she didn't ask.

Hearing her say this, He Jingniang felt very comforted.

After all these years of hard work, good days are finally coming.

"Really." He Hui Niang affirmed, "The guests all praised the food that my fourth son cooked up. They all went for his cooking skills. Let him show you his cooking skills in a couple of days and cook a good meal for you."

After convincing He Jingniang, he gave Jiang Yuzhen and Jiang Zhiyuan each a small purse, saying it was a gift for seeing each other after a long time. He also gave gifts to He Yian's two children. Without waiting for He Jingniang to refuse, he stood up, said goodbye, and went home.

After He Hui Niang walked away, He Jing Niang asked the children to keep the small purses for themselves and went into the house.

"My little sister said that we should go to my parents' house for dinner in two days."

"to make."

Jiang Dayou didn't ask, but was planning to cut a piece of pork belly and take it over in a few days.

On the appointed day, Huang Boxian took Huang Qilin and Huang Haolin to set up the stall, while He Huiniang took Huang Xilin, Huang Jinlin and Huang Mulin to buy ingredients.

The family generously bought five pieces of pork belly, five pieces of pork ribs, two pounds of beef, two chickens, a large jar of rice wine, a bunch of spices, side dishes, vegetables, etc.

After buying the ingredients, they went to the embroidery shop to chat with Yang Lijun. After Huang Bo and the others finished selling their lunch boxes and closed the stall, they took the fermented bean curd that had been deposited there and rented a temporary ox cart to rush to Hejia Village.

People in the countryside eat dinner earlier so that guests can go home earlier before it gets dark.

In ancient times, walking at night was very dangerous. It was dark and you couldn't see the road clearly, so you might fall accidentally, or you might encounter wild animals coming down the mountain to look for food. If you were unlucky, you would lose your life.

The family ate meat buns on the ox cart. The road to Hejia Village was relatively flat and not very bumpy, otherwise Huang Mulin would have vomited.

When they arrived at Hejia Village, people chatting at the entrance of the village looked around curiously when they saw the ox cart carrying people coming in. They were amazed to see that it was He Hui Niang with the men and children, and a lot of meat.

The man He Hui Niang married has become rich!

They chatted at the entrance of the village every day, so they naturally knew that Huang Bo had set up a stall at the dock to do business.

When Huang Bo proposed marriage, it was well-known in the surrounding area. Some people laughed at He Hui Niang for choosing a poor boy. Who would have thought that Huang Bo would be making a lot of money now.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

He Hui Niang greeted them and went home without saying much to them.

Zheng Jiaojiao heard the knock on the door and went to open it happily. However, when she saw Huang Bo's family carrying so much meat and other things, she was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close.

"You are..."

"Mom, let's go in first."

He Hui Niang helped Zheng Jiaojiao walk into the house, and the others followed.

Huang Qilin paid the ox cart driver, agreed on a time to pick them up, and only entered the house after closing the door.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

He Mingliang and He Yian were also stunned when they saw that the whole family was carrying all the delicious meat and vegetables.

"Not much, just a little bit of meat." Huang Bo replied, "These jars are freshly made seasonings. I'll use them to cook dishes for everyone to taste."

Without waiting for He Mingliang and the others to say anything, Huang Bo said hello and took Huang Qilin and Huang Jinlin to the kitchen to start working.

Chen Xiujuan, who was originally tidying up in the kitchen, was asked to come out.

She had no choice but to go back to the main room.

"Hui Niang, this?......"

He Hui Niang comforted her parents and brother: "Don't worry about them, let's talk among ourselves."

Soon, He Jingniang and Jiang Dayou also came with their children.

Jiang Dayou greeted and walked towards the kitchen, but just as he reached the door, he saw Huang Bo and his two sons, as well as plates of meat placed on the stove. He was holding a piece of pork belly in his hand, but he didn't know where to put it.

"Brother-in-law." Huang Bo greeted him when he saw him. "Let your meat cool down by the well. We will have plenty of meat tonight."

Jiang Dayou hesitated for a moment and took it out.

There's really no place to put it.

The elders were chatting, and the seven children were also socializing on their own.

"Cousin Jialing, your embroidery work is very good. You can go to the embroidery shop in town to get work! Do you want to go? I can talk to mother for you."

He Jialing was startled and subconsciously looked at He Hui Niang.

The elders also heard it and stopped chatting to look at her.

"It's not me." He Hui Niang smiled, knowing that they had misunderstood, "It's Shopkeeper Yang from the embroidery shop in town. Mu Mu and Sister Yang are destined to be together, so he recognized Sister Yang as his adoptive mother."

Everyone knew that He Hui Niang had taken jobs in the embroidery shop before, but this was the first time they heard that Huang Mulin had acknowledged Shopkeeper Yang as his stepmother.

He Jialing was a little shy and said, "Isn't this bad?"

"It's okay." Huang Mulin took her hand and comforted her, "Mother is a very nice person, and cousin Jialing's embroidery is also very good. Mother will definitely be happy for you to help."

Huang Mulin was not trying to comfort her. He Jialing was only nine years old, but the flowers, birds, grass and trees she embroidered on the handkerchief were very artistic. This was not just a simple embroidery technique.

Zheng Jiaojiao discovered that He Jialing had a talent for needlework and put a lot of effort into teaching her.

Aunt Chen Xiujuan was very happy. She had always supported her daughter's love of embroidery. It would be easier for a girl to find a husband if she had a skill.

"May I?"

"Sure."

"Mother."

Yang Jialing looked at Zheng Jiaojiao and Chen Xiujuan with eyes as wet as a deer.

"One day when your mother is free, ask her to take you for a stroll in town and visit the embroidery shop."

Yang Jialing was also a girl who had never been to the town, so she nodded shyly in response.

The girl from He Jing's family looked at her with envy and wanted to go too.

"Cousin Yuzhen, come and visit me at the pier when you have time. I'll take you to see the sea." Huang Mulin said that no one in the family would be left behind. "Cousin Jiadong and cousin Zhiyuan will go together."

The children who were named waved their hands. Although they wanted to go, they had work to do at home, and it cost two copper coins to go to town and back by ox cart, which was too expensive.

Especially Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Yuzhen, whose parents are farmers and work in the fields every year, and the number of times they go to the town in a year can be counted on two hands.

Huang Mulin did not persuade him and brought the topic to the fun things in town. Huang Haolin had met many people these days, had a lot of knowledge, and spoke fluently, and talked about all the new things in town.

The elders also enjoyed listening to it.

At about three quarters after 3 p.m., Huang Bo came and asked people to set the table and serve the food.
