Become a burden in a period novel

Dong Shaofang became interested in the jar that tripped her, and she used the stick in her hand to clear the dirt around the jar until the entire lid was exposed.

She found a thinner branch and slowly cleaned the gap between the lid and the jar. Feeling that the lid was a little loose, she reached out and picked it up.

When you open the jar, all you see is dirt, but there's something else in that dirt.

Dong Shaofang continued to poke the soil in the jar with a stick, and then dug out a coin from the soil.

Seeing the bald-headed figure on the blackened coin and the words "the third year of the Republic of China" written in traditional Chinese characters on it, she suddenly realized what it was.

The legendary "Yuan Datou"!

This is a silver dollar! Dong Shaofang immediately became excited! How many silver dollars are there in here? Are there other things besides silver dollars?

Dong Shaofang immediately continued digging in the soil with a wooden stick.

One, two...

She dug out many silver dollars, including some small yellow croakers.

This is a whole jar of gold and silver, so much money! Dong Shaofang's eyes are shining.

With these things, she no longer has to worry about having no money.

Dong Shaofang cleaned out everything inside bit by bit. Looking at the silver dollars and "small yellow croakers" that he had cleaned out, Dong Shaofang couldn't help but smile.

Qin Wangshu didn't expect that the heroine didn't get the golden finger from her, the cannon fodder, but the power of the plot compensated her with another adventure.

She was picking eggs in the space at this time. There were already a lot of chickens in the space, and she didn't want more, so she kept looking for eggs in the grass.

A breeze caressed her cheeks, and she leaned over to pick up an egg hidden in the grass. Let's fry some eggs for lunch today.

Qin Wangshu thought about this as he looked at the basket of eggs he had already picked up.

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin."

Someone called him outside, and Qin Wangshu quickly left the space and appeared in his own room.

"Aunt, what's the matter?" Qin Wangshu responded, and then she found that she was still holding the basket of eggs in her hand. She put the basket back into the space, then walked over and opened the door.

"Xie Zhiqing is here." Aunt Luo stood at Qin Wangshu's door and motioned her to look at the people in the yard. "He said he was going to the county town and asked if you had anything to bring."

Qin Wangshu raised her head and looked at Xie Chengxuan over there. When Xie Chengxuan saw her looking at her, he smiled and nodded at Qin Wangshu.

"Xie Zhiqing is so polite. I asked him to come in and sit for a while, but he refused." One of the women in their family is a widow living alone, and the other is an unmarried girl. It is indeed not suitable for a man like him to stay for long in their family.

"Then I'll go over and talk to him. Auntie, is there anything you want?" Qin Wangshu looked towards Xie Chengxuan.

I have to say that the male protagonist is worthy of being one of the protagonists of this world. He is so tall and handsome.

The hero's handsomeness is not the kind of pretty boy style she has in modern times, but the kind of handsomeness with square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes that people loved most in the 1970s.

Coupled with his taller than average height, it’s no wonder that the heroine and many female supporting characters like him.

"I've just told him that there's nothing he wants." Aunt Luo shook her head.

"Then I'll go there by myself."

"You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen first."

After Aunt Luo finished speaking, she went to the kitchen. She wanted to pour another bowl of water for Xie Chengxuan, but he refused, saying that he would leave after talking to Qin Wangshu.

Seeing that he looked a little anxious, Aunt Luo called Qin Wangshu in the room without delay.

"Are you going to the county town? When are you leaving?" Qin Wangshu walked up to Xie Chengxuan and looked up at him.

Her neck was so tired, so Qin Wangshu took a step back quietly while Xie Chengxuan wasn't paying attention.

"I'll go tomorrow morning and will probably be back in the afternoon. Is there anything you want?" Xie Chengxuan was a man who knew how to return a favor. Qin Wangshu had given him medicine twice and saved his elders, so when he faced Qin Wangshu again, he was very grateful.

"You're here to get medicine, right?" Qin Wangshu didn't answer him. He had come to get medicine from her before, and he was eager to go to the county town. He was afraid that only the antipyretic medicine would not be enough.

"Yes." Xie Chengxuan nodded, "The elder's illness is a bit serious. I'll go see if I can buy some medicine."

Qin Wangshu didn’t know which elder he was, but she remembered the old man who died in the original plot. His illness must have been very serious, otherwise he would not have died in the original plot.

"Raise some sheep." Qin Wangshu suddenly spoke up. Looking at Xie Chengxuan's sad face, Qin Wangshu reminded him.

After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful, not knowing why she had said it so directly. But when she thought of the four old people living in the cowshed, she felt less regretful.

Qin Wangshu was raised by her grandparents when she was young, so she couldn't bear to see the elderly suffer. The environment in the cowshed was too bad.

The cows in the team did not live in the cowshed in winter, but lived in the house vacated by the brigade. Of course, cows were more valuable than people at this time.

"What?" Xie Chengxuan thought he had heard it wrong.

"Since you can talk to the captain, why not suggest to him that we raise a few sheep. Apart from the unpleasant smell, it's still very warm to sleep with a lamb in your arms at night." Qin Wangshu made the suggestion sincerely.

It is only the first month of the year and winter is not over yet. What's more, there will be a late spring cold snap and the temperature will not rise. It is normal for people who are starving and freezing in the cowshed to get sick.

If the root problem is not solved, no matter how many medicines there are, they will not be able to cure them.

"There is a lot of grass on the mountain. After raising sheep, we only need to find a few children and go to the mountain to graze. We don't have to worry about anything. If there are ewes that can produce milk, goat milk is very nutritious." As he spoke, Qin Wangshu began to crave milk.

"It just smells a bit strong, so no one wants to go to places where sheep are raised."

Xie Chengxuan thought about it and felt that what Qin Wangshu said made sense. He looked at Qin Wangshu deeply and said, "Thank you!"

Xie Chengxuan said "thank you" very seriously.

He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. He had never raised sheep and didn't know the benefits of raising sheep. But thinking of what Qin Wangshu had just said, he thought he could give it a try.

He believed that his master and the others would not mind sleeping with the lamb in his arms. As for the bad smell, he had never smelled it, so he naturally had no idea.

But what Qin Wangshu said about sheep-raising areas generally did not appeal to people. If it was true that the strong smell of sheep-raising areas made people not want to go to the cowshed, then this would be a good thing for everyone in the cowshed.

But Qin Wangshu guessed where his elders were.

They could probably trust each other, after all, they both held each other's secrets. He had people he wanted to protect, and Qin Wangshu wanted to live a peaceful life, so it seemed like they could work together.

Qin Wangshu didn't know what was going on. Xie Chengxuan had clearly just come to ask her if she needed to bring anything, but how did it become like she was coming to the county town with him?

Sitting on the bus to the county town, Qin Wangshu felt that he might have lost his mind, otherwise why would he follow the male protagonist to the county town.

Enduring the unpleasant smell on the bus, Qin Wangshu kept looking out the window, not paying any attention to Xie Chengxuan.

Buses in winter are much better than in summer, at least the smell doesn't spread as widely.

Xie Chengxuan kept an eye on Qin Wangshu beside him. He knew that she just wanted to live a peaceful life, but he also knew that she had her own secrets.

He was just taking advantage of her kindness to get her to go to the county with him. She had her own channels. If he couldn't get those things, he would have to pin his hopes on Qin Wangshu.

Although Xie Chengxuan felt that it was a bit mean to scheme against a little girl like this, he had no choice but to do so for the sake of his master and others.

He had considered the idea of ​​raising sheep when he went back home last night. Apart from anything else, if raising sheep really made others unwilling to go to the cowshed, then the master and his men would be freer.

Xie Chengxuan had only eaten mutton and had never seen anyone raising sheep, but since Qin Wangshu brought it up, he felt that this should be something that could be done.

It is not an easy task to convince the captain, and it is not easy to get the sheep.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Wangshu again. If it were her, she should be able to convince the captain.

"Comrade Xie?" Qin Wangshu couldn't help but turn his head to ask, feeling the gazes on him.

"It's okay, we're almost there, Qin Zhiqing, please be patient." Xie Chengxuan withdrew his gaze.

Qin Wangshu ignored Xie Chengxuan's concern. She took out an orange from her bag and put it in front of her nose.

The fresh orange scent dispelled the peculiar smell in the car and also made Xie Chengxuan shut his mouth.

"Do you want one?" Qin Wangshu asked politely.

"That would be disrespectful to refuse." Xie Chengxuan immediately said with a smile.

Qin Wangshu was choked by his smile. She thought the male protagonist would not accept it. After all, people generally would not take other people's food at this time, let alone fruit in the middle of winter.

Qin Wangshu could only take out another orange and hand it to Xie Chengxuan.

When the other people in the car saw Qin Wangshu take out another orange, they were very envious, and some were even tempted.

"Young comrade, do you have any oranges left?" An old lady next to him looked at Qin Wangshu and asked.

"These are the only two." Qin Wangshu opened his cross-body bag, which was empty.

"Then where did you get these oranges?" This person didn't seem to want to give up and asked again.

"My classmate gave it to me. I don't know where she got it from." Qin Wangshu smiled embarrassedly.

Xie Chengxuan took the orange that was being stared at by everyone and felt that it was a good feeling to be noticed.

After they got off the car, Qin Wangshu was ready to separate from him.

"Comrade Qin, where are you going?" Xie Chengxuan asked. He didn't want to be separated from Qin Wangshu. He felt that Qin Wangshu's network of contacts should be wider than his.

The oranges she took out were not something that ordinary people could get. At least he had never heard of anywhere selling them.

If there was any, he would buy some, whether to give to his master or to eat himself. He hadn't eaten fruit for a long time.

"Comrade Xie, you are busy with something, so I won't bother you. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and then wait for you at the state-owned restaurant." Qin Wangshu briefly explained his arrangements.

Qin Wangshu didn't lack anything, so she didn't need to go to the black market to look for it. Besides, Jianzi would deliver her whatever she needed.

She was going to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look. If she needed something, she would buy it. If she didn't need anything, she would just look at it. As for why she told Xie Chengxuan, it was because they had agreed to go back together.

"Okay, then I'll go to the state-owned restaurant to find you at lunch. As agreed, I'll treat you to a meal!" Qin Wangshu had helped her a lot, so naturally he wanted to treat her to a meal.

"Then I'll wait for you to come over." Qin Wangshu said and separated from him.

Qin Wangshu had a lot of tickets and money in her hand. After going to the supply and marketing cooperative, she bought what she could as there were not many of the things she wanted to buy. Then she took what she bought to the state-owned restaurant.

The business of state-owned restaurants is not very good. After all, it is still the first month of the lunar year and everyone is visiting relatives, so not many people come to state-owned restaurants.

There were only four tables at noon today, including Qin Wangshu's table.

Qin Wangshu sat at the table without ordering any food. The waiter at the state-owned restaurant looked at her several times, and every once in a while, she would look over here.

Qin Wangshu is now thicker-skinned and just pretends that he is not being looked at.

In the end, Xie Chengxuan still didn't come over, so she ordered food with the waiter. At this time, she was the only one in the state-owned restaurant.

Qin Wangshu handed the ticket and money to the waiter and continued to wait. She ordered a double portion.

If he came, they would eat together. If he didn't come, she would pack up the other portion and take it away.

Qin Wangshu waited for a long time, but Xie Chengxuan still didn't come, and the food had already been served.

Qin Wangshu ordered two servings of shredded pork noodles, as well as today's braised chicken and stewed meat with cabbage.

Just when she thought she had to solve it on her own, Xie Chengxuan arrived late.

"Sorry, I'm late for a while. I'll give you the money. I promised to treat you to a meal." Xie Chengxuan was still catching his breath, and one could imagine how anxious he was when he came over.

"Let's eat first, and talk after you finish." Qin Wangshu pushed the bowl of shredded pork noodles in front of him.

"Okay." Xie Chengxuan was indeed hungry, but even so, his manners were very good when he ate. Although his speed didn't seem much slower, the way he ate was very pleasing to the eye.

Qin Wangshu also lowered his head to eat his meal. The noodles in the shredded pork noodles must have been hand-rolled by him and were very chewy.

She likes to eat hand-rolled noodles. When she was in modern times, her grandmother usually rolled the noodles for her, but after her grandmother's health became poor, she never ate them again.

She also visited many restaurants that claimed to make hand-rolled noodles, but the noodles didn't taste as good as before.

The noodles in front of me are delicious. It is so comfortable to have hot soup and hot noodles in such a cold day.

They both finished their noodles, but did not touch the two meat dishes in front of them. Qin Wangshu looked at Xie Chengxuan opposite her and said that he was full, and then she started to pack up the two dishes.
