Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

In the next few days, Lu Jinan replaced the plain brown sugar water with brown sugar ginger water for He Xi to drink. It was still just as sweet, but she choked before she was fine.

Lu Jinan's behavior caused disgust among the other men except Lu Yunshen. They felt that a man who could bend and stretch himself should not be bothered by such trivial matters and act like a sissy.

Lu Jinan did not refute, but just waited silently for their retribution.

How can a man who knows how to take care of others have bad luck?

The greenhouse at home has also been basically built. It is in the shape of a quarter circle, 15 meters long from east to west, facing the sun in the south and with a gable in the north. The frame is made of wood and bamboo strips. The toughness of bamboo strips can solve the curvature problem very well, and it has excellent load-bearing capacity, so it should be able to cope with the snow in winter.

The door in and out of the greenhouse is left on the west side, and a small house is built on the west side as a buffer zone for entry and exit to prevent the cold winter air from directly entering the greenhouse and freezing the vegetables.

Two stoves were set up inside. One stove could not maintain the temperature well at a distance of 15 meters. Although two stoves would consume more firewood, they were safer. After all, this was Mohe, the coldest place in winter.

The south-facing lighting surface can better ensure long-term sunlight and provide the photosynthesis necessary for plant growth.

Now there is only the last layer of insulation left - the straw mat. Cover from top to bottom, lower it at night and pull it up during the day to ensure that the temperature does not lose too much at night.

The rice straw for the autumn harvest had not yet arrived, so the project was delayed. Fortunately, the He family was large, and other work in the greenhouse was completed ahead of schedule, so there was no need to rush to make the straw mats.

If we were to say who is the happiest person in the He family now, it would definitely be He Xi, who has never worked in the fields to earn work points.

Today is a day off, and the He family courtyard is full of people, all completing their respective tasks according to He Xi's requirements.

Pick mushrooms and dry potatoes.

Sort the mushrooms into different categories, separating the weeds and leaves. Don't use large potatoes, small or medium-sized ones are best, wash them and steam them in a pot, boiling water for about 15 minutes.

After cooling down, peel off the skin. It is best to leave it overnight and then slice and dry it the next day. This is commonly known as resurrection. Such potatoes are easier to slice.

The slices should not be sliced ​​too quickly, but should be done in one go. They should be dried in the sun on a sunny day and the color should be golden and translucent.

Four soldiers were picking mushrooms together, but it ended up being a fight with the mushrooms. It was just the same as not picking at all, as the impurities were sorted out and the types of mushrooms were messed up again.

Others couldn't be beaten, but He Zhien couldn't escape this beating. He's father glared at him and taught him, "Can't you be honest? These are what your sister wanted. Some are for giving away, and some are for making sauce for you to take away. You will explain to her later."

He Zhien choked and didn't know what to say. She turned around and glared at the other three people who participated in the mushroom war: You have a share too, be careful or my sister won't cook for you.

He Xi, He Lu Jinan and three others were picking Chinese Arctic blueberries unique to Mohe in the mountains. They mature from late July to early August, and the ones left now are fully ripe.

The Lindian area was very quiet, with only the sound of four people rubbing leaves together.

He Xi clenched his fists to make his gloves feel cooler. The morning dew was so heavy that the glove was soaked. He needed to take off the gloves when picking to prevent excessive friction.

"Too much." Xiao Yan picked a handful and stuffed it directly into his mouth. "Mm, sweet and sour, delicious. I can eat ten kilograms."

"Hurry up and work, there will be too many people and we won't be able to choose." Lu Jinan wanted to hit him on the head.

Xiao Yan retorted: "Lu Jinan, don't think I'm afraid of you, my brother is here too."

Lu Jinansu was not afraid of his threat at all: "My brother is not here?"

"Humph, that's also two against two, you can't win."

The quarrel came to a temporary end, and the four began to return at noon.

"I'm finally home. I'm so tired." He Xi took off the backpack and sat on a chair to rest.

"Are you okay? Are you too tired?" Lu Jinan's expression also revealed a bit of fatigue.

He Xi shook her head: "It's okay, it's just too heavy to carry."

"How about some noodles with soybean paste?" He Xi smiled with her lips curved, her eyes sparkling.

"Okay." While eating Beijing noodles, Lu Jinan's heart felt like it was caressed by a pair of gentle hands.

Fried noodles with soybean paste, a few side dishes and soup. It’s just right to have some soup when the weather is cold.

Lunch had just ended when He's mother's best friend, Aunt Li Zhaodi, came with her daughter.

"Have you eaten? Come and have something." He's mother called Li Zhaodi.

"Yes. I don't have to work today, so I ate early." Li Zhaodi looked at He Xi, then at her daughter. "She wanted to come and see Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi was sick before, so she wasn't at home."

He's mother looked at the busy He Xi and sighed: "Oh, I was scared to death at that time."

Li Zhaodi also sighed: "No one expected that Lin Sanni was so cruel."

The two mothers were talking together, and Liu Yanyan walked towards He Xi. She was Li Zhaodi's younger daughter and also He Xi's best friend.

"He Xi, how are you?" A brisk voice came from behind.

He Xi was stunned for a moment, and his mind quickly searched for memories about the other party.

Liu Yanyan? I think so, right?

There was an incredible look in her eyes: "Have you forgotten me?"

He Xi: “…”

Liu Yanyan's eyes widened: "You actually forgot about me. It's a shame for our friendship for so many years."

He Xi turned around, grabbed a handful of blueberries, and handed them to Liu Yanyan: "Do you want some blueberries? I washed them fresh."

The other party took the blueberries and ate them, still refusing to let He Xi go: “I won’t forgive you so easily.”

He Xi didn't know how to get along with her so he just continued to busy himself with his own things.

Liu Yanyan saw He Xi fiddling with blueberries, and was curious about how He Xi dried the fruits differently from her own family, so she slowly moved closer.

Her eyes accidentally caught sight of two extremely good-looking young men, and she poked He Xi from behind: "Hey, aren't you going to introduce these two to me?"

He Xi realized that this was a good time to divert the other party's attention and not let her pay too much attention to herself.

"This is Lu Jinan, my childhood sweetheart, and this is his childhood friend Xiao Yan. They are both educated youth who came to our countryside."

Liu Yanyan took He Xi's hand in a familiar manner and walked to the side: "Does Xiao Yan have a partner?"

Hearing this, He Xi raised his head abruptly: "You...are attracted to Xiao Yan?"

"Yeah." Liu Yanyan's face was full of shyness.

Thinking back, He Xi felt that this was a very natural thing. Lu Jinan was cool and handsome, while Xiao Yan was cool and unruly. But the unruly and handsome type attracted people more quickly.

He Xi, who was looking at Xiao Yan, suddenly met Lu Jinan's gaze. She met his line of sight and was so scared that she quickly looked away.

In the end, he still couldn't escape. Lu Jinan's voice came: "He Xi, do you want to be a hooligan and irresponsible again? It's not the time to wash your sheets and clothes."

Is she being naughty? Or is she being naughty again? How can a girl be naughty to a teenager? They are so curious! And she even washes the sheets and clothes?

They looked at He Xi with smiles in their eyes, rare bold girls.

He Xi was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful eyes were filled with smiles. She took Lu Jinan's hand and walked towards the house: "Let's go, I will take responsibility for you."

Lu Jinan's eyes trembled, and his handsome features showed panic, but he tried hard to cover himself up: "No, there are guests at home, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? You have to let them know. It's not me who is irresponsible, it's you..." He Xi's words were ambiguous, and the conflict was instantly shifted back to him.

Lu Jinan gnashed his teeth secretly. He lost the game and his ears turned red. His voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I was wrong."

He Xi stared at him straight, then raised her hand to touch his soft short hair, and said with force: "Just make do with one bite for dinner."

Everyone's face turned grim; the big harvest they had been looking forward to was gone in a moment.

Great Harvest is a famous dish in Mohe. You can add beans, pumpkin, corn, potato, spare ribs, etc. It is fragrant, soft and glutinous and goes well with rice. The most important thing is spare ribs and rice.

Lu Jinan's expression changed slightly, and he looked at her blankly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. You didn't force me."

Suddenly Liu Yanyan exclaimed: "He Xi, you are so bold. You won't..."

Liu Yanyan raised two fingers, pointed their index fingers together, and had a smirking expression on her face.

He Xi glared at him and said unhappily, "I'm the kind that can't be appeased when I'm angry."
