A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"I don't have anything to do here, you should go back early. Zhuangzi is busy, don't delay."

How could he just leave like this? His spine would be rubbed to death by others.

"I'll keep you company longer!"

It was not until after dinner that Lin Dashan took his wife and daughter home.

Wang said worriedly, "Boss, Daddy has fainted and he doesn't look as energetic as before."

What do you mean by lack of energy? Xiaomi doesn't think so. Indeed, today was a bit exciting and his grandfather was furious. But he had already finished a big bowl of chicken noodle soup in the evening, so what else could happen?

"Dad, there will be a lot of things to do in the old house in the future. My younger uncle didn't pass the exam, and I guess my second and third uncles don't want to support him anymore. Also, my second uncle wants Brother Fuqiang to study."

After staying in the old house for a long time, she saw clearly that the second uncle and the third uncle were working together to squeeze the fourth uncle. It was uncertain whether his fourth uncle would go to school next year. The third uncle had always said that he would send Fuqiang and his son to school and they would support themselves.

It was not appropriate for a grandson of his age to live together. But for the sake of her fourth uncle, her grandparents refused to split up the family.

"Yes, second brother, third brother has been talking about this for three years." Third brother still hasn't passed the exam in three years, so he is definitely not a good student. "I think fourth brother should go to the city to find an accountant or become a private school teacher."

"But will my uncle be willing? He wants to be an official, and so do my grandparents. They want to be officials too! Dad, don't tell this to me when we get back to the old house."

"I know. But I think your second and third uncles are determined not to support the fourth child. It's useless even if he doesn't want to. Even if your grandparents don't want to, I guess there's nothing they can do."

"My uncle is not young anymore! Why doesn't he get married?"

"Originally, your grandmother thought that he would marry after he passed the examination, so that he could at least choose a good wife. But it has been delayed year after year, and now he still hasn't passed. Your fourth uncle is 20 this year, right?"

Well, now his grandma’s dream has been shattered. Her uncle is so old, he can’t study or work, so it will be even harder for him to find a wife.

"You rejected your uncle today. I think the way he looked at you was quite scary. Stay away from him in the future."

"I know. What can a weak scholar do?" Lin Dashan said indifferently.

Xiaomi: ...Who wants to fight with you? A barking dog never bites. Her fourth uncle is scheming!

"Master, the old man is sick. Should I go to the old house to serve him?"

"No, let's give them more. It's no big deal."

"Yes!" Wang agreed very quickly with a smile on her face.

Xiaomi was happy that her mother had actually learned how to speak indirectly. She had made progress.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Dashan took his family to the old house. Chickens, ducks, fish, meat, eggs, and various supplements filled their hands. They did not take a mule cart, but greeted the villagers along the way as they entered the courtyard.

"Dad, are you feeling better today?"

"Much better. Why did you come so early?"

"I was worried about you, so I came to see you earlier. I brought a few live chickens and ducks, and I'll kill one every day to make soup for you. If you feel uncomfortable, call a doctor, and don't just bear it to save money."

Old man Lin felt relieved.

"Eldest brother, what do you think about fourth brother's matter?" If the eldest brother could continue to support fourth brother, all conflicts in the family would be resolved.

"Dad, you and mom will decide on Fourth Brother's affairs."

"Your fourth brother has had bad luck in the past few years and has failed the exams repeatedly. Unfortunately, our family is poor and our grandchildren are growing up. Dad is really upset!"

"Dad, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The children of my second and third brothers will be taken care of by their parents. As for my fourth brother, you have supported him until he was 20, and it is time for him to plan for himself. You should worry less, everyone has his own way of living."

"Dad, don't you think that all of you brothers are doing well? The older ones help the younger ones, and the better ones help the weaker ones. Your fourth brother has studied for more than ten years. If he doesn't study now, then all the previous efforts will be wasted, right?"

"How could it be a waste of money? For example, my fourth brother can work as an accountant, a private school teacher, or a clerk, which are things that we brothers cannot do. His education is not in vain, and it is much less troublesome than us working so hard to make money."

"Your fourth brother wants to take the exam for another two years, what if he passes?"

"What if it doesn't work? Dad, you and mom can decide on this matter. I will listen to you."

"Boss, I think..."

"Dad, you are still sick, and the most important thing is to take good care of your health." Lin Dashan interrupted what he was about to say.

After helping Old Man Lin lie down, Lin Dashan went back. He saw that his father was doing well and was concerned about his brother.

"Brother, please stay and have dinner. My second sister-in-law just killed a chicken."

"No, I have something else to do in the village, I'll go back first."

Old Man Lin heard it clearly in the room and felt helpless. After the eldest brother split up the family, he was too selfish. He only cared about his own family and had no affection for his brothers.

"Dad, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Nothing, I'm used to it."

"I'll make you something delicious when I get home!" When you're in a bad mood, it's best to eat some sweets.

"You do it?"

"uh-huh."

"Then I have to taste it."

…………

"Aunt Guan, is there any cooked rice at home?"

"It's still cooking. Are you hungry, miss? How about a snack first?"

"No, then you can cook another pot of rice, I can use it."

"Yes." On the first day of serving the lady, her husband told her to do whatever the master told her to do and do more and talk less.

"Aunt Guan, put the rice in a bowl. A bigger bowl. This is it."

"Spread it out and let it air dry. I'll come over after dinner."

After dinner, Xiaomi went to see the rice drying in the sun, and Wang accompanied her, while Lin Dashan went to build the house. They planted vegetables in one room of the house while drying the rice, so there was no waste of time.

Wang started cooking in the kitchen as soon as she entered. She liked cooking with her daughter.

"Mom, pour the oil and fry the rice."

Wang started pouring the oil without blinking an eye. Guan's eyes twitched when she saw this. The lady really loved the young lady.

"Sizzle, sizzle..." The snow-white rice exploded in the oil pan, and the rice became fluffy and looked like popcorn. "Mom, take it out!"

"Aunt Guan, go get some maltose. Mom, pour out the oil in the pot. Don't wash the pot. Pour half a bucket of water. Aunt Guan, bring some sugar."

After the water boils, add sugar on low heat and simmer until the large bubbles in the syrup become small and turn into caramel color.

"Aunt Guan, the fire is out."

"Mom, pour the rice in and stir it. All the rice should be coated with sugar and stirred evenly. Hurry!"

"Aunt Guan, bring us the mold we just prepared." It was a square wooden box. Guan Zhuangtou made two for her at noon and washed and dried them.

The rice grains were all spread out in the small wooden box, "Mom, rolling pin, smooth it out."

"Okay, Aunt Guan, please wash the pot so that we can eat it later and have a taste!"

"What the young lady cooks must be delicious." It would be strange if it didn't taste good, considering the rice, oil residue and sugar.
