Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

The sun was shining and the air was thick with the heat of summer.

The cicadas behind the house chirped as if they were participating in a singing competition, with the sounds rising one after another.

After Ye Guo woke up, he took a walk in the vegetable garden and then continued eating.

In addition to lotus root, white rice porridge and cabbage, she also has a bowl of her own steamed egg.

Ye Wan had already delivered the meal. These days she was mainly staying at home as a caregiver and, by the way, continued to make the sauce.

The perilla clusters in the backyard were visibly empty. But it didn't matter, as Ye Guo had already planted a batch of cuttings in the four corners of the backyard.

I also asked the two little ones to go under the trees on the nearby mountain and dig up a lot of leaf mold. I also asked Acheng and Ali to help build a simple shed and use thatched grass to provide shade. The plants will grow soon.

Perilla sauce smells good and tastes even better. It is perfect with porridge or rice, so Ye Laoer suggested making more and giving some to the villagers, especially to those who are close to him and have frequent interactions with him, such as the head of the village, Aunt Li, and the clan elders. In addition to a full bowl of sauce, he also added a small amount of mint sauce.

Rural people are not particular about this. When the sauce is delivered to their doorstep, they will take it consciously, pour it into their own bowl, then wash the bowl that originally contained the sauce and say thank you with a smile.

Ye Guo did not visit every household. He only went to the village head's house and brought a dried bamboo rat with him, where he received a warm welcome.

The wife of the village head looked younger than Old Lady Ye, but in fact she was much older. She was wearing a gray coarse linen shirt with no patches except on the cuffs.

Her eyes were filled with kindness and concern, and her enthusiasm for Ye Guo was like a spring breeze.

"Just sit still and relax. I'll ask the old lady to make you a cup of honey water. Xiaowan also has some." It can be seen that her family often receives guests. In the yard at the door, in addition to stools, there is also a small square table.

She was all smiles, and her words revealed her concern and love for the original owner. Whether it was soft-spoken inquiries or warm eye contact, it made Ye Guo feel the warmth and care of family.

"Thank you Aunt Hehua for your concern. I am feeling much better now." Ye Guo said with a smile. In the original owner's memory, she had even drunk her breast milk.

No wonder, when I heard that she was sick, even the laying hen could be borrowed from her.

"I heard from your mother that you had a fever again a few days ago. Did you eat eggs on time every day?" The village chief was the only "official" that the villagers could contact, so everyone habitually called her "wife of the village chief".

In the entire Yejia Village, only Ye Guo would affectionately call her Aunt Lotus. Lotus was her maiden name.

"Hurry up, drink something sweet, you loved it the most when you were a child." Ye Guo nodded and thanked the eldest daughter-in-law of the village head. The latter looked ordinary, but she had some flesh on her body and a blessed face.

"Xiaoguo, you have to sit here for a while today. Mom is always talking about you. If there wasn't a baby at home, she would have gone to your house to see you in person a long time ago."

Ye Guo showed Li Hehua a tooth-sweet smile, "Aunt has always loved me the most. When Shuanzi and nephew hold their hundred-day celebration banquet, I will definitely come with my parents."

The child is small, and the mother has just finished her confinement. She cannot be exposed to the wind or the baby. Ye Guo was not surprised. He was already thinking about what to give as a suitable gift.

"Shuanzi will definitely feel proud now that my younger sister is here." The eldest daughter-in-law of the village head said with a smile as she placed a basin of hawthorn fruit on the table. She was not flattering anyone. Ye Guo was a legend in Yejia Village, and everyone who saw her would not want to get some blessing.

Li Hehua smiled, touched Ye Guo's little head, and said in an exaggerated manner, "Come here, I'll let you sit at the main table. I guarantee that since you are the youngest, they will let you eat first."

Ye Guo's face flushed, but she agreed confidently, "Then you have to let me eat first. Only when I'm done will everyone be happy."

Everyone praised each other and their laughter spread far away.

Ye Wan's face was always full of smiles, her eyes sparkling with envy and yearning: My aunt is really amazing. She can say whatever she wants to the adults in the village, no matter how old they are.

Unlike them, they dare not speak when the adults have a gloomy face.

"The sauce was made by Xiaowan. If Aunt Hehua thinks it tastes good, just let us know in advance and we'll send it over." This was something the family had discussed in advance. As long as there was Perilla left, they would have enough.

Li Hehua smiled even more happily, "Then I'll let the village head and the others try the taste later. Xiaoguo, do you want to stay and have dinner with us?"

In the village, if someone invites you to stay for dinner, it means you have a true friendship with them.

Ye Wan was a little hesitant. The food in the headman's house must be much better than at home. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Ye Guo's clear voice.

"The hens at home must have laid eggs by now, and I was thinking about going home to eat them." This was said cleverly, not only refusing the offer of dinner, but also praising Li Hehua for her previous generosity.

Li Hehua didn't insist on this matter. She called her daughter-in-law over and told her to bring some food to Ye Guo, but she was interrupted, "No need, Aunt Hehua. My niece-in-law needs to replenish her body now. I'm still young and there's meat at home. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."

Putting the two clean bowls into the backpack, Ye Wan carried it on her back swiftly. After saying goodbye to Li Hehua, she left with Ye Guo.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the village head came out of the west room in a daze and saw her mother-in-law going to see someone off. She hurriedly took a few raw eggs from the kitchen and stuffed them into Ye Wan's backpack.

When they came back together, she asked cautiously, "Mom, did I take too little stuff just now?"

Before she got married, she knew that her mother-in-law favored her younger sister-in-law.

She didn't care about that. Just looking at Ye Guo's decisive style of leaving, it was really hard to dislike him.

Li Hehua knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was especially reluctant to move in the summer because she was fat, but she was still sensible. So she joked, "If it's not enough, give it to your daughter-in-law. Send it to her in person."

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village head pouted and felt a little reluctant.

Li Hehua saw this expression and couldn't help but scolded with a smile: "Luckily you only took four eggs. If you took a few more, I guess you wouldn't be able to give away all four."

"Xiaoguo said that the meat wrapped in lotus leaves is bamboo rat meat. Just cook it the same way as chicken. We can give it to everyone to taste in the evening. As for the lotus flowers, you can put them in a bottle with water and send them to Shuanzi's wife's room to make her happy."

The head of the village, the eldest daughter-in-law, opened her mouth so wide that an egg could fit in.

This……

Li Hehua narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Xiaoguo is such a thoughtful girl. She even gave me a new hairband." The red hairband was tied around Li Hehua's wrist. It was more eye-catching than the silver bracelet on her hand.

The village head's eldest daughter-in-law opened her eyes slightly wide, "Mother, then what do you want me to prepare to send to Xiaoguo?"

This is meat, and it makes the mother-in-law so happy. Although she doesn't benefit directly, Shuanzi is her son!

Li Hehua glanced at her sideways, "Now you're not saying I'm biased? Xiaoguo is just repaying a favor, so why does she need you to give her anything?"

The village head's eldest daughter-in-law smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. I just didn't expect that Xiaoguo's family is so difficult, but he is still so sincere to you."

Especially, generous.

In the village, meat was only available when gifts were given during the New Year. And the sauce, I don’t know what secret recipe it was made of, but she was drooling over the delicious taste when she changed the bowls.

"Xiao Wan, how much silver does it cost to buy a loom?" Ye Guo asked seriously while walking on the ridge of the field.

In the original owner's memory, in this era, women at home could not only raise chickens, but also weave cloth. There was a limit to what could be raised as chickens needed to be fed with food.

But if you are diligent in weaving, you can supplement your family income. Or at least you can wear it yourself!

Ye Guo himself only had three sets of clothes, which were just enough for changing and washing after mending them.

People like Ah Cheng have only one set.
