Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After seeing Chen Dabao off, Chen Lang and his family sat in the yard to rest. Li Xiuzhi took out a box of snacks like a magic trick and distributed it to everyone.

Qin An was quite surprised and asked, "Xiuzhi, where did this snack come from?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "Erlang bought it a while ago, and I hid it."

"When I was cleaning the yard just now, I went to get all these hidden things back."

After saying that, he took out another pot, which contained not only cakes and snacks, but also a number of duck eggs.

Qin An sighed, "My sister is really...ah, I don't know how to describe her. We were a good family, but we turned into enemies."

"You even have to hide a snack. I really can't imagine what life was like for you in the Chen family before."

"It's better to divide this family."

Chen Lang said, "Uncle, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have some snacks."

Qin An put the snacks back into the pot and said, "No need. You have no rice or noodles now, and you rely on these snacks to fill your stomach."

"When I return to the county, I'll buy you some necessities and have someone send them back to you."

Chen Lang said, "Let Xiuzhi go with you. She's very attentive and knows what to buy."

Qin An said, "We're all gone. Is it okay for you and Guoguo to stay at home alone?"

Chen Lang said: "I'm just a little weak, but basic movements are still fine."

Qin An said, "Okay, hurry up and move quickly. Maybe we can get everything ready today."

Chen Lang pulled Li Xiuzhi aside and whispered, "Is the money all there?"

Li Xiuzhi nodded: "They are all here."

"Don't be stingy with your money. Buy what you need. These things will be useful when we have a new home in the future."

"When you come back, don't walk, take a carriage."

The reason for this reminder was that I was worried that Li Xiuzhi would be reluctant to spend the money and would walk back carrying so many bags. She was weak and could not withstand such hardship.

Li Xiuzhi said, "I understand. Don't get too tired at home. I'll be back as soon as possible."

After seeing Qin An and Li Xiuzhi off, Chen Lang took Guoguo and started to make the bed.

Although the bed frame and other parts are still there, they have been rotten for many years and are likely to collapse if you sleep on them.

Chen Lang dismantled the bed frame and piled the wood outside the kitchen as firewood. Then he took Guoguo outside to find hay to use as a temporary mattress.

Of course, sleeping on the ground is not a long-term solution, because the ground is too humid and it is easy to get rheumatism.

I'll run into Liu Dabizi tomorrow and order a set of beds, chairs, and benches from him. They don't need to be too expensive, just enough to get me through this period. Once we have a new home, I'll build a better set.

If you think of Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will come.

Just as Chen Lang stopped to rest, he saw Li Xiuzhi coming back in Liu Dabi's car.

After Liu Dabi helped to move the things out of the car, he comforted Chen Lang and prepared to leave.

Li Xiuzhi hurriedly told Chen Lang that she had not paid the taxi fare yet.

Chen Lang caught up with Big Nose Liu and said, "Brother Liu, you haven't received the fare yet."

Big Nose Liu waved his hand: "Forget it, you need money right now."

Chen Lang said, "That won't work. Let's put things in perspective. If you don't charge me, how can I ride in your car in the future?"

"And there will be times when you'll be in trouble in the future."

After saying that, he took out two coins and stuffed them into Liu Dabi's hand.

Big Nose Liu was stunned: "You must have taken the wrong thing. You don't need so much money."

"Apart from the car fare, the rest is the deposit for the beds, tables, chairs, and stools. As you can see, my temporary home doesn't even have a bed, so my whole family has to sleep on the floor."

"Please make me a set of the cheapest bed, chairs, tables and stools."

Big Nose Liu suddenly understood and nodded, "No problem. I'll tell Dad when I get home and I'll make you a set overnight so you can use it tomorrow."

Chen Lang held Big Nose Liu's hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much."

"Don't say that. In your situation, anyone who sees you will lend a hand."

"I'm leaving."

After seeing off Big Nose Liu, Chen Lang turned to Li Xiuzhi and said, "See, there are still many good people in this world."

Li Xiuzhi was also very emotional. She had not had much contact with the people in the village before and did not know them well. But after what happened today, she found that most of the people in this village were very kind.

Whether it was the village chief who spoke up for justice, or the young people like Chen Dabao who were eager to help, or Liu Dabizi who was not even willing to charge for the bus fare, or Uncle Qin An who rushed to pay in the county town, they were all kind and enthusiastic people.

Chen Lang walked over to the pile of goods and said, "Look at what you bought."

As Li Xiuzhi counted the items, she said, "My uncle gave me the money for these two quilts. I wanted to pay him, but I couldn't get him to pay."

Chen Lang said, "There will always be a chance to repay you in the future. But are my uncle and Qin really born of the same mother? Why is there such a big difference?"

Li Xiuzhi continued to count, "Five catties of rice, three catties of flour, two catties of rapeseed oil, and one catty of pork. All of this cost almost five cents of silver."

"Then there's salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, which together cost more than two coins."

"Before I was in charge of the household, I had no idea these things were so expensive. Especially the rice. I wanted to buy aged rice, but my uncle said that our whole family needed to recover and aged rice was too coarse and unsuitable, so he told me to buy polished rice."

"One pound of refined rice can buy three pounds of old rice. We can't eat like this anymore. Country people don't care about so many things. We're lucky to be able to eat our fill."

Chen Lang crossed his arms and looked at Li Xiuzhi with a smile.

He liked Li Xiuzhi, who was full of worldly charm.

Li Xiuzhi's chattering also made Chen Lang feel like he was at home.

This is how my parents lived in my previous life.

"Why are you looking at me?" Li Xiuzhi tidied for a long time and found Chen Lang laughing foolishly beside her, so she couldn't help asking.

Chen Lang said: "Because my wife is so beautiful, I am fascinated by her."

Li Xiuzhi twisted Chen Lang's arm coquettishly: "You are talking nonsense in broad daylight."

Guoguo was scratching his face: "Daddy, shame on you."

Chen Lang tapped Guoguo's nose: "I knew you were on your mother's side."

Guoguo hugged Chen Lang's thigh: "I'm on Daddy's side too!"

"Then you sleep alone tonight, and daddy and mommy sleep together, okay?" Chen Lang said with a wink.

Guoguo was shocked and shook her head repeatedly: "No, Guoguo is scared, Guoguo doesn't want to sleep alone."

Chen Lang added, "Then my dear daughter will sleep in the innermost bed tonight, and let Daddy sleep next to Mommy, okay?"

Although Guoguo really wanted to sleep between her parents, she looked at her father's pitiful eyes and finally nodded with grievance: "Okay."
