Xie Songlin was transporting relief food, while on the other side, Cheng Hui and Xie Wanxing began to stroll around Yunxiu Town. The streets of the town were bustling with people coming and going, and there were so many novel things that they couldn't take their eyes off.

The main street of this town is really wide, it can accommodate three carriages driving side by side. Xie Wanxing followed Cheng Hui, walking slowly in front with a look of curiosity on his face, his eyes constantly looking at the various shops and stalls on both sides of the street, and from time to time he stopped to take a closer look at those interesting little things.

Xie Kang drove the carriage steadily, following behind at a leisurely pace, making sure not to lose him while also being careful not to let the carriage hit pedestrians or stalls on the street.

As Xie Wanxing walked, his eyes were attracted by the candied haws displayed on the roadside stalls. The strings of candied haws, the red haws wrapped in a layer of crystal clear sugar coating, sparkled with an attractive luster under the sunlight.

She immediately walked up to the stall owner and said crisply, "Boss, give me two candied haws!"

After saying that, she waved at Cheng Hui and said, "Mother, come and pay."

Cheng Hui paid the money, and Xie Wanxing took the two candied haws and trotted over to Xie Kang. He held one of the candied haws high in front of Xie Kang and said sweetly, "Brother Kang, this is for you!"

Xie Kang took it with a flattered look on his face and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Xie Wanxing skipped back to Cheng Hui, holding the remaining candied haws tightly in her hand. She took a bite and slowly chewed it. Her eyes lit up and she quickly chewed it and swallowed it. She said to Cheng Hui with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect this candied haws to be so delicious. The ancient people were quite good at it."

She finished chewing the candied haws in her hand in a few bites. After eating, she subconsciously wanted to find a place to throw away the wooden stick in her hand. But when she raised her head and looked around, she suddenly realized that this was not the modern world. There are convenient trash cans everywhere on the modern streets, and she can just throw the trash away.

But there were no trash cans on these ancient streets. Although there were other people who littered on the ground, Xie Wanxing was deeply influenced by modern education and she really couldn't litter on the street. She frowned and hesitated for a long time, and finally found a gap in the corner of the carriage, stuffed the wooden stick in, and planned to throw it away when she got home.

Xie Wanxing took Cheng Hui's hand and asked as they walked, "Mom, what are you going to buy today?"

Cheng Hui thought for a moment and said, "How about buying some white flour and refined rice? That relief food is probably not good stuff. We have money anyway, and we can just move some out from the space. If it's mixed in, Aunt Li and the others won't be able to tell. She'll just think I bought something good."

Cheng Hui's attention was attracted by a butcher shop. The pieces of pork hanging in front of the shop looked very fresh. She immediately became interested and hurriedly took Xie Wanxing's hand and walked over.

When she reached the butcher's shop, Cheng Hui shouted to the butcher standing behind the chopping board with a smile on her face, "Boss, give me half a pig."

Upon hearing this, the butcher's face immediately lit up with a warm smile, and he responded cheerfully, "Very well, ma'am! You've come at the right time. These are all pigs that were just slaughtered this morning. They're very fresh. Feel free to buy them!"

Xie Wanxing was shocked: "Mom, why did you buy so much?"

"That's not too much, think about it. There are so many people at home, and tonight I plan to make a delicious braised pork. I'll share some with your grandma and the others to satisfy everyone's cravings. As for the rest of the meat, I'll have Aunt Li pickle it so it's convenient to eat later." Cheng Hui slapped her head, "Oh, right, right, I have to buy some salt, otherwise I won't be able to pickle the meat."

Cheng Hui gave the money readily. Xie Kang, who had been following behind, saw that she bought so much pork and immediately jumped off the carriage. He walked to the butcher's shop in a few steps, took the heavy pork from the butcher and put it into the carriage.

Cheng Hui bought some meat and packed some cabbage and winter melon to take back. Finally, she went to the grain store to buy some cheap food. However, she didn't buy much, but asked the store owner for a few extra large sacks. She planned to secretly replace all of these with the rice and flour in the space when she was in the car, and also pack more food.

She purchased a batch of new pots, pans, and other utensils, and also bought some ready-made tables and chairs. The store promised to deliver them to her door today. Although Xie Songmu is a carpenter, the current situation is a bit tricky. There are too many places in the house that need him to make furniture. The villagers probably also want him to make some furniture. Moreover, it is difficult to find suitable wood at the moment.

Thinking about it again, eating is something that cannot be delayed for a single day. The family must have a safe and comfortable place to sit together and eat. After weighing the pros and cons, Cheng Hui felt that it would be better to buy some ready-made tables and chairs to deal with the emergency.

Cheng Hui had almost finished purchasing everything she needed in the town. Just as she finished, Xie Songlin and the others had also finished collecting relief food. So, the group returned to the village in a mighty procession.

As soon as he arrived in the village, Xie Songlin was not idle. He immediately took charge of the distribution of food, calling on each household to send someone to collect food. While counting the number of food bags, he carefully checked the list to ensure that every household could get the relief food they deserved.

After returning home, Cheng Hui started to get busy with Aunt Li and the others, preparing to pack up the things they bought from the town today.

Cheng Hui asked Xie Kang to help Li move the half pork to the kitchen chopping board, and then asked him to stay in the kitchen to help cut the pork: "Aunt Li, this pork is very fresh. We will make braised pork tonight. I'll trouble you to marinate the rest."

Aunt Li smiled and replied, "Madam, don't worry."

After Cheng Hui had given instructions for all matters in the house, she left the kitchen again. As soon as she left the house, her eyes began to search around, and soon she caught Xie Ning.

Although Xie Ning usually had a cold face and seemed difficult to approach, Cheng Hui was particularly fond of him. This was partly because Xie Ning was very good-looking, but more importantly, it was because he was very obedient. He would do whatever she asked him to do without asking any questions, and he was also very strong.

Take the refined rice they bought from town today, for example. Xie Ning easily carried two heavy bags of refined rice by himself, and he looked quite relaxed.

Xie Kang is also a strong man and works diligently on weekdays, but he is far inferior to Xie Ning.

There was another main reason why Cheng Hui was thinking about Xie Ning at this moment. She had already replaced the grain bags in the car and put a lot more in. If Xie Kang was asked to unload the goods, Xie Kang was an honest person. If he saw that there were suddenly more things in the bags, he would probably ask a few more questions. But Xie Ning was different. He had no idea how much was in the bags when they were bought and loaded. Besides, this kid was never talkative and would not say a word when he was working.

The two sisters Qiuyue began to organize the new dishes and chopsticks. They carefully took them out of the package, washed them one by one, and then placed them neatly in the cupboard. As for the new table and chairs, since the store had not delivered the goods to their door yet, Cheng Hui planned the placement of them in the house in advance, and was waiting to put them in place as soon as the table and chairs arrived.
