The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

It's winter now, the wind is biting and the ground is bleak. The sour plum soup that was once popular in the summer has long since died out.

The newly launched hot milk tea has been quite popular, as it is made with milk and tea leaves, which is not too affected. The aroma of tea and milk tea mixed together, exuding a unique and warm aroma on a cold winter day. Holding a hot cup in your hand is so comfortable.

Although the common people lived a tight life due to lack of food and struggled for food and clothing every day, the lives of the wealthy families in the town were not particularly affected.

They still lived a luxurious life, wearing gorgeous clothes and enjoying delicious food. For them, food shortage did not seem to be a big problem, as they had enough wealth to obtain the necessary supplies.

Therefore, Xie Songlin's hot milk tea is very popular among the ladies and girls of wealthy families. Like Zuiyuelou, he has become one of the few shops in the town that is open until the New Year.

Shen Yuxi was also preparing to go home. Xie Songlin paid him the remaining silver and prepared a few bags of food for him to take back.

Shen Yuxi naturally knew how expensive food was these days. His face flushed, and he repeatedly waved his hands, refusing to accept the food. "Uncle Xie, I'm already embarrassed to have you stay here and eat for a few days. How can I take your food back? You have so many people at home!"

"Okay, Yunhan, my uncle's family doesn't need these bags of food. Take them back and have a happy New Year with your family." Xie Songlin stuffed the bags into his hands without allowing him to refuse. "I see how much you care about Lan'er and the others."

Shen Yuxi knew that Xie Songlin's intentions were sincere and deep, and he could no longer refuse. He held the bag tightly, his eyes slightly moist, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle Xie, I will remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, please let me know."

"Of course, uncle won't be polite with you." Xie Songlin patted his shoulder, "Okay, go back quickly. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, Uncle Xie, take care of yourself too."

Shen Yuxi brought the food back home. The happiest person was his sister-in-law. When she saw her brother-in-law coming back with a few bags of food, she gave him a good look for the first time in a long time.

"Oh, you finally know how to bring food home!" Shen Yuxi's sister-in-law, Ye, took a few bags of food from him and opened them. Her surprise was beyond words. "It's actually fine rice and noodles. These things can't be bought outside even if you have money. Where did you get so much?"

Shen Yuxi: "I work as a teacher in a boss's home. This was given to me before I came back."

"What kind of boss is this? He's so generous?" Ye looked him up and down. "What about your monthly salary? This boss should give you a lot. I think the scholars in this area can earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver a month."

"How can it be so much? Sister-in-law, he is a scholar, and I am just a poor student. It's good enough that the boss is willing to keep me. There is no monthly salary. The boss only takes care of my food and drink." Shen Yuxi's eyes were slightly lowered, and his expression was a little stiff.

Ye understood as soon as she saw his expression: "Don't lie to me, take it out quickly. Your mother is still taking medicine. You made money but didn't give it to your family? You want to keep it for yourself?"

Ye's eyes were full of suspicion and anxiety. She stared at Shen Yuxi closely, as if trying to find a flaw in his expression.

"Sister-in-law, I really don't have it." Shen Yuxi clutched the bag tightly, pursing his lips tightly. His heart was full of entanglement and helplessness. He didn't want to lie to his sister-in-law, but this was the money he had saved for the exam next year. If he gave it to his sister-in-law, he would never get it back.

Ye was still trying to make trouble, and during the stalemate, Shen Yuxi's elder brother Shen Danian came back from working in the fields.

When he saw his younger brother coming back, Shen Danian came over happily to greet him: "Ernian is back." Shen Ernian was Shen Yuxi's previous name. Because of his outstanding academic performance, the teacher in the school at that time felt that this name was inappropriate, so he changed his name to Shen Yuxi.

"Brother." Shen Yuxi seemed to have seen a savior. He really didn't know how to deal with his sister-in-law.

Shen Danian looked at the tense atmosphere between his brother and his wife, feeling somewhat puzzled. He turned to look at Ye and asked, "What's going on?"

Ye was about to open her mouth to complain, but Shen Yuxi said first: "It's nothing, big brother, I found a teaching job in the city. The boss is very nice. He gave me a few bags of food before I came back."

"Oh, it's refined rice! That's a big help." Shen Danian said happily, "I just went to the fields to plant some winter vegetables, and now you've brought back so much food. If we add this to what we have at home, it will be enough for us to eat until next autumn harvest."

"Shen Danian, your brother is quite cunning. His boss is so generous, but he actually lied to me and said he didn't have any monthly salary." Ye snorted coldly.

Shen Danian frowned slightly, looked at Ye and said, "It's not easy for Er to study alone outside for a year. We haven't given him much on weekdays. Now that he has brought back food, it's already very good. Don't make things difficult for him."

Although Ye was dissatisfied, she did not dare to disobey her husband and could only shut up in disappointment.

Shen Danian patted Shen Yuxi on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Ernian, let's go into the house and have a good chat." Shen Yuxi looked at his elder brother gratefully and followed him into the house.

Ye stood there, watching the two brothers walk into the house, the anger in her heart growing. She bit her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and her face was full of unwillingness.

She felt that she had contributed so much to the family, but her brother-in-law was so selfish and refused to give money to help the family.

The more Ye thought about it, the angrier she became. She paced back and forth in the yard. However, no matter how angry she was, her thoughts soon turned to the grain. She narrowed her eyes slightly and began to think about how to take some of the grain back to her parents' home.

Ye knew that her parents' family was also having a hard time, and these refined rice and flour were undoubtedly a timely help. She thought she could find an excuse to secretly take some food back to her parents' family, and then she didn't know how to save face in front of her family.

After Ye made up her mind, she looked at the room where Shen Danian and Shen Yuxi were from time to time to make sure they didn't notice what was happening on her side.

She quietly moved several bags of grain to a secluded corner, found some tattered cloth, wrapped some of the grain, and carefully hid it in an abandoned water tank in the yard. She also covered it with some miscellaneous items to ensure it would not be easily discovered.

After hiding the food, Ye pretended nothing had happened and continued with the work in her hands, preparing to prepare today's dinner.
