Qiao Lianer searched his memory and remembered that this was Qin Bu, the widower from the north of the village.

Three years after their marriage, Qin Bu's wife died of complications during childbirth. Since then, he has never remarried and has been living alone. Some people say that he is unlucky in marriage and no one is willing to marry their daughter to him.

Year after year passed, and now at the age of thirty, he was still alone.

What was he doing at the Qiao family's doorstep now? Qiao Jianer walked over.

"Uncle Qin, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, I, I have some extra food at home, more than one person can finish, so I donated some to the village. These are for your family."

Qin Bu said this and handed the thing in his hand to Qiao Jianer.

"The jar contains pickled beans, this is smoked sea bass, and this is smoked duck. It's not much, so don't be disgusted."

Qin Bu glanced at Qiao Yunni who was making clothes under the eaves. She was concentrating on sewing a pair of trousers and seemed to be distracted again.

Qiao Jianer smiled but didn't take it.

"Uncle Qin, these are pickled and won't go bad even if they are kept for a long time. You can just keep them and eat them slowly."

Qin Bu was a little overwhelmed by the rejection. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your family's farmland is not good, and the harvest is not much every year. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, sickle."

His words made Qiao Jianer confirm that he was specifically delivering something to the Qiao family.

However, this happened a bit suddenly, and it would be awkward for her to accept it, and it would be awkward for her not to accept it either.

Qiao Yunni also put down the work in her hands and walked over.

Because there were guests, she walked a little faster and her body swayed slightly.

Qin Bu suddenly became a little nervous and raised his hand as if he wanted to go over to help the person, but he held himself back.

"Sister Yunni, be careful."

"It's okay, my legs and feet are getting better day by day." Qiao Yunni came to the door with a smile on her face.

"Brother Qin, although our house is shabby now, we have food and useful things. You don't need to worry about it. Just live your life well."

Qin Bu's face was filled with embarrassment, but he was still very resolute: "My family really can't finish it all, so you guys should accept it. Life is not easy for the Qiao family, and you just came back from the Song family, and there are two more mouths to feed."

As he said that, he stuffed the jar into Qiao Jianer's hand and handed the smoked fish and smoked duck to Qiao Yunni.

The two of them were afraid of falling, so they instinctively caught it.

When they looked up again, Qin Bu was already walking away with his long legs. He walked very fast, as if he was afraid that they would catch up with him.

Qiao Yunni looked at his back, then at the thing in his hand, a little stunned.

Ten years ago, when she gave birth to Song Ruier, Song Lao San went to join the army. However, before joining the army, he was lukewarm towards her. This was the first time she received care from a man.

"Mom, this Uncle Qin is here for you." Qiao Jianer winked at Qiao Yunni.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Yunni pretended to be angry, but she felt a little touched in her heart, but it was just touching.

When Qiao Jianer opened the jar, a sour and fragrant smell filled his nose. Inside was a handful of long cowpeas pickled, at least five pounds.

Look at the cloth bag in Qiao Yunni's hand. There are three smoked sea bass and two smoked ducks, all smoked to a shiny red color, and a tempting meaty aroma wafts out.

In the countryside where eating meat is a luxury, the fact that so much food was given out at once shows the thoughtfulness of the people involved.

Qiao Jianer didn't believe it and gave it to another family.

"I didn't expect Uncle Qin's craftsmanship is so good." Qiao Jianer said, putting the jar on the counter, and hanging the smoked sea bass and smoked duck above the stove. These smoked products must continue to be smoked to maintain their quality.

"Your Uncle Qin's cooking skills are excellent. People in the village say that his cooking skills are better than many young girls and wives. Some people even go to his house specifically to buy these pickled and smoked things."

Qiao Yunni sat back down at the sewing table and continued to work.

"But he gave us the Qiao family so many things. We can't just accept them for nothing. We'll send a few kilograms of dried mushrooms over in a couple of days."

"Okay." Qiao Jianer certainly knew the principle of reciprocity.

As Qiao Yunni was sewing pants, she couldn't help but recall some past events, and a confused look appeared on her face.

But quickly, she shook her head and suppressed the thoughts that came to her mind.

The space was filled with another cup of divine water. Qiao Jian'er was about to pour it on the cabbages when he suddenly thought of Qiao Yunni.

She took the glass of water out of the space, poured it into a bowl, and moved it in front of Qiao Yunni.

"Mom, drink some water."

"I just drank, I'm not thirsty."

"Just drink it, Mom." Qiao Jianer started to act coquettishly.

Qiao Yunni didn't know why Qiao Jianer insisted that she drink the water, but she still took it with a smile.

"Okay, Mom, drink it. Drink it all." Then she drank the whole bowl of water in one breath, as if coaxing a child.

No matter how smart Jianer is, he is only twelve years old, so it is normal for him to have some childish mentality.

This bowl of water is a little sweet. After drinking it, I have an indescribable feeling that spreads throughout my body.

Qiao Yunni just thought that she was a little tired from making too many clothes, so she drank cold water, which had a refreshing effect.

After drinking too much water, Qiao Yunni got up and went to the toilet after a while.

For some reason, she seemed to feel that her steps were more stable and she could walk faster without her body shaking.

Qiao Yunni was surprised.

She thought about trying to run, but then thought better of it.

Looking at Qiao Yunni's gait, Qiao Lian'er knew that the magic water really worked. If she drank it a few more times, she would probably be back to normal.

It’s just that she didn’t think of it at first, otherwise Qiao Yunni would have recovered now.

"Yun Ni, your family also bought pigs, chickens, ducks, and a puppy. You've bought everything." A neighbor passed by the door and heard the hustle and bustle in the Qiao family's yard. He looked out and saw that there were so many livestock at once.

Qiao Yunni was still making clothes. In the basket beside her, there was a pile of cloth in various colors. In another smaller basket, there were insoles and cut shoe patterns of various sizes.

All of these require money to buy.

Qiao Yunni smiled at the villagers and said, "It's just a little scraping out of my teeth. It's for piglets, chickens, and ducks. It doesn't cost any money. Just be diligent and raise them up, and you can have meat to eat."

The villagers thought that the Qiao family had become rich, and they couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard this.

He also said a few nice words before leaving.

Qiao Yunni shook her head. Some people are just like this. They laugh at others but hate others. Who can really hope that others will live a good life?

When the sun was setting, the Qiao family members came back one after another, each of them carrying a full backpack. Those with less strength had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

"At least 300 kilograms were found." Old man Qiao announced the good news as soon as he entered the door.
