Farming and reading family

Gao E looked at Chen Ke suspiciously, feeling that Chen Ke's words had a hidden meaning.

Although she is not the original owner, she can clearly feel that the current Chen Ke is very different from before.

At that time, she suspected that Chen Ke was reincarnated, but later she gave up the idea when she saw that Chen Ke did not show any abnormality.

"If it involves life, then it is not a dispute of pride, so of course I have to help." Gao E said it very straightforwardly.

Chen Ke was silent.

The couple didn't say anything and just went to the city quietly.

They first went to find the lime seller, paid a few more copper coins and asked them to deliver it directly to Batou Village.

Afterwards, Gao E went straight to the pawnshop she had chosen in advance.

"What are you doing here, ma'am?" Chen Ke was puzzled.

"I still have some jewelry, but I don't need it now, so I'll sell it first." Gao E planned to sell it directly.

Those silver ornaments can be used directly as silver, but some pearl flowers can only be converted into cash.

Chen Ke was shocked, he knew how much Gao treasured her jewelry.

It can be said that Gao would rather sell her son than buy her jewelry, which was her last bit of dignity.

Now he just said he sold it, and said it so easily.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke in shock and said, "It's okay. I'll buy the latest styles when I can afford them."

Chen Ke didn't know what to say for a moment, and watched Gao E go in.

Those were Gao E's most precious dowry. Although they were not the latest styles, the workmanship and style were impeccable.

After some bargaining with the pawnshop owner, he sold it for thirty-two taels.

This was much less than what Gao E had calculated, but it was just like that when she was in a hurry to sell, so she didn't mind.

Afterwards, the two of them went to buy things for the groundbreaking ceremony and sacrifice. Chen Ke followed Gao E without saying a word.

Gao E didn't care. If Chen Ke hadn't been reasonable, she would definitely have thought about divorce, making money, and raising cubs.

After buying these, Gao E thought that Chen Jie was going to help them catch fish, so she went to buy some more salt and ginger. At least she had to remove the fishy smell when cooking the fish.

In fact, she also planned to buy some oil, but it turned out to be more expensive than meat. Thinking that she had to use the money to buy food, she had to give up.

After another calculation, adding the silver she had collected before, Gao E had about one hundred taels of silver in her pocket.

This is a huge sum of money for ordinary farmers, but for Gao E, who has nothing, it means she has spent all her savings.

She didn't know how the original owner died, so she could only make all the preparations, and food must not be missing.

When they returned to the cave, lime and bricks had already been delivered and several people were moving them inside.

"Second brother." Chen Jie ran over immediately after seeing them come back. "I asked for a few more bricks to be sent. It will be more convenient for us to build a stove later."

"You've thought it through very carefully." Chen Ke nodded.

Chen Jie smiled even more happily after being praised. Then he saw the carriage and asked, "What did my second brother buy again?"

"You all stay for dinner." Gao E said directly.

"Okay." Chen Jie immediately became energized and went to work.

People just need to eat some oily food. I didn’t eat much at noon and didn’t feel hungry all afternoon.

After the money for the lime and bricks was settled and the people on both sides left, they started cooking.

Chen Qing was sawing bamboo while there was still some daylight, hoping to finish the fence as soon as possible.

Yang has already returned to Chen's house, and she also needs to cook there.

The multi-grain soup noodles we had for dinner were made of multi-grains, but they contained meat and even the wild vegetables were fragrant.

After dinner, Chen Jie squeezed to Chen Ke's side and said, "Brother, we are going to go fishing. Can we use your carriage?"

"You need to talk to your sister-in-law about this." Chen Ke said in a low voice.

Mrs. Lei saw him acting furtively and said, "You're nothing." She raised her head and looked at her second sister-in-law who was resting on a bamboo chair. "Second sister-in-law, can we take the carriage to go fishing? It's a good time to let the horses go."

"Okay, be careful and bring the lantern with you. The road is difficult to walk on at night. It doesn't matter if you can't catch any fish. Safety comes first." Gao E reminded.

Chen Jie widened his eyes. When did his sister-in-law become so easy to talk to?

Chen Ke smiled and said, "Then be careful."

"Oh." Chen Jie still felt it was a little unreal.

The two men happily drove the carriage to catch fish, and brought two backpacks.

Maybe he felt that since the carriage was borrowed, it would be a bit stingy to bring only a backpack.

Chen Ke looked at Gao E sitting in the chair uncomfortably and said, "If you are tired, go to bed early."

Gao E was indeed tired. She had somewhat underestimated the impact of advanced pregnancy on her body. "Master Qin will be here tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, you and the third child will go to the market to buy food."

Chen Ke nodded: "Don't worry, I'll remember it."

"Buy more grains too," Gao E suddenly asked. "Have you prepared any horse feed?"

In the past, these were all prepared by Gao E. There was someone in charge at home, so Gao E just had to give instructions to pay the money, and Chen Ke never asked about it.

"No." Chen Ke said honestly.

"Then buy more beans and prepare more horse feed." Gao E calculated.

It is much more convenient to have a carriage, especially when you need it to do something in the future.

The two of them discussed it and Chen Ke wrote it down one by one. Gao E watched the four children wash their faces and go to bed, and she also planned to go to bed.

Gao E didn't know how long she had slept, but she woke up with a start. Hearing the muffled excitement outside, she reacted and got up sideways.

Chen Jie and Gao moved the fish and shrimp into the yard.

"Why didn't I realize before that it's so easy to catch fish here in our dam?" Chen Jie repeated excitedly several times.

Chen Ke looked at a pile of one-foot-long fish and wondered if this was a sign.

But he was not in the village at that time and had no idea of ​​such a omen.

"Yes, yes, that fish jumped onto the shore like an idiot." Lei said excitedly, "And there are shrimps, all stranded in the cracks of the rocks, just pick them up."

When Gao E came out of the cave, she saw piles of fish and shrimps in the yard.

Those who knew knew that they were fishing in the river, while those who didn’t thought they were robbing someone’s fish pond.

"So many?" Gao E was surprised.

Seeing that her second sister-in-law had woken up, Mrs. Lei didn't lower her voice: "If there is no more room, we will come back."

"Yes, it's free." Chen Jie said immediately.

The two men took the fish out of the carriage and piled them all over the ground.

Gao E felt a headache. She heard from Lei that Chen Jie was good at catching fish, but she didn't expect him to be so good at it.

"Second sister-in-law, you eat first, and then we'll go catch more after you finish eating." Chen Jie said with a smile.

Gao E looked at the fish and shrimp and asked, "Are they really that easy to catch?"

"The fish is right here and we can still deceive Second Sister-in-law." Lei spread her hands.

Gao E thought about it seriously and said: "We definitely can't finish all of this. We can make it into smoked fish tomorrow."

"Smoked fish?" Lei had never heard of it. "How do you eat it after it's smoked?"

"You'll know tomorrow." Gao E suddenly thought that selling smoked fish was not a bad idea.

Even if you don't sell the smoked fish, you can stockpile some for yourself. With so many people in the Chen family, stockpiling this little smoked fish is no big deal.

"Do you need salt? Salt is expensive." Lei felt a little distressed.

Gao E looked at Lei's expression and wanted to laugh: "I'll give it to you when it's done."
