My humble days in ancient times

When the soil was almost dug, everyone worked together to build the wall.

On his side, Xu Qinghe was busy going to various places to look for a good place to buy fruit seedlings.

He traveled all the way, working tirelessly, asking around, and bought 500 peach saplings here, 500 yellow peach saplings there, and finally 50 pear saplings from an old farmer.

Seeing that Xu Qinghe brought back so many fruit seedlings, everyone was very motivated to prepare for planting.

Xu Ruyi directed everyone to plant the saplings in an orderly manner according to the planned area. Xu Ruyuan and Xu Qingyan also helped. Although they were not very strong, they also worked very hard.

After planting the saplings and watering them, Xu Qinghe looked at the promising orchard and said to Xu Ruyi with a smile, "That's great! Once these saplings grow and bear fruit, we'll have a lot of income."

Xu Ruyi nodded: "Yes, but you have to take good care of it during this period, and you can't be careless."

In the days that followed, Xu Ruyi visited the orchard every day, weeding the saplings and loosening the soil. Watching the saplings grow day by day, her heart was filled with anticipation. A better life was just one step closer.

Deep in the peach forest, there's a family, raising chickens and ducks by the hillside and beside the water. Flowers and wine abound, and they cultivate the fields, slowly brewing tea while the years pass. Hahahaha, Xu Ruyi closed her eyes, lost in a beautiful fantasy, imagining a beautiful pastoral life in the future.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. The smile on her face was as bright and beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. From then on, the picturesque scene kept appearing in her mind, making her intoxicated.

At this time, Tian Yuhe received good news: she had successfully given birth to a chubby, white son with a loud cry. The little guy had rosy skin and his little hands and feet kept waving, looking adorable.

Xu Dachuan was overjoyed and enthusiastically named him Xu Dachun. Simply because the child was born in this spring full of vitality, this name carries Xu Dachuan's beautiful expectations and hopes for the flourishing development of the new life.

When the villagers heard the news, they started talking about it. Someone said, "Why not call him Xu Chunsheng? Dachun sounds so vulgar?"

Someone else immediately retorted, "Don't give your child a name that's too grand or elaborate. Give him a simple name so he's easier to raise. For a child, a simple name can actually ward off disasters and help him grow up safely."

Xu Ruyi had just returned from the wasteland that day, with beads of sweat still hanging on her forehead and her hair a little messy. On the way, she saw Brother Luo Biancheng.

After not seeing her for several months, Xu Ruyi had grown taller and looked even more graceful. Luo Biancheng looked her up and down with a bit of curiosity and said, "You really change every day. Every time I see you, you feel different."

When Xu Ruyi heard this, she just smiled shyly, with a hint of shyness in her smile.

Luo Biancheng looked around and asked, "There's a lot of activity and dust in the wasteland to the west. Who is building a wall there?"

At this time, Xu Shiyan ran over like a happy little bird and said, "Brother Luo, our family built it."

Luo Biancheng looked at Xu Ruyi with a questioning look in his eyes. Xu Ruyi nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

Xu Ruyi blinked and asked, "Brother Luo, are you here to buy chili oil today?"

Luo Biancheng nodded after hearing this. Xu Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "I must go to Ruyi Chili Shop in the future."

Luo Biancheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then please take me there now."

Xu Ruyi led Xu Qingyan in front, walking briskly, while Luo Biancheng and his companions followed slowly behind, heading towards Ruyi Chili Shop.

Soon, the group arrived at Ruyi Chili Shop. Xu Ruyi said with a warm smile, "Brother Luo, let me introduce you. This is Master Du, who is now in charge of our chili oil business. He is quite capable."

Du Lei hurriedly bowed and said politely to Luo Biancheng, "Boss Luo, please come in."

Luo Biancheng and Xu Ruyi walked into the reception room side by side, and Song Ping'an came over swiftly to serve them tea.

After Luo Biancheng sat down, he accidentally saw the portraits in the room and asked curiously, "Why are there portraits of these two people hanging here? They are so well painted, so lifelike. Who are they?"

Xu Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "They were two restless thieves who tried to steal things from our house a few days ago and were caught red-handed."

After hearing this, Luo Biancheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter was hearty.

Inside, Luo Biancheng and Xu Ruyi were chatting happily, while outside, the guys and Du Lei's family were busy loading the truck.

Soon, several trucks of goods were loaded and Xu Ruyi's warehouse was emptied.

This time, Luo Biancheng asked for a full five thousand kilograms.

Xu Ruyi said to Luo Biancheng with concern: "How is Brother Luo's egg pancake and rice ball business?"

Luo Biancheng smiled and replied, "My mother and my wife are doing well. The business is getting more and more prosperous. Now, I don't have to worry about them running out of money if I don't work."

Xu Ruyi smiled and nodded, then said enthusiastically, "Brother Luo, please have dinner here today. Let's eat before we leave and try our cooking skills."

Luo Biancheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xu. There will be opportunities in the future. I was thinking of coming again this autumn! I have to rush back now, otherwise the timing will be wrong."

Xu Ruyi nodded in understanding.

Luo Biancheng stood up to say goodbye, and Xu Ruyi and the others escorted him to the door. Luo Biancheng got on the carriage and waved to everyone: "Everyone, go back. See you in the fall!"

The carriage slowly drove away. Xu Ruyi looked at the carriage going away, her heart full of anticipation.

Back at the Chili Shop, Xu Ruyi said to Du Lei, "Master Du, we have so much to ship this time. We have to hurry up and prepare a new batch."

Du Lei responded, "Don't worry, Miss. I know what's going on."

Some people who were chatting at Uncle Xu's house were talking animatedly when they suddenly saw the group of people from Luo Biancheng. They all widened their eyes in surprise.

Huang Guiyun couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, they don't look like they're from here! Xu Ruyi and his team's business has actually spread so far? It's amazing!"

Widow Wang also came over, squinting her eyes to take a closer look, and then said, "Yes, look, the way they dress is completely different from the people here. We have never seen this kind of material and style before. But how did these outsiders know that there is such a chili shop in our village? Do Xu Ruyi and the others have some special connections?"

Uncle Xu tapped his pipe and said slowly, "That's not hard to guess. It must be that their reputation has spread. Xu Ruyi is smart and capable. It's no surprise that she can do this kind of business."

Everyone nodded, and someone continued, "Mr. Xu is right. This Xu Ruyi is indeed capable."

Huang Guiyun curled her lips and said sourly, "Humph, maybe I'm just lucky."

Widow Wang rolled her eyes at her and said, "You only know how to be jealous. That's a real talent. If you had that kind of talent, you wouldn't have to keep saying sour things here every day."

Huang Guiyun was speechless and turned away angrily.

At this time, Luo Biancheng's group had already walked away, and everyone began to talk about other things.
