My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Yang Fenglan, Zhou Jingyi, and Zhou Jingwei agreed on the same story, saying that it was the child from the deceased aunt's family.

Anyway, that's what the child's maternal grandmother said in Yangjia Village.

If his uncles have any ideas, that's a matter for the future.

He's just a nobody now, but once he's rich, his aunt and uncle will probably treat him like their own child.

Zhou Jingyi took the wood-chopping knife and left the city.

Yang Fenglan, along with Zhou Jingwei, took out the bed sheets, blankets, and dirty clothes they had used on the mountain and washed them.

In one corner of the yard, there was a small patch of land where Yang Fenglan poured the water from washing clothes.

After hanging the clothes out to dry, I turned the floor over and scattered some cabbage seeds.

Living in the city, although it keeps me away from all the messy stuff in the village, still doesn't feel right.

In the village, vegetables can be grown in front of and behind the house. In the city, even a small plot of land is not enough to grow some scallions and garlic.

From now on, I'll have to pay for every single dish I eat, and just thinking about it makes my wallet ache.

It took two days to put all the items in their proper places.

They have enough to eat, wear, and use, so there's no need to buy anything else.

The most important thing right now is to repair the damaged cabinets and doors of the shop, repaint them, and then wait to stock up on goods.

Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying had discussed opening this shop. Neither of them had any grand ambitions; they just wanted to achieve financial freedom.

As for work, I'll avoid doing it if I can.

In Qingyang County, there was no shortage of food, clothing, or entertainment. Compared to that, Yang Fenglan decided to sell dried goods.

There were no nut shops in Qingyang County before, so this can be considered a precedent.

Sunflower seeds were not available in this era, but peanuts, peas, broad beans, chestnuts, walnuts, and other similar foods were available.

There are also pine nuts on the mountain. If you are willing to pay to buy them, there will definitely be people willing to go up the mountain to collect pine nuts.

As for the current goods, broad beans, peas, and peanuts are available in grain stores all year round. After buying them and processing them a little, they can be sold as snacks.

However, the price is definitely not suitable for most people.

However, Yang Fenglan's purpose in opening the shop was not to make a lot of money.

In the future, she will definitely go into the mountains to search for treasure with her best friend often. If she makes money, she has to have a legitimate source of income. This shop is just a front.

Since she didn't need to pay rent, Yang Fenglan wasn't in a hurry to start the car.

I went to a carpenter to repair the doors and shelves, and he also painted them.

One string of coins, and most of it was spent.

After finishing with the shop business, Yang Fenglan told Zhou Jingyi to take good care of her younger sister before heading out of town to Qingshui Village.

The village of Qingshui is now surrounded by lush greenery, and the water level of the Qingshui River has risen considerably.

The village remained quiet, but it had lost its former vitality.

People occasionally strolled around the village, exchanging casual greetings before heading off to their own business.

There were quite a few people in the field.

Women and children alike went out to find wild vegetables; the vegetables they managed to gather were crucial for the family's survival.

Some people even fought over a handful of wild vegetables.

Yang Fenglan did not go home, but came to the vicinity of the Xu family. "Master Long, would you please go and call Xu Yingying?"

[Hmph, does such a trivial matter require my intervention?] Long Aotian said this, but still flew out.

It was forced to stop at a certain distance. It hadn't even reached the Xu family's house yet, but it could see what was happening in the Xu family's courtyard.

Xu Yingying is arguing with Old Lady Xu again.

"Oh, the old woman is still alive." Long Aotian hovered in the air, watching the show with amusement.

Seeing that it didn't react for a while, Yang Fenglan thought something had happened and hurriedly sneaked over.
