Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

"really?"

Seeing the three of them with red eyes and heartbroken expressions, Zhang Xixi said firmly, "Really, Mother promises he will wake up."

"Host, you can revive him!"

"I don't know either, but with you here, it shouldn't be a problem to buy him more nice things."

"Are you sure?"

"For the sake of my three children, I have no choice but to do my best, even if it's a desperate measure!"

Fortunately, Zhou Yujie and the others were unaware of Zhang Xixi's conversation with the system, otherwise they would have been crying again.

This mother is so unreliable!

The three children stayed by Zhou Yuhao's side the whole time and even helped Zhou Damu feed Zhou Yuhao his medicine.

When it was time for dinner, after the children fed Zhou Yuhao the porridge they had cooked, they wanted to stay there and watch over him.

Zhang Xixi urged them hurriedly, "Yujie, Dabao, Erbao, go eat!"

"Brother Da Mu, let's go eat first!"

"But, brother..."

"It's alright, we can hear you over there if anything happens. Let's go!"

Zhou Damu glanced at Zhou Yuhao, thinking, "Wouldn't it be alright if I left for a while?"

Everyone went to the kitchen to eat. Da Bao and the others ate quickly, not even having time to talk.

After dinner, Zhou Yuhao still didn't move. It seemed that the spiritual spring water had no effect on his body and the dosage needed to be increased.

That night, Zhang Xixi stayed by Zhou Yuhao's side, telling Zhou Damu to go and rest, and that she would relieve him the next day.

She also sent the children to bed, as they had to go to school the next day!

Zhang Xixi sat there watching over Zhou Yuhao all night. Nothing happened that night; she just lay there quietly.

When she woke up in the morning, she bought an antidote pill from the system and fed it to Zhou Yuhao. She poured it down his throat with water, and he was able to swallow it, so it seemed that he was indeed conscious.

Before heading to the school, Da Bao and the others checked on Zhou Yuhao again, but he was still unconscious. They went to the school dejectedly.

After they left, Chen and Zhang Dacheng arrived!

"Daughter, how's your son-in-law?"

Zhang Xixi was taken aback. "Ah, he's lying inside!"

Chen and Zhang Dacheng hurriedly entered the west wing and saw Zhou Yuhao lying unconscious on the bed. Their hearts pounded with worry. What would happen to their daughter if their son-in-law didn't wake up?

"What did the doctor say?" Chen asked, grasping Zhang Xixi's hand.

"They only said he injured his head and might not wake up!"

Zhang Xixi honestly told them about the situation, but to avoid making them worry too much, she also mentioned that her master had left her some pills, which should be able to cure Zhou Yuhao.

"It would be good if it could be cured!"

Mrs. Chen clasped her hands together and prayed fervently, "I hope God will bless my son-in-law to wake up soon!"

"Mother, aren't you going to open the shop? Hurry up and go. I'll be fine here."

"Then take good care of your son-in-law, we'll be leaving now!"

Zhang Dacheng figured that he wouldn't be of much help if he stayed, so he left with Chen.

After the sun came out, Zhang Xixi asked Sun Xiuxiu to boil a pot of water and had Zhou Fu and Zhou Damu give Zhou Yuhao a bath. Sick people should pay more attention to hygiene.

Today, she replaced the water used to brew the medicine, cook the porridge, and drink the water with high-grade spiritual spring water, which should be effective.

After arranging everything, Zhang Xixi went to rest. She had stayed up all night and was exhausted.

Zhou Yuhao stayed at home for a few days, and Zhou Dashan and the others gradually learned that he had returned and came to visit him.

After watching, they all sighed and left, probably because they all thought Zhou Yuhao wouldn't wake up.

Zhang Xixi was completely unaffected because she noticed that Zhou Yuhao's lips had returned to their normal color, indicating that the toxins in his body were slowly dissipating.

The chances of her waking up are still high!

When no one was looking, she fed him another Marrow Cleansing Pill, and told him to take it slow and nurture him.

A month later, the factory had produced the vermicelli that Manager Qian needed, and Manager Qian had already sent people to pick it up.

The sweet potatoes in the field are growing well, but it's not harvest time yet, so the factory has decided to close for the holidays and resume operations after the New Year.

Zhang Wenhong and Zhou Yuping also calculated the profit from these 100,000 jin of vermicelli. After deducting costs and labor expenses, they earned more than 1,000 taels of silver, which was more than 10 taels per serving. This was something they had never imagined before.

In the past, a family that could save ten taels of silver a year was considered quite wealthy!

The villagers were very happy. Zhou Dashan and the elders even bought a big fat pig from Old Wang's family, planning to celebrate after the ancestral worship ceremony on the first day of the lunar new year.

Zhang Xixi's family plans to harvest sweet potatoes after the New Year, so Wang Daniu and the others are working hard to reclaim wasteland, and have already reclaimed another 200 acres of wasteland.

Zhang Xixi simply had soil conditioner applied to these wastelands, intending to plant crops in the spring.

Five days before the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xixi brought home six pigs raised by Old Wang and asked Wang Daniu and the others to help slaughter them.

Many villagers came to help, and Zhang Xixi had the cook prepare a whole pig, including braised pork, radish stewed with ribs, and twice-cooked pork—all meat dishes. She generously treated the villagers to a pig-killing feast.

After lunch, most of the villagers left, leaving only a few close relatives to pack up their belongings.

Zhang Xixi had Zhou Fu pay Wang Daniu and the others their wages, and in accordance with their needs, they were each paid half in grain and half in silver.

Before they left, they gave each person five catties of pork as a New Year's bonus.

Wang Daniu and his family happily returned home with the meat and their children.

Looking at her daughter's generous demeanor, Mrs. Chen's lips twitched. She wanted to say something, but seeing so many people around, she swallowed it back down.

Seeing Chen's hesitant expression, Zhang Xixi asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, what are you going to do with this meat?"

"I want to cure it into ham and make it into sausages!"

"I know how to make ham, but how do I make sausage?"

Zhang Xixi quickly explained how to make the sausage.

Mrs. Chen was a little confused. "You can do this with pig intestines? Won't it make the meat smell bad too?"

Zhang Xixi quickly waved her hand, "No, no, the smell will be gone after the intestines are properly cleaned."

"Alright then, I'll have your dad and the others cure the ham first!"

"it is good!"

It was getting dark when Chen and his family finished curing the ham, and then moved the rest of the pork into the kitchen.

Zhang Xixi gave pork to Zhou Dashan and the others who stayed to help.

After leaving the kitchen, Ms. Chen planned to go home!

"Daughter, is your son-in-law still unconscious?"

Zhang Xixi nodded, "She's still lying down!"

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Chen let out a deep sigh!

Has your master come to see him?

Zhang Xixi shook her head. "No."

"Why don't you have your elder brother take your son-in-law to the prefectural city to take a look? Maybe they'll find some famous doctors!"

Zhang Xixi was also a little worried. It had been a month, and she had already given the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Detoxification Pill, but there was still no reaction!

"Let's check again tomorrow. If he's still not awake, then we'll go see him!"
