I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Fortunately, Song Chen wasn't a pretentious person. When doing business, he wasn't affected at all and remained as efficient as ever.

When Liu Nanjia went to buy chickens after selling her goods today, she ordered another 300 chicks from the vendor, and said that she would order a batch about every 10 days in the future.

This was a considerable business deal, and such a large order would certainly bring in money much faster than selling them one by one at the market, so the vendor naturally agreed happily.

Liu Nanjia guessed that the vendor must have a sizable chicken farm behind him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to supply so many chickens every day.

Because the quantity was quite large, it was agreed that the food would be delivered directly to Aunt Wang's home in the village, and the subsequent arrangements would be left to Aunt Wang.

On her way home, Liu Nanjia was conflicted, unsure of what to say to Song Chen.

She wanted to ask him about his past, but she was afraid of stirring up painful memories like she had with Manager Wu.

Song Chen seemed quite natural, as if he no longer cared about what happened back then, and took the initiative to chat about some trivial matters at home.

And that's certainly true. He has to look forward. How can he live if he keeps dwelling on those painful past experiences?

Seeing Song Chen like this, Liu Nanjia breathed a sigh of relief.

She used to be a loner, and spent all her spare time in college doing part-time jobs to earn money. Later, her work relationships with colleagues were mostly business-like, and she really didn't know how to comfort people.

However, Liu Nanjia actually came up with a solution: if she couldn't say comforting words, she could just go have some fun.

She's decided on her plans for this week's day off: a picnic!

Another busy week has passed, and Liu Yanxi's teaching work is progressing smoothly.

The chicks they ordered arrived a couple of days ago. This was the first time Aunt Wang had been in charge of a task that involved the entire village, so she took it very seriously.

Because the list needed to be checked, and Aunt Wang was illiterate, Liu Yanxi asked Da Hu to go back and help his mother.

But Aunt Wang was a little disgusted with her son, "You've only been learning for a few days, are you sure you can do it? Don't make a mistake. Sigh, Nan Jia said she's handed it over to me, and the others are so busy, no, no, I can't bother them."

This made Wang Dahu feel very aggrieved. Was this really his own mother?

Fortunately, the village head also took this matter very seriously, as it could increase the income of the villagers. Moreover, his own family had also signed up, and as the village head, his family would definitely be placed in the first batch.

So when they heard that the chicks had been delivered, they came to see them.

Aunt Wang finally found a savior. "Oh, village head, you've come at the right time. Come and help me check if this list is correct."

The village head, who originally only wanted to check on the situation and take his own chickens back with him, was thus conscripted into the army.

In short, the chick thing was accomplished very smoothly.

So, on the day off, Liu Yanxi followed his sister's rest system and gave the children at the school a day off, though of course, they had homework to do.

However, they didn't rest that day either. Song Chen was assigned by Liu Nanjia to whittle some bamboo skewers.

Liu Nanjia herself was busy in the kitchen, cutting the meat she bought into slices, removing the fish bones, mincing the meat, mixing it with starch, shaping it into fish balls.

There are also vegetables, etc.

That's right, she was planning to have a barbecue. After thinking about it, she made a few flatbreads, baked them in the oven, and then fried them in oil.

She and Sirou are easy to talk to, but Song Chen and his brother are at the age where they can eat a lot, so eating only meat might not be enough.

Making this reminded her of the teppanyaki she used to love. Skewers of vegetables were grilled, seasoned, and then stuffed into golden-brown, crispy pancakes. She couldn't resist eating one every time she passed by.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

She just couldn't find potatoes here, which was her favorite side dish back then.

Potatoes can be used to make a variety of dishes, such as French fries, mashed potatoes, and braised pork with potatoes, which are all excellent.

'Oh, what a pity. If only we had potatoes.'

After preparing a bunch of miscellaneous ingredients, Liu Nanjia tidied everything up and set off with her family.

That's right, she doesn't plan to eat at home today. She runs between home and the market every day, so she needs a change of scenery.

When she first arrived, she felt that the natural environment of this village was really good. Didn't people always say that the most beautiful scenery is in those desolate and uninhabited places?

The situation in Dushui Village is similar; the people are genuinely poor, but the scenery is truly beautiful.

Previously, Liu Nanjia was only focused on surviving and making money, and had no time to appreciate things. Now that she has some free time, she also wants to help Song Chen relax, so she plans to have a picnic today.

Although Liu Yanxi didn't quite understand why they had to go to such lengths, seeing that his sister was quite enthusiastic, he cooperated and took the initiative to carry the things and follow behind.

The youngest sister, Liu Sirou, was the most excited. She was now her older sister's number one fan, believing that everything her sister did was right and good.

In addition, Liu Nanjia was afraid that she would be bullied if she went out by herself, so she usually kept her in the yard.

So Sirou is always happy when she goes out, and she's even happier when she's with her older brothers and sisters like this.
