Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 53 A Model Husband
Xiao Nan suddenly said to Longlong, "Go inside and see Meng Fei."
"Oh"
Longlong darted into the government office across the street, and the old woman was also looking across at the opposite side.
She felt a mixture of respect and fear towards that place. She never imagined that in her lifetime she would actually stand opposite the government office and see it so clearly.
She held Xiao Nan's hand, still trembling slightly. Xiao Nan thought she was cold, so he took out a hot roasted sweet potato and handed it to her.
"Eat, Grandma, it will warm you up."
The old woman quickly waved her hand and pushed the food back to her, saying, "You eat it. I'm not hungry or cold, I'm just a little nervous."
Xiao Nan then understood that people in ancient times had an involuntary fear of government offices.
"Don't be afraid. We have a clear conscience and we will hold our heads high wherever we go."
"That's true, but here... sigh, let's hurry up and leave once Xiaofei comes out."
"it is good"
Fortunately, Meng Fei came out a little while later, got into his car, and drove off in the direction of home.
He said, "I won't buy anything today. I'll go out again tomorrow and buy more."
"Well, Grandma and I have almost filled the oxcart. You can make another trip tomorrow when the cart is empty."
"Here you go, this is the household registration and the land deed. Take a look, and ask me if you don't understand anything."
Xiao Nan took the household registration book and stuffed it into his pocket. He opened the land deed and looked at it, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Wow, this wasteland is over a thousand acres?"
Meng Fei grinned: "Buying one piece is not as good as buying them all. We can just hire more workers to do it."
Xiao Nan frowned. He had originally planned to take things one step at a time and proceed slowly. But to expand the business so much at once felt like trying to eat a fat person in one bite—it was a bit too much.
However, she was always quick to accept things, so she nodded and said, "I'll buy it then. I'll see the wasteland when we get back."
“I have looked at the map. The wasteland extends from Ping’an Village in the east to Xishan in the west, from Zhengde Town in the south to Wangzhuang in the north. It is a square.”
"It's too big, it's difficult for the workers to work on."
“We can build a few houses on the land, and have a dozen or so workers manage a plot of land. No problem.”
"Build a brick house?"
"Anything from the local area will do. They can do these things themselves. We only need to pay for the labor. The materials can be found on the wasteland, where there are plenty of weeds and shrubs."
"Oh, I don't really understand this."
"Leave it to me, I'm good at this."
Xiao Nan pursed his lips, as if he were a farmer himself.
Just then, Longlong's voice reached Xiao Nan's ears.
"Master, he's not a farmer; he should be good at managing people. You'll have to do the farming."
"How to say?"
“He went to the government office to buy land, but he was just talking about it. Someone had already taken care of it for him and was waiting there. He deliberately delayed coming out.”
"I already guessed it. He doesn't want to expose himself. Let him be. As long as he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us, everyone has secrets."
"If he dares, I'll burn him."
"Stop, don't burn things so easily. You can't touch him without my orders."
"understood."
Xiao Nan echoed Meng Fei, saying, "Alright, you can arrange the personnel, and I'll provide the money. However, I'll decide what to plant."
"Okay, you just need to provide the saplings and seeds."
"it is good!"
They didn't get home until it was dark. Juanjuan and Fengfeng wagged their tails vigorously around Xiao Nan, and the donkey was braying wildly in the backyard.
Even the chickens they raised started clucking.
They were all hungry.
Xiao Nan quickly put the things he bought in the county town into the kitchen: "Grandma, you can light a fire and cook some rice porridge, and I'll make some meat pies."
"it is good"
"Husband, go to the backyard and feed the cows, donkeys, and chickens."
"it is good"
After arranging them, she took two huge pork bones out of the basket, covered with raw meat.
Juanjuan and Fengfeng can already eat raw meat; dogs that only eat cooked meat aren't very capable.
She put the bones in the yard, and when she saw Juanjuan and Fengfeng, they divided the bones among themselves, each taking one and gnawing on it without fighting over it.
So she smiled, washed her hands, and started cooking.
It was dark outside, the wind was blowing, and it was getting colder. Meng Fei fed the cows and donkeys. Seeing that the weather was changing, he put a lot of dry grass in the shed for them. He checked the shed and blocked the leaks with grass.
I chopped some cabbage for the chickens, mixed in some coarse grain flour, and finally covered their coop with straw and tamped it down.
He then washed his hands, went to the well to draw water, filled the water vat at home, and didn't rest for a while after returning home.
The firelight illuminated the old woman's face, making it glow brightly, and she grinned happily.
Since Xiao Nan came to her place, she has been happy every day, especially after Xiao Fei came. Her life has become even more comfortable.
When I first met him, he had a hunched back, a face full of wrinkles, and a head full of white hair; now he's completely changed.
She's talkative and cheerful, her wrinkles are gone, and her back is straight. In just a few months, she's realized all of this.
Every time she combs her hair and looks in the mirror, she smiles from the bottom of her heart.
Happiness makes you young, that's so true.
Xiao Nan prepared the filling, kneaded the dough, cleaned the pot, smeared it with lard, and placed the shaped dumplings into the pot.
The oil sizzled as it was fried, and the old woman took a deep breath.
"It smells so good, but vegetable oil isn't as fragrant as lard."
"Yes, but in winter, you have to eat lard while it's hot, otherwise you have to reheat it when it gets cold. You don't need to use vegetable oil. They each have their own advantages."
Can I use the sesame oil you made for cooking?
"Sure, but the flavor is too strong and can be cloying. You can add a few drops to cold dishes to bring out the flavor. Sesame oil is like the finishing touch."
"Are those little jars of food you made a while ago still edible?"
"In another two weeks."
"I really want to try it."
"Haha, Grandma, you're getting hungry now."
"It's all your fault."
The two were chatting and laughing when Meng Fei entered the house and saw this scene. He sat down next to the old woman, warming his hands by the fire, and said...
"If it doesn't frost tonight, it will snow."
"In previous years, it would get this cold around the middle of the month, but this year it's half a month earlier."
"Yeah, I've been going out to buy things these past few days. We're not going anywhere in the winter, we're just staying home and hibernating."
Xiao Nan gave each of them one of the baked boxes.
"Let's eat in the kitchen."
"I'll make the soup."
The three of them sat by the stove, drinking soup and eating fragrant chive dumplings, feeling incredibly comfortable.
"Daughter-in-law, these chive boxes are delicious. You and Grandma ate a few, and the rest ended up in my stomach."
"Don't overeat, it's bad for your health."
"Hehe, it's so delicious, I have to eat more of it, otherwise I'd be doing such a disservice to this delicious food box."
The old woman asked, "I wonder if this stall will sell well?"
Meng Fei shook his head: "They'll sell well, but don't try to sell them."
"why?"
"It's not even enough for the town's thugs to eat."
The old woman sighed, "That's true. No matter how delicious it is, without powerful connections, it will still make those people cry."
"Let's just stick to farming and wait for peace to return to the land. Then we can do some business if we want."
"I was thinking that since this food is so delicious, I should ask my family to set up a stall and sell it."
Xiao Nan smiled and wiped his hands clean: "Let's figure out the garlic sprouts first. You can't rush things. Besides, where are we going to find chives in winter? Even in summer, the little chives they grow aren't enough to sell."
"Sigh, you're right, I was overthinking it."
Xiao Nan got up and left the house. The old woman quickly cleared away the dishes and chopsticks. Meng Fei went out to fetch firewood to heat the kang (heated brick bed) in both rooms and added charcoal braziers to the rooms.
Xiao Nan went to the back field, looked at the sweet potatoes, and then looked at the four kinds of vegetables in the backyard.
When she returned to the house and saw the charcoal brazier, she felt a warmth in her heart. It felt good to have a man there; he had arranged everything so well.
Didn't they say that men in ancient times didn't do any housework?
That's all a lie. The one she found is great; he's a model husband. As long as he treats her well, she'll reciprocate his kindness.
