The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

Song An also handed the eggs to Wang Dayong. What used to be a rare treat, something he could only afford once a year, he could now eat every day. But Dayong had taken off his clothes yesterday; he was all skin and bones. How could he possibly take his eggs? After dinner, he would share his hidden snacks and candies with him and his little sister, Xiaolian.

If Tiedan and Gou Dan were here, we could share some with them.

Song Chunni watched her daughter eat the egg in small bites, a rare look of satisfaction on her face. She blinked and forced back her tears.

Just after they finished eating, Shunzi and Li Shi came over, and he and Song Feng started loading things onto the mule cart. Before they finished, Tiezhu arrived as well.

"Big sister, Mom asked me to come and help with the fire."

"Chunni, it's been so many years!" How come you've aged so much?

“Village Chief’s wife.” Song Chunni had heard from her sister-in-law yesterday that the village chief’s wife was also helping out with the work here. Their family was now close to the village chief’s family, and Shunzi was the one delivering the goods.

"Hey! Have you eaten yet? What's the plan for today, Fengzi's wife?"

She looks older than her; it seems like she's having a tough time!

"This is the kitchen, and there's that stove over there. Now, we'll have to use the old stove from the old house too." Otherwise, there won't be enough food for so many people.

"I'll go work at the old house. Tiezhu, come on, you help me start the fire." I can't let Su Shi and Xiao Ning go. Chunni just arrived, and she has two kids with her. They look like they could be blown over by the wind, and they're dressed too lightly. Fine, I'll go instead. Anyway, that place was repaired before, so it's not drafty.

"I'm leaving now. I'll make the hawthorn cake. Xiao Ning, you can teach Chunni!" With that, she pulled Fang Tiezhu along, picked up the things she needed, and left.

Fang Xiaoning liked this straightforward person. "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. Tiezhu, listen to your auntie and cook it well!"

"Ai!"

It's just lighting a fire, what's so difficult about that?

"Xiao Ning, this..."

"Auntie, I'll teach you how to make donkey rolls, the kind of snack Mom brought to your house the other day. Xiao An, go help Mom with the fire, Dayong, help us with the fire. Xiao Lian, do you want to play here or go play in the main room?"

"Start a fire."

"This girl is even better at starting a fire than Da Yong. She can make the fire big or small as she pleases."

"Alright, Xiaolian will watch one of the stoves too. If it's cooked well, your sister-in-law will give you some candy!"

"Sister-in-law, we have candy. Xiao An gave me and my sister a lot, and some snacks too." As he spoke, Wang Dayong took out a handful of candy from his pocket, at least a dozen pieces.

"Candy!"

Xiaolian also took out the candy from her pocket.

Wow, Xiao An is such a sweet guy. It seems like he's given away all the savings he had in the family.

"Why did you accept so much candy from Xiao An?"

"It was Xiao Anzi who forced it on me," Dayong said softly. He hadn't eaten it and planned to return it to him later that evening.

"Auntie, let's not interfere in the children's affairs. Just give them what they need and let them eat it."

"But..." They were just eating and drinking for free, and she was owing them more and more favors. She felt uneasy about it!

"Auntie, making this is actually very simple. The most tiring part is grinding the glutinous rice into powder, which Brother Feng is doing. Just mix the glutinous rice powder and water into a paste, and then steam it."

"That simple?"

"Okay, Auntie, you steam the glutinous rice first. Once it's cooked, sprinkle some soybean flour on it and roll it out like dough. We still have plenty of soybean flour at home, so we can stir-fry some more tomorrow."

"Great!" She really hadn't expected such beautiful desserts to be so easy to make. She had initially worried that she was too slow to learn, but now, well, she could totally do it.

In one morning, the two of them prepared a day's worth of food, and Fang Xiaoning even helped Su Shi make tofu for an hour.

"My aunt is so quick and efficient."

Song Chunni smiled shyly, "This job at my sister-in-law's house is really not tiring."

"Auntie, you continue cooking, I'll cook here."

Should I cook?

"Little aunt, try my cooking at noon. Today we're having a pig-shaped blanket."

Song Chunni: ...

What the hell?

She had never heard of it, nor had she ever seen it; she couldn't do it.

She works so hard every day, she definitely can't skimp on her food. Plus, she's pregnant, so she needs to make sure she gets enough nutrition. For every meal, she eats whatever she wants.
