Chapter 6 Making Money

But Zhao Jijiao forgot that this is the traditional ancient times, the era of material scarcity, the cooking oil is a large family, and the poor people just cook the food, as long as they can eat it, and they can fill their stomachs. Delicious or something, I really don't have this requirement.

Three dishes, two people have nothing left, not only Zhao Jijiao has eaten it, but Li Ruchang is also holding his stomach and leaning against the wall. Zhao Jijiao is okay, but she is a little supportive, and she can still move, after all, most of today's meal went into Li Ruchang's stomach. After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he went to the sleeping room and brought Li Ruchang's clothes. Li washed directly outside the kitchen when he took a bath as usual, and Zhao Jijiao washed it in the kitchen yesterday. The kind of big wooden basin that is used, people sit in it and wash it, and people can use it to wash clothes after washing.

"Xianggong, you eat first, I'll take a bath first."

Zhao Jijiao carried the wooden bucket and prepared to go to the back of the kitchen to wash. There is no door in the kitchen, and Li Ruchang is sitting under the eaves, facing the kitchen, so how dare Zhao Jijiao wash it! Anyway, they live at the foot of this mountain, and no one will come on weekdays, let alone when the sun is about to set.

"I'll go for a walk, you can wash it in the kitchen."

Although Li Ruchang didn't want to move, if he didn't want to continue to hold on, it was better to walk, and by the way, he went to see if the trap he had set up caught the prey.

With that, Li walked out as usual, and Zhao Jijiao didn't have to carry the wooden barrel to the back of the kitchen with difficulty. I poured water directly into the large wooden basin, took off my clothes, and sat down in it to wash.

This kind of wooden basin was used when I was a child, when there was at least one in every household, and there were three or four in a large population.

Zhao Jijiao is no stranger to this.

It's just that when she grows up, every household has installed a water heater, all of which use rain showers, and a bathtub is installed in good condition, and only newborn babies will use a bathtub, and the bathtub is also small, and the baby-specific bathtub is not made of wood.

When Li came back as usual, he was still carrying two wild 'few' in his hand, and the two wild 'few' were not dead, but their legs were punctured by the tip of the bamboo. One was dying, the other was not seriously injured, and his spirit was not bad.

"Wow, this is a hen, how about we keep it? So we had a few wild eggs to eat. ”

After Zhao Jijiao took a bath, she sat in the courtyard, holding the cloth and thread she bought today, and was thinking about what pattern to embroider. The dragon and phoenix must not be embroidered, the mandarin duck peony is a little too common, and the four gentlemen in the flower are a little less suitable for the crowd, but if the modern pattern is embroidered, it is too brilliant, or the four gentlemen in the embroidery, although the applicable crowd is small, you may be able to afford this pattern, and the family must be expensive.

As soon as Zhao Jijiao decided to embroider the sample, Li came back as usual, still carrying two chickens in her hands.

"You want to raise chickens?"

Li Ruchang went to eliminate food, but he didn't have hope, but he found that these two wild hens who fell into his trap were both fat wild hens, and they were seven or eight catties each.

"Then I'll go to the village tomorrow to buy a few chicks and come back?"

"No, no, no, if you can catch a few wild 'few' and raise them back, just spend money."

Zhao Jijiao remembered the money she earned from selling wild meat this morning, twenty or thirty yuan, but she went more than half of it in one day. When he came back, Li handed over the rest of the silver to Zhao Jijiao as usual. Zhao Jijiao counted it, and there were still eight hundred and ninety-eight dollars left. Zhao Jijiao doesn't know if Li Ruchang still has savings, but with the current amount of money, she can't do anything. She still wants to build a better house, and now she lives in this thatched hut to shelter from the wind and rain, but it is still too simple, there is not even a place to take a bath, and the thatched pit, although it is far away, you can smell a smell as soon as you get closer, and there are many mosquitoes, and it will splash on your body, which is too inconvenient.

"Then I'll catch a few wild 'few' tomorrow and come back."

As usual, Li tied the feet of the two wild 'fews' and tied them to the wooden cabinet in the kitchen.

"The water is still on the earthen stove, the clothes are here, you take a bath, I'll go to sleep first."

Zhao Jijiao put the cloth and thread in her arms, hurriedly ran into the sleeping room, her face didn't know why she was red, put the thread cloth in the wooden cabinet in the sleeping room, climbed into the bed, just like the night before, clinging to the wall. The sound of running water outside the house always penetrated Zhao Jijiao's ears, obviously she didn't want to hear it at all.

When Li Ruchang came in after taking a bath, he saw that Zhao Jijiao was already lying in the bed, as if she was asleep, but Li Ruchang's hearing was excellent, and he could hear Zhao Jiji's breathing sound fast and slow, as if he was trying to suppress something. Li Ruchang couldn't help but laugh a little, but fortunately he didn't make a sound, Zhao Jijiao couldn't see Li Ruchang with the corners of his mouth turned up with his eyes closed, of course, even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't see it, because the sun had already set, and there was no light in the house, only a faint moonlight, through the window, shining some in.

"Asleep?"

Suddenly, Li opened his mouth as usual, and he wanted to tease the little lady he bought.

"Asleep!"

As soon as Zhao Jiaojiao opened her mouth, she wanted to slap herself, who would answer other people's questions when she fell asleep?

"Ahem, Xianggong, I was about to fall asleep......"

The more Zhao Jijiao spoke, the quieter her voice became, and Li Ruchang was already lying on the bed, unlike last night, when she slept next to the bed, but lay close to Zhao Jiji's arm.

"The lady seems to say that she is thirteen years old today?"

Li looked at Zhao Jiaojiao as usual, and her breathing touched the skin of Zhao Jiaojiao's ears when she spoke.

"Ahem, Xianggong, I won't be thirteen until December."

Zhao Jijiao was about to insert herself into the wall, but when she retreated an inch, Li Ruchang also moved, either next to her, or let the bodies of the two close to touch.

"Hahaha, you're so funny."

Li couldn't hold it back as usual, laughed out loud, and moved some places out of the bed by the way.

"You ......"

"Rumble ......"

Before Zhao Jijiao could speak, a huge thunder sounded outside the house, accompanied by lightning. was so frightened that Zhao Jijiao hugged Li Ruchang directly.

In fact, Zhao Jijiao was not afraid of thunder and lightning, but she suddenly came here and was scared.

Li Ruchang's body is very warm, and his limbs are muscular, and he is very comfortable to hold, and he feels like the adult pillow that Zhao Jijiao bought in his previous life. For a while, Zhao Jijiao was a little reluctant to let go. And Li Ruchang thought that the little girl was afraid of thunder and lightning, so he let her hold herself and didn't push away. Besides, as far as Zhao Jijiao is concerned, she has a thin body like a reed pole, as long as she doesn't have that kind of psychological 'too', she won't have any ill intentions towards a young child.

Outside, the rainstorm was mixed with lightning and thunder, but inside the house was a good sleep.
