Chai Shouxiao and Lin, who returned to the town, were not idle, and as soon as they came back, they asked to go out.

After taking a few days off, it is impossible not to tell me again.

Qingyang Town is not big, and it is usually difficult to find a suitable errand, so Chai Shouxiao and the Lin family did not dare to lose that job.

Chai Shuiqing and Chai Chengen also had nothing to do, so the two talked for a while.

From some of Chai Chengen's words, Chai Shuiqing gradually understood the reason why Chai Shouxiao and them were in a hurry to come back.

Chai Shouxiao and his wife get less than two taels of silver every month, and the total salary of the two people is only one tael and four or five hundred wen at most.

As far as Chai Chengen learns in the school, he will be sent to the bundle in the middle of the month every quarter. Some people directly gave 500 copper coins, and some added some other generous gifts in private. Of course, there are still those who can't be handed over, and they can be offset by giving food every year.

500 wen a quarter, and every month spent on Chai Chengen, a beam of light is more than 100 wen.

In addition, a family of three eats and lives in the town, and rents a house for hundreds of yuan! If you eat one stone of grain a month, it will cost several hundred wen.

In addition, Chai Shouxiao and his wife will pull some food from home every year, which can be regarded as saving a lot. However, if you only eat food, you naturally have to eat vegetables, so when you go out and occasionally pick up vegetables for your younger son, the family is already very thrifty.

Because of this, Chai Shouxiao and his wife can get home a few hundred yuan every month.

Chai Shuiqing sat in the courtyard with one hand on his head and thought about things, and the stool was a small horse made of wood that Chai Shouxiao found in the village.

Chai Chengen saw that his sister didn't ask anything more, so he went back to the room and took a wooden stick out, wrote and drew on the ground.

When he had nothing to do, Chai Shuiqing did not delay, returned to Chai Chengen's small room to untie his burden, took out the clothes inside, and then picked up the wood he picked out and began to carve.

The seemingly plain wood, in Chai Shuiqing's hands, transformed little by little, slowly revealing their appearance.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the carvings of Chai Shuiqing have been placed in a row, although they are all small, but they are each different in shape, and have a unique taste.

Chai Shuiqing took the last one in his hand and blew the sawdust on it, and then took the rest back into the house.

Looking at the sun in the west, she rubbed her stomach unconsciously.

Although I ate dry rice at noon, there was no oil or water, not to mention that when I walked from the village to the town, my stomach was now empty.

Chai Shuiqing hadn't been to the kitchen yet, so when she walked quickly to the kitchen, she saw that there was a small cupboard inside.

Opening the cupboard, there were several simple porcelain bowls of different sizes, one containing pickled radish cubes, and the other containing salted cabbage.

There is also a water tank next to the cupboard, and next to the water tank is a large jar that is less than two feet.

When I took off the wooden lid and looked at it, it was japonica rice.

Japonica rice is not a good thing, but it is also the main food eaten by ordinary people, and in the town, japonica rice costs two cents a catty, which is about the same price as ordinary beans.

Putting down the cover, Chai Shuiqing turned around and saw a handful of spinach and a few garlic sprouts on the stove.

didn't think much about it, Chai Shuiqing washed the japonica rice and boiled it in the pot.

Of course you have to cook when you're hungry, and as for the two people who haven't gone home yet, it's estimated that they'll come back after wiping the dark.

Chai Chengen heard the movement in the kitchen, looked up at the sky, he frowned unconsciously, put away the writing stick and ran to the kitchen to help light the fire.

Chai Shuiqing found that it seemed that his younger brother had already peeked at her several times.

"Seung-eun has something to say?"

Chai Chengen's worried gaze was captured by Chai Shuiqing, and when he heard his sister's inquiry, he asked, "Sister, are you hungry?" ”
