It may be that the ignorant are fearless, Huixin took the initiative to knock on the door, and after knocking for a while, the door opened.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Suddenly, someone opened the door, and a particularly low, somewhat hoarse voice came.

Hui Xin was startled, this old lady was indeed a little weird and a little panicked, but she reacted immediately.

"Grandma Zhao, my name is Huixin, and I am also from this village, we have no place to live now, can you rent us a few rooms?"

I heard that this old lady's surname is Zhao.

The old lady looked up at them, "If you don't dislike you, you will live, and if you don't have any money, you will leave if you don't want to live." ”

The old lady was reluctant to ask for rent, she was really an old lady with quite a personality.

"You can all live in these empty houses, but if you don't live in them, close the door for me when you leave." After that, the old lady went back to the house.

Huixin's family looked at each other, and finally chose to stay.

They occupied a total of three rooms for Mrs. Zhao, one for sleeping, one for cooking, and one for miscellaneous items.

Although the house has not been inhabited for many years, it has all the facilities, and it can be seen that the old lady's previous family background is still good.

After cleaning and placing all the things, Huixin and her mother are going to prepare for tomorrow's market, although the time is relatively tight today, but they finally have a little reputation in the town, if they don't go tomorrow, people should be disappointed, and the konjac tofu for Jufulou has to be made.

"Mother, let's go to the mountain to dig konjac first, if it's dark, it's inconvenient to go up the mountain." Hui Xin suggested.

There is a lot of work to be done today, but things are prioritized, it is dark, and who knows what is on the mountain.

Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, even Xiaozhu also went into battle, and the three of them went up the mountain with baskets.

Mrs. Zhao's house is at the foot of the mountain, and it is convenient to go down and up the mountain, and it takes a few steps to arrive.

Finding the place where the last mark was made, the lady began to dig a lot.

This area was full of konjac, and it didn't take long to dig a basket full of them.

It is not too practical to make konjac tofu, that thing is mainly water, this basket is enough for them to make konjac tofu for a few days, and when there is time one day, it is best to dig it all home, store it, and wait for next year to plant it yourself, so you don't have to work so hard.

The Baisha River runs through the entire village, I don't know where the source is, it seems to flow down from the mountain, and Mrs. Zhao's house is also very close to the river.

After returning home, Huixin and Zhang first went to wash the pig in the water, then stewed it, and the bamboo was burned by the fire.

Huixin and Zhang hurried to make konjac tofu again, and they didn't dare to rest for a moment.

After grinding the konjac into a pulp, it gets dark.

I lit the oil lamp and continued to work in the kitchen, steaming five large pots of konjac tofu. Even if the Zhang family is used to doing work, he will be tired and fall apart, not to mention Huixin, Huixin and the previous life have never been so tired.

Five pots of konjac tofu made two pots by themselves, and sent three pots to Jufulou.

Zhang used one pot to make braised konjac tofu, and Huixin made the other pot into a sour and spicy one.

I don't know what time it was, but when I was finally done, my stomach was so hungry that I remembered that they hadn't eaten since noon, but they were really tired, so Zhang's only made corn paste, plus pig water and konjac tofu, but they were also satisfied.

The lights went out, and the family lay down on the kang.

"Dad, tell you something, I was going to tell you when I came back from town today, but my mother interrupted ......."

Zhang was very excited to tell Lin Laosan about the purchase of the son of Jufu Building today. Zhang also just remembered this, he was busy in the afternoon and evening, and of course he didn't have time to say this.

"Dad, now we can build a house, and we even have the money to send Xiaozhu to study next year, thanks to Xin'er."

"Yes, our girl is really capable." Lin Laosan lovingly glanced at Hui Xin, who had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

The two of them also fell asleep quickly.

The moonlight pouring in through the window is quiet and gentle, as if with endless blessings.

Huixin only felt that she had just fallen asleep and woke up again, she was too tired yesterday, but when she thought of making money, she was like a chicken again.

Sun Fuquan still drove the ox cart to pick them up, and he had to deliver konjac to Jufulou today, so he left earlier than usual.

When they arrived, Jufulou had just opened, it was a young man who received it, it was still very early, and the shopkeeper had not yet come, but the shopkeeper confessed to him yesterday, according to the price he said, ten cents a catty.

After weighing, it was less than 150 catties, but the guy was very kind, calculated 150 catties, and gave Huixin a tael and a half yuan of broken silver.

By the time they arrived at the bazaar, there were already people waiting.

Today there is a bucket of pig in the water, two buckets of konjac tofu with different flavors, but there is no braised fish, yesterday the time was too rushed, there was no time to catch fish.

As expected, it was sold out quickly, but the people who didn't buy the braised fish complained a little, and Huixin repeatedly promised that it would be tomorrow, and that's it.

When I was shopping today, I passed by the bookstore, and Huixin went in, she wanted to buy some enlightenment reading materials for Xiaozhu.

"Little girl, what do you want to buy?" The owner of the bookstore took the initiative to greet Hui Xin, and he did not disdain the other party at all because of the shabby clothes.

"Boss, I want to buy some enlightenment books for my brother, and a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

The boss recommended "Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classics", seeing that Huixin was not too wealthy, and also recommended a set of cheaper pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Little girl, your brother has just started to enlighten, and he doesn't need to use a particularly good one, this is just right." The boss was afraid that Huixin would be embarrassed, so he thought of a reason for Huixin.

"Thank you, boss." Hui Xin didn't feel hurt in her self-esteem at all, and she liked the bookstore owner very much.

It cost four taels of silver to buy books, and two taels of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and if it weren't for the seller's money, this little thing would have spent all the money they had earned these days.

Huixin looked through the books in the bookstore and found that the books at this time were either manually copied or printed, but it seemed that they should be woodblock printing, so the books were particularly expensive.

After buying everything that should have been bought, Huixin Zhang took the ox cart back to the village again.

When he got home, Xiaozhu was very excited when he saw what his sister had bought for him, especially when he heard that he had spent a lot of money, and he promised again and again that he would study hard.

"Xiaozhu, let's go catch fish first, and when the work is done, my sister will teach you to write."

You'll have to work early today, or you'll have to work until dark.

After dinner, Huixin taught Xiaozhu to write.

Hui Xin first wrote the three big characters "Lin Mozhu" on the paper, and the font was strong and powerful, not at all like what a woman wrote.

"Wow, sister, you're so good, you write so beautifully." Xiaozhu looked at her sister adoringly.

My sister is so amazing, she can do anything.

Lin Laosan and Zhang also came to watch.

Zhang's had seen Huixin write recipes in Jufulou before, but she didn't look at it carefully at the time, and now it seems that Xin'er does know how to write, and her daughter hasn't been to school for a day, and no one has taught her, how can she?

Lin Laosan was also surprised, although he had never read a book, but he had watched his father and brothers write since he was a child, he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, he would still read the quality of the words, Xin'er's words looked better than his father.

"Daddy, why are you looking at me like this?" Seeing her father and mother looking at her like this, Huixin felt a little embarrassed, she forgot that the original Huixin should not know how to read.

Although Lin Huixin lives in modern times, her parents are both archaeological experts, and she has been very fond of traditional Chinese culture since she was a child, so she knows all kinds of fonts, and the calligraphy has become its own.
