Chapter 31: Growing Stronger
Egg soup without oil and water has become their ultimate delicacy.
The baked cakes sold in the space are actually fragrant, and they are not as hard as Xia Qiyue imagined, with egg soup, the two little guys are not satisfied, but the three of them are also satisfied.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, but although he had never eaten any abalone, lobster, mountain and sea delicacies, he had always eaten ordinary food.
And the grandmother who adopted her later was from the countryside, and she could always eat the grandmother's yo-ro chicken, and she would also eat the New Year's pig during the New Year, so that she would not have no oil and water at all as she is now.
After the five of them finished eating and packed up their things, Xia Qiyue specially asked her sister to wash all the pots, dishes and chopsticks, and then put her luggage on her back and went out.
If they are lucky, they can not be bumped into by the officials, they can go to buy something, if they are checked by the officials as soon as they go out, then there is no way, they can only go out of the city immediately.
However, Xia Qiyue was still lucky, they left the inn and did not encounter the inspection of the officials, so they came to the grocery store smoothly.
Xia Qiyue was generous this time, bought a washbasin, a bath bucket, a bucket, and bought a small water bladder for everyone, a pound.
Turning her head and seeing that there were knives for sale, she bought another kitchen knife and a dagger, and then stopped.
Let the grocery store Xiao Er deliver the things to an alley where no one is around, and put the things into the space in front of his younger siblings and children.
"Mother, you won't lose anything, will you?" Little Keer was very curious, and kept staring at her mother's fingers.
"No, my mother has been put into the mysterious space, let's go!"
This time it took another five hundred and twenty Wen out of the summer and July.
However, she still has five hundred and one taels and two hundred and forty-eight Wen on her body, and she is not panicked at all.
The average annual income of each household in Shanbei Zhuangzi is less than 20 taels, and the 500 taels of silver in Xia Qiyue's hands are a huge amount of money.
Fortunately, she came through time, and she has no personal experience and experience of this income, so she can be calm.
And her silver is too easy to earn, after all, a steamed bun and two taels of silver are not a joke, if they want to rest on the people of Shanbei Zhuangzi, they will not be able to buy two taels of silver to eat even if they are waiting to starve to death.
There was a little delay in shopping, and it was late to start in the summer and July, so when they walked to the city gate, it was already noon.
The two little ones had to go by themselves, but when they arrived at the city gate, Xia Qiyue still put the child in the basket and carried it on his back.
In fact, she wanted to buy a lot of things, but she didn't dare, if they changed too much and brought too many things with them, they might not be killed.
went out of the city smoothly, but saw An Zihao and An Youde waiting at the gate of the city, looking at them from time to time.
Xia Qiyue waved his hand and shouted, "Old Five, virtuous, we are here!" ”
The two of them had already seen her, and they took a few steps forward to the front.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I thought something happened to you in the city, how is Xuan'er?"
An Zihao's anxious look has not yet subsided, and he is also a little anxious when he speaks.
Xia Qiyue, this is the first time I have heard An Zihao say so many words at once, and the expression on his face has changed so much.
Since she entered Lao An's house, she didn't see any major mood swings in An Zihao, and her speech was concise and to the point, never talking much.
"Yes, fourth sister-in-law, are you okay?" An Youde also glanced at the five people, but didn't see anything, and then spoke with some concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the doctor said that Xuan'er still has to take a pair of medicines, so it's delayed, and we can't decoct the medicine under the conditions of escaping the famine!" Xuan'er is just a weakness brought by the womb, and the escape from the famine makes the child tired. ”
Xia Qiyue was busy explaining.
"Uncle, Uncle Youde, I'm fine!"
An Qingxuan poked his head out of the back basket to talk to the two people.
An Youde grinned, "You kid, scare us all, it's okay!" ”
And An Zihao just glanced at Xuan'er and nodded.
Xia Qiyue knew that Xuan'er was also a character who didn't talk much, and now it seemed that maybe her prime minister Gong Zichen was also such a person.
It's no wonder that she has two children and still doesn't know her father-in-law, but after the two got married, they only had time to get along for about ten days, and her father-in-law left the army.
"Let's go!" An Zihao stepped forward and took the salute from Xia Jiujiu's hand a little uncomfortably.
The pots and bowls and washbasins were all placed in the package that Xia Jiujiu was carrying, so it seemed that her package was the largest, and An Zihao might have watched her carry more.
An Youde still smiled, and walked over with a smile to carry the child for Xia Qiyue, but Xia Qiyue didn't let it, she didn't want to fake the two children, she was a little worried.
This has nothing to do with An Youde, she just feels that children are the safest by her side.
Seeing this, An Youde took the salute directly from Xia Xinghe's hand and walked ahead.
Xia Qiyue's low bedding was placed in the basket, also to make the two children sit more comfortably.
She was a small woman, carrying a huge basket, and from behind she could not see her person at all, only walking on two legs.
followed An Youde and An Zihao, and walked for a while before arriving at the resting place of Zhuangzi in Shanbei.
It turned out that Li Zheng was with the patriarch, far away from other villages, anyway, the open space at the gate of the city is very large, although there is no grass, but it is very flat.
Xia Qiyue arrived at the team, and he didn't have time to put down his salute and went to find Lizheng.
Li Zheng was lying in the fenced place of his house, next to her daughter-in-law and daughter, and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.
I have to say that this daughter-in-law is also a powerful one, although she only gave birth to one daughter, she is now twelve years old, but she has not been happy again, but she is also stunned that her husband's family can't do it, and she separates the three of them alone.
"Uncle Lizheng..."Xia Qiyue didn't come closer, and shouted not far away.
As soon as Li Zheng heard the voice, he sat up, Li Zheng's daughter-in-law had already stood up, her eyes were a little unkind, Xia Qiyue vaguely heard what she said to Li Zheng, she couldn't hear clearly, but looking at the mouth shape, Xia Qiyue guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.
It's like saying, borrow silver, whatever... And then there's no and so on.
Xia Qiyue guessed that Li Zheng's daughter-in-law might have misunderstood that she had come to borrow money, so she had a vaccination with Li Zheng in advance.
"Zichen's family, come and sit here!"
Li Zheng's face was gloomy for a moment, and then he spoke,
Xia Qiyue took a few steps closer, and then stood still, "Uncle Lizheng, I won't sit down, I'm here to tell you about the situation in the city!" Xia Qiyue waved her hand, and she was still carrying the child in the basket, so she didn't want to trouble putting the child down.
"Tell me, I know it too!" Rizheng sat up straight, waiting very earnestly to listen.
"The county commander in the city has arranged to sell water, but one liter of water costs twenty copper plates."
Xia Qiyue didn't beat around the bush, and directly expressed the meaning she wanted to say clearly, and what Li Zheng did next had nothing to do with her.
