Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Chapter 23: Earning money is not easy, spending money is like water

When the last ray of dusk was covered up, Wang Dahu brought Wang Erniu and Guihua to the Li family courtyard.

The two men carried on their shoulders the large and small items that Li Changle had asked the two brothers to buy.

When Li Changle heard the sound of Guihua knocking on the door outside, he quickly opened the door and let the person in.

Several people were standing under the eaves in front of the main house and talking. The smell of bone porridge mixed with garlic wafted out from the kitchen.

The Wang Dahu brothers, who had gone back and forth to Xiangde County, felt their stomachs growling.

Guihua looked at Wang Erniu: "..." You are so embarrassing!

Wang Erniu couldn't imitate his elder brother's nonchalant attitude, so he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Li Changle felt bad when he saw this, "I have prepared dinner. You two have come a long way, please eat here first."

Guihua heard this and stopped him, "What are you eating? We came here to bring food to Madam Li. Dinner is already prepared at home, so there's no point in eating here. Big brother Erniu, return the food and money to Madam Li first. We're leaving now. Mother said that we'll share the meat pie tonight."

The Wang family also only eats two meals a day, and the braised pork patties they bring back from lunch are saved for dinner.

The two brothers had no intention of eating at other people's homes at mealtime, but they just happened to return to Lushui Village at mealtime. Before they even entered the house, they called Guihua out and ran directly to the other side of the hill together.

After taking the things off his shoulders, Wang Dahu told Li Changle how much money he had spent on each item. He also explained the price of the wild animals and the amount of money he had earned from selling them.

Guihua took out a purse from her sleeve pocket and said, "Madam Li, this is the money left after selling the wild animals and buying these things. My brother said that the copper coins are too heavy for you to keep, so he helped you change the copper coins into small change.

There are two ounces of silver and more than a hundred copper coins in here, you must keep them safe."

What can Li Changle say?

This is the only honest family that will tell you every penny.

Li Changle naturally accepted the kindness, took the money bag, and asked Guihua, "Sister Guihua, do you know where someone sells beds?"

It was today, when she saw Li Shixi practicing calligraphy on the low table, that she remembered that the child was six or nine years old and should have his own room and desk.

The main room should have been the main living room and dining room, and it was large enough to be divided into two rooms. So it was only furnished with a wooden bed, a low wooden table and a wooden cabinet, making the room seem a little empty and cold.

There is a wing room next to the main house on the right side. It can be seen that it was designed as a room before. Because Li Changle went in to take a look in the afternoon, he found only a few wooden stakes similar to those used to support bed boards in the empty room.

Before she entered, she was wondering, isn't this room bigger than the woodshed? Why aren't the tasks placed in this room?

But now think about it, the beds should be reserved.

"Bed? You want to buy a bed?" Guihua asked.

Li Changle nodded, "Boys and girls should not sit at the same table after they are seven years old. When I was sick, Yu'er didn't want to sleep without me, and Shixi put aside that concern in order to take care of his little sister. They are all children, so it's nothing. But now that I'm well, I can't just give in."

Guihua thought that Wang Erniu’s two nephews were both seven years old and still lived in the same room with their eldest brother and his wife, except that they didn’t have a bed.

Oh my, people from rich families are really particular. They have a limited number of rooms, and each person can afford one room.

She just muttered these words in her heart and could never say them out loud, as it would make her seem too ungentlemanly.

"Hey, we can't just settle for it, we can't! Madam Li, you don't have to ask others to buy it. My Erniu's fourth brother knows carpentry. He has learned from his master for several years. It shouldn't be difficult for him to make a bed. He is not like my eldest brother who is not very skilled and has started making things to sell. Otherwise..."

"Ahem..." Wang Dahu cleared his throat twice, "Sister-in-law, it's getting dark soon."

Li Changle almost laughed when looking at Guihua. She was really talkative, and her uncle was right in front of her.

After being interrupted, Guihua didn't say anything more. "I have to go back for dinner. Madam Li, tell me what kind of bed you want. Otherwise, I'll ask my fourth brother to come over tomorrow and you can tell him."

Li Changle thought about the limited-time task he had to complete tomorrow and find that "weird old lady".

She said to Guihua: "Wait for me to come to your house tomorrow."

Guihua didn't think much about it and nodded, thinking that she wanted to go out for a walk.

After the three of them finished their discussion, they hurried home.

Everyone was thinking about the aroma of that meat pie.

Li Changle moved all the things he bought into the main house. When Li Shixi saw this, he came over to help move.

Not only did he buy the things she asked him to buy, he also helped buy a backpack, a straw hat, and an oil-paper umbrella.

Li Changle felt that dealing with this family was really easy and hassle-free.

The mother and her two daughters had dinner in the house. The bone porridge was salty, fragrant and smooth, and was naturally well received.

After the child washed up, he left him in the house to play with building blocks. Li Changle washed the iron pot he had bought and put it on another stove.

Finally, I don’t have to share a pot to cook, fry, and boil water.

It was only because she washed the pot with detergent and then boiled water for washing. Otherwise, no matter how she washed the pot used to boil lard, there would be a layer of oil floating in the hot water.

She poured water into the new iron pot and lit the stove.

She needed to take a shower; she hadn't had one for two nights.

The toilet was on the other side of the woodshed, probably shared with the bathroom, and one side of the toilet was paved with gravel instead of mud, so that when taking a shower, there would be no splash of muddy water everywhere.

Although it also has a thatched roof, fortunately the other three sides built next to the woodshed are covered with wooden boards, so it is acceptable.

The previous owner didn't look like a shabby person.

Li Changle ran to the kitchen three times and added a large bucket of hot water, with another bucket placed next to it.

She took out the shower gel from the system warehouse and rubbed it vigorously.

-

next morning.

Li Changle got up and cooked millet and red date porridge in the pot.

I mixed wheat flour, buckwheat flour and brown sugar together and planned to steam some sweet buns.

She only knew how to use yeast to make dough, so she used 8 contribution points to buy 10 packets of yeast powder in the system mall, and got a steaming cloth for free.

As she kneaded the dough, she complained, "It's not easy to make money, but I spend it like water. I must make some money today."

I steamed a pot of plump and soft buns, enough for today's meal.

She filled a ceramic pot with millet porridge, took four steamed buns, poured hot water from a small pot, and covered them all in the bamboo basket.

After breakfast, she locked the main door and the courtyard door, and walked slowly towards Lushui Village with Li Shixi and Yu'er.

Li Shixi no longer has to worry about anyone taking away their food.
