The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

After hearing the explanation, Chen didn't ask any more questions and gestured to Su He to start the massage.

Half an hour later, Chen fell asleep again.

Su He quietly followed Zhang's mother out. She was not going to have lunch at the Zhao residence. This time she was going to go back directly through the side door.

"The Second Master just sent a box of things over, saying it was a thank you gift. This box is quite heavy, so I asked Xi Que to deliver it to you and help you carry it at the same time."

Mother Zhang also knew the inside story, and she liked Su He even more. She sympathized with Su He for being exhausted from the massage, so she specially asked a maid to send her off.

Of course Su He was willing. After saying goodbye to Mother Zhang, she took Xi Que to the side door.

Sure enough, the whole family was already at the door. Because there were so many people, grandma decided not to go into the Zhao Mansion and wait in the carriage.

Su He set off as soon as he entered. Everyone looked at the wooden box in Su He's hand without asking any questions.

"Sister, my aunt bought us candied haws, they are so sweet. We left one string for you." When Miaomiao saw her sister, she immediately came over and hugged Su He and acted coquettishly.

Su He put the wooden box on the ground, took the candied haws with a smile and started eating.

"Grandma and aunt, are you hungry? Let's buy some food at the market. We still have two hours on the way back, and we can't hold on without food."

"We bought it. After you finish eating the candied haws, you can have some meat buns to fill your stomach."

Sun looked at Su He with a smile. She had shopped enough today and now she felt so comfortable sitting in the carriage. She didn't want to get off again.

Su He was actually also tired, but seeing that no one else was in the mood for this, she ate with peace of mind.

The journey home was uneventful.

Zhou got out of the car first and shouted to the front door of her house, "Boss, Dad, come quickly, we are back."

Zhou originally wanted to find a helper for her son, but when she called out, six people came out.

Isn’t this my family?

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"

Wang Quangui and Jin Guihua had only arrived half an hour ago. The fire in their house had been off for too long, so they went to their eldest brother's house to spend the night.

"Mom, sister-in-law, this is Hehua's mule, the teeth and the butt are great!"

When Zhou heard this, she led her mother-in-law, Hehua and the others back to the house. The men were so stunned that they couldn't walk when they saw the mule.

Hehua originally wanted to say hello, but after seeing the situation, she decided to go back to her room first.

It's not that she's impolite, it's just that the mule is too charming.

Wang Bin smiled and called his uncle and two cousins ​​to get on the carriage. He wanted to show off his skills and take everyone back to the cowshed. All eight men in the Wang family got on, and no one felt bored.

A group of people were chatting animatedly in the bullpen, and the cold wind outside did not affect them at all.

On this side, Su He and others have already gotten on the kang, the earthen kang in their own home, where they are sitting comfortably.

"Aunt, I'm Lotus, and these are Mu Tou and Miao Miao."

Su He looked at the shy Jinguihua and greeted her generously.

Because Jin was working outside, the clothes she wore were the most worn-out. She was not as fat as Zhou. Although she was five years younger than Zhou, she looked older than her.

"Hey, you've grown up now. I've heard everything about you from Dad. We weren't home for such a big thing. Your uncle and two brothers were so angry. This is a little gift from your uncle and I. You must accept it."

Jin spoke sincerely and took out a cloth bag containing one or two taels of silver.

This time, their family of four went to work for a landlord in the neighboring village. They earned three taels of silver for a month's work, which was a decent wage, and they could also have enough food to eat. To put it bluntly, they could save some firewood, so their family of four was satisfied.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for thinking about us three siblings."

Su He did not refuse. She took it with a smile, planning to take some things back for her uncle's family.

Jin watched Su He take it and breathed a sigh of relief. She was not as capable as her elder sister-in-law and she had always been the one making decisions at home. This time, because she had not done enough to help her sister-in-law's three nephews, the head of the family felt bad and offered to give them money.

Like Zhou, she also had a good relationship with her sister-in-law. Although one or two taels of silver was a lot for them, she was willing to do it.

There is a saying that although poor families have no money, they are more united and pay more attention to feelings. Su He felt it at this time.

Sun smiled as she watched her daughter-in-law give the gift. She could see that there were silver bars in the cloth bag, but she said nothing, knowing that her granddaughter would definitely return the favor.

Zhou chatted with everyone for a while and then prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner. There were more people today, so she had to prepare more dishes.

Jin was still thinking about helping her sister-in-law, but was stopped by Sun. "You haven't been home for a long time. Come and talk to me, the old woman."

Seeing this, Su He also went back to her room to prepare a return gift for her uncle's family.

A box of cakes, three rolls of cotton cloth, two of which were dark for my uncle and my cousin, and one of which was dark purple for my aunt. And a bag of brown sugar.

Thinking that things are better in pairs, Su He went to the kitchen and got out a can of lard.

There is still a lot of lard at home, and she plans to bring back some meat next time she goes to the market. It will be New Year soon, and the market will be closed during the New Year period.

After preparing the return gift, Su He thought of the wooden box given by Lihuayuan. It was also dark brown in color. Su He wanted to laugh when she looked at the wooden box. If this continued, she could even sell the wooden box.

When I opened it, the silver ingots were still the same pile, but there were two more silver notes.

Well, two thousand taels.

Su He was relatively calm this time. Painkillers are high-tech products. Nowadays, one pill costs less than a dime, but in ancient times, they could not be measured by money. It is hard to say who got the better deal this time. It can only be said that both sides got what they needed and it was a win-win situation.

Su He put both the wooden box and the space into the space.

She went to the kitchen to help, "Aunt, what are we eating today?"

Zhou was cutting radishes. In winter, there were few vegetables, only radishes and cabbages.

"Tonight is the Little New Year. I'm thinking of stir-frying some pickled cabbage and minced meat, and then stewing a chicken. There's still some mutton left from the mutton you bought, so I'll make some mutton and carrot soup, some mixed flour buns, and a bowl of Chinese cabbage. That'll be enough."

When Zhou saw her brother-in-law and his family coming back, she generously served all the delicious dishes at home, including three meat dishes, and even the cabbage was fried with lard, which she had never dared to think of before.

When Su He heard there was chicken soup, he immediately took out a handful of mushrooms and said, "Aunt, I just happen to have some mushrooms. They'll be perfect in the chicken soup."

Zhou smiled and took it, "Okay, Lotus, your mushrooms are good. Last time, Tietou and Mu Tou were fighting over them and almost got into a fight."

Su He smiled. She also liked to eat this. After all, this family was family and had similar tastes.

In the end, because there were too many people, they were forced to eat in two rooms. Sun brought her two daughters-in-law and her children and grandchildren to eat together. Wang Daming and others had a body odor after staying in the cowshed for too long, so they were specifically disliked by Sun. They were driven to the kitchen to eat with her two sons and three grandchildren.
