After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

After Jiang Wan's commotion, Xie Lan's reluctance to leave was not as strong anymore.

He curled his lips and smiled softly, agreeing: "Okay."

Xie Lan was about to leave with a bunch of things when he caught a glimpse of the needle and thread basket at the head of Jiang Wan's bed.

There were some needles and thread and a pair of indigo cloth gloves.

He stopped and asked, "Have you started sewing?"

Jiang Wan followed his line of sight and felt a little embarrassed. She quickly blocked his gaze and said, "Xiao Liu and I were just learning it for fun."

Xie Lan said "hmm" and turned to leave when Jiang Wan suddenly called him.

"wait!"

She took the gloves out of the basket.

This pair of gloves was originally made for her father. Who would have thought that it was too big for her father to wear, and it would be a waste to just leave it there. Xie Lan was going on a long journey, so they just happened to come in handy.

Jiang Wan thought so, handed over the gloves, and said: "I forgot to buy you a pair of gloves. If you don't mind that I made them ugly, take them..."

"I don't mind it."

Before she finished speaking, the gloves were taken by Xie Lan.

"Thank you."

Xie Lan thanked her sincerely.

He was just going on a long trip, but Jiang Wan cared about him so much, how could he not be touched?

Although the gloves Jiang Wan gave were not as nice as the shoes and hat she had just given, Xie Lan would not refuse them just for the thoughtfulness.

Jiang Wan felt a little embarrassed by his focused look and quickly started to chase him away.

"Okay, okay, I have nothing to give you, get out now."

As she spoke, she pushed Xie Lan's back and forcibly pushed him out of the house.

Xie Lan walked out passively, looking confused.

Everything was fine just now, why did you chase him away again?

Xie Lan really couldn't guess what the girl was thinking. He thought it was late at night and Jiang Wan was going to sleep. He turned around and said, "Remember what I said, don't run around."

Jiang Wan nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah!"

When Xie Lan left the next day, Jiang Wan was still asleep.

She couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, so she could only lie on her bed and make pancakes until the early morning.

I slept until noon.

Xie Xueling came over and knocked on the door to call her to get up and eat. Jiang Wan rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door. The little girl threw herself into her arms and said softly, "Sister-in-law, your butt is exposed to the sun!"

Xie Xueling's personality became more and more lively. Her previous timidity and introversion were no longer visible. She even learned to tease Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan pinched her little face and asked, "Where is your elder brother?"

"Big brother left a long time ago!" Xie Xueling looked up at her. "Before dawn, someone came to look for big brother, and big brother packed a bag and left with him."

Jiang Wan felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

Why didn’t you get up to see Xie Lan off?

At least say a few common words to remind him to be careful or something.

Jiang Wan was only disappointed for a moment but soon cheered up.

It's not like Xie Lan won't be coming back, why is she so worried? !

She shook her head vigorously, determined to shake Xie Lan out of her mind.

Xie Xueling opened her big round eyes and looked at her in confusion.

What's wrong with you, sister-in-law?

Neck discomfort?

Xiaoliu, who was standing at the kitchen door, called out to them, "Sister Wan'er, the meal is ready, come and eat."

Jiang Wan responded and took Xie Xueling to eat.

It’s not actually obvious that there’s one person missing at home.

Xie Lan used to be a quiet person at home, and the liveliness at home was caused by the noisy quarrels of Xie Jing's four children.

Now that Xie Lan is gone, the house is still lively.

Hunter Wang, Xie Jing and Xiaohu were taking care of the black horse, Xie Xueling and Xiaoliu were learning needlework, and Jiang Weiran was sitting under the eaves reading a book.

From time to time, the sounds of chickens and ducks could be heard in the yard. Lai Fu was lying at Jiang Weiran's feet basking in the sun, creating a picture of a peaceful and tranquil life.

Jiang Wan sat next to Jiang Weiran with his chin in his hands, feeling a little bored.

She teased Lai Fu for a while, then stood up and walked towards the woodshed.

The woodshed was filled with dry firewood, and next to it were two large jars of grain.

There are many people in the family and the winter is long. If we don’t prepare more food, I’m afraid it won’t be enough for the whole family.

It's mid-December now and the snow hasn't started yet. We have to go to town to stock up on food before it snows.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Wan went to Aunt Xie's house next door.

Fourth Aunt Xie had just returned from town with her son and daughter-in-law. When she saw Jiang Wan coming, she hurried over to greet them, "Niece-in-law, don't cook for lunch. Fourth Aunt bought four big carps from town. I'll make carp stewed with tofu for lunch. Come and eat with us!"

Fourth Aunt Xie's face was flushed with rosy glow and she looked full of energy.

You can tell at a glance that their business today is very good, otherwise Aunt Xie wouldn't be so happy.

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, I came to ask you for help with something."

"What's the matter? Niece-in-law, tell me now!"

Aunt Xie pulled people to sit under the eaves and asked with concern.

Jiang Wan said, "I want to go to town to buy some food. I have a large family, so I must stock up on more food. Xie Lan is out escorting, and Hunter Wang has difficulty walking, so I want Brother Dazhu and Brother Erzhu to go with me to help me move the food."

"You're just kidding. I thought it was a big deal. It's such a small matter, why do you need to tell me in person? Just let Xiao Jing tell me!"

Fourth Aunt Xie patted the back of her hand and said, "After dinner, let Dazhu and Erzhu accompany you. I not only bought fish today, but also cut five catties of meat!"

Seeing that her eyes were wrinkled from laughing, Jiang Wan asked, "Fourth Aunt, how is the braised food business going recently?"

"Okay, great!"

Fourth Aunt Xie hurriedly said, "Niece-in-law, you don't know that every day before we even get to Luohe Town, there are already more than a dozen people lining up at the morning market! At first we prepared more than ten kilograms of pig offal and large intestines, but found that they were not enough to sell, so we increased the amount to twenty kilograms, but twenty kilograms was still not enough, so we gritted our teeth and increased the amount to thirty kilograms, but thirty kilograms was still not enough to sell!"

She smiled and said, "There are also many diners who come from other towns to buy our braised food. Some people order four or five kilograms a day in advance, and some wealthy people buy more than ten kilograms at a time. Seeing that the business is so good, Juhua and I are discussing whether we should prepare more."

Aunt Xie and her family are now involved in the braised food business.

In the past, when December came, the men in the family would go to the town to find odd jobs as laborers, while the women in the family would do some sewing and embroidery work and then sell it in the town.

A handkerchief costs only a few cents and it hurts your eyes.

Moreover, Fourth Aunt Xie and second daughter-in-law Juhua are not good at embroidery. Only eldest daughter-in-law Meihua is good at needlework and can earn some money by embroidering handkerchiefs.

But whether it is doing hard labor or embroidering handkerchiefs, neither is as profitable as the braised food business.

These past few days, Fourth Aunt Xie has truly seen the braised food business getting better and better, and she has been making more and more money. Only then has she slowly realized the importance of learning a skill.

Therefore she was very grateful to Jiang Wan.

If it weren't for Jiang Wan's idea and the braised food business was entirely handed over to her family, how could her family make money?

Fourth Aunt Xie held Jiang Wan's hand tightly and expressed her gratitude again: "Niece-in-law, you will be our Xie family's great benefactor in the future! If you are wronged by Xiao Lan, just tell Fourth Aunt, and Fourth Aunt will definitely help you deal with him!"
