The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Even if they don't acknowledge her as their godparents, they will not ignore Madam Chen when she gets old.

But Mrs. Chen will feel more at ease after recognizing him as her godparent.

Thinking of this, I happily agreed.

"My eldest brother's wife, tomorrow we will be recognized as godparents and become your apprentice, so we must follow the proper etiquette.

Why didn't you prepare the holiday gifts when you came back?"

Zhao Lishui patted her head and said in annoyance: "I was so happy that I forgot such a big thing."

In fact, it was not that Zhao Lishui had forgotten, but she was so frightened by the incident of cannibalism that she dared not leave the two of them.

That's why she didn't buy it, but Xiaomi begged her not to tell Old Lady Wang about it in the city.

He was afraid that Old Lady Wang would worry, and he was not injured.

Zhao Lishui didn't say anything until she came back.

“See if there’s anything else you can do, it’s almost closed down in the city now.

Zhuzi, don't eat yet, go check out the houses in the village. I think they should still have some stock."

Wang Zhuzi sighed and prepared to go out.

"Wait a minute, take the silver with you and pick out the good things to buy." Old Lady Wang saw Wang Zhuzi walking out directly and called him back.

I have some dried meat at home, and I was thinking about what else I could bring.

Old Mrs. Wang didn't even eat and went to her room to look for it.

By the time everything was packed up, it was already very late.

Wang Zhuzi lay on the bed, watching Zhao Lishui packing clothes to wear when she went to Chen Niangzi's place tomorrow.

He crossed his legs, put his hands on his head, and said to Zhao Lishui: "Mother Daya, our life is getting better and better.

I never thought I could live like this before, it’s like a dream.”

Zhao Lishui didn't stop moving. She used her hands to straighten the wrinkles of the clothes she was going to wear tomorrow and said to Wang Zhuzi:

"Yes, our Wang family is getting better and better now.

Daya has become successful now, and Goudan and Tiedan are also going to a private school, waiting to take the imperial examinations.

This is all thanks to Guaibao. We must be nicer to Guaibao in the future."

"That's a must. You don't have to tell me that I will definitely treat my good boy well."

After saying that, he remembered what Zhao Lishui had said just now, that several children have now gone to the city.

He turned over and sat up: "Mother Daya, do you think I should go learn something?"

After saying this, he looked at Zhao Lishui expectantly.

Zhao Lishui burst out laughing: "You are so old, what else can you learn? Have you learned the big characters today?"

Ever since the family built a soap factory, Old Mrs. Wang required every member of the Wang family to learn a big character every day.

I don't need to learn too much, just one is enough. I'm just afraid of being cheated when I go out.

Every night Old Lady Wang would ask Goudan and the others to check, but today she was so busy with Daya's affairs that she forgot about it.

Wang Zhuzi was not good at studying at all. He always had to be pulled by Old Lady Wang before he could learn.

When he heard Zhao Lishui ask him if he had written the words, he lay down again immediately.

Zhao Lishui looked at Wang Zhuzi's expression but didn't expose him.

After packing up his things, he blew out the oil lamp, lay down and fell asleep.

Wang Zhuzi was lying on the bed. Although he didn't say anything, he was still trying to figure out what he could do.

I thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out until I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lishui and Wang Zhuzi got up and packed their things to go to Chen Niangzi's house.

Daya also carried a small bag and went into the city with Wang Zhuzi.

In order to show their importance to Madam Chen, Zhao Lishui and Wang Zhuzi took Daya with them this time.

Before Daya left, Old Lady Wang gave her another tael of silver.

“Come back if you’ve been wronged, and don’t be reluctant to eat or drink.

If you have something to do, do more for your master, but if anyone bullies you, come back and tell your grandma."

Daya clutched the silver that Old Lady Wang gave her and cried out with tears in her eyes, "Grandma."

"Why are you crying? It's not like you won't be back. We'll go see you when we have time.

Go quickly, it will be too late if you delay any longer."

Then Wang Zhuzi drove the mule cart and took Daya and Zhao Lishui away.

Wang Zhuzi came back happily in the afternoon, and it was obvious that things went smoothly.

After Wang Zhuzi came back, he pulled the mule off the frame as usual to let it feel comfortable.

Then he fed him grass and water, and after taking care of him, he rubbed against Xiaomi.

"My dear, I'll give you some sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

As he said this, he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and opened it to reveal a few pieces of osmanthus cake inside.

He held it in his hand so that Xiaomi could eat it easily, and whispered, "I bought it for you. Eat it secretly by yourself, don't let those three kids see it."

Xiaomi looked at Wang Zhuzi's sneaky behavior and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, where did you get the money to buy osmanthus cake?"

Because the family had not been divided, all the money was still given to Old Lady Wang for management as before.

Whenever they needed money, they would ask Old Lady Wang for it. Old Lady Wang also paid for their studies.

But now the soap factory business is good, and Old Lady Wang gives each family one or two taels of silver every month for pocket money.

However, according to the tradition of the Wang family, the money is managed by the wife, and the man basically has no more than three cents in his pocket.

So Xiaomi was very curious about where Wang Zhuzi got the money to buy the osmanthus cake.

"Shh, shh, dear, keep your voice down. Don't let your aunt hear you."

"Oh~ Uncle, you are hiding your secret money from Aunt."

Wang Zhuzi quickly covered Xiaomi's mouth and said, "My dear, keep your voice down.

This is the money I earn from picking up people on the road. I plan to save it to buy a bracelet for Dayan Niang.

We can’t be discovered.”

Xiaomi looked at Wang Zhuzi. She didn't expect that the Wang family would have three love-brained people at once.

"So how much have you earned now? How much money do you still need?"

Wang Zhuzi laughed twice and said proudly: "I have saved 21 coins now, and I only need 2 taels, 9 coins and 79 coins to save enough."

Xiaomi heard Wang Zhuzi counting numbers with both decimals and integers, and knew that Wang Zhuzi must have been counting.

"After buying me the sweet-scented osmanthus cake today, how much money do you have left?"

Wang Zhuzi grinned and said, "Hey, I still have 18 coins."

"Uncle, if you keep saving like this, when will my aunt be able to wear the bracelet you bought?"

Wang Zhuzi also knew that he saved money slowly, but he didn't know how to do anything except farming.

I can only save it slowly like this, thinking that one day I will have enough.

Xiaomi looked at Wang Zhuzi and suddenly remembered what Old Lady Wang had said to her before.

So I just happened to ask Wang Zhuzi today: "Uncle, my grandma said you used to like raising animals, right?"
