As for changing the entire society, they do not have such ambitions at present.

It's okay to help the people around you a little bit.

After the mule cart passed through the bamboo forest and was away from the crowd, Liu Caixia asked, "By the way, Haozi, I wonder how the potatoes and peppers I planted are doing. I haven't been back for two months now."

"We didn't plant many potatoes before, so we raised them in the kitchen. Uncle Liu recently moved the two wooden frames to the yard to take care of them. He said he would wait until the weather gets warmer and the vines on them wither before collecting them. Otherwise, they will be too tender to save for seeds. All the potatoes this time will be saved for seeds, and only the small, crooked ones can be eaten. As for the pepper seedlings, you can go back and check them yourself. It will probably take longer if you want to save them for seeds. They are still green and tender now."

"Oh, it seems there is no way to get potatoes to eat this year."

"Yes, the seeds are too few. If we want to plant on a large scale, this amount of seeds is not enough. We need to plant several crops."

The mule cart stopped in the yard. Liu Xiaolu saw a few children playing in the yard. She got off the mule cart and ran over, "Xiaomei..."

A little girl with clean clothes and two pigtails and a rosy face heard someone calling her. She looked up and threw away the things in her hands when she saw who was coming, and ran over, "Sister Xiaolu..."

"Sister Xiaolu, I miss you so much!"

"Xiaomei, sister misses you too."

Luo Junning also saw his grandfather, and he dropped what he had in his hands and ran over, shouting "Grandpa, Grandpa..."

Li Wan'er also stood up and looked at these people. Li Yao also walked over and held Li Wan'er's hand, "Wan'er, brother is back."

Li Wan'er hugged Li Yao's thighs tightly, "Brother!"

Li Yao bent down and hugged Li Wan'er. After several months of recuperation, Li Wan'er had gained a lot of weight and her face was rosier than before. She had the same pigtails as Liu Xiaomei, and the two girls looked more and more alike. They were so cute.

"Let's go home first!" Luo Hong invited everyone to go home. It was not appropriate to reminisce and chat at the door.

Liu Qianxue and a few other girls were helping pick vegetables in the yard. Mrs. Li and Liu Caiyun were killing chickens over there, and Liu's mother called out from the kitchen, "Caiyun, the water is boiling, come and scoop it out, scald and pluck the chicken feathers, and clean it up for breakfast."

"coming."

Liu Caiyun put aside the chicken feathers that she had plucked earlier and walked towards the kitchen.

Liu Caixia saw Liu Caiyun go to the kitchen and followed her, "Big sister."

"Caixia is back. Oh, you look thinner, is it because the work is too tiring? Don't do everything yourself, let the servants do it for you, and you just talk!"

"Well, I've just opened a new store recently, so I've been a bit busy. I'll be fine once I get things sorted out later."

Mother Liu scooped the boiling water into a wooden bucket, looked up and saw Liu Caixia, a smile appeared on her face, "Caixia."

"Mom, I'm back." Liu Caixia had indeed not been home for two months after she left for the Chinese New Year. Seeing her mother looking in good spirits, she was very happy.

"Yes, he's a little thinner. If you ask me, there's no need to set up such a big stall at home. Just buy a few more people. There's no need to make yourself so tired."

"Mom, I get it. It's just that the new store is opening these two days. I don't usually do much."

"That's good. You're not young anymore. And you haven't done any heavy work before."

Liu Caiyun went out with the bucket, and Liu Caixia stayed inside talking to Liu's mother and helping her prepare food.

“How’s business at the new store?”

"It's going pretty well. We prepared a day's supply yesterday, and it was sold out at around 2pm. Once things stabilize, we'll know the approximate daily revenue. Another store is also about to open, and once things are in order, we can have someone manage it, and just collect the money when the store is closed every day."

"That's good. Let me tell you, the business at home has grown big. Your father just won't listen. Now there are more and more chicks, and the first batch is gradually growing up. More and more food is needed, and the piglets are getting bigger. Now it costs a lot of money to buy pig and chicken feed every day. There will be no return for a while. It must be very tight to support such a large family relying entirely on the income from your store in the city."

"Mom, my dad knows. Last time he said we should sell some more things, but I disagreed. First, we have sold almost everything that can be sold. I really can't bear to part with the rest. Second, I also think the stall doesn't need to be so big. I think our current life is good enough. My dad wants to give us a sense of security, so he wants to develop and expand quickly."

"Now our family is already very conspicuous in the village. Let me tell you, the aunt in the village actually wanted to arrange a marriage between you and Caiyun. I rejected it. The people introduced by the matchmaker were attracted by our family's property because we have no son. If we continue to develop, I am afraid we will not be able to keep it. What if we offend those people we cannot afford to offend? What do you think we will do then? Should we run away again? Where can we run to?"

Liu Caixia knew her mother's worries. No one wanted to run around all the time. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful and stable life? "Mom, I want to tell you something. If you meet someone who wants to matchmake for me in the future, you should tell them that I have already decided."

"Ah...it's settled?"

After hearing what Liu Caixia said, Liu's mother stopped what she was doing and looked at her intently.

Liu Caixia was a little embarrassed: "Lin Weizhong and I agreed to give it a try. He thought it was a good idea for us to form a family, so he asked for my opinion. I thought about it and I thought it was okay. Although I don't have that kind of so-called love for him, I don't hate him. On the contrary, after spending a long time with him, I feel a sense of security with him. We agreed to get along until the end of the year, and if there are no major conflicts or problems by then, we will officially form a family."

When Liu's mother heard that it was Lin Weizhong, she relaxed all of a sudden and patted Liu Caixia on the shoulder: "It's OK. I think Lin Weizhong is OK. You should get along well with him. In the future, there will be a man to take over the family. I wonder who can say that there is no man in our family in the future.

Actually, I thought about getting Xiaolu and Keyu together before. I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about Xiaolu. You said she's so old now, and her mindset has already formed. If we continue to live in this era, if she marries someone from this era, I'm really afraid she won't be able to survive. You said we can't be with her forever, and when we're gone, she'll be left alone. "

Liu Caixia wanted to say something when someone came in and said, "Mom, I've cut the chicken into pieces."

"Okay, just boil it as soon as the water comes out."

"it is good."

Stew chicken with mushrooms. Add some ginger slices and wine to the chicken, boil it, then take it out and put it in a casserole and simmer on low heat. Add mushrooms and other side dishes when it is stewed to a certain degree.
