The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 20 Frugality
Chen shi thought about it and didn't tell Heng'er for the time being, the grandmother who depended on his daughter-in-law was gone, lest he be distracted.

Anyway, the daughter-in-law promised not to do stupid things, and it would not be too late to come back after the water grab was dealt with.

"Come on, give me the basket, hurry up!" Mrs. Chen took the basket from Pomegranate's hand and said.

"Yes!" Pomegranate blessed her body and saluted and walked towards the kitchen.

Chen shi returned to the yard with the basket, looked at Qi Yaoyao who was sitting under the corridor of the main room and said, "Why are you sitting here, it's cold outside, go to the dining room."

"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao nodded lightly, got up and followed her into the right wing.

Sitting on the drum stool, Mrs. Chen looked at her across the round table and said, "This is burning paper. After eating, we folded into ingots. We went to the intersection to burn it when it was dark."

"Okay." Qi Yaoyao readily replied.

Said it was dinner, it was still porridge at noon, and it was hot at night.

Qi Yaoyao sat at the dining table, looked down at the millet porridge, reheated it, looked like pig food, "Can't you cook it again? It tastes better that way."

"Don't you want money for firewood?" Chen shi glanced at her and said with a stern face, "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!"

"Why do you boil such a big pot of porridge early in the morning, just to save firewood." Chen's index finger tapped the wall of the bowl and said, "You can drink it when it's hot, if it's not cold, I won't give you any heat. Cool and drink."

"That...that's not it, in the summer, this porridge will not go sour, and eating it will easily cause stomach upset." Qi Yaoyao said when she heard the words, her apricot eyes widened and her scalp was numb.

Chen shi raised his brows in surprise, "This summer, the porridge boils quickly in the hot weather."

Qi Yaoyao said in her heart: It's okay, it's okay.I also know that the food is sour and can't be eaten!
I'm really afraid of her frugal character, and she will cook a pot of porridge for you in the summer.

In summer, the water temperature is high, and the air temperature is also high, so use firewood to save.

"Let's eat, don't we have to wait for the head of the family?" Qi Yaoyao said, looking at Chen Shi who was serving the bowl.

"The head of the family?" Mrs. Chen looked at her with a smile on her face when she heard this. "The two towns outside the city are fighting for water." She suddenly remembered that she might not understand, and immediately explained, "You know when you are fighting for water! There are no crops in this land. The water will die from drought, and the summer harvest will be over, not only will you not be able to pay taxes, but if there is a famine, you will have to sell your sons and daughters again." The voice lowered, "So! Don't complain, it's good to have some food."

What else can Qi Yaoyao say?In the countryside, in order to snatch water, it happened at that time, and people were beaten to death.

Marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law will never be found in the other's village.

"This kind of mass incident is not easy to solve, how did he solve it?" Qi Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at her with dark eyes and asked.

"He doesn't come back these days, he lives on the river, and he will come back after the crops are irrigated." Chen said with some distress, "After dinner, he has to send him a bed and a quilt. This night is no better than winter."

"But this doesn't solve the problem completely." Qi Yaoyao said as she looked at her with big eyes shining like obsidian.

"This..." Chen shi blinked and hesitated when he heard the words, "Come over this hurdle first, the crops are not waiting for anyone, and the rest will come back later."

In Qi Yaoyao's view, the solution once and for all is to build water conservancy and canals, but this also depends on the terrain.

Specific problems have to be analyzed in detail in order to find solutions.

Don't come back at night just fine!She hadn't figured out how to face him, even though the two were already husband and wife.

In the dead of night, she even wanted Silkworm to teach her housekeeping spells. It was important to take care of herself first.

Dirty is not her style.

Because of the water grab, Qi Yaoyao looked at the porridge in the bowl, and it seemed that it was not so difficult to swallow.

He picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in small mouthfuls.

Chen Shi was delighted to the naked eye for her obvious change.

After drinking the porridge, Pomegranate took away the two empty bowls.

Chen shi went into the bedroom and took a quilt and handed it to Lu Ming, and asked him to send it to the river for his son to keep him warm.

Chen shi led Qi Yaoyao to fold the burning paper into ingots. After dark, taking advantage of the moonlight to leave the yamen, he hurriedly burned the paper, and when the paper turned to ashes, he came back.

This savings didn't even have a candle, so I went back to the room in the dark.

As for what the county seat looked like, Qi Yaoyao didn't have time to take a closer look.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, there are no entertainment activities here, and a curfew is enforced this evening.

Qi Yaoyao sat cross-legged on the bed, put down the bed tent, and meditated in her heart, "Da Xian'er, Da Xian'er."

"What do you want me to do?" Silkworm Baby's lazy voice appeared in his mind.

Qi Yaoyao's eyes brightened abnormally in the darkness, "Aren't you going to teach me spells?"

"You first practice the ancient Xuanyuan swordsmanship, and then let's talk about it when you practice what you call 'qi'!" Silkworm Baby looked at her expectantly with big round eyes.

Qi Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and looked at it when she heard the words, "You won't lie to me to cultivate immortals!"

"Ow..." Silkworm looked at her in grief and said, "You... how can you slander this seat like this." The bean-sized tears rolled around in his eyes, hanging on his long eyelashes On, it seems to be lost, it looks so wrong.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have doubted Da Xian'er, can you help me?" Qi Yaoyao said quickly when she saw this, her voice was soft and soft, and she kept her attitude low for asking others low.

Seeing that her clothes were softened, Silkworm Baobao propped up her fleshy body with great satisfaction, looked at her with flickering, flickering big eyes and said, "It's almost the same."

Are these two changing faces so fast?Are they all so performative?Qi Yaoyao muttered in her heart.

"Uh...cough..." Silkworm said softly and solemnly, "Listen, this qi is the root of all spells, your dantian is empty, how do you recite spells? How do you make decisions? The process of cultivation is also The process of qi refining, this process is very boring, and those who are not persevering and tenacious can’t do it!”

Okay!Use the top-notch method!Qi Yaoyao looked at it amusingly and said, "There is nothing else, we have no shortage of perseverance."

"This method of refining qi is in your mind." Silkworm Baobao looked at her with a smile and said, his mouth grinning to his ears.

Qi Yaoyao climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged. According to the memory in her head, she began to meditate, breathe, and practice Xuanyuan swordsmanship.

hum!This little sample is not obediently following this seat to cultivate immortals!As long as you ask for it, you can do it.

Haha... Silkworm Baby laughed up to the sky.

The corners of Qi Yaoyao's lips twitched slightly, with a smile but not a smile, 'Who wins and who loses', God knows!

　Thanks for the votes babes.
