I farmed and raised children in ancient times

Chapter 69 Expansion
Xie Zhilan was almost stunned by her reaction, just now she almost thought that someone had traveled through time!

Even Mrs. Chen couldn't react a bit.

Shouldn't this person thank them first for saving his life after he wakes up?

"Mum—mother—what's the matter with you?"

Ji Xiaoyun was also startled by the woman's appearance, she held her mother's hand tightly to keep her from moving.

"Yun'er, where are your mother's clothes?" The woman only wanted her own clothes.

"It's left there, I didn't throw it away." Xie Zhilan pointed to the basin in the corner.

Originally, she planned to help her wash, but because she was busy making medicine, she forgot about it.

The woman struggled to get off the bed, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes and ran over to grab the clothes in her hands.

She opened the clothes inside tremblingly, and only after pinching a small hard object did she let out a long sigh of relief! !
"Mother—don't scare Yun'er, mother! What's the matter with you?"

Ji Xiaoyun almost cried because of what her mother said.

"It's all right, mother is all right!"

It wasn't until this time that the women noticed that the surroundings were no longer the broken place they used to live in.

She stood up grabbing her clothes, swayed, and was supported by Ji Xiaoyun.

"You're sick, I think it's better to lie on the bed." Chen said out loud.

Ji Xiaoyun said: "Mother, it was my mother-in-law and sister Xie who saved us!"

The woman was grateful when she heard the words, "Thank you both for saving your life."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Xie Zhilan hurried over to support her.

She finally knew why Ji Xiaoyun always knelt down, it must be influenced by her mother.

"You sit down and drink the medicine first, otherwise it will be cold in a while."

The woman sat back on the bed as she said, took the medicine handed over by Xie Zhilan and drank it without frowning.

Xie Zhilan was relieved.

When the person wakes up and drinks the medicine, her merits and virtues are considered complete.

Xie Zhilan took Ji Xiaoyun out to cook, while Chen stayed behind to take care of the woman and inquire about her affairs.

It was only later that Xie Zhilan found out that the woman's surname was Zheng, and her husband was a little general. After half a year, the little general didn't come back after going out. Immediately afterwards, he received news of his death and something in the mail.

Mrs. Zheng cried so hard that she insisted on looking for her husband to collect his body, but her in-laws did not allow her, so she sneaked out with her only daughter at night. Who would have thought that a thief would steal the money from her luggage, so she had no choice but to follow the refugees there. Qingping County.

It's just that I didn't expect to fall ill as soon as I came here, and almost gave my life here.

Mrs. Chen sighed for a while, although she usually talked to her daughter like a knife, but she was actually soft-hearted, and the woman was weak, and the girl was well-behaved, so Mrs. Zheng and her daughter stayed in Xie's house like this.

When Qin Sheng and the others came back in the evening, they were very surprised to find that there were two more people in the family, but Xie Lin was the only one who was very happy. He finally had a playmate.

Because of Mrs. Zheng's arrival, their family divided into two tables, Qin Sheng took Xie Qing and Xie Lin to eat in the hall, while the women ate in the kitchen.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoyun is very sensible, Xie Zhilan originally planned to let her study with her son, but considering that she didn't spend money to invite Mr. It was inconvenient for the little girl, so she gave up the idea.

However, Mrs. Zheng felt very uneasy. After all, both mother and son had to spend money for food and lodging at Xie's house. They insisted on helping Mrs. Chen to make cakes and sell them together. Mrs. Chen couldn't hold her back, so she had to agree.

Xie Zhilan saw that she seemed to have never cooked before, so she patiently taught her some common sense. Seeing that she was very hardworking, and with her help, her old mother felt much more at ease.

She simply exchanged for a larger pan, so that the daily shipment of pancakes reached about [-].

But it would take some effort to sell so many cakes at one of their stalls, so Xie Zhilan decided to help a group of folks who were still in dire straits.

After hearing about her plan, Mrs. Chen couldn't help staring, "Is it appropriate for you to earn money from the villagers like this?"

Xie Zhilan didn't take it seriously, "Mother, they don't need to make cakes, they just need to set up a stall to sell them, and they can earn a penny each, I think we are losing money!"

"But, how can the folks have so much money to do this business now?"

Now my daughter really wants to do it all the time, and she wants the villagers to buy her cakes for a couple of pennies and then sell them. Those people can't live on anymore. How can they have money to do this business?

Xie Zhilan smiled, "Mom, we are helping them. If they don't know what to do and still think we are dark-hearted, then I really can't help it. Such a person would starve to death and take up space!"

Chen's face darkened, "How can you say that? After all, they all belong to the folks in the village."

"Okay, let me ask first, after all, this business is not just done by anyone."

Xie Zhilan didn't want to argue with her mother about making money, so she ran to the village head first.

The village head is very busy right now.

He went back to the village twice these days, and none of the houses survived. Don't even think about other trees, crops, etc. It can be said that the flood brought their village back to the point of poverty.

Hearing that Xie Zhilan planned to lead the villagers to improve their lives, Xie Cheng almost burst into tears.

"Alan, it's really touching that you can think of the folks. Don't worry, I'll talk to the folks right away,"

Xie Zhilan hurriedly followed, after all, she was afraid that the village chief would not be able to explain this matter clearly.

Compared with the last time I came to this temporary shanty town, there were obviously a lot more people in it this time. Fortunately, the people in Liushu Village were all together, which made it convenient for the village chief to announce the great news.

"Folks, I think you all know more or less that Alan and her mother make cakes and sell them in the county every day, and the business is pretty good. Therefore, Alan wants to sell the cakes to the villagers at a lower price, and the villagers take them out. If you sell it, you can earn some money. I don’t know which folks are willing to do this business?”

Buzzing voices started, and everyone's expressions were complex and delicate. After all, they were the ones who took pity on Xie Lan's family in the past, but they didn't expect that one day they would be pitied by Xie Lan's family.

Xie Zhilan pursed her lips and waited for them to express their views.

Doing business is not something everyone can do. Besides, for most people, doing business is still something that is not on the table. They would rather go back to the countryside to farm.

It seems that after a while, and it seems that half a century passed, finally a thin voice reached Xie Zhilan's ears.

"Alan, how is the cake business going?"

Xie Zhilan looked over and saw that she was the daughter-in-law of Uncle Li's family, whose surname seemed to be Zhao.

Grandma Li is ill, and Uncle Li's family is in a state of gloom.

Originally, I thought that Grandma Li's illness would recover after a few days, but I didn't expect that this delay would cost more money. Now the seven or eight members of their family depend on the daily porridge donated by the county government to survive. .

But neither Uncle Li nor Aunt Li knew how to do business, so they didn't open their mouths even though they were moved.

Unexpectedly, this daughter-in-law, who usually doesn't talk too much, suddenly thought about it.

But Uncle Li, including his son, didn't say anything.

Xie Zhilan said: "Bring cakes from my house for two cents a piece. My mother sells three cents on the street, and you can also sell three cents. In other words, you can earn one penny for each cake you sell."

One cake earns one penny, ten is ten pennies, fifty...

After such a settlement, everyone was a little moved.
