Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 28 Good things should be hidden

As the night grew darker, Gu Fei fell asleep while reading a book.

Ms. Chen has been waiting for Gu Zhang in the main room.

　At midnight, Gu Zhang hurried back home.

“You **** old man, you didn’t tell me where you were!” Ms. Chen cursed.

Gu Zhang waved his hand, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow I, the girl and Da Lang will go into the city, so let's rest first."

 The old couple and Gu Fei were lying on the same bed.

As soon as the rooster crows for the first time, Mrs. Chen gets up. She has to quickly prepare breakfast for the father and son to eat before heading into the city.

 Entering the kitchen, Li Chunhua was already there.

She squatted on the ground holding an oil lamp and was stunned.

Mrs. Chen followed her gaze and looked over. There were two big bags on the ground. The material of the bags had never been seen before. There were writings on them, but Mrs. Chen was illiterate and didn't know what was written.

She walked over and looked at it doubtfully. Just as she was about to cut it open with a knife, Li Chunhua suddenly shouted, "Mom, be careful, I felt it was food inside."

 Food?

 Two bags so big?

Mrs. Chen’s eyes were shining, and she carefully untied the string at the mouth of the bag. When she opened it, she saw that there was white rice inside!

 Chen and Li Chunhua looked at each other, both of them were shocked.

 The other bag was also opened, and it was full of white flour.

Ms. Chen stretched out her hand and grabbed a handful. It was white and thin.

After a long while, Mrs. Chen said tremblingly: "Chunhua, you can't talk to anyone except your family about this matter."

Li Chunhua nodded vigorously, "Mom, I won't tell you."

“You can’t even talk to your mother’s family! Remember!”

"I won't tell, I won't tell anyone. Don't worry, mother, I know the severity." Li Chunhua grabbed Chen's hand, "Mother, I think this must be given to us by the fairy when she saw that our family had no food to eat. ,dont you agree?"

Mrs. Chen nodded, "Isn't it? The grass said she is a little fairy."

The two of them knew tacitly that these things, like the fruit last night, had something to do with Gu Fei.

Chen looked around and said, "This has to be hidden."

Li Chunhua came up with an idea, "Mom, I'm afraid I have to hide in the room. Anyone can enter this kitchen."

“Yes, yes, yes, hide this flour in your room, and hide the rice in our room.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hid the flour and rice, then scooped up a large bowl of flour to make breakfast.

 Back in the kitchen, Li Chunhua shouted again, "Mom, look what is this?"

There is a transparent bag on the chopping board, and the contents inside are all white.

“This is salt?” Mrs. Chen opened the bag, dipped a little on her finger and put it in her mouth.

 So sweet!

 “Spring flowers are sugar, try it!”

Li Chunhua also dipped some in it and put it in her mouth. It was really sweet.

 “Why is this candy so white?”

 At this time, the sugar consumed by every household was brown sugar. White sugar was already available, but it was expensive and ordinary people were reluctant to eat it.

Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Bring some eggs and make egg pancakes in the morning. Add some sugar."

　　Li quickly took the eggs and started kneading the noodles.

When Gu Fei got up, there was no one in the room.

She took off her clothes tremblingly and put on the apricot-yellow and green jacket and skirt her father had bought for her. There was nothing she could do about her hair. It was painful for her to comb it herself.

 After changing her clothes, Gu Fei took the toothpaste and toothbrush from the space, disheveled her hair and went to the kitchen to get water.

Now that there is a drought, the water in the wells is almost drying up, and only one or two buckets of turbid muddy water can be fetched a day.

Li Chunhua saw her coming in and said hurriedly: "Sister, do you want some water to wash your face? Don't move, my sister-in-law will do it for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Fei smiled sweetly, and she smelled the fragrance of the dough.
