A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 296 Can’t I just stay at home and relax?

As expected, how could ordinary people put themselves in danger? Except for a few houses that were too dilapidated or elderly people living alone who could not be cleaned, no accidents happened.

Life is indeed hard for beggars in the city.

Most of them lived in dilapidated temples, their houses were leaky, they had little to eat, and their clothes were extremely tattered.

"Daya, go and call the village head over."

Just leave this matter to Guan Zhuangtou. He is steady and reliable.

"My Lord, the disaster is not serious. We can just buy some food and clothes and send them to the ruined temple. As the New Year is approaching, we can buy some candy and meat for them to celebrate the New Year. What do you think?"

Xiao Ran also felt relieved, as long as everything was fine.

"You are very thoughtful. Let's arrange it this way."

If this is the case in Pingyang County, I'm sure there won't be major mistakes in other places.

Xiaomi and Wang stayed in the kitchen for most of the afternoon, and waves of delicious food wafted out through the small door.

Today they made fried chicken, fried fish, and croquettes.

Every time the food came out of the pot, while it was still hot, Lin Xiaomi would serve them a bowl to taste, and she herself never stopped eating. After half a day, the whole family was full.

"Xiaomi, are we going to have hotpot for dinner?" Wang asked. She was a little sick of the meat and had no appetite.

"Uh, mother, ask the kitchen to make some millet porridge and prepare a few light side dishes to go with it."

She stood in the oil pan for a long time and ate a lot in the afternoon, but she didn't want to eat. I guess other people are the same, every time they prepare New Year's goods for the New Year, it's the same.

"What are we going to do tomorrow?"

"Let's make the beef jerky. There's a lot of meat. Let's make an extra spicy flavor this time."

Wang knew her daughter loved to eat jerky. "Leave 20 kilograms of the cow and make the rest into jerky?"

"You don't need that much. Just make half of it. You can enjoy the rest slowly. Didn't Dad say he wanted to give some to grandma, uncle, and grandpa?"

"One hundred kilograms is enough."

"Really, no need, mother. There is beef in the mansion. We can eat it anytime we want."

In Pingyang City, meat is only distributed when an old cow dies. But it is different in the Marquis' Mansion, as someone will deliver meat to the door regularly.

Seeing her daughter say this, Wang nodded.

"Everyone in the meat jerky kitchen knows how to make it. Just take a rest tomorrow and don't do it yourself." I have worked so hard to make my hands tender, but now they are rough again. What should I do?

"understood."

late at night.

The sleeping person seemed to hear "bang bang" knocks on the door.

"I gonna go see."

Xiao Ran stood up and put on his clothes.

The waiters outside all stood up and stood at the door: "What's wrong?"

"Someone came over from the old master's place and said that the old master had caught a cold and started to have a fever at night. He was delirious. Master, the lady is changing her clothes."

Grandpa has a fever?

Lin Xiaomi woke up instantly and immediately got out of bed and got dressed.

Xiao Ran walked in and saw her getting dressed. She also put on her cotton jacket by herself and didn't ask anyone to help her.

"You are already up!" The two sons were also up. When the elder is sick, it makes sense for the younger generation not to serve him.

"Dad, have you sent someone to get a doctor?"

Lin Xiaomi knew that the doctor in the village was not very good at medicine and had limited medicinal materials.

"I've gone to pick them up. Let's go. The carriage is waiting outside. Let's go to the old house. The old man is in such good health, how come he has a fever?" Lin Dashan kept muttering to himself, looking very anxious.

Who knows?

The group got on the carriage and hurried to the old house.

When they entered the room, everyone else automatically made way for them. Except for Lin Dachuan and his wife Lin Dahai, everyone else stepped back.

As soon as they saw the prince, everyone in the room became a little nervous.

"Brother (uncle), sister-in-law (aunt)!"

The old man was lying on the bed, breathing heavily, his face flushed, a towel on his forehead, his mouth slightly open, and you could tell from the looks of him that he was very uncomfortable.

"Why do you suddenly have a fever?" Lin Dashan asked as he entered the door.

"Dad can't stay at home. You know he either goes to chat with my second uncle or the village head or clan leader. It snowed these past two days, but he still went out. I can't stop him. I guess he got a cold. He just had a cough yesterday and seemed to be better in the evening. Who knew he would have a high fever in the evening."

Lin Dachuan was also in a panic. Dad couldn't be in trouble. As long as Dad was around, his eldest brother's family would take him into consideration, and the two families could still be tied together. If Dad was gone, Mom wouldn't be liked by his eldest brother at all, and his eldest brother didn't like his son, so the two families would only have face left.

Lin Dashan frowned. How could he be so noisy at his age? Couldn't he just stay at home and spend the winter there peacefully?

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said the fever was caused by the cold. He prescribed medicine and I took it, but the fever didn't go away."

Old Mrs. Li was wiping her tears at the side. She usually didn't feel anything, but when the old man suddenly fell down, she felt like she had lost her backbone and was extremely panicked.

"The doctor from the city will be here soon and will give Dad a good look."

Bending over, he looked at the sleeping old man. Unconsciously, his father's hair had almost turned completely white. Lying on the bed, he was just an old man in his twilight years, weak in body.

Lin Dashan felt mixed emotions and felt bitter.

Lin Dachuan and Lin Dahai both felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.

Lin Xiaomi glanced at his father. After all, he was his biological father. No matter how partial he was, his father still couldn't let go.
