Chapter Fifty-Eight: Distressing Livelihoods

The sky turned white, the first rooster crow sounded in the village, and Qiao Qixin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

It's not that she is diligent, it's because she has insomnia.

Qiao Qixin spent the whole night thinking about how to make money.

I wanted to rely on Xiaotong's reward to open a special rapeseed shop.

But the nature of those dishes is so outrageous that if they sell it, they will go out of business sooner or later.

"Hey..." Qiao Qixin covered her forehead, feeling like her hair was about to disappear.

"Qixin, are you awake? It's time to get up and eat." Zhang Li knocked on the door.

Qiao Qixin responded, then got out of bed and opened the door.

"Oh." Zhang Li immediately exclaimed when she saw Qiao Qixin, "Did you commit thief last night? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?"

"No," Qiao Qixin rubbed her head, "Maybe I was too excited last night and didn't sleep very long."

Zhang Li nodded and said, "Well, that's what we women should be like, men are nothing!"

After that, Zhang Li put her arm around Qiao Qixin's shoulders and led her to the washing area.

"Wash your face quickly, or your brother will finish breakfast quickly!" Zhang Li threatened.

"I know." Qiao Qixin reached out and took off the new towel Zhang Li prepared for her, feeling warm in her heart.

After washing up, Qiao Qixin came to the dining table and sat down.

Brother Zhang had already finished eating and went to work in the fields. There was only half a pot of white porridge, a steamed bun, and a plate of untouched mustard left on the table.

"Come, let's eat together." Zhang Li filled a bowl of white porridge for Qiao Qixin, "By the way, this plate of pickled mustard was specially left for you by your elder brother. You can finish it all."

Qiao Qixin looked at the plate of pickled mustard, and the salty and bitter taste in her mouth last night came to her mind again.

Qiao Qixin:...Thank you, Brother Zhang

Zhang Li didn't notice Qiao Qixin's expression, and said while drinking porridge, "There is a market in town today, Qixin, do you want to go with me or something?"

"I'll go too." Qiao Qixin said immediately.

I just happened to go to town to see if there were any business opportunities, but I really couldn't work as a laborer like before.

Workers have the soul to work, and workers are all superior to others.

Qiao Qixin and Zhang Li chatted at the table.

After breakfast, Qiao Qixin and Zhang Li took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.

As a result, the two of them started fighting in the kitchen over who was washing the dishes.

"I'll wash it! Sister, don't earn this from me!"

"No, I'll wash it! How many years have I been washing it! Qixin, are you cheating on me! Ah?!"



In the end, Qiao Qixin won.

"We agreed, I'll do the washing in the morning and evening, and you can do the washing at noon." Qiao Qixin said as she washed the dishes.

Zhang Li glared and retorted, "What you just said is that you wash breakfast, I wash it at noon and I wash it at night!"

"I don't care, I have to wash it sooner or later." Qiao Qixin said shamelessly.

The two of you are fighting with each other, and they get along very lively.

Time passed quickly, and it was already afternoon in a blink of an eye.

"Qixin! It's time to go to the market!" Zhang Li greeted at the door.

"Coming, coming!" Qiao Qixin put her basket on her back and trotted back to Zhang Li.

Today is a big gathering, with one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Zhang Li didn’t want to rush early, so she postponed the afternoon one.

Qiao Qixin followed Zhang Li with a backpack on her back, feeling a little excited in her heart.

She had never been to a market since she came here, so she didn't know what good things there were in ancient markets.

market

"Come on, let's take a look at the acrobatics show!"

"Pineapple cake! Newly baked pineapple cake!"

"It's so lively." Qiao Qixin put her head in and said, looking like she had never seen the world.

"What? Didn't you often go to the market before?" Zhang Li knocked Qiao Qixin on the head.

Qiao Qixin covered her head and stuck out her tongue and said, "When I went to the market before, I was busy looking for things for those little bastards. How could I have time to go shopping?"

Zhang Li nodded to express her understanding, and then suggested, "Would you like to eat pineapple cake? Buy two and try them?"

"eat!"

Of course! She loves sweets the most!

"I want two pineapple cakes." Zhang Li bent over and said to the vendor buying pineapple cakes.

"Ten copper coins."

"garrulous."

"Okay, here are two pineapple cakes, please take them."

Zhang Li handed one of the pineapple cakes to Qiao Qixin, "Try it quickly, how does it taste?"

Qiao Qixin took a bite and unfortunately the pineapple filling inside burned her tongue.

"Okay, delicious!" she said while exhaling.

"As long as it tastes good," Zhang Li said with a smile, and then carefully wrapped the piece of pineapple cake in her hand.

"Sister, don't you want to eat?" Qiao Qixin asked.

Zhang Li snorted proudly, then threw the wrapped pineapple cake into the basket behind her, "I won't eat it. It's because Lao Zhang likes these. I'll take them back for him to eat."

She would never buy pineapple cakes. If Qiao Qixin hadn't just escaped from suffering and wanted to make her happy, she would have been reluctant to buy it.

Qiao Qixin looked at the pineapple cake in her hand, then broke off half of it, "Sister."

"Huh?" Zhang Li turned around subconsciously, and at this moment, half a piece of steaming pineapple cake was stuffed into her mouth by Qiao Qixin.

The sweet and warm taste spreads in the mouth.

"We each have half." Qiao Qixin patted Zhang Li on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Li looked at her angrily, "I told you I wouldn't eat it."

Then the tip of the tongue quietly moved around in the mouth.

It's quite sweet.
