At noon, everyone parked the mule cart in the field beside the official road and began to have lunch.

Gu Fei was eating dry food for everyone at noon. Her aunt waved her over and handed her a piece of dried meat: “You didn’t eat anything about the rabbit meat yesterday. Bao’er took it all away. Eating some dried meat will make you feel better when walking.”

Out of the four nieces, her aunt usually likes Gu Fei the most. Gu Fei was the most well-behaved and the best-looking.

Well, Beauty was useful regardless of era.

Gu Fei was very embarrassed. All her aunt gave her was meat, and she didn’t know what she would get in return.

As she gnawed on the dried meat, she said, “Auntie, if Juhua can’t walk anymore, let her get on my carriage and rest. I’ll buy a mule cart tomorrow, and everyone can take turns and rest for a while.”

Juhua looked at Gu Fei and called out hesitantly: “Cousin.”

She looked at Gu Fei who was about the same age as herself and felt a little embarrassed to scream.

Gu Fei responded crisply and puffed up her chest. Well, she was like an elder to Juhua.

Hmm, should she give her some greeting gifts or something?

Her things were all modern, which was not easy to give.

Gu Fei pretended to dig into her sleeve, took a white flour pancake handed it to Juhua, and ran away quickly.

Auntie smiled and said: “This girl is honest and doesn’t want to let others suffer.”

Juhua held the white flour pancake in her hand and handed it to her aunt, “Mother, you eat it.”

Auntie shook her head and said: “You go ahead and give some to your two brothers. The boys eat a lot, and this little nest is not enough.”

After eating dry food, we continued on our way. Today, they walked faster than yesterday. In the evening, we arrived at Fuyuan Town, which Uncle Ma mentioned.

The town was not big, with two horizontal streets and three straight streets. As soon as they entered the town, the village chief started to ask an old man: “Brother, where is the cheapest inn in your town?”

The old man smiled and said, “There are only two inns in the town. There are so many mules here, so go to the Liu’s Inn. It’s just at the end of this street. It’s a big place over there and the prices are not expensive.”

The village chief thanked the old man, and everyone drove the mule cart over there.

Gu Fei didn’t ask for a bath today. One hundred yuan a bucket of water made her feel sick.

She counted the heads of the family, paid the money for the shop, and the family began to make dinner again.

There was no firewood to collect in this town, so the Gu family spent two cents to buy bundles of dry firewood for the fire.

Mrs. Chen didn’t cook meat today, no one in their group can eat meat every day.

After boiling a pot of water, made a basin of noodles, dug out some pickled vegetables, cut them, and boiled them together.

Such a simple thing but still made others envious.

Mrs. Qian glanced over them several times. When setting up the stove today, Gu Erlang deliberately chose a place far away from her.

The yard wasn’t so big, so people could see clearly what every household eats.

There were eleven people in the Gu family, including the old lady and Uncle Ma. One pot of noodles was not enough, so they ate it with the men and the old lady first and then cooked a second pot.

Bao’er was holding a cooked egg while gnawing on it while standing by the pot and drooling. However, he didn’t dare to reach out and grab it now. After watching for a while, he ran to Mrs. Qian’s side and shouted: “Mom, I want to eat noodles too.”

Mrs. Qian said angrily: “Shut up. Our family won’t even be able to eat grains for a few days, don’t think about eating good things every day.”

Bao’er sat down on the ground and started howling again: “I want to eat noodles, I want to eat——”

The corners of Mrs. Qian’s mouth twitched. There was nothing she could do about Bao’er. She handed Xing’er a bowl: “Go, go to your second uncle and ask for some noodle soup for your brother.”
