At this time, Shen Qingqian was fast asleep in her room.
After spinning like a top for half a month, even with the blessing of the divine spring water, she felt very tired, and she slept until three o'clock in the morning.
Today is a rare sunny day, and Wu and the others went out to the fields early.
Mrs. Xiao Lin stayed at home with a few children. Seeing that it was getting late, she came to the third house and called Shen Qingqian, "Sixth sister, are you up? The rice that the third aunt left for you is getting cold."
Shen Qingqian opened her eyes drowsily and found that it was already bright. She quickly sat up and shouted back: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll be right away."
This is good, her reputation for staying in bed has probably spread.
Shen Qingqian quickly got dressed and went to the sink to brush her teeth and wash her face. After finishing that, she went to Wu's room.
Nowadays, the Wu family's living room is the main room and dining room of the Shen family. The Shen family eats here every day, and they can chat and have fun and lively afterward.
"Sixth sister, come quickly," Mrs. Xiao Lin greeted her with a smile when she saw her coming in. "My mother specially boiled eggs for you in the morning. She said that you must be tired because you have been busy these days."
On the surface, Shen Qingqian seems to have done nothing, but in the hearts of the Shen family, the money she makes from selling the seasonings supports most of the family's current expenses.
When Shen Qingqian politely told Wu that she wanted to hand over the formula, Wu personally told Shen Qingqian to keep the formula for her dowry, but before she got married, this part of the money would temporarily belong to the father-in-law.
The reason why it is said to be temporary is because Wu has not yet decided what to use to balance Shen Qingqian's efforts in this matter.
Shen Qingqian looked at the porridge and side dishes on the table, as well as the boiled egg, and felt a little embarrassed, "Auntie is so thoughtful, but I actually didn't do anything."
If you don't count her sneaking out to stock up on food at night, taking care of the children and collecting herbs to make medicine during the day is really nothing.
But farming is a physically demanding job! What's more, it was such a large amount. She was able to do it for half a month, thanks to the divine spring water.
"Don't be so modest. We all see what you do for the family." Xiao Lin said sincerely.
In the past, she would occasionally feel unbalanced because of her mother-in-law's preference for the sister from the third room, but now she finally knows the reason.
During the recent period, Shen Qingqian not only taught them how to handle medicinal materials every night, but also had to handle the raw materials for seasonings when they returned home. She was never idle for a moment.
Shen Qingqian knew she had misunderstood, but there was no way to explain the misunderstanding. She had no choice but to accept it with a dry smile, and then ate her meal.
"Sister-in-law, what are aunt and uncle doing in the fields today?" Shen Qingqian asked knowingly.
Xiao Lin laughed so hard that her eyes rolled, "Go and collect the vegetables. Many of the ones we planted before are ready to be eaten."
"Really?" Shen Qingqian pretended to be surprised, "I looked green the past two days and thought it would take ten days."
Xiao Lin nodded and said with a smile: "It's true. Jiang Dazhuang and Liu Nan went for a run in the morning. When they saw that the vegetables were edible, they asked us to take people to collect them when they came back."
Ever since Shen Qingqian talked about the importance of physical fitness, several older children got up early to run and exercise together.
"Then I'll go help in the fields too." Shen Qingqian put the bowls away in the kitchen and quickly finished washing them and went out.
You don't need to think about it to know that the vegetables in the valley can mature so quickly, which is naturally her contribution.
When she came to the field, she happened to hear Wu's regretful words.
"It's a pity that it's already winter, so we can't plant any more, otherwise we might still be able to make a profit."
Shen Qingqian trotted over and looked at Wu with a smile, "Auntie, you can also grow vegetables in winter."
