“Alright, alright, which one of you wouldn’t?” Liu Guixia also opened her mouth. She even sighed. “Alright, alright. Let’s go back.”
When they got home, Liu Guixia said to Xue Yifu, “Yifu, take a day off tomorrow. Don’t work in the workshop anymore. Go with your wife and Xue Yan to the town’s clinic. We’ve already agreed on this last time.”
“Okay.” Xue Yifu chuckled in agreement.
Jiang Yue walked over and tugged at Liu Guixia’s clothes. “I want to go to town tomorrow too.”
“Okay, you go too.” Liu Guixia agreed without thinking.
Everyone thought that she wanted to play in town and didn’t ask her what she wanted to do there. Only Xue Yan knew that she was going there for the candy.
He hadn’t forgotten that she had suddenly asked Xue Xiaobao and Dabao what they liked to eat last time.
…
The next day, Xue Yifu and Li Hehua were reluctant to spend the money to take the ox cart to town, but because the two children, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, were there, and the town was so far away, they took the ox cart. This was because they were reluctant to let the two children walk with them, let alone whether they would arrive there on time.
However, Tian still had to wait for others to take the ox cart, so he could pull as many people as possible to earn more money. Therefore, they were not in such a hurry to go to the village entrance.
“Hehua, this is ten silver. Take it and keep it well. Don’t lose it and don’t let anyone see it.” Liu Guixia gave Li Hehua 10 silver. “If the doctor asks you to take medicine, don’t be reluctant to spend money on it. This is a big matter. If it can be cured, we must definitely cure it.” If she couldn’t be cured, then there was no other way.
Liu Guixia didn’t say the last sentence out of fear that Li Hehua would feel uncomfortable.
“Okay.” Li Hehua responded softly, and then hurriedly put the ten silver into her money bag like a treasure. There was a smile on her face. It was not a smile of happiness, but a kind of hope. The hope that she might get pregnant in the future.
“Mother, give them some more copper coins. Yifu and the rest will only be back with the ox cart in the afternoon. They still have to eat in town in the afternoon,” Yu Hongyan said.
“Yes, yes, yes, I forgot.” Liu Guixia quickly turned around to get more money.
“There’s no need for that. Hehua and I still have fifty coins each, and we haven’t even used them yet. It won’t cost much to eat in town,” Xue Yifu said with a smile.
“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Liu Guixia said with a smile. She didn’t go to get more money.
Seeing this, Xue Yan asked Jiang Yue in a low voice, “Do we have enough money? Do you want more?”
Jiang Yue also whispered, “We’re just buying some wheat and glutinous rice to make it ourselves. We also need to buy some flour or cornmeal to prevent the sugar cubes from sticking together. We’re not making a lot of it, so it won’t cost much.”
She was going to make malt candy.
If they were to buy the caramels directly, the 100 coins that they had would not be able to buy much. However, if they were to make them themselves, the price of each ingredient would be less.
