After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 718: Preparing for the New Year
"You should take the medicine quickly and keep your body healthy so that you can realize your ambitions." Qin Xiaomi pointed at the medicine on the stove and went to find a basket to carry the boiled medicine back to the Qin family shop.

"Okay." Jiang Dalang finished the medicine in a few gulps, put down the medicine bowl, and went to move the medicine jar: "Xiaomi, just stand by and wait. Let me do it."

He quickly put the six medicine jars into two baskets, carried them on a shoulder pole, turned around and said to Qin Xiaomi with a smile: "Okay, Xiaomi, let's go home for lunch."

He is really different from the Dog Emperor. The Dog Emperor has a dead look on his face, but he loves to laugh, and he is not stingy with his smile. He laughs with his teeth showing, and his smile is as bright as the sun.

He is also good at farm work.

For example, plowing the fields, harvesting wheat, growing vegetables, raising livestock, and carrying loads. Although he is not proficient in everything, he can do it all.

He also likes to help others... If you want the dog emperor to help others, you have to exchange your life or your entire fortune for it.

"Xiaomi, let's go." Jiang Dalang called her.

"Yeah." Qin Xiaomi came back to her senses. The two of them walked out of the back door, one in front and one behind, and left the Xue family shop... The Xue family shop stocked medicinal materials, so it was more convenient to come here to get and boil the medicine.

There was some snow on the ground. Jiang Dalang looked at her back, followed her footsteps, and walked forward with her... He could walk this road for the rest of his life.

But what he wanted more was to hold her in his arms or carry her on his back, just like when she loved him the most and depended on him the most in her previous life.

Unfortunately, the road from Xuejiazhaipu to Qinjiazhaipu is very short and can be walked in less than half a quarter of an hour.

The Qin family shop was bustling with the sounds of chopping stuffing, frying food, adults scolding children not to get close to the frying pan in the kitchen, and women gossiping.

"My relative-in-law Han thinks too highly of my family. He told us that there was snow on the road and it was difficult to travel, so there was no need to send fish and that our families could buy them. But we refused to listen and insisted on sending the fish. Not only did the leader of the Han clan bring fish, he also brought ten carts of dry firewood. Wow, in the dead of winter, he was able to send ten carts of dry firewood. In Baofu County, which family can be so capable?!" Grandma Qin boasted about her relative-in-law in a high-pitched voice.

"Yes, the Wen family is very generous. Today they brought dozens of carts of New Year's supplies to Grandma Alan and her family, including food, clothes, and firewood." Jiang Xiaozhu said while pulling on the kitchen door.

Granny Qin choked and got angry. She raised a broom and chased them away: "You little brats, hurry up and go play on the front bunk. Today is oil-burning day. There are big oil pots in the kitchen. If you dare to get close to the kitchen again, I will go to Xiaomi to complain!"

"Humph, you're such a stingy woman." Jiang Xiaozhu replied. Just as she was about to take her friends to the front bunk, she saw Qin Xiaomi and ran over happily, "Sister Xiaomi!"

Boom, boom! Both she and little Fubao fell down.

"I told you guys to not run because it's cold and you're wearing heavy clothes. You should walk slowly. Look, you fell again." Qin Xiaomi had no choice but to walk over and pick up little Fubao who couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled. She made him stand up and said, "Hurry to the front bunk. Each of you will drink a bowl of soup to get rid of the cold."

Jiang Xiaozhu had just been pulled up by Qin Xiaomai. When she heard this, she was so scared that she almost fell down again. She said with a bitter face, "Sister Xiaomi, I don't have a cold. Can I not take the medicine?"

So bitter.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and pointed behind her: "Go ask your brother."

Jiang Xiaozhu immediately said: "It's good to take medicine, it can prevent illness, I will drink it, I am not afraid of the bitterness."

This change made Qin Xiaomi speechless. She pinched her cheeks and said, "You are so hypocritical."

Double standard?

When Jiang Dalang heard this, he laughed... In his previous life, he had told her not to say these strange words outside, but in this life, he liked to hear her say these strange words the most.

I also like to watch her bickering with children and quarreling with Qin Liupo, just because she is lively and happy like this.

"Let's go to the front shop." Qin Xiaomi took them to the front shop.

In the front shop, Qin Jingyi, Qin Xiaogu, Jiang Erlang, Qin Sheng, and Qin Mao were working on the assignments given by Master Xun. Very good, all the people were present. One person was ordered to drink a bowl of bitter medicine that made his facial features wrinkle.

After drinking the medicine, Qin Dashi's wife and Qin Dayan's wife brought millet porridge and fried meatballs and shouted, "Dalang, Xiao Mi, you take these kids to have lunch. After eating, take a rest. You don't need to help in the kitchen. It will be troublesome if there are too many people. We can do the work."

"Yeah." Qin Xiaomi responded and started taking care of the child.

Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, Qin Ying and others went to catch the fish.

The Han family had lived in this county for generations, knew many people, and had many connections. They got a batch of cheap and good fish and sent them to the Zhou and Qin families.

Not only did he deliver it personally, but he also charged only 25 coins per pound from the Zhou and Qin families.

During Chinese New Year, people are concerned about having surplus every year. In the county town, fish are sold at the price of fat meat, 35 cents per pound.

A truckload of 200 kilograms of large fish was sent to the Zhou family. It was delivered personally by Patriarch Han. After all, the family was able to marry into the Qin family thanks to the generosity of Village Chief Zhou.

Three carts were sent to the Qin family, with a total of more than 600 kilograms of large fish, and ten carts of dry firewood, each with five loads. Even if there was a snowstorm, it would be enough for Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao's families to keep warm and cook.

The road is difficult to walk on in the snow, so Grandpa Qin decided to let the Han family members stay for one night or stay in the Xue family's warehouse.

Patriarch Han agreed, and during the afternoon, he took the Han family members to help Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao kill the fish.

When Grandpa Qin told her about this, Grandma Qin hurried to pack up the return gifts: "The Han family is so kind. In such a cold day, they helped us kill the fish. We can't just do the job... Each family that buys the fish has to pay a portion of the wages. Our family and Sixth Brother's wife's family will pack up some gifts and take them back to Chief Han."

Grandma Qin didn't want to give a return gift, but Grandma Qin didn't allow her, so she could only go home and pack a gift.

The next day, the Qin family brought the return gifts, put the wages in the return gifts, and went to send them to Chief Han: "We are all relatives. You help us, and we will take over. We are returning the gifts, and Brother Han cannot refuse."

After hearing this, Chief Han felt relieved and accepted the gift: "Brother Qin, my dear relatives, we will accept it... No need to send it. It's freezing cold. You can go home quickly and we can go out by ourselves."

Grandpa Qin still took Qin Laoliu and sent Chief Han and the others to the intersection before returning home.

After the fish arrived, Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao were busy frying the fish.

Qin Xiaomi also said: "Grandma, let's make fish balls."

"Fish balls? The fish balls that Master Huang mentioned?" Grandma Qin thought about it and agreed: "Okay, spend a day making fish balls. Eating too much fried food is not good for your stomach. Fish balls are sweet and suitable for both adults and children."

"Thank you, grandma. You're so nice." Qin Xiaomi was happy and praised Grandma Qin a lot.

Grandma Qin said, "This year, the Han family helped kill the fish. Otherwise, it would be busy enough just to kill and fry the fish, and they wouldn't allow you to make fish balls. It takes too much effort."

Then he said, "Go and play with Dalang quickly. Don't block us here. We still have to make fried fish."

Six hundred kilograms of fish, even if only half of them were fried into fish fillets or whole fish, would be enough to keep several families busy. Therefore, the aroma of fried fish wafted through the Qin family's side of New Street all day long.

The next day, we started making fish balls.

Seeing that Qin Xiaomi was looking forward to eating fish balls, Jiang Dalang called Xiaobai over and asked him to teach her how to make them.

Xiaobai is a professional and told the Qin family a recipe for seasoning powder. After adding it to the fish paste, they made firm, chewy, sweet and delicious fish balls.
