C10 Evening

It was already dark outside, with only a crescent moon emitting a misty glow. In such a cold weather, it was chilly outside. Other than the few children who were still running outside, the other adults of the Fang family had already entered the room.

Using the weak light, Fang Ruzhu walked into the kitchen and found the willow branch in the corner. She then took out a bowl from the kitchen and began to brush her teeth.

Although it was ancient times, a toothbrush had already appeared. It was made from the hair of some kind of animal, such as a ponytail, or even tooth powder. However, people like the Fang family could not afford a toothbrush or powder, so they could only crush the willow branches and use them to brush their teeth.

It was her first time brushing this kind of willow branch, and she had even cracked her gums. Fang Ruxiu remembered this lesson, she was very careful with the brush, and finally cleaned her mouth. It felt pretty good, it felt pretty fresh, and if she had that natural pollution-free toothpowder, she would definitely have had a better experience.

The Yeats couple next door did not light up any oil lamps. It was unknown whether they were asleep or not, but the couple was whispering to each other, and the sound was very soft. Fang Ruxiu could not hear it clearly, even though the soundproofing effect of the room was not very good.

She touched the table beside the bed, but she didn't light it. Firstly, she didn't know how to use flint, and secondly, she didn't know what she wanted to do with the oil lamp, so she decided to forget about it. The oil lamp was too expensive, and the original owner didn't have a single copper coin.

It was filled with the two bird eggs that Fang Yizheng had taken out for her in the afternoon. She thought for a moment, then made a nest out of scraps of cloth in a corner of his bed, and placed the two bird eggs inside it. Then, he used a small jacket that he temporarily did not need to use to tightly cover them up.

She had just finished all this when she remembered that the newly hatched bird was hairless and needed a big bird to hold it by its body temperature. She couldn't possibly keep it under her armpit forever, could she? Thinking about it, she took out the two eggs again. Forget it, it was better to eat them. No matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were still meat. She touched her belly.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let go and said that he knew how to hatch. He knew the theory, but it was not certain that he would be able to hatch. Bad policy, bad policy, in the future when you do things, you must consider everything. Don't think that you know more than the ancients just because you are a modern man.

In fact, he was just standing on the shoulders of giants, and what he had done was just as timely.

Fang Ruxiu did not want to give the impression that she was a braggart. Even though it was such a small matter, she still planned to explain it clearly to Fang Yizheng and the others. After thinking about it, Fang Ruyi left her room and arrived in front of Fang Yizheng and the others.

"Knock, knock, knock." Fang Ruxiu reached out her hand and knocked on the door of Fang Yizheng and the others' room. At that moment, the three brothers did not know what was going on, but the inside of the house was in an uproar.

"Who is it?" After a while, the door finally opened, and Fang Yizhi's head popped out. Seeing that it was Fang Ruxiu, he asked in shock: "Big sister? It's you, I thought it was mother. "

"It's me." Fang Ruxiu handed a bag to Fang Yizhi in embarrassment and said: "I broke these two bird eggs, so I can't hatch any more birds. Sorry."

"It's fine, you can't hatch anymore. Just take it and eat it yourself. Big brother gave it to you to begin with, so you can do whatever you want with it." Fang Yizhi returned the bag to Fang Ruxiu. At this time, Fang Yizheng and Fang Yizhi arrived at the door and looked at Fang Rumian.

"Alright, then I'll have mother cook tomorrow for everyone to eat." Fang Ruxiu put it away and asked, "Third brother, do you have matters to attend to tomorrow?"

"It's nothing, what's wrong?" Fang Yicheng asked.

"Then accompany me to the mountain tomorrow. After I've washed my clothes, I'll come and get you." She wanted to go up the mountain and see if there was anything that could be exchanged for money.

"Fine." Fang Yizhi happily agreed, but at this time, Fang Yizheng said: "Little sister, you must ask mother about this, it's not safe on the mountain."

"It's alright. Mother will definitely agree. Then let's make a deal." Fang Ru Xiu said mischievously before turning around to leave.

After returning to her own room, Fang Ru Xiu was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. This bed was really burned to the point of making her feel uncomfortable. Although there was no time, it should only be around six at night right now. Besides, she had been lying in bed all day.

I can't sleep, I can't sleep. She began to let her imagination run wild. In her previous life, she had been walking up the mountain with her grandfather every day. It could be said that she had trained her physique, but this body was weak and had no strength left.

He thought of the people in this family, and thought of this poor family. Other than her mother Yeats s, grandmother Yu's s and a few other brothers, she had not interacted much with the rest of the people in this day and night. The original owner had also been in this house for a short time, so she didn't understand them all, but that wasn't important. The most important thing was that this house was too poor, she wanted to earn money and didn't want to eat congee like she did tonight.

In the entire Fang family, Yu's was a person who held great authority as a housekeeper. For the sake of this large family, she had made up her mind and thus, her temper became slightly bad, but in reality, she was not a bad person. She was also very kind. Other than those that came from the fields and soil at home, the rest of the embroidery, knitting and other income were all from him.

She had read a few novels in the past. The grandmothers described in the novels were all extremely cruel and inhuman, they were not allowed to deposit private money, and they were even more unkind to their wives and granddaughters. However, Yu's was not such a person. Although she was fierce, Fang Ruxiu liked her a lot. It was probably because she looked like her deceased grandmother.

In his previous life, there had always been a black and white photo of his grandfather in his wallet. The woman on it looked like the Yu's, and Fang Ruxiu felt that this was very coincidental.

Hmm, it must be like that, otherwise, why would Yu's look like his own grandmother, and treat him so well? In the original owner's memories, there were very few times where the Yu's had been this warm. However, today, she was truly very gentle to herself.

Maybe her grandma didn't remember her, but she must treat her grandma well. Today, seeing someone as old sewing as her, she felt really pained.

She had to earn a lot of money. As she laid under the blanket, Fang Ru Xiu secretly clenched her fists. She had to earn money. Well, tomorrow I'll go up the mountain and see if there are any business opportunities. If there aren't, then I'll go to the town and buy some colored threads.

In her memory, the original owner's work was first-class and good. Moreover, she had a lot of popular ideas and tricks up her sleeve, so she didn't believe that the original owner wouldn't be able to earn money in this ancient era. She couldn't live a bitter life for a while. She, Fang Ruxiu, wasn't someone who couldn't endure hardships. However, if one year passed and she still lived like this, then she would have come here for nothing.

Grandfather, Ru Xiu is here now, and she has a new environment for living in. She even has a grandmother who is very similar to Grandma Meng.

As usual, the index finger of her right hand habitually touched her thumb, but the emptiness of her thumb still made her a little unaccustomed to it. Fang Ruzhu closed her eyes and rummaged under the blanket; her mind was filled with thoughts, and in her daze, Fang Ruxiu fell asleep, and in the blink of an eye, the second day came.

On the second day, after washing up, Fang Ru decided to go to the river bank to wash her clothes. After washing up on the second day, Fang Ru decided to wash clothes. Ever since she was young, this was the first time that Fang Ruyi had tasted hunger. It was truly a terrible feeling.

After knocking on the door and entering the Yeats couple's room, he took out a washbasin from her room and planned to wash the clothes.

"Ru Xiu, you're sick. I'll wash these clothes." Yeats saw it and snatched the washtub from her hands: "It's a girl's, don't hurt your hand. Mother doesn't need to cook today, you don't need to wash it."

"Mother, how ? how can I accept this?" As Fang Ru Xiu said this, she continued to grip the basin tightly.

"Ru Yue, your home is usually busy, so I need you to do these things. If you're not busy, then mother will help you do it." As Yeats spoke, he lightly pulled the basin from Fang Ruxiu's hands.

Although Yeats was an ordinary peasant woman, she was different from the others. She was not like the majority of the women in the village who valued men over women;

If he really treated her as his mother, then it didn't matter if his mother did something. Normally, his daughter would even think of his mother acting like a spoiled child. After all, he was just thirteen years old. Thinking of this, Fang Ru Xiu gave the wooden basin to Yeats and said, "If that's the case, then thank you mother. "Oh right, I'm going out to play with Third Brother later."

"Silly child, why are you still thanking your mother?" Yeats was indeed a little happy when she saw Fang Ruxiu giving her the clothes in her hands. She looked at Fang Ruxiu with a smile and said, "It's rare for me to be able to help you with something, mother is also happy. You want to go out with your brother and play over there, but you're old and need to watch over your brother."

"Mm, don't worry." Fang Ruxiu smiled, then ran over to the next room to find Fang Yizhi.

"Little San'er." Fang Ruxiu secretly called out to them. Actually, when she called out this name, she felt that it was a little funny.

"Sis." Fang Yizhi did not open the door from inside the house, but responded from behind her.

"Why are you guys behind me? You scared me." Fang Ruxiu patted her chest and said.
