After picking and choosing for half a day, Jiujiu finally bought a bolt of black cloth. She then bought another bolt of cloth for Li Qiuyue and Ma Juhua. Only then did she arrive at the meeting point with Huang Dashan under Huang Yixiao's escort.
When the two arrived, Huang Dashan was already waiting for them. Seeing Jiujiu and Huang Yixiao, Huang Dashan immediately smiled and said, "You're here."
Jiujiu said apologetically, "Sorry for making you wait."
"It's fine, I just arrived." Huang Dashan chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. After waiting for Jiujiu to finish, he waved at Huang Yixiao and slowly drove the ox cart away.
Seeing Jiujiu's departing figure, Huang Yixiao clenched his fists. He was determined to pass the provincial exam and then participate in the imperial examinations. When the time came, he would be able to live together with Jiujiu.
Only when Jiujiu's figure could no longer be seen did Huang Yixiao turn and leave.
Because Jiujiu had spent some time shopping with Huang Yixiao, it was already dark by the time she arrived at the village entrance. Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua were waiting at the village entrance with worried expressions. After Jiujiu got off the cart, Chen Zhangsheng hurriedly carried all the things in his arms. Jiujiu carried the snacks she bought and walked in front of Ma Juhua. Only then did she see Li Qiuyue.
Jiujiu didn't expect that Li Qiuyue would also be waiting for her here. After being stunned for a moment, she said with surprise, "Mother, why are you also here?"
Li Qiuyue's gentle face revealed a gentle smile and said softly, "I have nothing to do at home, so I came with your parents to wait for you."
Jiujiu blinked her eyes, feeling touched. Seeing that Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua had already carried the things in their arms, she pushed Li Qiuyue back home.
Although the weather was warm now, it was still a little cold at night. Li Qiu Yue's body was finally getting better, it would be bad if she caught a cold.
Because she was anxious, Jiujiu couldn't help but quicken her pace. When she reached home, she hurriedly pushed Li Qiuyue into the room and made the bed. When Ma Juhua came back, she would help Li Qiuyue onto the bed.
Looking at Jiujiu's busy appearance, Li Qiuyue's face couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.
Now, Huang Yixiao had married a wife, and Jiujiu was such a good person. She wiped and massaged her body on a daily basis, and even cooked for her every day. Even if she was a biological daughter, she might not be able to sit at the same level as Jiujiu.
For the first time, Li Qiuyue was glad that Huang Yixiao had married a little later, otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to meet such a good girl like Jiujiu?
After Ma Juhua came back, she helped Jiujiu help Li Qiuyue onto the bed, while Chen Zhangsheng came back with a pile of cloth. Putting the cloth on the table, Chen Zhangsheng looked at the pile of dark-colored cloth, his eyebrows knitted together. With a face full of displeasure, he said, "This child, why did you go out and buy things for us, but not for yourself?"
Jiujiu bought a total of four bolts of cloth, except for Huang Yixiao's black cotton cloth, the rest were dark-colored. At a glance, it was obvious that she bought it for the three of them. Some time ago, when Jiujiu got married, they bought new clothes. Now that Jiujiu bought it again, Chen Zhangsheng was a little unhappy.
It was fine if she bought it for Li Qiuyue, after all, she was Jiujiu's mother-in-law. But he and Ma Juhua just bought new clothes, how could she buy it again? Wasn't this a waste of money?
As early as when they bought the cloth, Jiujiu knew that Chen Zhangsheng would say this, so she immediately said the reason she had already thought of.
"Father, what are you saying? You and mother have worked hard all your lives. Now that my husband and I have money, we naturally have to buy some good things to show our filial piety to you. It's a pity that we don't have money right now, so we can only buy cotton cloth. When my husband finishes high school, we will definitely buy silk and satin for father and mother to wear. You and mother will definitely look better wearing silk and satin than Aunt Li. "
Hearing Jiujiu's wording, Chen Zhangsheng's words were stuck in his throat.
Jiujiu said that Huang Yixiao wanted to show filial piety to them, so it wasn't good to refuse, but it also wasn't good to refuse. Chen Zhangsheng's lips moved.
Li Qiuyue looked at Chen Zhangsheng who was in a dilemma and smiled in agreement with Jiujiu: "Since it's the young couple's kind intentions, let's accept it."
Since Li Qiuyue had already spoken, Chen Zhangsheng could only accept the cloth.
In the next few days, other than gathering pigweed, cooking, and massaging Li Qiuyue, Jiujiu had been sewing new clothes for Huang Yixiao at home.
Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua had nothing to do and talked with Li Qiuyue, so their days could be considered peaceful.
Every time Huang Yixiao had a holiday, he would take his bow and arrows to the mountains like before. Every time he went out, he would hunt a lot of game. The game meat would be kept for himself, or he would ask Huang Dashan to sell it. As for the furs, he would keep them for himself, and when they accumulated, he would bring them out to sell again. Just like this, he could earn more than ten taels.
Perhaps for a rich family, ten taels wasn't a lot, but for people like Chen Zhangsheng and Ma Juhua who had been honest farmers their whole lives, ten taels was a lot.
Now that Huang Yixiao not only had a bright future, but also knew how to make money, Chen Zhangsheng was even more satisfied with Huang Yixiao.
Because the family was rich, Chen Zhangsheng was also willing to build a few more rooms, leaving one room for Huang Yixiao to use as a study, and the other rooms were for the children.
Now that the family was rich, Huang Yixiao was promising, and Jiujiu was extremely filial, the three elders began to talk about children.
If only Jiujiu had children, how good would it be? Just thinking about the days when they could play with their grandchildren was very beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. Jiujiu also gave birth to her first child last year. Because he looked strong and strong, his nickname was Huzi. Now, he was eleven months old, and under Jiujiu's guidance, he could only walk unsteadily.
Because of Huzi, Chen Zhangsheng and the other two who liked to go out didn't go out anymore. Every day, when they had nothing to do, they would watch Huzi walk around and teach him how to call people. Huzi calling them grandfather and grandmother would make them happy for the whole day. Jiujiu was also happy to see this and went to the room to prepare for Huang Yixiao's entrance exam in a few days.
During last year's provincial examination, Huang Yixiao once again passed with first place in the provincial examination. Xiao Chunhua kept saying that Li Fugui was a literary star who had descended to the mortal world, but in the end, Li Fugui failed. Moreover, not only did he fail, even the teacher was especially pessimistic about Li Fugui, even asserting that Li Fugui would never be able to pass the provincial examination.
When the teacher said this, Xiao Chunhua was so angry that she choked. She had always felt that Li Fugui was a literary star who had descended to the mortal world. Now that the teacher said that he was useless, it was simply infuriating. However, in the surrounding villages, there was only one teacher who was of virtue and prestige. For the sake of Li Fugui's future learning, not only could Xiao Chunhua not lose her temper, she had to swallow her anger and apologize to the teacher so that the teacher could continue to teach Li Fugui.
