Shi Qingluo guided Xiao Baili to prepare dinner.

She wasn't good at cooking, but she had the recipes and had tasted many of them.

Braised pork, home-style tofu, stewed pork ribs with radish, and scrambled eggs.

This was also the most sumptuous meal the Xiao family had ever had since their separation from their extended family.

It was also the best meal that Mother Xiao, Xiao Baili, and Xiao Erlang had ever had.

Mother Xiao looked at Shi Qingluo with a smile in her eyes as she ate.

Ever since her daughter-in-law married into the Xiao family, her son smiled more frequently and their family was becoming more prosperous.

How wonderful!

After eating, they took a short walk until the sky darkened.

Then, everyone went to bed.

Because the villagers were going to make tofu the next day, even Xiao Hanzheng did not stay up late to write his novel.

At two o'clock before dawn the next day, there was a knock on the door.

Mother Xiao, who had already woken up and washed up, opened the door and let in the villagers that the chief had selected to make tofu.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also dressed up and left the room.

Under the moonlight, everyone also saw Xiao Hanzheng walking out.

The chief's third son, Xiao Qingshan, looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "Dalang, how's your body?"

Xiao Hanzheng smiled at Xiao Qingshan. "It's almost healed."

He added, "All thanks to my wife."

This was the truth.

If it weren't for Shi Qingluo's fever medicine and the sugar water, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

In the ears of others, Shi Qingluo was blessed.

Not only did she wake Xiao Hanzheng up from her chongxi, she also healed his body.

As expected from the old immortal's disciple.


This boosted their confidence in the Xiao family's tofu business.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at them and said, "From today onwards, I'll have to trouble everyone to help make tofu in my house."

"Your daily wages are 10 wen and do not cover meal plans. You can go home for breakfast. After reaching the tofu quantity for the day, you can go home."

He paused and said, "Your salary will be given once every 10 days. Is that okay?"

The chief had told everyone about the salary before, and they were all very satisfied.

They had thought that they would receive monthly wages, but they didn't expect that they could receive their wages every 10 days.

This was an unexpected surprise.

"No problem, we can start working now."

Xiao Hanzheng brought them to the backyard and lit a few oil lamps that Shi Qingluo had specially purchased from the county town.

Shi Qingluo instructed everyone to start working while Xiao Hanzheng helped alongside.

The five people chosen by the chief, three men, and two women, were all hardworking.
