Chapter 170 Being Poor

However, although the black ash all over her body was removed by her dear Monkey King's magic, she still had a psychological problem. She felt dirty even if she didn't take a shower. She quickly got up and said, "I have to take a shower."

It's already dawn, and my eldest cousin should be having morning classes at home. What kind of bath should I take?

Even if you take a shower, you can't clean it up with just one of my spells, right?

What's wrong with Xiaoxun? You're so picky!

Brother Monkey stopped her: "You are now in the Qi Refining Realm. Although you can't learn the powerful attack spells, it's mainly because you don't have enough spiritual energy. But you can already learn the Dust Cleaning Technique, Fireball Technique, and Water Diversion Technique. I'll teach you first." you."

As soon as Qixun heard about learning magic, he immediately got excited. Brother Monkey first taught him the dust-clearing technique. When Qixun started practicing, Brother Monkey went to the front yard.

As expected, the eldest cousin was listening to his mother's lecture. Lingyu was listening and Lingsu was reading a medical book.

Seeing this, Brother Monkey didn't bother him and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Mother and the others also practice cultivation when they get up early every day and try to attract spirits, but they have not yet attracted spirits into their bodies, so they still have to sleep every day.

Probably because the two brothers and sister were practicing, they were not asked to come over for morning classes.

Morning classes must not be missed, but the first ray of sunshine in the morning contains the purple energy of heaven and earth. At this time, practicing the Innate Star Technique will get twice the result with half the effort. Brother Hou thought, it seems that he and Xiao Xun's morning class time will have to be adjusted in the future.

By the time Brother Monkey made breakfast, Lingzhou's classes were over.

Brother Monkey simply served breakfast and took it to the main room to greet everyone to eat first, then shouted into the backyard.

Qi Xun has extraordinary understanding. He succeeded in a dust-clearing technique after trying it twice. He was having fun at the moment.

The shed at the back was cleaned by her using the dust-cleaning technique.

After hearing Brother Hou tell her to have breakfast, Qixun hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash up first. When she entered the main room, Meiniang and her brothers and sisters had already started.

The weather was cold, so Brother Monkey cooked spicy soup in the morning, made two pots of egg pancakes, fried two plates of pot stickers that had been stored in the space, and served them with sour radish, which was appetizing and warming.

Lingzhou smiled and said: "Fortunately, I have learned some boxing and kicking from Brother Hao recently and practice every day, otherwise I would have gained weight."

The food at his second aunt's house was so delicious that he couldn't help but eat too much.

Gongyu Mingxi smiled and said: "Young man, when you are growing up, how can you gain weight? Eat more if you like, never go hungry. Just test the strength of the person, as long as the body is weak I can’t bear any of this.”

Lingzhou shook his head: "As long as our peasant students are not industrious, their health will not be so bad that they can't even cope with the scientific examination. By the way, the second aunt, the apprentices accepted by the third sister, I heard that you also teach them literacy, you If you are too busy, I can teach you."

Gongyu Mingxi waved his hand: "Don't delay your studies because of these things. If I am too busy, there will still be your fifth sister. Xiaowu has done enough to teach these children."

Lingzhou thought the same thing.

After breakfast, Lingzhou began to write the article assigned to him by Gong Yumingxi. Lingyu and Lingsu cleaned up the kitchen and thought about making two sets of clothes for Mr. Chen. The two sisters went to pick out the materials. After selecting, Lingsu cut them, while Lingyu helped.

Qixun had to practice his sword skills every day, but he had been delayed for several days without lifting his sword, so he told Gong Yumingxi to go to the backyard to practice his sword skills.

Brother Monkey is going to brush up on his "Three-year College Entrance Examination and Five-Year Simulation".

While Gong Yumingxi was writing articles in Lingzhou, he also read the book Qixun took out from the space.

After Lingzhou finished writing the article and asked Gongyu Mingxi for guidance, he considered his homework for the day over and went home.

After Brother Monkey finished writing the questions, he saw that his sisters were all busy and that Mom was fascinated by the book she was reading. He collected the question books and made lunch.

Because the New Year's gift had to be prepared, Brother Monkey was sent by Gong Yumingxi to buy food in the town the next day.

In fact, there are many kinds of fine grains in the Qixun space, but they are all grains that contain a touch of spiritual energy. They are in good quality and are really not suitable for giving away. I can only eat it at home and give some to the old man for health.

On the Gongyu Mingxi side, people also began to plan New Year's gifts for relatives and friends.

Over there in the county town, the county magistrate has to give it away.

When Mr. Chen comes to celebrate the New Year at home, there is no need to prepare anything else, but shopkeeper Yi from Rendetang needs to send a copy. One is to thank him for taking care of Mr. Chen in the past. In addition, after the new year of Lingsu, he will have to go to Rendetang to study medicine with the old man every few days, and he will have to be looked after.

These two families have to give generous gifts that look respectable.

Then there is the fifth uncle's family in the county town. Although the second uncle is his only son and the family has not been separated, since he lives in the county town, he has to prepare another copy to send. This does not require surface polishing, but it must be affordable.

Then there are the respected elders in the village, such as the patriarch's family and Liu's patriarch's family, there are six or seven families in total.

There are also some close ones, such as the Zuo family.

Fortunately, there is no need to say goodbye to these. Eat snacks, candies and meat, and it will be very decent to have eight of them.

After drawing up the gift list, Gongyu Mingxi asked Lingsu and Lingyu to prepare it together.

Qixun, on the other hand, went to work on her handiwork in her studio in the back shed.

In the New Year, I will bring Mr. Chen over to celebrate the New Year. He can only live in Brother Monkey's house. Brother Monkey is not afraid of the cold, but the old man is not. There is no kang in the house, so he can only rely on charcoal for heating. To burn charcoal, ventilation is required. In fact, leaving Without any heating, it's fine during the day, but not at night.

Qixun just wanted to get a fireplace and use it as a makeshift.

She is currently drawing the drawings of the fireplace. After the design is completed, she has to go to the blacksmith shop in the county to have it made hastily. She is quite pressed for time.

Halfway through the painting, Qi Xun slapped his forehead.

She already has a fireplace in her space, why would she need a blacksmith shop?

The fireplace was made of steel and was painted with black paint. No one could tell the material without looking carefully. At most, they thought it was made of iron, so it was useless to use it.

It would be better to install one in the main room. From now on, they read and write in the main room, which is also warmer.

Qixun quickly took out two fireplaces, thinking that when his second brother came back, he would ask him to get a flue and install them.

This is when the benefits of being a hoarder come to light.

Qixun was a little proud, feeling that the things he collected in his previous life were finally useful.

The money she spent in her previous life was not in vain.

All kinds of trivial matters before the New Year, gifts from each family are sent out, all the New Year's goods are prepared, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. It's the end of the year, and the New Year is only two days away.

Gong Yumingxi sent Brother Monkey to the county town to pick up Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen and Jinu brought a lot of things in large and small bags.

When Gong Yumingxi welcomed the old man into the house, he complained: "Why did you bring all these things?"

Mr. Chen smiled and waved his hands: "Where did I prepare it? They are all from Rendetang every year, for me to use for the New Year. I'm here, why are those things left in the house? They will break down over time. , it would be a waste if you don’t bring it.”
