Chapter 64: Xu's Family Goes Shopping

  With the great idea of enriching oneself before enriching others, Osmanthus decided to put the discovery of coal on hold for now and think about how to use it later.

  Days passed one by one, and before long, it was Chu Zhenghai's birthday.

  Ming Luo Li's June 28th is the birthday of Chu Zhenghai, and according to legend, Chu Zhenghai is only 57 years old, so it doesn't need to be a big deal. However, because of the division of the family property, Chu Zhenghai has asked outsiders to make this year's birthday a grand one. Not to mention others, just the village head, elder, and those with prestige in the village will definitely be invited.

  So the Chu family started preparing for Shou Chen's birthday on June 26th.

  Xu Shi, who had never left Xiquhe Village for many years, surprisingly volunteered to go to the town to buy goods this time. Apart from Chu Liguang and Chu Lixin, whom she had ordered to carry her luggage, she only brought Chu Liwan along with her.

  Mo thought that since Chu Lishou was going to the town, he would let him bring some things back, so it would save them from having to go to the town again when they divided the family property. It would save time and also save the round-trip bus fare.

  However, such a proposal was vetoed by Gui Hua.

  To put it simply, if Chuli Guard took the silver money and followed Xu Shi to the town together, Xu Shi wouldn't know any better. But if she found out, she would definitely try to take the money for herself. In that case, not only would they not get anything, but there's also a chance that Xu Shi would turn around and bite back. How could Osmanthus possibly let her parents do such a losing business?

  Mo nodded in agreement and decided to drop the matter.

  Xu brought others to hire a cattle cart, gave three copper plates to the owner, and set off towards the town. By dusk when they returned, Chu Lishou and Chu Lixin were nowhere to be seen on the cart. When asked, the driver said that there were too many things bought, so Xu let Chu Lishou and Chu Lixin walk back.

  This news really made Guihua and others angry, but they couldn't do anything about it.

  When the ox cart arrived home, Madam Xue was sitting on the ox cart, instructing everyone who would move what to where. The distribution was so meticulous that even her normally spoiled daughters, Chu Liwan and Chu Yanyi, didn't get away this time. One by one, they carried things into the house.

  Osmanthus flowers are small, can't move too heavy things, so the frequency of coming and going is also faster than others. What puzzles her is that Chu Liwan and Chu Yanyi, who have never worked before, seem to have no objection to working today, and their faces even show a hint of joy, as if they are very happy.

  Pay attention to what everyone is moving, and Osmanthus fragrans finally had a comparison: I'm afraid that each person's moving things are different, the final use is different, and the user is also different!

  It's said that there are many things, but in fact it's not like people can't even sit down.

  Xu bought nearly half a pig's meat, an entire pig head, two fish, three catties of rice, three catties of flour and a basket of red-skinned eggs.

  Apart from these foods, the Xu family also bought several colors of fabric. The colors of the fabric were deep and shallow, some were extremely bright. Those bright fabrics, no one was allowed to touch, they were all moved into the house by Chu Liwan.

  He bought food and clothes that were not too expensive. On the way back, he also bought pen, ink and paper. These things were naturally brought into his own room by Chu Yanyi.
