From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 8 Mother
Jiang Yao had just left, and Carpenter Xu, who had been sitting on the chair looking a little listless, stood up immediately.

Looking at the red envelope on the table next to him, his eyes were obviously brighter than before.

"After completing this business, I made a small profit."

"I can go buy some wine again. I just happen to have some peanuts at home. Tonight, I'm not going to stop until I'm drunk. I have to drink at least a pound of peanuts."

While talking to himself, Carpenter Xu happily grabbed the red envelope and opened it.

People in their line of work have many taboos.

After the work is done, he will accept whatever reward others give him, and he cannot argue with others over money.

Otherwise, the magic he knows will be completely ineffective.

In his early years, he was indeed a carpenter and his skills were quite good.

However, ever since his wife and son died in accidents one after another, he felt that there was not much hope in life, so he gave up this craft and began to abandon himself.

After giving up his carpentry skills, he relied on his little magic to make money to support himself.

Under normal circumstances, after he performed rituals for others, the red envelopes given to him by others would contain at least thirty-three yuan.

Of course, if he met a wealthy boss who was willing to give more, Carpenter Xu would not say much and would just happily accept it.

Although Carpenter Xu did not explicitly state this charging standard, it has long been an unspoken rule in private.

To be honest, thirty-three dollars is not a lot.

Those who know Carpenter Xu and have some understanding of him would definitely not argue with him about this matter if they really encountered something and needed his help.

Tong Gang was a young man, and when he told Jiang Yao about Carpenter Xu, he thought it was good to have a place to live.

As for Jiang Yao, after knowing that Carpenter Xu lived in Mawan Village, he did not ask the elders in the village, but rashly ran here directly.

He knows nothing about the unspoken rules here.

Carpenter Xu opened the red envelope with a smile on his face, but when he saw the banknotes inside, his face turned dark in an instant.

"What the hell, I spent so much effort to help him solve his problem, but this bastard only gave me 60 cents in the red envelope."

"If he dares to come to my house again next time, I will kick this bastard away..."

Carpenter Xu was cursing, and luckily there were no other houses nearby, otherwise, his cursing, which seemed like venting his anger, would definitely attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

When he was tired of scolding and his anger subsided a little, he picked up the bills and put them in his pocket.

"Isn't sixty cents a lot of money? At the village store, bulk wine is only two or three yuan per pound."

"Not to mention the extra money, it should be no problem to buy two taels of wine with this amount of money!"

Muttering to himself, Carpenter Xu half-closed the door and limped towards the village store.

……

After leaving Carpenter Xu, Jiang Yao rode his bicycle at a very fast speed.

A few hours ago, when he came here, he saw a cart on the road and was worried that he would collide with it.

There were bushes on the side of the road, and he was worried that a poisonous snake would suddenly emerge from it and bite him.

Now that the disaster has been resolved, his waist and legs no longer ache, and he can ride an old bicycle as cool as a luxury sports car.

I just don't know if he was doing this because he was worried that Carpenter Xu would chase him from behind with a carrying pole...

"When I have more money in the future, I will buy some good cigarettes and wine, and then come to see Carpenter Xu."

"Although he has a strange temper, he is not a bad person at heart."

"Although the money I gave was a little less, it didn't break the rules. I did my best. He might be dissatisfied, but at most he will just not do business with me next time."

While riding, Jiang Yao said to himself secretly.

He could imagine what Carpenter Xu's reaction would be after he opened the red envelope. Jiang Yao felt a little guilty about this.

However, if he did not do so, he would have to go back first and come back to find Carpenter Xu after he had collected enough money.

His buddies spend lavishly when they have money, but when they don't, it's common for them to go hungry for two meals in three days.

Ask them to borrow money? Jiang Yao felt it was not a good idea.

As for her mother, Yuan Xiuhua, most of the time, she could only earn a few dollars by pulling a cart and selling vegetables for a whole day.

Jiang Yao felt uncomfortable asking her for money and found it hard to bring himself to ask.

Besides, he was pressed for time, and every day of delay would increase the danger.

If he failed to ask Carpenter Xu to help him today, just the journey home from there would make him a little nervous.

Taking all these reasons into consideration, Jiang Yao could only be harsh and say sorry to Carpenter Xu.

After all, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, right?

It was just past nine o'clock in the evening when Jiang Yao, riding his bicycle, stopped in front of his house.

The lights were still on in the room. It was still early, and my mother Yuan Xiuhua should not have gone to bed yet.

"mom!"

While pushing open the door and moving the bicycle in, Jiang Yao greeted Yuan Xiuhua who was watching TV in the main room.

In the village, many people have already replaced their homes with large color TVs. The 12-inch black-and-white TV in his home was bought by Yuan Xiuhua from someone else, and it only cost him a hundred yuan.

"You came back so early today?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Yuan Xiuhua reacted.

She stood up immediately, took the bicycle that Jiang Yao was pushing, and parked it next to the main room.

"Your fishing gear is all at home. Didn't you go fishing tonight?"

"When I came back, the fire in the coal stove was out. When did you go out during the day? You probably haven't had dinner yet, right?"

"There's some food in the kitchen. I made it last night. If you're hungry, you don't even need to heat it up. You can eat it right away."

"Go outside every day and have fun, but don't do anything bad."

"You know that more than 20 guys older than you were captured in the village not long ago, and many of them were eaten like peanuts."

"There aren't many good guys hanging out outside all day long!"

……

Mothers all like to nag in front of their children, and Yuan Xiuhua is no exception.

Ever since Jiang Yao entered the room, she has basically never stopped talking.

Although Jiang Yao believed that he was a time traveler, since he had received all the memories of his previous life, it was impossible for him to have no feelings for his mother Yuan Xiuhua.

No matter whether what she told him was right or wrong, Jiang Yao just nodded repeatedly and didn't argue with her at all.

"Is there any food left? I'll go eat something first!"

"Mom, just watch your TV and ignore me."

It wasn't that Jiang Yao didn't want to listen to his mother's nagging and made excuses to leave, but he was really hungry and a little panicky.

After all, he had a bowl of noodles in the morning, and he didn't eat a single grain of rice for most of the day.

After greeting Yuan Xiuhua, he strode towards the kitchen.
