Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 210 God rewards those who work hard
Huang Hao looked at the fireplace again and again. He was wearing warm clothes and sat close to it. He was sweating from the heat but was reluctant to leave.

If Xiao Huai hadn't been there to remind him that the fireplace was hot and shouldn't be touched, he would have reached out to touch it long ago.

The first time he came back, he saw the fireplace and was extremely curious about it. Because when he first came back to thank her, he just refrained from asking and didn't get closer to take a closer look.

Later, when I visited again, I had important matters to attend to and didn't pay attention to the fireplace.

God knows, he had been thinking about the fireplace in Doctor Wei's room for a long time. Jasmine had seen it and told him about it in detail when she got home, but hearing about it was not as clear as seeing it with your own eyes.

"It's warm! With this fireplace, the room is really warm." Huang Hao was amazed. "Whoever came up with this fireplace is really talented."

"Well, he is indeed a capable person." Xiao Huai nodded in agreement.

The fireplace was built by him and his eldest brother under the guidance of his eldest sister-in-law. His eldest sister-in-law was a capable person, and the three siblings had known about it for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Huai talking to Huang Hao, Li Zi felt that she should also talk to Zhang Saozi. However, Zhang Saozi was so focused on her homework that she felt embarrassed to interrupt.

Looking at the math problems with correct answers on the notebook, Zhang Moli was surprised and shocked.

Glancing at the textbooks in front of her, Zhang Moli asked, "Xiao Li, what grade of elementary school textbooks are you and Xiao Huai studying now?"

"I have reached the first semester of the third grade, while Xiao Huai has already reached the second semester of the third grade." Li Zi is an honest child. She has known since childhood that she is not as smart as Xiao Huai.

She never envied Xiao Huai, but instead treated Xiao Huai as a support.

"You're so amazing!" Zhang Moli remembered that Xiaoli and Xiaohuai were in the second grade when they dropped out. They had to go back to their textbooks and study the second-grade courses again.

Qiuyi told her about Xiaoli and Xiaohuai going to school. It had only been a little over half a month since they finished their second-grade textbooks and started studying their third-grade textbooks.

Li Zi's face flushed with shame when she was suddenly praised by an outsider. She choked and said, "Sister Zhang, it's Xiao Huai who's amazing. I'm not amazing."

"How can you not be great? Your efforts will naturally be rewarded. God rewards hard work, that's what I mean to you two." A clear and pleasant voice fell, and Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan walked in from the door.

In the backlight, the two looked like a perfect couple walking out of a painting.

The two of them didn't go to the fireplace, but walked directly to the large square table and stood there. Tao Qiuyi turned around and called out to Zhang Moli and Huang Hao, "Moli, Comrade Huang Hao, come over here and have some tea."

Zhang Moli and Huang Hao both responded and walked towards the table.

Xiao Huai and Li Zi stood there, waiting for their sister-in-law to give them instructions. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before the instructions came.

Tao Qiuyi finished a cup of herbal tea before looking at the two of them and saying, "Young men, you've had enough time to study today. You're allowed to go to the kitchen and play, and prepare dinner for tonight."

Li Zi and Xiao Huai responded in unison, then walked to the door, took down their cotton-padded jackets hanging behind the door, put them on, and walked outside.

Tao Qiuyi was very satisfied with the two teenagers' self-awareness, and drank another half cup of herbal tea that Wei Jingyuan had refilled for her.

Zhang Moli and Huang Hao came over and sat down, cups of herbal tea in their hands. Feeling incredibly uneasy, the couple didn't know what to say for a moment.

After pouring four cups of herbal tea, Wei Jingyuan sat down next to Tao Qiuyi naturally.

Putting down the bamboo water cup, Tao Qiuyi looked at the anxious Zhang Moli and her husband. He spoke first, "If you two came here today to ask if I bought the medicine, I can only say I bought half of it." "For the remaining herbs, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to look for them. If they're not even there, I'll look in Old Jiang's thatched cottage."

When they heard that not all the herbs were bought, Zhang Moli and Huang Hao's hearts instantly hung in the air, and worried expressions appeared on their faces.

Zhang Moli asked nervously and worriedly, "Sister Qiuyi, the herbs used to treat asthma are very valuable. Is it difficult to collect them?"

"It's not a particularly expensive medicine, nor is it difficult to collect." Tao Qiuyi sighed, "It's just that there are very few herbs in the pharmacy in town. It's pitifully small."

The herbal medicine shop in the town today opened her eyes and overturned her understanding of Chinese medicine shops.

As long as it’s not a very expensive medicine, Zhang Moli and Huang Hao’s hearts both fell.

Zhang Moli even suggested, "I'll go into the mountains with Qiuyi tomorrow to look for herbs. The two of us can look after each other."

"No, really." Tao Qiuyi refused flatly. She could come and go freely in the mountains by herself. Bringing Zhang Moli with her would not only make things difficult for each other, but also cause trouble for herself.

"Sister Qiuyi..." Zhang Moli wanted to fight for it, but was stopped by Huang Hao, "Moli, Comrade Tao doesn't want you to go to the mountains to find herbs. She has her reasons. Don't insist."

"But..." Zhang Moli wanted to say something, but Huang Hao stopped her. "Stop talking."

Huang Hao gently patted the back of Zhang Moli's hand and changed the subject, saying to Tao Qiuyi, "Comrade Tao, I went to two brick and tile factories in town today. They agreed to deliver bricks and tiles, and I paid a deposit of fifty yuan to each of them."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Tao Qiuyi thanked with a smile.

"You're welcome." Huang Hao shook his head. "Compared to Comrade Tao treating my asthma and going into the mountains to find herbs, I'm doing what I can, so it's nothing."

Tao Qiuyi disagreed with his statement. "That's not the case. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. The skills may be different, but the nature is the same. There is no distinction between high and low."

Huang Hao was once again shocked by Tao Qiuyi's words. These words were not something a country girl who had never read a single word of books could say, and his doubts grew.

Zhang Moli didn’t think too much about it, she just felt that what Tao Qiuyi said made sense.

"Have you ordered the river sand and cement?" Wei Jingyuan suddenly asked.

His thoughts were pulled back and Huang Hao gathered his thoughts.

"You can buy river sand in the next town, but buying cement is a bit troublesome." Huang Hao frowned and told Wei Jingyuan about his problem. "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, but they didn't have much cement, and they even needed a ticket."

"The people at the supply and marketing cooperative said that cement is distributed in fixed quantities and locations. Since there are few people in our town who buy cement, the amount of cement allocated to our town is even less."

Huang Hao is not the type to show off his abilities. He will do what he can do without hesitation. He will not force himself to do what he cannot do, and he will not make boasts to others.

"You can go..." Tao Qiuyi was about to say that they could go to the black market to have a look, but when she thought that Huang Hao and Zhang Moli were honest people, she decisively stopped talking.

Wei Jingyuan glanced at her, then his gaze fell on Huang Hao's face. "I'll figure out the cement. When will we go into the mountains to cut the trees for the roof beams?"

"In the next two days, my plan is to hire a few laborers to cut down the trees. If they are efficient, they can cut them down in one day." Huang Hao had already calculated it.
