Chapter 54 -54 Thank-You Gift
Having practiced a set of boxing in front of the Bamboo Building, Luo Qiao also spent half an hour doing yoga in her room before she bathed in the downstream creek, arranged her hair, and began practicing embroidery, in which she had recently made some progress.
The next day, after Luo Qiao left the Spatial Warehouse, she heard the soft, pattering rain outside the house; on such a day, there was no need to go out to work.
So Luo Qiao decided to take advantage of the free time to make some snacks, as she had previously mentioned wanting to give something to Lu Yichen’s comrade at the Bureau of Education to show her appreciation.
After a simple breakfast, she decided to make some small twisted doughnuts with flavors of green onion, pepper and salt, and another batch that was sweet, promptly getting to work.
It was raining, so she did not open the main gate but went straight into the Spatial Warehouse. After bmaking the dough, she let it rest.
After walking around the mountain in the Spatial Warehouse, she noticed the rabbits were breeding really fast. She picked some Sichuan pepper leaves before heading back to the kitchen.
She kept busy for the whole morning in the Spatial Warehouse, making three small basins of twisted doughnuts. Thinking of the rabbits on the mountain, she took down two of the larger ones and made them into spicy dried rabbit meat. Looking at her achievements, she was indeed pleased.
She hadn’t taken the time to have a proper lunch, the smell of cooking oil filling the air all day had robbed her of any appetite, so she just boiled a pot of red bean porridge and made a few appetizing small dishes.
After eating, she divided her work, retaining a portion for herself, and dividing the rest into two parts—one for Lu Yichen and the other for his colleague at the Bureau of Education. It wasn’t much, but it was a token of her sentiment.
After all, if it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have been able to sort out her schooling issue so quickly.
After cleaning up the kitchen and spending some time reviewing her high school textbooks, Luo Qiao finally left the Spatial Warehouse. Looking at the courtyard, it seemed it had rained the entire day; the sky had already begun to darken.
Luo Qiao went into the kitchen to boil a pot of water. A day without smoke from the chimney wouldn’t do; someone might just start talking, and that would be trouble enough. Villagers lacked other forms of entertainment and spent their days minding other people’s business.
In the village, if your chimney didn’t smoke, it was a problem, and smoking too much was also a problem—there were always those busybodies with nothing better to do meddling around.
Once the water was boiled, Luo Qiao first filled the hot water flask and then poured the rest into a large basin, which she stored in the Spatial Warehouse to use for a bath after her exercises.
Luckily Luo Qiao had boiled a pot of water, because indeed someone had been watching her house—that was Li Xiulan’s family living south of the bridge. Li Xiulan had noticed at noon that there was no smoke coming from Luo Qiao’s chimney.
She joked with her daughter Gao Taohua, “It seems that the orphan girl from the Educated Youth’s home is having a hard time, not daring to even cook at home on a day off from work, bragging she can fend for herself, hmph!”
Feng Xiaojuan, her elder daughter-in-law, responded, “Luo Qiao gets seven work points almost every day now. Even if times are tough, it will only be for this half of the year. By the time of the autumn harvest she’ll be living the good life.”
Initially, Li Xiulan was displeased at her daughter-in-law’s rebuttal, but after pondering, she had to admit that the point was valid. Times were hard now, yet with mountain greens available, as long as one was diligent, starvation wasn’t a threat.
That girl gets seven work points a day, just one less than what the women get, and by autumn, she would indeed earn a fair share of grain. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.
So, come dinnertime, she paid extra attention to Luo Qiao’s chimney, only regretting that her view was limited to just the chimney from her distance, and she couldn’t see anything else.

After dinner, back inside her house, she spoke to her husband Gao Shunyi, “Dad, about our second son… ah no, he’s a bit too old for it. It’s our youngest son who would be suitable.”
