Category: After the Twin Husbands Swapped Lives

　　This time, Lu Liu didn’t go along. They needed to carry goods in the cart—freshly harvested mountain produce from home, plus a sheep and five pheasants Wang Meng had hunted. Once they reached Lujiatun, they’d also pick up Father. 　　Both fathers might be heading to the county seat. Since they rarely ventured out, and his…

　Zhang Tie wanted to stay and help out at the shop; they could always use an extra pair of hands. Lu Lin made a mental note. “After we’re done cooking, we’ll split the profits,” he said. It was like the family was doing contract work. Two hundred pounds of flour wouldn’t bring much profit, but…

Lu Yang: ? “What are you doing?” Lu Liu stared intently into the pot, careful not to overcook the fried tofu puffs. He slowly stirred and flipped them with long chopsticks, replying earnestly, “Frying tofu puffs to eat.” Lu Yang leaned closer to the stove to look. Indeed, just those few pieces. It looked so…

　　Lu Yang listened and sent Lu Lin out to buy sauces: “Brother Lin, I’m sorry to trouble you, but please buy two pounds each of the sauces priced at five cash per pound, eight cash per pound, twelve cash per pound, and fifteen cash per pound.” 　　Braising sauce was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and salt costs…

Xie Yan said, “I won’t be a teacher anymore.” This doesn’t make any money. Lu Yang was momentarily speechless. How to put it? He had hoped Wu Pingzhi would teach Xie Yan something, but how could he teach him to be so mercenary? He measured the work of teaching and educating by silver coins. Lu…

　　Zhang Tie kneaded the dough, and she neatly shaped it into balls. Whenever she had free time, she’d practice wrapping dumplings. When Lu Yang went to the kitchen, Zhang Tie took over watching the shop. Zhao Peilan noticed Lu Yang’s face was deathly pale and asked him, “Are you lost in thought again?” 　　Lu Yang…

　　Given the demand for vegetables from the surrounding neighbors, the eggs shouldn’t go bad. Spring is here, and it’s time to dig for bamboo shoots again. Have my younger brother harvest plenty of them. He won’t complain about the small amount of vegetables. When the time comes, he’ll proactively contact the restaurants and inns in…

　With Wang Dongmei setting an example before him, Lu Liu felt his face flush as he spoke of these matters. His brother was genuinely ill, and Li Feng knew it. But the way he talked about it sounded like he was scheming to subsidize his wife’s family. 　　Chen Guizhi urged him to take it, saying,…

Regular partners require consistent labor and effort at home. When it comes time to build the workshop, we’ll need silver too. This matter requires careful discussion. Lu Liu blinked, saw him off, then lowered her gaze in thought, sensing something was off. 　　He headed outside, found Li Feng in the small shop, and pulled him…

Lu Liu had mentioned earlier that she’d make soup noodles. The broth was savory—Li Feng would love it. Now he discovered that wild mushrooms were equally delicious, and Li Feng liked them even more. And sure enough, Li Feng also adored savory, sauce-flavored dishes—perfect with rice. With the mushroom sauce, Li Feng no longer touched…

Chen Guizhi nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, he’s a clever one.” Lu Liu nearly cried with emotion. Mother praised him for being clever! The sauce in the kitchen still needed watching, or Er Tian would mess it up. He’d sat outside long enough, so he returned to the kitchen with a smile. Li Feng chatted with…

Chen Guizhi nodded. “As long as you know what you’re doing.” Lu Liu instantly perked up. Mother didn’t want Er Tian and the others working either! When sorting the mountain produce, they placed large round winnowing baskets on wooden stools. Bag after bag of goods was emptied into the baskets. People sat around the baskets,…

After eating a few times, they started thinking about it and came to support the business. They couldn’t help but support it—there was only so much in the bowl, and it wouldn’t be right to just sit down and eat at their place. Lu Liu and Shun Ge were shy. They kept talking, and before…

Wu Pingzhi glanced around, letting Xie Yan take the spotlight. The kid rarely got a chance to show off in front of his husband, and now he was practically walking on air.   Wu Pingzhi flattered Xie Yan with his words: “His language was venomous today, shattering their literary hearts. We must strike while the…

　　The leader was Yuan Ji, who had also brought up the topic of filial piety and character yesterday. Xie Yan couldn’t swallow his pride and was thinking about how to get even with someone. Yuan Ji brought people with him, which suited Xie Yan just fine. He first bowed to the instructors and returned the…

They rarely steam rice in the morning here. Lu Yang hasn’t been eating well lately, and he doesn’t know if the pills will make him feel bloated. Taking advantage of the fact that he doesn’t have to take his medicine today, Xie Yan washes the rice and steams it for him. He also stir-fries a…

When he mentioned this incident, he expressed genuine anger and shame. Lu Yang hugged him and asked, “Why did it suddenly escalate to the instructor? Who bullied you?” Xie Yan did not mention bullying, only rules. “After passing the county-level examination, students are assigned to either the prefectural or county school for further study. At…

Lu Yang smiled and said, “If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again.” Lu Lin thought the same way. He would wait for fate to take its course. He wasn’t going to look for her anyway. What kind of good relative is this? They hadn’t been in touch for so many years, and the other…

Xie Yan really wanted to go back. Wu Pingzhi was speechless and hurriedly looked around the house, muttering to him about what things needed to be added. Xie Yan listened with both ears open, but did not hear. He thought that it was better if there were not enough things, so that he could go…

Xie Yan said, “I was just playing around to see you.” Lu Yang was pleased, but said, “Go to school first, and we’ll talk about it later.” Xie Yan could tell from Lu Yang’s tone that he was softening. There was room for negotiation. He kissed Lu Yang on the cheek and said, “I saw…
