Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 6 Going to Town



Early in the morning, when Li Qiuyan woke up, everyone got up again.After she got dressed and went out, she saw her uncle next to the bullock cart: "Uncle, uncle, lend me the bullock cart." "Yanyan, what are you doing with the bullock cart, you little kid?" Uncle Before he could say anything, his grandfather, Old Wang Tou, came in from the door and said curiously.Li Qiuyan hurriedly told his grandfather that he wanted to pick honeysuckle. His grandfather looked at Li Qiuyan with a disapproving expression: "Yanyan, you are still young, don't think so much. Just stay at home and wait for your father." Well, life will get better." Li Qiuyan wanted to say more, and his uncle also said: "The honeysuckle is wild, there are as many as there are, don't worry about your livelihood, we will take care of it."

Although Li Qiuyan was not happy, he also understood that he was too young to persevere after all.Besides, I didn’t know if I could make any money, and the ox cart made too much noise, so I gave up.

After breakfast, grandpa and his family left.

Before leaving, regardless of Wang's refusal, he forced her to give her two strings of money. He also specifically told Li Qiuyan not to do anything dangerous and that they would come back in a few days.

Seeing Li Qiuyan's dejected look, Awang walked over at Wang's signal: "Sister, let's go play." Wang didn't know that Li Qiuyan wanted to go to the mountains to pick honeysuckle, but she felt that Li Qiuyan seemed happy after going out yesterday. A lot, I want her to go and relax again.

Li Qiuyan followed his instructions and picked up a backpack and took Awang out.

On the hillside, many people were hunting pigweed. Li Qiuyan couldn't bring himself to get up and walked in. As a result, he saw the patch of honeysuckle again while walking.I couldn't help myself, so I took Ngawang to pick. After a while, I picked a basket. Seeing that the sun was still early, I decided to take Ngawang to visit the town first.

Relying on vague memories, as well as the organ under the nose - the mouth, and carrying Ngawang, who was a dragster, he walked in and out, and the journey that was originally a quarter of an hour ended up taking more than two quarters of an hour.Fortunately, there were not many honeysuckles to pick, and the things were not heavy, so it was not too tiring.

When I found Deshengtang, it turned out that they were selling medicinal materials. The young man inside did not look down on the two young people and their shabby clothes, and their attitude was pretty good.It didn't take long before the shopkeeper was invited.

The shopkeeper, whose surname is Mao, has a round face and a friendly smile.After Li Qiuyan revealed that he had told Master Cui, shopkeeper Mao smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. He took it and weighed it at four and a half kilograms. One kilogram cost five cents, so he put it all together and gave 23 cents.For the sake of Master Cui's instructions, shopkeeper Mao kindly reminded: "Fresh honeysuckle is not easy to store. You can prepare it before sending it over. One kilogram of dried honeysuckle costs fifty cents."

Li Qiuyan was very surprised when she heard this. She also wanted to concoct it, but she was not sure whether it was Master Cui's temporary joke or whether she would really accept it. There was no way to concoct it.After getting the advice from shopkeeper Mao, she thanked her profusely.

After going out, Awang was very happy: "Sister, we really made money." "Yes, what does Awang want to eat? Sister's treat." Li Qiuyan pinched Awang's little face, and the child looked at it Malnutrition is really sad.

"Sister, I don't want to eat, let's go home." Awang was very sensible.

Just like this, Li Qiuyan became more and more intolerable: "It's okay, we can make a lot of money in the future, let's just have a meal today."

I saw a wonton stall nearby that was in full swing, I thought it must be delicious, so I asked about the price of [-] cents for a small bowl and [-] cents for a large bowl.The two of them ordered a big bowl. The meat was tender and the skin was smooth. They were covered in sweat while eating, and they were very happy.After eating and drinking, I ordered three meat pies from the meat pie stall nearby, wrapped them in paper bags and put them in my backpack.

After spending all this, I only had fourteen cents left from selling honeysuckle, and it seemed like I couldn't buy anything.But Li Qiuyan thought that since he came to town, he took Awang into the grocery store again.

The grocery store has a full range of products, but there is no white sugar, only brown sugar which is relatively crude and not expensive.Li Qiuyan wondered whether brown sugar could be used or whether it could be made into wine. He had too few copper coins and was reluctant to buy it.He spent another two cents to buy ten pine nut candies for Awang. The remaining copper coins were not allowed to be spent by Awang no matter what.Li Qiuyan thought that the future would be long, so he didn't persist.

The journey back was much faster. After arriving home, Li Qiuyan got into the kitchen and handed the meatloaf in the basket to Mrs. Wang.Wang opened her eyes wide and asked Li Qiuyan nervously where he got the money. He told the whole story in a few words, but Wang was doubtful.

"It's true, my sister also bought pine nut candy." Awang took out a piece of candy from his pocket and peeled off the wrapper, fed it to Wang's mouth, then fed another piece to Li Qiuyan, then ran to the kang and fed another piece to Li Xiangnan, and finally reluctantly He reluctantly took out a piece and ate it himself.Divided like this, there are only six pieces left.

"Mom, believe me, it's true." Li Qiuyan said seriously: "Dad is injured. I will work hard to make our family live a good life."

Mrs. Wang has candy in her mouth and moist eyes. A poor child has long been in charge. Li Qiuyan has grown up despite such changes at a young age.

"Mom, is the candy sweet? Sister said that when you make money in the future, you can give me better candy." Awang leaned over with a smile.

"Hey, sweet. It's the sweetest candy my mother has ever tasted." Wang wiped her tears and made up her mind.Then he said to Li Qiuyan: "After lunch, let's go see the honeysuckle together. If possible, transplant some to the backyard. Even if we can't sell them all, as you said, drinking it yourself is good for your health." Li Qiuyan was happy. Eyes wide open.

A delicious lunch.There were three meatloaf, one for each of his parents. Li Qiuyan and Awang were not hungry yet, and they were full after only eating half of them.

Seeing everyone working hard to make money, Li Xiangnan felt a little uncomfortable, feeling like he was lying on the bed like a waste.

"You, please rest in peace and recuperate. When you get better, there will be a lot of things for you to do." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

Li Xiangnan thought about it and let go of those thoughts, and only told Mrs. Wang to pay more attention to safety with her children.
