Rebirth of farming for a living

Mrs. Wang settled Li Xiangnan, rolled out her wheelbarrow, took a sickle, and went out with her two children.

Walking to the patch of honeysuckle that Li Qiuyan mentioned, there was a whole field of honeysuckle flowers, yellow and white, which were really beautiful. Wang said: "This is the second flower. There are many of them in the mountains over your grandpa's side. I don't know." It's a medicinal material. This branch can live when inserted into the ground." As he spoke, the movements of his hands kept moving. In this way, the three of them worked together to pick a cart full of honeysuckle and cut some honeysuckle branches. I plan to plant some in the backyard.

Watching the sky slowly getting dark, Wang found some more dry firewood, put it on the wheelbarrow and went home.

Someone said hello on the road, and they used the excuse of cutting firewood to get by.

After working hard all afternoon, everyone was hungry. Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her children and arranged for Awang to pour water for Li Xiangnan. Li Qiuyan cooked the food and silently pushed the cart to the backyard. She planned to spread it out in the backyard and dry it in a place where it was not convenient for others to see. Dry in shade.I picked up an open space and inserted a few honeysuckle branches.

Li Qiuyan went to the kitchen and looked through it. She still only had cornmeal and a few eggs. She was a little helpless. The whole family was not in good health. They had worked hard for another day. If they couldn't keep up with the food, sooner or later something would happen.I thought that if Honeysuckle could do it tomorrow, there would be some progress.After being ruthless, I went to the vegetable field and cut a handful of leeks, washed and chopped them, beat the last three eggs, fried a leek scrambled egg, and cut two salted duck eggs.Then take out two pieces of mustard greens and cut them into thin strips, even if you want to put some sesame oil on them.I cooked a thick corn paste and kneaded a few corn pancakes.It's so pitiful that the bag of flour is completely gone.

When he saw the food on the kang table, Li Xiangnan was shocked. "My daughter, this is too much for us." Li Xiangnan joked with a smile. "Don't be such a talker, my dear, you've been tired all day, and you're still sick. How can you not eat better now?" Wang glared at Li Xiangnan, then poured some scrambled eggs with leeks and put them into the bowls of the three of them, but she only added shredded mustard greens. Clip on.Li Qiuyan saw his father's sarcasm and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Mom, you eat too, and our life will eventually get better and better." "That's right, that's right." Awang also clapped his hands.Li Xiangnan and Wang looked at each other and smiled.It was a pleasant meal.

The next morning, Li Qiuyan saw that the honeysuckle in the backyard was almost dry, and hurriedly called Mrs. Wang to come over and take a look. Mrs. Wang took a big basket but didn't even put it in, so she took another small basket.This time, the two did not take Awang with them, and arranged for Awang to stay with Li Xiangnan at home.Li Qiuyan promised to buy delicious food for Awang and was able to escape.

After arriving at the drug store, shopkeeper Mao was very enthusiastic and weighed the dried honeysuckle. It weighed more than five kilograms. According to the agreed price of fifty cash per kilogram, he rounded up the amount and gave him 280 cash.Just as he was about to hand it to Wang, Li Qiuyan took it first.Wang smiled: "Our daughter is now the head of the family." Li Qiuyan originally wondered if Wang would have any objections, but he still had many things he wanted to do. If the money was not in his hands, he would feel very passive.Unexpectedly, Wang said this, and a warm current passed through his heart.

After leaving the store, it was time for lunch. Li Qiuyan pulled Wang to eat wontons, but Wang refused with a smile. "Let's buy some white flour and make dumplings at home. A bowl of wontons is enough for a pound of white flour." Li Qiuyan couldn't resist and obediently followed Wang to the grain and oil store.After buying five kilograms of white flour and weighing twenty kilograms of cornmeal, the total cost was 35 Wen. Li Qiuyan thought to himself that the purchasing power of copper plates in this era is still very good.

Go to a meat stall to buy meat. Lean meat costs eight cents per pound, and fat meat costs ten cents.People in this era are short of fat and water, so Li Qiuyan was too embarrassed to buy all lean meat, so he weighed two pounds of fat meat and one pound of lean meat.I saw a big stick bone next to me and asked the price. It only cost two cents per catty. I ordered two big stick bones, which weighed six kilograms. The boss only charged ten cents.Mrs. Wang thought the big bone had no meat, so she said it would be better to buy some fat meat.Li Qiuyan said that drinking bone soup would be good for leg recovery, but Wang said nothing more.

The shopping was almost done and Wang wanted to go home. Li Qiuyan pulled Wang into the grocery store again.We weighed two kilograms of brown sugar and asked for a porcelain jar.I bought salt and autumn oil again.Regardless of Wang's objections, he chose a piece of soap for her to use for hand washing. The unscented one cost eight cents, and the scented one cost ten cents. Li Qiuyan insisted on choosing the jasmine-scented one.

Seeing that it was getting late and Wang was unwilling to eat outside, Li Qiuyan went to buy four more meatloaf, planning to go home and make dumplings to eat in the evening.

Seeing people from Wangjia'ao at the city gate, Wang asked someone to tell them so that Uncle Li Qiuyan would have time to come.

Only then can I go home with peace of mind.
