Hard times have room

Chapter 132
After drinking the water, Wang Jiandang bid farewell to Kuang Lao Liu and went on the road alone with a basket on his back.

Only an hour later, when the sun was about to completely sink, Wang Jiandang quietly walked back home with a basket on his back.

Now that she hasn't finished work, Paulin went to the back mountain. The only people who greeted Wang Jiandang at the entrance of the village were the sound of cicadas and birds.

He walked quite easily on this journey. Before that, he was sitting on the back seat of Kuang Laoliu's bicycle. The back basket was unloaded, and now it contained the more than 30 kilograms of things he bought, which was really nothing to him.

Wang Jiandang took out a key directly from under a large stone agreed at the door of the house.

"Bangdang", the wooden door opened in response.

After sitting and resting in the room, after relieving his breath, Wang Jiandang directly took the kitchen key from the room and went to the kitchen.

The keys to his house are usually carried by his wife and Pauline, but he is going out to run errands today, and they may not be at home when he returns, just in case he can't get in, he deliberately left the keys under this big rock.

Su Hongying and he had made an appointment to put the key of the door under the big stone at the door, and the key of the kitchen was also left under the corner of his table. When he came back, if Pauline was not at home, he could just take the key. Open the door and enter the house.

Now that no one else in the family is around, Wang Jiandang is not idle, so he just carried a bucket and went down the Daqing River to carry water for his vegetable field.

This is the precious land for their family of three, and they have to serve them every two or three days.

When Pauline came back, she saw that the door of her house had opened, and she knew that her father must have returned.

"Dad." Bao Lin searched the kitchen in the main room and the vegetable field in the back room, but couldn't find her father, but in the vegetable field, she saw that the ground was wet, so her father must be somewhere in Daqinghe now. Bring water back to irrigate the ground.

"Dad." Paulin went straight down the path in front of her house to the Daqing River. Sure enough, she saw her dad holding the house's gourd scoop and scooping water into the bucket.

Now that the water level of the Daqing River is getting lower and lower, the water in the Daqing River can only be filled with a bucket, and the remaining half of the bucket needs to be scooped with a gourd scoop to fill the bucket.

Paulin tried to walk directly to the middle of the Daqing River yesterday. It was the deepest part of the river, but the water there was only less than half of her calf.

"Pauline, you're back."

"Wait, don't come down, I'll be fine soon." Wang Jiandang stopped Paulin, who was holding his trouser legs and planning to go into the water.

"Okay, Dad, when did you come back?" Pauline asked curiously.

She originally thought that he should be back at three or four o'clock at the latest. After all, he went to the town to find the man named Kuang Lao Liu. The town is not very far, so he should be back before three or four o'clock!
"It didn't take long, just half an hour ago." Wang Jiandang replied without raising his head as he scooped up the water.

After speaking, Wang Jiandang thought of what he had packed and brought back, stopped his hand, stood up straight, and couldn't help but said to Paulin: "I brought back a lot of food, all of which were packed from restaurants in the city. Yes, in my backpack, you don't have to cook at night, we will eat this, and if it's not enough, then let's cook some wild vegetables."

Now the food is really too expensive, it is ten times the price of last year, it hurts to eat!If you have a good meal tonight, let's go with some wild vegetables!
These days, these potatoes have been the staple food of his family. If the potatoes are kept for a long time, they will sprout. Then it will be difficult to do it. Throw it away. I am reluctant. It’s a hassle to live, so it’s better to finish eating earlier. The other beans and grains in the family are still quite safe. As long as they are taken out for drying in a month, it’s easier to store them. Potatoes are strong.

"Dad, where did you put your things? Did you bring oil back?" Pauline asked impatiently.

The food was all packaged, and she didn't know what good things her father brought back, and whether there was any oil she wanted, whether it was vegetable oil or lard, she would never dislike it.

"The back basket is placed in the corner of the main room, and it is blocked by bamboo. You can find it yourself." At a critical moment, Wang Jiandang sold a small key.

"By the way, there are still a few packets of brown sugar in the back basket. You can take it and eat it yourself."

In Wang Jiandang's heart, this girl is still a child, how can a child not like candy!
"Hey, I get it." After saying this, Pauline couldn't wait to run back home to find her oil.

For her father's last sentence, Pauline was rather dumbfounded, but she wouldn't refuse. She would take a piece of brown sugar and soak it in the sugar water later.

As soon as Paulin came home and entered the main room, she saw the bamboo piled in the left corner at a glance, and when she opened the bamboo, she saw the basket that her father said.

Opened the burlap bag in the back basket, and found a bottle of oil inside. Pauline opened the lid and smelled it. It was a strong peanut smell, peanut oil.

That's great, she finally doesn't have to cook vegetables in water in the future, and occasionally she can make stir-fry dishes.

Carefully cover the oil bottle, stand beside her, and put it away.

Paulin's hand probed into the sack again, this time it was sugar, brown sugar, there were three packets in total, that is, three kilograms.

It seems that her father's price for dried squid this time should be very good.

Then her hand probed again, and the last thing in the sack fell into her hand. It was a lunch box or two. This should be the packaged meal that her father said!

Paulin directly brought the lunch box to the table, and couldn't wait to open it. One contained potato, chicken, fish, and fried pork with chili peppers. It was a full lunch box, which was very heavy.

Opening another lunch box, Paulin found that it contained fish head tofu soup. Fortunately, the lunch box was new and the seal was strong, so the soup didn't spill out, but the dishes were really rich!

Pauline then carefully covered the lunch box, put it on the table, and put everything she took out on the table.

She took a small piece of brown sugar from a bag of brown sugar. She planned to go to the kitchen to boil water, dissolve the brown sugar, add some shredded ginger to make a brown sugar ginger water, and wait for her mother to come back for her to drink.

They are a family of three. Don't look at Su Hongying as the strongest, but she is also the weakest. Now that she is still young, she doesn't look obvious. She must have a lot of problems when she is old, and it will be uncomfortable.

As for the potatoes at the bottom of the basket, Pauline didn't pay much attention to it. She just lifted the basket under the table and waited for her mother to come back from work to put things away.
