Chapter 25 Broken Rice
Qi Sanshun saw the three of them sitting on the bare kang, without even a kang table, just holding bowls and planning to have breakfast.The little guy couldn't help but froze, as if he didn't know what to do next.

Ye Xinyan put down the bowl, smiled and said to him: "It's Sanshun, we're already boiled, so we won't go over to eat. Remember to tell your uncle that my second grandfather and I will go to the county to buy some household food later. If you come back late at noon, please don't worry about grandpa."

Qi Younian greeted Sanshun and said, "Has Sanshun had breakfast? Second Grandpa's bowl hasn't been touched yet, so you can drink some mush from Second Grandpa's bowl first."

There are only three bowls for the road at home. Fortunately, they have just served them and haven't started eating yet.Otherwise, it's really embarrassing, and I'm embarrassed to let people eat.

Sanshun quickly waved his hands: "No, no, our family is still drunk, I'll go back and eat. My grandfather is still waiting." After speaking, he ran away.

The second grandpa's family is too poor, he has nothing, not even a nest, how can he be full with only wild vegetables?
Ye Xinyan watched Sanshun run away, and said with a smile, "It's better to have relatives thinking about it."

Qi Younian was also relieved that he finally returned home.Although I have been away from home for so many years, and now I have returned rashly, the feeling of being in my hometown still makes people feel at ease and warm.Yesterday, the three brothers had already discussed that after the busy farm work for the past few days, the three of them would go to pay respects to their parents' graves and tell them that his unfilial son had returned.

Ye Xinyan was drowsy, thinking of her uncle's dissatisfaction with her fourth aunt yesterday, and asked casually, "Grandpa, yesterday my uncle seemed to be dissatisfied with my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt. Do you know why?"

"It didn't look right to me yesterday. Since your uncle didn't mention it, I didn't ask too much. Let's look at it later. If it's something on the surface, maybe you can know it without asking."

Qi Younian also saw that the elder brother was dissatisfied with the third brother and the nephew of the third room, but he just came back. If the elder brother didn't say anything, he naturally didn't want to ask more, and he really didn't know the reason.

I was in a hurry yesterday, only two rooms were cleaned up, and the yard was still messy.After breakfast, Nanny Jin was left to clean up the yard, Qi Younian drove the donkey cart, and went to the county town with Ye Xinyan to buy daily necessities for the family.

Qingyuan County is not a small county town. Qi Younian drove a donkey cart and walked for more than an hour. When he arrived at the county town, the county market was already bustling with people coming and going.

Although it is not very convenient to walk with a donkey cart, you are not afraid of losing your shopping.

Ye Xinyan faced the seller's eyes, and was not afraid of death, and listed the prices of the items that needed to be bought.In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought all the things he planned to buy in the first batch.

As she took out the money, she muttered distressedly: "I think the things we have in Miyi County are all good, so we only sold them for a few dollars. Now it costs dozens of times to buy them again."

Qi Younian followed her amusedly without persuading her. He just watched her stingy and bargaining with others, and he knew a little more about his granddaughter in his heart.

Ordinarily, Ye Zi was born as the eldest daughter of a rich family, and just by seeing her ex-husband whom she met on the road, she knew that her family should be regarded as a rich family.When things happen on weekdays, it can be seen that Ye Zi really has the demeanor of everyone, but the petty air she shows sometimes is really not like a woman who grew up living a luxurious life.

Pots, bowls, ladles, bathing utensils, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice noodles, vegetables, and cotton and lining for three more beddings cost more than six taels of silver.

Ye Xinyan helped Qi Younian tie up the things he bought on the car, and said happily, "It's okay, it didn't cost too much money."

When Qi Younian heard it, he smiled and said, "It's more than six taels of silver, not much. Seeing the way you gritted your teeth when you bought things, I thought you might be heartbroken when you settled the account. I didn't expect that you would be so sad all of a sudden. After thinking about it, I actually said that the money didn't cost too much."

Ye Xinyan blinked, "I, did you gnash your teeth while shopping?" No way, it's embarrassing to look like that.

Qi Younian thought it was funny, "Why not? He also muttered that the businessmen are black-hearted, and the things they sell are so expensive."

"Well... I've bought things in an unscrupulous manner. How do I know what the market is like? I thought it would cost us a lot of money to buy so many things."

Ye Xinyan was very embarrassed, she just subconsciously felt that she was poor and had no security.In fact, there is no concept when spending money. You must know that the money that must be spent cannot be saved.

Qi Younian put a small bag of broken rice on the car, and asked in surprise, "What do you buy this for? Although it's broken rice, it's much more expensive than mixed noodles, and the cooked rice isn't very good. Do you want to drink white rice?" Porridge, and you can’t bear to buy regular white rice?”

It seems that Qi Younian is still living a good life. If you are an ordinary poor family, how can you know the difference between the taste of broken rice and regular white rice.

"What did grandpa say? I'm not so greedy." Ye Xinyan rolled her eyes at Qi Younian in disgust, and then whispered, "I thought of a snack, let's try it with these broken rice, if it tastes good, I think we can set up a stall in the county town to buy breakfast."

She was so quiet not because she was petty, but because she was really afraid of being heard that broken rice can be used for food. What if the price of broken rice rises?
Qi Younian bought the broken rice after watching Ye Xinyan bargain with the shopkeeper of the rice shop.This broken rice is left over from the bottom of the warehouse, and it is really broken.Such things, the poor despise it as expensive, but the rich don't look at it at all. No one is willing to spend money to sell and eat things made with it.

Ye Zi of his family gritted his teeth and disliked the expensive things sold by others, but mysteriously bought a small stone mill.Grinding and chirping at the place where people sell stone mills, I just found this smallest stone mill in the corner and bought it.

Such a small stone mill looks like a decoration, and I don't know what she is going to use it for.

Qi Younian didn't want to hit his granddaughter, he just thought in his heart that when the family settled down, he would take on the job of a mason in the town.I have good craftsmanship, as long as I work hard, I can always support a family of three. If I save a little, it is also possible to save more dowry for Ye Zi.

The purchase plan is quite satisfactory, and I didn't spend too much money.When Ye Xinyan was happy, she bought a few sesame seed cakes from the sesame seed cake stand in the market, and planned to eat them together with vegetable batter at home.

It was too late to drive back to the village in a donkey cart, and there were seven or eight children running wildly at the entrance of the village.There is nothing new in the village. The return of the second child of the Qi family who ran away in the early years, even if it is a major event in the village, the children naturally know about it.

At this time, seeing the unfamiliar donkey cart and the two people on it, the children thought it was strange, and laughed along with the donkey cart.

Qi Younian slowed down the speed of the donkey cart, yelled at the donkey all the way with a smile on his face, and told the children to be careful not to fall down.

Looking up again, I saw a three or four-year-old child on the trail not far away, dragging a backpack, looking around while walking, and suddenly took a few steps to the side, waving a shovel, Shovel something into the pannier.
