Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 16

On the way, Mrs. Li no longer had the excitement of earning money, "If this bean curd stick can continue to be sold, your father will not be allowed to go out to work. If you work hard during the slack season and come back to farm when the farm is busy, even a donkey will die of exhaustion. "

Shen Qingning also felt sorry for her father, and the rest of the family had also changed somewhat. Ever since Shen Dahe went to work in the county, Qingxiu silently made two more pairs of shoes for her father.

Shen Guan worked harder than before, and studied harder, this is because he was stimulated by seeing his father working too hard!
When he got home, Mrs. Li found all the soybeans in the house, and there were only a few dozen catties of them.

This can't be done a few times, even if the family grows more this year, it's too late to save the immediate emergency.

Uncle Li's house grows soybeans by himself, so we'll see if we can go to his house to borrow some soybeans first, and then return him after harvesting new beans.

It took the mother and daughter another half a day to pick out twenty catties of soybeans and soak them.

The next morning, Qingxiu washed her clothes in a hurry and ran home to help. Li Shi took Qingning to use all the buckets available at home, and went to Jiang Shi to get two.

Jiang Shi also came over, and put Xiao Miaoer by the wall to let the little guy play by himself, and she also started to help, but Li Shi couldn't persuade her, so she had to let her do some light work.

The four of us went much faster together than before, and the pot didn't stop until it was time to make dinner.

Jiang refused to leave the meal, and went back with her waist supported. She hadn't worked such a long time for many years, and she really couldn't bear it.

Looking at the yuba in his own yard, Shen Qingning felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart that he hadn't had in many years.

Where are these strips of bean curd sticks? What are hanging here are obviously strings of copper coins!
In the evening, Mrs. Li specially cooked rice and scrambled eggs to reward the whole family.

"I'll soak another [-] catties of soybeans tonight!"

Shen Qingning, who was buried in her meal, almost choked on the rice in her mouth when she heard Li Shi's words.

"Mom, you are working too hard!"

"When I was doing homework with your grandma today, your grandma reminded me that it will take a few days for the bean curd sticks to dry, so we should make more while the sun is shining, otherwise it will be cloudy and rainy, and this business will not be able to be done. .”

The truth is this, but Shen Qingning is really tired!

I was still thinking that I could sleep late tomorrow morning, but who knew I would wake up before dawn again!
Seeing her tired look, Shen Guan smiled and said, "I don't have to go to school tomorrow, I'll grind beans for my mother so you can sleep more."

Mrs. Li also felt sorry for Shen Qingning's young age, "Then Qingning, get up later."

Early the next morning, when Shen Qingning, who had promised to be good, heard Qingxiu and Shen Guan get up, she still managed to get up.

Alas, the family is so poor that she really has no face to continue sleeping.

It was only dawn when she finished packing and came out, and it was a bit chilly outside, Shen Qingning rubbed her arms and went into the kitchen, Qingxiu was boiling water with a face that didn't get enough sleep.

"Sister, shall I light the fire?"

"Well, I'm going to light the stove and cook porridge."

Li Shi and Shen Dahe got up earlier than the three brothers and sisters, when Shen Qingning entered the kitchen, he saw a bucket of ground soybeans that were mushy.

As soon as she boiled the water and stirred up the paste in the bucket, Shen Dahe took it over and began to filter the pulp. This was the most tiring job, and he wanted to do more before going out, so that Li Shi would be easier later on.

After the first bucket of soy milk boiled, it was already daylight.

Qingxiu used the stove to cook sweet potato and vegetable porridge for the family, and Shen Dahe ate it a few times before rushing to work.

The others ate in turn, and Li Shi and Shen Guan carried the bean curd sticks that had been dried yesterday to Jiang Shi's yard to dry.

When passing by the gate of Dasun's courtyard, he was stopped, "Second daughter-in-law, do you sell this bean curd stick so well? I think your stove has never stopped every day. I'm afraid it's making a lot of money?"

"Damn, this thing is just selling it fresh, so it won't make two dollars."

"Hey, what do you think you are hiding from me? Don't worry, I won't ask you to borrow money."

Shen Qingning was holding Xiao Miaoer and was about to send it to the Jiang family, "Auntie, aren't you going to the ground today?"

"Enna, I won't go to the field today. Send Miaoer to your grandma?"

Shen Qingning still smiled, "We have been tired for a year and now we have to rest during the slack season. It's like we got up before dawn and died of exhaustion."

Within the time of these two sentences, Li Shi and Shen Guan had already entered Jiang Shi's courtyard, and Shen Qingning followed without looking back.

The elder Sun turned around and said to the younger Sun behind him, "Since the time she fell, this Qingning girl has spoken differently from before. She used to be stupid, with a bad temper and a stupid tongue. Do it."

Now with two sentences that are neither soft nor hard, Da Sun has been pushed back.

Xiao Sun held back her mouth, "I've hit a ghost, I can't listen to broom stars."

"Oh, I don't know how much money the second child made from selling the bean curd sticks? The chimney in her house has never stopped."

"No matter how much, we sisters won't get half of the benefits."

Da Sun smiled and did not speak.

In Jiang's courtyard, Li was training Shen Qingning.

"What did you say to your uncle just now?"

"Mother, my aunt is just looking at your soft face, and if you say a few more words, you might give her a stick of bean curd stick on your shoulder."

Shen Guan on the side was amused.

Mrs. Li scolded with a smile, "Skin monkey, do you think your mother is stupid?"

"Of course my mother is not stupid. My mother is too soft-hearted. After a while, my aunt will definitely say that the bean curd sticks in our family are delicious. Which brother or sister likes to eat, and then you have to give her some. We do this a lot. Hard work? My family is reluctant to eat it."

Shen Qingning has long understood Li's temper, and she looks a little aggressive when speaking on weekdays, and that's also for people she doesn't deal with, such as Xiao Sun.

But in fact, there are some people who really want to save face. Even though their own life is not easy, they are always taken advantage of by Da Sun when it comes to eating and drinking.

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, "Stop interrupting. In the future, you will not be allowed to say what the elders say. You should learn from your sister. If someone says something unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear it."

No matter how much she disagreed in her heart, Shen Qingning could only nod her head, "Understood, I understand."

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Li stopped talking, Mrs. Jiang opened her mouth.

"You want to learn more from your sister. She is only nine years old. She is really bad at sewing. After you have finished working for a while, you will come to me with Feng Zhen Qingxiu."

"Ah?" Why did you talk about needlework again, didn't you scold her for not being able to learn it with an elm head?

"Ah what? We're going to have a kiss in a few years, and now I can't even mend clothes, and I haven't asked you to embroider them yet!"

Shen Qingning was speechless, a child under the age of nine will still be a child in a few years!

Jiang's needlework is well-known in the village. A few years ago, he even embroidered handkerchiefs and purses to exchange for money.Now that I am getting older and my eyesight is not so good, I do these things less frequently.

She usually teaches Shen Fengzhen and Shen Qingxiu, and the two sisters also learn well.

Only Shen Qingning, who has been restless since she was a child, has dragged on until now and has not learned anything.

Shen Qingning suddenly felt that the way of going out today was wrong?Why has it been said twice in one morning?
Call ~
Another day of talking!
