Chapter 28

Shen Dahe's family got the rice rations given by old man Shen and thought that if the drought continued for a few more months, the harvest in the second half of the year would be gone, and the rations would not be enough.

He discussed with Mrs. Li to take out the family's money. In the past few months, she has been selling bean curd sticks. Apart from improving the food for the children at home, she is not willing to spend a penny, nor is she willing to make a new dress. She has 13 taels left. It's all here.

Mrs. Li sighed, "I originally thought that next year's business could last for half a year. At least my family can build the house. If this year is really a famine year, I don't know when the house will be built. Sigh~"

Shen Dahe persuaded her, "Why are you sighing in front of the child? The money our family earned in these few months is worth the previous years. The house will be built sooner or later. We should buy more food for storage. The child is still young and won't be hungry."

Of course Mrs. Li also agreed to buy grain, "Oh, of course I know, this day is just passing by, and it's such a bad time. How much grain do you plan to buy?"

Shen Qingning hurriedly interjected, "Father, if this land is dry for a few months, will the river at the head of our village dry up? What will we do with the water?"

"Your father said that the river at the head of the village was also dry back then, so there is only Huangli River to the west. The water there is deep, and you can go there when you drink water."

Shen Guan suggested, "Father, do we need to buy two more large water tanks at home? If we still need to make bean curd sticks by then, then the water will not be enough."

Qingxiu also seconded, "Eat at home for a day and make yuba, this big tank of water is not enough."

Shen Qingning also meant the same thing, "I think so too, when the time comes, the whole family will rely on these few tanks for food and water for a day."

Shen Dahe thought about it, and it was indeed such a thing, "Alright then, think about what else to buy, and your mother and I will do it together tomorrow."

Soon, Shen Dahe and his wife went to the county seat and spent five taels of silver to buy all the food and take it home. They also bought a big vat for Old Man Shen and Jiang.

The so-called don't panic if you have food in your hands. No matter what the weather is dry and the land is dry, the family will carry water to irrigate the land as usual. No matter what happens, the crops of this season must be preserved.

Shen Guan took his horse to the river to graze early in the morning, and then returned with his back to fill a few vats with soaked beans and grind them to make bean curd sticks. On his last trip today, when he was about to get home, he ran into Shen Dajiang next door.

"Uncle."

Shen Dajiang answered him with his hands behind his back, "Well, don't forget your grandma when you carry water, and make an extra trip to fetch water for them."

Even if Shen Dajiang didn't say anything, the water in Jiang's courtyard has always been picked by Shen Dahe and Shen Guan and his son.

Shen Guan's temperament would not say much, he just answered one sentence, the refill has already been filled.

Shen Dajiang nodded and walked away.

After entering the yard, Shen Qingning was packing her things. Today she was going to send bean curd sticks to the county seat. Recently, several small shops bought bean curd sticks at her house and sold them.Now they no longer go to the street to set up stalls to sell, which saves a lot of trouble.

She also heard Shen Dajiang's words, this uncle really likes to put on the profile of the boss of the Shen family, he looks like an elder when he sees everyone, he doesn't smile at all.

They don't look like elders at all, treating Dasun and the four children in the family as cattle and horses. After the separation, the few people probably haven't rested for a day.

If there is a lot of work, I will go to the field to do work. If there is less work, the three cousins ​​will go to the county to find work, and Dasun will do the work in the field alone.

And what about Shen Dajiang himself?When the weather is good and the mood is good, I will go to the ground. If it is hot or for other reasons, I will rest when I want to rest.

Although Shen Qingning didn't like Da Sun's, she didn't like this uncle even more. Apart from being nice to his parents, he was extremely selfish to his wife and children.

Any woman who meets such a man will suffer for a lifetime.

Mrs. Li came out of the kitchen, "Qingning, don't forget that there are two bills to be paid today, remember to bring them back, and come back directly after collecting the money, don't play around on the road."

Shen Qingning paused, "I know."

When she arrived in the county town, she led the delivery of Ma's family. Several of the inspectors said that the payment of good goods was settled in January, and two of them were in these two days.As soon as Shen Qingning mentioned the checkout, the bosses of the two small shops also readily gave it, a total of one or two halves.

She took the money and didn't go home directly, she tied the horse at the door of a small shop she knew, and went directly to a shop selling vats in the city.

"Boss, how do you sell this tank in your house?"

The tanks that Shen Dahe bought before were bought at his house, and the prices are good and fair.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a beard, and he just smiles when he sees people, "Little girl, do you want to buy a tank? Then you have to wait, my delivery guy is too busy recently, but he can't deliver it to you until tomorrow morning." Home goods. Where is your home?"

Before Shen Qingning came, he had already thought about his words and observed carefully, everything was planned.

"Boss, I don't need you to deliver. My father will come over to pick up the things after selling them. Just put them at the back door of your shop. He will come right away. Wouldn't it be cheaper not to deliver them to your door?"

The boss was happy when he heard that there was no need to send it away. There are too many people who bought this kind of big round belly tank recently. The things are so big that they have to be delivered by a car. The guy in the store is too busy to deliver the goods.

"It will be cheaper if you don't need to send it. I will move it to the back door of the shop for you. How many tanks do you want, little girl?"

"Ten mouths, buy so many bosses, you can buy less!"

…………

Not needing delivery and buying a lot, Shen Qingning paid back the price and paid the shopkeeper the money, only then did he believe that the little girl really wanted to buy ten large vats.

Rolling the ten-mouth jars out of the back door, he was still a little uneasy. How could he trust a little girl to buy this big row.

"The little girl, are you watching here? I'm going to work ahead."

"Boss just let it go, my dad will be here soon."

After confirming that the boss had closed the back door, Shen Qingning squatted at the back door for a while, found a moment when no one was around, put the vat into the space, and then ran away in a hurry!

Recently, she has been waiting for today, hacking the family's money to buy tanks.

In this dry weather, it is safe to buy a few more tanks. She only has ten wooden barrels in her space, and now she has ten large tanks, which saves a lot of time a day.

Originally, she had received money once a few days ago, but it was about three taels. She couldn't bear it, and she couldn't be sure whether Mrs. Li would beat her when she went home and said that she had lost the three taels of silver.

In the two and a half of today, I hope Mrs. Li will be merciful!

Along the way, I rode a horse and strolled slowly, brewing emotions all the time, thinking about the pain of the previous life and the suffering of this life, and finally squeezed out a few tears when I was almost home.

Silently led the horse into the house, and heard Li from the kitchen asking, "Qingning is back?"

Shen Qingning started to enter the play, standing in the courtyard and crying loudly!

"What happened?"

In the kitchen, Li Shi and Qingxiu ran out in a hurry when they heard the sound, and saw Shen Qingning standing in the yard holding a horse and crying very miserable.

"Qingning, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, "What's the matter, you should tell me quickly!"

Shen Qingning cried violently, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow~"

 Little cuties, go to the book circle and give a five-star praise card, thank you!
