Reborn 1980 The Thousand Gold Peasant Girl

Chapter 27 27. Nervousness
Time passed quickly, and it was mid-September in a flash.Ning Hongfu and Ning Cheng are preparing to sow winter wheat, while Ning Qiu and grandma are practicing making Youdouzi at home.

The abrasive tools for making oil pies were brought back a few days ago. They cost a few dollars and were custom-made by craftsmen. There are five of them in total.

In fact, there is no technical content in making this snack, so Ning Qiu put a little effort into the filling.

Star anise, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and cumin are ground into powder and added to the filling. These are actually the ingredients of five-spice powder.Considering the taste of the children, a small amount of chili powder was added in it.

After trying it several times, the adults and children in the family said it was good, and they became more confident in the small business.

Ning Qiu had thought of many ways to improve the life of her grandfather's family, but at her current age, she couldn't do it at all.

In the end, she came up with the idea of ​​setting up a stall. The fundamental reason is that the cost is small, and even if it fails, there is not much loss.The operation is simple, and you can get started if you are proficient.

Of course, she felt that the possibility of failure was unlikely. After all, this kind of food is not common in the north, let alone the closed Fuyuan County.

Although I don't earn much, it's hard work.But if you want to make money, you have to work hard. As long as there is a reward, everything is worth it.

The end of September is the day for planting wheat, and the villagers of Xiashan Village went to the opposite field early in the morning.

Whenever this kind of large-scale planting period is encountered, the whole village of Xiashan Village will be mobilized, and the village head will make overall arrangements.The family has a lot of people and grows quickly. After finishing the work at hand, it will help other families to plant together.

Helping each other is an unwritten rule in the village. After all, every family needs help from others.If you help others this time, others will help you next time.Also because of this, the relationship between the people in the village is relatively close, unlike the cities where each family sweeps the snow before their own doors.

All able-bodied young and middle-aged people have gone to the fields, and only some old people and children are left in the village to look after the house.

Ning Qiu also got up early. After coming to Xiashan Village, her work and rest became very regular. She went to bed early and woke up early, and her body was much stronger than when she was in Shen's house.

The wounds on his body and face have long since healed. Except for the faint scar on his knee, everything else has recovered perfectly.

Although he is still young, he can still do the work of feeding chickens and sheep.Or help grandma tend the vegetable patch in the backyard, run errands, and lay hands down.

After taking care of the vegetable field in the backyard at noon, the grandparents and grandchildren cook lunch for the laborers who work in the field at home.

Going to the field is physical work, and Zhu Ximei made a big pot of steamed buns with three-in-one noodles, and the dishes were the oily dumplings left over from practice.Serve it with a large nest of vegetable soup and a few homemade pickles and you're done.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the grandfather and grandson put the food into the basket.

Ning Qiu carried a basket of steamed buns on her back, and grandma's basket contained some pickles and a large plate of oily dumplings, and she carried a wooden barrel containing vegetable soup in her hand, and the two of them went to the field when they were ready.

At this time, there were many daughters-in-law in the village delivering meals to their men, chatting and laughing in twos and threes and walking on the main road outside the village.

The number of people on the village road gradually decreased, and two furtive figures appeared at the foot of the back mountain.

The figure quickly entered the village along the village road, looked around and sneaked along the wall to a small courtyard on the west.

Outside the small courtyard is a circle of earth walls more than one meter high, and you can see the situation inside as soon as you stretch your head.

The yard is very dirty, there are large pools of water stains on the ground, sheep manure and chicken manure can be seen everywhere.

A dirty child was squatting on the ground with a basin of dirty clothes in front of him.The child's sleeves were rolled up high, exposing thin, bruised arms.She scrubbed and washed the clothes in the basin vigorously with her small hands, and the woman's vicious cursing could still be heard in the room.

The two figures squatted patiently outside the courtyard wall, and saw the child struggling to put the dirty clothes into the back basket, and walked out of the courtyard with it on his back.

Seeing this, the two black shadows hurriedly hid by the courtyard wall, and then followed the child all the way.After turning the corner, they rushed up quickly and covered the child's mouth and nose.

One of them picked up the child and ran to the back of the mountain, while the other headed to the east of the village, turning over into Ning's yard in one breath.

At the corner, a basket of dirty clothes fell on the ground, and the empty basket passed far away.

Ning Qiu and grandma waited for the three of them to have lunch, packed up their things and went home.

Back in the small courtyard, Zhu Ximei cleaned the dishes and said to Ning Qiu who was squatting at the door of the kitchen.

"Autumn, let's go back to the main room, grandma will measure you, and I will ask your aunt to make some autumn clothes later."

"Ugh!"

Ning Qiu stood up obediently, took grandma's hand and went back to the main room.

When walking through the yard, Ning Qiu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.He glanced around and found nothing, thinking that he was nervous.

Entering the main room, Zhu Ximei got a tape measure and carefully measured the child's size.

"Qiu, let's make our clothes bigger, so we won't be afraid to grow taller later."

"Ah."

After writing down the size, Zhu Ximei took the half-stitched laminated bottom.

"Go play in the yard, call grandma if you want to go out, and grandma will go with you."

"Oh, I see."

Ning Qiu walked out of the main room, looking at the clear blue sky, she lost her mind for a moment.Everyone said that childhood was both beautiful and short, but Ning Qiu found it very difficult.

Having nothing to do, she wandered to the backyard, wanting to see those livestock.

But just as she turned the corner, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and covered her mouth forcefully.

Startled, Ning Qiu reflexively slammed his elbow back, and a man's muffled grunt came from behind him.

After all, Ning Qiu is a child, and it is her limit to make the people behind her groan.

That blow obviously irritated the other party, holding Ning Qiu's hands even harder.

Ning Qiu only felt that his ribs were about to be cut off by the opponent, and it became extremely difficult to breathe.Gradually deprived of oxygen, her struggle became weaker and weaker.

The man quickened his pace and rushed to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps.Nervously, he turned his head and glanced at the main room, quietly pushed open the courtyard door, and followed the people out.

Another figure outside the door hid at the base of the wall. Seeing that his companion had succeeded, he immediately went up to help, and the two quickly ran into the back mountain with the child in their arms.

Sitting in the main room, Zhu Ximei held the soles of her shoes, unaware of what happened, her eyelids drooped from time to time, and she was drowsy.

Entering the forest, the man let go of his hand.

Only then did Ning Qiu see clearly the two people in front of him, one was tall and thin, the other short and stocky.They were all wearing dark blue outer shirts, with dark skin and two blobs of plateau red on their cheeks. They were local farmers just by looking at them.

Before Ning Qiu could scream, the tall and thin man quickly stuffed her mouth with a piece of cloth, another tied her hands and feet with a rope, and put her in a sack.

"This girl looks really juicy!!"

"No! Let's send it now!!"

"Go back quickly, Brother Yong is still waiting."

While talking, the two carried sacks and walked to a mountainside, took out another sack behind a boulder, each carried one and ran down the mountain from the other side.
