Nongmen shrew: Farming with cubs is spoiled by rough men

Chapter 12
Qin Zhiyi was moved in his heart.

You know, my natal family is not very rich, so it is not easy to produce so many things.

Before he had time to speak, he saw his second elder brother Qin Erniu walking over carrying a burden.

Behind him, followed by his eldest daughter, Changying, who held a big wax gourd in her arms.

Because of her young age, Changying was holding a wax gourd, and she also stumbled when she walked, looking very strenuous.

She hurried up to greet her, and took the wax gourd from Changying's hand.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, what are you..."

Qin Erniu put down the burden, and said to her: "This charcoal is also burnt recently, no, now it's going to be winter and there is no charcoal fire, just these two thatched huts, how do you girls live?"

"Carbon is free. Your brother and we burned it ourselves, and you don't want to dislike this winter melon. There is really nothing at home to sell."

It is enough to have these.

She had thought earlier that if it got colder, she would go to the town to buy a cart of charcoal and come back.

Looking at it now, with this load of carbon, there is no need to buy it again.

Because he was his own brother, he didn't say thank you, Qin Zhiyi was filled with emotion, and immediately said to him: "There are enough of these."

It's rare for the brothers to send these things, and what's even more rare is that the sisters-in-law didn't say anything.

She remembered all the good things they had done to her.

Before things were packed here, I saw several cousins ​​coming over one after another.

The cousin Qin Fugen brought two chickens, and the cousin brought a basket of eggs.

It wasn't until she walked in that she said to her: "There is nothing good in the house, but there are more than a dozen chickens raised, and I caught two for you. When they open their nests in spring, they will be able to hatch chicks. Chickens lay eggs." An egg lays a chicken, and the two dolls have eggs to eat."

"And these eggs are for the two dolls to replenish their bodies."

Qin Zhiyi glanced at Dabao and Erni, these two little guys had a good food outside of Li Yuan, so compared to the children in Qin's Village, they were lighter and fatter.

But now the cousin and sister-in-law are not stingy, and gave chickens and eggs.

She reached out to take it, and didn't know what to say for a while, she just said: "How embarrassing..."

The sister-in-law Qin Liu said: "There is nothing to be ashamed of, we are all one family."

Then it was my cousin again, who brought her a basket of white radishes he had grown himself.

In a small yard, a lot of things piled up in a short while.

Qin Zhiyi looked at his sister-in-law and cousin-in-law, and couldn't stop saying, "Thank you so much, stay at my house for lunch."

Qin Liu said: "Hey, what do you eat when you stay here? A few days ago, I dragged my family to eat, but I didn't eat less from your family. We won't eat here at noon today. It's rare to cook when there are so many people. The kitchen hasn’t been repaired yet, so it won’t be too late to invite us when it’s finished.”

Qin Zhiyi glanced at the open-air stove behind him, such a kitchen is really not a problem.

After a few days, when the adobe was dry, she hurriedly finished the kitchen first.

Thinking of this, she turned to a few more people and said, "Wait for me first."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house and took out all the jewelry brought out from Li Yuanwai's house.

The jewelry is not expensive. After all, Li Yuanwai was paralyzed on the bed, so most of them are plain silver hairpins. The only valuable thing is a pair of jade earrings.

She distributed one plain silver hairpin to each of her sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law.

"Things are not expensive, sister-in-law, don't dislike them. Wearing them is just a thing. I can't carry so many anyway."

Several women took the plain silver hairpin and liked it with all their hearts and eyes.

There is no woman who does not love jewelry.

These jewelry are many times more beautiful than the scarves they wear on their heads.

They said they would not eat here, chatted a few words, and then went home.

Whatever Qin Zhiyi said, he wanted to keep his eldest brother and second brother here for dinner.

Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu couldn't resist, so they had to agree.

The ones who are eating at home now are the eldest brother, the second brother, and Changying.

Changying played hide-and-seek with the two little ones in the yard, while the eldest brother and the second brother sat at the door drinking tea.

Looking at the tea leaves with their bowls in hand, both of them couldn't help feeling that the younger sister was used to living a life of rich people, and they had never seen such things as tea leaves all year round.

Reluctant to waste tea like this, the brothers stored water one cup after another.

Qin Zhiyi was cooking at the side of the fire, watching the eldest brother and second brother pouring tea, couldn't help laughing: "Elder brother and second brother, you can't pour water into your stomach anymore, if you continue to pour water like this, where will you put your lunch?"

Qin Daniu scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "It's all soaked, don't waste it."

Qin Zhiyi said again: "Then drink it slowly after eating, the tea water will help you digest your food."

Because there were two older brothers, Qin Zhiyi directly stewed brown rice.

She had eaten white rice at Li Yuan's house before, but white rice was much more expensive than brown rice.

It was only 20 taels of silver that she could spend generously when she came back, so she bought brown rice and came back to eat.

Brown rice is light yellow in color and rough in taste. At this time, this kind of brown rice is called 粝米.

After steaming the rice, she put it on the pot to heat up, and then started to stir-fry.

The radish was fried together with the pork we bought, and the winter melon was stewed with dried meat residue, and even an egg custard was stewed.

For the two dishes of radish fried meat and winter melon stewed meat residue, she cooked them in large quantities, and she cracked four eggs in egg custard, mainly for a few children.

The dishes just started to be fried, and several people could smell the fragrance.

The finished dishes are placed on the table, and the rice is ready to eat.

The food is common, but with meat dishes, it tastes different.

Especially in this season, there are only winter melon and radishes. Several people have long been tired of eating winter melon and radishes.

But at this moment, Qin Zhiyi fried the meat and the meat dregs, and every bite was delicious.

After a while, several people finished eating a large bowl of fried rice.

Even the three little guys ate a full belly.

After the two elder brothers finished eating, Qin Zhiyi put all the extra vegetables that had been cooked before into a basin and handed them to the elder brother, asking him to take them back for the younger ones to eat too.

Qin Daniu took the food and said embarrassedly: "This is for eating and taking..."

Qin Zhiyi said: "Isn't this too much? We had lunch early, and you might be able to add something to them by taking it home."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed the remaining jewelry to Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu.

"Take this too, and give it to your sister-in-law when you go back. The other three pairs of thick silver bracelets will be given to the three nieces. It doesn't matter if they bring them or keep them for their dowry in the future. You take them away."

Qin Daniu and Qin Erniu responded with mixed feelings in their hearts, so they went back with Changying without any delay.

Along the way, the two brothers were secretly making up their minds that they would go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, and no matter what, they would not return empty-handed. When the time came, they would share some of the prey with their sister.
