The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 24
Zhao Yunlan got up early in the morning and looked at the precipitated sweet potato pulp, Zhao Yunlan was very happy.Carefully pour off the water in the upper layer, dig up the starch below, and find a dustpan to dry.

Good weather not only makes farmers happy, Zhao Yunlan is also happy.

When Li Mingmei got up to boil water, Zhao Yunlan had already brought the dustpan to the yard.

"Sister-in-law, this looks like flour." Li Mingmei exclaimed.

"That's right, this is the powder in the sweet potato. When the powder is dried, I'll make it delicious for you, hey~." Zhao Yunlan thought that there is no such thing as chili, hot and sour powder without chili is just There is no soul.

Zhao Yunlan carefully thought about the substitute for chili, um, cornel can be used.It just so happened that today the third child went to the town to deliver clothes to Li Mingyi, "Sir brother, come here, I need your help with something." Zhao Yunlan called Li Mingli.

"Sister-in-law, why are you being polite? Just ask if you have anything to do."

"Okay, I'm not being polite to you. Today you go to the pharmacy in the town and help me buy some dogwood and a piece of ginger. I'll give you the money later."

"Sister-in-law is not feeling well, please ask old doctor Sun to come and take a look." Li Mingli asked.

"I'm not feeling sick. I bought it to make seasoning. You can just buy it. I'll give you fifty cents, and you can buy it according to this money."

"Sister-in-law, is it too expensive to make seasoning?"

"Just buy it! You have to pay first before you can reap." Zhao Yunlan thought for a while, "There is one more thing, you can go shopping in the town today to see if there is any flower basket seller, if so, you can ask where it is Family, let’s see how their business is doing.”

Li Mingli nodded solemnly, Zhao Yunlan returned to the room and gave Li Mingli sixty Wen, "I'll give you an extra ten Wen, and I'll buy some food in the town. If there's a long delay, I'll take Uncle Wang's oxcart back."

Li Mingli refused to take the money: "I'll just bring some pancakes later, it won't cost me any money."

Zhao Yunlan didn't want to argue with Li Mingli, so she put the money into the third child's hand and went to the kitchen.Li Mingli had no choice but to stuff the money into his bosom.

After breakfast, Li Mingli packed Li Mingyi's clothes and went to town.Zhao Yunlan and the others followed Old Man Li to the field, and Xiao Bao was also carried by Zhao Yunlan to the field.

"Xiaobao, do you know what this kind is?" Zhao Yunlan asked Xiaobao, and Xiaobao listened half-understanding.

"Mother, hehehe~" Xiaobao grabbed the muddy grass and stuffed it into Zhao Yunlan's hands, Zhao Yunlan was not annoyed.Zhao Yunlan's temper is getting better and better now, and the motherhood aroused by Xiaobao spreads out round and round, and sometimes Li Mingmei can feel Zhao Yunlan's kindness.

"Xiaobao, read to mother, Mai Mai, come to Mai Mai."

"Little crooked." Xiao Bao tilted his head and killed Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan was overjoyed, "Wheat, it's wheat."

Xiaobao followed, "Mai, it's Xiaowei"

Li Mingmei laughed beside her, and Zhao Yunlan no longer struggled with Xiaobao's pronunciation.I found a flat ridge for Xiaobao, and let Xiaobao sit there to play, while Zhao Yunlan was pulling weeds only a few steps away.

Zhao Yunlan brought Xiaobao to the field to let the children get in touch with nature by themselves, and learned to know these crops from an early age, and to understand the difficulty of growing crops.Although I plan to go the way of reading in the future, I still have to know all kinds of grains.Even though Xiaobao doesn't understand the consciousness of these things now, Zhao Yunlan wants to start from the milk baby, and gradually develop the good habit of being able to go to the study, go to the kitchen, and grow the land outside. , Don't become artificial because you have read the book.

Xiaobao sat on the ridge of the field, lively and active, wanting to stand up for a while, crawling around again, making his clothes full of dirt.Zhao Yunlan looked at it and thought: It is adults who are tired of children's social practice.When I think about going back and changing clothes again, I have a headache.After all, Xiaobao was not restrained.

The work in the field is almost done. Xiaobao has been playing all morning, and now he is so sleepy that he wants to take a nap.

Zhao Yunlan carried Xiaobao back home in the basket, and Xiaobao fell asleep in the basket.

After entering the yard, Mrs. Wang was sitting in the yard mending clothes with a needle and thread. Zhao Yunlan carried Xiaobao back to the bed in the room and fell asleep.

"Mother, let me mend for a while. Don't waste your energy, go to the house to rest for a while." Li Mingmei washed her hands and came over to take the clothes from Wang's hands.

Mrs. Wang: "It's okay. As soon as I came out and sat down, I opened the thread a little bit. I can sew it up in a while, and I don't waste my energy."

Li Mingmei had no choice but to give up and followed Zhao Yunlan to the kitchen.The adults in the family eat two meals, but Xiaobao still has to eat three meals. Li Mingmei cooked some lean meat porridge.

Zhao Yunlan put a little more rice, thinking that Mrs. Wang would eat it too.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang shirked and refused to eat, and complained what Zhao Yunlan was wasting the food.

Zhao Yunlan said sternly: "Mother, there is a saying that 'medicine is not as good as food'. In addition to taking medicine on weekdays, you also need to eat well. Although the family can't have big fish and meat every day, mother, you can still eat three meals a day." Made it."

Wang stopped complaining and ate slowly with a bowl in his hand. Xiao Bao woke up and saw that Wang was also eating, and sat next to Wang with a bowl in his hand.Looking at the old and the young, Zhao Yunlan just thought they were cute.

Li Mingmei was invited by Aunt Sun's big sister to go to the mountain to pick spring bamboo shoots together, and there were a few girls of average age in the village.

"Meizi, where did you buy this flower? The other day I saw you wearing this flower, so I asked my mother to go to the town to buy it for me. When she came back, she said that there was no one in the town." Li Dahua asked impatiently.

Li Dahua is the sixth daughter of Li Qingnian and Sun Jinfeng from the head of the village. Li Qingnian has a lot of land and people.Li Dahua has five older brothers, one younger brother and one younger sister.The four elder brothers are all married, and the whole family is hardworking and honest, so the work in the field is done neatly, and they can be regarded as a family with a little money in the village.Li Qingnian and his wife's family treat their children equally. As long as what Li Dahua wants is within the range of tolerance, the parents will try their best to achieve it.Li Dahua is also straightforward, if he likes Li Mingmei's head flower, he can ask directly if he wants to, and there will be no such messy little calculations.

The other little girls also waited eagerly, as if they would have it the next second they knew the answer.

"This one, I didn't buy it in the town. Where does my family have the money to spend it? My sister-in-law made it for me. It looks good!" Li Mingmei said proudly.

Li Dahua: "Hey, it looks good, let my sister-in-law make a pair for me too, um~ I'll pay, I've saved up some pocket money, but there's not much left, let your sister-in-law make it cheaper."

The other girls also nodded. Those who didn't have pocket money still wanted to exchange eggs.

Li Mingmei was stunned by the chatter, and hurriedly carried the basket on her back and prepared to go home. After running two steps, she realized that this was an opportunity to make money!

Li Mingmei couldn't wait to fly to Zhao Yunlan's side in the next second, and she didn't forget to say to her little friend: "You wait, I will go back and ask my sister-in-law."

In the yard, Zhao Yunlan was washing Xiaobao's changed clothes when she saw a windy woman rushing towards her.

"Big, big, sister-in-law, I, I have..." Li Mingmei was out of breath and wanted to speak again.

"Take a rest first, and then you can get your breath back. I'll get you a bowl of water." Zhao Yunlan went to the main room and brought a bowl of water.

Li Mingmei drank it in one breath, almost choking herself, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Dahua and the others want to buy this head flower from you," Li Mingmei pointed to her head, and then said, "It's just for you Give it cheaper, they don't have much money."

"You girl, I thought it was why you were so anxious. My sister-in-law can do this hair flower, but I won't charge you for this money. We are all in the same village, so how can you ask for this money? When the farming season is busy, you are so old The older brothers of Sister Hua’s family will come to help after finishing their work. Most of them in the village have helped our family, so we can’t accept this money.”

Li Mingmei scratched her head shyly, and Zhao Yunlan continued: "But this is a way to make money. We can make hair flowers and sell them in the town. You have seen my sister-in-law make this head flower. I'm talking to you, you I made it and gave it to them."

"Sister-in-law, this won't work. I can't learn your own skills." Li Mingmei shook her head quickly.

"Silly girl, it's not worth any skill. The embroidery in the town is a good skill! And the head flower of this style is very simple and easy to learn. Your sister-in-law and I can do other things, don't worry Bar."

Only then did Li Mingmei feel relieved, Zhao Yunlan thought, a lot of them are cheap to wholesale in the modern Ukrainian small commodity market, and there are many styles.Why did Zhao Yunlan know, because Zhao Yunlan made a special trip to that city to prepare Children's Day gifts for the students when she was a teaching supporter, and Zhao Yunlan's eyes were picked on by Zhao Yunlan in that small shopping mall.

A girl's head flower is not a piece of cake, coupled with her own sewing skills, it is guaranteed to capture the hearts of older girls and younger daughters.

While planning, Zhao Yunlan taught Li Mingmei.

Zhao Yunlan picked a few rags of decent color for Li Mingmei.I looked at the remaining rags. If I want to do this business, there are not many rags that can be used to make hair flowers. I have to go to the town to buy some more.

Li Mingmei went back to her room to get her hair done, Zhao Yunlan put this matter aside for the time being, and went to look at the dried sweet potato starch.
