Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 110
Jiang Dafu and Tian Lin had lunch and started a new round of cleaning.

After working until dinner time, Liu Qingcao came over with food.

She cooked the meals for Jiang Dafu and Tian Lin alone. Two big men, eating with children, would definitely not be full.

Liu Qingcao came here this time, in addition to delivering meals, she also paid them wages in advance.

A large string of copper coins was placed on the table, and a group of children stared at it without blinking. Liu Qingcao smiled and spoke.

"Brothers and sisters, are you happy today?"

"There is something to eat, so be happy." A little girl smiled happily, revealing a few deciduous teeth.

"It's good to be happy. If you want to eat, you have to rely on yourself. Nuo, this is the salary for tomorrow. I will pay you three Wen in advance. After finishing the work tomorrow, I will pay the remaining two Wen."

Liu Qingcao picked up three copper coins and gently placed them in the little girl's palm.

The little girl happily held the copper plate in her hand, raised her head, and showed a big smile towards Liu Qingcao, her eyes were clear and bright.

"Three Wen, although it's not much, but you have to take it well. This is your food money for tomorrow."

Liu Qingcao's crisp voice fell, and the children below couldn't restrain the excitement in their hearts, and began to whisper.

Taking advantage of this joy, Liu Qingcao began to distribute copper coins one by one.

When the copper plate was really held in their hands, they felt that what the village head of Shihe Village said was true.

After distributing the copper coins, Liu Qingcao didn't stay any longer, turned around and strode away.

Tonight, these children will temporarily live in this newly repaired factory shed.

In the factory shed, Liu Qingcao laid a layer of rice grass and bamboo mats. The weather is not too cold, so if you cover it with a layer of cotton cloth and sleep overnight, you won't catch a cold or get sick.

In the early morning of the next day, everything was silent in all directions, the sky was gray and bright, and the night was quietly disappearing. The morning light of dawn slowly awakened the sleeping creatures, and a cock crow resounded throughout the village, urging the busy people today to get up early to earn rice.

Liu Qingcao rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door listlessly.

"Morning sister Chen." Liu Qingcao walked to the door of the kitchen, looked at Chen Cuizhi who was busy up and down, and greeted her with a yawn.

"Girl, sleep a little longer, we have to wait for breakfast."

Chen Cuizhi saw that she was not awake, and tried to persuade her.

Liu Qingcao shook her head, went to the corner of the courtyard and began to fetch water to wash, trying to refresh herself as soon as possible.

After washing, Liu Qingcao went to the kitchen and began to help Chen Cuizhi.

It is not so easy to make breakfast for more than forty children.

"Sister Chen, don't make these steamed buns too small. With cornmeal added, it's not cheap for a penny." Liu Qingcao saw that Chen Cuizhi's teasing was a bit small, and reminded her.

"Girl, if you always make it so big, when they go to the town to buy it, it will be much smaller than ours, and they will be disappointed."

Chen Cuizhi stretched the dose a bit bigger while explaining.

Liu Qingcao smiled, knowing Chen Cuizhi's concerns, but she didn't intend to let these children go, so why go to the town to buy food?

"It's okay, just do as I say in the future, and after a while, you will know what I mean."

"Yes, girl." Chen Cuizhi nodded knowingly, looked at Liu Qingcao with a smile, and stopped talking.

"Qingcao, have you had breakfast?"

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Dayin's voice came.

"Second Brother Jiang, here we come. Have you eaten, or have you eaten together?"

Liu Qingcao opened the door and asked with a smile.

"I've eaten, I'll wait for you, you eat first."

Jiang Dayin looked at the dining table in the yard, saw that several people were still eating, so he sat aside and waited quietly.

After the meal, Liu Qingcao took Jiang Dayin and Chen Cuizhi to the factory shed to deliver breakfast to the children.

"Haven't gotten up yet?" Liu Qingcao looked at the quiet factory shed area and said to herself.

Jiang Dayin let go of the pick, walked to the window of the factory shed, and looked inside. There were rows of little people sleeping neatly.

"They're still sleeping." Jiang Dayin lowered his voice and walked over.

Liu Qingcao thought for a while, walked forward, and knocked on the door softly and rhythmically.

Not long after, there was a sound from inside, Liu Qingcao opened the door, and spoke softly.

"It's breakfast. Steamed buns cost a penny each and a bowl of porridge is added. If you miss it, you will be hungry."

With a swish, Shi Chengzhi tore off the cotton sheet, jumped up from the bamboo mat, and shook Shi Yunkang who was still asleep.

"Brother, give me the money, I want to have breakfast."

"Well, I said it yesterday, so I have to save it." Shi Yunkang half-raised his eyelids, and replied sleepily.

"Brother, wake up, everyone will deliver to your door, one penny each, and a bowl of porridge."

Seeing that his brother was about to fall asleep again, Shi Yunkang shook him vigorously, fearing that he would miss this opportunity.

"Huh? A steamed bun and a bowl of porridge for only a penny? Which one is selling it?"

Shi Yunkang was shaken so sleeplessly by Shi Chengzhi, more because of what he said.

"At the door, at the door, brother, quick, give me a penny, I want to have breakfast." Seeing that he was still in a daze, Shi Chengzhi groped around him without waiting to speak.

When Shi Yunkang was touched by him, he quickly jumped to avoid it, with a little anger on his face, his eyes fixed on him, and he spoke in an unhappy tone.

"Take your hands and feet, don't you want to eat?"

"Brother, I want to eat, you give it to me quickly, I'm really hungry." Shi Chengzhi's heart was frightened by his brother's look, but he still had the courage to ask for copper coins.

"Here, what a loser, he only knows how to eat!" Shi Yunkang cursed, but his tone softened.

"Thank you brother." Shi Chengzhi took the copper plate with a smile, left a word, and ran out of the room.

"Sister, one penny." Standing in front of Liu Qingcao, Shi Chengzhi handed out the copper coin in his hand, and said in a loud voice, but his eyes were fixed on the scallion steamed buns in the back basket without blinking.

"Wash your hands first, then eat." Liu Qingcao took his copper plate, pointed to the water basin next to him, and reminded with a smile.

Shi Chengzhi glanced at the water basin, then at the willows and grasses, and finally obediently went to the water basin and began to wash his hands seriously.

"Go, here are your steamed buns and porridge." Seeing him coming over after washing his hands, Chen Cuizhi looked at Shi Chengzhi tenderly, with caring in her tone.

Shi Chengzhi looked up at Chen Cuizhi, then quickly lowered his head, carrying his own breakfast, walked quickly to the table and sat down, his eyes were slightly red.

He misses his mother, homesick.

Liu Qingcao saw Shi Chengzhi's panic in her eyes and kept it in her heart.

This child is not crooked, has good conduct, and is available!

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Chen Cuizhi saw Liu Qingcao was dazed with a smile on her face while holding a spoon, and hurriedly reached out and patted her arm lightly.

Liu Qingcao froze for a moment, recovered, and looked at the little man standing in front of her apologetically.

"Be careful of the heat."

"Thank you sister." The little boy thanked in a childish voice, and walked carefully and slowly to the table.

"Brother Chengzhi, what's wrong with you?" The boy put the bowl away, saw the tears on Shi Chengzhi's face, approached him, tilted his head and asked in concern.

When Shi Chengzhi saw someone approaching him, he quickly wiped the tears off his face and smiled.

"It's okay, I got porridge in my eyes, Xiao Shi, eat quickly, this steamed bun is delicious."

"Well, I also think it smells delicious." Xiao Shi showed a big smile on his face, looking at the steamed buns on the table, his clear eyes flickered, very playful and cute.

"Brother Chengzhi, the elder sister said that if you are not full, you can add some more porridge. Would you like to add some more?"

Xiao Shi took small bites of the steamed bun, looked at Shi Chengzhi's empty bowl, and reminded him.

After hearing this, Shi Chengzhi was overjoyed, took the bowl and went to Liu Qingcao's side, completely forgetting that not long ago, he was still immersed in self-sorrow.
