Peasant spicy daughter-in-law

Chapter 10 Adding Tools
"Ruowei... Ruowei..."

"what?"

"Don't worry, they just talked about the bastard in the morning. That kid is not doing his job all day long. He deserves the beating. He said he was stealing someone else's watermelon. Maybe he was eavesdropping on someone's wall. That bachelor man, What can be done."

"No, let them talk if they want to talk, don't care what he says, what the hell am I doing with my free time, I'll go back first, Auntie Fat, there's still some work to be done at home."

After Han Ruowei left from the fat aunt's house, she thought about it on the way back, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Stealing watermelons? It takes about a month for watermelons to mature, and the melons in the field are only the size of a fist. How could this bastard steal watermelons?

Could it be that the person from last night was not Principal Wu?But a bum? "

"Mom... Mom... what's wrong with you?"

Han Ruowei stopped suddenly, holding the two dollars tightly in his hand, and stood there blankly.

Seeing Han Ruowei's appearance, Xiaoying felt tense in her heart, and cried out incessantly, her trembling little hand also tugged at Han Ruowei's arm.

The moment Xiaoying met Han Ruowei, Han Ruowei came back to his senses and looked at Xiaoying suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you, Xiaoying? Why are you crying?"

"Mom! I thought you were ignoring Xiaoying... Hey..."

Xiaoying cried, and hugged Han Ruowei, crying even more pear blossoms and rain, Han Ruowei looked at him again, and suddenly squeezed the two yuan in his hand into his palm.

Make up your mind to go to the market to buy tools such as shovels and axes.

Han Ruowei took Xiaoying and walked for two hours before arriving at the market. Because he only had these two yuan in his hands, he was extra cautious when shopping, and he talked and talked about the price to the stall owner.

For thirty cents I bought a shovel, for thirty cents I bought an axe, forty cents bought an iron pot, and for the remaining one yuan, I bought some daily necessities, and finally only five cents remained.

With these tools, Han Ruowei had more confidence in his heart. Although the journey was long and heavy, Han Ruowei was smiling all over his face.

I finally returned home after walking for more than three hours, and the sky was already dark.

Han Ruowei tidied things up. In order to reward Xiaoying and celebrate that she had the tools to start her own plan, she specially added a handful of cornmeal to the boiled shepherd's purse.

"Mom~ Mom~ Take a break! Look at your head covered in sweat."

After buying the tools today, Han Ruowei was too excited to sleep, so he dug a hole in the ground of the thatched cottage and lit the fire.

He ran outside, mixed the mud with a shovel, and started beating the adobe.

"Mom is not tired. Mom wants to praise more adobe bricks and build a bigger house, so that Xiaoying and mom won't suffer from the cold anymore, and won't be afraid of monsters..."

"Huh...huh..."

Before Han Ruowei finished speaking, Xiaoying fell asleep beside the bed.

"My little darling, I must be tired today. After running so far, I didn't let me give you a hug."

As she said that, Han Ruowei put down the shovel in her hand, patted the dust off her body, carried Xiaoying to the bed, covered her with the straw mat she woven, and turned around to start making adobe again.

Han Ruowei didn't go to rest until late at night, and got up early the next day. While Xiaoying was sleeping, she went to the field to dig wild vegetables by herself with a shovel.

In the early morning, the field was foggy, and there were still drops of dew on the weeds and wheat. At this moment, someone had already pulled the weeds in the field.

Now that the wheat has grown tall, it is inconvenient to use a hoe, so we have to manually pull it out, and the weeds in the wheat fields are almost only two kinds of Artemisia annua and Artemisia annua.

In order to completely kill the weeds, people in the village pull out the weeds in the morning, put the weeds on the growing wheat, and after a day of exposure to the sun, they are completely killed, so as not to fall to the ground and resurrect again.

"Ruowei is so early. I haven't seen you go to the field before. Now that I've given it to you, I really care about it. There should be a good harvest this year."

"How can we do it if we don't pay attention to it? We are a large and a small family, but we all count on these two acres of land to live."

"Yes, yes, it's not easy to live apart..."

"..."

After Han Ruowei greeted them, she turned to look at her two-acre wheat field, and smiled wryly.

"Ah……"

The sparse wheat is really disturbing. These days, I am busy repairing the house and have a place to live. I have no time to manage the wheat field.

The artemisia in the wheat field is scattered here and there, taller than the wheat, and the ground is already dry and cracked. It can be seen at a glance that the owner of this wheat field is not a hardworking person.

What can Han Ruowei do now? Compared with managing the wheat fields, what is more important is to feed his stomach and survive.

Staring blankly at the wheat field for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, squatted down and started digging shepherd's purse and some dandelions.

"The daughter-in-law of the Shaotang family, there must be something wrong with it, the field is full of Artemisia argyi, and she keeps digging some wild vegetables..."

"I've never seen her go to the field before, but now she suddenly needs a field, can she know how to plant..."

"I have so many wild vegetables, maybe I'm entertaining some man. Why do I need others for the work in the field..."

"..."

Some neighbors who went to the fields one after another saw that Han Ruowei was only busy digging wild vegetables, so they inevitably had to gossip.

They don't know that Han Ruowei and Xiaoying are now relying on these wild vegetables to make a living.

Han Ruowei didn't care what others said, and just dug wild vegetables on his own. In a short while, he had already dug up two whole bundles.

With these wild vegetables, at least one day's food is enough.

Back home, Han Ruowei and Xiaoying ate boiled shepherd's purse again.

This time, there are still a few grains of rice in the shepherd's purse, which can be called vegetable porridge if it is a little farfetched.

After the meal, Han Ruowei looked at the wild vegetables piled up on the ground and wanted to dry them for later consumption.

When picking up these fresh and tender wild vegetables, Han Ruowei's mind flashed a previous opinion.

These are hard to come by in later generations. Rare dishes, really wild ones, are even more sought-after.

"There are so many wild vegetables here, if you buy them in the city, you may be able to sell some change to subsidize your family."

Han Ruowei was thinking silently in her heart, and the corners of her mouth had already revealed a happy smile.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and it was impossible to take these wild vegetables to the city to sell.

The journey to the city will take at least two or three hours. By then, not only will the time pass, but the dishes will not be so fresh.

After Han Ruowei made up her mind, she dried the remaining shepherd's purse and decided to get up early tomorrow to dig some fresh wild vegetables and go to the city to try her luck.

　The price here is based on the ratio of two cents for an egg in the past seven years, compared to the current ratio of one yuan for an egg.
