Fertile land

Chapter 79

Luo Zhi'er looked at Old Luo Tou and knew what was going on just by looking at his purple face.

His eyes rolled mischievously...

"Oh, Dad, Mom! It's not good!!!", looking behind them in panic!

Mrs. Zhou was thinking of an excuse to send her away, but was frightened by her bad voice!

He jumped up in a hurry, and so did Lao Litou, holding the bowl and jumping after him!
I looked at my heels and thought there was something under my feet?

"It's wrong? What's wrong? You Luo Zhi'er, why are you so surprised when you take the candy? It's scary!"

Zhou saw clearly that there was nothing.

I squeaked but didn’t step on chicken shit with my heel. I was so angry.
"Explain it clearly to me!"

"That's right, my third wife!"

"It scares people to death, don't you know?"

Old Li Tou was so frightened that his heart was beating rapidly. He thought a snake was about to bite him, and the smoke stick around his waist fell to the ground...

You are too old to be intimidated!He might die!He hasn't become an official yet and his father!
"Dad, I mean I know, our family definitely has a mouse!"

Luo Zhi'er patted his head and suddenly realized!

When Lao Li heard this, he shrank his head, sighed, and echoed nonchalantly: "So it turns out that this is the case, ahem... yes, that is also possible!!!"

Luo Zhi'er seemed to have made up his mind and nodded naively: "Damn stinky rat, he only picks out delicious things to eat. Why didn't he eat you to death? The designated thief is fat!"

"Well... just wait... I'll make you greedy!!!"

Lao Li narrowed his eyes and looked at her in confusion.

Luo Zhi'er said seriously: "Mom and dad, don't worry! I will definitely buy some rat poison and poison it tomorrow!"

Lao Li Tou swallowed his saliva, choked on a mouthful of dried corn paste and stared: "Cough...cough!"

I coughed for a long time before vomiting on the ground...

"You care how it disappeared? Rat poison doesn't cost money?"

Zhou said anxiously, thinking, who does this vicious fat hoof want to poison?
"Oh...Okay, I won't buy it then. Mom, as promised, don't come and rob me!"

It was as if Yubi suddenly had an idea, picked up the sugar and turned around to leave!

Mrs. Zhou spat at her back,
"Bah! Who's going to eat that crap of yours!"

She knew the hawthorn tree in the back hill was so sour!

"Return it immediately after you use it, don't let me finish it!"

Zhou's face didn't turn red, and her heart didn't beat. She couldn't help but step on her feet to say hello.

Luo Zhi'er said as she walked: "Mom, just a little sugar, you don't need to be so stingy!"

"Next time Sanmao goes to sell meat, wouldn't it be nice to weigh it by a pound?"

Call Miaomiao to go to the kitchen to make her candied haws.

Mrs. Zhou: "This fat hooves, her dad, look at her loud mouth. It's just a little sugar. You think there's no place to burn the money at home, right?"

Unfortunately, Luo Zhi'er had disappeared, so Zhou had no choice but to continue complaining.

Lao Li Tou glanced at her impatiently. He was really irritated after listening to her scolding for a while, and she jumped like a monkey.

I was so angry that I took the bowl and went to the field path. I squatted on the edge of the field and would rather listen to the crowing of frogs for the sake of peace and quiet!

Li Sanmao has nothing to do now, so he just sits in Zaoqiang to accompany her.

With a wave of her hand, she directed Li Sanmao to go chop a piece of bamboo on the slope of the backyard and come back, cut the bamboo strips for her, and sharpen the head...

She boiled the hawthorns first and fished them out. Li Sanmao came back after cutting the bamboo.

Sitting at the stove, scraping bamboo sticks with a sickle...

The two men used thin bamboo strips shaved by Li Sanmao to put them on...

Heat the pot and pour the sugar. She looked at it and poured it all in one go!

Transform water...

Arrange the skewered candied haws in a row on the plate until the water has melted and turned brown.

Use a shovel to scoop up the sugar water and pour it on the hawthorns...

"Mom, this is how candied haws on a stick is made. How do you know how to make candied haws on a stick?"

Miaomiao asked curiously.

She feels that her mother has a pair of magical hands, and no matter what ingredients are used, the food will taste delicious.

This candied haws on a stick smells sweet and is the most delicious candied haws in the world, better than those sold in town.

Although she hasn't eaten it, she can't help but drool when she smells it...

"Well... Isn't this difficult? Some things can be roughly understood once you see them."

"Besides, hey! Your mother was a real snack when she was little!"

Spread your hands, quite confident!

The meaning of that posture is very simple.

Li Sanmao looked at her childish look and shook his head helplessly...

After a few minutes, the candied haws will cool down.

Luo Zhi'er gave two skewers to Miao Miao and one skewer to Li Sanmao, and the two couldn't help but eat.

"It's delicious, mother."

Li Sanmao: "Daughter-in-law, this looks better than the ones sold in town, and it tastes better too!"

"Thank you husband and Miaomiao for the compliment!" Li Sanmao giggled: "Haha!"

At this time, Mu Qing ran in, timidly looked at the candied haws on the plate, swallowed his saliva and said, "Third Aunt, can you give me a bunch of these candied haws?"

Luo Zhi'er turned around and saw that this kid didn't even eat the steamed bread and didn't cry.

Seeing that she was making delicious food, he couldn't help but ran over and took three skewers from the plate: "Of course, here, this one is for you, this one is for Yun Liang, and this one is for Liu Liu!"

"Thank you, Third Aunt!"

Mu Qing took the candied haws and licked it first, then happily ran out to find his younger brothers and sisters.

Luo Zhi'er thought for a while, then gave Miao Miao and Li Sanmao another skewer, took the plates and went out, when Zhou came to meet them...

They almost bumped into each other, but Luo Zhi'er walked around her to get out!
"Stop, where is the sugar?"

"Tell me, have you finished using the sugar?"

Before Luo Zhi'er could say anything, Mrs. Zhou saw the bag thrown beside the stove and immediately cursed:

"You prodigal bitch, I've already given you some advice so you can save yourself some time and you'd better finish it!"

"Where are your ears? You're trying to make me angry on purpose!"

With a slap on his thigh, he was about to fall to the ground again and start rolling! ! !
"Stop!"

"Mom, is this the way to use it? Please stop acting!"

"Didn't I tell you? I'll weigh you a pound and come back. I'll weigh it for you tomorrow. It's worth a pound for a little bit. Why are you in a hurry?"

Yubi, go out!
"Are you going to weigh a pound? Where did the money come from?" Zhou grasped the key point, jumped up, chased after her and looked at her strangely...

Suddenly I remembered something,
"Well, you fat hooves, tell me, did you have a secret affair last time?"

"No!"

"Then you said we weighed a pound? Don't use the money you get from selling the fungus oil tomorrow..."

It felt wrong to say this. After all, the deposit had already been paid. "Is there anything else you haven't confessed honestly?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as I can weigh you a pound!"

Impossible. A pound of sugar costs eight cents. Where did she get eight cents?

"Impossible, that's right! I just heard Mu Qingyunliang say today that they got pens, ink and paper. Did you buy them?"

I was so busy back home that I didn’t have time to ask yet!

"Hmph! I want to ask, what's going on? Tell me! Why don't you tell me honestly where the money came from?"

"Where did it come from? Didn't I give you the deposit from the last time I sold the chicken fir fungus oil? Shopkeeper Zhu gave me a reward of thirty Wen, so I bought a book for Mu Qing Yunliang. Is there any problem?"

After Luo Zhi'er finished speaking, she walked straight out and saw Li Daqiang sitting obediently in the yard enjoying the cool air.

He was fanning himself with a palm fan in his hand, watching Mu Qing Yunliang eating candied haws...

She went over and asked, "Brother, where is dad?"

"Went on the road..."

"Brother, you should try this too..."

Li Daqiang didn't expect that he also had it, "Haha, eh!"

I took it and took a bite. It was sour and appetizing inside, and it was really sweet with a layer of syrup on the outside!

His childhood dream was to eat candied haws on a stick, but it seemed that it had never come true...

Ha ha!

Tastier than expected.

I gave it to Li Daqiang and then went to find Old Li Tou. I found it on the edge of a dark field and gave him a bunch too!
When the two came back, Mrs. Zhou was still in the yard, pointing fingers at mulberry trees and scolding mulberry trees!

"You bitch! What are you scolding again? Are you done yet?"

When Mrs. Zhou saw Lao Litou eating candied haws with bulging cheeks and scolding her for Luo Zhi'er, her face turned pale with anger...

"Old man, you were fooled by this fat hoof!"

"She not only got 15 taels last time, she also got a reward, but she didn't tell us honestly!"

Shout out sharply!
Old Li Tou looked at Luo Zhi'er in confusion, "My third daughter-in-law, is this possible?"

"Dad, shopkeeper Zhu thought I was a real person and thought my chicken fungus oil was good, so he casually gave me [-] renminbi as a reward. I bought pens, ink and paper for Mu Qing Yunliang for more than [-] renminbi, and gave Liu Liumiao Miao spent five cents on the flower head, so she didn’t hide anything!"

Luo Zhi'er had already thought about this matter. If she didn't tell her, Mu Qing Yunliang would have to wear the pen and Liuliu Miaomiao's hair.

No matter how you know it, just say it’s a reward!

"Look, if I don't ask today, I don't know about this at all. No, don't go deliver the goods tomorrow, I'll go!"

Zhou jumped so high that she was going to deliver goods. If there was another reward, wouldn't she be put to sleep again?
"Also, take out the rest of your reward as soon as possible. Don't try to hide anything!"

"Mom, didn't I tell you the rest? I'll weigh the sugar for you..."

"No need, you will be at home tomorrow and I will weigh myself!"

Old Li Tou didn't stop him, nor did he say anything. After all, it was a reward given to Luo Zhi'er by the shopkeeper of Yumanlou. They couldn't justify it by forcefully snatching it away.

It would be shameless to spread the word!
However, it is impossible for her to keep it, and there is no separation...

After opening this mouth, the family will actually hide their secrets from now on!

Let the old woman be the villain!

Luo Zhi'er seemed to see his thoughts and said calmly,
"Dad, do you also think that the few remaining pennies I have on me should be given to my mother?"

Lao Li looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that she would ask him directly...

"Uh... Third daughter-in-law, you know, our Lao Li family is not divided. Your mother is keeping this money. The amount of money is not important. The important thing is that it cannot be scattered... After all, a little adds up to a lot!"
