The leisurely life of rebirth.

It was almost noon, when grandma came back from the neighbor's house, she and Fang Monan plunged into the kitchen to 'busy' for lunch, and my mother wanted to help, but my aunt and grandma kicked them out one by one, and pulled them out by the other.

Mr. Lin and Dad were idle in his room, playing chess together.

My aunt told my mother: "Don't go, now the kitchen is our mother and Nan Nan's world, and no one can get in."

"Oh! Then let's get out the fabric and make another dress for Nannan. I don't think one is enough." My mother was dragged into the house by my aunt with doubts.In winter, I have to make two more coats, corduroy jackets and corduroy pants. Children's clothes are very simple, and my mother can make them in an afternoon.

"Okay! It's still a while before lunch time, just cut it out." The aunt nodded hurriedly. [

In fact, cooking is very simple for Fang Monan now, with a spacious kitchen, once the mind is opened, a table of meals will be arranged soon.The rest of the time I stayed in the kitchen with my grandma and chatted.

"Grandma, have you figured out where to build the kitchen?" Fang Monan was in the space, which did not affect the conversation with grandma.

"Well! I've thought about it, let's build it in the aisle leading to the backyard from our north house. There is just enough space there. There are more stoves, which can also benefit our north room and Mr. Lin's main room, so that You won’t be exposed to the cold in winter either. You have to discuss with your dad about what to do, he’s in the construction team, so he should understand.” This is the plan that grandma came up with after thinking about it in her heart. "We have a heated kang in our house, don't be afraid. Winter is coming now, if those two rooms are also warmed up, it will be convenient for you to study."

"Yeah! At noon, I'll add up." Fang Monan also thinks this is a good idea. "By the way, grandma asked my dad to tidy up the backyard. The autumn harvest is over and the weather is getting colder. Let's grow some greenhouse vegetables."

"Greenhouse vegetables, what are they?" Grandma asked suspiciously.

"Oh! What I mean is to grow some greenhouse vegetables, such as cucumbers, leeks, tomatoes, spinach, rapeseed, etc. I haven't done this thing in detail, but it's very simple. It's just strips and plastic film. It's cheap, just The open space in our backyard doesn’t cost a lot of money.”

"That's it. Build adobe walls on each of the four sides, about two or three feet high, and then build a frame with strong strips..." Fang Monan came out of the space, holding a branch and making an arc on the ground .

"Then cover it with plastic film. Although the temperature is low in winter, it doesn't rain often. There is plenty of sunlight. The greenhouse can absorb the sun's temperature. The temperature inside the greenhouse is higher than outside. Cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks, spinach, etc. can all grow... …In this way, we can almost eat it after the winter solstice.” In this year and month, in addition to cabbage, radish, and potato, green leafy vegetables are rarely seen in winter.

"Hmm! It sounds feasible. After lunch, they made up the sum..." Grandma didn't finish speaking when she heard shouts from outside.

"Auntie, are you home?" Sun Youcheng stood in the yard and shouted loudly.

The people in the room heard someone calling, and my aunt went out to have a look, "Brother Dacheng, why are you here?" "Mom, Brother Dacheng is here."

Grandma opened the kitchen door, looked at her and said, "I see, you go and greet them first, my meal will be ready soon."

The door closed with a 'bang', and grandma saw that there were no people in the kitchen, so she had to say to the air: "Someone is here at home, and I am cooking more meals."

"Yeah! I heard it, I know it." Fang Monan replied.

Mr. Lin and Dad also came out of the house.

"Ah! You're all here! Just go out with me to pick up things." Sun Youcheng greeted them.

Several people came out of the yard and stood on the street, and saw Sun Youcheng's younger brother, Youxin, tying a mule cart with a stone sitting on it, holding a big basket in his arms, covered with a towel.There is half a bag of noodles next to it.There are also two live old hens tied up.

Sun Youcheng told them to take the things on the mule cart and sneak in.

Fang Monan also prepared meals here. Originally, she made chicken soup ramen, but when someone came, she made some rice and fried a few dishes. Anyone who wanted to eat could eat whatever they wanted. [

The men entered the house together with their things, and the grandma asked the mother and aunt to carry the lunch, and the good bowls and chopsticks also entered the house.

Sun Youcheng put down the things in his hand, "These are all from home, they are very fresh."

Grandma saw a large basket of eggs, at least twenty catties in weight. "Da Chengzi, what are you doing with the eggs? If you don't keep them for the children to eat, they can be exchanged for the children's tuition fees!"

Sun Youcheng said with a smile: "Auntie, no need, the children in the family are almost tired of eating, we sell a lot in the town, and these are freshly picked. You don't know, since you left, Auntie... "

Grandma interrupted his long speech, "Eat first, and chat while eating." Everyone sat down together and listened to Sun Youcheng while eating.

After Fang Monan heard it, it turned out that the stone was quite trustworthy, catching earthworms and feeding them to the chickens every day, so the chickens not only grew fast, but the egg production also increased, and the family members were puzzled!One day, I caught Shi Shi who was feeding chickens and heard his words.Sun Youcheng is a caring person. Not only did he sell some larger hens, he mobilized the whole family to dig earthworms all over the ground.Of course, the results are remarkable. When the weather is cold, the production of eggs has come down. Today I went to the market to sell the last batch of eggs, and then I came to see my aunt. Thank you, it’s too late.

Fang Monan patted Shi Shi's head in relief, "Boy, you are very capable."

"Auntie, I heard from Shitou that you taught her the method." Sun Youcheng stood up and said.

"Hmm! I taught it, and I heard it from others. I didn't expect it to work." Grandma looked at Fang Monan, what must have happened in the country, and she will ask later!

'Hey, this kid didn't betray her. 'I guess I dare not!If you want to ask the reason, if the cause and effect are not explained, you will be exposed.That's why it's on grandma, you're smart.Fang Monan patted Shi Shi on the shoulder, smiling very cutely.

But the feeling of the stone is chilly, shrunk down, and continued to eat hard.

After eating a meal, Sun Youcheng also had an understanding of the life of his aunt and the others in the past few months, which was also shown at the dinner table of his aunt's house.Hearing that they were going to build a kitchen, he volunteered to stay and help. In the village, anyone who built a house would hire him, and he would do some masonry work.Then let the younger brother go home by himself, and the mule cart stayed, and if something happened, he could come up with something or something.

It can be said that Shitou was forced to study by Fang Monan when he first started, and gradually discovered the benefits brought about by the improvement of his grades. At least his parents were happier and he was beaten less.When his mother chatted with the women in the village, his face was literally smiling.Seeing his mother's stinky fart, he felt that he had to learn well to make the family smile more, and besides, he really liked learning after getting into it.

Taking advantage of the autumn vacation, he also wanted to thank Fang Monan, so he stayed.

After dinner, the men discussed how to build the kitchen, and grandma explained the guidance and things in the backyard, and then left to see how the face was doing.It's getting dark early, so it's better to steam earlier.

Fang Monan held a rolling pin in his hand and surrounded his grandma and mother, "Use this, two people to press the dough." She pointed to the dough on the chopping board, and the two of them worked hard together, pressing and stacking the dough, the effect was the same as hands Knead the dough just as well. "Then knead into long strips and cut into squares with a knife, saving effort."

Mom thought about it, took the rolling pin, looked at grandma and said, "Why don't we try."

With the help of tools, it really saves time and effort, and soon four pots of steamed buns came out, more than 100, steaming hot and soft.

Put the steamed buns into a large dustpan and cover with a quilt made of new flowers to keep warm.The two moved to the car, and then grandma took the clothes.

"Mom, I can go today, you can take a rest." Mom grabbed the light pink dress and put it on. "Mom, this dress." She pointed to the picture on her chest. It was very festive, but it should be better for a child, and it is not suitable for an adult.

"Why, it's very good. This painting was drawn by your daughter, and no one else can ask for it." Grandma looked at the mother in the big apron with a smile. "You'll know what it's useful for when you put it on." She patted her head, "By the way, remind people who come to the steamed buns to tell them that our stall will be placed in front of Lao Motou's house the day after tomorrow. This is the most important thing. Don't forget." She reminded carefully and repeatedly.

When my mother heard that it was painted by Fang Monan, it was unbelievable. She just hasn't seen the child for three months, and the change is so great.It was too late to care about anything, put it on, and drove away in the car, of course, it was more proud and proud. [

Half an hour later, my mother came back happily in the car. It turned out that the person painted on the apron was really special. "Mom, I went to sell steamed buns. They only recognized the painting on my body, and didn't see that the clothes I was wearing were changed. But some of them recognized me as your daughter."

"Hehe... believe it now! I'm back so soon, there must be a lot of people!" Grandma guessed.

"Hmm! There are a lot of people who didn't buy it, and when they left, they turned around every step of the way." Mom nodded. She just heard yesterday that she didn't pay much attention to it, but today it has changed a lot.Unexpectedly, there was such a big profit in this small stall, so she handed over the money to her grandma.

*****************************

When grandma was busy steaming steamed buns and selling steamed buns, my father, mother, and auntie took pickaxes and iron tongs to measure, pull wires, and dig foundations at the place grandma said.Mr. Lin and Da Chengzi drove the mule cart to buy cement, gravel and sand.There are ready-made ones behind the red bricks. It is not enough to build two main rooms, but it is just right to build a kitchen. There are also ready-made beams.

The mother tugged at the auntie's arm, and asked in a low voice: "We are building the kitchen, obviously there is not enough manpower, do you need to invite elder brother back?"

"I said sister! Don't mention this, you don't know yet! I have been here twice, and he won't let our mother do it! It's embarrassing for him to dislike him." Xiaoyan looked disgusted. "Ah! Bah! What a shame, it's not that he doesn't respect the elderly, our mother has to set up a stall to earn money at such an age, afraid that others will point fingers behind him and make irresponsible remarks."

The mother asked curiously, "Why did our mother figure it out this time?" She looked at the aunt in doubt. According to the previous situation, as long as the boss said anything, her mother would definitely agree to anything.

The aunt put on a gesture of counting money, "This is very attractive." Then she said: "Also, I go to school. If I go to college, the pressure will be even greater. That's why our mother continued to work." She didn't expect her Mom will continue to work. It seems that her mother is finally on her side this time, and she still loves her in her heart. Thinking of this little aunt, she feels happy.

"By the way, sister, I think you are very active, and you don't object at all." My aunt asked suspiciously.

"It's not that I don't know what's going on in our family. It's better for our mother to find a job, so I won't be idle every day, crying and thinking wildly while looking at our father's photos." My mother said, "This can also alleviate I have no reason to refuse our burden." What my mother said was realistic, but it was also true. "For our mother, you have to study hard."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to win my breath." My aunt said, shaking her fist.

"Stop muttering, both of you, and work quickly." Dad yelled.

"Hey! Here we come." Mother and aunt responded.

Fang Monan was dragged to the backyard by the stone, and of course Mobei had to follow, so as not to let her interfere with the adults' work.Fang Monan looked at the twisted stone, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

He lowered his head, then quickly looked up at her, "I'm sorry, and thank you."

"Oh! I'm sorry for what, thank me for what!" Fang Monan said maliciously, if he wanted to apologize, he said it quickly, like a big girl, he was not at all straightforward.

"I'm sorry, I once bullied you in my house. Thank you for the matter of Dilong feeding the chickens." Shitou looked at her smiling, took a deep breath, and said simply.

"I'm leaving, how is your homework?" Fang Monan smiled cutely.

"My homework is improving by leaps and bounds, and the teacher even praised me, saying that I have made rapid progress." Shitou said happily with his chest upright.

"Oh! That's great! You are at my house these few days, so come study with us!" Fang Monan said kindly.

In Stone's eyes, it was Little Red Riding Hood who fell into Grandma Wolf's house, shivering with a chill down her spine, "Okay!"

The men were busy building the kitchen, and later they joined the neighbors to help out. They took care of a meal at noon. Grandma bought a lot of pork for extra meals, and everyone had plenty of strength.Grandma and mother are busy steaming steamed buns, and my aunt is busy going to school.Mr. Lin took Fang Monan, Mobei, and Shitou to study and study in the house.During the construction of the kitchen, my uncle never visited grandma's house once.

I worked overtime at night to build the kitchen, and finally built it in two days and it was almost usable.The kitchen is a rectangle, as tall as a person, with two large rural-style stoves side by side. The outside of the stove is covered with white bricks, which are shiny and clean.Because the area is small, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and it is easy to clean with facing tiles.

Coal is burned in the stove, which has high heat and steams quickly.Next to the fire, two large water tanks were repaired and used as pools. It is much more convenient to use hot water. If it is hot here in winter, Fang Monan would not be cold if he wanted to take a bath here.

Dad thought of a way, the heat emitted by this chimney cannot be wasted, and he also installed "heating" for Mr. Lin's room, and set up a shelf for the vegetables in the backyard, covering it with plastic film.

When Sun Youcheng saw the vegetable shed behind them, he also felt itchy in his heart. After asking about it, he calculated the account in his hand and hesitated.Fang Monan asked his grandma to come forward and tell them a way that doesn't cost money.Just after the autumn harvest, I got some whole corn stalks from the ground and put them on the shelf. I took them down when it was warm during the day, and covered them when it was cold at night.In this way, you can keep warm and eat fresh vegetables in winter.He nodded after hearing it, and tried to play with it when he went back.

Three days passed quickly, and it was a hard three days for Shitou. He thought that he could feel proud in front of Fang Monan this time, but he didn't expect the result. Mr. Lin and Auntie Lin could only show sympathy for Shitou. tears.Compared with these non-humans in their family, they are courting death.

Before Shi Shi left to say goodbye, the other party, Mo Nan, challenged him, and he would definitely win her next time.

Fang Monan encouraged him: "Little Shitou, go back and study hard, I'll wait for you to defeat me." After he finished speaking, he raised his chin, looking arrogant, which really made Shitou's teeth itch with hatred.

"Hmph...you wait." Shitou said with full fighting spirit.

"Very good. Very fighting spirit." Mr. Lin patted him on the head happily. He liked this silly and stubborn little guy very much.

When Shi Shi and the others came, the mule cart was loaded with agricultural products. When they returned, grandma was very willing to pack a bag of rice, apples and dried fruits in a basket.Fang Monan made a small portion of the fruits in the space into candied fruits, too fresh fruits would be eye-catching.And these candied fruits are said to be bought by my mother from the city.In addition, the jujubes, pomegranates and fabrics on the trees in the yard are also full.Seeing them disappear at the intersection, everyone also went back.
