Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 57

Liu Ya didn't say that she would pay the one hundred Wen, but she actually felt that Liu Xu'er was weak-tempered. After hearing this, she might go to the third aunt's house to apologize, and she would have to be manipulated by others.

What's more, Liu Xu'er makes money by washing clothes, and Xiao Shu'er can only go to the mountains to chop firewood, which is not an easy job.Let them find a way to raise money, that is to let them suffer.Liu Ya still decided to rely on herself.

Seeing that Liu Ya said she was fine, Liu Xu'er was still suspicious.But she knew that she couldn't hold Liu Ya back, and her father was biased, and now even Shu'er was helping Liu Ya, so she could only keep silent.

When the three siblings entered the yard, Liu Xu'er asked Liu Ya, "Did you buy the polished rice and vegetables in the kitchen?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Yes. I heard from Xiao Shu'er that I haven't eaten rice for a long time, and our family always eats wild vegetables. We are still growing up, so how can we not eat something good."

Liu Xu'er frowned after hearing Liu Ya's words, and asked, "Then where did you get the money? Are you hunting pigweed, or picking up bird eggs?"

Before Liu Ya could answer, Liu Xu'er said again: "But even if you have some money, you can't buy polished rice. Brown rice can also fill you up. If you sieve it and blow off the husk, there will be nearly a catty of rice. It's only eight What about Wenqian. This polished rice is expensive, but it’s not the same when you eat it? There are also fresh vegetables. The small rapeseed looks so tender, so it’s not cheap, right? Potatoes can be bought, but if you buy two cabbages, you can also give them away One big potato, and it costs nothing."

Liu Xu'er finished talking, but she didn't hear Liu Ya say anything.As soon as she looked up, she saw Liu Ya take down the salted rabbit meat from the shelf, wash off the salt with water, and put it away.

Liu Xu'er knew that Liu Ya didn't listen, so she had to ask again: "I saw that you bought oil? These things add up to a lot of money, forty cash, right? What did you do? What did you do?" So much money?"

"It's just a small business, it's a coincidence." Liu Ya finally replied, but didn't say anything deeply.

Liu Xu'er pursed her lips, wanting to ask something else.Hearing Liu Ya put the hare on the chopping board and chop it up with a "bang bang".The sound of the sharp knife cutting on the chopping board made Liu Xu'er's heart shudder.Although she knew that Liu Ya was not targeting her, she swallowed the words that followed, not daring to ask any more.

Liu Shu was busy helping Liu Ya. Seeing Liu Xu'er pursed her lips and went out to do the laundry, she came to Liu Ya's side and asked softly, "Second Sister, what business did you do to earn so much money? One day You can earn dozens of pennies, which is about to catch up with Uncle Liu's business."

Seeing Xiaoshu'er's elf-like appearance, Liu Ya smiled and said: "Your eldest sister resisted asking, why did you come to ask me? The money I earned was also spent for our family, but I didn't hide anything. You have food and drink." That's fine, don't ask, don't worry about it."

"That won't work." Xiao Shu'er moved closer, and said to Liu Ya: "I'll help the second sister, let's make the stall bigger, so we can make more money."

"Little money fan." Liu Ya glared at Xiao Shu'er.But after thinking about it, my small water shop has just been set up, if the situation is not good tomorrow, I will go to other places to find ways to get money, and someone should take care of me.Then he said to Xiao Shu'er: "Since you want to know, then go to the mountain with Second Sister tomorrow. But what business does Second Sister do, we have to keep it secret."

"Okay, I'm sure I won't even tell Dad." Xiao Shu'er immediately promised.

Liu Ya nodded, and began to concentrate on picking up the hare.I had made my first sum of money today, and bought rice and vegetables to come back to celebrate, but unexpectedly, something happened, and the whole family was still hungry, which made Liu Ya feel a little unhappy.

Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Shu'er, Liu Ya quickly stewed the rice in the pot.Cut the rabbit meat into pieces, stir-fry with oil until golden brown, add water and stew for a while.Although there are no particularly complete condiments, the rabbit meat itself is fresh and tender, and the house is full of fragrance after being stewed like this.

After the rabbit meat was finished, Liu Ya put a large bowl of meat on the stove to warm it up, and then quarreled with potatoes to cook rapeseed.One meat and one vegetable, the match is quite complete.

Little Shu'er could not help swallowing her saliva long ago when she smelled the aroma of the food.

After Liu Ya put all the food on the table, Xiao Shu'er secretly pinched a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth, then ran out to call Liu Xu'er to come in for dinner.

As soon as Liu Xu'er entered the room, she couldn't help taking a big breath, her throat was dry due to the scent, and she swallowed unconsciously.

Seeing Liu Xu'er's appearance, Liu Ya smiled and said, "Elder Sister, you smell the aroma of rice this time, do you still think I wasted money?"

"Ya'er, I don't hate you, I'm just teaching you the principles of housekeeping and living. If you can really make money, who would want to eat chaff and swallow vegetables. But our family is really poor, and there is nothing to do well. To make a living, there is no other way out except relying on your hands and working hard. I am afraid that you will get the sweetness once but don't know how to save, and you will get used to spending extravagantly in the future, what can you do when you have no money?"

What Liu Xuer said was sincere and sincere, Liu Ya also listened to it.She also understands that Liu Xu'er is used to frugality, and the family has indeed been maintained by her.

Liu Ya walked over and pulled Liu Xu'er to sit at the table, first filled her with a bowl of white rice, put it in front of Liu Xu'er and said: "Eldest sister is right, Ya'er remembered it. But I still say that , I will make our family better. So from now on, you have to get used to this kind of life of eating white rice every meal."

Liu Xu'er almost twisted her nose when she heard Liu Ya's words.She also thought that Liu Ya was joking with her and didn't listen to her own words.

Seeing Liu Xu'er raised her eyebrows, Liu Ya knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Okay, Eldest Sister has had a hard day too, hurry up and eat. I'll go deliver food to Dad's house."

After speaking, Liu Ya picked up a bowl of rice and vegetables that had been served before, and went out of the kitchen to Liu Dacheng's room.

While walking, Liu Ya couldn't help but think that if she had more money in the future, she would still have to buy a wheelchair for her father.In this way, father can stroll inside and outside the house when he is free, and he can even have dinner with them.

Arriving at the door of Liu Dacheng's house, Liu Ya held the bowl in both hands, so she could only call through the door: "Father, I'm here to bring you food."

"Oh, come in." Liu Dacheng agreed.

Liu Ya squeezed sideways, pushed the door open with her elbow, and entered the room with the food.

After a day of drying and ventilating, the stale air in Liu Dacheng's room was gone. Although there was still some smell left over from years, it was not too heavy.

Liu Ya smiled and put the food aside, moved the small kang table to Liu Dacheng's side, arranged the food again, and handed the chopsticks to Liu Dacheng's hand.
