Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 8: Don't Eat Too Much
Uncle Liu's family, because of Uncle Liu's status as a child, has a much higher status in the Liu family than the rest of the Liu family.

Brothers Liu Yingjun and Liu Meili can eat half a white flour steamed bun and a boiled egg every day, while brothers Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo can only eat dry pancakes.

"Niuniu, have some porridge, just swallow it..." Seeing the little girl staring at the steamed bun in Liu Yingjun's hand, Mrs. Du felt sore and astringent, so she poured out half a bowl of her porridge for her.

"Thank you, mother." Liu Qingluo looked up and smiled obediently at Mrs. Du, gulped down the porridge and cakes, and ate up the cakes in a short while, not even a single grain of rice was left in the bottom of the bowl.

The third aunt Liu Yaoping saw it and said with a smile: "It's delicious to see Niu Niu eating."

The fourth aunt Zhang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a soft voice, "Niu Niu is really easy to feed, but she can be raised up if she is clumsy..."

"Pfft..." Second Aunt Chen couldn't help laughing, and quickly suppressed her smile.

She looked at Liu Qingluo, who was chubby and round, and then at her daughter who moved softly and quietly, feeling both disdainful and proud in her heart.

In her eyes, she has always looked down on the honest and friendly elders. No matter what, she can't compare with her own men who are studying and motivated!
Mrs. Du glared at Mrs. Zhang, curled her lips and said, "We Niu Niu is indeed not as well-raised as the girl from the soy sauce shop. She has a smart mouth, can please the elders, and is good at seductive men!"

"Sister-in-law, how can you say that!" Zhang's eyes were red with anger, and he wiped them with a handkerchief.

"Why, you are allowed to speak with a clever mouth, and other people will have to suffocate to death if they have a mouth?" Du Shi disdainfully said, "Stop showing your pretentiousness, except for the fourth child, no one else will follow your tricks!"

Liu Qingluo laughed straight in her heart. In terms of verbal battles, Mrs. Zhang will never be Du's opponent.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, at this time, scholars had the highest status, followed by farmers, then craftsmen, and finally businessmen.

Although the living conditions of Du's natal family are difficult, they are real farmers, and Zhang's family is in the business of a soy sauce shop. Seriously, even if Du's natal family has a little money, their status is not comparable to that of Du's natal family.

In addition, Zhang's marriage has nothing to do until now, which violates the biggest taboo of women, so even if she is sharp and picky, she can't scold others no matter what.

Mrs. Liu patted the table and said unhappily: "Okay, you can't stop your mouths after eating! You have been making purse handkerchiefs in a hurry for the past two days, and you will go to the big market the day after tomorrow, and ask the boss to bring them to the town to sell. !"

Several daughters-in-law of the Liu family, including the third aunt Liu Yaoping, besides doing housework at home, also do needlework, embroider handkerchiefs, purses and other items, and sell them in the town to supplement the family income.

"Mother, let them sell their needles and threads in the town by themselves?" Liu Heping said with some embarrassment, "I'm an old man, it's not unreasonable to bring needles and threads to other people's shops..."

The old lady Liu stared, "What's wrong? You don't steal or rob, you still feel ashamed?"

Liu Heping lowered his head and remained silent.

Liu Qingluo rolled her eyes, and said crisply: "Grandma, can I go to town with Dad the day after tomorrow?"

"If you want to go, go, as long as you don't delay the family's cattle grazing!" Mrs. Liu didn't care much about this chubby granddaughter.

"Thank you, grandma." Liu Qingluo was very happy, stood up and left the dining table, and said to Liu Heping and Du Shi, "Father, mother, I'm going to mow the grass!"

"Hey, slow down, don't walk towards the river, and don't run too far, it's on the hillside over there..." Du Shi repeatedly urged her, and put a small basket on her back, holding almost A scythe taller than her, holding a small shovel in one hand.

"Mom, don't worry!"

Before leaving, Liu Qingluo winked at Liu Heping, expressing that she still remembered their agreement last night.

She walked out of the yard all the way, and walked towards the hillside with a large grass growing on her short legs.

When she met people in the village along the way, she greeted them with a smile and a crisp voice.

"Hey, isn't this the little girl from the Liu family? Carrying a basket and holding a sickle, what are you going to do?"

"I'll cut the grass and feed the rhubarb!" Liu Qingluo made a proud expression on purpose.

"So obedient, look at your sickle is not tall enough, carefully cut your feet and go home crying..."

A few aunts and daughter-in-laws laughed and laughed.

Liu Qingluo just laughed and laughed.

"Niu Niu, where are you going to mow the grass?" An eight or nine-year-old boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes followed, also carrying a big basket, his clothes and pants looked more torn than Liu Qingluo's...

Liu Qingluo remembered that this was a tiger in the village, an orphan who lived with an elderly grandmother and was good friends with her elder brother Liu Wenquan.

She raised her face and smiled and said, "Brother Huzi, I'm going to mow the grass over there, what are you doing?"

Huzi reached out to take her sickle, and said with a smile, "I'll also dig some weeds on the slope, and feed the pigs at home. Wen Quan said you go mowing the grass, and told me to watch over you..."

"Thank you, Brother Huzi."

Carrying baskets on her back, Liu Qingluo and Huzi came to a large sloping field beside the village. The wind blew towards them, bringing the fragrance of green grass and the fresh and moist air, which made Liu Qingluo feel a little bit clearer.

"Niu Niu, be careful, don't mow your hands, I'll help you mow the weeds after I finish digging." Hu Zi returned the sickle to her, and went to the side to dig the weeds.

Liu Qingluo knew that he and his grandma depended on each other and their life was difficult, so of course she didn't want to waste his time digging weeds, although she promised, she still dug wild vegetables seriously.

She tried her best to cut a pile of wild vegetables and piled them on the ground, and then touched the place where the platycodon flower was found the day before yesterday.

The shovel she brought came in handy.

A small piece of Platycodon grandiflora is growing very well, and almost every plant can dig out long strips of snow-white rhizomes. She put all the dug out rhizomes under the basket, which was half full, and then stopped and sat on the ground pant.

She looked at the green grass piled on the ground over there, picked up a pile, and covered the platycodon root.

"Niu Niu, have you cut so much?" Hu Zi came over with a large basket of weeds on his back, wiped off his sweat, handed her a handful of small red fruits, and said with a naive smile, "I just picked them from the book over there. Niuniu eat."

"Cherries?" Liu Qingluo's eyes lit up, she pinched one and stuffed it into her mouth, her mouth was full of sweet juice and her tongue was fragrant.

100% pure natural pollution-free green fruit...

Liu Qingluo almost swallowed it with her tongue, and while pinching the cherries from Huzi's hand to eat, she asked vaguely, "Brother Huzi, these cherries are so sweet, why don't you pick them and sell them?"

"Sell?" Huzi scratched his head, "No one would buy this kind of wild fruit. Anyway, we poor people only eat a few once in a while to enjoy ourselves, so we can't eat more."

"Why can't you eat more?"
