happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 71

Shen Yunfang got the remittance slip and went to the county the next day.

With the letter of introduction from Uncle Shen, the matter went smoothly.

After thinking for a while, she turned a corner and went to the purchasing station. She was going to see sister Jiang Hui. She didn't have any contacts in the county. She finally met a capable person, and she was able to talk to him, but not much. Walk around and connect with each other.

It's not easy to go empty-handed, so she took some wild vegetables from the space, which she dug up when she was herding sheep. The wild vegetables on the mountain have just sprouted, and they are not big, but it's a bad idea to take them out.

When we arrived at the purchasing station, only Jiang Hui was there, and the two of them were very affectionate. Jiang Hui might have done it for the sake of the small basket of wild vegetables (it was the time when the vegetables were not harvested, and even the cabbages and potatoes were gone. I can only live on pickled vegetables), or if I really sleep with Shen Yunfang, in short, I talk to Shen Yunfang very enthusiastically.

From Jiang Hui's mouth, I know that Shen Yunfang's eldest sister, Shen Yunfeng, often asks for leave during this period. Either she has a stomachache today, or she has to go to the hospital tomorrow. Fortunately, the purchasing station is not busy at this time, and Xue Jialong will also come. I went to argue with Shen Yunfeng.

Shen Yunfang secretly rejoiced, fortunately her cousin was not here, otherwise it would be really embarrassing for her to come here with a basket of wild vegetables, she really forgot about this cousin, okay?

After chatting with Jiang Hui for a while, Shen Yunfang came out again. She saw that the weather was so good and she still had so much time, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative on a whim.

Then I couldn't control myself, and spent a few dollars to buy several small jars.

She thought, didn't Li Hongjun tell her to go to the army to see him during the Chinese New Year? She couldn't go there empty-handed, she thought about what she could bring him, and that was wine.

It turned out that the jars she bought were all packed in fifty catties, and she certainly couldn't take that much at one time, so she had to buy a few of these small jars, and it would be fun to pack a jar for him when the time came.

She also planted a lot of garlic this year, and when she comes down, she wants to pickle some sweet garlic, so she can bring him a few too.

He should also like chili sauce, so he has to pack it into a jar.

She is best at making sour cowpea, and she has to decorate it no matter what.I calculated in my heart, this decoration, that decoration, I bought too much of this jar.

When she walked to the door of the house with these jars on her back, she found Aunt Shen standing at the door of her courtyard, stepping on her feet and looking inside.

"Auntie is here, what's the matter?" Shen Yunfang walked up to her, didn't see her notice, and stretched her neck to look in, so she had no choice but to speak.

Compared with the troublesome Second Aunt Shen and the philistine Second Aunt, Shen Yunfang still likes the fake Aunt Shen. No matter what she does, she can get by on the surface. Some words don't need to be said too clearly, she knows what they mean, so that she won't tear her face.

Aunt Shen was looking in, and was startled by the sudden voice behind her, she patted her chest and kept shouting "Oh my god."

"Oh my god, I was scared to death, you child, why are you walking silently." Aunt Shen who turned her head saw that it was Shen Yunfang, and muttered.

It's not that I walked silently, it's that you were too intent on peeping.Shen Yunfang rolled her eyes slightly.

"Auntie, is there something for me?" Shen Yunfang put the basket on her back on the ground, took out the key from her pocket, and unlocked the courtyard door.

Only then did Aunt Shen remember that she seemed to be caught peeping just now, and she was a little embarrassed, but she recovered immediately without medicine after seeing the basket on the ground.

"It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter that you haven't come to the house for the past few days. Come and take a look. You are not angry with your uncle. What are you buying?" She glanced at the basket curiously and said.

"It just happened that I went to the county to withdraw money. I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, so I went to buy a few jars." Shen Yunfang took the initiative to open the sack on it for the aunt to see.

Aunt Shen poked her head around and saw that there were really a few pots, so she was not interested, but she still complained to Shen Yunfang in her heart, she really can't live a life, the money is not warm in her hand, it is useless to buy it s things.

"Why do you buy this old one, Yunfang, don't think it's bothering you, you have to live on a budget, by the way, why do you still lock the courtyard door?" What she wanted to ask was what good things do you have in your house, and you still use a lock? .

The previous few times she came, Yunfang was at home, so she didn't see the lock.

"Doesn't this house raise pigs? If I'm not at home, it's better to lock the door for safety." Shen Yunfang put the basket under the wall, and she will go to the backyard to wash when she has time.

Originally, she wanted to let Aunt Shen sit in the room, but after entering the yard, Aunt Shen went directly to the backyard, "I'll go and see how old Piggy is now."

Shen Yunfang ignored her, as soon as she washed her hands, Aunt Shen ran back like the wind.

"Yunfang, what did you feed the pig so it grows so fast?" It's been about a month, but the little pig looks to be sixty to seventy catties, much better than her own. "Hey, why are there so many chickens?" She was stunned again by the chickens all over the kang.

Shen Yunfang moved the wooden box inside, and motioned for Aunt Shen to sit beside her.

"I didn't feed anything, just swill and bran. I bought these chickens at the market two days ago." Of course her pigs grow faster than other pigs. What they feed and what they feed themselves , then it is not on the same level.

"Why do you raise so many chickens, can you afford to feed them?" The chicken was more shocked than the pig, so her attention was attracted by the chicken.

"Let's deal with it. These days, I will go to the mountains to dig more wild vegetables and feed a little food, so I can feed them. Besides, it is not sure whether such a small amount of chickens can be raised." At this time, the pest control technology is very weak. So whether the livestock can grow up or not depends on God's will. Whoever raises chickens must die a few.

Some people raise ten chickens in the spring, and it would be good to have three or four chickens left after the Chinese New Year.

"Well, as long as you know it yourself." Aunt Shen didn't say much, although she didn't think so.It's not that easy, if, as she said, the old chickens could be raised by cutting two handfuls of vegetables, then she would have raised them long ago.

But seeing these little chicks, she had another idea in her mind.

"Yunfang, you raise so many chickens at once, is there any food shortage at home?"

"It's lacking, it must be. What the hell, you're going to sell me some food." Shen Yunfang understood what she meant.If there is food to buy, it's okay.

"Although it's difficult, ma'am, you need it, and I... also need it, so of course I have to sell food." Just now she wanted to say that I have to sell you even if I am in trouble, but she was afraid that she would be rejected like last time, so she hurriedly said Abducted back again. "But only corn."

In fact, the last time the food was sold out, so many people in the family would have enough to eat until the beginning of autumn. If they were selling now, they would have to drink water for two out of three meals a day.

But compared with money, these are nothing.

When Shen Yunfang heard this, it was great. She was thinking of brewing some wine for storage. Didn’t everyone say that the more the wine is kept, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more it is hidden, the purer it is? She took advantage of this time to brew more wine, so it will taste better in the future point.

Besides, she just bought another [-] catties of rice from Erzhu's wife two days ago, which should be enough for a while.

"Okay, ma'am, thank you for coming today. If it's only two days, even if I want to buy it, I won't have enough money." She first said that she didn't have much money, so don't keep thinking about it. No matter how many secrets there are in the family, you can't hide them.It's best not to come and live their own lives.

"That's right. Buying food is a serious matter. You have to save other things if you can. How hard it is to earn money." Aunt Shen also sighed.

"That's right, ma'am, the last time I bought food at your house, everyone knows about it. If I hadn't been so excited, I would have folded it, and both of us would have been accused of speculating and going to the streets." , I still have to beat and beat.

Aunt Shen's eyes flickered, and she quickly assured: "Who is this with such a big mouth, next time you hear such words, you can slap her, slap her hard, it's okay, you have the aunt to make decisions for you, we will never admit it Don't worry about this, no one will know this time."

Afterwards, when it was getting dark, Mrs. Shen personally brought a hundred catties of corn to Shen Yunfang, and happily left with ten yuan.

In this way, she spent another ten yuan to buy a hundred catties of corn.Adding in the 37 catties of rice bought from Erzhu's wife two days ago, the [-] yuan that Li Hongjun mailed was gone before warming it up in his pocket.

Why is this money so useless?
