Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 55 Shock
The fourth child's family didn't follow, it's so good, it's exactly what they want!
Since ancient times, the fragrance of the far and the smell of the near, especially those unsatisfactory and selfish descendants, the farther away from other children and grandchildren, the better!Whether there is a relationship or not is really not that important!

The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, but the festive atmosphere in Shanqian Village is not very strong. Even at home, I haven't heard my mother say that I want to make zongzi or make glutinous rice cakes.

Da Ya was very surprised, so she asked Liu Xiangchun: "Mom, it's the Dragon Boat Festival, what delicious food do people in Wudaoliang cook?"

Liu Xiangchun said sadly: "Wudaoliang is a deep mountain, and food is very precious. Even cabbage and radishes have to be bought outside the mountain. When my mother was young, I remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival, your grandma would go to the mountain to pick red bayberry and other Wild fruit, let the family eat enough! Also, just boil a few red eggs, and the rest will be gone, it’s good to have a stutter every day!"

At that time, my family was poor, with so many brothers and sisters, and so many mouths.A half-grown boy can make his family poor!There is no oil or water. The prey that father and elder brother hunt will be sold to people in nearby villages who specialize in harvesting mountain goods, so that they can exchange some salt, grain, and cloth, lamp oil, etc.

Thinking of the hard times in the past, Liu Xiangchun couldn't help but get red eyes.

In the past ten years, she, the daughter who married into Shanqian Village, did not help her family at all.In the eyes of Wu Daoliang's people, her in-law's family is a wealthy family with dozens of acres of land and a large brick house. Isn't it a small rich family?Even in the eyes of the people in Shanqian Village, they are definitely living a better life.

But what did she pay for her parents who gave birth to her and raised her, and her brothers and sisters who loved her and protected her since she was a child?Nothing!Ten years have been like a day, and even a single needle and thread has never been obtained by her family!
Fortunately, she gave birth to a good daughter, Da Ya, who has done her filial piety on her behalf!Otherwise, maybe she will feel indebted to her natal family for the rest of her life.Maybe in this life, I will have no face to go back to my mother's house.And father and mother will be separated from each other by the fourth brother's family all their lives, and they will talk about her disregard for her mother's family.If that's the case, how would the honest and honest mother feel aggrieved?

The fourth daughter-in-law is not stingy, but she, the eldest daughter, has indeed not paid anything for her natal family. What words can the mother use to stop the fourth daughter-in-law from laughing and cursing?Mother is pitiful, it's her unfilial daughter who made mother sad for ten years!
Now, my mother has also moved to Shanqian Village, and the family has this condition again.From now on, she will make up for her mother and honor her mother well!With a flash of thought, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and said to her daughter: "Yue'er, for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow, mother wants to make more egg pancakes and radish cakes, and grab two more chickens and give them as gifts." For your grandma’s house! The pancakes and radish cakes are better than your mother’s, so it’s hard work!"

The grandma's family she mentioned naturally included the uncle and uncle's two families.Now, the uncle and the fifth uncle are two independent families separated from each other!It was Da Ya's proposal to separate the family. When buying land and building a house, it was intentionally or unintentionally divided into two families under Da Ya's auspices.Now that the uncle's family has moved in, there is no reason to form another family!

It is better to separate, otherwise, after a long time, various frictions and contradictions will arise again.Because of the separation of the family, my grandfather was not very happy, but fortunately, my grandmother firmly supported it.

After hearing what mother said, the eldest girl couldn't help but have black lines all over her head: After the Dragon Boat Festival, as a gift to grandma's house, just send egg pancakes and radish cakes?She inquired about it round and round, but was really disappointed: People in this place don't know what a zongzi is, and they only make three or two kinds of rice cakes for Chinese New Year!
Alas, it's all caused by poverty!I believe that in other relatively affluent villages, the pastries made during festivals and Chinese New Year will be much richer.Now, what kind of cakes are good to make at home?Make zongzi?That's unrealistic. So far, she hasn't found any place in the mountains that has zong leaves!

She took a few steps in the yard, and when she lowered her head, a familiar weed came into view.Immediately, she suddenly had an idea: by the way, let's be Ai Ye Guoguo!
Just do it!She took the initiative to ask Ying: "Mother, I saw a kind of delicious fruit from the gods, why don't we make mugwort fruit!"

Liu Xiangchun was a little hesitant: "What are the things you need to make Aiye Guoguo? Do you have them at home? If not, is it expensive to buy them?"

I am used to being poor, and her first reaction to new things is whether it is expensive, whether it is worth it, whether it is too extravagant.She has been used to living a frugal life since she was a child, and after marrying Rao Shouqin, the days of each month are more bitter than Huanglian.She is as tired as an old scalper every day, but she often doesn't even have enough to eat. The family can smell meat every few days, but she can count the meat that comes to her mouth all year round with one palm!Therefore, she really doesn't care much about eating and drinking, as long as she is full!
There is no better mother than a daughter.How could Da Ya not know about these little things in her heart?However, there is nothing lacking in the family now, and she lives so frugally, Da Ya can't help laughing and crying.

"Aniang, don't worry! The materials of this mugwort leaf fruit are not expensive at all. It is made of mugwort leaves, japonica rice, and glutinous rice with sugar! Moreover, mugwort leaves in this season are used to make mugwort fruit. Appropriate! Why don't we just make mugwort fruit and use it to honor grandma and grandpa, I guarantee that grandpa and grandma will like it very much!"

ah?Do you still need glutinous rice and sugar?He also said that it is not expensive, but the glutinous rice and sugar are very expensive!However, the daughter has already said that it is not expensive, and the money in the family is basically earned by the daughter.At this time, if she objected, wouldn't it be too much to slap her daughter in the face?

Oh, forget it, just promise her!
Liu Xiangchun gritted her teeth, and agreed cruelly: "Okay! Let's make mugwort leaf fruit, but it's a bit hot now, so don't make so many, so as not to spoil it!" Okay, but I really can't say this.

Da Ya had her own ideas, and said in disapproval: "It can't be too little, if you want to send it to grandpa's house, grandparents must also send it, and there are also several families with good relations in the village, the Lizheng family and the patriarch's family. Uncle Su’s place in Jicui Building can’t be less. If the young owner comes back, he will send more. The owner of Baicaotang will also give it away. After all, the price of goji berries they give every time is very fair, so I have to thank him for not bullying others By the way, there is also Moxiangzhai's shopkeeper Yue..."

The eldest girl snapped her fingers, counting the treasures, and Liu Xiangchun's head grew big when she heard it.Her smiling face collapsed immediately, and she looked at her daughter with a sad face, trying to say something against it, but it was stuck in her throat.

Oh, it's terrible, if you calculate it like this, thirty catties of japonica rice, ten catties of glutinous rice, and three catties of sugar may not be enough!The glutinous rice cakes made this time are more than the total glutinous rice cakes she made at home in the 11 years in Shanqian Village!
Da Ya didn't wait for her to say something objecting, so she waved her hand vigorously: "Brother, it's still early for lunch, you and I go to the town to buy glutinous rice and sugar." Then he ordered Xiang Xi: "You go and have a meal." Go to grandma’s house, call my cousins ​​and sisters, and go pick mugwort leaves together! Want fresh and tender ones, pick more, and leave my cousins ​​at home for lunch. In the afternoon, my eldest brother and I will come back, and we will make mugwort leaves together!”

Before Xiangxi could speak, Erya had already happily ran away: "I'll go, I'll go to my grandma's house to call my cousin, and my second brother will go to the wild to pick mugwort leaves first!"

Xiang Xi smiled dotingly, and didn't bother with her, he really went to find a basket and went out to pick mugwort leaves by himself.

At this time, Xiangdong had already harnessed the ox cart quickly, and drove out from the backyard: "Yue'er, get in the car!" Today, it was the first time he drove the ox cart for a long distance, and he only walked around here before. Here I am.

This bullock cart was bought a few days ago. Da Ya asked Uncle Wu to go to the bull market to help buy it.Uncle Wu understands the market of cattle and what cattle are good for, and he is kind and affectionate. It is really most appropriate to entrust him with full responsibility for buying cattle.

"Hey, come here!" Da Ya hurried to the kitchen, filled two gourds of cool white leaves with a small gourd, and filled a small bag of salted and dried peanuts, and was walking towards the ox cart.Originally, she wanted to find Xia Zhi to drive the car, but seeing how excited her elder brother was, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Brother is so small, can he do it?At the time of crisis, cousin Yunwu came over.Hearing that the brother and sister were going to go to the town for a big purchase, their faces turned pale with fright, and they taught Xiang Dong a lesson with a straight face.

"Hey, what's going on here? How old are you? You're not even ten years old, and you're only so tall. How dare you drive a bullock cart to the city? Besides, my younger sister is going too, so you don't have to worry about scaring her. Hurry up and sit in the back for me, and I will drive the ox cart!" Without any explanation, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Dong's bullwhip, and pulled him off the driving seat, and sat down by himself. up.

Yunwu was four years older than Xiangdong, and he ate much better than Xiangdong when he was young. Although Xiangdong had no shortage of food or drink in the past six months, his foundation was very weak when he was young.The two stood together, as if they were six years older, and they were also a lot taller.

Yun Wu sat firmly in the driving seat, giving Da Ya a very solid and safe feeling, and made her inexplicably at ease.Unlike the feeling that the thin and short Xiangdong gave her just now, it seemed that something would happen to the bullock cart on the road.For example, falling into a ditch, hitting a tree, etc., is not very practical anyway.

Xiangdong was not angry either, he smiled honestly, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother Yunwu, I will sit in the back with my sister, thank you for your hard work! Slow down, my sister will not I'm too used to riding a bullock cart, it's very bumpy!"

Yun Wu smiled and said: "That's natural, you don't need to tell me, I will drive more slowly and more steadily!" Alas, that girl is not like the girl in Shanqian Village, she is not even used to riding an ox cart.The girls in this village, who have ridden in a bullock cart, can't be counted with one slap.I envy the girls who have a bullock cart and can often go to the city, but there are too many of them!
In other words, she is very special, very special.Many times, Yunwu will have a feeling, as if Da Ya is not from this world.Could it be because she met a god and became a disciple of a god, so she was also contaminated with the spirit of the gods?

When we arrived in the town, Da Ya went to the Jicui Building out of habit.

Shopkeeper Su, Uncle Su, has long been as affectionate as the uncle next door to Da Ya, and he is also the kind who has a very close relationship.Shopkeeper Su is almost a benefactor to her. Thinking back to the first time she set foot in Jicui Building and came here to sell recipes, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.

She was lucky to have met Shopkeeper Su, a good man who cared about the poor and loved the rich, thanks to Shopkeeper Su being a kind and just businessman.She often thinks that if Ji Cui Building were replaced by another person as the shopkeeper, the money she got at the beginning would probably be greatly reduced!
Wontons are just a snack. It is actually reasonable for Ji Cui Lou to throw her five taels.However, how did Shopkeeper Su treat her?Love and righteousness, childlike and innocent, still treated her poor girl from the countryside with extra courtesy, and took the initiative to buy her "secret recipe" at a high price.
