Farmer's happy event

Chapter 10 A Big Deal
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yang said that she would go to her mother's house to borrow some food, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she went out with Liu Jingren.It snowed heavily all day and all night. Although the sky has cleared up now, the snow is almost knee-deep.The ox cart couldn't move anymore, so Yang Shi and Liu Jingren walked.

When Mrs. Yang showed Liu Jingren the money he earned from selling lotus seeds that day, he was really shocked.One must know that this is nearly half of the money, enough for his whole family to eat porridge for a period of time.

In order to dispel his doubts, Lianzi only said that she just knew that medicinal materials could be sold for money, so she dug some, but she found the right one.Then she told about the matter that Dr. Xu taught her to identify medicinal materials that day. As for the matter that Dr. Xu wanted to take her as an apprentice, neither she nor Mrs. Yang mentioned a word.Because in Yang's view, this is simply impossible, so there is no need to mention it.

As soon as Liu Jinglin's condition improved, he couldn't wait to find out all the rattan and hemp ropes he collected on weekdays, and began to weave some small and practical items.

Seeing him like this, Lianzi suddenly felt a little sad.

He has a craft and a good heart, but he is always depressed because his eyes can't see.In this way, Lianzi has strengthened her determination to work hard to make money.When she has money, she must treat Sanshu's eyes. Whether it can be cured or not, she will try her best to try.

Because it was snowing and cold, Lianzi didn't go out to play with Lizi after breakfast.

The third sister, Li Zi, is the most restless. Whenever she has a chance, she will sneak out to play with a group of children, and she is almost invisible until the meal time.

And the second sister, Douzi, was a little too dull.She was either bored in the house all day long, concentrating on practicing female red, or she obediently followed Mrs. Yang, helping with some chores.Therefore, Lianzi can often ignore the existence of this second sister.

Lianzi was afraid of the cold, so she took off her shoes after eating in the main room and got on the kang again.Millet and Douzi leaned on the edge of the Kang to sew old and shabby clothes, while Lizi jumped around inside and outside the house, returning with a handful of snow from time to time, stuffing it quietly into Lianzi's neck, which made Lianzi tremble. .

"Sister, do we have any books at home?" Lianzi was bored and wanted to find a book for entertainment.

Gu Zi looked up at her with a smile, "We don't have brothers and sisters in our family, how could we have those things?" After that, he joked, "If you were a boy, you might be able to go to school."

"I heard that the school has been built, and I want to go to school too." Hearing about the study, Li Zi rushed in and shouted.

Douzi, who had been silent all this time, glanced at her, and said lightly, "What kind of books do girls study? It's serious to learn more work."

"Hmph," Li Zi was unconvinced, "Who says girls can't study?"

"You should read it for me." Douzi didn't even lift his eyelashes this time.

Li Zi rolled his eyes: "Go, go, whoever is afraid of whom!"

The four sisters laughed and laughed for a while, forgetting their hunger for a while.But Lianzi was still thinking, next time, see if I can borrow some books from Dr. Xu.However, after thinking about it for a moment, Dr. Xu intends to take her as an apprentice. If she doesn't want to, wouldn't it be a good idea to borrow books from others?

Lianzi was thinking about it when she suddenly heard footsteps outside her house.The farmers here are simple, they never bar the door during the day, and when anyone comes, they just enter directly.

She opened the curtain covering the window a little bit, and saw the figure of the tiger stepping on the snow.

"He does have energy." Lianzi muttered, and then saw Huzi poking his head at the door.

"Come in, you're at home." Lianzi greeted.

Huzi laughed twice, stamped the snow on his feet, and entered the house.

There is no stove in this room, and the kang is already completely cold. In fact, it is not warmer than outside, but sitting on the kang is always a little warmer.

Lianzi was really cold, so she didn't get up, and asked, "What's the matter with this snowy day?"

"I'm going to school." A trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

"While we were talking about this, he also came to join in the fun." Lianzi thought to herself, and then asked, "This is a good thing, why don't you look happy?"

Gu Zi laughed and said, "Yes, it's a good thing, just now Li Zi said that he would go to school."

"Then let her go for me, anyway, I don't want to go." Hu Ziyan made a small face.

Seeing him like this, Lianzi couldn't help but smile: "Why don't you want to go?"

"When you go to school, you can't come out to play. Whoever likes to go, anyway, I don't want to go." He looked determined.

At this time, Lizi suddenly stepped forward and pushed him: "I'm really useless!"

Huzi patted the place she pushed, with a look of disdain: "You are promising, you go, girl."

Lizi snorted at him, turned around and went out to play in the snow again.

Huzi played here for a while, and was called back by Mrs. Zhao, saying that he was going to take him to see the husband.

Lianzi suddenly remembered Su Keyan, he seemed to come here to study, and he should be busy with school now.Thinking of this, Lianzi suddenly felt as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.But it's true, how can it be so easy to see that his family is a big family?

Thinking about it, Mr. Liu has set up the school in Liujiazhuang, even the children of people like Su Keyan have come to school, presumably there will be more students coming to study in the future.It seems that Liujiazhuang is about to become lively, which also means that there are huge business opportunities.This is considered a major event for the long-term development of Liujiazhuang.

Lianzi studied agriculture in her previous life, and never paid much attention to the various aspects of doing business. Unexpectedly, after coming here, she gradually developed a business acumen.

Because the road was slippery in the snow, Yang Shi and Liu Jingren walked slowly, and when they came back, it was already dark.

Yang first asked Liu Jingren to carry a small half sack of corn and a large bag of dried sweet potatoes to the main room, while he quickly dodged into his own door.

Seeing her coming back, the four girls hurriedly called for their mother.

Yang sat on the edge of the kang, untied two layers of clothes, and took out a tightly wrapped paper bag from her bosom.

Layer after layer of wrapping paper was removed, and four fragrant plum cakes appeared.

This aroma is a huge shock to children who can't get enough to eat all day long.Sister Lianzi couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.

When I was at the market last time, Lianzi wanted to eat this kind of cake. At that time, Mrs. Yang also agreed, but she left in a hurry and forgot about it.Now it seems that Yang has it in mind.

Yang divided the pancakes into four, one for each person.

Chestnut hurriedly took a big bite, and whimpered, "It's so fragrant, so fragrant."

Mrs. Yang hurriedly covered her mouth, looked at the door, and seeing no one, said in a low voice: "Hold down, eat quickly."

Gu Zi took a small bite and handed it to Yang's mouth: "Mother, you can eat too."

Mrs. Yang shook her head: "You can eat, the mother will not eat what the child eats."

Lianzi knew that Yang Shi and Liu Jingren would definitely be reluctant to eat it, so she only ate half of a pancake, and took advantage of Yang Shi's inattention, carefully wrapped the remaining pancakes and hid them.

Although the plum cake is not big, it is still a full meal for a child who has been hungry for several months.

Liu Jingren handed over the bought rations to Shen, only saying that Yang borrowed it from her natal family with great difficulty.

Although Shen's expression was still cold, she only hummed, but hurriedly went to the stove to heat up dinner for Liu Jingren and Yang to eat.

When her parents came back, Lianzi took out the cakes she had secretly hidden and insisted on letting Yang Shi and Liu Jingren eat them. At first they said they would not eat anything, but they couldn't bear the four daughters' soft-heartedness, and they were afraid that they would be caught if they made any noise. When others knew about it, they ate half of the pancake.

The whole family had a good night's sleep and did not wake up from hunger.Lianzi couldn't help sighing: "It's good to be able to eat enough! It's good to be rich!"

With the food brought by Mrs. Yang and Liu Jingren, the whole family can barely survive for the time being.But they understand that if the government's relief food is not distributed, it will be hard to imagine the end of winter.

Seeing that it is the middle of the twelfth lunar month, if it is in previous years, some things for the New Year have already been prepared by this time.But this year's famine, there is nothing at home, even if you want to prepare, you don't have to prepare.In addition, Lianzi is still worried about one thing. Liu Jinglin is doing more and more work. Although he has never asked when the Yang family will be sold, Lianzi has been thinking about how to fulfill the original lie. And distressed.

Now that the snow still hasn't melted, if you want to go to the town to find a buyer, you have to wait until the snow has melted and your parents agree to take her out.Besides, she didn't go to the mountain to collect herbs recently because of the heavy snow. Fortunately, she picked a lot earlier, and the weather after the snow was not bad, so she had already finished processing it, and it was time to bring it to the town to sell.

Seven or eight days have passed since the last time I bought rations, and the food at home has bottomed out again, and now even the peanut shells are almost gone.As for the grass roots and bark, they were also snapped up.

Even Zhou Tongli's family was having a hard time. Seeing Lianzi's sallow and emaciated face yesterday, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help feeling distressed.She wanted to help, but firstly, the food at home was almost exhausted, and secondly, Huzi had just entered school, and thanks to Mr. Liu's transparency, he said that everyone's life was difficult, and Shu Xiu could just owe it first, or they would have nowhere to go the point.

The end of the year is getting closer, but the Lianzi family is not at all excited about the New Year.Now the price of food is ridiculously high, and the money for lotus seeds to sell medicinal materials has long been exhausted. She intends to sell the newly prepared medicinal materials, but a few days ago, Mrs. Yang heard that there were robbers on the road, and said that she would not allow her anything. Go out again.

It was gloomy early in the morning, and it looked like it was snowing, but it had been like this for several days, and it just couldn't survive.

Lianzi got up and dressed herself, and was about to go to the main room for dinner after washing, when she suddenly heard a noise.

She was already too hungry to pay attention to the noise, so she simply ignored it and went into the house to have breakfast.Chestnut, who likes to join in the fun, drank the porridge in his bowl in a few sips, and hurried out to watch the fun.
