Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 18
"I bought it, by the way, Baojia, have you ever been to the county?" The words of the owner of the grain and oil store made Li Yao think that under this kind of weather, the grain and oil stores in the county may not necessarily have this kind of sprouted garlic, and they can buy it cheap .

"I have been there several times. When I was an apprentice in a pharmacy, I went to the big pharmacy in the county to get medicine several times."

"Then can you help me go to the county?" Li Yao asked.

"What are you going to do in the county?" Chen Baojia looked at his sister-in-law strangely.

"Go and help me to the grain and oil store to see if there is any sprouted garlic. If there is any, buy it back at a low price." Li Yao knew that although this little uncle was sometimes out of tune, no one could match him when it came to bargaining.

"Garlic is something rich people eat. Our family didn't eat it when the conditions were good. Sister-in-law, why do you want to buy that thing?" Chen Bao's family was very puzzled by the sprouts.

"If you buy it back, I will use it for myself. You take the money, you go in a carriage, and buy it back for me no matter how much it is."

"Okay." Since the sister-in-law said it was useful, it must be useful. Chen Bao was very impressed by his sister-in-law.

Li Yao went to the butcher stall and bought two pieces of pork belly and one piece of pork ribs, and saw that there were still a pair of large intestines and a piece of pork belly left, so she bought them for an extra two pennies.

Li Yao learned from the owner of the butcher's stall that these pigs were given to big customers or regular customers. The owner of the butcher's stall didn't expect that there would be people who wanted to buy them, so he sold them to Li Yao at a low price.Li Yao went to another fish stall and bought a fish weighing two catties.

When Li Yao returned to the grain and oil store, the boss had already brought the garlic from home and ordered an ox cart for her.Li Yao handed over the money to the boss and got into the bullock cart.

When Li Yao came home, several members of the Chen family were preparing to have lunch. Chen Huang heard a noise and walked out of the yard. She was startled when she saw Li Yao come back with an ox cart.

"Yao'er, where do you get so many things?" Chen Huang asked.

"Mother, let's talk when we go in." Li Yao asked the uncle who drove the ox cart to help move the things into the house, and then paid the money.

"Uncle, thank you."

"It's okay, girl, then I'll go back first." The cow driver got on the ox cart, shook his whip to bid farewell to Li Yao.

"Go slowly." Li Yao smiled and waved.

"Wow! Did the uncle buy fish? Our family hasn't eaten fish for a long time!" A five or six-year-old girl walked in.

"Are you Qing'er, the second aunt's daughter?" Li Yao asked the little girl with a half squat and a smile.

"En." The little girl nodded, and stared at Li Yao for a while with her big black eyes: "You are a beautiful sister-in-law!"

Li Yaochi laughed out loud: "What a cute little guy, is your mother at home?"

"Mother went to my uncle's house to help plant sweet potatoes, only my brother and I were at home." Qing'er said childishly.

"Oh, how about having dinner at Uncle's house with your mother and brother? There is white rice!" Li Yao said softly.

"Hehe...Okay, my brother just said that he dreamed of eating white rice last night! I'll tell my brother!" Qing'er ran away with her two braids twitching.

Li Yao looked at the little figure and felt very uncomfortable. It was really embarrassing for these two little guys. They only ate sweet potatoes all day long, looking at Jing'er's yellow and thin face, obviously malnourished.

"Yao'er, tell me quickly, where did those things come from?" Chen Huang asked her daughter-in-law worriedly, and why the youngest son didn't come back, full of doubts.
