Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 10 Selling Sweet Potato Porridge
"Guo'er, what's the matter? Don't cry, don't cry, tell mother, what happened?"

"Grandma... grandma beat daddy, said mother, you don't work, and called mother a broken shoe, wow..."

Hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent. Tang Mai frowned. The old lady of the Tang family looked down on them. Even if she didn't pay attention to this family in her previous life, she knew it.

"Guo'er, don't cry. Have you eaten yet? Mother will cook for you." Lian Xiulan carried Tang Guo to the mat and said to the children next to her, "Mier, Maier, Keer, are you here?" Take care of my sister here, and my mother cooks."

Tang Yuanshan comforted the children and walked out together.

Tang Mai walked up to Tang Guo, coaxed Tang Guo to sleep, looked at Tang Mi and Tang Ke and said, "Sister, brother, I need your help."

"Mai'er, if you need anything, just talk to the elder sister." Tang Mi had already wiped away his tears.

Tang Ke also looked at Tang Mai.

That night, after dinner, in the middle of the night, the three children Tang Mai, Tang Mi, and Tang Ke got up from the bed and went to the wasteland. It was very cold at night. After going out, all three of them shivered. In full moonlight, the road can be seen clearly.

Tang Mai asked Tang Mi and Tang Ke to dig sweet potatoes with her. They dug three big baskets, and the three of them dragged the baskets home. After Tang Mi and Tang Ke returned home, Tang Mai drove him to sleep, and Tang Mai stayed up all night. She fetched water to wash all the sweet potatoes, and her little hands were numb from the cold, but compared to the days of rich clothes and fine food in her previous life, she actually felt happier.

After washing, it was already dawn. She hurriedly hid the sweet potatoes and went back to her room to lie down. After she got up with Tang Mi and Tang Ke, she learned that Lian Xiulan would continue to work in the field today. Went to the landowner's house to help.

The children knew it in their hearts, but they just became more obedient.

After Tang Mai had breakfast, she didn't follow her to the field, and even asked Tang Yuanshan to keep Tang Mi and Tang Ke to stay with her.

Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan naturally agreed, at worst they would do more work, but Tang Mi still wanted to help, and Tang Mi didn't compromise until Tang Mai looked at her pitifully.

After Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan left, Tang Mai asked Tang Mi and Tang Ke to stay at home. After taking out the sweet potatoes, she asked Tang Mi to help cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes. It's Aunt Wang's house.

As soon as Aunt Wang got up, she heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw Tang Mai and Tang Guo, two sisters, "Hey, second girl, third girl, come in, come in."

Tang Mai smiled embarrassedly at Aunt Wang, but did not go in, "Aunt Wang, can you lend me half a catty of rice? I will definitely pay it back."

"Rice?" Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, without even asking why, she went back, took out a small cloth bag of rice, and handed it to Tang Mai, "Why don't you return it, Auntie's house still has food, Just take it."

"Mother, who is here?" A gentle voice came from the room, Tang Mai looked up and saw a gentle young man in white clothes, presumably this was Aunt Wang's eldest son who was teaching in the county.

"They are the two children of your sister Xiulan's family."

"Hello, Brother Wang." Tang Mai greeted and smiled.

"Hi, you guys." Wang Qing walked over and was slightly surprised when he saw Tang Mai's deep eyes. He had seen many children, but he had never seen a child who was as cold and warm as Tang Mai at the same time.

"Aunt Wang, Brother Wang, thank you for the rice. Aunt Wang, I'm going home first, and I'll return the rice to you in the afternoon."

"Hey, you are a real kid, be careful on the road."

"it is good."

"Goodbye, Aunt Wang and Brother Wang." Tang Guo poked her head out, said shyly, and went home with Tang Mai.

When they got home, Tang Mi and Tang Ke had already cut a small basket of sweet potatoes, and Tang Mai joined in. The four children worked hard for nearly half an hour before cutting the sweet potatoes.

The tang wheat was burned immediately, and the sweet potatoes and washed rice were boiled in a large pot. After boiling a cup of tea, the aroma wafted out of the pot.

"Sister, brother, please find a bigger basin."

Tang Mi and Tang Ke didn't know what Tang Mai was doing, so they didn't ask. They just helped find out what they needed.

When the sky was bright, three big pots of sweet potato porridge came out of the oven.

"Big sister, brother, Guo'er, we're going to town."

"Mai'er, what are you going to do in town?" Tang Mi is the eldest among the children. He is seven years old this year and knows some things.

"Go sell this thing." Tang Mai narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"This?" It's really delicious, and it's still made of rice, but will anyone buy it?How much do you sell it for?
"Sister, please help me, let's go to the town." Tang Mai saw Tang Mi's hesitation, this was the first small sum of money she wanted to earn, and she had to go to the town no matter what.

"Sister, since Mai'er is going, let's go." Tang Ke said with a mature look.

Tang Mai knew that this brother loved her the most, no matter what she did, he would unconditionally support her, even though they were only five years old now.

Eventually, the three older kids all decided to go.

Tang Guo was still young, Tang Mai thought about it, and brought Tang Guo to Aunt Wang's house, and let Tang Guo stay at Aunt Wang's house, and at the same time filled a large bowl of sweet potato porridge for Aunt Wang.

The bowl given to Aunt Wang yesterday was already eaten by her youngest son, and after eating, he still clamored for another bowl.

When Aunt Wang saw that Tang Mai brought another bowl and saw that there was rice in it, she felt embarrassed.

After Tang Mai delivered the things and settled down in Tangguo, he happened to see Wang Qing standing in front of the ox cart. It would be great if there was a car to take them to the town. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards Wang Qing cheekily, "Brother Wang , are you going to the county seat?"

Hearing the voice, Wang Qing lowered his head and saw Tang Mai standing in front of him, tilting his head to look at him, "Yeah, I'll go later, what's the matter? Er girl, do you want to play?"

"Brother Wang, I'm not going to play, can you do me a favor?" Tang Mai asked in a child's tone.

"What's the matter?" Wang Qing stopped the work of feeding the cows and asked with a smile.

"My sister and brother and I want to go to the town to go to the market, can you send us there?"

"Going to the market? You three children?"

"Enen, let's just go and have a look. My sister knows the way, so we won't get lost." Children in ancient times always matured early, especially those in rural areas. It should be down.

After finding the means of transportation, Tang Mai hurried back home. With the help of Wang Qing, the three children and two large barrels of sweet potato porridge packed in wooden barrels finally arrived in the town before the morning market started.
