Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 21 Wild Vegetables
It is true that Ning Wan said that the price of grain is the most expensive at the moment. The grain at this time is [-] to [-]% more expensive than in autumn. Ning Liang was very happy after selling grain for a day, and said with a smile when he entered the house, and said: " I heard that the price will drop again at some point, and I will go there every day for the past two days to make a lot of money."

Ning Wan brought her father a reserved meal and said, "Tomorrow I will go with my father."

"what are you going to do?"

"I dug up some wild vegetables and sold them in the town."

Ning Liang laughed, "Where would anyone buy that thing?"

How not?At that time, when I lived in Zhao's house, the freshest wild vegetables were put on the table as soon as the weather warmed up. She checked the account and found that the price was not cheaper than the fine vegetables grown in the winter greenhouse.

People in the country eat wild vegetables because they have no other vegetables to eat, but rich people eat wild vegetables for fresh food.Although the town is not big and there are many farmlands around, there are always people who will not dig by themselves and buy others.Ning Wan must try it, she is really anxious to earn some money, because she has been spending money these days, and she really doesn't have any money in her hands.

Ning Qing also laughed at Ning Wan, "It was said that we were going to pick mountain products, but now we can't wait anymore, even the wild vegetables are going to be sold!"

In fact, Yu didn't believe that wild vegetables could be sold for money, but she couldn't bear to laugh at her daughter, so she just said: "Wan'er has been digging wild vegetables all day, but it's just a basket."

At this time, the weather was just getting a little warmer, and only the sunniest and warmest places had some greenery. The wild vegetables were sandwiched among the green grass, and they were still very young. It took a long time to dig for a small handful.Ning Wan almost ran all over Sanjia Village to dig some wild vegetables. Her family was only willing to choose the poor ones to eat, and picked the big and good ones to sell in the town tomorrow.

In the early morning of the second day, Ning Wan got up and cooked the meals, and she followed her father to go out of Sanjia Village.

The mountain road was narrow, Ning Liang walked in front with a basket on his back, and Ning Wan followed behind with a basket on his back.

In the early morning and early spring, although there were still gusts of cold wind, it was different from the biting coldness in winter after all. The father and daughter both had heavy burdens and naturally walked quickly, and they didn't feel cold.

Ning Wan looked at her father in front of her, because she was carrying a heavy basket and her body was hunched, she felt a bit old, and she overlapped with her father a few years later.

At that time, my mother was already bedridden, and my parents had no hope for an offspring. Seeing that I was 16 years old, I discussed with myself about recruiting a son.How could I not agree?Usually, if there are several daughters in the family who have no sons, they will keep the youngest daughters from marrying off, and if they give birth to sons, they will follow their natal family's surname, so the family will not be considered as a broken incense.

Ning Wan mentioned Guo Dongzhu, but what she didn't say was that Guo Dongzhu actually agreed to her long ago.When he was showing his favor to him, he asked him if he would like to join the Ning family, and if he wanted to, he would nod, and Guo Dongzhu agreed in a hurry.Now father only needs to ask someone to make peace, and the marriage will be done.

Parents also fell in love with Guo Dongzhu. After all, the Guo family has many sons and the family is not rich. After marrying the above sons, there is no strength to marry the younger son.They are all from the same village, Wan'er is worthy of Dongzhu regardless of her appearance and ability, and Mr. Guo knows his own character very well, and he will never treat his son-in-law badly.

Father entrusted the old lady of the Yu family to be a matchmaker, and Mr. Guo agreed immediately. Ning Liang hurriedly arranged for the marriage to make his mother happy, but after more than a month, he was rejected when he was hired. Everyone repented!
Ning Wan once asked Guo Dongzhu full of anger, but he refused to say anything, and only confessed again and again, "Either you should marry into my family, and I will not treat you badly!"

Pooh!If you want to get married, how can you fall in love with Guo Dongzhu!

From the first time Guo Dongzhu mentioned that she liked her, Ning Wan said that she could not marry, and she could no longer leave her parents at home.At that time, Guo Dongzhu agreed to marry him, and repeatedly confessed that he would be good to his parents. To make himself happy, he even took out the sheep bones that Guo Xiaoyan had hidden back then and returned them to her.

At that time, Ning Wan didn't quite understand why Mr. Guo and Guo Dongzhu had changed their minds. Later, after some time, the Ning family's first wife was blocked in finding a wife for herself. It turned out that the Ning family and the Guo family had a secret discussion. Don't allow the big house to bring in a wife, let the big house become extinct, so that the big house's property will become theirs!

When father learned of their black heart, he sat on the edge of the kang with his head in his arms and wept. He never thought that his uncle would go around to ruin his daughter's reputation, plot his own family property, and force himself to die.

The mother forced herself to sit up from the kang, her eyes widened, and she said to her father, "The pawned wife! We will sell a few more acres of land and ask the pawned wife to have a son! I will never let you die!"

My father was unwilling and had to sell a few acres of land to pawn a woman who was good at giving birth. But when the woman was pregnant with Liujia, she fell in the village. According to her, a boy came running from behind and pushed her down. However, no one in the village admitted it, saying that she fell it herself.

Where can such a thing be found out?In short, the child whom the Ning family had placed high hopes on was lost.

The mother swallowed her breath in a fit of anger, she couldn't let go of her father and herself before she left, and couldn't close her eyes no matter what.

After the funeral, Ning Wan made up her mind, quietly went to Hu's Village, and sold the few acres of land left by her family to a family surnamed Hu. Although they were feuds, they didn't buy their own land like the villagers. Then she took her father and left Sanjia Village. At that time, father had already suffered from tuberculosis, and staying in Sanjia Village would only lead to death.

"Wan'er, give Dad the basket to help you."

Ning Wan was recalling the scene in her dream, when she heard her father calling her, she raised her head and smiled, "Dad, the basket is very light, I don't feel tired holding it at all."

The mountain road is difficult, even if you don’t take things, you will be tired, not to mention a big basket full of vegetables!Ning Liang looked at his well-behaved daughter and smiled, "How about we rest for a while?"

Ning Wan knew that her father was taking care of herself, "No need, let's go." The sooner she arrived in the town, the more time she would have to sell grain and wild vegetables.

The father and daughter walked for more than an hour before arriving at the edge of the town. There was a big market here on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and people often came to sell various things on weekdays. People from the three villages came here to sell food.It was only early in the morning, but there were already many people. The father and daughter quickly found a place to put down their things, and put out the grain and wild vegetables, waiting for someone to buy them.

The bright red sorghum rice is very plump, but the price is the lowest among grains. It takes three or four catties to equal a catty of white flour, and six or seven catties to equal a catty of rice, so people immediately come to inquire about the price.At this time, most of the people who want to buy grain are poor households, and the family can’t afford to eat when the grain is not harvested, so the bargaining is very fierce. However, with repeated arguments, the grain is still sold little by little.It's just wild vegetables, but no one cares about them.

Father saw that Ning Wan was guarding a basket of wild vegetables, but there was no one asking for the price. He was so pitiful that he took a moment to persuade her, "It's fine if no one buys it. Let's take it home and eat it."

Ning Wan was wondering why no one came to buy wild vegetables, she picked out each one of such good wild vegetables carefully, removed all the soil, clean, fresh, and neatly arranged .

However, there is not even a single person asking for a price!

At this time, another grain buyer came over, wearing a shabby padded jacket, and after discussing with his father for a long time, tremblingly, he took out some money from his pocket and bought three catties of grain and left. Ning Wan suddenly came to his senses and came to buy grain People in this area can no longer buy wild vegetables!What they were thinking was that they would be willing to spend money on wild vegetables if they wanted to eat enough. If they wanted to eat them, they would have gone to the fields to dig them. After all, the town is not big and there are farmlands around, so digging wild vegetables is not difficult.

It turned out that her method was wrong!
After figuring out what the problem was, Ning Wan held the basket and said to her father, "I'm going to sell wild vegetables on the street." Then she ran away.

Ning Liang wanted to catch her, but he was in vain, and because there was someone who wanted to buy food, he couldn't leave, so he could only yell at her back, "Do you know the way?"

"Yes, don't worry!" Ning Wan agreed, but she remembered that in her dream, she and her father lived in Ma Yi Town for a while. At that time, they came to join Ning Qing. , so after staying here, I took on the job of washing and mending to earn money, and don't travel around to collect and send clothes every day?Later, because of Ning Qing's indifference, he left the town to join the elder sister.

The streets in the town were the same as she remembered. The stone road was different from the dirt road in Sanjia Village, without a trace of dust. She walked briskly, feeling strange and familiar.Suddenly Ning Wan stopped in front of a black lacquered wooden door, raised her hand to knock, but she put it down before knocking.

Hearing the faint sound of reading from inside, Ning Wan stood for a while and was about to leave, but the door creaked open, and a young scholar came out from inside, wearing a blue silk scarf and a blue silk robe, holding a A volume of books, I don’t want a person standing in front of the door, was startled, one foot stepped over the threshold, but the other foot stopped inside the door, looked at Ning Wan and asked with a gentle smile: “Little girl , what's the matter with you?"

Ning Wan looked at the gentle and gentle man, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to that of Mr. Xu, and she knew that this scholar was the son of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. Not only was he similar in appearance, but he also spoke and behaved similarly. He was so kind, kind, and polite. .When Ning Wan was in the town, there were only two old couples in the Xu family. Hearing that her son went to Beijing to rush for the exam and failed the exam, she stayed in the capital to prepare for the exam three years later. Now she came here a few years earlier, and the people who rushed to the exam have not left yet. .

Thinking of this, Ning Wan didn't know how to answer.
