Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 50
Unknowingly, Ning Wan's dried vegetables accumulated a lot. She and Luo Shuang'er Chunling came up with many new ways to dry vegetables. They tried a few times and found that some vegetables were soaked in boiling water first, and then cut into pieces. To dry in strips, the eggplant should be cut thicker, the kidney beans should be thinly shredded, and the melons should be sliced.

The family ran out of vegetables, so Ning Wan collected some in Sanjia Village, a penny for a big basket, and the children of each family liked to pick vegetables and send them over.Luo Shuang'er and Chunling didn't dare to accept it, fearing that they would lose money, and Ning Wan didn't persuade them, after all, it was the first time they tried, and she wasn't sure if they would make money.

Luo Shuang'er and Chunling dried their own vegetables, and they often came to the Ning family's big room to help. Ning Wan was often embarrassed to trouble them, but the two of them just smiled and said: "Could it be that you can only help us?" , but won’t allow us to help you?”

Ning Wan was the first to collect wild vegetables from these two families, so they all made money earlier than others, and they are all conscientious people, so they are very grateful, and they came to help to repay Ning Wan's affection.

The rest of the people in Sanjia Village only listened to Ning Wan and just tried it out, so they waited and watched. Some followed the trend and some didn't. In short, there were fewer people than Luo Shuang'er and Chunling.

Entering midsummer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is less rain at this time. When Luo Shuang'er left Ning's house that day, she said, "I won't come tomorrow. The family hired someone to make adobe, and I will take care of the cooking." thing."

Guo Xiazhu, who Luo Shuanger married, was originally the second son of the first house of the Guo family, and sooner or later he would separate from the eldest house, but now that Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo are both there, there is no need to rush to separate.However, the news that Luo Shuanger's safflower padded jacket was snatched by Guo Xiaoyan spread to Luo Shuanger's natal family. Luo's family took more than a dozen relatives to Sanjia Village to make a fuss. The Guo family was separated.

Although Luo Shuang'er and Guo Guo Xiazhu still live in the wing of Guo's old house, they have already separated from the people in the long house, even the pigs, chickens, rice grains, and even the vegetables in the vegetable garden. , everything in the family has been divided when the Luo family came to make trouble, the only difference is that the new house cannot be moved out until the new house is built.

The building of the house has already been done step by step. The wood is the first to be prepared. It has been exposed to the sun for several months and is ready for use. The most important thing is to make adobe.The houses in Sanjia Village are all made of adobe, and no one here knows how to burn bricks. As for transporting bricks from the mountains to the village, it is even more impossible.However, the adobe houses handed down from some generation are actually quite good, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is much easier to make adobe than to burn bricks.

However, the adobe also has its disadvantages. After all, it has not been fired, but only dried in the sun. Therefore, if it encounters rain before it is formed, it will be easily damaged by brewing. Therefore, people in Sanjia Village usually choose the season with the least rain, such as now.

Taking advantage of the clear sky, we invited strong men from the village to help. Within a few days, everyone produced 1 yuan of adobe, which was enough to build three main houses, two warehouses and courtyard walls, etc., and the new house was more than half. .

Chun Ling and Ning Wan both laughed, "This is a big deal, you just go and get busy, if there aren't enough people cooking, we'll go over and help."

Luo Shuang'er shook her head, "The most important thing in our family is people. Besides, my grandma and my mother are in charge of everything. I only listen to their orders."

According to the old customs of Sanjia Village, Guo Xiazhu and Luo Shuang'er separated, and the elders of the Guo family should preside over all matters such as building a new house, even cooking for the adobe builders and other chores. Aunt Guo and others are in charge, and Luo Shuanger only needs to work hard.After the new house was built and the couple officially separated, Luo Shuang'er had the final say on the new house.

Chun Ling and Ning Wan both nodded, and they really didn't need their help, so they said politely, "If you need us, call us."

After dinner at night, the Ning family inevitably talked about the Guo family building a new house. After all, it was the biggest event in Sanjia Village right now.Mr. Guo invited more than a dozen of the strongest young men in the village, plus seven or eight children and grandchildren of the Guo family, to gather around 1 people. He also promised to pay [-] yuan per person after finishing the [-] yuan adobe.

Mrs. Yu couldn't help nodding when she heard what her husband said, "Mr. Guo has given up his capital."

"No, building a house is a big deal," Ning Liang nodded in agreement, "Even if the Guo family borrows some money, it needs to be done well."

Yu said again: "Xia Zhu and Luo Shuang'er are both capable, and they will surely live well after they are separated."

Ning Wan also strongly agrees, "I think Luo Shuang'er is very willing to separate, but she is too embarrassed to show too much."

"Stupid child, who doesn't want to live a small life by himself!" Yu Shi smiled, "You will know when you get married." She glanced at Ning Liang quietly again, and said that her mother-in-law was difficult to wait for, and said that she married When I came here, the big house of the Ning family had no elders, but they treated the two aunts as mother-in-laws, which was equivalent to having two mother-in-laws. The hardships at that time could not be exhausted even after three days and three nights. Just find a time to tell Yao Nu quietly up.

Ning Wan also laughed, in fact, she knew that her mother-in-law was difficult to take care of, because in her dream she married not so much as marrying a husband, but as marrying and living with her mother-in-law.For her mother-in-law Mrs. Zhao at that time, Ning Wan really couldn't express her feelings for her for a while—Mrs. Zhao was by no means a kind old lady, but she was kind to herself, and she could learn so much The skills are all taught by her.

All Mrs. Zhao's calculations, all her intentions, and all her expectations for her were actually agreed by herself, so Ning Wan didn't have any complaints about Mrs. Zhao as a mother-in-law, but she had to go through a lot of hard work to get her mother-in-law's approval. So speaking of it, she had already learned how to get along with her mother-in-law, perhaps even more than her mother in this respect.

It's just that you don't need to tell your mother about these things. If she likes to tell about the past, just listen to it yourself.

On the second day, Ning Wan and Chun Ling dried the vegetables in the Ning family's big room. Seeing the sun coming up, they sat in the main room to make needle money. Luo Shuang'er suddenly opened the courtyard door and ran in. Let me cook!"

Ning Wan and Chun Ling were taken aback. Seeing Luo Shuang'er's disheveled hair, flushed face, and sweat dripping from her forehead, they followed Luo Shuang'er to Guo's house together without bothering to ask more questions.

On the way, Luo Shuang'er panted heavily and said, "I just went to the adobe digger to bring water to everyone. I saw that my nipple was so painful that I fell on the kang and couldn't get up. My mother and sister-in-law went to take care of me." She and the sister-in-law were also called away by them. Meals for more than 20 people, just me, I alone can't handle it."

What else do Ning Wan and Chun Ling not understand?There are members of the older generation in the Guo family, and it is said that they should not separate the family. It is just because something embarrassing happened to the Guo family. Luo Shuang'er's family came to the door and forced the old man Guo to agree to the separation, but none of the elders of the Guo family was willing.Mr. Guo is a person who cares about face, no matter how unhappy he is in his heart, he is still making plans for Guo Xiazhu's separation on the surface, but Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo are trying to make things difficult for Luo Shuang.

When they arrived at Guo's house, Ning Wan and Chun Ling saw that the kitchen was in a mess, but there was only Ning Xue, an idiot standing in the middle, with a look of not knowing what to do, and they completely understood.

Mrs. Guo has always been the most unreasonable person in Sanjia Village. She has never made a fuss about Guo Xiazhu and Luo Shuanger's separation. Before, everyone thought it was suppressed by Mr. Guo, but now they know that she has been waiting Luo Shuang'er is in a difficult situation at this time.

In Sanjia Village, in addition to paying wages, hiring someone to help with work also has to take care of lunch, and the lunch is usually better than the usual at home, at least you have to go to Mayi Town to buy wine and buy meat.

Making adobe is extremely tiring work, even more tiring than planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. The strong young men will be sore and limp after a day of making adobe, so this lunch is even better.

Right now, Mr. Guo is quite well prepared. A large piece of meat is placed on the chopping board, weighing about ten catties, but the skin has not been picked; a bag of white flour has not yet been poured out of the bag, let alone The dough is fermented; as for all kinds of vegetables, they are piled up messily on the stove, on the ground and in the half-turned-over basket, as if someone accidentally knocked over; The pot of water seems to have some flavor...

But it's almost noon now!
Knowing that Mrs. Guo and Aunt Guo are in the east room next door, Chun Ling still couldn't help saying: "Your family usually lives like this? How can the pot not be rinsed when the next meal is ready!"

What can Luo Shuang'er say, she was sent to send water early in the morning, so she couldn't speak ill of her elders, so she blushed and hesitated, "Aren't you very busy today?"

Of course Chunling didn't talk about Luo Shuang'er, but for the people in the room to listen to, but now she saw that there was no sound in the east room, as if there was no one there, and it was hard to say anything else, so she first washed out the hot pot water Going to scoop up water again, it turned out that the water tank was empty!
According to the customs of Sanjia Village, a day usually starts when the women get up to cook and the men go to the mountain stream to fetch water. Now it is almost noon, and there is no water in the water tank of the Guo family. It is really unreasonable. Ning Wan then Asked in a low voice, "Brother Xia Zhu didn't carry water this morning?"

"I picked it," Luo Shuang'er said in a low voice, "I picked a jar full of it." But when he glanced around the yard, there was a lot of clothes drying on the fence of Guo's house. It turned out that the water was used for washing clothes.

On the days when the family hired people to make adobe, the women should be busy cooking, but the Guo family actually washed the clothes first!
At this time, Ning Wan also wanted to scold Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo through the door. After all, Guo Xiazhu is the son and grandson of the Guo family. Isn't it because of the Guo family's face that these things happened today?But seeing Luo Shuanger's eyes full of pleading, she turned to Ning Xue to take her out, "Go to your own room and rest for a while, we have these jobs." Ning Xue is not only unable to help here, she may even make trouble , You have to send her away first.

Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo just wanted to mess up the adobe business, so that the new house could not be built, but Luo Shuanger was full of expectations that the family could be separated smoothly. for what?The most important thing is to make the lunch, so that the adobe work can be done successfully.

Chunling naturally understood Luo Shuanger's pleading, so she slapped her hands, "I'll fetch water!" It turned out that among the three of them, Chunling was the tallest, fat and strong, and the strongest, able to carry water like a man. water.After talking, he took the bucket and pole and left.

Luo Shuang'er wanted to pick vegetables and cut meat, but knew that it would be too late to cook all the meals before noon, so she couldn't help getting more and more flustered, her face became redder, and tears rolled in her eye sockets.
