Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 38 Celebrity Effect (1)
"Just after it rained, the river water was still muddy. The clothes got dirtier and dirtier, so I had to wash them at home. It rained for several days, and the house received a lot of water, which was just right for me to wash clothes."

Xiaohua's hands are rubbing Xiaocao's own clothes. Fortunately, they are relatively small and easy to wash.Before Xiaohua came, Xiaocao had already washed more than half of it, and she usually washed her clothes last.So when Xiaohua came, she happened to wash Xiaocao's clothes.

"Xiaocao, I'm thinking of going to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, what do you think? It's been raining for too long this time. I've pickled so many bamboo shoots, and my family owes a lot of money to see a doctor. I think Go to the mountain early to see what you have, and sell it at the market for more money to pay off the debt." Xiaohua and her little girlfriend expressed their thoughts.

"It's already the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and I'm going to go to the market in a few days." After finishing, he emphasized the time.

"Well, I also know that it's just Xiao Hua. It just finished raining. It is estimated that after today, the grass and trees on the mountain will not be dry, and the road will not be easy to walk. Otherwise, tomorrow I will rest for a day, let the sun shine, and wait until the day after tomorrow." The road is easier to walk, let's go again." Xiaocao thought of the problem of the mountain road.

"Well, well, let's make an agreement, I'll come to you in the morning, the time is the same as last time."

"Okay, then I'll look for you at home the day after tomorrow." After the two sisters sat together and said something, Xiao Hua went home.

The next day, Xiaohua took a look at her sweet potatoes and millet, and then went to the creek that Jingniang saw last time to check the situation.It is said that you can catch fish in rainy days, but Xiaohua doesn't count on it. After it rains, the water will definitely rise.Check the situation first, she wants to eat fish.

Knowing that Jingniang would not let this happen, she secretly came to have a look, thinking about when to catch some back, to enjoy her mouth.

Xiaohua stood by the creek and watched for a long time but did not see any fish, only muddy water.All kinds of wild flowers were still blooming by the stream, so she picked some back and continued to wash her pheasant feathers with Bubble.

The other pheasant that was about to hatch, Granny Ruan wanted to kill it these days.They are fed with wild vegetables, and Jingniang has to go out to pick them in the rain these days.But when I thought about the money that could be exchanged for this fair, I held back thinking about it. Their family was too short of money.

Fortunately, this pheasant is a female. I don’t know why, two days after Mrs. Ruan wanted to kill it, it laid two eggs. The eggs were not small, which made Mrs. Ruan very happy up.But I don't know why, but I just don't want to hatch eggs.Mrs. Ruan thought, if she could lay an egg every day, she would not sell it, and save her own eggs to eat or sell.Later, their family unanimously decided to stay and lay eggs to supplement nutrition for Xiao Zhuzi.Xiaozhuzi is too thin, and the weather is cold, if Jingniang and Mrs. Ruan hadn't taken care of her carefully, she would have been assigned to be sick.

In fact, she is already healed, and there are too many things to do now. At present, she must find a way to make money first, so after returning home and soaking flowers and pheasant feathers, she went out to learn the language from Dr. Lu (as early as 5 Within a few days, Xiao Hua and Jing Niang asked where Dr. Lu lived).

On the twelfth day, Xiaohua, Jingniang and Xiaocao went up the mountain again.This time they brought about the same as last time, Jing Niang still brought her kitchen knife.

This time into the mountains, according to the results of the labor distribution last time, the three of them cooperated, and the bamboo shoots grew quickly after the rain.Also because of the experience of last time, the speed this time is faster than last time.Xiaocao was still sitting there peeling the bamboo shoots, Xiaohua thought of the pit and wanted to have a look.So he pulled Jingniang, talked to Xiaocao, and went to the woods behind the bamboo forest.

The couple quickly went to the pit to have a look. Fortunately, there was a wild rabbit, but it was already dying.Xiaohua quickly put the rabbit in the basket, thinking: "I finally have meat to eat today. The whole family should make up for it. I have made my mother and grandma worry about it for a while. Let my mother kill and eat it today." .”

However, Jing Niang thought, see if she can feed her, raise it for a few more days, sell it in the market, and pay back the money first.

The two of them walked around, picked some fungus and mushrooms, and went back. Neither Xiaohua nor Jingniang dared to go into the forest. It was said that there were all kinds of big guys in it. It is a blessing to be able to pick up a wild rabbit.

Back in the bamboo forest, Xiaohua helped Xiaocao peel the bamboo shoots together. This time there were too many bamboo shoots, so she negotiated with Xiaocao to let her family do half, and their family did half. I agreed, but said something.If the little flower's bamboo fungus is sold for money, there is no need to give it to her, it is already enough and so on.Xiaohua and Jingniang looked at it and nodded in agreement.

In fact, Xiaohua also wanted to see if there were grape vines or orange trees, etc., so she dug some and went home, but unfortunately she didn't see it.I had no choice but to put away that thought, thinking that next time I would come directly to those and forget it.The yard is too empty, so it's good to plant some trees, and they can be sold for money at that time.

When we arrived at Xiaocao's house, this time we gave half of the bamboo shoots to Xiaocao's family to make.There are a lot of bamboo shoots this time, and the fresh ones are estimated to be more than 200 catties. Jing Niang can’t carry them back alone. She is pulled by an adult in the front, and the two small ones are behind to help push, or the two small ones are in the middle. They also pulled this way back together.When I came back, it was earlier than last time, around three o'clock in the afternoon.

He took half of it and put it in Xiaocao's house, and Jing Niang could drag the rest home by herself.Xiaohua looked at the bamboo fungus she picked last time, it was almost dried out than it was now, and the sun has been shining in the past two days, so the basket of bamboo fungus is estimated to be less than six taels per catty. It's two catties.In addition, the ones picked this time will not exceed six catties at most after being dried in the sun, so Xiao Hua decided that if the bamboo fungus is bought at that time, it will be calculated in taels.

The couple discussed for a long time and decided to make all the bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots this time.After discussing it, I started to do it.There will be a market in two or three days, so hurry up.Xiaohua was very depressed, she was in debt every time she went to the market, and twice in a row she didn't even have money to ride the ox cart.

Looking at the hare, Xiao Hua wanted to ask her mother to kill it and eat it, but in fact she was really greedy for meat, and hadn't eaten meat for more than ten days.Although there is oil at home, every time grandma or mother cooks, she doesn't put much in it, saying that she wants to save some, and she is almost worried to death.

"Mom, let's kill the rabbit and eat it at night?"

"No, save that rabbit for sale at the market tomorrow, you know we still owe 15 big money." Jing Niang's tone was very firm.

"But mother, look at that rabbit is about to die, how could it be possible to wait until the day of the market." Xiao Hua just wanted to eat meat.

"I guess it's hungry. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, so you can't help with these things. You go and pick some grass for the rabbit to eat." Jing Niang gave Xiao Hua an order.

"I don't know what kind of grass rabbits eat, but I know rabbits eat turnips, but we don't have turnips at home."
