A Story of a Little Village Girl Getting Rich

Chapter 42 Dream Talk
Before dark, Xiaocao asked Xiaocao to put away the wheat. After the sun went down, it became colder and the wind was biting. At that time, if the wheat was not dry, it would freeze when the wind blew.

Early on, the family nestled in the kitchen and built a broken iron pot. Miao Da made a shelf, put the iron pot on top, put the burnt ashes on the bottom, then put fluorocarbon on it, and then put on the burning fire. This warms up quickly.

Seeing that it was still early today, Xiaocao grabbed a handful of chestnuts. Each chestnut had a hole in it, and buried it in the ashes. Open it, and bake it on a low fire for a while before it is cooked. Use tongs to pick up one and put it on a rag to wipe the ashes. When you peel it off, there will be a burst of fragrant heat, which makes people salivate.

"Mother, try it." Xiaocao put the peeled chestnuts into Mother's hands.

"Okay, mother, taste it first." Xiao Cao Niang broke the chestnut in half, put half into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

"It's delicious, you can eat it too." Niangqin held out the other half in front of Xiaocao.

"Mother, there's more here, you eat, I'll do it." Xiaocao used the tongs to pick another one out, "Oh, it's not good, it's almost burnt."

I saw that Xiaocao picked out all the chestnuts in the fire ash and put them on the rag, then rubbed the ash off together, and then took them out one by one to peel them off.

I took two for Miao Da, and two for Xiao Si.

Xiao Si put the chestnut in his hand and looked at it for a while, the tender yellow chestnut was slightly burnt, he put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"I never knew chestnuts could be eaten like this." After eating one, Xiao Si put the other into his mouth, still chewing slowly.

Finally, Xiaocao peeled off one and threw it into her mouth. The middle of the chestnut was hot, and when she bit it, she grinned from the heat.

"You girl, eat slowly. It's all yours." Miao Da looked at Xiaocao's appearance, afraid that she would burn herself.

"It's okay, dad, it's so delicious. Miao Xiaocao's craftsmanship is getting better and better. I'll fry popcorn for you someday." Xiaocao peeled off the rest, divided a few for each person, I went to grab a lot of raw chestnuts and burned them like this.

"Xiao Cao, why don't you ask your father to fry all the chestnuts at night." Xiao Cao Niang felt that her daughter liked it.

"No, mother, I have to do this again, it's only sweet."

This chestnut has wild hair chestnuts, small ones, and large oil chestnuts.Xiaocao's family has two oil chestnut trees, both of which have already been planted.

The oily chestnuts were all harvested in autumn, picked up together with the thorn balls, and placed in a cool corner. In a few days, the hairy chestnuts were easily peeled off. Come on, the hairy chestnut rolled out of the ball. This hairy chestnut ball is full of thorns, which are usually dried and used as firewood.

After the chestnuts came out, they were put into a sieve for things, covered with a thin rag, and placed on the roof. During the day, the rags were covered, and at night, the rags were lifted, so that they could be exposed to the sun and night. Yes, it won't be long before the clothes inside the chestnut are separated from the body of the chestnut. The chestnut is very sweet.Just be careful of the little squirrel, if the little squirrel finds it, there won't be many chestnuts left.

When eating, they can be burned like grass. Most of them are put into the pot with water over the head, boiled on high heat, and the water is boiled dry, and then fried. The chestnuts fried in this way are quite delicious.

This is what Xiaocao came to this world to know. In that life, all the chestnuts were fried in oil, and the taste of white water in them was not as sweet as it is now.Although there is no particularly rich material life, Xiaocao is still very happy. She has a warm home, green food without any additives, and drinks water without any pollution. She is really happy.

Dinner was very simple.After eating, Xiaocao went to lie on her mother's bed for a while as usual.After Miao Da washed up, he went to Xiaocao bed, covered the bed for her, and chatted with Xiao Si.

For Xiao Si, everything in this world seems to be strange.Miao Da is a very patient person, and he is not too annoying. He always answers his questions.

Miao Da felt warm in the bed, so he got up and went to his room, Xiaocao saw Miao Da coming, so he got up and let him go back to his bed, the bed was warm, and his heart was full of happiness!
The lamp in Xiaosi's room was blown out after Xiaocao got into the bed.

"Xiaocao?" Xiaosi started talking to Xiaocao again.

"Ok?"

"You..." Xiao Si was about to ask "Have you slept?", but suddenly remembered the unhappy chat last night, and immediately swallowed what he wanted to say.

"What's the matter?" Xiaocao yawned and asked.

Her speech tonight was very flat and relaxed, neither unhappy nor impatient.

"If you go to grind wheat flour tomorrow, won't you be able to go up the mountain to rake firewood?"

"Oh, that's right, I said I'm going to rake firewood tomorrow." Xiaocao was a little tangled, what the hell was he going to do?

"I'll help you grind the flour together. After grinding the flour, we can rake firewood?" Xiaosi seemed to have come up with a good idea.

"Come on, I'll help you more and more with you. I've decided to rake firewood tomorrow and then grind flour. I'm so sleepy, go to sleep and don't talk to me."

Miao Xiaocao forcibly interrupted the conversation of the "same room" the next day.Poor Xiaosi could only poot his mouth and blink his eyes and didn't speak.

Xiaocao turned over, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

Listening to Xiaocao's even breathing, Xiaosi closed her eyes and fell asleep contentedly.

This night, Xiaocao was woken up by Xiaosi's raving in her hands.

Although they were in the same room, separated by a straw partition, Miao Xiaocao still couldn't hear what was being said.But it seems to be relatively bad, and Xiao Si will occasionally yell.

"Little Four. Little Four." Xiaocao shouted from the bed.

After shouting a lot, Xiao Si finally woke up.

"What's the matter?" Xiaosi's first reaction when he woke up was whether there was something wrong with Xiaocao.

"Are you dreaming?" Xiaocao asked.

Xiao Si thought for a while and said, "No, I didn't dream."

Listening to what he said, Xiaocao thought that there were only two answers, one was that he really didn't remember what he had dreamed about; the other was that he didn't want to talk about it.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter to Xiaocao. Whether he says it or not, it doesn't have any effect on her. Anyway, he is not hers. accurate.

"It's fine if you don't have one. I heard you screaming so miserably. If you have nothing to do, go to bed quickly. Don't talk in your sleep anymore. You're bothering me." Miao Xiaocao yawned, turned over and fell asleep again.

Only the poor little Si was left, trying hard to remember what dreams he had and what he talked in his sleep when he was sleeping just now.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember it, and in the end he could only close his eyes and fall asleep.
