Hard work

Chapter 68 One Year [Second Update]

The days that followed were uneventful.

The thief who broke into Zhao's house couldn't be found in the end.Although both Tiesheng and Yan Dalang were suspects, they had no choice but to produce evidence, so they could only be on guard against each other.It's been a long time, and I don't see him doing anything out of the ordinary, so I can only let it go.

The land purchase went smoothly, and the money was sent to the village chief's house as soon as it came back.Because the money earned was more than expected, Gaihua discussed with Yan Dalang and bought two acres of mountain land. The Zhao family and Yan Dalang's family will each share a one-acre land deed, so there will be no trouble involved. .

The seeds used for sowing were bought on credit from the village head's family, and it was agreed to pay back with the harvested grain in the next year.

Lan Hua'er did the math several times, and found that if the weather and weather were good for the two acres of mountain land, the year's harvest would be paid back to the village chief in taxes, and at least they would be able to eat for a year or so, which would be considered satisfying.

At home, they can go to the back mountain to hunt rabbits and catch fish.

Because Lan Hua'er had been fishing before, there were many more people in the village who went to catch fish in the creek in the back mountain.It's just that they are reluctant to buy fishing nets, and the fish are more alert than before, so the harvest is not very good.

Some people went to Lan Huaer's house to borrow fishing nets.Even Tao Pozi's family sent a man to the house.

Lan Huaer only borrowed from a few acquaintances, and she patiently explained to the others, saying that the fishing nets are not very good and must be dried frequently, otherwise they will rot easily.

Because of this incident, some people in the village spread bad words.Lan Hua'er only listened to the magical logic, and felt that it must be Tao Pozi who was playing tricks behind her back again.Last time she was so frightened by Honghuabai and Maiqing, she still couldn't change it.

However, most of the villagers can still understand the matter of orchids drying fishing nets.

Moreover, after many people caught fish and went back, because they didn’t cook fish before and didn’t know the smelly fish, the food they made was not delicious at all, so gradually not many people were willing to go fishing.Only Aju took a few familiar ladies to Lan Hua'er, and learned a little how to cook fish, which can be regarded as adding some money for matchmaking.

Honghuabai still often sends people to the village.Occasionally, I would send some food to Lan Huaer, and ask Lan Huaer if she wanted to play with them.

The people who came came on horseback and brought many things, but they didn't bring any money.Once, he even came to the door with two bear paws, saying that the owner was greedy, and Yang Honghua made it for nothing. He ate one at home and took the other back to the mountain.Lan Hua'er was terrified, but after hearing from Yan Dalang that bear's paws were not very rare at this time, she cautiously stewed the bear's paws with chicken soup and dried shrimp.

Sometimes it's other people, more often it's the guy who came during the Chinese New Year.

Lan Hua'er even asked if they were bandits from the back mountain, and the man smiled honestly, stretched out his hands and scratched his head, acquiescing to this statement.

This is the bandit under King Gui Jianchou Hong, who is feared even by the government in the legend. After a long time, he is not much different from the farmers in their village.In addition to having sharper eyes, he is also more simple and honest than people like Yan Dalang.

The simple and honest man is called Shuanzi.

Because, Shuanzi said, my boss said I was stocky, like a hitch stake.

Really simple, Lan Huaer nodded.

But even so, she didn't often accept the things those people sent over.She always felt that since she also took Mai Qing's money for what she did back then, it was considered a settlement.Honghuabai remembers her again, there are some human relations during the festival, that's all, she always feels a little sorry for taking a lot of things from Honghuabai.

Naturally, Yan Dalang is in charge of the two acres of mountain land on the mountain.

Orchid occasionally goes to the field to learn some knowledge in the field.If you need to take care of yourself in the future, you won't be completely blind.

A small piece of land in front of the house is still used to grow various small vegetables, and even a little space on the road beside the field is full of things like radish, cabbage, green onions and peppers.I didn't think about how much to plant, as long as I had enough for my family to eat, it would be pretty good.

Chickens are still kept.Also let hug.The young roosters are stewed until they are half-sized, and the hens are kept to lay eggs.I don’t change anything else, at least I can occasionally add a dish at home.

This year is not well-off, but it is no longer comparable to the first time.

Thinking about how to get enough to eat when I first traveled here, now Lan Huaer has begun to think about how to restore the exquisite dishes that I ate in modern times.She has a lot of seasonings in her hands now, and Yan Dalang is in charge of the affairs in the field. She suddenly feels that she is really a seven-year-old girl, and she even has time to think about whether she can make things like bean paste or fermented bean curd and soy sauce. Made it.

But she just thought about it.

Not to mention that she didn't have so many materials on hand.Even if the materials were really given to her, if a little girl like her really researched those things, no one else would dare to eat them.If she really ate it by herself, maybe there would be some strange words from the village. It might be that the Zhao family is so poor that they have to eat bean dregs that pigs eat.

On the other hand, Honghuabai had thought about inviting her to the mountain to be a cook or something.

Lan Huaer naturally rejected them all.

The only thing worth mentioning this year is probably Tie Sheng's proposal of marriage to Aru.At the beginning, the village chief's family and even Aru himself felt a little unbelievable. They always thought that Tiesheng couldn't find a good wife outside now, so he actually set his mind on Aru. After spreading gossip, I feel that it is not easy for Aru to refuse.

Lan Hua'er did help a few words in the middle, and more of it was Tie Sheng's own performance.

Aru didn't dislike Tiesheng in the first place, but he was a little annoyed because of the gossip.The matchmaker of Tiesheng's family went all the way several times, and they all said that Tiesheng liked Aru a long time ago, but he didn't dare to force it, thinking that the family was richer, so he came to ask for it.Now he was afraid that Aru would make an appointment first, so he came to the door with the cheek.

The matchmaker was able to speak, and coaxed the village chief's family into hesitation.

Lan Huaer helped again, so Aru decided to give Tiesheng half a year.Let him earn some money back.There is no need for much dowry, just to see if it is sincere.

The rest are trivial things, not worth mentioning.

Gaihua is still a handyman in the Escort, but he is calmer.He always told Lan Huaer that his boss treated him well and wanted to cultivate him, so he had to work hard.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since Lanhua'er traveled through time, and her family can barely afford to eat.

Finally out of abject poverty, right?She told herself that.
