Chapter 14

Dingxiang and Zikui looked at Haitang in surprise at the same time, usually Haitang is the most frugal, but today he said to buy food when he ran out, so courageous!
In fact, Haitang has been ridiculed and scolded enough these days, and this time she plans to fight it out, no matter what others say or scold, she will live a good life.At this time, she has already let go of her dignity, and she has long since lost her dignity.

What's more, since she was a child, she hardly dared to eat with her stomach open except for the New Year's Eve dinner. As for chicken, duck and fish, it's good to eat two or three times a year, and even eggs can be eaten once or twice a month.

Usually, her biggest dream is to be able to have enough food. When she sees other people eating chicken, duck and fish, she hopes that she will not drool.This dream is ridiculous, but it has never been realized.From today onwards, she no longer intends to regard this as a dream, but as a real daily life.

"Ding Xiang, our family can't sit and eat. Let's find a way to make money in the future. Since some people are poor and some are rich, why can't we be rich? I believe that we can get rich through hard work."

Ding Xiang looked at Haitang with admiration. No wonder people said that the three sisters were three strange flowers. Fortunately, they didn't say they were three strange flowers.Now Ding Xiang believes it, and she really has more ideas than other girls in the village.

Ding Xiang is also suffering these days. You must know that she grew up soaked in honey water before coming here. After living as an ascetic monk for half a month, she has not shed a drop of eye and still has the fighting spirit to live a better life. It seems that her endurance and survivability are really amazing.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about how to make money when she has nothing to do. Now that Haitang supports her, if there is something she can do to earn money, eat well and dress well, she will no longer worry about being opposed by her parents or grandparents. The three sisters work together, no matter how rigid their parents' thinking is, they will be moved emotionally.

Zikui was very happy when she heard this. Although she didn't have any ideas, she didn't have too many ideas, but she had a sincere heart that was not afraid of losing and endured hardships.She happily went out to go to Ganoderma lucidum's house.

Haitang instructed: "I remember that Lingzhi's family seems to have left some shiitake mushrooms unsold. Since you want to buy her chicken, let her send a handful of shiitake mushrooms to the head office. You can go back in a few days. You just bought meat today and came back to make dumplings. It’s too ostentatious to say that you want to buy chickens.”

Zikui had no choice but to back off, "Then I'll talk to Lingzhi's mother in a few days."

Ding Xiang smiled, it seems that Haitang is quite good at planning.

In the evening, after Haitang drank the medicine, Lilac and Zikui were busy cooking dumplings.After all, these dumplings were not enough for five people to eat, and they also steamed some steamed buns.

It's just that the dumplings have just been put into the pot, and the second room and the third room can smell a fragrance.They were also cooking, but they smelled the aroma of cloves and purple sunflower cooking, which was very different from the usual meals.Because the stove was built outside the house, the fragrance drifted with the wind, and it was hard for the second and third bedrooms not to smell it.

It was Yurong who had the sharpest nose, "Is uncle's house cooking dumplings? I can smell dumplings!"

Yurong ran over after speaking, except for the second uncle and third uncle who were still working outside and did not come home, the other two of them all ran over to have a look.

"Hey, Dingxiang, you are really cooking dumplings. It seems to have a meaty smell. You are too good at making dumplings! You just separated in the morning and ate meat and drank wine. You went to town in the afternoon. What are you doing?" , So it turns out that not only did you buy Haitang anti-birth medicine, but you also bought meat to make dumplings. You really want to squander all the money and flour in a few days, don’t you want to live this day?”

Chen Shi just finished speaking, Qi Shi said again: "Ding Xiang, you are really ignorant like this, you don't know how difficult the life is, you eat and drink recklessly like this, and spend money recklessly, when the time comes Your family was the first to run out of food and had no money, so don’t starve to death. Last year, when you were out of harvest, you could only drink dilute water in that month, and you fainted several times from hunger, did you forget?”

Zikui stepped forward to talk back, but was held back by Lilac.Ding Xiang calmly and slowly said to them: "Thanks to the concern of the second aunt and the third aunt, it is because I am usually hungry that I want to eat something good. Besides, my sister is weak, so it is appropriate to supplement her."

As for how many taels of silver there are at home, I can't tell.

Unexpectedly, Zi Yurong stretched out his hand very quickly at this moment, and lifted the steamed steamed bun cover, he immediately exclaimed: "Look, the second sister and the third sister have steamed twelve steamed buns! It took a big Not to mention the dumplings in the pot, but with so many steamed buns, how much does each person have to eat! Mom, I want to eat dumplings too, and I want to eat two buns, no, I need to eat three!"

"Our family is a poor family, but we can't afford to eat like this. If we really ignore the world and the earth like this, we will starve to death if we run out of food in the coming year!"

Chen's words were ambiguous, and Ding Xiang was in a panic, didn't she just eat dumplings, didn't she just want to have a full meal, why did it seem like something big happened?
At this time, Haitang put on her shoes and came out of the house, and said softly: "Second Aunt and Third Aunt, it was the Second Sister who thought of making dumplings when she saw that I was too weak, she wouldn't do this every meal, Don't worry too much."

Mrs. Qi sneered and said, "We have nothing to worry about. The money your family spends and the food you cook are not ours." When Mrs. Qi spoke, he kept his eyes on the dumplings in the pot, and he seemed to be too greedy.

In fact, it wasn't just the Qi family, they were all looking at the pot.Haitang saw all this in his eyes, and said: "Second Sister, the dumplings should be done by now, you can serve two of them for each of them."

Zikui shouted: "What? There are only fifty dumplings in total, and you have to give them two? Sister, did you make a mistake, the family has been separated today!"

Haitang still had a gentle expression on her face, "Third Sister, listen to Eldest Sister, our family doesn't make dumplings every day, this is the first time after the separation, it would be nice to make the whole family happy."

Ding Xiang knew what Haitang meant, and if they didn't give them a taste, they wouldn't be able to eat this meal tonight.With so many people watching, how do they eat?But cannibals are soft-spoken but short-handed, and this is the only time, they can't be cheeky to surround them every time, and let them know what it means to be funny in the future.

Zikui was still cocking her mouth, looking very unhappy, Yurong had already gone home to get a bowl, and Rose, Narcissus, and Yuxi also went home to get bowls.Only Yusen stood there without moving. He didn't pay attention to the dumplings, as if he had something on his mind, and asked, "Second Sister, did you see a private school when you went to town this afternoon? I heard that someone came to the town to set up a private school, and the houses were all built." I don’t know if there’s a plaque on the door yet?”

After he asked, Ding Xiang really remembered that a group of people were watching a new house, "You mean Indus Academy? Many people are watching!"

Yusen's eyes lit up immediately, "Have you seen Mr., is there anyone apprentice?"

"I didn't go in to see, so I don't know very well. Yusen, do you want to study?"

Yu Sen's eyes dimmed suddenly, "It's not bad if you can fill your stomach, how can you have the spare money to study?"

Zikui suddenly belatedly said, "Second Sister, how do you know that the word 'Wutong Academy' is written on the door plaque if you don't know how to read?"

Ding Xiang froze for a moment, but immediately reached out and tapped Zikui on the forehead, "Do you know how the pig died? There are so many people around, and they all say it's Wutong Academy. I don't know how to read or listen to it." what."

Zikui was a little puzzled, "How did the pig die? Of course...it was slaughtered and died."

Ding Xiang was terrified immediately, Zikui really didn't have a sense of humor, she wanted to make a joke but she made it so bloody.

Yu Sen smiled politely, "Third Sister, Second Sister is laughing at you for being stupid."

Rose, Narcissus, and Yurong had already brought bowls. Chen and Qi were embarrassed to take out bowls to eat dumplings like children, but asked the children to bring them over, and they stayed in the house.

Yu Sen said he would not eat it, but Ding Xiang still gave him two.There are fifty dumplings in total, and now there are only 36 left.After they dispersed, Ding Xiang served 28 pieces for Haitang, "Sister, this time you will have a good time eating, you will be full, and there will still be steamed buns after eating the dumplings!"

Haitang smiled, "Look at how stupid you are, I'm probably going to be full after eating all of this, so I can't eat the steamed corn bread. Let's eat together when Mom and Dad come home, and you fill up all of Mom and Dad's food."

Zikui couldn't wait to stuff a dumpling into her mouth, and said inarticulately, "It's ready."

At this time, the sky had already darkened, Meng Gui and Mrs. He returned home from work, and when they arrived at the door of their house, they smelled a scent that made people's mouths thirsty.Before they could ask any questions, Zikui told them what happened just now like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Mrs. He wanted to blame the three daughters, but in the end she couldn't blame her. Begonia couldn't keep up with her nutrition for a long time, so there was nothing wrong with nourishing her body. Cloves and purple sunflowers were not greedy, and they were even shared among the second and third families.

Meng Gui put down the hoe, sat there in a daze for a long while, and finally said nothing.The whole family just had dinner in such a quiet manner, and Haitang was finally full after eating 28 large dumplings, never satisfied before.The other four people each ate two dumplings and four steamed buns, and they were all full.

He put down the bowl and chopsticks and said a little willfully: "After eating enough, I feel comfortable all over, and I feel that this day is also at ease."

But Meng Gui stood up, "I'll go to Osmanthus's house, we'll decide whether to keep this baby until I come back, and stop by Weijia Village to ask the mason if he can be free, the price has to be negotiated."

Meng Gui didn't come back until midnight.The Sun family agreed with Haitang to have a child, but the condition was that Haitang could not say that the child's father was Sun Hong, otherwise Sun Hong would not be able to marry Ma Nao. In order to preserve his reputation, Sun Hong would not admit this and would not marry Haitang.As long as the Meng family kept this matter a secret, the Sun family would let Haitang and the child recognize their ancestors in two years.

Meng Gui and Mrs. He discussed for a while, and felt that Haitang had a big belly, and the abortion would be very harmful to the body, and there might be life-threatening risks, so they finally agreed that Haitang should keep the fetus.Haitang finally breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Hong's matter has nothing to do with her, she just wants to have a good baby and be a good mother.

Meng Gui also said that Wei Xiaozi and Wei Dashan will not be free to build the house until five days later, because they have to chop firewood for the winter in these few days.It will take at least two months to finish building the house, and they plan to finish building the Meng family before New Year's Eve.The price was also negotiated, Wei Xiaozi was [-] cents a day, and his nephew Wei Dashan was [-] cents a day. Since he hadn't picked up work for several days, the price he offered was already very low, and Meng Gui readily agreed on the spot.

Ding Xiang secretly thought, that Wei Dashan's salary is only half of his uncle's, it seems that he is just an apprentice, is his craft good?

Building a house doesn't just cost wages, the cost of materials is the big one.Meng Gui also made up his mind, and planned to get up early every morning and go to Li Yao in the town to pull bricks with Mrs. He. It would save a lot of money to pull bricks by himself, and he could choose the bricks by himself. Not to mention a lot of wronged money, it is not necessarily a good brick.

Pull twice in the morning and evening, open up wasteland as usual during the day, without delaying anything.As for the stones for the foundation, there are everywhere on the mountain, and it is enough to pick a load every time I go home from land reclamation, and it is enough to pick a load for five days.

Meng Gui made a good idea, but the next morning, the whole Mengling Village was not at peace.Meng Gui and He Shi had already gone up the mountain to open up wasteland, and Ding Xiang and Zi Kui also went up the mountain to work hard. The four of them were digging hard, but Meng Qing, Chen Shi, Meng Xing and Qi Shi all ran up the mountain.

Mrs. He was a little frightened by their situation, "This is... what's the matter, what can we talk about when we go home for lunch at noon, why are you all running up the mountain? This land has already been agreed Let my family open it, don’t you want it?”

Meng Qing snorted coldly, "Brother and sister-in-law, this is because you are not authentic, and you are still pretending to be stupid with us at any time, and you don't go back to see what the people in the village have become."
