Full of food and color

Chapter 77 Trivia about Niangen ([-]) Important notice! ~~~
As soon as mid-autumn passed on August [-]th, the soybeans in the field were about to be harvested. After the soybeans were harvested, they had to plant wheat without stopping. In addition, the two acres of cornfields reserved for their own food could not be left behind. The family went back and forth. After that, I was really busy for more than half a month, but the busyness returned to busyness. At this time of the year, the joy of harvest always made the whole Chen family happy for a while.

During this period of time, Baozhu suspended her small business. She went to cook for her family in the morning and evening, practiced calligraphy at home in the morning, and went to help in the field in the afternoon. Baskets of soybean seedlings are dragged outside on the cart.

The whole summer has enough sunshine, good rain, and the harvested soybeans are bright yellow in color and full of grains. Baozhu heard from her father that this year’s soybean harvest is good, and the merchants who buy grain in the county sell them at a higher price than in previous years. .

By the time Baozhu and Sipei made candied hawthorns out of newly picked hawthorns and sold them in the town, it was already September.

I haven't seen him for a few days. These days, Wei Sipei didn't know who he learned the method from. He used bamboo and wheat straw to weave a candied gourd grass target for Baozhu, and the candied gourds were inserted on the grass target. It is suitable, and the grass target is small, and it is easy to hold it. It is much more convenient than the original box. Seeing that he is so concerned about making money, Baozhu feels that he does not take any money. It's not a taste, and he is even more obedient on weekdays. Every now and then, he makes an exquisite snack in the house and sends it to him to taste.

As the end of autumn approached, the business slowed down a lot. When I was young, I only earned four or five Wen a day. Even so, Baozhu still smiled every day and went to the town to sell it once a day.Wei Sipei didn't care too much, besides helping his father harvest herbs, he spent most of his time doing business with Baozhu. Baozhu persuaded him several times, saying that the money would be divided equally, but he insisted on not wanting it, saying it was Baozhu. Let's talk about making a lot of money in the future.

He escorted the orb back and forth every day, and it was not too boring. He held a book every day, and when there were no guests, he just sat and read it.

When Baozhu saved more than 500 yuan in his hand, Baozhu thought about what to do with the money. Wei Sipei was reading an agricultural book in his hand, and said with a smile that he could buy some fish fry and dig a pond to raise them. Or buy some fruit tree seedlings and plant a few in your own yard to try.

Baozhu knew that he had read a lot of agricultural books recently, so he thought of a way to make money for himself, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, because the two of them had no experience in breeding and breeding, and they wanted to raise small fry Fertilization is not as easy as a few sentences in the book, and there will definitely be problems such as feeding, disease, temperature, etc. In other words, breeding and planting are not what she is good at, and she is not sure whether she can succeed or not. I'm afraid the investment of five hundred dollars is not enough.Furthermore, someone in the village has already set a precedent. In the north of the village, there is a family surnamed Wang who specializes in selling fish in the whole village.

After much deliberation, I decided to save the money first, wait until next year and then secretly sell it for a year, and save the usual money before thinking about other money-making ideas.

When the work in the field stopped, Mrs. Wang had time to boil hawthorn sauce, and she had to dismantle and mend the padded jackets for the children to wear in winter, and each person had a pair of padded shoes every year.

Mrs. Wang is sitting in the yard making padded shoes for a few children at the moment, thinking that Baozhu is a girl, and she has grown up gradually in the past few years. It doesn’t look good to wear black padded shoes with her brothers. Get a fancy shoe upper for your baby.

For more than half a year, Baozhu always ran to Dr. Wei's house every day, but Wang didn't blame her. She said that Baozhu had always been big-minded, and she knew how to read and write with her brother Sipei when she was young. Cooking and cooking are also quick to learn. If it is a boy, it is definitely not worse than the boss, that is, he is not very talkative since he was a child, and adults can't figure out what is on his mind.

Hearing Dr. Wei say that he and Si Pei are making candied haws recently, Mrs. Wang couldn't help showing a smile. According to Baozhu's father, her daughter is getting bigger and bigger, and she can't look good when she runs out all day, but Mrs. Wang is not like this Thinking about it, I persuaded him that the girl always has her own ideas, and she hasn't done a single bad thing to the family in these years. Sipei is also the best child, so what else can make people worry?Furthermore, my daughter is only seven years old this year, she is a little girl, why is she always staying at home, so Mrs. Wang didn't inquire carefully about what Baozhu was busy outside, so she let her do it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Baozhu come back from the outside, glared at her, smiled and asked her to come over for a measurement, "Being free recently, I will make you a jacket with the few feet of red cloth that your sister-in-law brought when she came to pick up Zhaodi earlier." son."

Baozhu happily moved towards Wang Shi, "Do you guys have any?"

Mrs. Wang was holding Baozhu's arm. Seeing that the cuff was a little short, she couldn't help sighing, "In the past few years, money has been used everywhere in the house. It's hard for you and the second child. This year, mother Make a new jacket for my baby." Baozhu shook her head and said to her mother, "It's not easy for elder brother to study outside these few years, mother, don't just think about me."

Wang's heart felt sour for a while, "Your grandma cares about your elder brother. You don't know that the clothes are made new every spring, and this year is not bad. Your second brother wears the same jacket that your elder brother wears." It is Baozhu, and the jacket he is wearing was mended the year before last.

Baozhu knew her mother's painstaking efforts, so she didn't say anything else, but smiled and said to Wang that the red coat was beautiful, and then Wang picked up the shoe soles at hand to work again, and talked about this year's harvest, saying yes. The bean harvest is bumper, and this year will be a good year. In a few days, her father will go to the county to sell the soybeans harvested in front of the house, and then send some clothes and food to Runze.

When Baozhu heard this, she regained her spirits and said that she wanted to go to the county town with her father to visit her elder brother.

The mother and daughter were gossiping, when the outside door knocked softly, Wang didn't even raise his head, "Your second brother should go back from the field."

Baozhu followed suit and looked out, laughing and complaining: "Second brother is the most diligent, he doesn't have a lot of land, he works with it every three days, weeds and fertilizes, he is really full of energy."

Mrs. Wang also sighed, "That's right, people are hard-working and fat. If your second brother can give your second uncle the energy, how can the whole family be so poor?"

Baozhu frowned and asked her mother: "Has Second Aunt come again recently?"

"Your second aunt is a poor person. She was so busy that she didn't touch the ground. I helped your father for a few days, and she fell ill recently." Wang snorted from her nose, He muttered again, "As for your second uncle, that slacker, he might not be able to make money in the county, and so is that woman. Xiujuan is still so young, but she can pack up her burden and follow. What evil did she do? !"

Baozhu still wanted to ask, but Wang waved her hands again and again, "Look, mother, I shouldn't have said these things to you." Then she put down the soles of her shoes and looked at the door, saying that no one was there when the door rang, so she asked her to take a look. go.

Baozhu responded, and walked out of the gate. After walking a few steps, she saw a small head cautiously poking in through the crack of the door. Looking inside, she didn't come in when she saw Baozhu, but disappeared through the crack of the door in a flash. .

Baozhu ran to the door in two or three steps, seeing that she hadn't gone far, she stood at the door of her house, glanced at her, then quickly lowered her head.

Baozhu smiled and waved, "Xiujuan, come here, come to my sister!"

She pursed her lips in silence, shook her head, and seeing Baozhu's smile again, she walked timidly in front of Baozhu with small small steps.

Baozhu went to fetch her, "Go inside, sister will bring you something delicious, okay?"

She stretched out her hand very cooperatively this time, and Baozhu led her into the courtyard, and said to Wang with a smile, "It's Xiujuan who is here."

Went into the room again to get her a piece of snack. Wang called Xiujuan outside, but she didn't go to Wang's. As soon as Baozhu came out, her eyes quickly turned to the snack in Baozhu's hand.

Baozhu handed it to her with a smile. She ate up the snacks in twos and twos, but stood still and refused to leave. Wang loved Xiujuan very much, and sighed and said, "What a wonderful baby, I'm so frightened by that mother-in-law." Such a timid look."

Baozhu led her into the house to play again, and brought out some toys to tease her. She looked at them enviously, but she refused to reach out to pick them up, and just sat quietly on the kang and stared at them.Baozhu teased her to talk again, she either shook her head or nodded, but refused to say a word.

Baozhu said in her heart that this child was used to being beaten and scolded since she was a child, so that it was difficult to open her heart to others. Maybe she had eaten pancakes at her house before and remembered the way, knowing that neither she nor her mother knew how to fight. The person who scolded her would come here so cautiously.

Every time I see Xiujuan, it brings back many memories of her previous life.She grew up in an orphanage in her previous life, and she saw many children who were abandoned by their parents or who had been abused. She knew that such children were extremely sensitive, especially for a little girl like Xiujuan who was less than four years old, she needed more attention. Be more patient with her.

Remembering that she had seen it several times before, just because Xiujuan refused to call out, Qian beat her in front of outsiders, and she was even more angry with Qian in her heart.

Although Xiujuan didn't say a word, she was very well-behaved. She knew that she had to take off her shoes when going to the kang, and she knew how to be careful not to touch anything. She sat on the kang honestly and listened to Baozhu's storytelling. Baozhu liked her more and more, and only sent her back after dinner.

After seeing off Xiujuan, she ran into the kitchen like a gust of wind, and said to Mrs. Wang, "Mother, let's bring Xiujuan here to raise ourselves, will it work?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, then recovered quickly, and scolded her: "Baby, you can't say this in front of your uncles!" Born by my mother, no matter how much Mother Xiujuan beats and scolds, she disciplines her own baby. If you can tell me, I will give it to you? It’s a good idea! If you really feel sorry for your sister Xiujuan, treat her better in the future, and you are a baby again. Sister, the left and right are not outsiders."

Baozhu pursed her mouth and went into the house. She also knew that the request just now was a bit willful, so she was not surprised at what her mother said.But every time I see Xiujuan's pitiful little face and think of what happened to her, I can't help but want to take care of her.
