A beautiful little life in a farmhouse

Chapter 16 Cotton: Steamed Fish and Mushroom Fungus Braised Noodles
Mu Wanniang didn't want to stand here and gossip with an old man, she hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, please remember to deliver the jar to me, I'll go back first."

"All right, all right, girl, just wait at home, I promise to deliver it to you when the time comes."

Shi Shi gnawed on the candied haws, Mu Wanniang picked him up and said, "I'll only eat the last one, my tooth will hurt by then."

"Ah."

I really only ate one stone and didn't eat any more.

After going back, Mu Wanniang didn't go to the next door to bring Sanwa back first, but put away the bought things first, and let Shishi play with Xiaoheixiaobai in the yard. She brought the cloth and Cotton went to find Widow Shen.

Now Widow Shen is at home alone, and she was surprised for a while when she saw her.

"What is Wanniang looking for for her aunt?"

Mu Wanniang took out the cloth and cotton, and said directly: "I know that the aunt in our village is the best at making clothes. This is a little cotton that I finally bought in the county. I don't want to spoil it, so I want my aunt to help me make a winter outfit for Sanwa. Of course, I will definitely have to pay you, auntie."

Although I was quite surprised that Mu Wanniang had cotton, but I heard that Mu Wanniang had a good relationship with the shopkeeper Zhang in that county. It is not difficult to get cotton, let alone some The salary is also considered good.

"Auntie can do it for you, but if you are not satisfied when the time comes, this..."

Mu Wanniang waved her hand, "Auntie, you can do whatever you want, Sanwa is so small now, so don't settle for any style."

This time, Mu Wanniang only brought some made for Sanwa. Seeing that Widow Shen agreed to collect both the cloth and cotton, she continued: "However, Auntie will help me keep it a little secret about my cotton. Knowing that my family is very prone to trouble, so..."

Widow Shen hurriedly said: "I understand, Wanniang, don't worry, my aunt won't even tell Xiaocui."

"That's all right, thank you, auntie."

When Mu Wanniang returned home, Widow Shen had just put the cloth and cotton into her box and locked it, when she came out she saw her daughter Shen Xiaocui coming in from outside.

"Mother, what did Mu Wanniang come to my house for?" When she came back just now, she happened to see Mu Wanniang who was leaving the house.

Widow Shen pinched her sleeves, "Oh, she said that there was no lard at home, and she wanted to borrow some. I told her that the food was finished at home, and she went back."

Shen Xiaocui was usually close to Mu Shuangshuang, so naturally she didn't have a good impression of Mu Wanniang.

"Mother, don't borrow things from our family. If she comes to borrow things next time, don't lend them to her."

After she finished speaking, she went out again, and she had to tell Shuangshuang about this matter, after Mu Wanniang borrowed money to repair the prescription, she really ran out of money, and she started borrowing oil.

After hearing about this incident, the members of the Mu family stopped talking about Mu Wanniang's house.

"I see what she will do in the future, but she has no money to eat."

Mu Wanniang, who was thought to be unable to survive the winter, was returning to the jar she had sent, and Sanwa, who had just learned to walk, was being played with a toy she had just bought by the stone.

It was almost time for lunch, so Mu Wanniang simply made some steamed fish and cucumber tofu soup for lunch.

Now Sanwa can also eat some meat, especially when she is sitting in Mu Wanniang's arms, she can only see the meat and ignore the soup next to her.

Mu Wanniang spent a lot of thought to pick up the fish meat for the two children, worried that there would be thorns on it, so she fixed it before eating.

She decided to wait until the two children were old enough to spit spines on their own before making fish to eat.

After the meal, Shitou and Sanwa sat on the balcony and played together. When the house was being built, Mu Wanniang asked the carpenter Tao to build a platform in the front yard, and spread a mat on it. The two children happened to sit on it. on top.

Mu Wanniang was also sitting in the yard, ready to pickle some vegetables, and to prepare some sauces, such as chili sauce and tomato sauce. Although there is no such thing here, she can still make it at home.

Also, the sesame seeds I bought before have to be made with sesame oil.

Mu Wanniang felt that she was too busy.

After finishing all these with difficulty, she didn't want to move anymore.

She used to lie on the balcony to rest with Sanwa in her arms, and asked Shitou next to her, "Shitou, is it okay to eat noodles at night?"

As cute as a rock, "Elder Sister cooks anything delicious."

So Mu Wanniang simply made three bowls of stewed noodles with mushrooms and fungus, and then fed Xiaohei Xiaobai. Before it was dark, she was going to move some vegetables out of the space.

The vacant vegetable garden in the backyard is not small. Even if there are guests at home, they seldom come to the backyard. Even if they see Mu Wanniang, they have something to do with it.

She moved a chili plant and a cotton plant, and planted green onions, garlic sprouts, coriander, etc., which are often used in cooking, in a vertical row, and she used the last row to grow fruits.

Fruits are common here. She had seen grapes, pomegranates, and even lychees and strawberries growing in their fields in Lihua Village. The latter two had heard from people in the village that the seeds of these fruits in the county were all They are sold, and most of them are from the capital city, and they are very common here now.

Mu Wanniang planted grapes, pomegranates, lychees, and strawberries first, regardless of the season, anyway, she will wait for the season to water some spiritual springs to ensure that it will not die.

She also put a lemon plant in the middle and mixed it with the yellow and red tomatoes.

Then she planted some common vegetables on the other side, and just like that, the vegetable garden was already full.

Shitou ran over to ask Sister to change the third baby's diaper. Seeing so many things suddenly growing up, he widened his eyes and asked, "Sister, when did these things grow?"

Before, the stone was just a piece of land, bare, how could it grow out overnight?
Mu Wanniang flickered, "It was sister who bought the grown seeds before, and sister was too busy before, so she kept it there, so you didn't find out."

It turned out to be like this, Shitou nodded in confusion, and immediately took her hand, intending to take her to the house.

"Sanwa peed in his pants again."

Mu Wanniang sighed, it is really tiring to bring a baby.

It would be great if both Shitou and Sanwa were older, and it would be even better if they could help her with some housework.

"Oh." Mu Wanniang sighed deeply.

The carefree Sanwa was rolling around on the bed at the moment, Mu Wanniang took him to take a bath, and immediately felt the temperature outside.

It is almost autumn now, and the weather is still so hot.

But I heard Mrs. Du said that the weather will change at any time, and I don't know when this summer will end, so Mu Wanniang thought about going to buy a chicken tomorrow and kill it before summer. , can be regarded as enjoyable.
