Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Ingratiate Mrs. Ho
After He Lanshan went down to pick wild vegetables, she stopped standing in front of Mrs. He, so as not to annoy her again. When she returned to the room, she even took out a handkerchief from her body.

These were used by Mrs. Lu to tie her hands after she took her away during the day, but Gu Liuyun untied them and threw them to her. She stuffed them into her arms and forgot about them.

This handkerchief looks like it is made of silk, and it is smooth to the touch. It is carried by Mrs. Lu, and it seems to be Mrs. Lu's favorite thing.

This damn old lady is very stingy with her granddaughters on weekdays, but she is only willing to be willing to her grandson and herself. He Lanshan complained in her heart. After thinking about it, she didn't know how to deal with it. His eyes lit up.

"Grandma." He Lanshan stood at the door of the chicken coop and called out.

During the day, the chickens are kept in the coop. At night, fearing that the Huang Daxian will come to pick up the chickens and eat them, they will drive them into the cage one by one.Mrs. He just came out after closing the chicken. When she first heard He Lanshan's voice, she was so frightened that she slapped her chest.

"You damn girl are trying to scare me to death, what's the matter?" Mrs. He said impatiently, and slapped her.

"Grandma, this is for you. My father bought it for you when he went to the county seat. He was afraid that you would say that he misused the money, so he asked me to wait for him to leave. He said that all the women in the town wear silk handkerchiefs." I have to get one for my grandma too." He Lanshan opened her mouth with a smile, and in her mouth, He Jinyi was a very filial and considerate son.

The old lady He didn't make a sound, the night was too dark and He Lanshan couldn't see if she was moved.

She snatched the handkerchief away suddenly, put it on her hand and stroked it carefully, while admonishing He Lanshan in a low voice, "Why didn't you take it out earlier, the second child is willing to take such a good thing." .”

"I forgot when Dad was gone. Dad told you not to tell it, lest the father scold him." pain.

"This damn old man can't bear to spend money on me, he's not half as good as my second child." Mrs. He held the silk handkerchief in her hand, looking like she couldn't put it down, and even looked at He Lanshan pleasing to her eyes Many, "Even if you haven't forgotten such an important event that your father explained, tomorrow you want to pick wild vegetables, and half of the hogweed will be thrown into the basket."

"Thank you grandma, grandma is as stern and kind as dad said." He Lanshan said without batting an eye.

"Go, go, go to sleep."

After He Lanshan left Mrs. He, she went back to the second room. She knew the market when she went to the cloth shop that day. Such a silk handkerchief would cost about half a tael if it was embroidered, and a hundred pennies if it wasn't embroidered.

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around. In order to make life easier in the He family, He Lanshan doesn't mind coaxing Mrs. He.

When He Lanshan went back, Zhao Shuangxi hadn't come back yet, so he was probably doing things in the kitchen.The pig food needs to be boiled, and it has to be boiled and boiled until the man goes to work in the fields tomorrow.

When Zhao Shuangxi came back, He Lanshan was dozing off on the small table in the room. As soon as she came in, He Lanshan opened her big eyes and blinked at her, "Mom, you're done!"

"I'm not sleeping yet, I'm waiting for your 'baby'." Although Zhao Shuangxi said that she has not recognized this daughter for a long time, she always feels that the fate of mother and daughter is predetermined. She knows what He Lanshan is thinking, and never From the back basket in her hand, she took out intact frog meat wrapped in taro leaves.

"Mom, where are the ears of rice we picked up before!" He Lanshan was already thinking about cooking frog porridge.

If you steal food in the middle of the night, you dare not touch the things in the stove. There is only one egg in the stove. A handful of Mihe old lady has marked them all. The only thing ready in the second room is that Mrs. Zhao did not have time last time. The ears of rice I ate and the frogs with their skins removed.

Zhao Shuangxi handed the frog chicken wrapped in taro leaves to He Lanshan, then rummaged through the cabinet and found a big bag of rice, the grains of rice were crystal clear and still had germ.

It turned out that He Jinyi killed the chickens and did not touch the ears of rice that day. When Zhao Shuangxi was busy at home, he took a break and went to the neighbor's aunt's house to borrow a stone mill to pound the rice.

"This year's new rice is fragrant, and it's the rice grown in Zhuangzi for the nobles. Their seedlings are good, so they must be delicious." Zhao Shuangxi touched the rice in the bag curiously, took two handfuls out with his hands, and Put it on the tip of your nose and sniff lightly.

"Bring more, my brothers and my mother will each have a bowl of porridge." He Lanshan thought about five people, how could two handfuls of rice be enough.

Under He Lanshan's urging, she took out another half handful of rice with great distress, and resolutely tied the rope of the rice bag tightly, saying: "Eat this and it will be gone, since you little devil has been so troublesome As soon as it came out, those tenant farmers cut the rice carefully, and even if the ears of rice fell, they had to be picked up and handed over to the Zhuangzi, so that no one else could go to their fields to pick them up."

this point?There are fifteen catties of rice ears, and at least ten catties of ground rice, He Lanshan thought that she could have a few more night snacks, so she didn't argue with Zhao Shuangxi, and happily went to get the clay stove up.

Taking the clay stove and jars, Zhao Shuangxi helped He Lanshan wash the rice, and when the porridge boiled, He Lanshan's little man took a pair of large scissors and cut the frog into pieces and threw it down.

When the cooking was almost done, He Lanshan urged Zhao Shuangxi to call the three boys over.

"You secretly cooked delicious food again, it smells so good!" He Qinmao yelled loudly as soon as he came in, squatting excitedly by the side of the small clay stove and sniffing the faint fragrance that permeated around the stove, he couldn't help but He also put a piece of firewood into the stove hole of the mud stove.

Zhao Shuangxi pulled it out just before it was lit, and scolded this naughty bastard who couldn't stop his hands and feet, "If it continues to burn, it will become a sticky mess."

"One person, one bowl, hurry up." Zhao Shuangxi secretly put the bowls and chopsticks in the back basket and brought them here. Now it's her job to fix the stove, as long as she cleans it secretly the next morning after eating .

The three brothers each got a bowl of frog porridge, and He Qinmao's saliva was flooded. He couldn't touch the porridge because it was too hot, so he could only blow on it.

At this time, Zhao Shuangxi suddenly heard Zhao Shuangxi say, "Lanshan has worked so hard to catch frogs. It's hard to cook some porridge and I'm thinking about your three brothers. I don't have a word of thanks. How can my mother teach you all on weekdays?" of!"

She glanced at the three sons, and she acted like He Qinfeng was an older brother, helping He Lanshan cool down the porridge in her bowl.

"Thank you, little sister, this porridge is so delicious." He Qinfeng said after taking a sip.

He Qinmao rolled his eyes when he heard her mother's request, and said, "Sister Smelly, thank you for your porridge. I knew frog porridge was so delicious. I'll get you a big pot!"

Only He Qinzheng didn't move at all, until Zhao Shuangxi specifically named him, and he said in a muffled voice, "Thank you!"

Next, Zhao Shuangxi wanted to say a few more words. The frog porridge was almost cold, and everyone ate it in a hurry. Presumably, the group of young people couldn't listen to what she said now.
