Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Here Comes the Crap

When the villagers finished eating and went to work again, there were only a few black-faced steamed buns left in the house, and the dishes on the table were swept away like clouds in the autumn wind.

"Here, you guys make do with something to eat, and I'll cook more tomorrow." Zhao Shuangxi felt embarrassed looking at the empty table.

She had already made the portion bigger, and cut up a whole Chinese cabbage, but she didn't expect it was still not enough.

"Mom, I left some shepherd's purse!"

At this time, He Lanshan's cleverness was revealed. When she first saw that the villagers who came in were all tall and burly men, she thought that she would definitely not give them leftovers, and besides, they would not charge money for their help. of.

When she was boiling the shepherd's purse, she grabbed a handful and put it in the bowl, then turned it upside down.

When Zhao Shuangxi heard this, she smiled happily, and hurriedly cut up the shepherd's purse that He Lanshan had secretly left behind for salad, and the family of six avoided eating dry steamed buns.

The black-faced steamed buns are so hard that the throat is stuck, and it is really not easy to swallow if there is no food to order.

A midday meal was passed away like this.

After dinner, He Qinfeng took out four sweet potatoes from the basket, stuffed them to He Lanshan and said, "Look, little girl, this is what Ah Zheng and I earned by beating pigweed. We have one sweet potato for each basket. Four baskets of pigweed were harvested today."

"I'll go with you!" He Lanshan knew that the family was still struggling, mainly due to the lack of income. Anyway, she had nothing to do at home, so she could go out to help with work.

"No need, I'm very tired. You stay at home obediently. I'll let my mother bake two sweet potatoes for you to eat." He Qinfeng smiled and patted He Lanshan's forehead in distress.

He Lanshan grabbed his hand and put it in front of her eyes.

Sure enough, there were fine scratches cut out by pigweed on the palm, and the juice of pigweed was also stained, which was difficult to wash off. These four baskets of pigweed were really useless hands.

"Hey, you guys go, one and a half baked sweet potatoes will be eaten later." Zhao Shuangxi was no stranger to it, no kid in the village looked like this.

He Qinfeng and He Qin were helping Liu San in the village to beat pigweed. He had just married and went to the town to do part-time work on weekdays. The family fed two pigs, but her daughter-in-law had a big belly a few days ago and her fetus moved again. That's why he hired two young men from the He family to beat pigweed.

He Lanshan's core is not from here, and she always feels that children of this age should learn to read and write in school. Thinking of the two children working so hard to fight pigweed, and letting herself eat roasted sweet potatoes, she feels uncomfortable.

Seeing He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng going out with a basket taller than their own, He Lanshan squatted on the ground, picked up branches and drew circles on the ground.

What should I think about?
"Mom, what will our family rely on to make money in the future?"

Zhao Shuangxi is not used to He Lanshan asking questions like a child.

She looked at the wind outside, it was blowing loudly, the pig in the yard was jumping around, she just tied it with a rope to prevent it from going far, it was in the yard The ground is chaotically arched.

"Make money. After the house is built, mother will go to the county town to wash clothes for others. People in the county town are lazy in winter, so they can earn a few copper coins. With your parents around, you don't have to worry about making money."

Zhao Shuangxi had heard He Jinyi talk a lot about the county town, and in her eyes, the county town was a place where anyone who was willing to work could make money, and she didn't have to worry about food.

He Lanshan thinks that Zhao Shuangxi's idea is not very good. Helping people wash clothes in winter, the water is so cold, it's useless!
"Ah, there's nothing to eat at home, so what would you like to eat when Brother Gu comes over? No, no, I have to ask someone to change some eggs back." Zhao Shuangxi said in a hurry and went out with a rice bag .

In the evening, the villagers who helped the He family took two black-faced steamed buns and went home for dinner.

After all, making three meals a day for so many people is too much for most women.So this is also the rule in the village. They eat their own meals in the morning, eat at the house-builder’s house at noon, and take two black-faced steamed buns home and eat comfortably in the evening.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Shuangxi looked around at the door.

"Mother, why don't we have dinner? It's fine if brother Liuyun doesn't come." He Lanshan felt that Gu Liuyun would never be hungry. My God, he knows martial arts. How can birds and beasts do anything to him? I can't eat it.

"You girl!" Zhao Shuangxi patted her hands away, and said, "I see that Brother Gu is a shy person, and he will have the nerve to come to our house when it gets dark."

"Shushi" came the sound of a big sack being dragged across the ground.

"It must be Brother Gu!" Zhao Shuang said happily.

He Lanshan felt that she had fallen out of favor with Zhao Shuangxi, and now he was happiest looking at Gu Liuyun!

Sure enough, it was Gu Liuyun who came in from the yard, dragging something in his hand, and when he walked in, he fell to the ground with a "boom", and it was a fluffy prey.

"Brother Liuyun, did you hit this? It's so powerful!" He Qinzheng emerged from the room, his little tiger teeth bared, and he looked at Gu Liuyun adoringly.

Gu Liuyun flicked a strand of beard and hair that blocked his sight, but his eyes fell on He Lanshan and refused to move away, muttering: "Little bean sprouts, I came to your house for dinner, this is my gift for you .”

"Oh, Brother Gu, you can just come to eat, what gifts do you bring, this is a deer, it's such a big deer!" Zhao Shuangxi's eyes lit up when he saw the deer on the ground.

At this time, the deer on the ground was still struggling for a while.

"This deer blood is said to be a good thing." He Jinyi also came out, looked at the deer and said, he used to work in a restaurant, so his knowledge is naturally better than that of the people in the village.

The deer is not dead, it must be able to bleed some blood.

As soon as Zhao Shuangxi heard that it was a good thing, he hurried to get a knife and a bowl and came back, and sure enough, half a bowl of blood was spilled.

The He family's dining table is brand new. He Jinyi just bought it for two renminbi. It is made of pear blossom wood and is rectangular. It is just right for seven people to sit.

"Brother Gu, you are the one who called the deer, drink the blood of the deer to nourish yourself!"

"Uncle and aunt, just call me Liuyun, I don't want deer blood, I'm hungry." Gu Liuyun smiled, and pushed back the deer blood that Zhao Shuangxi politely put in front of her.

Zhao Shuangxi was fascinated by this smile, what a handsome boy!
The bowl of deer blood was pushed back and forth on the table, and finally He Jinyi drank it down.

This meal was specially prepared by Zhao Shuangxi. He went to buy fish himself, a piece of braised crucian carp, fried bacon with eggs, and a bowl of Chinese cabbage, served with white rice!
Who knows, Gu Liuyun is very picky about food. He thought the braised crucian carp had too many thorns, so he only picked a few bites from the belly of the fish. He didn't have much interest in fried bacon with eggs, but a bowl of rice was clean .
