The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 4

Zhang De hurried along the narrow path. At this time, there were still stars in the sky, and the moon was still shining faintly on one side, but the sky had changed from pitch black to light blue.

At the fourth watch, Zhang Dehou was at the gate of the city, and as soon as the gate was opened, he rushed home anxiously.There is a large bag of cornmeal on my shoulders, and two candied haws I bought yesterday. I need to go home quickly, otherwise the children at home will not know if they are hungry.Thinking that he hadn't gone back for six days, the food at home must have been eaten up long ago, and Aunt Zhang next door should take care of him, so he could only comfort himself in this way.

These days Zhang De received jobs at the wharf, all of which were moving jobs, but because the goods were rushed and the wages were high, he signed up without thinking.As a result, the expectation greatly exceeded his estimate, and it took six days before and after.But since he agreed, there is no possibility of going back on his word, otherwise he would never have to hang out on the pier again.

But the good news is that after buying a month's worth of food this time, there are still two hundred copper coins left. Winter is coming, and the two dolls in the family also need to prepare some cotton clothes, otherwise how can such a small doll survive the severe winter.

When Zhang De arrived at the village, the sun had already risen.When the villagers saw Zhang De, they greeted him one after another, and when they saw him carrying grain, they all smiled and asked where he got rich recently.

Zhang De exchanged some pleasantries while walking.It is estimated that nothing happened at home, otherwise why would there be no movement at all.He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Opening the wooden door of the house, he walked under the window of the room where the two dolls slept, and saw that they were sleeping peacefully. He felt relieved and prepared to carry water to cook breakfast.

Nuan Bao slept soundly, and vaguely heard the sound of chopping firewood outside, woke up with a start, and ran out quickly.

Zhang De heard the sound of the door opening in the yard, and saw Nuan Bao running out, and said with a smile, "Xiao Nuan, it's getting cold today, go back and put on more clothes."

Nuan Bao looked at his little uncle, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, and a strong and thick nose, he looked like a simple and honest Tian family man.Although she has such a person in her memory, she has never seen it with her own eyes.

"Why are you looking at my little uncle like this? Could it be that I have forgotten my little uncle?" Zhang De was a little amused. Could it be that Xiao Nuan didn't know himself anymore after not coming back for so long.

Nuan Bao laughed, "How come, Xiao Nuan fell asleep for a while." After speaking, he ran back to the room.

Wake up Xiaofu, tell her little uncle is back, Xiaofu yelled and ran out without combing his hair, not long after, he heard Xiaofu's happy voice swaying in the yard.Nuan Bao couldn't help laughing.

Nuan Bao took care of herself in the room, and asked Xiaofu to come back and comb her bun. It seems that she needs to buy a red string for Xiaofu to tie on the bun, otherwise her good looks will be wasted, and she will be a cute baby.

He squeezed her little face, and watched her wrinkled into a bun face with satisfaction, hey, it really matched Xiaofu's hairstyle.

Over there, Zhang De had already seen the cooled rabbit meat in the kitchen, and when he saw Nuan Bao coming out, he asked, "Xiao Nuan, who brought the rabbit meat?"

Nuan Bao touched his head, "I picked it up when I was digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. It hit a tree and killed itself, so I picked it up."

"Hey, Xiaonuan is really lucky. The little uncle will eat rabbit meat today because of your favor. By the way, the little uncle bought a bag of cornmeal, which is probably enough for you to eat for a month. I plan to eat it. The next time I go to the city, I will stay a few more days to earn some money to survive the winter."

"Little uncle, don't worry, I have me at home, and I will take good care of Xiaofu." The little uncle is worrying about the winter, and he should help, but how to make money.

After Zhang De heard about it, he continued to chop the wood he picked up from the mountain into small pieces, and asked Nuan Bao to open the package he brought back, telling her that there were two candied haws inside, and asked the two sisters to share.

To be honest, this is the first time I have eaten candied haws Nuanbao.In her previous life, she was taught not to eat outside food and not to be greedy since she was a child.When I was young, I was quite envious of the friends around me, but I didn't have this need until I grew up.

Nuan Bao and Fu Bao sat on the small stools, eating sweet snacks, watching the little uncle chopping firewood.It would be great if the little uncle was at home all the time, so she wouldn't have to worry about going hungry one day. Nuan Bao was like a little idiot when it came to life skills.If she didn't have the memory of this life, she still doesn't know what to do.

After lunch, the little uncle asked Nuan Bao and Xiao Fu to go out to play with friends today, because in the past when he was not at home, the two sisters did all the housework, and they didn't have time to play.

When Xiao Fu saw his little uncle coming back, he had long thought of going to Er Niu's house to play.Because Er Niu's family is rich, Er Niu eats a lot and grows fat. Naturally, other friends laugh at him every time they see him as a fat boy.Xiaofu is the only one in the village who doesn't dislike him, so Er Niu clings to Xiaofu as soon as he sees her.

The stupid Erniu doesn't understand that Xiaofu doesn't dislike him because of his jerky, candy and other snacks, and the delightful appearance of Xiaofu's meat buns are very popular with Erniu's family.

Nuan Bao didn't say anything when she knew about it. Although Xiao Fu was greedy, she knew good and bad, and treated Er Niu sincerely, treating him as a good friend.

Since she doesn't have to look after Xiaofu today, she also has the opportunity to visit this small village.

There are dozens of households in Zhangjia Village, except for a few people with the surname outside the village, the rest are all surnamed Zhang.There is a dirt road in the village extending to the county seat, and there is also a big green mountain on the back. There are streams at the foot of the mountain and waterfalls in the mountain. In addition, surrounded by farmland and shaded by green trees, Zhangjia Village is really a beautiful small village.

Nuan Bao plans to go to the stream to play in the water.The stream water is cold and refreshing, and it is very comfortable to put your little feet in it.The warm sun shone on her body, smelling the sweet air, Nuan Bao unconsciously relaxed her body, lying on the warm pebbles on the shore.

Suddenly felt something slipping by his feet, Nuan Bao was startled, got up to check, oh, it turned out to be a small whitebait.The whole body of this kind of small fish is transparent, and there are silver lines on the body of the fish. They don't grow up big, but they have strong reproductive ability. They usually swim by in groups.

Nuan Bao followed this small fish, walking lightly, intending to follow it to find a school of fish. The fried whitebait is delicious.Put some pepper and Sichuan pepper powder, deep-fry it, it is fragrant and crispy, it is very good for cooking or snacks.

Follow it to the edge of a stone, and there is a group of small fish hiding in the gaps between several stones.There are many weeds growing in the gaps, and the little fish probably grew up eating grass.Natural and pollution-free aquatic products, Nuan Bao excitedly blocked the gap in the gap with his hand, the fish were startled, and they swam out one after another, bumping into Nuan Bao's hand in one swim.

Nuan Bao held up the school of fish with his hand, the palm is not big, but there are dozens of them.Nuan Bao tied up the hem of his clothes to make a pocket, and caught a few times with the method just now, and there was a small pocket of fish in total.

Thinking of taking it back to let my uncle and Fu Bao have a taste, Nuan Bao ran home happily.
