The early morning sun sprinkled all over the small farmhouse yard, Lin Xiujuan got up early in the morning, went to the small vegetable garden to see a basket of cabbage back, Li Manman's hometown cabbage is a very famous yellow heart black variety in later generations, especially cold-resistant in winter, surrounded by green to black vegetable leaves, in the middle is a tender yellow cabbage, as beautiful as a flower, but at this time it is common in the countryside, almost every family is planted, and it is used to make dumplings, wrap buns, and fry and eat in winter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lin Xiujuan put the cabbage basket into the kitchen, and started a pot to cook breakfast, a pot to cook pig food, Li Manman's big pig is about to come out of the circle, Lin Xiujuan has been very careful these days, be sure to let it grow a layer of fat, so that it can be sold at a good price.

Li Manman soaked in the hot spring for a long time last night, and this morning she felt soft, and she was in bed for a while, and at this time she was slowly crawling out of the quilt, and the air outside was very cold, she stuffed her sweater into the quilt, covered it for a while, and then arched it in the quilt to wear it.

"Da Hong, I told you not to dress like this, why don't you listen? Do you see the little girl in that family dressed like this in the bed? If you look like this, your old woman won't beat you to death in the future! Lin Xiujuan entered the house and asked the two children to get up, and saw Li Manman dressing like an earthworm.

Li Manman pouted, lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, put on a big cotton jacket, got on the cotton pants, and said to Lin Xiujuan: "Mom, help me button the cotton pants, I can't button them!" ”

Lin Xiujuan was dressing her son, Taotao was grinning with little white teeth and smiling happily, and the mother and son looked at it together. Seeing this, Li Manman's face turned red: "Hurry up, I can't deduct it!" ”

"How did I give birth to a stupid girl like you!" Lin Xiujuan put down her son's clothes in her hand, stuffed him into the quilt, and came over to button Li Manman's cotton pants.

"It's not that your pants are too thick! It's not that I'm stupid! Li Man muttered. At this time, there are no down pants, wool pants, no El Niño, the climate is much colder than later generations, everyone wears thick cotton clothes and cotton pants, Li Manman's cotton pants are with a front bib, the chest is a whole piece, the back from the waist to make two big straps cross, from the shoulders and the buttons on the front piece of the button, the buttocks there are a slit, with buttons, easy to go to the toilet, Li Manman is now small arms and short arms, can not do anything about the back buttons, so I had to ask my mother for help.

Wearing cotton pants that made it impossible to bend both legs, Li Manman went to wash with a hard face, the water in the water tank formed a thick layer of ice, and Lin Xiujuan punched a hole in the middle, Li Manman broke a piece of ice with his hand and put it in his mouth, feeling the cold coldness suddenly spread to the tail bone, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Mom, my sister has eaten ice! She's disobedient! Taotao was carried out by Lin Xiujuan, just when she saw Li Manman doing something bad, she immediately complained, Li Manman glanced at the little white-eyed wolf, and smiled flatteringly at her mother. Lin Xiujuan frowned and trained her daughter: "Why are you so disobedient!" It's so cold, what are you doing with that ice? After eating a stomachache, I have to take injections and medicines, I think you are just looking for a beating! Why don't you go and wash your face, it's okay if your stomach doesn't hurt today, if it hurts, you see I can beat you? ”

Li Manman didn't expect his mother to dress his younger brother so quickly, and he was caught doing it with such a little back, shrunk his head, threw the ice in his hand to the ground, scooped half a scoop of cold water, and went to the stove to pour a little hot water, adjusted the water temperature, and washed up seriously.

At breakfast, Lin Xiujuan discussed with her husband that she wanted to go to the county seat to do some New Year's goods, and asked him when he had time, Li Tianxue calculated it and told her that the day after tomorrow the village would be a holiday, just find a time to go.

"I'm going to the county seat too!" Li Manman took a sip of sweet potato porridge and made his own request to his parents.

"Go, while playing, adults go to do business, take you there, it's not enough to add to the chaos!" Lin Xiujuan refused, "Follow your milk at home, take Taotao to play!" ”

"I'm going! I'm eight years old, and I haven't been to the county seat yet! I'm grown up this year, you must take me there! Li Manman relied on the small sales, gave full play to the advantages of children, and asked unreasonably.

"You kid, what's going on today? Naughty early in the morning! Lin Xiujuan put down her chopsticks and glared at her daughter, feeling that her daughter was disobedient early this morning.

"I don't care! I'm just going! Li Manman didn't eat anymore, crying and muttering, seeing his mother's tiger face, his father also frowned, knowing that he was cheating, he would not be able to eat and walk around, so he said, "I still want to go to see the used book stall, see if there are any good books, take them back, and open a bookstore!" ”

Li Tianxue felt that his daughter was messing around at first, but later when his daughter said it, he felt that it made sense, the children were eight years old and had been in the countryside, so it was good to take her out to see the world, and after the New Year, the girl would open a rental bookstore, wouldn't it? He nodded: "Go, you can, but you have to be obedient, and you are not allowed to run around!" ”

Li Manman hurriedly nodded: "I must be obedient, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" After saying that, he smiled and said to his mother, "Mom, I still have to eat a bowl of porridge!" ”

Lin Xiujuan glared at her daughter, picked up Li Manman's bowl, and turned her into a bowl of porridge, Li Manman stirred the porridge, took a sip, sweet, didn't feel her head light up, and remembered the very strong fries she liked to eat.

"Mom, what should I do if I can't finish the sweet potatoes in the porridge?" Li Manman provoked a sweet potato and asked.

"Feed the pigs!" Lin Xiujuan said indifferently.

"This sweet potato is so sweet, it's a pity to feed the pigs!" Li Manman pretended to be reluctant.

"Then take it out, rinse it, put it in a basket, dry it and eat it!" Lin Xiujuan said a common method of processing in rural areas, Li Manman ate a lot of such home-made fries when he was a child.

"If we boil sweet potatoes, cut them into strips, and dry them, can we sell them for money? Anyway, I love to eat! Li Manman pretended to have a whim and asked.

Lin Xiujuan has been attracted by making money in the past two days, and as soon as she heard her daughter's thoughts, her mind turned away, anyway, the sweet potatoes are her own, and they are not worth much, so it is better to try it, get a little less first, let Jingsheng help sell it, sell it well, do more, and if you can't sell it, take it back home and eat it yourself.

"I think it should be! I'll try it later! Lin Xiujuan nodded. Li Tianxue didn't speak, he listened to his wife and daughter's words, but he wasn't ready to participate in the opinion, he knew how capable his wife was, and now he felt that the top priority should be to raise money and contract the supply and marketing cooperative.

After eating in two bites, Li Manman went to the bedroom, lit the fire, and wrote her ghost story.

In the countryside in winter, people are the most idle time, men often three or four people make a card pair, play poker, or touch pai gow, while women are busy making preparations for the New Year, cleaning the house, dismantling and washing quilts, cotton clothes, cutting back the vegetables in the field, washing them, and preparing to make dumplings and buns. Some of the children are learning from each other, and some are having fun on their own.

Li Manman didn't write a few words, the army and the second army came, invited Li Manman's sister and brother to run Ling, the east ditch has been frozen, a thick layer of ice, the adults repeatedly told the children not to run on the ice easily, but yesterday, Baolin has already played on it once, so today a few boys can't help it, after eating, they came to Li Manman to play.

Li Manman is very excited, she has not played on real ice for decades, and after entering junior high school, the small ditch in the village rarely has ice that can hold people.

Put down the letter paper and pen, Li Manman wrapped the scarf, put a thick dogskin hat on Taotao, and followed the army brothers to Donggou, and the children of the Li family next door also arrived.

Li Manman didn't want to play with ice, and he had to fight with the next door, so he nodded and agreed. The children of the Li family are in the northern section, and the children of the Li family are in the southern section, with a small-leaved willow as the boundary in the middle.
