Back in the front yard, Su Shi really pulled out a bag of things from the room. Li Xiaonuan took it and saw that it was the peanut bag that day. She opened the bag and looked at it, and found that the peanuts were trendy, so she brought a basket and poured out all the peanuts. The small bag of raw peanuts was dried by Li Xiaonuan on the plaque alone.

Because he was worried that the peanuts would rot, Li Xiaonuan peeled one off and tasted it, but he was relieved that he didn't taste the bitterness. She tasted it again, and felt that the resurgence was a little stronger, and it had changed a little.

Looking at the peanuts on the plaque, Li Xiaonuan suddenly felt energetic. Wait, she will make peanuts an indispensable crop for Qi Song. After thinking about it, she peeled ripe peanuts. was peeling hard, and a voice came out of Leng Buding's side.

"What is this, it looks so strange."

Li Xiaonuan was startled and looked up at the source of the sound.

Zhou Liufei was staring at the peanuts on the plaque with a curious expression, wanting to reach out and pick it up to find out. may not have heard Li Xiaonuan's answer, he retracted his hand again and looked at Li Xiaonuan curtly.

Li Xiaonuan was a little funny, thinking that this man was really cute. However, he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear of scaring others. In order to hide the rising corners of his mouth, Li Xiaonuan peeled off a large and plump peanut and handed it to Zhou Liufei.

"Brother Liu Fei, this is called peanuts, and they can be eaten. Moreover, this was brought back by the elder brother of the Zhao family from a long distance, but we Qi Song didn't have it. You taste it. ”

Zhou Liufei shyly took the peanut, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and returned: "It's a little salty, it should be cooked." The taste is not bad, similar to the taste of fried walnuts. ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled and didn't continue to discuss peanuts, but asked, "Brother Liu Fei, aren't you repairing the house, why did you come to my house?" Could it be that something is missing? ”

Zhou Liufei scratched his head unnaturally, nodded with a smile: "Hey, it's two purlins missing, I'll look for it." ”

Li Xiaonuan frowned and thought about it, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden strip on the right side of the house covered by a thick layer of straw and said, "Purlin, it's right there, you can find it yourself." Take two more with you, and save another trip when you can. ”

Zhou Liufei nodded, glanced at Li Xiaonuan quickly, and said with red ears: "Hey, then I'll look for it." With that, he strode towards the pile of sticks.

Su Shi stuck his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Xiao Nuan, who are you talking to?" ”

Li Xiaonuan continued to peel peanuts without raising his head, and returned: "It's Brother Liu Fei, who came to find purlins." ”

Over there, Zhou Liufei also stopped and said hello: "Auntie, are you busy?" ”

Su Shi walked out of the kitchen, looked at Zhou Liufei with a smile, and replied, "There's nothing to be busy with, just clean up the kitchen." Liu Fei, how is the house being repaired? ”

Zhou Liufei continued to rummage in his hand and replied: "It's almost ready." After going to the roof for the past two days, I will buy a bed the day after tomorrow, and I will be able to live in it. ”

Hearing the sound, Dad Li walked out of the room, walked to the pile of wooden sticks and helped select purlins: "Liu Fei, these two are good, and there are these two." You take them all back, and then send them back when you have the rest. ”

Zhou Liufei smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Oh, thank you, uncle." Then I'll go back first, and I'll use it over there. ”

Su Shi and Li Dad both urged him: "Go, go, it's a serious matter to repair the house quickly." ”

As soon as Zhou Liufei left, Su Shi rubbed to Li Xiaonuan's side and asked her curiously: "Xiaonuan, what did Liu Fei tell you just now?" ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Su Shi suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "He just asked me what this is." What's wrong? ”

Su Shi looked at Li Xiaonuan with a puzzled look, glanced at her, and said with a smile to himself: "It's okay, I just think that this guy Liu Fei is very good." With that, he went back to the kitchen.

Daddy Li walked over, looked at the peanuts that had been half peeled, picked one up and asked, "Xiao Nuan, is this thing really so useful?" ”

Li Xiaonuan replied happily: "Of course it is of great use." When I plant it, you can see. ”

Li Dad studied peanuts and asked casually: "How are these peanuts grown, are they the same as soybeans or are they the same as rice?" ”

Dad Li's words reminded Li Xiaonuan: "Dad, before Xiaoyang asked the Chinese to help keep an eye on the fields, I don't know what the result was." Our family has just two acres of land, and we can't even eat porridge after paying taxes. ”

Li Dad put down the peanuts and said a little sadly: "Yes, we have to buy some land." If it weren't for the fact that my father has been useless in the past few years, our family wouldn't even be able to eat. ”

"Dad, where do you want to go? Look, you're in good health, and you can do things again, but I'm afraid our family will starve. Besides, when you buy land, you won't be able to grow it alone. I'm still thinking about taking care of two part-time jobs. Seeing that Dad Li was about to look back on the past, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly comforted him.

As soon as he heard that he wanted to take care of short-term workers, Father Li asked: "How much land do you plan to buy, and you still have to take care of short-term workers?" ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled proudly and said, "You have to buy thirty acres of fertile land and twenty acres of good land." At that time, you will definitely not be able to plant alone, of course, you will have to hire a short-term worker. ”

Father Li disagreed: "This is only how much land, where to hire a short-term worker." When the time comes, just ask a few of your uncles to help. ”

Li Xiaonuan did not refute, but pointed out one by one: "Dad, the second uncle's body is broken, and he will not be able to do heavy work in the future." The third uncle now prefers hunting, and the family has a lot of fields. The fourth uncle's family only has more than a dozen acres of land, and they are all hiring short-term workers. As for the fifth uncle, he is now working as a partner in the city. When the farm was busy, he always asked me and Xiaoyang to help. ”

Father Li had nothing to say, so he had to respond: "Okay, our family is really going to buy land, let's hire two short-term workers." Otherwise, you'll have to work hard. ”

The corners of Li Xiaonuan's mouth widened, and she opened a big smile and coquettishly said to Li Dad: "Hey, I know that my father feels sorry for us the most." ”

The old lady came out of the house, and when she saw this scene, she said, "What a big girl, why are you still so big and small." Boss, you are still injured, just let the Xiao Nuan sisters and brothers do those things. Raising a child is so big, but it's not for you to take care of it. ”

Seeing that the old lady was dressed neatly, Father Li nodded and asked, "Hey, I know my mother." Mother, where are you going? ”

"I'll go for a walk around the village and come back at lunch." The old lady said and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan followed him to the outside of the hospital, turned back to Dad Li and said, "Dad, my grandma went to Mrs. Zhou's house." ”

Daddy Li nodded and continued to wander around the yard. These days, his body is well-nourished, his originally thin torso has plumped up a lot, and his rickety back has also straightened. Looking at the rejuvenated Father Li, Li Xiaonuan felt that his previous recklessness and ignorance were not so ridiculous.

In the afternoon, the whole family is taking a nap. Knowing the tireless hissing on the branches, it makes Xinzhou Village under the blazing sun seem more peaceful. A green cloth carriage drove into Xinzhou Village and headed in the direction of Zhao's house. (To be continued.) )
