On this day, the sky was getting cloudy again, and a few drops of rain were falling.

Chunyu sat under the eaves and looked at the hazy scenery in the distance, and was about to be lyrical, when an annoying figure appeared outside the fence.

"Spring rain, what are you doing at home alone?" It was her third aunt Osmanthus, who was talking in her mouth, and her body had already walked into her yard, and her eyes were still rolling.

"......" Chunyu didn't reply to her, knowing what she was doing. Isn't it just that Li Caidie's sisters came to have a good meal, and in the past few days, her family has found someone to repair the leaky roof, repair the door that was kicked out, and by the way, the whole family took something and went to her mother Yang Yuemei's mother's house together. Osmanthus wants to come to see spring

Did the Yu family make money by something?

"Oh, hey, my eldest niece and daughter, they are all relatives, why do you still hold grudges. Besides, I didn't mean to do that to your third aunt, it was also for your own good.

If you don't care about it, why do you blame the third aunt. Osmanthus pretended to be sad and said, and secretly spit a little spit on her hand and touched the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, don't mention it, third aunt, you have something to do when you come to my house." Seeing that she said this, Chunyu didn't want to make a face to her anymore. Otherwise, she will fall into the hands of others, and people will say that she does not respect her elders.

"Hehe, it's nothing, just come and see. Although this is divided, it is still a family, and if you don't come and go around for a long time, you won't be divided. Osmanthus saw that Chunyu called her the third aunt again, so she said with a smile. I also pretended to glance around casually, but I didn't find anything valuable, and I wanted to take a look inside the house but was blocked by the spring rain.

"I'm afraid that the third aunt should go to the old courtyard more, my family eats there at noon, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to see it." Chunyu quietly took a step back and closed half of the door.

"Your mother isn't there? I'm looking for her. Osmanthus said again, I don't want to give up and go into the house to have a look.

"Mother has gone to the old courtyard, you can go there to find it." Chunyu said.

"Okay then......" Osmanthus had to touch her nose and leave.

"Chun Tao, you watch at home, don't let people in, when Chunyan and Xiao Baozi wake up, you go to the stove and get the steamed nest head for them to eat. My dad and I went to town. When Chunyu saw that the osmanthus was gone, he said to Chun Tao, who was sitting in the room with needlework and embroidery.

"Okay." Chun Tao was sensible and didn't say that she wanted to follow.

The day before yesterday, she saw that the quilts and sheets at home were all bad, and the clothes of the family were also very old. I made an appointment with her father to go to the town today, and this time with her father, I am not afraid that I will not be able to take more things.

She went to the old yard to find her father, and her father was talking to her grandmother about going to the town to ask her and her sister what was wrong. Her grandmother, Li Liu, said no, and only told them to be careful on the road with umbrellas.

Chunyu and her father went to the town, and after buying a few coarse cloths for bed sheets and quilts and cotton and linen for clothes, they went to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and bought a pound of wine for her father to quench his cravings.

In the end, they went to Dr. Liu and asked about her mother, Yang Yuemei's condition, and said that it might be a precursor to tuberculosis. Chunyu only knows that tuberculosis is tuberculosis, which is a very serious lung disease, and some can be contagious. When she went to school, the mother of a classmate in the class had this disease, and it took a few years to get better.

She often heard from her classmates that her mother coughed again today and coughed hemoptysis, couldn't breathe and almost fainted, etc., which made Chunyu's heart furious. However, her mother only coughs a lot, and her body is thin and weak, not so strict. Maybe her mother is not so strict, ancient medical treatment was not developed, Chinese medicine

only pays attention to looking, hearing and asking, and this Dr. Liu is not a good doctor, and he also said that it may be a precursor to tuberculosis.

Chunyu remembered a few home remedies that could relieve cough, and went back to try it for her mother. Anyway, it's a medicinal diet, and people can eat it even if they are not sick. Usually, you can drink more pear and red date porridge, cough and beauty, radish is also very good, phlegm and cold, and loquat...... These are only available in Sydney until ** month, its

His. The turnips are planted in the fields, and the loquat trees are bearing fruit on the mountain.

Chunyu thought about the delicacy of the pig in the water again, so he went to the pork shop last time, and bought the only pair of pig in the stall and a few pork bones.

"Little girl, this pig stinks in the water, and the bones have no meat. Why do you keep buying this? The owner of the pork shop recognized that it was the little girl from last time and asked.

"......" Chunyu smiled but didn't answer, paid the money, and took the wrapped pig into the water and pork bones to find Li Dajun who was waiting on the side of the road.

"Girl, this thing is good, it doesn't cost much and you make it delicious." Li Dajun remembered the taste of that dinner, and only felt that his daughter was capable, and such a stinky pig could be made so delicious.

“…… Dad, you said you used to go to the town's docks every year to look for work? Chunyu heard her father's words, but her heart was moved and she hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there is little water in the north, and it is rare for us to have a big river here. Our county magistrate did a good thing as soon as he took office, reported to the imperial court to allocate money, and led people to open up this Cao Yun connected to the capital, so our county is so prosperous. Don't look at our small town, but it is a wharf that must pass through this Cao Yun, and the place that requires manpower is so lively. When Li Dajun talked about this, he talked endlessly.

"What do the dock workers eat?" Chunyu asked again.

"What else, most of them brought their nests at home to nibble, and some of them took advantage of the noon break to eat bowls of noodles on the street or buy hot steamed buns." Li Dajun said.

"Dad, what do you think of the pig I made to eat in the water?" When Chunyu heard this, he felt that his idea could come true.

"Of course it's delicious! Girl, do you want to ......"

"Yes......"

When the two returned home, Yang Yuemei was happy when she saw the things that the father and daughter bought, and then when she asked, it cost about two taels. I can't help but feel sorry for the money, but this is really something that needs to be used at home, so I can only breathe a sigh of helplessness. In the past few days, the family has repaired the house and bought things, and she went back to her mother's house to buy some gifts to pay off the eldest brother's money. She also discussed with Li Dajun that she needed to give her father and mother one or two as filial piety, which means that the family only has two taels......

Chunyu also looked at the money that he thought was quite a lot, but in a blink of an eye, there was not much left. So she asked her father and mother to sit down and carefully explained her plans to start some small business. In the previous life, the landlady of Chunyu was a native of Henan, and she made very good home-cooked Yu dishes, especially a dish of vermicelli steamed pork and a dish

The big stew made Chunyu like it very much. These two dishes may not be very grand on the table, but they feel like home, delicious and hungry, and the most important thing is that the ingredients are simple and easy to make.

At the wharf with a large flow of people, a small shed was erected to set up a stove, boil a pot of Tianxiang brine, a pot of stewed vegetables, and anyone who bought a big bowl of vegetables would send two hot nests. Workers who can only nibble on cold wotou and eat expensive noodle soup will certainly be able to accept this......

"This is good, but your father is going to go to the ground, and my mother's body is not angry. You can't let a few of you kids go to the docks to do business. Yang Yuemei was thoughtful.

"Yes, I can get up early and send things to the docks to set up a stall, but who sells them. It's definitely not okay for every adult to be there. Li Dajun also said.

"Mother, you forgot about the two of you." Chunyu smiled and said that it had already considered these.

"Who?" Yang Yuemei was puzzled.

"The eldest aunt and the second aunt. When I went back to my grandmother's house a few days ago, wasn't my second aunt also there, and she and her eldest aunt both said that there was little land at home and they wanted to find some work to help the family? Chunyu said.

"Oops, I didn't think of that." Yang Yuemei said happily that she has always felt guilty that she married someone not only did not help her mother's family but also always dragged her mother's family, now it's okay, her daughter's business will definitely be successful, and she pulled the second sister and sister-in-law over to help not only do this business, but also help her mother's family. This happiness, I didn't listen to her cough for a long time, and Chunyu was also happy to see it, it seems that her mother's illness is purely tired and ruthless......

"Dad, waiting for the business is really profitable, we also called Auntie, I heard that her family is also in a hurry." Chunyu didn't forget this relative of her father's family. Although the business has not yet made a sound, Chunyu believes that she can do a good job.

"Okay, good ......" Li Dajun didn't expect his daughter's mind to be so detailed, and he was moved at the moment.

For dinner, Chunyu made a small portion of stewed vegetables and steamed pork with vermicelli, and asked Li Dajun to send one to the old courtyard first, and without the disturbance of the third uncle's family, the whole family ate happily again.

After eating, Li Dajun used the board car at home to improve the words of the spring rain, and made a shelf with three round mouths that could put a stove with wooden boards, and went to find a small stove for baking fires in winter and put it in, and made a drawer that could put charcoal.

The ingredients are well prepared, and the coarse noodles will be made at night, and they will be steamed out early the next morning and covered with gauze in a basket to cover a small mattress to ensure that it can be heated for two hours. The heavenly fragrant brine and the stewed vegetables were prepared in advance, put them in the draught bucket and carried them to the town with a burden to the hot pot that went to the stove

Slowly boil it, and just scoop it directly when someone comes to eat.

"Dad, doesn't the fourth uncle go to the carpenter's house in the town every day, and ask him to help push the rack car to the dock every day. He definitely doesn't want to pay the fourth uncle, and he just needs to give it to his grandmother regularly when he earns money in the future. Chunyu can also be regarded as knowing her fourth uncle, kind and straightforward, good to his family, let him help and return it to him

He must be unhappy about the money.

"It's still a girl's thoughts." Li Dajun said with a smile.

"That mother will go and talk to my sister-in-law about this tomorrow, and let her and your second aunt go directly to the dock early in the morning." Yang Yuemei said.

"Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and go with my father." Chunyu said excitedly that after this small business can be done well, the family will not be so nervous.

"You're a girl, it's not good to go." Yang Yuemei hesitated.

"Mother, don't say I'm still young, just say that we, the rural people, still pay attention to the rules of big families." Chunyu said with a smile that she was not afraid that her mother would not agree with her going. The folk customs here are quite open, even the ladies of large families can occasionally go out shopping or something, but they don't show up to do business

Nothing more.

"Then you should be careful outside, there are a lot of people there." Yang Yuemei instructed.

"I know ......," Chunyu finished speaking, and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for marinade and vegetarian meatballs and crispy pork for fried stew......
