Chapter 4 Relatives are hard to find, learn farming early
86_86297 In the blink of an eye, it was a new day, on this day, Yun Zirao was preparing to make lunch, walked to the kitchen, opened the rice jar, and found that the rice grain at home had been exhausted.
Before, it was all about cooking freely, Yun Zirao was lying on the bed, eating less, and the medicine did not leave her mouth every day, and she was full of medicine.
Now, the body has healed, and all the affairs of the family have been lost to Yun Zirao.
"Master Hua, there is no rice at home!" Yun Zirao walked to the courtyard, and Hua Xiaoyao sat at the wooden table, with a few herbs on the table, teaching the identification of meat buns.
"Go to my room, there is a small black urn on the lattice shelf against the wall, take five cents in it, and go to Aunt Qin's house to buy two catties of rice!"
Hua Xiaoyao waved her hand, and Yun Zirao lowered her head and entered Hua Xiaoyao's room.
The room was very simple, a black bed, a broken wardrobe, and two gray-black clothes that Yun Zirao had washed for Hua Xiaoyao yesterday, and a table by the window, with stones under the corners of the table to maintain balance.
There is paper and ink on the table, two brushes, which look like they are handmade by Hua Xiaoyao herself, and the barrels of the pens are bent.
Between the table and the wardrobe, there is a three-tiered lattice shelf, a total of twelve grids, most of which are filled with bottles, jars and books, and on the far edge of the second layer is the small black urn that Hua Xiaoyao said.
Yun Zirao carefully carried the small urn to the table, lifted the lid of the black urn, and reached in to get the money, two pieces of broken silver, the size of an adult's thumb, more than a dozen copper plates, engraved with the words Jinsheng Tongbao.
Jinsheng Tongbao?!
The copper plate was similar to the size of a modern one-yuan, Yun Zirao counted five, put the rest back into the black urn, and then put the black urn back in its place, and turned around and walked out of the room where the flowers were free.
"Master Hua, I'll go to Aunt Qin's house to buy rice!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Aunt Qin is also cooking in the kitchen, Aunt Qin's husband Uncle Liu went to the mountains to hunt three years ago, injured his leg, and missed the opportunity for treatment at that time, until today, he must rely on wooden crutches to walk.
The heavy work in the field has also been handed over to Aunt Qin and her two sons, Aunt Qin's eldest son Liu De is sixteen years old this year, Aunt Qin has been looking for his mother-in-law's house, but this Yueshan Village is not only poor, but also very remote, and the nearest village to Yueshan Village is also more than ten miles away.
Although Aunt Qin and Uncle Liu's family have a good reputation and are good people in Yueshan Village, Liu De's family affairs have not been decided.
"Sister Yun is here, are you here to find my mother?" Liu De was chopping wood in the yard, and when he saw Yun Zirao coming towards him, he hurriedly stood up, rubbed his hands, and opened the low courtyard door for Yun Zirao.
A few hens were clucking in a corner of the yard, and one of them, with seven or eight chicks behind her, was fluffy and cute.
"Is Aunt Qin at home? I've run out of rice at home, so I'm going to buy some! ”
"Mother, Sister Yun is here!" Liu De shouted towards the kitchen, Yun Zirao smiled, and stood in the yard, his eyes moving with the group of chickens.
Aunt Qin washed her hands, rolled up the apron around her waist, and hurried out of the kitchen, and the water droplets on her hands were gradually wiped clean by the apron.
"Aunt Qin, I came to buy some rice grain and cook at noon, only to find that there is no rice grain at home!" Yun Zirao said embarrassedly, Aunt Qin smiled and pulled Yun Zirao to sit down at the wooden table under the grape trellis in her yard.
"You wait here, drink some tea, and the eldest lady will go to the kitchen to put out the fire in the stove, and I'll come to fill you with rice!"
"Okay, thank you, auntie!"
"Mother, brother, I'm back, look, I took out two nests of bird eggs on the mountain!" Aunt Qin's youngest son is named Liu Cai, a little slippery head, very naughty, nine years old this year.
"You kid, if you don't stay at home all day long, you know that if you run outside, there are so many poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains, and you are not allowed to go up the mountain in the future!" Aunt Qin came out of the kitchen and blamed Liu Cai.
Liu Cai laughed, took out all the dozen bird eggs in his arms, and put them in Aunt Qin's hands.
"Mother, my son knows it in his heart, and he didn't go deeper!"
"Okay, mother said you, you just listen, don't quibble, hurry up and wash your hands, and feed the chickens in a while!" Liu De walked up to Liu Cai and said with a straight face.
Liu Cai is not afraid of Uncle Liu, not afraid of Aunt Qin, but afraid of his eldest brother, when he heard Liu De say about himself, he immediately obediently lowered his head and walked to the well to fetch water and wash his hands.
"Yun girl, come, my aunt will fill you with rice." Aunt Qin put the eggs in the tea bowl on the table, turned around and walked towards the main house.
Yun Zirao stood up and followed Aunt Qin to the door of the main house, "Auntie, I won't go in, please just load it up for me and take it out!" ”
Aunt Qin smiled, turned around and entered the house.
In ancient times, the main house of ordinary people was not allowed to outsiders to enter casually, Yun Zirao has been taboo or something these days, and asked Hua Xiaoyao to understand.
"Sister Yun, why haven't you come out to play these days? Last time, I told him that I was going to take him to fly a kite! You see, I've got all my kites tied! ”
After Liu Cai finished feeding the chickens, he took a simple kite out of nowhere and walked it to Yun Zirao, except for a few main skeletons, the kite was covered with some rags sewn together.
"Meat Bun has been learning medical literacy with Master Hua for the past few days, if you want to find Meat Bun to play, just go directly to my house to find him." Yun Zirao looked at these four different kites and sighed at the simplicity and beauty of the children's world.
"That's ・・・・・・"
"Yun girl, don't worry about this bastard boy, seeing that the spring planting has arrived, the seedlings in the field have grown taller, and the seedlings will be planted in a few days!"
Aunt Qin came out with a cloth bag and handed it to Yun Zirao.
"Auntie, Liu Cai and Meat Bun are still children, and it is inevitable that they love to play!"
"Hey! This can't be done, this bastard boy is almost ten years old, if you don't learn to work hard, in the future, the aunt and your uncle will not be able to support him, our family has only a few pieces of land, not too fat, this Dezi's family affairs have not yet been settled, the aunt is worried in her heart! ”
"Come, this is three catties of rice, you take it home to eat first, the rice of the eldest mother's family is not much, the ox cart in the county seat of this village, these days have been rested, the cattle have been pulled to the field to work, after a few days, when there is an ox cart on the county seat, it is better for you to go to the county seat with the eldest mother, buy a few dozen catties of rice grain, so that you can eat for a while, save ・・・・・・"
Yun Zirao thought about it, she didn't know the price of prices in ancient times, so she let herself buy two catties of rice with five yuan, according to this calculation, if she bought ten catties and twenty catties, wouldn't it cost dozens of yuan, but in that black urn・・・・・・
"Aunt Qin, I'll bring five cents, you still ・・・・・・"
"Five cents is enough, the old man has been buying rice at the eldest mother's house before, although the harvest in Yueshan Village has not been good in recent years, but the county is still at this price! Take the rice back to cook, don't starve the meat buns! By the way, come, bring these eggs back and play with the meat buns! ”
Liu De was chopping wood on the side and didn't speak, Liu Cai stood on the side, and saw Aunt Qin stuffing more than a dozen bird eggs in the bowl into Yun Zirao's bag of rice, and her face was a little unhappy
