Rice, buds, and wheat can be made into popcorn, but there is nothing on the parsley side except rice. Hong Cheng begged for some buds and wheat from others.

Parsley's original plan was to get a pot of popcorn, but these things couldn't be put away, so they kept opening up to expose them to the air, and it is estimated that in less than half a day, the popcorn will be damp. The popcorn may still taste sweet, but it will lose its original crispy texture.

Hong Cheng's stove shaking popcorn couldn't stop at all, and in the end he was stunned to pop a bag full of popcorn for Parsley.

He gave the popcorn boss the old man a free odd job for half a day, and when the old man collected the rent and was about to leave, he didn't want to let go, so he reluctantly asked the old man, "Uncle, will you come over tomorrow?" ”

"I'm really going to Huangzhuang tomorrow." The old man has been delayed for a day, he doesn't go wherever he wants to set up a stall, he runs village by village according to the plan.

"Then when you come back, you'll still be in my place." After sending the old man away, Hong Cheng was discouraged and went to the wooden house with a grin.

Parsley had prepared water for him to wash his face, as well as a towel. "Look at your dirty, like crawling out of a coal pit."

"Really?" Hong Cheng didn't believe it, so he ran to look in the mirror, but when he saw what he looked in the mirror, he was also startled.

Hong Cheng hurriedly washed his face, and Xiangqin took a broom to clean up the mess outside the door.

In front of the wooden house, there was a mess, and the ground was littered with hard particles of popcorn.

Some of the buds are not roasted in the stove, the grains are not exploded, and people with bad teeth can't chew them at all. A lot of people picked and picked up the brown buds, and threw them all on the ground, and no one cleaned them up, leaving them all for the parsley.

The parsley was swept into a pile, and about two or three kilograms of those charred buds could be touched to the ground, which would be a pity if they were thrown away.

She found a plastic bag and put the buds into the plastic bag one by one.

Hong Cheng came out with the black face wash, and with a lift of his hands, he almost splashed a basin of face wash on parsley.

He hurriedly steadied his hand, walked forward with the basin for a while, and poured the water on the side of the road.

When he came back, Hong Cheng said to Xiangqin: "Those are not expensive things, what are you doing with them?"

Parsley bent down and hooked her head, picking up the scattered buds on the ground, "It's a pity to think about throwing it away, and give it to Erjuan and their family to feed the chickens." ”

"Erjuan? Dajuan's sister, right? "Hong Cheng Xiangqin, the big juan who works in his hotel.

"Erjuan made you five pairs of small shoes last time."

"Oh, I remember!"

Parsley was picking up the buds on the ground, and looked up at Hong Cheng, "You give me some popcorn to come out, I'll pick this up after a while, and I'll bring it to Erjuan's house together." ”

Hong Cheng felt uncomfortable, and his face was even more aggrieved, when did Parsley treat him so well? "What are you doing so well with people, I haven't seen anyone come to see you."

Xiangqin looked up at him with disgust, "Erjuan doesn't have time to come out to play." ”

Erjuan has no spare time, all the idle time is used by her to make shoes. She made one more pair and put it out, and she could get the money to sell one more pair of shoes at the market.

Parsley took her things to Erjuan's house.

Dajuan put aside to work outside, Erjuan also has her own craft, and the sisters subsidize a lot of food for the family, although life is not easy, but it is not as poor as before.

Dajuan also works in the hotel, and she doesn't stay at home for food and accommodation. She worked six days a week and would return home on the day off.

Erjuan's parents are very enthusiastic about Parsley, and the couple will return from the wheat field.

"Parsley, get inside and sit down!" Erjuan and her mother beckoned parsley into the hall.

Erjuan's father said, "Erjuan, take out the raisins that your sister brought from the city last week and give parsley to eat!"

Parsley put two bags of things on the table, "This is the popcorn I got for you, and the bud grains I picked up on the ground, the popcorn for you to eat, and the bud grains for you to feed the chickens." ”

Erjuan put down the work in her hand, pulled out the thimble on her fingers, and was not polite to parsley, opened the mouth of the bag containing the bud grains, grabbed a handful of bud grains, and sprinkled them in the yard.

Three hens that were already laying eggs and a big rooster with a red and green tail gathered together, cooing and pecking at the buds on the ground, and eating happily.

Parsley smelled a smell of pesticides, and wondered in his heart, "Why is it so big a medicinal smell?" ”

Erjuan and her mother were washing their hands, holding the soap in one hand, and pointing to the medicine bucket erected in front of the wall with the other, "Your uncle and I just came back from the field, the weather is warm, and there are a lot of insects in the field." And it's going to be the rainy season soon, so you can't do it without spraying the wheat. If you don't spray the medicine, the wheat can pour a large piece of wheat in a heavy rain! ”

Parsley nodded, knowing that if you want to have a good harvest, spring is the most critical period. At this time, it is very important to take care of the wheat, spray pesticides to repel insects, and resist lodging, which is a necessary work.

I heard the old people say that there was a famine in the past, and there was no condition to pay attention to these at that time. Every summer, when the wheat is not yet harvested, natural and man-made disasters come one after another, especially locusts that plague the crops, and not a single grain of wheat is full.

In the past few years, the government has gradually paid attention to these problems, and every time such a time, some pesticides will be distributed to the production brigade in each village, and special technicians will be sent to teach them how to use these pesticides. Then the production brigade will distribute pesticides to people in each household from house to house.

However, since the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, people in rural areas have gradually become independent of the government's assistance, and they will go to the market to buy pesticides whenever they need them at such times.

"Parsley, I'll show you something good!" Erjuan pulled Xiangqin to the room where she slept with Dajuan, looking mysterious.

Hearing Erjuan's father's laughter, Parsley glanced back at them in a daze, and let Erjuan drag her arm.

There was a brand-new sewing machine in Erjuan's house, and Parsley couldn't help but light up, which was a very expensive thing.

In the seventies, the three major things I got married, apart from watches and bicycles, were sewing machines. In the 80s, the three major items of marriage have changed greatly, which are completely different from before, but now many families are married, and the man's family can't take out a sewing machine as a dowry.

This sewing machine is of great use to Erjuan, because Erjuan sews something at home every day.

"This thing will save you a lot of trouble!" Parsley laughed.

Erjuan was proud, "That's really! She added, "I wanted to buy a second-hand one, but as soon as my sister got her salary, she bought me a new one from the city." ”

Parsley sat down in front of the sewing machine, and saw that there was no thread in the needle hole in front of the sewing machine, so she stepped on the pedal under the sewing machine with both feet, and shook the pedal back and forth. As soon as the pedal moves, the whole sewing machine is in operation, and the sound is pleasant.

Looking at the fine needles that came in and out, Parsley Yan Zhan Zhòng wondered if this and this could be worn into the thick uppers, "Can this sewing machine make shoes?" ”

"You can't make shoes." Erjuan's answer confirmed Xiangqin's conjecture, "It's okay to make insoles and flower the uppers, so I don't need to sew them by hand." You can also make clothes! ”

Parsley was a little surprised, "You still want to make clothes?" Can you take care of it? ”

Erjuan has to take care of making shoes and clothes, and when she is in a hurry, she can't do it at both ends. You can't make a big fat man by eating it in one bite!

In fact, Erjuan also knows these situations, "Now I mainly make shoes, and when shoes can't be sold, I am starting to find fabrics to make clothes." ”

Erjuan is in a hurry to make money, probably because she wants to save a dowry for her sister.

You will never be afraid to make too much money, but a person's health is still the most important thing. The biggest capital of the body, without a good body, not only has to spend money on treatment, but also does not do good business.

Erjuan threads the needle and thread every day, sewing and mending in the dim light at night, and facing the candle flame when the power goes out. For a long time, her eyes will not be bad!

Xiangqin's eyes were a little red when she saw Erjuan now, "You have to pay attention to your body, labor is labor, and you must take proper rest." You see your eyes are red, like rabbits. ”

Erjuan didn't care, "I'm fine, what's your business doing over there?" ”

"That's it, do as much as you want, sell as much as you want." Parsley is not greedy, she can earn enough for her to eat alone. After Hong Cheng came over, she spent all her money, and Parsley treated herself as a little white face. The two of them live together, and life is not difficult at all.

Erjuan is very envious of parsley, now parsley is a double harvest of career and love, and many girls in these ten miles and towns can be jealous of her.

Having made a rich object and started a small business of his own, Parsley has now become a role model for many parents to educate their children.

Erjuan looked yearning, if she had the ability to think of that, coupled with her conditions, and having such an early stall, she would not leave her home, and let her be willing to take care of that stall all day long!

"Your stall can only be set up in the morning, right, you can also set it up in the afternoon, you don't need to make breakfast, you can make anything else, such as stir-fried soup and rice."

In this way, Liu Ling also said to Parsley.

Xiangqin smiled, "I'm now feeding my whole family by myself and not being hungry, why do I make myself so tired?" ”

"Look at Yongzi, sell breakfast in the morning and hot tofu in the afternoon, you can make more money if you are tired!" Erjuan said.

The smile on Xiangqin's face was even bigger, "He's seventeen or eighteen, he should marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, he still has to build a new house, if he doesn't get tired and doesn't make more money, where will the money come from to build a house, and which girl will still take a fancy to him?"
