Zhuang Yonghe agreed even more cheerfully, only saying that he would be able to send the first batch of thirty duck eggs in the evening.

After the matter was negotiated, Zhuang Qingning was going home to prepare lunch.

He wanted to stay for lunch, but the noodles made from his own sweet potato noodles at noon today were only dried sesame leaves from the past, and some of them couldn't be used, so they had to give up.

Before leaving, he stuffed a handful of garlic sprouts into Zhuang Qingning's hand.

I bought pork belly at noon today, Zhuang Qingning was planning to make back to the pot meat, and now there are garlic sprouts just to make a side dish, so I took it down, went back and put the pork belly in the pot and boiled it, and then took it out and sliced it and fried the back pot meat.

Hot dough cakes, garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, stir-fried shredded potatoes, plus green vegetable soup.

In the evening, when the sisters got up, Zhuang Qingning went to make dinner, and Zhuang Qingsui was busy taking advantage of the sunset to water the vegetable patch in the yard.

All kinds of vegetables are thriving, and at this time the growth stage of the vegetable task has been completed, cucumbers, winter melons, pumpkins and other vine vegetables have drawn out thick rattans, and are trying to climb up along the bamboo poles or fences that the two of them have planted.

And those garlic sprouts and leeks, tomatoes, green peppers and so on in the courtyard also grow a top good, the fat leaves are green and oily, and under the afterglow of the sunset, they look oily and slippery.

"This dish grows so well." Zhuang Qingsui said with emotion while pouring water.

After this period of time, Zhuang Qingning has been talking about how fertile the land in this yard is, and the sun is sunny, Zhuang Qingsui also feels more and more that it is because the soil in the yard is fertile enough, so the vegetables can grow so well, and he does not doubt anything else.

Zhuang Qingning saw that Zhuang Qingsui had no doubts about this vegetable, and his heart was much more steady, he smiled and said, "This is thanks to your diligent daily snapshots." ”

"By the way, cut a handful of leeks and fry a leek egg to eat."

"Okay." Zhuang Qingsui responded happily.

The leeks in the yard were moved from He's field, and the leeks were dug up, and the leeks gave birth to tender green buds in a few days.

When the sisters finished cooking, Zhuang Yonghe came to the door.

Came to deliver the beans and duck eggs.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle He." Zhuang Qingning hurriedly put things next.

"Isn't that how it should be?" Zhuang Yonghe wiped a handful of sweat beads from his forehead because he was in a hurry to walk.

It is indeed as it should be, Zhuang Qingning called him uncle, then she is his niece, and Zhuang Qingning has never let him do it in vain, so it is reasonable for Zhuang Yonghe to feel that he should have more.

"This bean is sinking, I'll help you put it directly in the tofu workshop, so you don't have to move it back and forth." Zhuang Yonghe put down the duck eggs, put the beans on his back and went to the tofu factory, even ignoring Zhuang Qingning's words to leave him for dinner.

Since the duck eggs had been delivered, Zhuang Qingning did not hesitate, and after eating quickly, he pickled the duck eggs and sealed them in the jar.

When the time was almost up, he and Zhuang Qingsui went to the tofu factory to grind tofu.

The tofu business is booming.

Because the customers are gradually fixed, plus all kinds of restaurants and restaurants in the town, steamed bun shops, leek box stalls, and even chefs who make red and white banquets for people, all seek Zhuang Qingning to buy tofu, and Zhuang Yonghe's business here is also very good, many people have gradually begun to come to buy tofu.

It was cloudy and rainy, and it seemed that it could not affect Zhuang Qingning's business much.

Zhuang Qingning gradually increased the amount of tofu he made, including the amount of tofu given to Zhuang Yonghe, which also changed from the previous forty catties to sixty catties.

Zhuang Yonghe and He Shi Therefore, the corners of their mouths grinned to the root of their ears.

Sixty catties of tofu a day, they can almost earn about ten yuan, plus Zhuang Mingming's salary, Zhuang Yonghe's busy collecting beans and duck eggs, this month is more than half a tael of silver, this year is six or seven taels of silver.

The family eats, drinks and chews all year round, plus the soup and medicine expenses of the first four children in the family, which is nothing more than three or four taels of silver a year, so in this way, the family will not only be able to live more comfortably in the future, but also save some money.

If this goes on like this for a long time, you will be able to save all the money for the children to build a house in the future.

Zhuang Yonghe and Ho felt that they saw hope in life.

Even during this time, the food at home was better than before.

In the past, the table was full of seasonal vegetables from the field, plus pickles, and the staple food was sweet potato noodles and stick noodles as much as possible, but recently, I can eat a few times from time to time with pure stick noodles, and occasionally I can scrambled eggs for my family.

Especially today, when the family fried leek eggs, Zhuang Minghao couldn't help but sigh: "My mother still feels sorry for us, and she knows that we have been busy recently, so make up for us." ”

"During this time, your eldest brother is going to work in the tofu factory, and your father has to get up in the morning to sell tofu, and at the same time he has to help collect beans and duck eggs. Ho smiled.

"Isn't that how it should be?" Being praised like this, Zhuang Minghao scratched his ears a little embarrassed: "We are already big children." ”

"yes." The remaining two small ones also echoed the voice.

His own child is intimate and sensible, and He smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Zhuang Yonghe cleared his throat and said: "Our family has been living a tight life, my father and mother knew that you were working hard, but I was also powerless, and I wanted you to eat some good ones, but now I can eat these, it is said that because Mingliang can go to work in the tofu factory, I can do some tofu selling for a living." ”

"Speaking of which, our family is a little better, thanks to Ning Yatou, you will be more diligent in the future and help Ning Yatou do more things."

"Don't worry, Dad, we know." Zhuang Mingliang agreed very simply.

During this time, in addition to grinding tofu in the tofu workshop every day, in his spare time, he took the initiative to help Zhuang Qingning fill the water tank at home, so as not to cause Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui to do this kind of hard work again.

"And ......"

Zhuang Yonghe paused, and his tone became deeper and deeper: "You also have to remember one thing, the reason why Ning Yatou takes special care of our family and trusts us is probably because when their family first established a female household, your mother went to send some stick noodles, and Ning Yatou has been thinking about us." ”

"So in the future, you have to keep in mind one thing, that is, to be kind to others, if you are rich, the people you should help, try to help, do more good deeds, do more good deeds, there will be benefits after all."
