After Liu finished speaking, he handed the silver in his hand to Du Yi, after all, this was what she earned. Du Yi smiled and shook his head: "Mother, this silver, first for the family." In the future, if I earn again, I can save it myself. By the way, second brother, how about the things I asked you to check? ”

For this little money, Du Yi didn't look at it. But she also understands that no matter what she does, everything must have a principal. Now that this family is destitute, and they are counting on this bit of silver to live, how can she ask for it? If she really wanted, she would think of something to make it.

"I looked at the trees in our village, and many of them have borne fruit, so I don't think there will be too little. But when the time comes, if you want to buy those fruits, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Du Yi thought about it, and no one knew that mangosteen was edible. If she gets it and sells it, the people in the village will say that she makes black money. She's just here, so it's better to make less trouble. But if that's the case, then her plan will be in vain, which is absolutely unacceptable.

For the sake of the present day, the only way to do this is to earn the silver first, and then buy the tree with the silver, and when the black and white words come down, pick the fruit and sell it, and transplant it together in the spring of the next year and plant it in the same place, then everything will be solved.

But at present, this method feels that it will not work, and we have to think about it, there will always be a solution.

"Daddy, child, I'm thinking about Miss, no, Yiyi said that we will stay and eat this food by ourselves this year. Then you have to pay taxes, the silver is not enough, I still have a few dozen yuan, I will give it to you first. You can send it to the village chief in a moment. ”

Li Niang thought that she could do something earlier, and she would do it, and she would be panicked when she put it in her heart.

Everyone looked at Doy, but when they saw her nodding, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although Doe said that the silver came to pay taxes again, it was all used to pay, and there was really nothing left at home.

But then I think about it, there is food this year, and the family can eat enough, and I am very happy in my heart. These days are getting more and more hopeful.

The east gradually brightened, and Doy came to his senses at the cheerful call of the birds. The moment I opened the door, the fresh air poured into the room, and it was refreshing to drill into my nose. Doe stretched and stepped out the door.

At this time, she was extremely glad that there was not much at home, but there was still more firewood and water. I took a hot bath with Peach Blossom yesterday, and now my body is much better.

"Peach Blossom, why did you wake up so early? I'm here to help you! "At this time, Peach Blossom is making breakfast, and no one else is there at home except for Xiaohuzi.

Peach Blossom turned her head and glanced at Du Yi, with a bright smile on her face: "Yi Yi is awake?" No, the meal is almost ready, you can rest for a while. After a while, my mother will come back, if you are hungry, eat first. We waited for my mother to come back, and after bringing breakfast to my father, we went out to dig wild vegetables. "This digging wild vegetables is a code word between the two.

Du Yi nodded, there is no need to worry at this time, you can really dig wild vegetables, the dew in the mountains is still very heavy, in fact, the afternoon is the best. But she wondered if she could dig up some herbs or their fruits, such as honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, sand kernels, and perilla.

There should be quite a few places like this that are surrounded by mountains on three sides. And it's still quite warm, and I don't know exactly where it is. In those medicine halls, there should be herbs, she can get some silver in the early stage and get through this stage.

Soon, Liu returned. But I saw that she was sweating profusely, and her hair was sticking to her forehead. But deep in the eyes, full of joy, it seems that this year's harvest is good.

"Mother, I've already eaten it with Yiyi and Xiaohuzi. You eat first, and we'll bring food to Dad. Seeing my mother come back, Peach Blossom was overjoyed.

Just now Doe told her that she might have to dig up some herbs, and when the time comes to look at the town, she will sell some silver, and now I see that she is a little impatient.

"Mother, if Peach Blossom and I haven't come back after noon today, don't worry. We'll take care of it, and if you have someone to buy that fine salt, you can let it come in the evening. ”

"Okay, you two be careful on the road." Because he hadn't been able to make any money yet, it was inconvenient for Du Yi to say anything about selling herbs for money.

For the hand that was revealed last night, this Liu is still very puzzled. After all, the original owner, Miss Qianjin, has never cooked, and she can cook all of a sudden, which will inevitably make Liu's nurse suspicious.

But fortunately, the original owner was literate, and she shirked it in a book, which made Liu dispel his doubts. And the matter of literacy has now been changed to teaching in the morning.

"Oh, mother, we know!" Peach Blossom was originally in very bad health, and Du Yi, who was once pale last night, thought she was going to have a heart attack, but fortunately, fortunately, her emotional control was relatively good.

The sisters held hands and carried a basket with an urn and a woodcutter. In his hand, he carried a fish basket and a basket of food to his own field.

In the paddy fields, you can see the shadow of people busy everywhere, and every family, regardless of gender, old and young, is busy doing what is going on for the harvest of the year.

After a while, the two came to the edge of their house and found that a large piece had been cut.

"Dad, second brother, second sister-in-law, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." As soon as Du Yi put down the basket in his hand, Peach Blossom called away.

The sound of peach blossoms made the iron bull not far away raise their heads and look in their direction. And Chun Xing wanted to be lazy, so she followed and looked over. When I looked back, I couldn't help but say: "What's so good-looking, it's not just a sick seedling." Even if you like it, your mother won't agree. ”

Tie Niu's thoughts on peach blossoms, how could the people of their family not know? When Taurus heard his mother-in-law's words, his face suddenly darkened: "Give me a neat action, do you want to talk more about the third brother?" No matter how much you talk, you are lazy and don't do anything, see if I beat you, eventful mother-in-law! ”

Chun Xing was scolded by her own man, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say a word. looked in the direction of the peach blossom and snorted coldly.

A fox spirit, a sick seedling, how can everyone think it is good, is it possible that all the women in Liujia Village are dead?

"Sister-in-law, you eat slowly, I'm going to get busy with Yiyi. Second brother, if you go back at night and we haven't arrived home yet, you can follow what Yiyi said yesterday and find us there! ”

Erlang was already dizzy with hunger, and at this time, his mouth was full, and even his voice was released, so he could only nod.

In addition to these three acres of paddy fields, there are also five acres of dry land. After the rice is harvested, it has to be headed, and after it is beaten, it has to be dried, and after it is dried, it has to be lifted up and so on. On the dry land, there are still a lot of red roots, potatoes, and soybeans to be harvested.

In fact, Doy has been surprised by the climate here more than once, and it stands to reason that the weather should be cold sooner or later this season, but not here.

There are also many crops that should not appear in this season, and they also happen to mature at this time. This made her more and more confused, but she was also very happy, after all, it was very beneficial to her.

The two walked all the way, and when they saw the people in the fields, there was no difference between eating and fighting. But all the faces are filled with a deep joy, in the field, in the field, the sound of urging, the sound of abuse, endlessly, a lively harvest scene.

If it's usual, I won't have anything to eat this morning. Normally, it is two meals a day, and it is still a clear soup with little water, and there is very little taste of oil and salt.

But today is different, this is the busy season of farming, and the coming year will depend on a few days. In addition to the Chinese New Year, it is the most abundant now.

Smelling the aroma of various meals along the way, Du Yi and Peach Blossom held hands and walked towards the familiar path.

"This peach blossom has looked much better than before since her mother came back." I don't know who suddenly sighed like that.

The man who heard the words glanced up at the distant figure and nodded approvingly.

Although it is autumn, the mountains are still lush because of the warm weather. Doy took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and listened to the sounds in his ears, feeling very happy. At this moment, she is bathed in the early morning mountain forest, relaxed, and forgets everything. No more worries, no more bad things.

"Yiyi, what are you doing here?" Peach Blossom walked for a long time and found that no one had followed. When he turned around, he saw Doe with his eyes closed, his hands outstretched, and he didn't know what he was thinking, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Doe opened his beautiful eyes, and a smile flashed.

"It's nothing, let's go, our days will get better and better in the future. Our peach blossoms will also have a wishful husband. ”

The peach blossom who originally had doubts in her eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, stomped her feet, and glanced at Du Yi with disgust: "You are a girl, and your age is not as old as mine." It's a shame to say this kind of thing on your lips every day. ”

The two sisters laughed and laughed and went to the brook and put the fish basket in the same way as yesterday. Only this time, in the small fish basket of peach blossoms, some aquatic plants were also put in.

"Peach Blossom, I see that the dew is still relatively heavy, let's dig some wild vegetables and go back in a while." If you see herbs, dig some first, and wait until it's almost noon. Not at this time, I'm afraid. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." When she got here, Peach Blossom didn't understand anything, so she looked at Du Yi as the leader. In her opinion, the young lady is almost omnipotent.

The two of them stopped and stopped all the way, and they were in a very happy mood. On the way here, the two discussed that they would separate the wild vegetables and herbs, and pack one in a basket to save confusion.

Doe knew that dandelion was also a medicinal herb, but it wasn't so good this autumn. She figured that the town's medicine hall might not accept it, so she thought about the honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, sand kernels, and perilla that corresponded to the season.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and seeing that Shiso and Sharen hadn't been found yet, Du Yi had no choice but to give up first. The wild vegetables were almost dug up, and seeing the leaves slowly dry, the two of them walked in the direction of the wood salt tree.

When passing by the small pit dug yesterday, Peach Blossom went out of his way to take a look. Unfortunately, there weren't any animals, which made her a little disappointed.

"Let's go, good luck like yesterday doesn't come every day. If you have both ends in three days, then what's the point? When we're done with this busy time, let's take a look at the mountain, maybe there are many things we didn't expect. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of fruit ripe this season, but unfortunately there is not even half a shadow here. The second brother chops wood every day, and he should be familiar with the three mountains on our side, so I will go back and ask the second brother and let him take us there. ”

Du Yi didn't know if he was tired in the past few days, and he didn't go far today, and his waist felt a little sore. I thought to myself, if it is really the life of the eldest lady, I can't bear the slightest hardship.

Although it was the harvest season and every household was busy, it did not hinder the gossip mentality of those women in Liujia Village.

When I rested and ate at noon, some people started talking.

"It is said that the Liu family of Liu Dazhu's family has no money, and that the girl of that family is a medicine jar, I don't think it is necessarily. Just last time, the Liu family said that there was no silver, cut, not afraid that we would ask her to borrow silver. ”

"Yes, just yesterday, I made at least a little bit of money in one night. Tell me, who makes money with her? ”

"Don't say that, I don't think it's true. I could see inside and out of the room, there was really nothing. Let's just say that the wild boar is not domestic, it was lucky to be caught. As for those fine salts, you all know that this is still Sister-in-law Liu's people, or we are cheap. Otherwise, you can go to the town to buy that coarse salt yourself, not to mention the price, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive. I said, don't you can't eat grapes, and say that grapes are sour. ”

"That's what I thought, when my sister-in-law first came back, I saw it, and I didn't bring anything with me. There are no meaty dishes at home these days. If there really is, as soon as she does it at home, our yard will definitely be able to smell it. ”

The women gathered together and talked about Liu Dazhu's family while eating. Liu Shi held it and led Xiaohuzi over to deliver food, and someone shouted to her from a distance to say hello, and she only nodded and smiled slightly.

The woman who was gossiping here saw it and began to say again: "Although it is a slave, it is said that the master has kindly returned the deed of sale. But it feels good to look at, look at the thin skin and tender meat, just that fair face, even I envy it. ”

A daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, who was in her early twenties and was holding a rice bowl in her hand, stared at Liu's face with envy.

"yes, I'm more than ten years younger than her. Hey, no one is good at life, I can't complain about God! ”

"Let's eat, what should I do when I finish eating. What's the use of envy, the lord's family has returned the deed of sale, but they still have to go to the yamen to change their lives? Just going to the yamen to do things costs a lot of silver. How can there be silver for the peach blossoms to take medicine for three days? As long as it is not good, then in the yamen, it is a lowly and a slave, what is there to envy? ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts. What's the use of being beautiful and fair-skinned. It looks like a good fate, but in fact, it is inferior to them.

Thinking like this, the envy and jealousy in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared, and when they looked at Liu, they all used a squinting look.

However, when I saw Liu, I naturally thought of Peach Blossom, and then looked at my own children, and felt more and more that I didn't know how much better than Liu.

At this time, their own children can still help the family. Look at that Liu Taohua, and the newly recognized goddaughter, they didn't do anything, they went out to play hand in hand, and they haven't seen anyone until now.

Where would Liu think of what those people with broken mouths would say, and what kind of mentality they had. At this moment, as soon as he walked to his field with the basket, a little daughter-in-law came over and asked, "Auntie, do you still have that salt at home?" I didn't have time to go over yesterday, I don't know. I heard someone say it today, and I want to ask if there is anything superfluous, I want two catties. ”
