Lin nodded his head on time, put the bundled chicken in the bamboo basket, and walked away, leaving with a sentence, "Ask my aunt how much it is, I will send it to you tomorrow!" ”

Others are out, but their hearts are like a pot of boiling water, Sister Qiu is slowly growing up, the family is still earning money, and everyone is greedy for the idea of water tofu, she is no longer the "mother worm" that everyone avoided before, and now Sister Qiu's family owes foreign debts, and life is not as good as theirs, but after a few years, the gap is slowly reflected, what should he do to marry Sister Qiu?

Lin Zhun didn't send a few chickens in the basket to Sister Qiu's house directly, but first put them in his own field, and the chickens who were tied to the grass rope pecked in the wheat field that they had raked and fished, and the locusts and grasshoppers flew around in the wheat field, and the wheat grains that were scattered in the soil and could not be picked up, and the chickens who put them in the ground pecked one by one.

The wheat field in the middle of the day was very sunny, almost no one had to cut the wheat up and down, all resting in the shade of the trees, the big seal had already leaned on the spring flower and fell asleep, Aunt Chunhua pointed to the eldest son who was standing under the sun and looking at a few chickens, and whispered: "Look, if the sons are all other people's, send a chicken to feed it and then send it!" ”

Lin did look at his son's careful care of a few chickens, and laughed. Lin Laosuo was smoking a cigarette pouch on the side, and only whispered for a long time: "Don't be happy too early, seeing that the life of the old lady Xiucai's family is getting better and better, no matter how good our family is, it will be like this, and the future will ......" He shook his head.

If the life of Mrs. Xiucai is much better than that of the Jiang family in the future, she is not willing to ask her daughter to marry into a poor family to suffer, besides, what Lin Laosuo did not say in her heart is that Sister Qiu Nan Nizi had been married to the Rong family in the town before, and there is such a rich "ex-husband's family" to compare it with, and I don't know if I will marry into their family in the future, and there will be resentment in my heart.

Aunt Chunhua's face is not very easy to look at, her father-in-law is telling the truth, people have a stall, a day can earn half a tael of silver, Jia's quietly touched her through the letter, and the silver money to repay the debt has already been saved enough, but Sister Qiu doesn't want her to pay it back so quickly, because she is afraid that the people in the village will see that they make a lot of money, and they have crooked eyes.

"Sister Airong is not that ordinary person, Sister Qiu's mind is also good, and it is rare for me to look at her." Aunt Chunhua said, "Let's talk about it again, it's not my boast of being a mother, our family is also one of the best offspring in ten miles and eight villages." "Sister Qiu, no loss!

"When the autumn is harvested, Sister Qiu is almost 11 years old, you can mention it to Mrs. Lao Xiucai at some time, and see what she means." Lin Cheng said, "If there is such a meaning, if not, let's find a daughter-in-law for Dazhun earlier, cut off his thoughts, and don't ruin the friendship between the two families." ”

Even if Jia's disagreed with the marriage of the two children, Lin was a little uncomfortable at most, but he never resented Jia's thoughts, in the end, children are the heart of their parents, and Jia's widow's family is the only daughter of Sister Qiu, even if

She wants to recruit a gentleman's son-in-law, and she is also talking about the past. And they are also reluctant to give their sons to others as sons-in-law, even if the two families are neighbors, they can't.

What's more, they take care of the old Xiucai lady and the mother, and the mother and son are also grateful to the family, and now today's son is better, sending water and tofu to the food every day, and now they are sending food to the boundary every day, so they rush to the hearts of others, and they can't break off the friendship between the two families because of the failure of the marriage.

The Jiang family has their own thoughts on the territory, and Sister Qiu is not idle at home, after the Jia family came back from delivering food, Sister Qiu got up and ate in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and she had a new idea.

Due to the immaturity of the previous technology of water tofu, the water tofu is not delicious in everyone's dark minds, after this period of time, from the best-selling degree of water tofu, most of the people in Jiujiang Town have accepted the water tofu This is not a fresh food, and now it is time to launch some fresh categories.

In fact, she feels that there are a lot of ingredients in the countryside, but there is a lack of the first person to "eat crabs", such as mushrooms, once the rainy day passes, the gutter is all over the ground, but the people in the village can't tell where they can eat and which ones are poisonous, plus the war and famine decades ago, many people are hungry and can't eat the toadstools and die, and now people only dare to pick the most ordinary straw mushrooms, and the other fungi are all ignored.

Sister Qiu has analyzed the reasons, on the one hand, because it is now the peaceful year, eating coarse noodles can fill your stomach, why bother to eat those foods that are allowed to be poisonous, on the other hand, she doesn't know how the rich and noble families in the city eat, so she saw the situation in Xiaohe Town, there is almost no cooking, daily food is mainly boiled, and the lack of cooking skills is also a reason.

Even if a child touches the river fish in the river, he will only cook it casually at home and give the child some meat to satisfy his cravings, but not many people are willing to eat it just because of the fishy smell of the river fish that cannot be removed.

Sometimes the beans soaked in Sister Qiu fell to the ground when scooping into the grinding plate, and after two days of germination, Jia's will throw the soybean sprouts far away, at this time, people look at it, the sprouted soybeans will be like sprouted sweet potatoes and flowers, you can't eat it, you will run out of stomach if you eat it.

Running belly is also a dialect of Xiaohe Town, which means the same as diarrhea.

Sister Qiu figured out a pot of soybean sprouts first, and only when all the people around her tasted it good could she persuade Jia's to sell this thing, and the workload of making soybean sprouts was negligible compared to grinding tofu.

In the afternoon, Sister Qiu chose a city of beans soaked for three or four hours and put them in a bamboo basket, covered with a layer of cloth, poured a layer of water forward, and prepared to wait for the night to go to bed and then water again.

Jia Shi naturally disagreed with her doing this, and Sister Qiu patiently explained for a long time, "I think this thing will definitely be edible, and the beans will sprout if they are planted?" The buds that have just sprouted are the most tender, and they are sure to be delicious! Let's try it, if it doesn't taste good, we will never eat again

It's not going to be done. ”

Because Sister Qiu had previously made water tofu and bean curd, the palm skills of cooking vegetables did not need to be taught, all of them were better than her, and in her thoughts, Jia's thoughts about what Sister Qiu was going to do were two points more, and she was not convinced at all.

"Then let's try it, I'll eat it then, you're just sick, and you'll be tired if you run your stomach again." Jia preached.

Sister Qiu responded with a smile, although the Mei family has many strange relatives, but this mother really didn't say anything to her.

When the Jiang family came over for dinner after work, Lin Zhun brought a basket of chickens, and counted Sister Qiu's joy over and over again, as if looking at the good life of being able to touch a few hot fresh red eggs every day.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the chickens had night blindness, and they couldn't see anything at night, and they didn't dare to move in the corner with their necks shrunk on their heads, and occasionally cooed twice.

"Two days of free-range first." Lin Qu said with a smile, wiping the sweat from his face, "When the wheat is harvested, I will build a chicken ring with Dazhun." ”

Jia Shi smiled and thanked him, "I'm bothering Brother Lin and Dazhu again." ”

Aunt Chunhua didn't care and wanted to shake her hand, but suddenly thought about what the family said at noon, so she changed her words: "Our two families are like a family, don't say this foreign talk!" ”

"Huh." Jia Shi smiled and responded.

The evening dish is a soybean boiled pork ribs, a soft fried tenderloin, a boiled winter melon, and a knife to pat the gourd, there are not many styles of dishes, but the portions are all very sufficient, and they are placed on the wooden table in a large basin. The pork ribs and lean meat are all bought in Lao Sheng's shop, which is much more expensive than when he first separated, Lao Sheng explained that the meat can not be put in the summer, and the grass pig is less killed, and the purchase price is a little more expensive.

On the contrary, Sister Qiu did not doubt Lao Shengmeng and them, and after working together for such a long time, she still believed in the character of Lao Sheng's family.

Dayin looked at the vegetables and was happy to bloom, soft fried tenderloin is his favorite, he had long wanted to do it again with Sister Qiu, and first used wooden chopsticks to clip a large wooden chopsticks to soft fried tenderloin and stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "It's better to be Sister Qiu." ”

The family is happy to bloom, all of them are acquaintances and they don't pay attention to the rules when they eat, Sister Qiu previously commented that Dayin is a snack, and everyone is brushing and brushing together, and the evaluation is really right.

Sister Qiu smiled and watched a few people eat vegetables, and couldn't help but stay on Lin Zhun for a while, if it weren't for her poor health, Jia didn't want her to do more work, she could also cook a few more dishes, other people eat incidentally, she wanted Lin Zhun to eat more.

Although she didn't have enough experience in love in her previous life, Sister Qiu also knew that if she wanted to capture a man's heart, she would catch his stomach first! Although she is still young, this kind of thing is tacit, in the ancient times when the order of her father and mother was important, the adults of the two families did not seem to object to the relationship between the two, which was even easier to do.

Before going to bed at night, Sister Qiu held a candle to illuminate it, went to the small kitchen to uncover the cloth and looked at the soybean sprouts she made

In the state of soaking soybeans, Sister Qiu watered it carefully again, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Jia Shi watched Sister Qiu count chickens in the yard in front of the window, smiled and shook her head, her daughter looked steady and capable, she was still a 10-year-old child, and a few chickens became her treasure.

The days passed without panic for two days, and all the wheat of each household was almost harvested, and the threshing floor was hot and noisy.

"This year's harvest is much smaller than in previous years, and nearly 100 catties of wheat are less than one acre of land in one city." In the gap between cooking, Jia Shi preached to Sister Qiu.
