Lian Qinghe sent a hundred catties of grain over, Cui'er didn't dare to hide it from Lian Qingshan, and after Lian Qingshan got up from sleep, she told him, and Lian Qingshan nodded when he heard the words, indicating that he knew, and didn't say anything more.

That night, Cui'er fried the dried tea green, and the taste of the tea this time was different from the previous one, which made Cui'er's mood a lot better, and she was more and more thinking about wanting to do this fried tea, which would be regarded as a way to make money in the future.

After a busy day, it was noisy and tired, and at night, whether it was Cui'er or even Qingshan, they were very tired, and the two fell asleep with their heads next to the pillow, and they didn't say anything all night.

The next morning, Cui'er got up, and seeing that it was still early, she didn't hurry to call Lian Qingshan to get up, changed into old coarse clothes, and went to the vegetable garden behind.

In the morning in the mountains, the dew was heavy, and the air was very humid, with the fragrance of earth and grass, which made Cui'er feel very good.

Cui'er carried a bucket and watered the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden, the seedlings of peppers, eggplants and persimmons grew to a foot high, and on the thick stems, the small fruits had begun to bear fruit, the diced peppers the size of fingernails, the small green eggplant buns and the small green persimmons the size of copper coins.

Beans and cucumbers, yesterday Lian Qingshan had already set up a shelf with small branches, but after a night's work, the thin vines climbed up a lot along the shelf, revealing tender green luster leaves with dewdrops, shining in the sun.

Cui'er cleaned up the vegetable garden, watered the vegetable seedlings, pulled out the newly grown weeds, cut them into several sections with a guillotine and threw them on the compost mound, pinched some small cabbage in her hands, and prepared to put them in the paste in the morning to make vegetable paste, and then returned to the front yard, washed her hands and prepared to cook.

Seeing that the vegetables in the vegetable garden are growing well, and I have a job selling wicker baskets, I don't have to worry about my livelihood anymore. In the future, it would be better if I could raise more chickens and lay more eggs for Lian Qingshan and the children to replenish their bodies, thinking so, Cui'er only felt very comfortable, and when she was cooking in the morning, she was humming songs.

"Cui'er, why are you up so early?" Lian Qingshan walked out of the house, watching Cui'er cooking breakfast with a smile on her face, and her mood became better.

"That's right, Qingshan, your body is getting better and better, our family now has food and drink, I total, can I bring some chickens back to raise, when the time comes, lay eggs for you to make up for your body, and you can also kill one to improve the food during the New Year." Cui'er said to Lian Qingshan while boiling the bud rice paste.

"Chickens?" Lian Qingshan was stunned after hearing this, "In our village, I don't seem to have heard of anyone raising chickens, I saw it when I was a child, and I don't know what happened over the years, I haven't seen anyone raise it." ”

Lian Qingshan hesitated, looking at Cui'er's bright eyes, looking at herself with anticipation, feeling that she would be sad if she rejected Cui'er like this, so she didn't say much, and said to Cui'er dotingly, "The next time you meet Aunt Lu, ask why, if there is nothing wrong, you can raise some chickens." ”

"Good!" Cui'er responded with a smile, and when she saw that the paste was almost boiled, she threw the little cabbage that had been cut into small pieces into the paste and cooked it, and then took the paste out of the pot.

woke up the big girl and Xiaohu, and was about to eat, when Cui'er heard someone calling outside, "Is Cui'er's sister-in-law at home?" The voice was very clear, and Cui'er could hear it at once, this was the movement of Aunt Chunzhu's little yam.

"Little yam, come in!" Cui'er hurriedly put down the work in her hand, went to the door and put the little yam in, and saw that he was still carrying a basket in his hand, so she asked curiously, "What are you doing this morning?" Have you eaten? Let's have a bite at my sister-in-law's house. ”

Cui'er didn't say kind words to the little yam, she had a good relationship with Aunt Chunzhu, and it was common for her to send each other a meal or something, but today the little yam came in a hurry, so naturally she couldn't let the child go back on an empty stomach, right?

"Okay, Cui'er's sister-in-law's cooking is delicious, I'll follow suit!" Xiao Yam was not polite, scratched his head and smiled, and followed Cui'er to say.

"Okay, wait, sister-in-law will serve it for you!" Cui'er looked at the little yam black and thin but very energetic, pursed her lips and smiled, and said to the big girl who was sitting on the kang and combing her pigtails, "Big girl, you greet the little yam for me!" ”

"Good!" The big girl responded crisply, combed her braids in three or two times, and walked to the little yam, "Uncle little yam, you sit, my mother is mushy in the morning, but it is fragrant!" ”

"Mmmmmm......" Xiao Yam looked at the big girl, a little girl of seven or eight years old, and came over to greet herself generously, nodded a little blushing, and then remembered what she was doing at Cui'er's house, "Sister-in-law, when my brother got up early and went up the mountain, he saw that there was a locust tree blooming, so he got a lot of locust flowers back, my mother looked fresh, so I gave some to Aunt Lu, sister-in-law Yinhuan and you, I put the locust flowers in the kitchen for you?" ”

"Ah, what about the acacia flowers at this time?" Cui'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, put the good bud rice paste on the stove, wiped her hands with her apron and took the basket, "I remember that Huaihua and Yuqian'er are in season, it's been almost a month!" ”

"Yes, my brother looked strange and fresh, so he came back with a lot of it." Little Yam said with a smile.

"Heh, this acacia flower is really fresh!" Cui'er took off the leaves covering the basket, and saw the bunches of snow-white locust flowers, which were exuding a sweet fragrance, and her heart suddenly fell in love.

"Okay, I'll take this acacia flower, if I make something delicious when I go back, I'll send some to Aunt Chunzhu." Cui'er took a basket of her own, vacated the acacia flower, and then put the basket on the side, "This basket is free, remember to take it when you go home later." ”

"Hey!" The little yam responded crisply, and followed Cui'er into the house for breakfast without seeing any outside.

After the family and the little yam were full of food and drink, Cui'er thought about raising chickens, so she carried the basket and sent the little yam back, and when she arrived in front of Aunt Chunzhu's house, she saw Aunt Chunzhu standing at the door and looking out.

"Little yam, why did you come back?" Aunt Chunzhu saw Xiao Yam and Cui'er coming, and immediately walked two steps out of the yard, walked to Xiao Yam, and scolded with the little Yam's ear, "You should be the wind when I tell you, I don't know how anxious Lao Tzu Niang is waiting for you at home!" ”

"Auntie, don't blame him, it just so happened that our family made breakfast, so I left him to eat a bite, and he came back late, no, I didn't come to accompany my aunt!" Cui'er pulled Aunt Chunzhu and smiled, Cui'er could actually see that Aunt Chunzhu was not really angry, but worried about the safety of the little yam, so she nagged a few more words.

"How can I blame you, this kid and I don't know yet, he is a glutton, and he can't take a step wherever he sees someone eating!" Aunt Chunzhu tapped the little yam's head with her fingers, and was about to pull Cui'er into the house, but before she entered the house, she saw Aunt Lu also coming over, just in time.

"Auntie, auntie, this is really a coincidence, I have something to ask you." After Cui'er entered the house, she saw that there were no outsiders, so she said directly.

"Just ask what's the matter!" Aunt Lu put the basket she was carrying in front of the door of Aunt Chunzhu's house, patted the ashes on her body and entered the house, looking at Cui'er's solemn appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Cui'er, this girl has changed sex today?" Why are you still out of the way! ”

"What's the ...... Auntie, you are laughing at me! Cui'er said, with a straight look, "Auntie, that's the case, I think that our yard is not small, if we can get some chickens to come back to raise, wouldn't it be able to supplement the family, and also make up for Qingshan's body?" It's just that I haven't seen anyone raising chickens in the village, and I'm a little uneasy, so I want to ask you if there's anything in our village. ”

"What should I do, raising chickens, there is nothing to say about raising chickens, it's just that our backing mountain is next to the mountain, and there are a lot of wild things, so I'm impatient to raise this." Aunt Lu waved her hand and said heartily, "There are a lot of eagles, pythons, and Huang Daxian on this mountain, if you raise more chickens, you will inevitably be worried about these, and it is very troublesome to look at them night and night, and there are many pheasants and hares on the mountain, and generally lazy people go directly to the mountain to catch them, and they are impatient to raise these, but there is nothing to say." ”

"That's right, Cui'er, if you really want to raise chickens, you have to seal the yard firmly, don't find anything else, if you invite it, talk about it, don't offend Daxian'er!" When Aunt Lu said this, she lowered her voice and said.

"Okay, auntie, I know!" Cui'er heard that there was no taboo, so she thought about it, and she wanted to get some eggs and come back to hatch chicks.

"If Cui'er wants to raise chickens, I'll go to my mother's house to touch the tunzi, they have chickens in the tunzi, so you won't have a place to change!" Aunt Chunzhu heard the conversation between the two and said positively.

"Then thank you Aunt Chunzhu, help me touch fifty eggs first, or just hug the chicken cubs, and I'll send you money later!" When Cui'er heard this, her heart became even hotter, and she couldn't help but say immediately.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about the money, I can't trust you anymore? You're young, and you've definitely never tended to the old hen holding the nest, so I'll take a look at the chicken cubs that I'll buy you and come back! Aunt Chunzhu waved her hand impatiently, but what she said made Cui'er more and more distracted.

Cui'er came out of Aunt Chunzhu's house, only feeling that her heart was indescribably comfortable and happy, and the wind was blowing under her feet, and she thought in her heart, the locust flowers that Xiao Yam brought over, might as well make something that everyone had never tasted to eat.

Thinking like this, a thought suddenly popped into Cui'er's mind, the acacia flower is sweet, and it is very suitable for making pasta and the like, so make the sophora flower steamed cake!
