Liu Paner took the garlic mortar and said politely: "Thank you aunt for giving me the garlic mortar, there is a shortage of one in the house!" ”

Li Mason's daughter-in-law smiled all over her face, and was even more polite, "It's just a garlic mortar, it's not worth a few dollars." You have to leave some good melon seeds for me this year, and my family wants to grow melons next year. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, agreed, and said the scene, "Okay, I will definitely leave good seeds for my aunt when the time comes." ”

Li Stonemason's daughter-in-law smiled, the few acres of wasteland at home are dry land, and rice cannot be grown, so it is best to grow melons.

Coming out of Li Stonemason's house, Li Dabao was sullen and silent.

Seeing this, Liu Pan'er was quite curious, and asked suspiciously: "Dabao, what's wrong with you?" Aren't you happy that our family has bought so many things? Or do you feel like you're spending too much money? ”

Li Dabao shook his head and replied in a sullen voice: "Mother, so many things can be used at home, and the price given by the people in the village is fair, I don't think it costs too much!" ”

Liu Paner raised her eyebrows, reached out and touched Li Dabao's head, and asked quite puzzled: "Since you don't feel sorry for money, then why are you unhappy?" ”

Li Dabao raised his head and looked at his mother, "Mother, now every household in the village wants melon seeds, and many people will plant them next year." At that time, the melons grown by our family may not be easy to sell. ”

Hearing Li Dabao's words, Liu Paner smiled, yes, this kid has some talent for business.

Liu Paner said with a smile: "Dabao, next year, every household in the village will grow melons and croissant honey, and our melons are indeed not easy to sell." But don't worry, one Baisha town can't consume so many melons, but we can go to the county seat to sell melons, and the price can be a little more expensive!

In addition, our family also grows other things, which can also be sold for money. In short, don't worry, I have a lot of ideas in my head, and there are many ways to make money, even if the people in the village are envious, they can't learn everything. In the future, our family's life will only get better and better, believe me. ”

When Li Dabao heard this, he finally put his mind at ease, and a smile appeared on his face, "My mother is very smart, I follow my mother to eat rice and meat." ”

After having no worries, Li Dabao followed his mother back home and saw that there were many people around the family.

Liu Pan'er walked over, Zhou Cuihua brought her daughter-in-law over to measure the cloth, and other women in the village also came to see the excitement.

"The color of this flower cloth is so beautiful, it is water red, and adults and children can wear it!" A woman praised, and her eyes showed envy.

"yes, how much does this cloth cost a foot?" Another woman asked, "It's softer and firmer to the touch, and it should be more expensive than the one in our hometown!" ”

Zhou Cuihua smiled, happy in her heart, "This kind of cloth costs five cents a foot, and the shopkeeper of that cloth village bought our family's melons, which can be regarded as knowing us, and sells them cheaply for four cents a foot." ”

Zhou Cuihua's daughter-in-law is very happy, so much cloth can also make a dress for them.

"Auntie, you have so much cloth at home, can you lend some to our family? The kids are bare-bottomed now! ”

"Yes, auntie, lend us two feet of cloth too!"

Zhou Cuihua has long known that some people will be like this, "This bit of cloth is not enough for more than a dozen people in our family, how can I give it to you?" Don't worry, the grain in the fields and the sweet potatoes are about to be harvested, and they can be sold for money. ”

After Zhou Cuihua said this, she saw Liu Pan'er coming over and looked at Liu Pan'er for help.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, every household has planted sweet potatoes, and the leaves can be fried and scalded, and the sweet potatoes below taste better." Aunt Cuihua has tasted it before, and it is sweet and fragrant. Those sweet potatoes last longer than melons and must be better sold. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cuihua nodded hurriedly, "Sweet potatoes are very delicious, especially my mother-in-law has no teeth, sweet potatoes are soft and glutinous, fragrant and sweet, and I still often talk about them." Every household has planted it, you take good care of it, and you can harvest a lot! ”

Originally, those women who wanted to take advantage of Zhou Cuihua and Liu Pan'er felt a little more comfortable after hearing Zhou Cuihua and Liu Pan'er say this.

Although I am envious and jealous, I still remember the sweet potato seedlings given by Liu Paner and Zhou Cuihua's family in my own field.

After measuring the cloth and cutting it with scissors, Zhou Cuihua and her daughter-in-law took the cloth home.

The others exchanged a few words with Liu Paner, and left unsatisfied.

These people believed Liu Paner and Zhou Cuihua's words, and they worked very diligently in the fields, looking forward to the sweet potato harvest.

Aunt Li was also very happy when she learned that Liu Paner's melons were selling well.

The better the melon sells, the more sweet the melon needs to be taken care of.

Her son Li Dazhuang can accept Liu Paner's family's remuneration with peace of mind.

Liu Paner loaded three catties of rice and three catties of noodles, and handed them to Li Dabao, "Dabao, send it to Grandma Li, your uncle Zhuang shows us melons, and we are in the field all day long, we have sold it for money now, and we should also pay others." ”

Li Dabao took it and said with a smile: "Yes, mother, I'll send it to Grandma Li!" ”

After Aunt Li received the rice noodles, she smiled even more, stopped eating wild vegetables for dinner, spread soft cakes for her son, and sent them to her son.

After Li Dazhuang got the cake, he was just about to eat it, so he hurriedly rolled one for the old mother, "Mother, you eat!" ”

Aunt Li waved her hand, "I've eaten it at home, you can eat it quickly!" If you can't finish it, save it for tomorrow morning! ”

Li Dazhuang didn't follow, "Mother, sister-in-law gives us rice noodles, how can you be willing to eat it!" I definitely didn't eat anything at home, so I left it all to me. But I can't eat alone, mother, you eat too! If you don't eat it, your son won't eat either. ”

Aunt Li's heart was as sweet as eating a chilled melon, and she reached out to take the cake handed over by her son, "Okay, I'll eat it!" I'm old, it's enough to eat a piece of bread, you're still young, eat more to be better! ”

While eating, Li Dazhuang said, "Mother, I must work hard to let you eat enough!" ”

"Good!" Aunt Li had tears in her eyes, it was not easy for the mother and son to rely on each other for so many years.

Especially on the way to escape the famine, after several lives and deaths, now I can settle down and survive, which is God's eye-opening.

Li Dazhuang was grateful to Liu Paner in his heart and took care of the melon field more seriously. When encountering some crooked melon shelves, Li Dazhuang will also find a bamboo pole and rope to tie it strongly.

In short, Liu Paner hired Li Dazhuang to work, which was very cost-effective.

At this time, in the cave, Liu lit an oil lamp, preparing to cut and make clothes.

Liu Paner stopped, "Sister-in-law, it's dark, and the oil lamp is not on, I'll make clothes for the child tomorrow!" Now that it's hot, summer clothes are easy to make, so there's no need to rush so much. ”

Liu Shi rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "As soon as I have some good things in my hand, I can't be idle." Dabao, Xiaobao, is a leather boy, just make short clothes. Ah Rong Ali, Ah Fang are all older, girls are a little particular about making clothes, so many clothes, it is estimated that it will take a long time to make them. ”
