Chapter 140: The Yi family has a big house
I have to say that Li Cong is a natural village chief.
It is reported that on the same day, he ordered someone to redivide the cultivated land in Dongshan.
According to the number of households in the village and the total population of each household, the cultivated land is divided into three categories: large, medium and small.
Finally, each household is divided into three groups according to the size of the population.
Each family has a person who can call the shots, and the distribution is made by drawing lots.
Because he was originally grouped.
Therefore, families with a large population are drawn to large plots, and those with fewer people are small.
As for the position, it was all drawn out by myself with my eyes closed.
Even if it's far away, you can only blame yourself for bad luck.
In this way, this seemingly complicated and not easy thing to do, he was able to do it in three or two days.
After the land was divided, he was not idle.
It is now the slack season, the women have to prepare the New Year's goods, and the men do not want to be idle.
He shouted at them all, and went up the mountain to loosen the soil and pull out the weeds.
Time flies quickly, and it has reached the twentieth day of the lunar month.
There are only about ten days left until the Chinese New Year.
This is Yi Mingxue's first year in this world.
Before she knew it, she had been in this world for months.
In the decade of decade of apocalyptic decay and hard survival.
You may not even be able to eat a stable meal, let alone the Chinese New Year.
Yi Mingxue felt as if she had forgotten what it was like to celebrate the New Year.
Until the women of the village swept away the decadence of the past and began to prepare for the rush in and out.
She gradually got a sense of reality.
She followed what Aunt Li taught, and she had to prepare dumplings for the New Year.
Then you have to make your own dumplings.
In this winter, there are no fresh vegetables, so everyone will use their own home-grown soybean sprouts and soft tofu instead.
If you can, you can also make some konjac and sweet potato flour.
By the way, there's also fried pork.
Extravagant food like fried crispy pork was something that the big guys couldn't have imagined in the past.
But now Second Aunt Li can also prepare some.
In addition to eating, you also have to prepare red Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers to drive away New Year beasts.
and yellow incense and paper money for sacrifices.
Oh, and most importantly.
New clothes and New Year's money for the little ones.
The rest is easy to say, but you can make your own food by hand, which is difficult for Yi Mingxue.
Especially to make tofu, you need to grind the beans into soy milk with a stone mill.
Then use that primitive and simple wooden ring and add a piece of white gauze to filter out the bean dregs inside.
The stone mill was okay, she had a lot of strength, and she found the pattern in a few clicks.
I don't feel tired either.
But the wooden ring really didn't listen to the call, and she didn't make a little okara for a long time.
This scene can make Aunt Li who was passing by laugh.
It's not enough for her to watch the joke on her own.
He also called more women from the same village to laugh together.
Yi Mingxue thinks that she is a fairly thick-skinned person.
Being watched by them like this, I suddenly felt that my cheeks were a little hot.
A few small ones are willing to help.
But in the past, I followed Boss Yi and Mrs. Yi to celebrate the New Year.
There are very few moments like this when you can touch important food.
They all do hard and tiring work such as carrying water, chopping wood, and going up the mountain to find wild vegetables.
So much so that no one in this family of six will do it.
Second Aunt Li and the others looked at it with a smile outside the courtyard for a while.
In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore.
A swarm of people swarmed into the yard of her house, directly anti-customer.
The tofu that couldn't be made in her hands was taken care of by Aunt Li.
Zhu Boniang unveiled the dumplings she had soaked and was immediately shocked on the spot.
"Big girl, are you soaking too much water?"
Yi Mingxue: "Forehead ......"
She added it by feeling.
Some people also found that the bean sprouts she gave birth to were growing in a mess.
With the help of enthusiastic villagers Li Eraunt and others.
They first criticized what Yi Mingxue had prepared.
In the end, he quickly helped her complete the remedy.
even helped her cut some uneaten radishes in the corner into pieces and make a jar of kimchi.
When Yi Mingxue found that she was useless in her own kitchen.
Aunt Li and the others leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
couldn't help but tease her, "It seems that this Yi Daya is not omnipotent!" ”
"The aunts laughed."
After speaking, Yi Mingxue silently wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead.
For a few aunts who helped, they each grabbed a bag of dried fruit snacks.
The yard is in full swing.
But I saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure walking by outside the courtyard.
Yang Xiuying held her son Li Ping'er and carried a large basket of weeds on her back.
It should have been cleaned up by going to Dongshan to loosen the soil today.
Most of these weeds are thatch, and people can't eat them.
But in this kind of year, it is still okay to feed the pigs after cooking.
Speaking of which, since the Li family's father and son were imprisoned.
The Li family came several groups of people who demanded debts one after another.
Among them, there was one in Qiyang Town that day, looking for Li Gechang to apply for an annual card.
But the thugs from the gambling house in Fengyun Town came the most.
It is said that when Li Gechang bought the horse and the chariot that day, he borrowed fifty taels of silver from them.
Now, a few months have passed, and the interest has rolled to eighty.
Yang Xiuying had no choice but to pay for all the valuable items in the family.
But it's still not enough.
When those people saw her orphan and widow, they almost snatched Li Ping'er away to pay off her debts.
In the end, it was Li Cong who came forward and sold a small courtyard secretly purchased by Village Chief Li in the town, and then paid it off.
It was only then that the village knew.
It turned out that it was when the big guy was starving and freezing.
Li Zhongqing actually used the people's fat and ointment scavenged from them to quietly buy a brick house and tile house in the town for himself.
At this time, even the relatives of the Li family were completely disappointed in Li Zhongqing's father and son.
For Yang Xiuying and Li Ping'er's mother and son, naturally they don't have a good face.
This also makes life even more difficult for the orphans and widows.
"This Yang Xiuying has changed a lot, her nostrils used to be long, but now she has lowered her eyebrows a lot."
The women in the courtyard couldn't help but gossip.
"No, I underestimated her before. There was such a big change in the family, and she actually resisted. ”
"Alas, that's not what her father-in-law and man did for themselves!"
Yi Mingxue couldn't help but glance at the mother and son who had already walked away.
Both were covered in mud.
Thinking that the land in Dongshan wanted to loosen the soil and pull weeds, her family had no man, so she had to go up by herself.
I don't know who couldn't help but sigh and continue.
"Well, she's pitiful. I thought I could enjoy a lifetime of happiness, but in the end it was not a bitter life. ”
Second Aunt Li nodded, "Let's not talk about the length of people behind our backs." ”
"As long as she doesn't become a demon in the future, we will help wherever we can. In a village, she can't starve to death. ”
Several others agreed.
A thousand mistakes, Li Ping'er's kid is not wrong.
A few people were chatting.
There was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the village.
Soon, the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded.
Listening to the sound, it seemed to be going in the direction of the Yi family's big house.
Soon Da Ga and Xiao Ga ran over.
also brought accurate news: "Yi Chun has come to the house to have a guest!" It's still a carload of rich people! ”
