Chapter 28: Cooperation
Headache.
So Song Xi admired the children of this era very much, looking at the two children in front of her, she was also a little distressed, and then her eyes lit up, "Xiaoshu, do you know the snail?" ”
It's summer now, it's the season to drink beer and eat crayfish and snails, thinking of this, Song Xi can't help but want to drool, I really want to eat!
In the aquatic area of her supermarket, there are also snails, flower nails, crayfish and other seafood, but she can't eat such a heavy taste now, but this does not prevent her from helping these two children within her ability!
"Little auntie, that one is not delicious." Zhou Xiaoshu thought that Song Xi wanted to eat snails, and hurriedly said.
"Xiaoshu, I spend money to collect snails, five catties a penny, I collect as much as you pick, how about it? But you have to wash the mud and keep the water dry, okay? "She can't eat it now, she can wait until she gets better!
Although she has it in the supermarket, the things in the supermarket are not inexhaustible, and she can eat them all one day, and she can't buy them from modern times, but it would be nice to find a 'supplier' in this era!
Thinking of this, Song Xi couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart, she was really too smart, doing so could not only help Xiaoshu Xiaohua improve her life, but also buy what she wanted at the lowest price.
It was just perfect.
Hearing the words 'five catties a penny', Zhou Xiaoshu stood up in surprise and looked at Song Xi in disbelief, although the children in the village had no chance to touch money, everyone was extremely sensitive to money, because they knew that only money could buy food and clothing.
"Little aunt, there are many snails in the paddy field, no one eats them at all, if you want to eat, I can go and help you pick up a basket and come back, five catties a penny, this is too expensive, and the coarse grain outside is only a few cents a catty!" Food is such a precious thing, only a few cents are sold outside, but there are so many snails that no one eats, and the little aunt actually pays a penny and five catties?
Is the little aunt a little stupid or really doesn't understand?
Song Xi stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Xiaoshu, who was a little excited, "Xiaoshu, little aunt is such a small favor, you don't want to help, then don't come to see the little aunt again, the little aunt will not pay attention to you when you come." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohua's eyes were red with fear, she had no friends, and no one liked her, this new aunt from the village didn't dislike her, gave her sugar and gave her sugar water to drink, which made her heart full of good feelings for this little aunt, she was really afraid that the little aunt would really ignore her.
"Little aunt, I'm willing to help, but I'm afraid that my little aunt will suffer." Seeing that Song Xi misunderstood what he meant, Zhou Xiaoshu hurriedly explained that although he had no money to study, a ten-year-old child was also a little sensible.
"The little aunt doesn't feel at a loss, not only can she eat the snails, but she also handed them over to your two children, but the little aunt feels that she has earned it!" Song Xi stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Xiaohua's hair, and then said, "Then let's talk about it, in the future, you will help me pick up snails when you are free, wash them and control the moisture, and then send them over when it gets dark, don't tell others, you know?" Little flower children, can you also keep secrets? ”
"Yes." Both children agreed crisply.
If you have money, you can buy food, you can fill your stomach, they are young but not stupid, how can they tell others, what if they hurt their little aunt?
The snail is in the paddy field, and the water in the paddy field can flood the ankles at most, so she is relieved to let the two children pick it up, as for the crayfish and snails, most of them are in the river, she doesn't dare to let the children go, otherwise something happens, she will die of guilt, so the crayfish and snails will be put on hold for the time being! When she was well, she used a lobster net to go to the river.
Anyway, crayfish can be eaten until October, and after October, crabs can be eaten again, and snails are available all year round. The snail is different, in winter, it hides in the mud and is difficult to find.
"Then the little aunt is here to thank you first!" Song Xi gave the two children two white rabbit toffee each.
The average family is patriarchal, the boy is pampered and domineering, everything goes into the boy's mouth, and the girl can't eat any good things, and these two children don't fight or grab, it can be seen that the two children have a deep relationship.
The two children sat under the osmanthus tree with Song Xi for a while and left, and the two of them had a lot of things to do when they went home, otherwise their father who loved to beat people would not be polite to them.
Even if Dad loves to beat people, they have nowhere to go, they can only stay here, and they don't know where their mother is, whether they will come back to pick them up, but it shouldn't be, a woman, even if she remarries, she must have a hard time, how can her in-laws agree to her to pick up the child in front of her?
Now that the little aunt has given them a way out, they all want to grasp it well.
Zhou Yi came back with a basket of mushrooms on his back, and when he entered the courtyard gate and saw Song Xi lying under the osmanthus tree, he was panicked, so he hurriedly walked over and shook her shoulder worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law......"
"Brother Yi, are you back?" Song Xi opened his eyes in a daze, saw the worried handsome face that appeared in front of him, reached out to cover his mouth, and yawned heavily, "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy." ”
"Why don't you go back to your room to rest when you're sleepy?" Zhou Yi picked up Song Xi from the bamboo chair and sent her back to the room to rest, just scared him to death, he thought that his little daughter-in-law fainted there.
Sending Song Xi into the room, Zhou Yicai came out to sort out the mushrooms, prepared the food for the night, and put the rest in a dustpan, planning to dry the mushrooms and keep them for later.
Now the sun is very sunny this season, as long as you bask for a few hours, it is not a problem to save for a few months.
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? When you're hungry, come and eat. As soon as Song Xi woke up and sat on the bed to wake up, she heard Zhou Yi's voice, she turned her head to look at the door, and met his sincere and caring eyes, feeling very warm.
"Okay, I'll be here in a moment." Song Xi simply brushed his two braids, tidied up his clothes, and went out for dinner, Zhou Yi had already brought dinner to the table under the osmanthus tree, not only served Song Xi a meal, but also made her a cup of malt cream, knowing that she didn't like to drink too sweet, so she put half a spoonful of malt milk, which should also be nutritious!
There are two dishes for dinner, a mushroom and egg soup, and a fried sweet potato stalk with bacon, under the guidance of Song Xi that day, Zhou Yi found that the sweet potato stalk was very tender and delicious, so he fried it a little more tonight.
It's delicious, but it's too troublesome to deal with, because you have to tear off the skin one by one, in fact, no one in the village eats this, and they all wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested, and the sweet potato vines and sweet potato stalks are all cattle rations.
