Yunfei thinks that he can still raise a family, if he doesn't want to be too high-profile, he can make a fortune by selling anything.

Thinking of this, he still thought about it, and he thought about how the ginseng grew. After eating, let's go up the mountain and take a sneak peek.

The siblings didn't talk again.

Although with the education she received since childhood, Bai Guihua felt that what her brother said was a bit out of line.

But I can't help but imagine if I could live close to home......

But soon she stopped this thought, this is not the thought she should have, the eldest brother is like a father, and the elder brother will do whatever she arranges.

It's just that I subconsciously want to do a lot of work to prove my worth.

Seeing that she finished wiping the table and was about to feed the chickens again, Yunfei hurriedly stopped, "Sister, let those chickens go!!

If they eat it again, they're really going to die. ”

After all, he had already fed it once in the morning, and it was snowing, so the chickens were hiding in the house next to each other to keep warm.

Bai Guihua blushed, "Brother got up so early today?" ”

Usually, these chores are done by several of their women in turn.

"Well, I got up before dawn this morning to clear the snow, and I couldn't sleep when I went back to the house, so I just did all the work, and it was cold, so you should stay in the house."

Yunfei has never been a lazy person, maybe he will be tired and rotten, but more often, he is full of enthusiasm for life.

So I really did this kind of work, and I didn't think about assigning work or anything like that.

Soon, everyone was up.

The weather was cold, so Yunfei boiled hot water in the pot and asked them to wash in the stove room.

At this time, there was no toothpaste, and there were few people who could brush their teeth with wicker dipping in salt.

And the thing they use to brush their teeth at home is Yunfei's homemade tooth powder.

I spread egg cakes for breakfast and made hot white porridge to eat.

They wanted to help with some work, but they found that they didn't need anything anymore.

"Let's go back to the house, the road is slippery in the snow, don't go out, and then go out when the weather is good." This is mainly with Zhao Baozhu.

She prefers to go out to chat with the little daughters-in-law in the village and listen to gossip.

…………

Throughout the winter, the snow fell three times in succession, and some thatched houses in the village that had fallen into disrepair collapsed.

The two families of the second and third uncles of the Bai family lived a little far away from the old mansion, so they never moved.

During the Chinese New Year, Yu Li, Yunfei should come to the door no matter what.

So he went with some light gifts, everyone looked at each other and hated each other, and after leaving a polite manner, he didn't even leave a meal, and Yunfei went home with the white osmanthus.

Of course, they didn't let them stay for dinner.

After that, I went to the patriarch's village chief's house to give New Year's gifts, but I warmly left them for dinner, but they didn't stay either.

After all, everyone came to give gifts on the same day, and there will definitely be many more people later, and Yunfei doesn't want to stay and disturb.

If you have this time, it is better to go home early and gather your own family meal.

This is the first time that their family of five has spent the New Year together.

I put on my family clothes at dawn.

The red cotton jacket is embroidered with gold ingots, and the collar and sleeves are embellished with rabbit fur.

In the stove room, Yunfei was wearing an apron made for him by Du Qingliu, and he was flipping the cauldron.

Everyone else was there to help, washing vegetables, choosing vegetables, washing dishes and chopsticks, and lighting the fire.

In front of the door outside, the big red Spring Festival couplets were pasted, and the wall in the courtyard was also pasted with red hollow blessing characters.

At the gate, Yunfei also bought a pair of red lanterns to hang this year, and it was festive to look at.

Zhao Baozhu and Zhang Dujuan are both children conceived in September, and now they are just over March, and it is estimated that when the time comes, the two will not be too far apart.

Du Qingliu was a little later than them, and it was only two months now, but the fetus was very stable, and there was no problem for the time being.

"Xianggong, shall we fry the fruit?"

Fried fruit, in fact, is flour kneaded into balls and fried, wrapped in syrup and cooled, sweet and crunchy.

"Fry it, you can taste it, don't eat too much, it's easy to get angry, and if there are children who come to visit the New Year, give them a share."

With the situation in the village where it is difficult to eat enough, it is estimated that few families are willing to make sugar and flour like this.

So he fried some and gave them to the children so that they could have a happier year.

Just last month, after paying the poll tax, most people are tightening their belts to get by.

After planting one season of crops every year, after paying the field tax, there is not enough food and clothing, let alone selling them for silver.

It can only be said that if you save some food, you will not die of hunger.

If you can't find anything to do outside, you won't even be able to pay the poll tax.

And in such a small town, how many jobs can be allocated?

It has become a trend to sell property and sell children, wives and children.

However, the woman who is married by the government has a guarantee, that is, she can only give it up and cannot be re-sold.

Otherwise, everyone will go and get the money from their daughters-in-law to sell them.

When it came to the child, Zhao Baozhu was a little sullen and said: "Xianggong, I heard that the leaves were sold by her father." ”

"What? The leaves were sold? Bai Osmanthus was surprised.

Yun Fei was also stunned by the movements in his hands.

This winter, because he didn't have time and his family was full of pregnant women, he didn't feel at ease, so the firewood was collected from the children in the village.

It's the same price as in the town, and it's basically delivered by some young men.

Ye Zi is Stone's younger sister and often comes after his brother.

The stone sells firewood, and she sweetly sends the wild vegetables in the basket or a handful of tender grass for them to feed the chickens, saying that she is grateful to Brother Yongming for receiving her brother's firewood.

Although the little girl's appearance is not very good, her sweet smile is very contagious.

"Why did you sell it? Stone makes a lot of money selling firewood this winter! Zhang Dujuan also felt sorry for the little girl.

She also gave the little girl candy to eat, thinking about her child, if it was a girl, it should be so cute......

Zhao Baozhu sighed, "It's her grandmother who is sick and has no money at home, so she sold her."

I also heard about it today, and yesterday the people were taken away and sold to the yellow men in the town. ”

When they heard this, the crowd didn't know what to say.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Du Qingliu lifted his stomach a little stunned, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: Child, you have to be angry, don't be a woman, in this world, women are too difficult.

She is not the only one who has such thoughts, since she was pregnant, all three of them have been looking forward to the boy in their wombs.

Only boys will not be abandoned.

Only a boy can protect his mother.

And the girl ...... It's so hard for them to even protect it.

………

In the end, it was a good day, and everyone didn't feel sad about it for too long, and soon cheered up again to have a good New Year.

Sweet and sour fish, stewed chicken soup, steamed eggs with hibiscus, stir-fried bean sprouts, and a plate of braised tofu and stir-fried pork.

Today's meal was extraordinarily hearty.

The smell of the smell was permeated by a few nearby houses, and although others would have eaten better today, they would not have prepared so many meat dishes.

In the vermicelli stew, there are basically radish, and the slices of meat in it are counted.

Three for men, one for women, and one for children.
