For the sake of the child in her belly, Li Dafeng knew that she shouldn't run home anymore, but the situation at home, how could she let go of it now and really didn't care?

How lively her nephews usually are, Li Dafeng knows best, and now they are leaning on the arms of adults one by one.

Her face was entangled, and she suddenly pulled Ning Laosan to the side, "Changgui, do you think I can let my mother and them also go and scrape some saltpeter and exchange taro with my mother?" ”

Ning Laosan looked embarrassed, "I, I don't know, it's my mother who is helping us and the people in the village in this matter of changing taro." Your mother's ......."

Li Dafeng also knew, but seeing the thin family's appearance that could fall down as soon as the wind blew, he gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, I'll let them blow some first, and let's ask my mother again when I go back, if my mother doesn't want to, forget it." ”

Big deal, find a way again......

As for what way, she didn't know. But you can't ignore the life and death of her father's family, she is the only girl in the family, whether it is before or after marriage, her father and brother love her very much, when she was coaxed by Ning Laosan to take the family's food to her mother-in-law's house, her father and her mother and several brothers must have known, but no one said anything about her.

On the contrary, her mother secretly gave her several times of money.

Ning Laosan looked at his brother-in-law, who was strong enough to kill a cow with one punch, and now had sunken eye sockets, he still couldn't harden his heart and agreed to Li Dafeng's method.

After Li Dafeng told the Li family about the saltpeter, Brother Li showed joy on his face, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the backyard to pick up a small stone and ran to the room, "Sister! Do you see this is also the saltpeter you said? ”

There are a lot of these things in the mountain behind their house, these days when they went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and chop firewood, they found it, looking at that appearance, at first they thought it was salt, so they brought some back, and then it was useless to pile up next to the firewood in the backyard.

If you can really get taro, then you can survive this life.

However, according to Xiaomei, I don't know if the Wang family's aunt is willing to change it for them.

Li Dafeng and Ning Laosan took the stone and looked at it over and over again, Ning Laosan squatted down, found another stone, smashed this saltpeter-like thing into a corner, and only after smashing it into powder did Ning Laosan confirm that this was the saltpeter they scraped off the wall of the latrine, but I don't know why this is one by one.

Ning Laosan stood up and asked the question in his heart.

"We have a lot of this thing in the mountains behind our village, and it is a kind of stone. If you need it, Aunt Wang, you can take it back. If you can't change the taro, forget it. ”

Wang Xiujuan didn't expect that her three daughters-in-law would go back to her parents' house and bring her such a big surprise!

Ning Qingxi took this stone with a happy face, it was indeed saltpeter! I didn't expect that they couldn't find saltpeter in the mountains for so long, and now they actually found it!

It's really another village.

Li Dafeng was very happy to see the two of them, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Mother, do you say that these stones from my mother's house can be exchanged for taro?" ”

Wang Xiujuan smiled: "Yes, why can't you?" You ask them to carry the stone on their backs, but they do it piece by piece, not more than powder, so they can only change half the amount of powder. ”

There are still a lot of impurities on these saltpeters, which have to be broken for screening, there is a lot of loss, plus this artificial, so it is definitely not the same price as the powder.

Ning Qingxi didn't know how much saltpeter there was in Li Dafeng's house, so he pulled Wang Xiujuan aside and whispered: "Milk, I don't know how much saltpeter there is in the third aunt's house, I heard her mean a lot, don't change our taro when the time comes." Otherwise, it's better to fix a number, right? ”

Wang Xiujuan also made sense when she heard it, estimated the grain in the cellar, and pulled Ning Qingxi back, while Li Dafeng was still waiting in place.

"There are also a number of taro, at most two hundred catties, you let them quickly bring the saltpeter."

When Li Dafeng heard this, he was overjoyed, and quickly nodded, "Okay, good!" Mother, don't worry, I'll go now. ”

Ning Laosan listened and anxiously grabbed his stupid daughter-in-law's hand, this time it can't be dark? "You're still pregnant, and I'll go if you want to go."

After the two came back, they were busy with taro, but they hadn't told Wang Xiujuan about Li Dafeng's pregnancy.

"What? Is there a third family? ”

Li Dafeng looked embarrassed and said shyly: "Well, I have been wanting to vomit for the past two days, I don't know what is going on, or if my mother said that I only knew." ”

"Okay. That's a good thing, if you're pregnant, you don't run around. ”

After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she instructed Ning Laosan:

"Third child, you can go to your father-in-law's house tomorrow and say it. On weekdays, he takes care of his daughter-in-law at home. ”

Ning Changrong had to help buy the things that he had to buy in the village, so he rushed home.

After eating, I heard Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan talking about the fact that saltpeter had been solved.

Then he shared the situation in the county with his grandparents and grandchildren.

Ning Qingxi said happily: "Our family is coming to the door with three joys today!" The sales of cabbage are not worried for the time being, saltpeter has also been handled, and the third aunt is pregnant. ”

"Isn't it? This saltpeter was found, and it finally made a stone in my heart fall, no, I have to go and see it in person with the third child tomorrow. Girl, didn't you say that saltpeter can be used to make ice? If that's more, we'll have one more entry in the summer. ”

Ning Qingxi said: "That's right! We can sell popsicles! Sell Fruit Crushed Ice! ”

Ning Changrong added: "You can also sell a few ice cubes directly to those restaurants in cities and counties, and if you have more, it will make people suspicious, and it is still okay to sell a few pieces." Ice is worth a lot of money this summer. ”

They were just a peasant family in the countryside that sold a few large pieces of ice, and it could be said that they were in the cellar in the winter, and if there were ice cubes for sale all the time, there would be doubts.

After selling ice cubes, you sell popsicles or fruit crushed ice, who knows how many you sell in a day?

The next day, Ning Changrong went to his father-in-law's house with Ning Laosan early in the morning, and the Li family was overjoyed when they heard that these useless stones could really be exchanged for sweet and soft glutinous taro, and they thanked Ning Changrong and Ning Laosan for a while, and Li's father and mother sighed again and again that they did not choose the wrong family for their daughter.

The Ning family is truly benevolent and righteous.

Ning Changrong, under the leadership of Brother Li, went to the back mountain of their village and saw a large area of saltpeter mines, what he saw was not saltpeter mines, these were all money and gunpowder!

On the same day, he dragged a box of saltpeter and returned home happily.

Most of the top was dug by Brother Li and his family, and the rest Ning Changrong took Ning Laosan to dig it.

There were also two brothers, Brother Li and Second Brother Li, who went back together, and the family was waiting for these taros to be put into the pot, and the two of them came to exchange for taro.

After Wang Xiujuan weighed the saltpeter, she gave the taro to the two of them, and gave each of them a pancake for the two to eat on the road.

After the two brothers of the Li family got the taro and pancakes, they were so excited that they didn't know how to express their gratitude.

This food is now the life of their family.

thanked Wang Xiujuan's family for their kindness, and said goodbye to her sister before leaving in a hurry with a taro.
