Chapter 12: A Piece of Pork
Bean-sized lights shone on the dozen or so people in the room, stewed milky fish soup was placed on the table, and Liu Chunlan took a wooden spoon to cook for each child.
An Ran sat in the recliner, she had just eaten, and everyone was in a bad mood today, especially her mother, who cried for a long time when she was breastfeeding.
Today, An Ran stayed at home alone, Brother Wenjing looked at her, and ran out when he heard the cry, and she couldn't go to see it.
Although there is fish soup, everyone does not get much, and they barely eat a full three.
At night, An Ran heard her father's and mother's night talk, saying that her cheap uncle came to make trouble today and caused a lot of trouble to the family, and she will not be able to raise her head at home in the future.
An Ran grunted, their family is really under a lot of pressure, plus her family has a total of ten children, four strong men, a total of nineteen people.
An Ran came to his farm, which is now level 29, the grain in the warehouse is piled up into a hill, and the two mother pigs have given birth to more than a dozen piglets.
An Ran began to expand a few pigsties, and she couldn't afford to raise them, and the gold coins on her panel were only 1086.
To go to the mall to buy pig feed and chicken feed, but also to buy a variety of farm tools and props, only when the harvest is once will there be 100 gold coins, about a week harvest, the medicine field vegetable garden orchard adds up to only 300 gold coins each time, the hens lay an egg a day, a hundred chickens harvest eighty or ninety eggs a day, and the corresponding eighty or ninety gold coins.
In the pharmacy, she recently unlocked the medicine for bruises, mainly because the medicines are from the medicinal materials of the medicine field, and the medicinal materials require experience points to unlock.
Enron worked hard in every part of the farm, and I was exhausted!
The warm light of the early morning sprinkled on An Ran's face, it was another day, she was the most idle in the family, just eat, drink and Lazar.
"Fubao, brother hug."
Every morning, Enron has to face a large group of boys hugging her one by one, and then smacking her face.
"Fu Bao is so good, look at her smiling at me, Fu Bao doesn't like the second brother the most, my brother will go to catch fish for you to eat."
After teasing Fu Bao, everyone went out, and Wen Bo, who was left behind, followed Zhenxiang's sister-in-law's buttocks.
Day after day, everyone does their job.
In the blink of an eye, the days of autumn breeze have passed, and the cabbage radish replanted by each family is already ready to eat.
Several women sat around the hall, cold rain falling outside, all kinds of old clothes and rags in their hands.
It was getting colder and colder, and the boys were still wearing thin linen clothes, especially a few large ones, which were showing their ankles and wrists.
"Alas! These clothes are really dismantled and repaired, and the kid grows very fast, look at the red cold of these feet and necks.
How can I spend the winter this year, my few dowry quilts have been washed away by the water, and the two pieces of cloth that I kept said to make a longer dress for Wen Ming, and I always pick up his clothes to wear. ”
Li Aling sat by the stove, roasting her hands while putting firewood in it, this is the warmest place.
"Don't burn too much fire, waste wood is very much, dig out the ashes below, and these coals will be collected in the oven."
It was Liu Chunlan who cooked, and there were a few steamed dried buns mixed with cabbage in the pot, as well as a pot of clear soup and little water paste, and a large pot of boiled radish.
When she was ready to cook, Liu Chunlan carefully wrapped a few steamed buns in a white cloth, took a few pickle gnocchi from a jar and put them in a bowl, and put them all into a basket.
Today it was Li Zhenxiang's turn to deliver food, and since that incident, the relationship between several women has been very delicate.
"Mother, I'll go." Wen Zhuo saw that it was raining outside and wanted to go together.
"Looking at my sister at home, my mother will be back soon."
These meals are for the men on the docks, and now that it is winter, there is no work in the fields, and the idle people at home go to the docks to work hard.
The food on the dock was expensive, so I had to ask my family to deliver it.
Seeing the woman walking away in linoleum, the rest of the women began to talk about homely things.
An Ran has started to eat liquid food now, and today he ate white radish, which is boiled in white water and made into a mush.
Although it is a little sweet radish, it is also very annoying to eat this every day.
"Fubao, hurry up and eat, I'll have diarrhea when it's cold later." Wen Zhuo took a spoon and scraped the radish in the bowl and fed it little by little.
An Ran is actually not a picky eater at all, but she eats this every day for half a month, and she is about to vomit.
"You said that this baby of the fourth brother doesn't eat this or that every day, she looks white and fat, like a fairy child on a New Year's painting, maybe she eats something."
This can't be blamed on everyone's suspicions, it's really An Ran who is too fat for nothing, since she was weaned, she has eaten liquid food every day, and liquid food is just a little mushy or something.
Fang Cuiying pouted and said: "You don't know how much pain the old man has, the eyeballs and lungs are protected, and the money from the monthly work saves a sum of money to buy millet for this girl, she is not fat, who is fat." ”
An Ran listened to the words of a few women, what kind of nutrition does that millet have, and every time the eldest aunt is reluctant, boiling it out is almost like water, and she can see people's faces.
"Dad, you're back." Several women saw Daddy Wang dressed in rain and carrying a piece of red and white meat in his hand.
"Where's this pork?"
Just a piece of pork, a few women were very excited, this good thing was seen last year.
Even Fang Cuiying swallowed her saliva, although her family used to kill pigs, but the situation has not been good in the past few years, and her father has changed his career to start a fragrant wax business.
"Keep this piece of meat, tomorrow is the third birthday, everyone eats something good."
Daddy Wang hung the ticking rain under the eaves, and his bare feet were covered with mud.
Li Aling brought the water that had just been washed for Daddy Wang's feet, and a pair of straw sandals that leaked on all sides had a rope that was worn out.
A few boys gathered around the meat, Harazi direct, the last time I ate meat was the New Year, pork stewed vermicelli, full of a big pot.
Liu Chunlan brought the meat into the kitchen, put it in the empty jar and covered it, this piece of meat weighs three or four catties, it can be divided into two or three meals, this fat meat boils out some oil and water, cools into lard, and eats cabbage and radish in the future.
An Ran saw that Daddy Wang was back, her hands were dancing, she had recently taken a lot of eggs for her grandfather to sell.
"Yo! My Fubao, I didn't eat, grandpa hugged me. Father Wang wiped the water from his hands, lifted An Ran high and took a walk in his arms.
"There are still two catties of fine rice, a few eggs, these good things are kept for Fu Bao, and none of you should touch her rations.
A few days ago, I had a dream, I dreamed of an old fairy, he said that our family has a heavenly god of food, is a little girl, as long as we have a good life to worship after there is no shortage of food and clothing, these good things are entrusted to our family blessings. ”
This is a statement that Daddy Wang came up with himself, he wants to earn a status for Fubao at home, otherwise he will be too biased.
"Dad, you said you liked Fubao, what old fairy eater, I know that you like little girls."
Compared to the old man's eccentricity, the big guy can't say anything, there are only a few good things, not to mention that so many boys are given to the youngest one.
