Then
do you want to send the children to the school now? Ning-Er asked again.
Chou-Gu
now has a dozen Silver Taels on hand. Plus, they go hunting and selling
vegetables from time to time, and the days are all right. It is also time
to send a child to school, or if he is two years old, he will be delayed.
“To
find out, you have to spend more money a year,” Chou-Gu said. To be
honest, she did not expect to send her children to school at this time, because
she did not care.
"Go
and ask now." Ning-Er also said that it was the rainy person, and the
group went to the school again.
As a
result, one year’s repairs only required ten Silver Taels, but some other
miscellaneous fees, such as pen and ink, books, and their homes, are still far
away, and they have to live here. Up, the cost of a year is about thirteen
Silver Taels.
This
overhead is really expensive. Especially in this place, most people still
have to go hungry. It can be said that an ordinary family is afraid that
they will not have 13 Silver Taels in their lifetime.
"No
wonder few people can read the book." Chou-Gu is secretly ‘Calling.
For a
student's annual expenses, it is equivalent to raising an old snack for a few
years. This number is more expensive than modern education. And if
you want to give out a student, at least ten years, is there a so-called
ten-year window? If you don't read it for many years, you can get
it. In this way, the cost of reading is more expensive. It is no
wonder that there are fewer ancient scholars, and this tuition fee is really
not enough for people to afford.
However,
Chou-Gu now has nearly twenty-two silvers on hand. How can one or two Silver
Taels be saved in one year? That is to say, she can basically get the money for
Ming’s two-year book. But the tuition fees for the next year will have to
be earned by another idea. How can they earn more than a dozen Silver
Taels by selling their food and hunting for a year? It is estimated that
the former Wu Hunter can only earn 12 or 28 Silver Taels. Otherwise, he
will not leave no more homes for this family.
"I
will check it out again," Chou-Gu said vaguely.
She
is still hesitating in her heart. She is not reluctant to give money to Minger
to go to school. She is thinking, if she is going to go to school now, others
will doubt where she got the money from? She has to let everyone know that
the name of the money that Minger went to school is justified. Otherwise,
her days are only afraid of getting a storm. Such a large amount of silver
can be solved by not only ten pheasant wild rabbits. The villagers will
certainly doubt this suspicion, and come up with a bunch of broken things.
Ning-Er
stunned, changed her mind, and understood her difficulties. This is not just a
matter of money. Reading is a big event. There are no readers in several
villages nearby. They are the heads of the village chiefs of the villages (the
most wealthy people in the local area), and they have never had serious study.
The most important thing is to let a child Just know a few words.
After
all, there will always be one or two people literate in a village. For example,
if you want to write a genealogy, get a marriage book, and preside over a
family, you will have to write. Therefore, the village head is generally
literate. In fact, the problem of food and clothing for the villagers can
not be solved, and no one wants to read and read.
This
is why people don't care about Wu hunter literacy. It is now that most of
the people in Jiangwu Village know that Minger and Chou-Gu know a few
words. They are not in the heart, but they don’t know the words here. It’s
not a big deal for ordinary people. The field that needs literacy and the village
chief must have come forward. The length of a village, in fact, has to
manage a lot of things.
No
matter which place the school has a modern literacy class, this literacy class
is not a serious study. The Master teaches you to understand some of the most
basic daily use words, even if it is.
It is
such a literacy class that only learns for one year, and it takes two Silver
Taels for this poor place. Generally, such students are older, such as ten
years old, because they know how to cherish this opportunity, they will study
hard and not dare to play. A wise child can learn a lot of knowledge in a
year, in addition to reading and writing. There are also the Masters who
will occasionally teach the content of the students. There are also
disciples who, regardless of the matter, directly let the students who are a
little learned to teach the children of the literacy class.
"For
the time being, I can still learn in my own home. I will teach him more when I
have time," Ning-Er said.
"Well, thank you very much."
Chou-Gu nodded. She really can't do anything about her imperial
examination. Although she went to Academy, she hated classical Chinese when she
went to school. Now she just remembers some ancient poetry and songs from everyone,
and she gave it back to the teacher.
"Thank
you for your thanks, I thank you so much," Ning-Er said quickly.
The
scorpion noodle Chou-Gu gave him directly, let him take it to the pillars.
Ning-Er
is very embarrassed to ask, Chou-Gu said : "Are you thinking that we have
leftovers?"
"What
you said, if you didn't eat it, you picked it out first. Where is the
rest?" Ning-Er said quickly.
"You
don't be so polite with me. I don't always get your light. Actually, I wanted
to buy a bowl and bring it back, but think about it. This noodle brought back,
it has long been a mess, and the taste is also Not so good. Next time I take
the pole to eat." Chou-Gu said.
Ning-Er
quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, a bowl of noodles is ten dollars.
It's too expensive. You can't eat any more. It's better to cut half a catty of
meat and eat it."
Chou-Gu
smiled and knew that she spent too much money on this time. She thought it took
more than two or two dollars and she was upset.
It is
really because of the poor, she spent so much money at once, she is simply
guilty. She couldn't help but persuade herself in her heart that she would
have to save some money next time. There is no money to use it. This is
just what Ning-Er saw. If someone else saw it, I didn't know what it was going
to cause.
After
returning home, Chou-Gu took the snack directly to the younger
brother. She and Minger have already eaten the flesh in the market
town. Not hungry yet. She had to look at the sky early and deal with
the pig's trotters and pork that she bought. Now that the weather is
getting warmer, these meat dishes can't be stored directly, only stewed or
marinated, or they will break down.
"Take
these to my mother." Chou-Gu said, splitting the snacks out half, leaving
them to the 3rd sister to eat, and half letting the younger brother take it to
her mother.
Then
she took a kelp and gave it to Minger, saying, "Go to the basin."
The
two younger brothers were obedient to work, Chou-Gu first pickled up three
pounds of meat, then took out all the pig's trotters, scraped the hair and
burned the blood with hot water, thrown into the cauldron Cook it up. She
added a large pot of water and two pig's hooves to their home for a few
days. She had to cook the trotters first, leaving more than half of them,
and slowly eating them. Leave only a little and a little stew with kelp,
and stay until tomorrow.
The
time required for the trotters to cook was not short. When the pot was boiled,
she went to pick up a lot of fresh cabbage and came back to prepare for dinner.
Because
I had a good meal today, she only cooked a thin dish of porridge at night. The
rice used this time was an authentic rice. The porridge cooked out was so
fragrant that she couldn’t help but felt hungry. And she also had three meat
buns.
This
time, their mother had eaten real rice porridge after nearly a year. Although
there are dishes in the porridge, the dishes are fresh and taste good. And
Chou-Gu also gave her an authentic big meat buns.
Therefore,
this mother had eaten very well, and finally calmed her injured little heart.
The
younger brother did not even raise his head, and a porridge with a sip of
porridge would not fall. These two kinds of food are good things for
him. Even if the Wu hunter was in the past, he could not eat this
often. A little fine food at home is reserved for their mother.
Minger
and Chou-Gu each had a bowl of porridge, they didn't eat buns, they were still
full, and the half bowl of noodles was really porcelain. I haven't
digested it until now. If you don't smell the porridge, they can't eat it.
The
younger brother finished a buns, drank half a bowl of gruel, and reluctantly
looked at the remaining buns.
Chou-Gu
smiled and said : "Give
you a drink tomorrow, you can't eat it at night, and you have to eat a
stomachache."
"Okay."
The younger brother was relieved, and he put down the tableware.
Chou-Gu
shook his head and shook his head. This family is really deformed. It is to let
her mother live a good life and make a child like this. When she thought
about it, she became more and more dissatisfied with her Father,
Niang. Everyone else is Father, Niang is reluctant to eat and drink, not
hungry children, their family is back. She feels that this family should
not have children. It is time to let the couple love each other all day,
what are the children doing?
When
she thought of it, she couldn't help but ask her : "Who is this favorite at this home?"
Mother
is this virtue, she does not count on it. However, in her memory, Father
could not find any scene of fatherly love for her sister. At least, her
Father is not very good to her, her attitude is relatively cold, and she must
be better for her two sons.
However,
she can understand that after all, the ancients were awkward, and the daughter
was only a by-product of their sons. Even some poor people directly killed
their daughter. She is still so ugly, and it is not bad for her Father to
raise her. And her Father doesn't usually beat her children, nor will she
let her eat too much.
Such
a man is a good man in the eyes of the village. Everyone thinks that Wu Hunter
is a man who is extremely painful. But how did she feel awkward?
Minger
took a moment to say : "Father,
he likes it." He is not sure who he likes most. If he must choose the most
word, he thinks his father's favorite is his mother. Anyway, his mother is
like a ancestors in this family. Everyone has to have a tail in front of
her. In the past, he was in front of his mother, and the atmosphere did
not dare to come out.
Chou-Gu
pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered a few times. She understands
that not only is she dissatisfied with her mother, but she is also the
same. However, he will not resist, and there used to be Father. The life
of this family is really good, and the warmth of eating is good.
What
kind of requirements can you ask for a child of a few years
old? Especially in an environment where others can't eat and wear, the
life of their family is enough for other children to come to the end. For
example, Jiang Da-nu is very good for
Ming, so Ming Ming remembers it now.
She was too lazy to ask these broken
things, busy packing up the dishes, and quickly went to wash the kelp. The
kelp that has been soaked in the water has swollen into a large piece. At this
time, the kelp is pure natural, and the color is very good. It is very dirty.
She washes it several times before it is washed.
"Is
this delicious?" Ming asked curiously. He was the first to see kelp,
and it was amazing to see it change from a hay-like thing to a big one now.
“This
kelp is a grassy thing that grows in the sea. People pick it up and dry it for
a long time. The kelp stew is very delicious, and it is good for people to eat.
Very delicious. "Chou-Gu said casually.
"Can
the grass eat?" Minger exclaimed.
"Seaweed
can't be said to be grass, just that it looks like grass. There are a lot of
delicious things in the sea." Chou-Gu laughed. The modern ordinary
things of kelp have also become precious rarities here. She didn't even
know that Ning-Er would have new doubts about her because of kelp.
"What
is the sea like?" Ming asked curiously.
“The
sea is a very large piece of water, much larger than the big rivers and ponds
here. The sea is blue and salty. The salt we eat can be boiled out in sea
water. There are many in the sea. Things like kelp, like the grass and trees on
our ground, there are also many sea fish. Many are good things to eat,” Chou-Gu
said.
The
more she said, the more she missed the modern days. If you want to eat
something in modern times, as long as you have money, how can you think about
it? But here, there are silver coins that can't be done. Moreover,
they are still so poor, it is good to be able to have a full
stomach. Where can I think of grilled oysters and grilled squid. The
simplest laver soup can't be eaten. At first thought, her favorite seafood
was insulated from her, and she felt sad when she was eating.
Minger
also listened very much, and their mother could not help but hear her daughter
say these words. She no matter what, and knows that Chou-Gu did not
understand this knowledge before. What's more, they didn't eat seaweed
soup at all. And even she has never seen the sea, and the sea she knows is
only known from books.
In
the end, she can only attribute this to Ning-Er. She is like everyone else, and
she thinks that Chou-Gu is listening to Ning-Er.
After
all, Ning-Er is from the capital, and it is a gongzi Geer that everyone will
read. It is also common to understand these. She did not expect that Chou-Gu
was no longer the former Chou-Gu. And this ugly daughter, who she hates
the most, can't wait to be born, and the knowledge she knows is more than
everyone imagination.
Early
the next morning, Chou-Gu took a jar of kelp trotters soup and two meat buns
that were cooked last night, and then took a few dishes and went to work in the
fields.
As
for the two people at home, there are meat buns and stewed seaweed soup. It is
enough for them to eat for a day.
Because
they had to dig up the Sorghum seedlings, when their sisters came, the Ning
family had already done a lot of work, and Ning-Er had already cooked the
porridge on the simple earthen stove in Tiantou. Yesterday, he also bought
ten hoes, cooked a pot of thin porridge, and then dipped a Bun into the
porridge, you can eat very well.
"It's
so early." Chou-Gu greeted them.
"My
vegetable porridge is cooked right away, let's eat together." Ning-Er
quickly greeted her and Minger. He cooked enough porridge, and originally
had Chou-Gu and Minger's share.
Chou-Gu
also agreed, anyway, she brought a seaweed soup today, and she is also ready to
give it to her family. However, she took out the two meat buns and grilled
them directly to the fire. They said, "The two meat buns are served to the
pillars and the Master."
"You
eat it yourself, there are still a few ‘maidens on our side." Ning-Er
quickly resigned. He is very embarrassed to be cheaper in the Chou-Gu
home.
"Two meat buns, you push me and give
birth to me." Chou-Gu said deliberately angry.
Here,
five acres of land, three acres is Wu, Ning's only two acres, but do not live
yours, and everyone is doing it together. It is up to two people, Chou-Gu
and Minger. The three-acre land is exhausting them. Basically, the
physical strength is all done by the Ning family, and Chou-Gu himself feels
that it is cheaper for the Ning family.
Ning-Er
had no longer said, went to take the bowl, gave each person a bowl of gruel,
and asked her : "Taro,
do you want to eat directly in the porridge, or grill it?"
"I
want to roast and eat more deliciously." Chou-Gu said, took his Bun and
smashed it to the fire. The scalp is roasted to a yellowish brown, with a
burst of scent.
The
pillar had already smelled the scent of the barbecue buns in front of her. Now
I smell the scent of the steamed buns. I can still stand it, and I look up and
look at it again. I have no working mind.
Ning-Er
quickly called out : "The
pillar and Aye came to eat."
The
pillar ran over with a smile, and Chou-Gu rushed to the river to wash his
hands, only to give him the meat buns that had been put on and off.
The
pillar took the buns and bitten half of it in one bit. Grandpa refused to ask
for buns and insisted on eating steamed buns.
He
also said : "I
have eaten big meat noodles for dinner last night, and the meat has not been
ruined."
One
of the noodles brought back yesterday, he and the pillars were eaten. A
scorpion noodles, a little more than the bowl that Chou-Gu had eaten, and there
were several large pieces of meat, and he added some water and vegetables to
it, and cooked a large pot. With a Bun, he and the pillars were both full and
satisfied, very satisfied.
Ning-Er
came to the field last night, and put the hoes, noodles and meat brought back
here, let the pillars and grandsons eat them. He only went
back. Because he was too full, he saved even his dinner.
Aye
insisted on not eating buns. No way, Chou-Gu could only divide the meat buns
into four and a half. She and Minger, Ning-Er and the pillars, and four people
were eaten by a small piece.
Master
bit his Bun, his face is cheerful, and he is very satisfied. Ning-Er knows
that he doesn't want to eat buns, but it saves a little bit for
everyone. Therefore, this small half of the buns eats his mouth full of
taste, and his heart is very heavy. Ning-Er's expression naturally did not
escape the eyes of Chou-Gu. In fact, her heart is no better than Ning-Er. To
put it bluntly, it is all too poor. Otherwise, everyone will not push a
buns.
When
I was working, Ning-Er was still a little bit low. Chou-Gu had to persuade him : "Our Sorghum will definitely get a good harvest today. At
that time, we will not swear." Go for a white meal and eat a few good
ones."
Ning-Er
was teased by her words and said, "You think it is good. But this place is
not fat at all. It is not easy to have a good harvest."
"Fear
of something, let's get some more fat." Chou-Gu has a well-thought-out
look.
Ning-Er
saw that she was so confident that she immediately got up in the sunshine, and
felt that the days were full of hope and the work was more energetic. The
two were like a plug, and they didn't stop for a moment. The direct Master
greeted : "It's
time to rest, you can cook and eat."
Chou-Gu
stopped the work in his hands and said to Ning-Er : "You cook a pot of dry rice directly. I
brought the seaweed soup. I will burn a green vegetable later."
Ning-Er
nodded and went to the fire.
Chou-Gu
put the soup pot that he brought directly on the stove, and went to wash the
vegetables with the pillars of Minger. Ning-Er was busy with a pot of dry rice,
then burned another casserole and boiled a pot of boiling water and asked her : "How hot is the dish?"
"I
am coming, you are learning." Chou-Gu smiled and threw the washed cabbage
directly into the boiling water, then added a little salt to it, and it was
finished. “Just eat it?” Ning-Er asked with surprise. This little
cabbage was also made too simple. A large pot of water dipped in a large dish,
and it was completely boiled in a pot. Even the oil did not have a drop. He did
not believe it would be delicious.
"Well."
Chou-Gu nodded. Although this dish was too simple, it took a dish with soup and
even the tea. Anyway, there are trotters and seaweed soup, which is enough
hard water, and boiled cabbage will not be rejected.
Sure enough,
after drinking a bowl of thick trotters and seaweed soup, everyone did not
think that the vegetable soup was unpalatable. The trotters have been
stewed, the oil is very full, and it is a rare treat to drink.
After
a long time, I drank the seaweed soup again. Master couldn’t believe it. I
asked, “Chou-Gu will also make seaweed soup. This soup tastes really good.”
"What's
so difficult, the stew is the easiest. Just add water and cook it." Chou-Gu
said no.
In
her opinion, the two methods of frying and frying are the most troublesome.
Stew soup, stewed vegetables, steamed vegetables, etc. are very simple. As long
as the materials are prepared first, the soup is directly stewed, the brine is
directly cooked, and the steamed vegetables are directly On the
steamer. It saves time and effort, and doesn't need to keep an eye on the
pot all the time. It's not like frying and frying, it's not a fire, it won't
work.
Master
Wan, said : "Chou-Gu
said it is simple, but it is not easy to stew a good soup. Today, this seaweed
soup is very tasty. The pig's trotters are stewed and delicious. ”
Chou-Gu
smiled and she felt that this seaweed soup was really good. If in modern
times she might not be able to drink so much soup, it would be too
greasy. But here, the soup is drunk, and she feels that the intestines are
moisturized. It can be seen that it is still because the life is too bad,
the body actually lacks oil and water. Although the pheasant wild rabbits
are not eaten, it is not eaten every day, and it is never enough.
Minger
and the pillars did not raise their heads, but they just wanted to bury their
heads in the bowl. The two chewed on the kelp and drank the soup.
"Sister,
I didn't expect the grass in the sea to be really delicious." Minger
sighed and sighed while eating and drinking.
"The
grass in the sea?" Ning-Er read this sentence and could not help but
laugh.
"My
sister also said that there are many such grasses in the sea, and there are
still many fish. The sea is blue, salty, and salty." Minger said proudly.
"Well,
yes, yes." Ning-Er smiled, but couldn't help but watch Chou-Gu eyes. Chou-Gu
said these words, let him have a kind of Chou-Gu, I have seen the sea, I also
know people from the sea. It is as if she is a person living by the
sea. And he knows that this knowledge is still obtained from books.
Chou-Gu
is quite big, and she also thinks that Ning-Er is just a teenager, and she
doesn't have much doubt about her. Therefore, she doesn't care too much about
Ning-Er. She just aimed at the Master and missed the doubts that Ning-Er
had flashed in her eyes. The Master is already full, just got up and ready
to go to the river to wash his face, and he did not hear
clearly. Therefore, she did not stop her words.
Pillar
ate one of the three bowls of kelp
trotters soup, and ate two bowls of rice. When everyone didn't eat it, he
rounded up the rest of the food. He only took a big smile on his face and took
a shot. Belly, said : "Full.
Delicious."
"Well,
you go to the break. At night we stewed the meat." Ning-Er
laughed. The pillar is the main labor force. Everyone takes extra care of
him. Make sure he eats well. If he is tired, the life in the field will
not work.
Minger,
Chou-Gu and Ning-Er add up, but they can't beat a pillar. Chou-Gu
sometimes thinks that if there are no pillars, they will be saddened by these
two days. When she thinks this way, she will feel that her life is not too
bad. There is not so much dissatisfaction and complaint in her heart.
Pillar
cheered and quickly plunged into his own
shop and ‘Called and fell asleep. Everyone followed them for a while, and
soon they were put into intense work.
After
another few days of operation, all the Sorghum seedlings were planted, and all the five acres
of land were planted. Only about one acre of land was left directly
planted, and there was no time to turn over the ground. After planting the
seedlings, it is obvious that the big iron scorpion cannot be used to complete
the field. Therefore, everyone can only go back to the beginning, while
digging the ground, while slowly shovel the large mud pieces that have been dug
into small pieces, you must also pay attention not to hurt the seedlings that
have just been planted. As a result, it took a total of five days for this
acre to be completed.
At
this time, the earliest batch of Sorghum seedlings had been fully alive.
At
this time, all the villagers were busy with the spring ploughing, and the free
moon was gone, everyone was busy. Chou-Gu looked at the seedlings that had
survived, decided to rest for two days, and then went to the mountains to
hunt. Although her mother gave ten Silver Taels, she can temporarily do
not need to hunt to make money, but Ning Jia is a must. And she also
intends to pick up the silver at the head and leave it to the school for
school. Can earn now or try to earn more.
"Well,
it is time to rest for a few days, everyone is tired." Ning-Er agreed.
During
this time, everyone was exhausted. After returning home, Ning-Er had a rest for
two days. He almost slept and slept, and didn't want to move. However, on
the third day, he went to the pillars to find Chou-Gu and went hunting in the
mountains.
This
time Chou-Gu brought some spices, a piece of bacon and a little cooking oil.
She planned to eat fish and had not had fish soup for a while. Eating meat
every day is like eating fish. She didn't dare to buy oil before. The
animal fried fish still couldn't. The fish fried by the plants would be
fragrant and not sticky. This time, I bought a few pounds of oil.
"Let's
get more things this time, and change some money. Now it's busy, not too much
time to go into the mountains." Chou-Gu said.
"Well,
I have to get more, and I have to bring some firewood back. By the end of the
day, we have to start fertilizing in the ground. We are busy." Ning-Er
also said.
There
was no change in the cottage this time, but the little cabbage grown in front
of the house grew up. The onion sprouts grow even better.
"This
is good. We will have fresh vegetables to eat in the future." Ning-Er
laughed. He didn't expect to grow some of it casually, and he could grow
so well. It can be seen that this piece of land is very fat and very
suitable for growing vegetables. Unfortunately, it is too far from the
village, they can not come here to farmland.
"I
brought some seeds this time. Eggplant, pumpkin, cucumber, and pepper are all
there. I will come back and say that I can't eat anything." Chou-Gu
laughed. She has a lot of dishes left, so I can fill it up with a little
bit of it.
"Okay,
let me plant." Ning-Er is very happy, like a child, taking over the
vegetables and holding the shovel to work at the door. Minger and the
pillars went hunting, and Chou-Gu went fishing to prepare dinner.
Ning-Er
digging the ground soil, planting the vegetables, and going to the pond to
raise water, seeing Chou-Gu still collecting the fish, and quickly came to help.
Chou-Gu
simply threw the fish to him, and he was looking for wild vegetables. At
this time, the wild vegetables have grown up. Usually she has no time to look
for it. Along the stream, she cut a large fresh wild celery and returned.
“What
is this dish?” Ning-Er asked curiously.
"Wild
celery. It will be more in a few days, like to grow on the water. It is
delicious to use fried meat," Chou-Gu explained. The temperature on
the mountain side is still lower, and the wild vegetables are not growing
vigorously.
She
deliberately brought a piece of bacon, which is to prepare wild celery. She
used to like this dish when she was at home. Every spring, I will eat a
lot. And in modern times, this wild celery has become domesticated,
because there are more people who like to eat, and it is not enough to meet the
needs of the market by cutting the wild. Where is the taste of the wild
celery that is pure and pollution-free?
Not
much longer, the pillars and Minger ran back with laughter.
"Sister,
sister, we have gotten a lot of eggs. We also got three pheasants." Minger
‘called far away.
"Oh,
that's great, this time I really got to the egg. Let's have a good meal this
evening." Chou-Gu laughed.
"Okay,
okay. I also enjoy the good fortune." Ning-Er laughed.
The
pheasants are all alive, so they don't eat them. They are tied up directly and
thrown into the scorpion and brought back to sell.
Dinner
Chou-Gu cooked a large pot of fish soup, got a wild celery fried bacon, she
brought a lot of meat, more than half a catty, wild celery, and a large
pot. Two dishes, one pot of dry rice to eat four people.
After
dinner, Ning-Er took the pillars and Minger to find the wild rabbits. Chou-Gu
washed and brushed at home, cleaned the pots, boiled the water, made the beds
and so on. She helped Ning-Er and the pillars to make the floor first.
After
a while, the wild rabbits got more, Ning-Er did not take long to get ten wild
rabbits, and the three people came back happily.
"Go
to bed early, we will get up early tomorrow." Chou-Gu quickly greeted
everyone after washing and sleeping.
The
next morning, everyone got up. Chou-Gu and Ning-Er were busy with chopping
wood, and by the way they cut two wild celery. When Ming and the pillars
came back with a bunch of pheasants, they returned.
The
harvest was quite fruitful, and the pheasant wild rabbits got a lot of money.
They also licked a few nests of mountain eggs, and everyone was very satisfied.
“Go to
the market to buy prey tomorrow, you should be able to pick some peppers.” Chou-Gu
told Ning-Er. She estimated that peppers should be pickable these days,
and she found that peppers are already blooming a few days ago.
"Okay."
Ning-Er nodded, and wanted to go back and see how much the peppers in his
garden were knotted. At this time, the pepper trees of other people homes
grow so little, they can sell peppers, they can sell a good price, and they are
all excited.
The
next day, Chou-Gu got up early, took three pounds of peppers in the vegetable
garden, and cut a few leeks and prey to sell. The earliest peppers she
planted have all been fruitful, but most of the peppers are still very small,
and some even have just finished results. This time she picked up a lot of
picks, not many. But in another three or five days, you can pick it up
once.
In
the next month, eggplant, cucumber and other things can also be listed. This time,
she can rely on this vegetable field to make a small profit. And she is
already breeding the second batch of pepper eggplant and other things, and
picking up the batch early. The second batch is the one with the highest
output, but she does not intend to sell it because she can't afford the
price. These dishes are intended to be left to their own homes, as well as
simmered chili sauce, pickled sour bean cucumber, dried dried beans, dried
eggplant and dried pumpkin.
Although
the villagers knew that she had the earliest vegetables, she was surprised to
see her holding the peppers.
Everyone
around her, they said : "Hey,
Chou-Gu, the peppers you grow are so big, you can sell them."
"Yeah.
I planted it early." Chou-Gu smiled.
"Hey,
this pepper is really tender."
"Yeah,
it can be a big price. The seedlings of our family are only one inch
long." Someone said.
"Oh,
that's it, it can be worth a few dollars." Chou-Gu laughed, raised the
whip and drove the donkey away.
She
knew that others would stop her, so she did not hide the three pheasants and
two wild rabbits, and some of the peppers, garlic and garlic were very
generous. She just wants everyone to know that she can earn a lot of money
when she goes to sell something. It’s too hidden, it’s not going to
work. She intends to be a little higher than last year from now on,
otherwise she will go to school in the future, which is not good for explaining
the way of money.
She
has set a plan for herself, hunting for a three or four in January, earning two
or three hundred dollars, and earning three or five hundred dollars, plus
selling vegetables and working odd jobs. One year, she has to Let everyone know
that she can also earn more than two or two points of money. This number
is more acceptable to her and everyone.
Because
most of the money she earns is to buy food, everyone habits are clear, and they
are not at all awkward. Her mother is still a good person who only wants
to eat and eat, so the money that Chou-Gu earns has to spend more than
half. There may even be no money at all.
So in
the eyes of everyone, she will have a few hundred dollars left in a year, less
than half of the money. Although it is enough to envy everyone, it does
not make everyone want to make a big idea.
And
now everyone understands the way to earn money. Others can learn to grow
vegetables as well. For example, last winter, every household sold a lot of
cabbage radishes and earned money. Today, everyone will only grow more
vegetables. Thinking about making more money. Even in normal times, you
can sell some small fish. In the early winter of autumn, you can also pick wild
oranges and sell some firewood. So many kinds of silver can be earned one or
two and a half years later. A small amount can also earn two or three
hundred dollars.
Nowadays,
most of the villagers are more savvy. They don’t know that they only know how
to be sour, and they want to grab it. Because they are not idiots, they
can be seen from the changes in the family of kittens. If you have a good
relationship with Chou-Gu, you can get some benefits from her. So the
situation of the Chou-Gu family is slowly changing.
But
Chou-Gu actually does not only earn so little, she can earn three to four
Silver Taels in a year. In addition, she still has three acres of land,
and the food she eats does not need to buy too much, so one year, according to
the plan, she plans to save at least three Silver Taels. She didn't want
too much. For the time being, she didn't have such a big ambition, and she was
afraid to earn too much and couldn't help it.
The
three-acre field in her home is still the name of Ningjia. She did not
dare to let the villagers know that she still has money to buy the
fields. This topic is too sensitive. Here, Tian is the biggest home.
The
younger brothers rushed to the road and went to the crossing and the Ning-Er
pillar.
"Hey,
wait a long time?" Chou-Gu, who was far away, saw the pillar and Ning-Er,
and quickly said hello.
"You
picked a lot of peppers, it's a bit late today," Ning-Er said. He and
the pillar have been waiting for more than a moment.
"Where
is it, only two or three pounds. It’s just being pulled by people in the
village and talking for a while." Chou-Gu answered.
"What's
the matter, they won't have any thoughts yet?" Ning-Er worried.
"No.
I just want to see my peppers." Chou-Gu smiled. Most of the prey was
in the hands of Ning-Er, and she also brought three pheasants and two wild
rabbits, which would not make everyone eyes unbearable.
Ning-Er
breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have picked more peppers than you,
almost five pounds." He said, he asked Chou-Gu to see his family's
peppers.
"Not
bad. Your home pepper is better than my cooking." Chou-Gu surprised and
praised. She didn't expect Ning's peppers to be more than her family's,
and the Ning-Er's peppers grew a little bigger than her family.
"That
is, you don't want to think that our family has three serious labors. You are
alone in your family. Can you come over?" Ning-Er said pitifully.
Although
Chou-Gu has more people than their family, there are two people who only eat
and do not work. Although there is still a Minger who can help, but it is
limited, it’s all right. Chou-Gu A child is supporting. This is also more
than one Daren that Chou-Gu can do, or the family should have starved to
death. Where can I compare with others?
And
they are rather homeless, Master is a leisurely, and the body is still very
healthy, busy at home all day long, especially when there is no farm work in
the past, he can treat these dishes as a darling. Careful care, the
natural harvest of the dishes is even better. Moreover, the land of his
vegetable garden is more fatter than the Chou-Gu home, and of course the output
will be more abundant.
"You
said so. And your home garden is big, you can grow more next year." Chou-Gu
laughed. She has now deeply felt the fact that her family has less labor,
because she is busy every day, and she is not free at all.
"Well.
I think so too." Ning-Er nodded and echoed.
"This
time I sold something. You catch a dozen chickens or ducklings in the village
to raise them. After eating eggs, you will not be able to eat them. You can
also kill chickens and eat meat." Chou-Gu reminded Ning Er, it's a good
time to catch chickens and ducklings.
The
five chickens in her family have now begun to lay eggs, and the four mothers
and one male are just right. Because of the meticulous care, I can get
four eggs a day from now on, just enough for one family to eat one. She is
a white water egg that is cooked directly at breakfast. One person takes a
peeled shell and eats it for everyone. Eggs are good things, the best nutrients
for poor people.
"Well,
I know. I actually want to raise two more pigs." Ning-Er added.
It’s
just farming, obviously not enough to feed their family. He definitely wants to
make more money. In addition to hunting and growing vegetables, there are
only a few more poultry. Because pigs can be pulled out and sold, they can
also kill their own home. After all, wild animals are not so tender than
domestic pork, so oily. Even if you just leave the pig oil, you can take
out a big pot. If you eat oil, you can save a lot of money for their family.
How
many of their families still have some aristocratic habits, even if they are
green vegetables, they must have a bit of oil and water, so they eat more oil
than their Chou-Gu family. In addition, there is a big belly in his house.
If you don't touch the oil, the pillar will eat a big pot of rice, and you will
be hungry.
The
most important thing is that in the winter, they can't go hunting in the
mountains. Selling their own domestic pigs is also a big
investment. Another point is fertilizer, which produces more fertilizer
than a small group of chickens and ducks. Crops do not fertilize, nor can
they grow much better. Especially the Sorghum they planted, Chou-Gu has already said, have to
find a way to get some fat, the land is too fat.
In
combination with these situations, Ning-Er wanted to go and decided to raise a
few pigs.
"Also.
As long as you have the energy to raise." Chou-Gu nodded and said.
"You
don't raise pigs?" Ning-Er asked.
"Do
not raise." Chou-Gu simply answered, raising pigs is very
energy-consuming, you have to cut the pig grass every day, three times a day to
feed, a pig's meal is not small. Don't let the pigs eat well, where will
it grow meat?
Moreover,
she does not intend to raise too many poultry. Because she has no energy, she
relies on her alone. She really can't do too much work. Now she has the kind of
burden she will have to die. She only plans to catch a few ducklings to
raise it. Anyway, there are water sources nearby, and there are many small fish
and shrimps. It is easier to raise ducks. Can be handed over to
Minger and the younger brother, basically do not have to worry about
her. The duck lay down the egg, not only can you eat it yourself, but you
can also sell it and change it for a change. It is also a small entry for the
family.
“Are
you afraid that you don’t have time to cut the ragweed?” Ning-Er quickly asked,
he hoped that Chou-Gu would raise pigs and more. And you can get a lot of
fertilizer.
"Really,
no one in our family can take care of the pigs. It is annoying to cut the
pigweed, and it has to be cleaned every day, and it will be washed out,
otherwise it will have a great taste." Chou-Gu said frankly. .
“Why
should I clean the pigsty?” Ning-Er asked. He saw the farmers who raised pigs,
but no one was so particular. The pigsty is very dirty, and I smell a
stink when I am far away.
"It's
dirty and smelly, can you stand it? And the pigsty is kept clean and the pigs
are not easy to get sick." Chou-Gu quickly answered.
In
the village where her old family used to go, most of the young Darens came out
to work, and there were very few people in the village. Some households
took the opportunity to set up a pig farm, raised a lot of pigs, and then all
the people in a village moved away.
The
family had to wash the pigsty every day, the pigsty was clean, and the pig was
white and not dirty at all. They only looked at their own pigs and rushed
the dirt into an adjacent pond.
Later,
the good pond became a huge septic tank, stinking, full of flies and
mosquitoes, smelling a few miles away. Then she never went back to the
country.
"As
you said, you have to rinse the pigsty every day. It really takes a lot of
time, and you have to feed three times a day. You are really busy."
Ning-Er nodded and said.
"So,
I don't want to raise pigs." Chou-Gu laughed.
Ning-Er
nodded, no longer persuaded her, even if he can help cut the pig grass, it is
impossible to come over to help Chou-Gu wash the pigsty every day.
However,
Chou-Gu words can give him a wake up. After returning, he and the Master
Pillars made a good pigsty, and dug a ditch that drained the dirt, far away
from the house outside the pigsty. The place has established a septic tank,
which can just store the pig's urine as fertilizer.
Chou-Gu
and Ning-Er did not expect that such an unintentional move actually triggered a
pig revolution.
Selling
prey, Ning-Er really let the Master go to the village to catch ten chickens and
ten ducklings, and went to another village to catch three piglets.
The
Master heard that he had ordered such a pile, but some could not believe it. He
asked, "Would you like so much? Have we got it? Is the piglet going to
three?"
"Yes,
I want to raise more points, and my family is better. I won't learn
slowly." Ning-Er answered.
In
the words of Chou-Gu, raising chickens and raising ducks is very simple. It is
to raise pigs to cut pigweed. Chou-Gu also said that there is no need to worry.
The forest is surrounded by wild grass and wild vegetables that pigs can
eat. If you are not good enough, you can go to the river to get some water
to feed the pigs. Otherwise, he did not dare to raise so much at
once. And Chou-Gu also said that raising pigs can not only raise one head,
but also raise a few more heads. Pigs will grow better and fatter because they
eat.
Master
sighed and wanted to say nothing and finally said nothing, but the eyes were
red. If it is not too much money, Ning-Er will not make such a
decision. If you raise so many chickens, ducks and pigs, don't think about
how much free time you will have in the future.
Ning-Er
understands what he means and says, "You don't think too much. I am not a
gongzi Geer now. It is not a shame to go out and cut the pigs. It is not a
shame to put the ducks."
Master
barely smiled and said : "I
don't mean this." That is to say, tears are about to fall. When he
thought of his family's fascinating Young Master, he would have to eat ducks
and pigs every day.
Ning-Er
quickly transferred the topic and said, "We have raised our chickens and ducks,
and we will not eat any eggs in the future. If you can't finish the meal, you
can take it out and exchange some money, and the pigs will be raised. I can
give pork to the Chou-Gu family. She has too few people to work, she said she
doesn't raise pigs."
"Oh.
It's hard for Chou-Gu, how big is the child. Everything has to be
thoughtful." Master exclaimed.
"So,
comparing Chou-Gu, I have lived a lot better than her. Later, you don't want to
think about it. I feel that my life is too much. I am now an ordinary person.
Not bad. We have worked hard for a few years, save more money, and buy two
acres of land later, the days will be better." Ning-Er laughed.
Master
took a moment and said it was not good to say : "Yes, yes. The days will be better."
The
next day, the Master really got the chicks and ducklets back together, and the
family of three took care of them like a baby. The piglet is only full of
months, small, it seems that you can not eat wild vegetables directly, Ning-Er
also specifically asked Chou-Gu : "So
small pig, what to feed for it?"
Chou-Gu
carefully looked through the memory and said : "Boil the porridge and feed it. The rice
is not washed, and the food can be old."
She
remembered that Madam also raised pigs when she was a child. They all boiled
pig food to feed pigs, especially piglets. After the pigs were big, they began
to eat rice bran mixed with wild vegetables, sweet potato vines and so
on. Sometimes, the cooked food is fed to the pigs, and the meals that are
not enough at home are also used to feed the pigs. The pigs raised in this
way are fat. Some pigs in the village are raised in pigs. All the pigs eat
raw food. What do you feed at home? The pigs eat rice bran all year round, wild
vegetables and grasses, and they are not at all concerned. Such pigs are better
than their homes. The pigs are not a small circle.
"Sister,
is the piglet eating the same as the person?" Ming asked curiously.
"Oh,
you can't say that, but the piglets are still too small. It's not good to feed
them with vegetables. It's not good. When you grow up, you don't need to eat so
fine. Wild vegetables, we don't eat old dishes. Leaves and so on can be used to
feed the pigs." Chou-Gu laughed.
She
is also afraid that the three piglets that Ning-Er has just caught will not
grow up because of malnutrition. If you are dead, you can lose money.
Piglets are not cheap.
"Oh,
I got three ancestors back, I have to cook porridge for them. How long do you
want to feed?" Ning-Er said with a smile. Fortunately, the three
piglets have a small amount of food. If they are bigger, they should eat
porridge and he can afford it.
"Probably
first raise this for a month, then slowly add vegetables to them to eat. It is
definitely impossible to feed porridge every day, but now the piglets in the
full moon have just broken their milk, or they have to feed them some good
food." Chou -Gu said.
Ning-Er
is very curious that Chou-Gu has not raised pigs at all, but has such a rich
experience in raising pigs. However, it may be accustomed to Chou-Gu know
everything, he is still quite convinced Chou-Gu, listened to her words, and
hurried home again.
"Sister,
how can we not raise pigs in our family?" Minger asked some
envy. Chou-Gu caught ten ducklings back, and even the chicks did not catch
them.
"Our
family can't raise it. It's not bad to raise some ducklings. After the ducks
lay down eggs, I will make some salted eggs for you to eat," Chou-Gu said.
"Salty eggs? Is it delicious?"
Minger asked quickly.
"Well,
it's delicious." Chou-Gu laughed. It is extremely simple to make
salted duck eggs. She used to eat salted duck eggs to eat gruel, but the salted
duck eggs that she bought were not too salty or too light, which forced her to
do it herself. After two trials, she could pickle a hand. A good salted duck
egg.
In a
few days, Ning-Er sighed. "I didn't expect that the family just added some
chickens, ducks and piglets. Everyone was very busy, and the family seemed to
increase popularity."
His
house is big, a total of three people, and far from the village, usually
quiet. But now, the sound of chickens, ducks and pigs every day can make
the whole house active. Let him have a strange feeling.
However,
the Ning family loves to be clean, and the chicken ducklings cannot come to the
front of the house. The Master shuts them behind and goes straight out
from the back door. Just behind his house there was a small river ditch,
and the chickens were playing in the grass along the river ditch. The
ducklings are having fun in the ditch, which is very
convenient. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is the
piglet, which takes a lot of time.
"Of
course, there are many live animals in the family, and they all seem to be
prosperous. Wait until the chickens and ducks grow up, it is called excitement.
And the pigs are most hungry and will be called out loud." Chou-Gu
laughed.
She
remembered when she was a child, the family kept pigs, cattle, ducks, and
people raising geese and raising sheep. As soon as the morning, the big
cocks of every household began to crow. Not long after, the industrious
housewives got up, and they all carried the baskets to the river to wash their
clothes, or washed vegetables and began to prepare for breakfast.
Then,
the men also got up. Someone was going to put the Cattle. Some people went to
the sheep, and some people went to work under the Bun. Not much longer,
the children also got up, and every household also smoked, and the whole
village became active.
However,
I don’t know when the villagers are no longer feeding chickens and raising
pigs. The family has to buy eggs on the market. So, what kind of eggs, the
soil pork has become popular. However, I thought that what I was eating
now was the authentic earth eggs, the soil pork, Chou-Gu was dumbfounded.
"I
am afraid it is more noisy." Ning-Er laughed. When I think of a dozen
chickens and a dozen ducks in my family, and three small piglets, he feels more
energetic. In the future, there will be eggs that can't be eaten at home.
You don't have to buy money if you want to eat an egg now. The most
important thing is that the three piglets have grown up and can be returned for
a few Silver Taels.
"This
is noisy. You haven't seen three or five children at home. It's noisy when you
cry." Chou-Gu laughed.
Chickens
and ducks are just a little bit of a random moment, and the pigs are fed and
will not be called. Children can be different, and they will make trouble
from time to time. Especially for the poor, you eat two more. He has
nothing to take, he has to cry, the Darens are annoyed, and he gets a slap in
the palm of his hand, so from time to time, some people play the dog and the
dog jumps. The child cries the trio.
"There
are a lot of children at home, it’s so lively. What are the children
crying?" Ning-Er did not agree. He does not hate children crying, of
course, the premise is that children are not unreasonable, they are crying, and
children who are not good. In the past, he still had a little sister.
"Yes.
Which child is not crying. Cry and cry is more lively." Master is very
much in favor of Ning-Er.
Chou-Gu
listened secretly and funnyly. I didn't expect Ning-Er to be like a
fire-breathing person. He really liked children. However, she also
understands that ancient people like to have many children. But she is
used to the situation of modern people only child, but she has forgotten the
environment she is in now.
Several
people talked and laughed, and when they got up, they felt that time passed
faster.
After
a few days, Chou-Gu began to fertilize the Ning family to the high-lying land.
To be honest, she had no good fertilizer except for her own toilet and the dung
of the donkey. The two families used the animals to pull a few manures
into the ground. After adding water to dilute them, they fertilized the Sorghum
seedlings one by one.
Ning-Er
was doing this for the first time. Chou-Gu was afraid that he would be
uncomfortable. After all, it was stinky and dirty. When I thought that he
was just frowning, he did it without a word. Everyone carried a small
bucket, and after playing a bucket of fertilizer, they took a small ladle and
poured it.
Everyone
is the same, even Minger does not fall, but he has less fertilizer.
However,
the two populations are not many, and they have not had time to raise more
poultry. The accumulated fertilizer is certainly not enough for five acres of
land. In fact, it is not because both of them have big animals, let alone
pouring half of the land, that is, an acre of land is afraid that it will not
be poured.
Sure
enough, when the work is done, it will only give half of the field.
"What should I do?" Ning-Er
asked Chou-Gu.
“Try
it again with some ash,” Chou-Gu said. She has no choice but to watch the
other seedlings not fertilize. Anyway, the ash can also be used as a
fertilizer, but the effect is definitely not as good as manure. It is
better to use grass ash than to completely.
"She,
it can only be like this." Ning-Er is even more difficult. He did not
understand farming, and he had not paid attention to this book before. Now
he wants to go back and find two books about farming.
Although
there are enough plants and ash, in order to have a good harvest, Chou-Gu wants
to go and decide to use some green fertilizer to slowly improve the soil of the
land. It is impossible to buy fertilizer here, and I can only slowly find
a solution. Otherwise, this Sorghum will be like the original owner, and it is
impossible to have a good harvest.
Some
time she fell in love with planting flowers on the balcony, but there was no
good soil in the place where she lived. The mud she had dug back from the
flower beds in the community and the flower beds outside was all sandwiched
with construction slag. It was put up in a few days and was not fat at
all. The flowers that come in are also good, the dishes are good, and they
are dry in a few days, and they are dying. To this end, she tried Taomi
water, tea water, egg shells, food, etc., but it did not have much effect.
To
this end, she found a large amount of information, knowing some methods used by
ancient people to lick green fertilizer. These green fertilizers are pure
organic fertilizers. Although they are not as effective as modern fertilizers
such as urea and fertilizers, they are very helpful for improving the soil, and
the effect is slower. And there are no side effects.
Therefore,
she intends to get some grass and other things, and then mix the pig manure and
other piles in the small pool, add water, and then dig some of the fat mud in
the river ditch, sealed on it. Let them smash and ferment in the pool and
turn into fertilizer.
Or
mix the grass leaves and other things with the fine soil, manure, and other
things. After stacking, put a layer of thin mud and seal them, let them ferment
and rot into fertilizer. Either way, it takes a long time, one or two
months, or even a break in the middle and then shredded.
She
told Ning-Er to listen to it. Ning-Er said with surprise and excitement : "Great, you know so much." He is
also suffering from a headache.
Chou-Gu
took a moment and quickly found a reason, saying : "I also listened to the villagers."
Although
the villagers do indeed fertilize the crops, the specific method of composting
varies from person to person. Where does she know how others got it, and she
has never seen it before. Just Ning-Er, Master or Master, neither of them
understands this. See Chou-Gu head is the road, and then combine with the usual
Chou-Gu to do something, I thought she really understands Naturally, she is
listening to her.
Instead,
Chou-Gu himself said : "In
fact, I just know that I have to do this. I really haven’t moved, I don’t know
if I can’t succeed.”
"Nothing,
slowly explore it. Not afraid." Ning-Er quickly comforted
her. Anyway, he now understands that as long as Chou-Gu can say it, she
will not be able to do it.
Therefore,
they dug two pits in the field, and at the same time they began to collect
materials to build houses.
The
busy days have been exceptionally fast, and the time has come to the end of
April. Everyone is not willing to relax by fertilizing water and weeding, and
most of the time is busy in the field. Hard work pays off, and the Sorghum
of Ning-Er and Chou-Gu family has grown
to more than two feet tall. It is much more beautiful than the stilts of
other places.
However,
very few people in this land will come here, and they have not attracted
everyone attention. Not even a few people knew that they bought the
land. People who know are not concerned. Anyway, the famous thin
field, but also remote, really nothing, no one is rare.
No
one bothered, and a few people are more comfortable working here. I want
to know how to get it, and I am not afraid of others talking about
it. Chou-Gu also hopes that no one knows, she just tried the book knowledge
in her mind to see if she can increase the output.
When
they set up a room with about twenty square feet, they also went to the day
when the spring flowers were married.
At
this time, all the crops were planted, and the work in the fields was done very
well. The weather is starting to heat up, just in time. The villagers
also have time to help. After all, it’s a village. If you do anything,
everyone will come to help and send some happy money.
Every
household is giving money to the Jiang family. Chou-Gu lets Minger quietly go
to the kitten and asks directly : "What
gift did your family send? Have others sent multiple gifts?"
She
simply doesn't understand these people feelings. I don't know how much I should
pay for it. If the Jiang family is still so close to the Wu family, it
doesn't matter if the ceremony is heavy, but now she only wants to be the most
common neighbor of the Jiang family. This ceremony is about the same as
everyone. No more, no bad.
The
kitten was like a bag to inquire. She told her very well : "My family sent ten dollars. Most of the
other people are also ten eight-dollar gifts, and that each family will send
some rice dishes. And the village chief sent a piece of cloth."
“Why
are you sending rice?” Chou-Gu asked, she knew very well that she could
understand the money. She could understand why she would send food in the past.
"Doing
a happy event, there are more people coming to eat, afraid that the main family
is not enough food." The kitten said that he did not agree.
In
this year, every household is poor. No family has enough food to accommodate a
large number of relatives and friends. If you are poor, you can't do happy
things and don't eat for relatives and friends. But there are more people,
and eating is not a bit more. It takes a few pounds of food for a
meal. Therefore, everyone will take a little food and vegetables in the
past, the conditions are good, and the close-knit people still have to take
some of the past, such as chicken, duck and fish, to help the main family to
support the face.
In
short, a person in the same village will lend a helping hand. Only in this
way, the next time you work in your home, others can help you this
way. Chou-Gu didn’t know at all that when her father did something, the
villagers came to take the money and get the food. However, after the
completion of the incident, Jiang Madam did not mention this.
She
now thinks about it. There may be very few people who come to pick up the money
at the time. And because there is not much food in her family, things go
out of the way, and the people who handle the matter take the money on the spot
to buy some things that are needed for food or funeral. In short, she had
no memory at all, and she did not leave anything afterwards.
But
since there is this custom in the local, she has to abide by it. So, Chou-Gu
took ten dollars to seal it, and took two pheasants and two pounds of brown
rice to send Minger to Jiang's house. The kitten accompanied the Minger.
“Hey,
what did the Chou-Gu home send?”
The
arrival of Minger will naturally make everyone talk. After all, it is not
good to say that the two previous relationships, plus Chou-Gu is not earning
much now. Jiang Chunhua is also very good for her, so there are many people who
watch the lively.
Jiang,
who has been busy, has widened her ears. She wants to know what Minger has sent
for the first time. She is still looking forward to Chou-Gu to add some makeup
to Chunhua.
Minger
sent gifts and hi money, and did not say anything. He was the first to
deal with this kind of thing, although it was superficially superficial, but it
was only a child. If there were any kittens on the side, I was afraid that
it would be more tense. When everyone was joking, he still had a red face.
"Two
pheasants have two pounds of food, ten dollars." The person who
specializes in collecting things ‘Calls loudly.
The
ceremony is not heavy, it is light. It is said that the two pheasants are
worth fifty or sixty dollars. Gifts from other people generally do not
exceed ten dollars. But let's say it is light, it can be counted. After
all, when Jiang Chunhua ordered a relative, Wu Hunter had sent a bright cloth
that could be used as a wedding dress. The cloth was worth at least one hundred
yuan. That is to say, the Jiang family does not have to prepare a wedding dress
for Jiang Chunhua. This piece of cloth can sew a beautiful new wedding dress
for Jiang Chunhua. But in the dark, he must have sent something
else. Everyone knows it well.
The
most important thing is that Wu Hunter said at the time of everyone, Chunhua is
like his daughter, meaning that he will prepare a dowry for Jiang Chunhua.
Since he opened this mouth, he will definitely be prepared. Therefore,
there are still many people waiting to see this dowry, although Wu Hunter is no
longer there.
However,
Chou-Gu only let Minger send ten dollars, and everyone is similar, the meaning
is very clear, and the two families will only walk as ordinary neighbors in the
future. The two pheasants are all ignored, although their value is much
higher than ten dollars.
But
in the eyes of everyone, the pheasant Chou-Gu is more, and the pheasant is
coming over, just to make the banquet look a little better. After all, to
have a happy event to entertain friends and family, or to get two more
dishes. With Jiang Madam temper, where she will feast her guests, it must
be awkward and fooling the past.
There
are few people who have such an idea, so someone from the village who has a
close relationship with Jiang has also sent a chicken. Some people have
sent some eggs over. In short, everyone is trying their best to help the
Jiang family finish this happy event. Do not let the outsiders see jokes.
"Don't
add something to Chunhua?" Someone said gossip.
"The
second lieutenant said, Chou-Gu has a child to raise a home, where there is a
skill to add dowry to Chunhua." Someone interrupted her and quickly spoke
for Chou-Gu.
"But
the Wu hunter said that she would give the dowry to Chunhua. You don't want to
think about what dowry she can make for her, and wait for the man to carry the
dowry. If there is nothing, what would people say?" Someone said
anxiously.
She
has already seen what the dowry that Jiang Madam took to Jiang Chunhua. It
was a dilapidated wooden box, or a dowry when Chunhuani was married. Jiang Madam
didn't know when to renovate it with red paint. But the box was not filled
at all, and even the bed quilt did not give spring flowers.
What
about other people homes, you have to give your children some pots and pans,
quilts and what. Although they are all cheap goods, even the old ones are
new, but there is also a pile of looks. People with good conditions can
also get a big object, such as a chest of drawers.
The
most important thing is that Jiang Madam also received the gift of Liu Jiasan
Silver Taels. According to the usual practice, the bride price is to
prepare the dowry for the woman. You can drop some, but you can't get rid of
it. People who love their daughters will also add some. Three Silver
Taels, you can do a lot of things, there is no such thing as a valuable item.
The
box prepared by Jiang Madam was too shabby to be empty. It was a couple of new
shoes, two old clothes, and the cloth that the village chief daughter had just
sent today was the best thing. Other small pieces, Jiang Madam, are not
prepared.
If
you let Chunhuaguang go out today, it will spread to several nearby villages
tomorrow, and Jiang Wucun will marry Miss, and even the bride price will be
swallowed up. In the future, who would dare to marry Miss Jiang in the village.
Therefore,
everyone is anxious, and some people can't help but ask Jiang Madam : "When Liu gave the three Silver Taels
dowry, how can you accompany a Silver Taels dowry? How do you let Chunhua a new
wife how to be at home? Straight up."
"Where
do I have silver, I have spent five or two for Da-nu , and I have used it three
or two long ago. I have spent all my years of savings, and now I can’t get it.
The grievances are spent." Jiang Madam said in disapproval.
She
didn't care about the face of the village. Anyway, her family had a daughter in
the spring, and Chunhua had already been very dissatisfied with her. In the
future, she wouldn't have been able to get any spring flowers. Where would she
manage the spring flowers and marry the past? .
Everyone
listened to her saying that she had nothing to say. She couldn’t force her to
buy anything now. The village chief’s person made a look. Several women rushed
up and wanted to put the spring flowers on the cover. Packed up and taken
away. The old is better than nothing. What's more, Chunhua has two
old and new clothes, which are also a fool.
Where
do you know that these better clothes have been picked up by Jiang Madam, and
there is nothing left in the room of Jiang Chunhua, and there is no use at
all. Everyone looked and took a breath of air, and they didn't know what
to say.
"Too
much. Spring flowers this child is really worthless, for this family tired and
tired, nothing was done." Some people on the spot for the spring
flowers. Chunhua reputation in the village is quite good. People are
honest and diligent, and they are also good. They are a favorite child.
"Yes.
Usually used by spring flowers, let her take it away. She is not a few Mei-mei
underneath, but also waiting to pick up the old." Some people said
puzzled.
"Oh,
it must have been reserved for Da-nu daughter-in-law." Someone
sneered. The door that Da-nu ordered was already spread all over. Everyone
knows that the family is waiting to get a big price for her daughter, and she
will definitely not give her any dowry in the future.
"No,
take the five Silver Taels dowry and you can't give two clothes?" Someone
couldn't believe it. It doesn't cost much to sew an ordinary coarse
cloth. Five Silver Taels can buy piles of coarse cloth.
"You
only look at it. Anyway, the new daughter-in-law will enter the door at the end
of this year. Da-nu . Doesn't that kid like a handsome wife? I don't know what
it is like to be married in the future?"
"That is, Chou-Gu is so good, how
can it be done, a small Miss family can hold up a home, and the family is still
eating meat. In the future, whoever married her, she is married to a wealth god
Niang-Niang. He actually I still don't see Chou-Gu, and I don't see what is
happening in my family."
"You
said that in the future, Jiang Da-nu will regret it and regret it with
Chou-Gu." This person is completely joke-conscious.
A few
women worked and talked hotly, and did not expect Jiang Da-nu to hear it on one
side.
Jiang
Da-nu picks up a bunch of water and deliberately coughs. Several women have
quickly stopped their mouths, and some of them have shifted the subject.
Jiang
Da-nu walked away, and Minger appeared again with amazement. The kitten
behind him is obviously overwhelmed. He had heard about this gossip in the
past, but when he was young, he didn't see any reaction from Chou-Gu, but it
was just a joke. Where did you know that the exact results were heard from
these women today? In the past, Chou-Gu and Da-nu really had a marriage contract. Obviously
everyone knows.
Although
Ming is young, she has grown up a lot after experiencing so many things. When I
think about it, I know why my sister is not coming to Jiang. The daring is
because the Jiang family repented. He was so angry that his face was
flushed, his hands and feet started to shake, and he wanted to say something.
The kitten took him away with great flexibility.
All
the women looked at the back of Ming’s kitten, and they were embarrassed. Some
people worried that : “The
child will not go back to find his mother to make trouble?”
As
long as everyone thought of it, his mother-in-law, the beautiful girl, could
actually mention Wang-Aunt in one hand, and it was very uncomfortable, for fear
that the woman came over today.
"Hurry
up and call the village chief's house." Someone said.
"Yeah,
yeah. It's a real thing, but it doesn't look good." Someone was anxious,
and she left the work in her hand to find the village chief’s person.
The
village chief's daughter-in-law hurried over and heard the words of their
mouths, and their faces were distorted. They whispered and asked : "I have said that you should not mention
this matter again. Why do you mention this again? It’s a thing."
"We
are just a few words of gossip. When I think of it, I will let Minger hear it.
The child is so angry that he can fight." Someone said slyly.
"Hey,
if something happened today, I will ask you. If someone in the village talks
about it later, don't blame me for being polite." The village chief’s
person said with hatred.
"Don't
dare, no more dare." Several women ‘Called.
"What
should I do now?" Someone was afraid to ask the village chief
daughter-in-law.
"What
can I do? I can only say hello to Chou-Gu in advance." The village chief’s
person said with hatred, and went to Chou-Gu house. When something happens
when you have a happy event, you will really know what it is.
The
arrival of the village chief’s person was very surprised by Chou-Gu. She
quickly called the village chief’s person : "Big Aunt, is there anything?"
"Is
the child coming back?" The village chief's daughter smiled.
"No,
what happened to him?" Chou-Gu asked anxiously.
"No,
nothing. It was just that I saw him go to the Jiang family to give gifts, and
asked casually." The village chief’s person sighed with a sigh of relief
and said.
"Oh.
It might be playing with the kittens." Chou-Gu smiled.
"Well,
come over, Aunt has something to say to you." The village chief’s person
took Chou-Gu and kissed her warmly to the outside. She didn't dare to let
her mother hear the contents of her conversation. Although Chou-Gu mother
is completely ignorant of things, she does not necessarily stand by and watch
this big event.
Chou-Gu
looked at her strangely and secretly recalled what happened during this time.
She didn't know what she was going to talk about.
The
village chief’s daughter-in-law was silent for a while before she said, “Chou-Gu,
you are a child. I don’t want to make a circle. Let’s just say, I’ve heard a
few women chewing their tongues and saying Da-nu Repent and your affair. Minger is very
angry." She threw things out and wanted to see how Chou-Gu would handle
it.
Chou-Gu
took a moment to deliberately pretend not to understand : "I have a relationship with Da-nu , I
don't know? Didn't he book a relative last year?"
Two
sentences almost didn’t let the village chief’s person die to death. After a
while, I smiled and said : “I’m
talking about a few women chewing their tongues. What they said, it’s not that
you two walked before. Get close."
She
did not expect that Chou-Gu was so simple to push two or six five, completely
nothing. People simply don't recognize this. However, she turned her
head and thought that Chou-Gu is so capable now, and close to
Ning-County-Graduate, I am afraid I can't really get Da-nu . Besides, the
environment of Jiang’s home is really not a good place to go.
"When
you get close, you will pass this kind of words. Isn't this bad my reputation?
Big Aunt, you have to be in charge. Next time I hear this again, I have to ask
them what is the reason? Father is gone, personally dare to break my
reputation, is this trying to force me to die?" Chou-Gu was furious, she
sneered a few times, staring at the village chief’s person, saying word by
word.
Chou-Gu
came out at this moment, and the overwhelming hatred made the village chief’s
person feel helpless.
She
quickly said : "There
is absolutely no next time. I have already taught them."
Chou-Gu
stared at her, like a hungry wolf, and looked straight at the village chief’s
person who had a cold sweat, and said coldly : “If I can’t live without it, then everyone
will die together.”
The
village chief’s person was so frightened that she made an exclamation and said,
“What are you talking about?”
"Big
Aunt, you can say this to the village chief Dabo. If I hear any more words in
the future, I don't know what I can do." Chou-Gu said, kicking off the
roadside A small tree with a thick arm.
Although
it is only a small tree, but this force, this moment of murderous murder, but
the village chief daughter knows that Chou-Gu is not a joke, she repeatedly
promised : "Sure
will not, no one will ever Said indiscriminately."
"That's
good." Chou-Gu said that she would stop talking to her and turned back to
the house.
Then
do you want to send the children to the school now? Ning-Er asked again.
Chou-Gu
now has a dozen Silver Taels on hand. Plus, they go hunting and selling
vegetables from time to time, and the days are all right. It is also time
to send a child to school, or if he is two years old, he will be delayed.
“To
find out, you have to spend more money a year,” Chou-Gu said. To be
honest, she did not expect to send her children to school at this time, because
she did not care.
"Go
and ask now." Ning-Er also said that it was the rainy person, and the
group went to the school again.
As a
result, one year’s repairs only required ten Silver Taels, but some other
miscellaneous fees, such as pen and ink, books, and their homes, are still far
away, and they have to live here. Up, the cost of a year is about thirteen
Silver Taels.
This
overhead is really expensive. Especially in this place, most people still
have to go hungry. It can be said that an ordinary family is afraid that
they will not have 13 Silver Taels in their lifetime.
"No
wonder few people can read the book." Chou-Gu is secretly ‘Calling.
For a
student's annual expenses, it is equivalent to raising an old snack for a few
years. This number is more expensive than modern education. And if
you want to give out a student, at least ten years, is there a so-called
ten-year window? If you don't read it for many years, you can get
it. In this way, the cost of reading is more expensive. It is no
wonder that there are fewer ancient scholars, and this tuition fee is really
not enough for people to afford.
However,
Chou-Gu now has nearly twenty-two silvers on hand. How can one or two Silver
Taels be saved in one year? That is to say, she can basically get the money for
Ming’s two-year book. But the tuition fees for the next year will have to
be earned by another idea. How can they earn more than a dozen Silver
Taels by selling their food and hunting for a year? It is estimated that
the former Wu Hunter can only earn 12 or 28 Silver Taels. Otherwise, he
will not leave no more homes for this family.
"I
will check it out again," Chou-Gu said vaguely.
She
is still hesitating in her heart. She is not reluctant to give money to Minger
to go to school. She is thinking, if she is going to go to school now, others
will doubt where she got the money from? She has to let everyone know that
the name of the money that Minger went to school is justified. Otherwise,
her days are only afraid of getting a storm. Such a large amount of silver
can be solved by not only ten pheasant wild rabbits. The villagers will
certainly doubt this suspicion, and come up with a bunch of broken things.
Ning-Er
stunned, changed her mind, and understood her difficulties. This is not just a
matter of money. Reading is a big event. There are no readers in several
villages nearby. They are the heads of the village chiefs of the villages (the
most wealthy people in the local area), and they have never had serious study.
The most important thing is to let a child Just know a few words.
After
all, there will always be one or two people literate in a village. For example,
if you want to write a genealogy, get a marriage book, and preside over a
family, you will have to write. Therefore, the village head is generally
literate. In fact, the problem of food and clothing for the villagers can
not be solved, and no one wants to read and read.
This
is why people don't care about Wu hunter literacy. It is now that most of
the people in Jiangwu Village know that Minger and Chou-Gu know a few
words. They are not in the heart, but they don’t know the words here. It’s
not a big deal for ordinary people. The field that needs literacy and the village
chief must have come forward. The length of a village, in fact, has to
manage a lot of things.
No
matter which place the school has a modern literacy class, this literacy class
is not a serious study. The Master teaches you to understand some of the most
basic daily use words, even if it is.
It is
such a literacy class that only learns for one year, and it takes two Silver
Taels for this poor place. Generally, such students are older, such as ten
years old, because they know how to cherish this opportunity, they will study
hard and not dare to play. A wise child can learn a lot of knowledge in a
year, in addition to reading and writing. There are also the Masters who
will occasionally teach the content of the students. There are also
disciples who, regardless of the matter, directly let the students who are a
little learned to teach the children of the literacy class.
"For
the time being, I can still learn in my own home. I will teach him more when I
have time," Ning-Er said.
"Well, thank you very much."
Chou-Gu nodded. She really can't do anything about her imperial
examination. Although she went to Academy, she hated classical Chinese when she
went to school. Now she just remembers some ancient poetry and songs from everyone,
and she gave it back to the teacher.
"Thank
you for your thanks, I thank you so much," Ning-Er said quickly.
The
scorpion noodle Chou-Gu gave him directly, let him take it to the pillars.
Ning-Er
is very embarrassed to ask, Chou-Gu said : "Are you thinking that we have
leftovers?"
"What
you said, if you didn't eat it, you picked it out first. Where is the
rest?" Ning-Er said quickly.
"You
don't be so polite with me. I don't always get your light. Actually, I wanted
to buy a bowl and bring it back, but think about it. This noodle brought back,
it has long been a mess, and the taste is also Not so good. Next time I take
the pole to eat." Chou-Gu said.
Ning-Er
quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, a bowl of noodles is ten dollars.
It's too expensive. You can't eat any more. It's better to cut half a catty of
meat and eat it."
Chou-Gu
smiled and knew that she spent too much money on this time. She thought it took
more than two or two dollars and she was upset.
It is
really because of the poor, she spent so much money at once, she is simply
guilty. She couldn't help but persuade herself in her heart that she would
have to save some money next time. There is no money to use it. This is
just what Ning-Er saw. If someone else saw it, I didn't know what it was going
to cause.
After
returning home, Chou-Gu took the snack directly to the younger
brother. She and Minger have already eaten the flesh in the market
town. Not hungry yet. She had to look at the sky early and deal with
the pig's trotters and pork that she bought. Now that the weather is
getting warmer, these meat dishes can't be stored directly, only stewed or
marinated, or they will break down.
"Take
these to my mother." Chou-Gu said, splitting the snacks out half, leaving
them to the 3rd sister to eat, and half letting the younger brother take it to
her mother.
Then
she took a kelp and gave it to Minger, saying, "Go to the basin."
The
two younger brothers were obedient to work, Chou-Gu first pickled up three
pounds of meat, then took out all the pig's trotters, scraped the hair and
burned the blood with hot water, thrown into the cauldron Cook it up. She
added a large pot of water and two pig's hooves to their home for a few
days. She had to cook the trotters first, leaving more than half of them,
and slowly eating them. Leave only a little and a little stew with kelp,
and stay until tomorrow.
The
time required for the trotters to cook was not short. When the pot was boiled,
she went to pick up a lot of fresh cabbage and came back to prepare for dinner.
Because
I had a good meal today, she only cooked a thin dish of porridge at night. The
rice used this time was an authentic rice. The porridge cooked out was so
fragrant that she couldn’t help but felt hungry. And she also had three meat
buns.
This
time, their mother had eaten real rice porridge after nearly a year. Although
there are dishes in the porridge, the dishes are fresh and taste good. And
Chou-Gu also gave her an authentic big meat buns.
Therefore,
this mother had eaten very well, and finally calmed her injured little heart.
The
younger brother did not even raise his head, and a porridge with a sip of
porridge would not fall. These two kinds of food are good things for
him. Even if the Wu hunter was in the past, he could not eat this
often. A little fine food at home is reserved for their mother.
Minger
and Chou-Gu each had a bowl of porridge, they didn't eat buns, they were still
full, and the half bowl of noodles was really porcelain. I haven't
digested it until now. If you don't smell the porridge, they can't eat it.
The
younger brother finished a buns, drank half a bowl of gruel, and reluctantly
looked at the remaining buns.
Chou-Gu
smiled and said : "Give
you a drink tomorrow, you can't eat it at night, and you have to eat a
stomachache."
"Okay."
The younger brother was relieved, and he put down the tableware.
Chou-Gu
shook his head and shook his head. This family is really deformed. It is to let
her mother live a good life and make a child like this. When she thought
about it, she became more and more dissatisfied with her Father,
Niang. Everyone else is Father, Niang is reluctant to eat and drink, not
hungry children, their family is back. She feels that this family should
not have children. It is time to let the couple love each other all day,
what are the children doing?
When
she thought of it, she couldn't help but ask her : "Who is this favorite at this home?"
Mother
is this virtue, she does not count on it. However, in her memory, Father
could not find any scene of fatherly love for her sister. At least, her
Father is not very good to her, her attitude is relatively cold, and she must
be better for her two sons.
However,
she can understand that after all, the ancients were awkward, and the daughter
was only a by-product of their sons. Even some poor people directly killed
their daughter. She is still so ugly, and it is not bad for her Father to
raise her. And her Father doesn't usually beat her children, nor will she
let her eat too much.
Such
a man is a good man in the eyes of the village. Everyone thinks that Wu Hunter
is a man who is extremely painful. But how did she feel awkward?
Minger
took a moment to say : "Father,
he likes it." He is not sure who he likes most. If he must choose the most
word, he thinks his father's favorite is his mother. Anyway, his mother is
like a ancestors in this family. Everyone has to have a tail in front of
her. In the past, he was in front of his mother, and the atmosphere did
not dare to come out.
Chou-Gu
pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered a few times. She understands
that not only is she dissatisfied with her mother, but she is also the
same. However, he will not resist, and there used to be Father. The life
of this family is really good, and the warmth of eating is good.
What
kind of requirements can you ask for a child of a few years
old? Especially in an environment where others can't eat and wear, the
life of their family is enough for other children to come to the end. For
example, Jiang Da-nu is very good for
Ming, so Ming Ming remembers it now.
She was too lazy to ask these broken
things, busy packing up the dishes, and quickly went to wash the kelp. The
kelp that has been soaked in the water has swollen into a large piece. At this
time, the kelp is pure natural, and the color is very good. It is very dirty.
She washes it several times before it is washed.
"Is
this delicious?" Ming asked curiously. He was the first to see kelp,
and it was amazing to see it change from a hay-like thing to a big one now.
“This
kelp is a grassy thing that grows in the sea. People pick it up and dry it for
a long time. The kelp stew is very delicious, and it is good for people to eat.
Very delicious. "Chou-Gu said casually.
"Can
the grass eat?" Minger exclaimed.
"Seaweed
can't be said to be grass, just that it looks like grass. There are a lot of
delicious things in the sea." Chou-Gu laughed. The modern ordinary
things of kelp have also become precious rarities here. She didn't even
know that Ning-Er would have new doubts about her because of kelp.
"What
is the sea like?" Ming asked curiously.
“The
sea is a very large piece of water, much larger than the big rivers and ponds
here. The sea is blue and salty. The salt we eat can be boiled out in sea
water. There are many in the sea. Things like kelp, like the grass and trees on
our ground, there are also many sea fish. Many are good things to eat,” Chou-Gu
said.
The
more she said, the more she missed the modern days. If you want to eat
something in modern times, as long as you have money, how can you think about
it? But here, there are silver coins that can't be done. Moreover,
they are still so poor, it is good to be able to have a full
stomach. Where can I think of grilled oysters and grilled squid. The
simplest laver soup can't be eaten. At first thought, her favorite seafood
was insulated from her, and she felt sad when she was eating.
Minger
also listened very much, and their mother could not help but hear her daughter
say these words. She no matter what, and knows that Chou-Gu did not
understand this knowledge before. What's more, they didn't eat seaweed
soup at all. And even she has never seen the sea, and the sea she knows is
only known from books.
In
the end, she can only attribute this to Ning-Er. She is like everyone else, and
she thinks that Chou-Gu is listening to Ning-Er.
After
all, Ning-Er is from the capital, and it is a gongzi Geer that everyone will
read. It is also common to understand these. She did not expect that Chou-Gu
was no longer the former Chou-Gu. And this ugly daughter, who she hates
the most, can't wait to be born, and the knowledge she knows is more than
everyone imagination.
Early
the next morning, Chou-Gu took a jar of kelp trotters soup and two meat buns
that were cooked last night, and then took a few dishes and went to work in the
fields.
As
for the two people at home, there are meat buns and stewed seaweed soup. It is
enough for them to eat for a day.
Because
they had to dig up the Sorghum seedlings, when their sisters came, the Ning
family had already done a lot of work, and Ning-Er had already cooked the
porridge on the simple earthen stove in Tiantou. Yesterday, he also bought
ten hoes, cooked a pot of thin porridge, and then dipped a Bun into the
porridge, you can eat very well.
"It's
so early." Chou-Gu greeted them.
"My
vegetable porridge is cooked right away, let's eat together." Ning-Er
quickly greeted her and Minger. He cooked enough porridge, and originally
had Chou-Gu and Minger's share.
Chou-Gu
also agreed, anyway, she brought a seaweed soup today, and she is also ready to
give it to her family. However, she took out the two meat buns and grilled
them directly to the fire. They said, "The two meat buns are served to the
pillars and the Master."
"You
eat it yourself, there are still a few ‘maidens on our side." Ning-Er
quickly resigned. He is very embarrassed to be cheaper in the Chou-Gu
home.
"Two meat buns, you push me and give
birth to me." Chou-Gu said deliberately angry.
Here,
five acres of land, three acres is Wu, Ning's only two acres, but do not live
yours, and everyone is doing it together. It is up to two people, Chou-Gu
and Minger. The three-acre land is exhausting them. Basically, the
physical strength is all done by the Ning family, and Chou-Gu himself feels
that it is cheaper for the Ning family.
Ning-Er
had no longer said, went to take the bowl, gave each person a bowl of gruel,
and asked her : "Taro,
do you want to eat directly in the porridge, or grill it?"
"I
want to roast and eat more deliciously." Chou-Gu said, took his Bun and
smashed it to the fire. The scalp is roasted to a yellowish brown, with a
burst of scent.
The
pillar had already smelled the scent of the barbecue buns in front of her. Now
I smell the scent of the steamed buns. I can still stand it, and I look up and
look at it again. I have no working mind.
Ning-Er
quickly called out : "The
pillar and Aye came to eat."
The
pillar ran over with a smile, and Chou-Gu rushed to the river to wash his
hands, only to give him the meat buns that had been put on and off.
The
pillar took the buns and bitten half of it in one bit. Grandpa refused to ask
for buns and insisted on eating steamed buns.
He
also said : "I
have eaten big meat noodles for dinner last night, and the meat has not been
ruined."
One
of the noodles brought back yesterday, he and the pillars were eaten. A
scorpion noodles, a little more than the bowl that Chou-Gu had eaten, and there
were several large pieces of meat, and he added some water and vegetables to
it, and cooked a large pot. With a Bun, he and the pillars were both full and
satisfied, very satisfied.
Ning-Er
came to the field last night, and put the hoes, noodles and meat brought back
here, let the pillars and grandsons eat them. He only went
back. Because he was too full, he saved even his dinner.
Aye
insisted on not eating buns. No way, Chou-Gu could only divide the meat buns
into four and a half. She and Minger, Ning-Er and the pillars, and four people
were eaten by a small piece.
Master
bit his Bun, his face is cheerful, and he is very satisfied. Ning-Er knows
that he doesn't want to eat buns, but it saves a little bit for
everyone. Therefore, this small half of the buns eats his mouth full of
taste, and his heart is very heavy. Ning-Er's expression naturally did not
escape the eyes of Chou-Gu. In fact, her heart is no better than Ning-Er. To
put it bluntly, it is all too poor. Otherwise, everyone will not push a
buns.
When
I was working, Ning-Er was still a little bit low. Chou-Gu had to persuade him : "Our Sorghum will definitely get a good harvest today. At
that time, we will not swear." Go for a white meal and eat a few good
ones."
Ning-Er
was teased by her words and said, "You think it is good. But this place is
not fat at all. It is not easy to have a good harvest."
"Fear
of something, let's get some more fat." Chou-Gu has a well-thought-out
look.
Ning-Er
saw that she was so confident that she immediately got up in the sunshine, and
felt that the days were full of hope and the work was more energetic. The
two were like a plug, and they didn't stop for a moment. The direct Master
greeted : "It's
time to rest, you can cook and eat."
Chou-Gu
stopped the work in his hands and said to Ning-Er : "You cook a pot of dry rice directly. I
brought the seaweed soup. I will burn a green vegetable later."
Ning-Er
nodded and went to the fire.
Chou-Gu
put the soup pot that he brought directly on the stove, and went to wash the
vegetables with the pillars of Minger. Ning-Er was busy with a pot of dry rice,
then burned another casserole and boiled a pot of boiling water and asked her : "How hot is the dish?"
"I
am coming, you are learning." Chou-Gu smiled and threw the washed cabbage
directly into the boiling water, then added a little salt to it, and it was
finished. “Just eat it?” Ning-Er asked with surprise. This little
cabbage was also made too simple. A large pot of water dipped in a large dish,
and it was completely boiled in a pot. Even the oil did not have a drop. He did
not believe it would be delicious.
"Well."
Chou-Gu nodded. Although this dish was too simple, it took a dish with soup and
even the tea. Anyway, there are trotters and seaweed soup, which is enough
hard water, and boiled cabbage will not be rejected.
Sure enough,
after drinking a bowl of thick trotters and seaweed soup, everyone did not
think that the vegetable soup was unpalatable. The trotters have been
stewed, the oil is very full, and it is a rare treat to drink.
After
a long time, I drank the seaweed soup again. Master couldn’t believe it. I
asked, “Chou-Gu will also make seaweed soup. This soup tastes really good.”
"What's
so difficult, the stew is the easiest. Just add water and cook it." Chou-Gu
said no.
In
her opinion, the two methods of frying and frying are the most troublesome.
Stew soup, stewed vegetables, steamed vegetables, etc. are very simple. As long
as the materials are prepared first, the soup is directly stewed, the brine is
directly cooked, and the steamed vegetables are directly On the
steamer. It saves time and effort, and doesn't need to keep an eye on the
pot all the time. It's not like frying and frying, it's not a fire, it won't
work.
Master
Wan, said : "Chou-Gu
said it is simple, but it is not easy to stew a good soup. Today, this seaweed
soup is very tasty. The pig's trotters are stewed and delicious. ”
Chou-Gu
smiled and she felt that this seaweed soup was really good. If in modern
times she might not be able to drink so much soup, it would be too
greasy. But here, the soup is drunk, and she feels that the intestines are
moisturized. It can be seen that it is still because the life is too bad,
the body actually lacks oil and water. Although the pheasant wild rabbits
are not eaten, it is not eaten every day, and it is never enough.
Minger
and the pillars did not raise their heads, but they just wanted to bury their
heads in the bowl. The two chewed on the kelp and drank the soup.
"Sister,
I didn't expect the grass in the sea to be really delicious." Minger
sighed and sighed while eating and drinking.
"The
grass in the sea?" Ning-Er read this sentence and could not help but
laugh.
"My
sister also said that there are many such grasses in the sea, and there are
still many fish. The sea is blue, salty, and salty." Minger said proudly.
"Well,
yes, yes." Ning-Er smiled, but couldn't help but watch Chou-Gu eyes. Chou-Gu
said these words, let him have a kind of Chou-Gu, I have seen the sea, I also
know people from the sea. It is as if she is a person living by the
sea. And he knows that this knowledge is still obtained from books.
Chou-Gu
is quite big, and she also thinks that Ning-Er is just a teenager, and she
doesn't have much doubt about her. Therefore, she doesn't care too much about
Ning-Er. She just aimed at the Master and missed the doubts that Ning-Er
had flashed in her eyes. The Master is already full, just got up and ready
to go to the river to wash his face, and he did not hear
clearly. Therefore, she did not stop her words.
Pillar
ate one of the three bowls of kelp
trotters soup, and ate two bowls of rice. When everyone didn't eat it, he
rounded up the rest of the food. He only took a big smile on his face and took
a shot. Belly, said : "Full.
Delicious."
"Well,
you go to the break. At night we stewed the meat." Ning-Er
laughed. The pillar is the main labor force. Everyone takes extra care of
him. Make sure he eats well. If he is tired, the life in the field will
not work.
Minger,
Chou-Gu and Ning-Er add up, but they can't beat a pillar. Chou-Gu
sometimes thinks that if there are no pillars, they will be saddened by these
two days. When she thinks this way, she will feel that her life is not too
bad. There is not so much dissatisfaction and complaint in her heart.
Pillar
cheered and quickly plunged into his own
shop and ‘Called and fell asleep. Everyone followed them for a while, and
soon they were put into intense work.
After
another few days of operation, all the Sorghum seedlings were planted, and all the five acres
of land were planted. Only about one acre of land was left directly
planted, and there was no time to turn over the ground. After planting the
seedlings, it is obvious that the big iron scorpion cannot be used to complete
the field. Therefore, everyone can only go back to the beginning, while
digging the ground, while slowly shovel the large mud pieces that have been dug
into small pieces, you must also pay attention not to hurt the seedlings that
have just been planted. As a result, it took a total of five days for this
acre to be completed.
At
this time, the earliest batch of Sorghum seedlings had been fully alive.
At
this time, all the villagers were busy with the spring ploughing, and the free
moon was gone, everyone was busy. Chou-Gu looked at the seedlings that had
survived, decided to rest for two days, and then went to the mountains to
hunt. Although her mother gave ten Silver Taels, she can temporarily do
not need to hunt to make money, but Ning Jia is a must. And she also
intends to pick up the silver at the head and leave it to the school for
school. Can earn now or try to earn more.
"Well,
it is time to rest for a few days, everyone is tired." Ning-Er agreed.
During
this time, everyone was exhausted. After returning home, Ning-Er had a rest for
two days. He almost slept and slept, and didn't want to move. However, on
the third day, he went to the pillars to find Chou-Gu and went hunting in the
mountains.
This
time Chou-Gu brought some spices, a piece of bacon and a little cooking oil.
She planned to eat fish and had not had fish soup for a while. Eating meat
every day is like eating fish. She didn't dare to buy oil before. The
animal fried fish still couldn't. The fish fried by the plants would be
fragrant and not sticky. This time, I bought a few pounds of oil.
"Let's
get more things this time, and change some money. Now it's busy, not too much
time to go into the mountains." Chou-Gu said.
"Well,
I have to get more, and I have to bring some firewood back. By the end of the
day, we have to start fertilizing in the ground. We are busy." Ning-Er
also said.
There
was no change in the cottage this time, but the little cabbage grown in front
of the house grew up. The onion sprouts grow even better.
"This
is good. We will have fresh vegetables to eat in the future." Ning-Er
laughed. He didn't expect to grow some of it casually, and he could grow
so well. It can be seen that this piece of land is very fat and very
suitable for growing vegetables. Unfortunately, it is too far from the
village, they can not come here to farmland.
"I
brought some seeds this time. Eggplant, pumpkin, cucumber, and pepper are all
there. I will come back and say that I can't eat anything." Chou-Gu
laughed. She has a lot of dishes left, so I can fill it up with a little
bit of it.
"Okay,
let me plant." Ning-Er is very happy, like a child, taking over the
vegetables and holding the shovel to work at the door. Minger and the
pillars went hunting, and Chou-Gu went fishing to prepare dinner.
Ning-Er
digging the ground soil, planting the vegetables, and going to the pond to
raise water, seeing Chou-Gu still collecting the fish, and quickly came to help.
Chou-Gu
simply threw the fish to him, and he was looking for wild vegetables. At
this time, the wild vegetables have grown up. Usually she has no time to look
for it. Along the stream, she cut a large fresh wild celery and returned.
“What
is this dish?” Ning-Er asked curiously.
"Wild
celery. It will be more in a few days, like to grow on the water. It is
delicious to use fried meat," Chou-Gu explained. The temperature on
the mountain side is still lower, and the wild vegetables are not growing
vigorously.
She
deliberately brought a piece of bacon, which is to prepare wild celery. She
used to like this dish when she was at home. Every spring, I will eat a
lot. And in modern times, this wild celery has become domesticated,
because there are more people who like to eat, and it is not enough to meet the
needs of the market by cutting the wild. Where is the taste of the wild
celery that is pure and pollution-free?
Not
much longer, the pillars and Minger ran back with laughter.
"Sister,
sister, we have gotten a lot of eggs. We also got three pheasants." Minger
‘called far away.
"Oh,
that's great, this time I really got to the egg. Let's have a good meal this
evening." Chou-Gu laughed.
"Okay,
okay. I also enjoy the good fortune." Ning-Er laughed.
The
pheasants are all alive, so they don't eat them. They are tied up directly and
thrown into the scorpion and brought back to sell.
Dinner
Chou-Gu cooked a large pot of fish soup, got a wild celery fried bacon, she
brought a lot of meat, more than half a catty, wild celery, and a large
pot. Two dishes, one pot of dry rice to eat four people.
After
dinner, Ning-Er took the pillars and Minger to find the wild rabbits. Chou-Gu
washed and brushed at home, cleaned the pots, boiled the water, made the beds
and so on. She helped Ning-Er and the pillars to make the floor first.
After
a while, the wild rabbits got more, Ning-Er did not take long to get ten wild
rabbits, and the three people came back happily.
"Go
to bed early, we will get up early tomorrow." Chou-Gu quickly greeted
everyone after washing and sleeping.
The
next morning, everyone got up. Chou-Gu and Ning-Er were busy with chopping
wood, and by the way they cut two wild celery. When Ming and the pillars
came back with a bunch of pheasants, they returned.
The
harvest was quite fruitful, and the pheasant wild rabbits got a lot of money.
They also licked a few nests of mountain eggs, and everyone was very satisfied.
“Go to
the market to buy prey tomorrow, you should be able to pick some peppers.” Chou-Gu
told Ning-Er. She estimated that peppers should be pickable these days,
and she found that peppers are already blooming a few days ago.
"Okay."
Ning-Er nodded, and wanted to go back and see how much the peppers in his
garden were knotted. At this time, the pepper trees of other people homes
grow so little, they can sell peppers, they can sell a good price, and they are
all excited.
The
next day, Chou-Gu got up early, took three pounds of peppers in the vegetable
garden, and cut a few leeks and prey to sell. The earliest peppers she
planted have all been fruitful, but most of the peppers are still very small,
and some even have just finished results. This time she picked up a lot of
picks, not many. But in another three or five days, you can pick it up
once.
In
the next month, eggplant, cucumber and other things can also be listed. This time,
she can rely on this vegetable field to make a small profit. And she is
already breeding the second batch of pepper eggplant and other things, and
picking up the batch early. The second batch is the one with the highest
output, but she does not intend to sell it because she can't afford the
price. These dishes are intended to be left to their own homes, as well as
simmered chili sauce, pickled sour bean cucumber, dried dried beans, dried
eggplant and dried pumpkin.
Although
the villagers knew that she had the earliest vegetables, she was surprised to
see her holding the peppers.
Everyone
around her, they said : "Hey,
Chou-Gu, the peppers you grow are so big, you can sell them."
"Yeah.
I planted it early." Chou-Gu smiled.
"Hey,
this pepper is really tender."
"Yeah,
it can be a big price. The seedlings of our family are only one inch
long." Someone said.
"Oh,
that's it, it can be worth a few dollars." Chou-Gu laughed, raised the
whip and drove the donkey away.
She
knew that others would stop her, so she did not hide the three pheasants and
two wild rabbits, and some of the peppers, garlic and garlic were very
generous. She just wants everyone to know that she can earn a lot of money
when she goes to sell something. It’s too hidden, it’s not going to
work. She intends to be a little higher than last year from now on,
otherwise she will go to school in the future, which is not good for explaining
the way of money.
She
has set a plan for herself, hunting for a three or four in January, earning two
or three hundred dollars, and earning three or five hundred dollars, plus
selling vegetables and working odd jobs. One year, she has to Let everyone know
that she can also earn more than two or two points of money. This number
is more acceptable to her and everyone.
Because
most of the money she earns is to buy food, everyone habits are clear, and they
are not at all awkward. Her mother is still a good person who only wants
to eat and eat, so the money that Chou-Gu earns has to spend more than
half. There may even be no money at all.
So in
the eyes of everyone, she will have a few hundred dollars left in a year, less
than half of the money. Although it is enough to envy everyone, it does
not make everyone want to make a big idea.
And
now everyone understands the way to earn money. Others can learn to grow
vegetables as well. For example, last winter, every household sold a lot of
cabbage radishes and earned money. Today, everyone will only grow more
vegetables. Thinking about making more money. Even in normal times, you
can sell some small fish. In the early winter of autumn, you can also pick wild
oranges and sell some firewood. So many kinds of silver can be earned one or
two and a half years later. A small amount can also earn two or three
hundred dollars.
Nowadays,
most of the villagers are more savvy. They don’t know that they only know how
to be sour, and they want to grab it. Because they are not idiots, they
can be seen from the changes in the family of kittens. If you have a good
relationship with Chou-Gu, you can get some benefits from her. So the
situation of the Chou-Gu family is slowly changing.
But
Chou-Gu actually does not only earn so little, she can earn three to four
Silver Taels in a year. In addition, she still has three acres of land,
and the food she eats does not need to buy too much, so one year, according to
the plan, she plans to save at least three Silver Taels. She didn't want
too much. For the time being, she didn't have such a big ambition, and she was
afraid to earn too much and couldn't help it.
The
three-acre field in her home is still the name of Ningjia. She did not
dare to let the villagers know that she still has money to buy the
fields. This topic is too sensitive. Here, Tian is the biggest home.
The
younger brothers rushed to the road and went to the crossing and the Ning-Er
pillar.
"Hey,
wait a long time?" Chou-Gu, who was far away, saw the pillar and Ning-Er,
and quickly said hello.
"You
picked a lot of peppers, it's a bit late today," Ning-Er said. He and
the pillar have been waiting for more than a moment.
"Where
is it, only two or three pounds. It’s just being pulled by people in the
village and talking for a while." Chou-Gu answered.
"What's
the matter, they won't have any thoughts yet?" Ning-Er worried.
"No.
I just want to see my peppers." Chou-Gu smiled. Most of the prey was
in the hands of Ning-Er, and she also brought three pheasants and two wild
rabbits, which would not make everyone eyes unbearable.
Ning-Er
breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have picked more peppers than you,
almost five pounds." He said, he asked Chou-Gu to see his family's
peppers.
"Not
bad. Your home pepper is better than my cooking." Chou-Gu surprised and
praised. She didn't expect Ning's peppers to be more than her family's,
and the Ning-Er's peppers grew a little bigger than her family.
"That
is, you don't want to think that our family has three serious labors. You are
alone in your family. Can you come over?" Ning-Er said pitifully.
Although
Chou-Gu has more people than their family, there are two people who only eat
and do not work. Although there is still a Minger who can help, but it is
limited, it’s all right. Chou-Gu A child is supporting. This is also more
than one Daren that Chou-Gu can do, or the family should have starved to
death. Where can I compare with others?
And
they are rather homeless, Master is a leisurely, and the body is still very
healthy, busy at home all day long, especially when there is no farm work in
the past, he can treat these dishes as a darling. Careful care, the
natural harvest of the dishes is even better. Moreover, the land of his
vegetable garden is more fatter than the Chou-Gu home, and of course the output
will be more abundant.
"You
said so. And your home garden is big, you can grow more next year." Chou-Gu
laughed. She has now deeply felt the fact that her family has less labor,
because she is busy every day, and she is not free at all.
"Well.
I think so too." Ning-Er nodded and echoed.
"This
time I sold something. You catch a dozen chickens or ducklings in the village
to raise them. After eating eggs, you will not be able to eat them. You can
also kill chickens and eat meat." Chou-Gu reminded Ning Er, it's a good
time to catch chickens and ducklings.
The
five chickens in her family have now begun to lay eggs, and the four mothers
and one male are just right. Because of the meticulous care, I can get
four eggs a day from now on, just enough for one family to eat one. She is
a white water egg that is cooked directly at breakfast. One person takes a
peeled shell and eats it for everyone. Eggs are good things, the best nutrients
for poor people.
"Well,
I know. I actually want to raise two more pigs." Ning-Er added.
It’s
just farming, obviously not enough to feed their family. He definitely wants to
make more money. In addition to hunting and growing vegetables, there are
only a few more poultry. Because pigs can be pulled out and sold, they can
also kill their own home. After all, wild animals are not so tender than
domestic pork, so oily. Even if you just leave the pig oil, you can take
out a big pot. If you eat oil, you can save a lot of money for their family.
How
many of their families still have some aristocratic habits, even if they are
green vegetables, they must have a bit of oil and water, so they eat more oil
than their Chou-Gu family. In addition, there is a big belly in his house.
If you don't touch the oil, the pillar will eat a big pot of rice, and you will
be hungry.
The
most important thing is that in the winter, they can't go hunting in the
mountains. Selling their own domestic pigs is also a big
investment. Another point is fertilizer, which produces more fertilizer
than a small group of chickens and ducks. Crops do not fertilize, nor can
they grow much better. Especially the Sorghum they planted, Chou-Gu has already said, have to
find a way to get some fat, the land is too fat.
In
combination with these situations, Ning-Er wanted to go and decided to raise a
few pigs.
"Also.
As long as you have the energy to raise." Chou-Gu nodded and said.
"You
don't raise pigs?" Ning-Er asked.
"Do
not raise." Chou-Gu simply answered, raising pigs is very
energy-consuming, you have to cut the pig grass every day, three times a day to
feed, a pig's meal is not small. Don't let the pigs eat well, where will
it grow meat?
Moreover,
she does not intend to raise too many poultry. Because she has no energy, she
relies on her alone. She really can't do too much work. Now she has the kind of
burden she will have to die. She only plans to catch a few ducklings to
raise it. Anyway, there are water sources nearby, and there are many small fish
and shrimps. It is easier to raise ducks. Can be handed over to
Minger and the younger brother, basically do not have to worry about
her. The duck lay down the egg, not only can you eat it yourself, but you
can also sell it and change it for a change. It is also a small entry for the
family.
“Are
you afraid that you don’t have time to cut the ragweed?” Ning-Er quickly asked,
he hoped that Chou-Gu would raise pigs and more. And you can get a lot of
fertilizer.
"Really,
no one in our family can take care of the pigs. It is annoying to cut the
pigweed, and it has to be cleaned every day, and it will be washed out,
otherwise it will have a great taste." Chou-Gu said frankly. .
“Why
should I clean the pigsty?” Ning-Er asked. He saw the farmers who raised pigs,
but no one was so particular. The pigsty is very dirty, and I smell a
stink when I am far away.
"It's
dirty and smelly, can you stand it? And the pigsty is kept clean and the pigs
are not easy to get sick." Chou-Gu quickly answered.
In
the village where her old family used to go, most of the young Darens came out
to work, and there were very few people in the village. Some households
took the opportunity to set up a pig farm, raised a lot of pigs, and then all
the people in a village moved away.
The
family had to wash the pigsty every day, the pigsty was clean, and the pig was
white and not dirty at all. They only looked at their own pigs and rushed
the dirt into an adjacent pond.
Later,
the good pond became a huge septic tank, stinking, full of flies and
mosquitoes, smelling a few miles away. Then she never went back to the
country.
"As
you said, you have to rinse the pigsty every day. It really takes a lot of
time, and you have to feed three times a day. You are really busy."
Ning-Er nodded and said.
"So,
I don't want to raise pigs." Chou-Gu laughed.
Ning-Er
nodded, no longer persuaded her, even if he can help cut the pig grass, it is
impossible to come over to help Chou-Gu wash the pigsty every day.
However,
Chou-Gu words can give him a wake up. After returning, he and the Master
Pillars made a good pigsty, and dug a ditch that drained the dirt, far away
from the house outside the pigsty. The place has established a septic tank,
which can just store the pig's urine as fertilizer.
Chou-Gu
and Ning-Er did not expect that such an unintentional move actually triggered a
pig revolution.
Selling
prey, Ning-Er really let the Master go to the village to catch ten chickens and
ten ducklings, and went to another village to catch three piglets.
The
Master heard that he had ordered such a pile, but some could not believe it. He
asked, "Would you like so much? Have we got it? Is the piglet going to
three?"
"Yes,
I want to raise more points, and my family is better. I won't learn
slowly." Ning-Er answered.
In
the words of Chou-Gu, raising chickens and raising ducks is very simple. It is
to raise pigs to cut pigweed. Chou-Gu also said that there is no need to worry.
The forest is surrounded by wild grass and wild vegetables that pigs can
eat. If you are not good enough, you can go to the river to get some water
to feed the pigs. Otherwise, he did not dare to raise so much at
once. And Chou-Gu also said that raising pigs can not only raise one head,
but also raise a few more heads. Pigs will grow better and fatter because they
eat.
Master
sighed and wanted to say nothing and finally said nothing, but the eyes were
red. If it is not too much money, Ning-Er will not make such a
decision. If you raise so many chickens, ducks and pigs, don't think about
how much free time you will have in the future.
Ning-Er
understands what he means and says, "You don't think too much. I am not a
gongzi Geer now. It is not a shame to go out and cut the pigs. It is not a
shame to put the ducks."
Master
barely smiled and said : "I
don't mean this." That is to say, tears are about to fall. When he
thought of his family's fascinating Young Master, he would have to eat ducks
and pigs every day.
Ning-Er
quickly transferred the topic and said, "We have raised our chickens and ducks,
and we will not eat any eggs in the future. If you can't finish the meal, you
can take it out and exchange some money, and the pigs will be raised. I can
give pork to the Chou-Gu family. She has too few people to work, she said she
doesn't raise pigs."
"Oh.
It's hard for Chou-Gu, how big is the child. Everything has to be
thoughtful." Master exclaimed.
"So,
comparing Chou-Gu, I have lived a lot better than her. Later, you don't want to
think about it. I feel that my life is too much. I am now an ordinary person.
Not bad. We have worked hard for a few years, save more money, and buy two
acres of land later, the days will be better." Ning-Er laughed.
Master
took a moment and said it was not good to say : "Yes, yes. The days will be better."
The
next day, the Master really got the chicks and ducklets back together, and the
family of three took care of them like a baby. The piglet is only full of
months, small, it seems that you can not eat wild vegetables directly, Ning-Er
also specifically asked Chou-Gu : "So
small pig, what to feed for it?"
Chou-Gu
carefully looked through the memory and said : "Boil the porridge and feed it. The rice
is not washed, and the food can be old."
She
remembered that Madam also raised pigs when she was a child. They all boiled
pig food to feed pigs, especially piglets. After the pigs were big, they began
to eat rice bran mixed with wild vegetables, sweet potato vines and so
on. Sometimes, the cooked food is fed to the pigs, and the meals that are
not enough at home are also used to feed the pigs. The pigs raised in this
way are fat. Some pigs in the village are raised in pigs. All the pigs eat
raw food. What do you feed at home? The pigs eat rice bran all year round, wild
vegetables and grasses, and they are not at all concerned. Such pigs are better
than their homes. The pigs are not a small circle.
"Sister,
is the piglet eating the same as the person?" Ming asked curiously.
"Oh,
you can't say that, but the piglets are still too small. It's not good to feed
them with vegetables. It's not good. When you grow up, you don't need to eat so
fine. Wild vegetables, we don't eat old dishes. Leaves and so on can be used to
feed the pigs." Chou-Gu laughed.
She
is also afraid that the three piglets that Ning-Er has just caught will not
grow up because of malnutrition. If you are dead, you can lose money.
Piglets are not cheap.
"Oh,
I got three ancestors back, I have to cook porridge for them. How long do you
want to feed?" Ning-Er said with a smile. Fortunately, the three
piglets have a small amount of food. If they are bigger, they should eat
porridge and he can afford it.
"Probably
first raise this for a month, then slowly add vegetables to them to eat. It is
definitely impossible to feed porridge every day, but now the piglets in the
full moon have just broken their milk, or they have to feed them some good
food." Chou -Gu said.
Ning-Er
is very curious that Chou-Gu has not raised pigs at all, but has such a rich
experience in raising pigs. However, it may be accustomed to Chou-Gu know
everything, he is still quite convinced Chou-Gu, listened to her words, and
hurried home again.
"Sister,
how can we not raise pigs in our family?" Minger asked some
envy. Chou-Gu caught ten ducklings back, and even the chicks did not catch
them.
"Our
family can't raise it. It's not bad to raise some ducklings. After the ducks
lay down eggs, I will make some salted eggs for you to eat," Chou-Gu said.
"Salty eggs? Is it delicious?"
Minger asked quickly.
"Well,
it's delicious." Chou-Gu laughed. It is extremely simple to make
salted duck eggs. She used to eat salted duck eggs to eat gruel, but the salted
duck eggs that she bought were not too salty or too light, which forced her to
do it herself. After two trials, she could pickle a hand. A good salted duck
egg.
In a
few days, Ning-Er sighed. "I didn't expect that the family just added some
chickens, ducks and piglets. Everyone was very busy, and the family seemed to
increase popularity."
His
house is big, a total of three people, and far from the village, usually
quiet. But now, the sound of chickens, ducks and pigs every day can make
the whole house active. Let him have a strange feeling.
However,
the Ning family loves to be clean, and the chicken ducklings cannot come to the
front of the house. The Master shuts them behind and goes straight out
from the back door. Just behind his house there was a small river ditch,
and the chickens were playing in the grass along the river ditch. The
ducklings are having fun in the ditch, which is very
convenient. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is the
piglet, which takes a lot of time.
"Of
course, there are many live animals in the family, and they all seem to be
prosperous. Wait until the chickens and ducks grow up, it is called excitement.
And the pigs are most hungry and will be called out loud." Chou-Gu
laughed.
She
remembered when she was a child, the family kept pigs, cattle, ducks, and
people raising geese and raising sheep. As soon as the morning, the big
cocks of every household began to crow. Not long after, the industrious
housewives got up, and they all carried the baskets to the river to wash their
clothes, or washed vegetables and began to prepare for breakfast.
Then,
the men also got up. Someone was going to put the Cattle. Some people went to
the sheep, and some people went to work under the Bun. Not much longer,
the children also got up, and every household also smoked, and the whole
village became active.
However,
I don’t know when the villagers are no longer feeding chickens and raising
pigs. The family has to buy eggs on the market. So, what kind of eggs, the
soil pork has become popular. However, I thought that what I was eating
now was the authentic earth eggs, the soil pork, Chou-Gu was dumbfounded.
"I
am afraid it is more noisy." Ning-Er laughed. When I think of a dozen
chickens and a dozen ducks in my family, and three small piglets, he feels more
energetic. In the future, there will be eggs that can't be eaten at home.
You don't have to buy money if you want to eat an egg now. The most
important thing is that the three piglets have grown up and can be returned for
a few Silver Taels.
"This
is noisy. You haven't seen three or five children at home. It's noisy when you
cry." Chou-Gu laughed.
Chickens
and ducks are just a little bit of a random moment, and the pigs are fed and
will not be called. Children can be different, and they will make trouble
from time to time. Especially for the poor, you eat two more. He has
nothing to take, he has to cry, the Darens are annoyed, and he gets a slap in
the palm of his hand, so from time to time, some people play the dog and the
dog jumps. The child cries the trio.
"There
are a lot of children at home, it’s so lively. What are the children
crying?" Ning-Er did not agree. He does not hate children crying, of
course, the premise is that children are not unreasonable, they are crying, and
children who are not good. In the past, he still had a little sister.
"Yes.
Which child is not crying. Cry and cry is more lively." Master is very
much in favor of Ning-Er.
Chou-Gu
listened secretly and funnyly. I didn't expect Ning-Er to be like a
fire-breathing person. He really liked children. However, she also
understands that ancient people like to have many children. But she is
used to the situation of modern people only child, but she has forgotten the
environment she is in now.
Several
people talked and laughed, and when they got up, they felt that time passed
faster.
After
a few days, Chou-Gu began to fertilize the Ning family to the high-lying land.
To be honest, she had no good fertilizer except for her own toilet and the dung
of the donkey. The two families used the animals to pull a few manures
into the ground. After adding water to dilute them, they fertilized the Sorghum
seedlings one by one.
Ning-Er
was doing this for the first time. Chou-Gu was afraid that he would be
uncomfortable. After all, it was stinky and dirty. When I thought that he
was just frowning, he did it without a word. Everyone carried a small
bucket, and after playing a bucket of fertilizer, they took a small ladle and
poured it.
Everyone
is the same, even Minger does not fall, but he has less fertilizer.
However,
the two populations are not many, and they have not had time to raise more
poultry. The accumulated fertilizer is certainly not enough for five acres of
land. In fact, it is not because both of them have big animals, let alone
pouring half of the land, that is, an acre of land is afraid that it will not
be poured.
Sure
enough, when the work is done, it will only give half of the field.
"What should I do?" Ning-Er
asked Chou-Gu.
“Try
it again with some ash,” Chou-Gu said. She has no choice but to watch the
other seedlings not fertilize. Anyway, the ash can also be used as a
fertilizer, but the effect is definitely not as good as manure. It is
better to use grass ash than to completely.
"She,
it can only be like this." Ning-Er is even more difficult. He did not
understand farming, and he had not paid attention to this book before. Now
he wants to go back and find two books about farming.
Although
there are enough plants and ash, in order to have a good harvest, Chou-Gu wants
to go and decide to use some green fertilizer to slowly improve the soil of the
land. It is impossible to buy fertilizer here, and I can only slowly find
a solution. Otherwise, this Sorghum will be like the original owner, and it is
impossible to have a good harvest.
Some
time she fell in love with planting flowers on the balcony, but there was no
good soil in the place where she lived. The mud she had dug back from the
flower beds in the community and the flower beds outside was all sandwiched
with construction slag. It was put up in a few days and was not fat at
all. The flowers that come in are also good, the dishes are good, and they
are dry in a few days, and they are dying. To this end, she tried Taomi
water, tea water, egg shells, food, etc., but it did not have much effect.
To
this end, she found a large amount of information, knowing some methods used by
ancient people to lick green fertilizer. These green fertilizers are pure
organic fertilizers. Although they are not as effective as modern fertilizers
such as urea and fertilizers, they are very helpful for improving the soil, and
the effect is slower. And there are no side effects.
Therefore,
she intends to get some grass and other things, and then mix the pig manure and
other piles in the small pool, add water, and then dig some of the fat mud in
the river ditch, sealed on it. Let them smash and ferment in the pool and
turn into fertilizer.
Or
mix the grass leaves and other things with the fine soil, manure, and other
things. After stacking, put a layer of thin mud and seal them, let them ferment
and rot into fertilizer. Either way, it takes a long time, one or two
months, or even a break in the middle and then shredded.
She
told Ning-Er to listen to it. Ning-Er said with surprise and excitement : "Great, you know so much." He is
also suffering from a headache.
Chou-Gu
took a moment and quickly found a reason, saying : "I also listened to the villagers."
Although
the villagers do indeed fertilize the crops, the specific method of composting
varies from person to person. Where does she know how others got it, and she
has never seen it before. Just Ning-Er, Master or Master, neither of them
understands this. See Chou-Gu head is the road, and then combine with the usual
Chou-Gu to do something, I thought she really understands Naturally, she is
listening to her.
Instead,
Chou-Gu himself said : "In
fact, I just know that I have to do this. I really haven’t moved, I don’t know
if I can’t succeed.”
"Nothing,
slowly explore it. Not afraid." Ning-Er quickly comforted
her. Anyway, he now understands that as long as Chou-Gu can say it, she
will not be able to do it.
Therefore,
they dug two pits in the field, and at the same time they began to collect
materials to build houses.
The
busy days have been exceptionally fast, and the time has come to the end of
April. Everyone is not willing to relax by fertilizing water and weeding, and
most of the time is busy in the field. Hard work pays off, and the Sorghum
of Ning-Er and Chou-Gu family has grown
to more than two feet tall. It is much more beautiful than the stilts of
other places.
However,
very few people in this land will come here, and they have not attracted
everyone attention. Not even a few people knew that they bought the
land. People who know are not concerned. Anyway, the famous thin
field, but also remote, really nothing, no one is rare.
No
one bothered, and a few people are more comfortable working here. I want
to know how to get it, and I am not afraid of others talking about
it. Chou-Gu also hopes that no one knows, she just tried the book knowledge
in her mind to see if she can increase the output.
When
they set up a room with about twenty square feet, they also went to the day
when the spring flowers were married.
At
this time, all the crops were planted, and the work in the fields was done very
well. The weather is starting to heat up, just in time. The villagers
also have time to help. After all, it’s a village. If you do anything,
everyone will come to help and send some happy money.
Every
household is giving money to the Jiang family. Chou-Gu lets Minger quietly go
to the kitten and asks directly : "What
gift did your family send? Have others sent multiple gifts?"
She
simply doesn't understand these people feelings. I don't know how much I should
pay for it. If the Jiang family is still so close to the Wu family, it
doesn't matter if the ceremony is heavy, but now she only wants to be the most
common neighbor of the Jiang family. This ceremony is about the same as
everyone. No more, no bad.
The
kitten was like a bag to inquire. She told her very well : "My family sent ten dollars. Most of the
other people are also ten eight-dollar gifts, and that each family will send
some rice dishes. And the village chief sent a piece of cloth."
“Why
are you sending rice?” Chou-Gu asked, she knew very well that she could
understand the money. She could understand why she would send food in the past.
"Doing
a happy event, there are more people coming to eat, afraid that the main family
is not enough food." The kitten said that he did not agree.
In
this year, every household is poor. No family has enough food to accommodate a
large number of relatives and friends. If you are poor, you can't do happy
things and don't eat for relatives and friends. But there are more people,
and eating is not a bit more. It takes a few pounds of food for a
meal. Therefore, everyone will take a little food and vegetables in the
past, the conditions are good, and the close-knit people still have to take
some of the past, such as chicken, duck and fish, to help the main family to
support the face.
In
short, a person in the same village will lend a helping hand. Only in this
way, the next time you work in your home, others can help you this
way. Chou-Gu didn’t know at all that when her father did something, the
villagers came to take the money and get the food. However, after the
completion of the incident, Jiang Madam did not mention this.
She
now thinks about it. There may be very few people who come to pick up the money
at the time. And because there is not much food in her family, things go
out of the way, and the people who handle the matter take the money on the spot
to buy some things that are needed for food or funeral. In short, she had
no memory at all, and she did not leave anything afterwards.
But
since there is this custom in the local, she has to abide by it. So, Chou-Gu
took ten dollars to seal it, and took two pheasants and two pounds of brown
rice to send Minger to Jiang's house. The kitten accompanied the Minger.
“Hey,
what did the Chou-Gu home send?”
The
arrival of Minger will naturally make everyone talk. After all, it is not
good to say that the two previous relationships, plus Chou-Gu is not earning
much now. Jiang Chunhua is also very good for her, so there are many people who
watch the lively.
Jiang,
who has been busy, has widened her ears. She wants to know what Minger has sent
for the first time. She is still looking forward to Chou-Gu to add some makeup
to Chunhua.
Minger
sent gifts and hi money, and did not say anything. He was the first to
deal with this kind of thing, although it was superficially superficial, but it
was only a child. If there were any kittens on the side, I was afraid that
it would be more tense. When everyone was joking, he still had a red face.
"Two
pheasants have two pounds of food, ten dollars." The person who
specializes in collecting things ‘Calls loudly.
The
ceremony is not heavy, it is light. It is said that the two pheasants are
worth fifty or sixty dollars. Gifts from other people generally do not
exceed ten dollars. But let's say it is light, it can be counted. After
all, when Jiang Chunhua ordered a relative, Wu Hunter had sent a bright cloth
that could be used as a wedding dress. The cloth was worth at least one hundred
yuan. That is to say, the Jiang family does not have to prepare a wedding dress
for Jiang Chunhua. This piece of cloth can sew a beautiful new wedding dress
for Jiang Chunhua. But in the dark, he must have sent something
else. Everyone knows it well.
The
most important thing is that Wu Hunter said at the time of everyone, Chunhua is
like his daughter, meaning that he will prepare a dowry for Jiang Chunhua.
Since he opened this mouth, he will definitely be prepared. Therefore,
there are still many people waiting to see this dowry, although Wu Hunter is no
longer there.
However,
Chou-Gu only let Minger send ten dollars, and everyone is similar, the meaning
is very clear, and the two families will only walk as ordinary neighbors in the
future. The two pheasants are all ignored, although their value is much
higher than ten dollars.
But
in the eyes of everyone, the pheasant Chou-Gu is more, and the pheasant is
coming over, just to make the banquet look a little better. After all, to
have a happy event to entertain friends and family, or to get two more
dishes. With Jiang Madam temper, where she will feast her guests, it must
be awkward and fooling the past.
There
are few people who have such an idea, so someone from the village who has a
close relationship with Jiang has also sent a chicken. Some people have
sent some eggs over. In short, everyone is trying their best to help the
Jiang family finish this happy event. Do not let the outsiders see jokes.
"Don't
add something to Chunhua?" Someone said gossip.
"The
second lieutenant said, Chou-Gu has a child to raise a home, where there is a
skill to add dowry to Chunhua." Someone interrupted her and quickly spoke
for Chou-Gu.
"But
the Wu hunter said that she would give the dowry to Chunhua. You don't want to
think about what dowry she can make for her, and wait for the man to carry the
dowry. If there is nothing, what would people say?" Someone said
anxiously.
She
has already seen what the dowry that Jiang Madam took to Jiang Chunhua. It
was a dilapidated wooden box, or a dowry when Chunhuani was married. Jiang Madam
didn't know when to renovate it with red paint. But the box was not filled
at all, and even the bed quilt did not give spring flowers.
What
about other people homes, you have to give your children some pots and pans,
quilts and what. Although they are all cheap goods, even the old ones are
new, but there is also a pile of looks. People with good conditions can
also get a big object, such as a chest of drawers.
The
most important thing is that Jiang Madam also received the gift of Liu Jiasan
Silver Taels. According to the usual practice, the bride price is to
prepare the dowry for the woman. You can drop some, but you can't get rid of
it. People who love their daughters will also add some. Three Silver
Taels, you can do a lot of things, there is no such thing as a valuable item.
The
box prepared by Jiang Madam was too shabby to be empty. It was a couple of new
shoes, two old clothes, and the cloth that the village chief daughter had just
sent today was the best thing. Other small pieces, Jiang Madam, are not
prepared.
If
you let Chunhuaguang go out today, it will spread to several nearby villages
tomorrow, and Jiang Wucun will marry Miss, and even the bride price will be
swallowed up. In the future, who would dare to marry Miss Jiang in the village.
Therefore,
everyone is anxious, and some people can't help but ask Jiang Madam : "When Liu gave the three Silver Taels
dowry, how can you accompany a Silver Taels dowry? How do you let Chunhua a new
wife how to be at home? Straight up."
"Where
do I have silver, I have spent five or two for Da-nu , and I have used it three
or two long ago. I have spent all my years of savings, and now I can’t get it.
The grievances are spent." Jiang Madam said in disapproval.
She
didn't care about the face of the village. Anyway, her family had a daughter in
the spring, and Chunhua had already been very dissatisfied with her. In the
future, she wouldn't have been able to get any spring flowers. Where would she
manage the spring flowers and marry the past? .
Everyone
listened to her saying that she had nothing to say. She couldn’t force her to
buy anything now. The village chief’s person made a look. Several women rushed
up and wanted to put the spring flowers on the cover. Packed up and taken
away. The old is better than nothing. What's more, Chunhua has two
old and new clothes, which are also a fool.
Where
do you know that these better clothes have been picked up by Jiang Madam, and
there is nothing left in the room of Jiang Chunhua, and there is no use at
all. Everyone looked and took a breath of air, and they didn't know what
to say.
"Too
much. Spring flowers this child is really worthless, for this family tired and
tired, nothing was done." Some people on the spot for the spring
flowers. Chunhua reputation in the village is quite good. People are
honest and diligent, and they are also good. They are a favorite child.
"Yes.
Usually used by spring flowers, let her take it away. She is not a few Mei-mei
underneath, but also waiting to pick up the old." Some people said
puzzled.
"Oh,
it must have been reserved for Da-nu daughter-in-law." Someone
sneered. The door that Da-nu ordered was already spread all over. Everyone
knows that the family is waiting to get a big price for her daughter, and she
will definitely not give her any dowry in the future.
"No,
take the five Silver Taels dowry and you can't give two clothes?" Someone
couldn't believe it. It doesn't cost much to sew an ordinary coarse
cloth. Five Silver Taels can buy piles of coarse cloth.
"You
only look at it. Anyway, the new daughter-in-law will enter the door at the end
of this year. Da-nu . Doesn't that kid like a handsome wife? I don't know what
it is like to be married in the future?"
"That is, Chou-Gu is so good, how
can it be done, a small Miss family can hold up a home, and the family is still
eating meat. In the future, whoever married her, she is married to a wealth god
Niang-Niang. He actually I still don't see Chou-Gu, and I don't see what is
happening in my family."
"You
said that in the future, Jiang Da-nu will regret it and regret it with
Chou-Gu." This person is completely joke-conscious.
A few
women worked and talked hotly, and did not expect Jiang Da-nu to hear it on one
side.
Jiang
Da-nu picks up a bunch of water and deliberately coughs. Several women have
quickly stopped their mouths, and some of them have shifted the subject.
Jiang
Da-nu walked away, and Minger appeared again with amazement. The kitten
behind him is obviously overwhelmed. He had heard about this gossip in the
past, but when he was young, he didn't see any reaction from Chou-Gu, but it
was just a joke. Where did you know that the exact results were heard from
these women today? In the past, Chou-Gu and Da-nu really had a marriage contract. Obviously
everyone knows.
Although
Ming is young, she has grown up a lot after experiencing so many things. When I
think about it, I know why my sister is not coming to Jiang. The daring is
because the Jiang family repented. He was so angry that his face was
flushed, his hands and feet started to shake, and he wanted to say something.
The kitten took him away with great flexibility.
All
the women looked at the back of Ming’s kitten, and they were embarrassed. Some
people worried that : “The
child will not go back to find his mother to make trouble?”
As
long as everyone thought of it, his mother-in-law, the beautiful girl, could
actually mention Wang-Aunt in one hand, and it was very uncomfortable, for fear
that the woman came over today.
"Hurry
up and call the village chief's house." Someone said.
"Yeah,
yeah. It's a real thing, but it doesn't look good." Someone was anxious,
and she left the work in her hand to find the village chief’s person.
The
village chief's daughter-in-law hurried over and heard the words of their
mouths, and their faces were distorted. They whispered and asked : "I have said that you should not mention
this matter again. Why do you mention this again? It’s a thing."
"We
are just a few words of gossip. When I think of it, I will let Minger hear it.
The child is so angry that he can fight." Someone said slyly.
"Hey,
if something happened today, I will ask you. If someone in the village talks
about it later, don't blame me for being polite." The village chief’s
person said with hatred.
"Don't
dare, no more dare." Several women ‘Called.
"What
should I do now?" Someone was afraid to ask the village chief
daughter-in-law.
"What
can I do? I can only say hello to Chou-Gu in advance." The village chief’s
person said with hatred, and went to Chou-Gu house. When something happens
when you have a happy event, you will really know what it is.
The
arrival of the village chief’s person was very surprised by Chou-Gu. She
quickly called the village chief’s person : "Big Aunt, is there anything?"
"Is
the child coming back?" The village chief's daughter smiled.
"No,
what happened to him?" Chou-Gu asked anxiously.
"No,
nothing. It was just that I saw him go to the Jiang family to give gifts, and
asked casually." The village chief’s person sighed with a sigh of relief
and said.
"Oh.
It might be playing with the kittens." Chou-Gu smiled.
"Well,
come over, Aunt has something to say to you." The village chief’s person
took Chou-Gu and kissed her warmly to the outside. She didn't dare to let
her mother hear the contents of her conversation. Although Chou-Gu mother
is completely ignorant of things, she does not necessarily stand by and watch
this big event.
Chou-Gu
looked at her strangely and secretly recalled what happened during this time.
She didn't know what she was going to talk about.
The
village chief’s daughter-in-law was silent for a while before she said, “Chou-Gu,
you are a child. I don’t want to make a circle. Let’s just say, I’ve heard a
few women chewing their tongues and saying Da-nu Repent and your affair. Minger is very
angry." She threw things out and wanted to see how Chou-Gu would handle
it.
Chou-Gu
took a moment to deliberately pretend not to understand : "I have a relationship with Da-nu , I
don't know? Didn't he book a relative last year?"
Two
sentences almost didn’t let the village chief’s person die to death. After a
while, I smiled and said : “I’m
talking about a few women chewing their tongues. What they said, it’s not that
you two walked before. Get close."
She
did not expect that Chou-Gu was so simple to push two or six five, completely
nothing. People simply don't recognize this. However, she turned her
head and thought that Chou-Gu is so capable now, and close to
Ning-County-Graduate, I am afraid I can't really get Da-nu . Besides, the
environment of Jiang’s home is really not a good place to go.
"When
you get close, you will pass this kind of words. Isn't this bad my reputation?
Big Aunt, you have to be in charge. Next time I hear this again, I have to ask
them what is the reason? Father is gone, personally dare to break my
reputation, is this trying to force me to die?" Chou-Gu was furious, she
sneered a few times, staring at the village chief’s person, saying word by
word.
Chou-Gu
came out at this moment, and the overwhelming hatred made the village chief’s
person feel helpless.
She
quickly said : "There
is absolutely no next time. I have already taught them."
Chou-Gu
stared at her, like a hungry wolf, and looked straight at the village chief’s
person who had a cold sweat, and said coldly : “If I can’t live without it, then everyone
will die together.”
The
village chief’s person was so frightened that she made an exclamation and said,
“What are you talking about?”
"Big
Aunt, you can say this to the village chief Dabo. If I hear any more words in
the future, I don't know what I can do." Chou-Gu said, kicking off the
roadside A small tree with a thick arm.
Although
it is only a small tree, but this force, this moment of murderous murder, but
the village chief daughter knows that Chou-Gu is not a joke, she repeatedly
promised : "Sure
will not, no one will ever Said indiscriminately."
"That's
good." Chou-Gu said that she would stop talking to her and turned back to
the house.
