The cicadas chirp one after another on summer nights, and the summer at this time is not as hot as in modern times, but rather a cool breeze that blows away the fatigue of the day, which is very comfortable.People like to sit under the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village after tea and dinner, chatting until the sleepiness gradually rises, and then they go to sleep.There was a knock on the courtyard door, and the Lu family, who was already about to fall asleep, opened the door and saw the two sisters-in-law He who were planting two acres of land in their family standing outside."
That, Fang Hai, I have something to talk to you about with your brother He" Sister-in-law He rubbed her hands back and forth, with a restrained smile on her face."
Oh, Brother He, Sister-in-law He, come in."
Lu Fanghai let people go home, and called Du Wenxiu to come out with a stool.Boss He followed behind his daughter-in-law, bowed his head, and did not speak.Sister-in-law He turned around and bumped him with her elbow, and when she saw that he was still silent, she smiled awkwardly at Du Wenxiu."
Sister-in-law He, what's the matter with coming so late, we are not outsiders, just say it directly."
Du Wenxiu saw that they seemed to have something unspeakable, and took the initiative to say.Sister-in-law He laughed dryly, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "That's the case, Fang Hai, Xiuniang, don't you see that we are planting your family's land, we haven't come to sit much since Fang Hai came back, and we haven't discussed with you what the next charter is."
It's just that winter wheat is going to be planted soon, so I'll think about it with the owner, why don't I come and ask you what you think?
”Du Wenxiu and Lu Fanghai glanced at each other, probably understanding what Sister-in-law He meant.In the past, Lu Fanghai was not at home, and the Lu family's land was gradually sold, and the remaining two acres were planted for the He sister-in-law's family, and some rations were handed over to the Lu family every quarter, so that the orphans and widows could stutter.Now that Lu Fanghai is back, the Lu family has strong labor, and they are afraid that they will take back the seeds themselves, and the Lu family will take it back, so they simply come over and ask clearly before making plans."
Sister-in-law He, I was not at home a few years ago, and my mother and sister at home were weak and couldn't go to the field, and thanks to you planting some harvests, they came over, and I want to thank you for this.""
Hey, it's all from the same village, this is what we should do, what are we talking about."
Sister-in-law He said straight."
In the past six months, I have gone into the mountains with Qiu Yong, hunted prey and came back to sell, and it was also a livelihood, what I mean, you are still planting these two acres of land at home, let's still come as before, just earn a ration.If the harvest is not good, let's talk about it.Do you think that's okay?
”"Okay, so that we have a number in our hearts, and when the harvest is good, we will pay more to your family."
Sister-in-law He immediately smiled when she heard this, and couldn't stop nodding.The two of them just summed up at home, this kind of seed went to the ground, and when the time came, the Lu family wanted to take back the field and plant it from the family, the seeds can be counted as money, they are all from the same village, how can they ask for the price of their own work, even if they are counted by others, they still feel that they are losing.The more Sister-in-law He thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and pulled Boss He, who was unwilling to move, over.Now that he has won the quasi-letter, the big stone in his heart has also been put down, regardless of the retention of Lu Fanghai and his family, he said that it is too late, and he will go down to the ground tomorrow, and he will go back immediately.A few days later, Sister-in-law He loaded a few catties of soybeans, turned in and put them in the yard when she passed by the door of Lu's house, and ran away without looking back.Lu Fanghai also knew in his heart, after all these years, Boss He was able to take care of the crops, but he was afraid that the two acres of land that used to be poor land have now grown into fertile land, so it is better to let them keep planting, and they will not give anything less at home.What's more, during the years when they were away, Fang's mother and daughter also relied on them to plant the land and give some harvests, so that they could last until they went home.The Lu family wants to live a good life, but it is useless to rely on these two acres of land, and they are not good at farming.It's better to go into the mountains more, you are strong and strong, and hunting a few more rounds of game is better than watching the sky and eating.Du Wenxiu didn't take it seriously, but the soybeans sent by Sister-in-law He made her want to make soy beans.In the past, my family would make watermelon sauce beans every year, and the sauce beans made from the sand watermelon at the end of summer were stir-fried and sandwiched in steamed buns, which were too fragrant.But I've never heard of watermelons sold or grown here, so maybe they haven't been passed on yet.Anyway, since there are already soybeans at this time, you can try to make soy beans without watermelon first.In addition to drying the fungus and selling it to Hoi An Lou, now Du Wenxiu also stably supplies pickles to Hoi An Lou, although people at this time will also use the pickling method to make pickles to accompany the meal, but she can't stand the different tastes she makes, cucumbers and beans and garlic are pickled together, and there is another flavor, and it is crisp and refreshing, sweet and salty, and there is the fragrance of the ingredients.Although it is not the signature of Hoi An Building, it is also a feature as a side dish.For this reason, the shopkeeper of Hoi An Building raised the purchase price by 10%, and also told him not to cut off the supply.Du Wenxiu also began to buy a large number of cucumbers, beans, garlic and other small dishes suitable for pickles, and then added radishes.Most people still expect her to do well, except for Aunt Lu.Since that incident, Aunt Lu has been chattering all day long, seeing that everyone has said some light words that they have arranged to slander the Lu family, at the beginning, there were still people who should make up two sentences, and later everyone more or less had side dishes to sell to the Lu family, afraid that her casual words would reach the ears of Du Wenxiu's family, in line with the idea that more is better than less, every time I saw Aunt Lu, I walked around.In the past few months, every ten days, Lu Fanghai took Lao Yang'er's ox cart to send a few jars of pickles to the town, and many people were red-eyed, saying that the Lu family relied on Du Wenxiu's craftsmanship, and they were afraid that they would make a lot of money.There are also people who secretly poke and poke in front of the Fang family to say something that is not salty or light, it is nothing more than that the Fang family is now in a good life, the daughter-in-law can earn money to support the family, and she doesn't have to look at her grandson, it is the life of a rich idler.At the beginning, Fang's family would also accuse Sang and scold Huai when he went home, but when Du Wenxiu was tired of hearing it, he couldn't help but stab her, if he felt that there was too much money, he stopped the business, and everyone rested together.In addition, Lu Fanghai's brothers and sisters are also persuading him, isn't this day better than when he was hungry and hungry before?
Fang Clan had nothing to say.Later, the chickens raised by his own family began to lay eggs, and Du Wenxiu tried to make salt eggs and eggs, which were also supplied to Hoi An Lou, but because of the strange smell of the eggs, the people here still can't accept it, but it takes a certain amount of time to get used to it like fungus.Qiao'er has grown a lot in the past six months, her height has been smoky, her face is ruddy, she wears new clothes, ties up her red head rope, and is also a beautiful little girl.The Lu family, which was originally on the edge of the village, now has a discussion in the village, and the village chief will also specially call someone to come over and call Lu Fanghai.The days are booming, and the matchmaker has stepped on the door.Qiao'er is almost fourteen, it's time to talk about kissing.
