Rebirth of farming for a living

The stove at home is almost finished, and the aprons and sleeves in the house are also ready.Li Xiangdong and Li Xiangbei put the big pot on and they were done.

Li Qiuyan narrowed his eyes with joy and asked his grandparents to come in and sit down. Then he went to the kitchen to watch Mr. Wang cooking.

Mr. Wang had already steamed the steamed buns. Li Qiuyan saw that the pig meat was almost ready, so he suggested fishing some pig meat and mixing it with cucumbers and wine, and then getting some vegetables to make a small stew pot, and the remaining sauerkraut and meat to make sauerkraut white meat. That's about it.The big pot was full and it was no longer so delicate. I specially fried peanuts for Lao Litou to go with it.

Li Qiuyan moved his own small kang table, and the whole family sat down at two tables.

The food is delicious and the wine is delicious.After eating and drinking, Lao Litou drank too much.

"It'll be fine if the whole family lives like this every day." Old Li Tou muttered.The atmosphere at the table was lively.

Then, the eldest uncle and the second uncle drank too much.

After sending these people away with a black look on her face, Li Qiuyan was too tired to clean up. Too many things happened today, and she was also tired.

Wang, on the other hand, kept cleaning up all the way and humming a song.Li Qiuyan asked: "Mom, you are so happy today."

"Of course I'm happy. We are making progress. By the way, what are you going to do in that mountain?" Wang asked.

"Well, I want to grow honeysuckle and fungus." Li Qiuyan said lazily, "So Dad, you should get better soon and help me. I will buy you better wine after making money."

Li Xiangnan felt soft in his heart after hearing this. At the dinner table tonight, everyone praised Li Qiuyan, and also praised him for his good teaching. Although the injury was not completely healed, he only drank a little, and he couldn't describe the feeling of being tipsy. The one who was a little drunk was the one who was praised, but he was still drunk: "Don't worry, dad is fine, let dad take care of everything."

After hearing Li Xiangnan's heroic words, the whole family laughed.Awang poked Li Xiangnan's red face in an odd way, covered his mouth and laughed.

Li Qiuyan added: "By the way, Mom and Dad, Awang is not young anymore. I want to send him to school next spring." Li Qiuyan has thought about this for a long time. He didn't have the conditions before, but now his family can make some money. She certainly didn't want to delay Awang.

When Awang heard this, his eyes widened suddenly and he said, "I don't want to study."

Li Qiuyan was surprised: "Why?" Awang poked his finger in embarrassment. He knew that his family was very poor and could not afford to study.

Li Qiuyan advised: "Awang, my sister asked you to study, not to make you achieve great achievements. Only by reading and writing can you learn the truth. When the time comes, we will write the contract, and you can write it, right?" Wang was still hesitant, but he also envied people who could read.

Wang and Li Xiangnan looked at each other, feeling a little guilty. "You have to study, okay. Our Ngawang is so smart, we will definitely learn it." Wang concealed her sadness and coaxed Ngawang.

"Yes, if Awang studies, we won't have to find anyone else to write a contract." Li Xiangnan also smiled.

Awang closed his eyes and nodded.Li Qiuyan pinched Awang's little face and laughed.

After his family bought a mountain land and started a pickled vegetable business, Li Qiuyan felt that life was becoming more promising.

Early the next morning, before Wang went out, the eldest aunt and the second aunt came with the summer solstice and winter snow.

After briefly talking about the production method, a few people put on aprons and got busy.Cutting into shreds and blanching, it was a busy time.

Dongxue is still young and slow to cut, so she spends most of her time lighting fires. Anyway, the three of them earn money together, so no one will care about it that much.After a busy morning, I pickled almost 30 to [-] kilograms. The eldest uncle marinated more than [-] kilograms by herself, and the rest belonged to the second uncle and her family.

Maybe it was because they were unskilled at the beginning, but in the afternoon, a few people became faster. By the end of the day, they had lost almost [-] kilograms.

Seeing that it was getting a little late, Li Qiuyan didn't stay much longer, so he let a few people go back first.

Wang, on the other hand, told Li Qiuyan after returning home that she had not seen Li Xiangbei at the dock for the past two days, and she felt a little uneasy.

Li Qiuyan told her fourth aunt that she was seriously upset, but Wang didn't say anything.

After dinner, Wang told Li Qiuyan that she wanted to visit her fourth aunt, picked up two pig trotters, and headed to Li Xiangbei's house.

The fourth aunt is awake today, but she looks very haggard.

Mrs. Wang held Mrs. Zhou's hand distressedly. Their sisters-in-law were getting along very well. She had been so busy recently that she didn't notice that her siblings had become so thin.

"What's going on? Can't you eat?" Wang asked.

Li Xiangbei sighed: "It was better before. During this period, I couldn't eat anything, so I just wanted to eat something sour. The last time I bought candied haws, my mother scolded her when she saw it, saying that pregnant women can't eat hawthorn. I eat it every day. Just vomiting, isn’t that because I’m losing weight?”

Mrs. Zhou burst into tears: "Sister-in-law, I don't blame Xiang Bei. I can't eat anything these days. I just want to eat something sour."

Li Qiuyan's heart moved. His family happened to be in the pickled cabbage business.Then he smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, you are serious. Tell me what the fourth aunt wants to eat, and I will think of a way. You don't know yet, but I called the uncle and the others over yesterday to build a stove and I am in the pickled cabbage business. It will feel better tomorrow, so you can go over and give it to Aunt Four tomorrow."

Li Xiangbei opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Qiuyan could also run a pickled cabbage business while doing braised pork business.

He asked doubtfully: "Sauerkraut can be pickled in one day? Can this thing be sold?"

Li Qiuyan said with a smile: "I have signed a contract with Yipinxuan. I wanted to ask you to go there with me yesterday. I thought you had been busy at the dock all day, so I just asked you to go to dinner. You didn't go, so naturally you didn't know this. ”

Li Xiangbei couldn't explain how he felt. Li Qiuyan was smarter than he imagined.He said nonchalantly: "Your fourth aunt hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so I haven't gone to work on the dock. Sister-in-law, are you busy enough to come over?"

Wang smiled and said, "Although it's a bit busy, it's not bad. They are all regular customers."

Mrs. Zhou also felt guilty and said, "It's all my failure. Xiangbei can't help you and can't do the work."

Li Qiuyan's heart moved, but without saying anything, he and Mrs. Wang persuaded Mrs. Zhou, chatted for a while, and then went home with Mrs. Wang.
