The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1373 [1372] Canned food (3000)

There is only one river in ten miles and eight villages, and there are no mountains around it. If you look around, it is all plains. The fish, shrimps and crabs in this river can be lucky to bump into a few times, but you can catch people as well. Who is not short of meat these days?
They all want to get some meat to go home to improve their food, so even if they can be caught, they are still very small, let alone pheasants and hares, the chances are like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, which is very rare!

However, in winter, if you can master the skills of trapping rabbits in the snow like a hunter, the chances can be greatly increased.

When her mother came home with a hoe, and her hair was sticky and wet on her scalp after taking off the straw hat, she was still distressed, and hurriedly passed the cool white that she had prepared a long time ago: "Why are you sweating so much? Are you tired today? ?”

"Well, I dug the canal for a long time today, watered it for the last time before the autumn harvest, and pulled out the weeds in the ground before watering the ground. Oh, my waist can hardly straighten up. I'm too tired. I'll lie down first. Later, eat later."

Ding Wei hurriedly gave one of the cakes she baked to her mother. Zhao Qingqing took a bite and turned to look at her daughter.

"My dear mother, you know how to bake leek boxes? I'm really not qualified to be a mother. I don't even know when you learned so many martial arts, let alone my daughter cook at home and serve us."

Ding Wei directly put the credit on her grandparents. When she heard that her own mother taught her, Zhao Qingqing looked at her daughter with deep emotion.

"It's really not easy for you to learn from your grandma. When I was learning, I didn't suffer less. The taste is really good. My daughter has grown up. Mom is so happy to have a sensible daughter like you!"

Zhao Qingqing just entered the house here, but the elder brothers over there are back from school. The second elder brother is studying in junior high school in the county town and lives in school, so he doesn't go home, so only the third and fourth brothers go home. The younger sister is in the Yuhong class. Three meals a day are eaten at school, and my father eats at work at noon, so there are only four of them eating at home.

She put the food on the table, and her brothers finished washing. After eating a pancake, Zhao Qingqing felt refreshed and sat down on the stone table in the yard, but she hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of the meal yet. , an aunt from the grandpa's (grandpa's brother) family ran over panting, looking very anxious, and scared my mother enough: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister and sister, your elder brother passed out just now. Mr. Ma from the production team saw it and sent him to the county hospital as soon as possible. But my family has just done something. How can I have any money? I don't have the cheek to ask my younger brother to borrow it."

When Zhao Qingqing heard this, her eyes flickered obviously, her face was a bit hesitant, she didn't seem to want to go out to borrow money, but her mother was not the kind of cruel person, guessing there must be some reason why she didn't want to lend them.

Seeing that her mother was not easy to speak, Ding Wei tugged on the aunt's sleeve slightly: "Auntie, my mother has just been discharged from the hospital, so I still borrowed the money!"

The aunt was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly glanced at Zhao Qingqing, "Sister and sister, this..."

Mother nodded accordingly: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't lend it to you, it's that I still borrow a lot of money. You also know that my family has many children and costs a lot. My mother paid..."

Before the mother could finish speaking, the smile on the aunt's face suddenly closed, and even her face became a little ugly.

"Okay, brother and sister, since this is the case, I will go to someone else's house to have a look again, you guys can eat, don't delay."

When the aunt left, Ding Wei took advantage of the opportunity to close the door of the house, and when she walked to the stone table, her mother only said a few words, and the brothers and sisters understood everything.

"A few days ago, her two sons got involved in gambling for some reason. They just got married, had nothing at home, and owed them a lot of money. I'm afraid your uncle is fainted from anger, don't blame mom for being cruel, she can't borrow money."

Anyone who is contaminated with gambling is not easy to borrow. If there is one, there will be two. If there is two, it will be a bottomless pit. The money borrowed will definitely be in vain.

Of course, it's more than that, because: "Before her two children got married, they had already borrowed ten yuan from our family. The ten yuan has been around for two or three years now, but they don't even mention it. As the saying goes, It’s easy to borrow and repay, and it’s not difficult to borrow again. If the previous debt has not been repaid, how dare I borrow it again, and I have children and daughters to support.”

This time she said that uncle fainted, who knows if it was real or fake, anyway, no one's money came from the strong wind, since she, Zhao Qingqing, is in charge of the family's money, she has to be responsible to the old and young in the family.

Mother doesn't have steamed stuffed buns, and she doesn't know the Holy Mother. As a child, she is very relieved. At least Ding Wei doesn't think there is anything wrong with what her mother did.

Not long after, the two aunts also came over, a pair of sisters-in-law and sister-in-law, they all said the same thing, the second aunt laughed even more.

"I saw that brother Shuanzi was fine in the morning, but he passed out at noon? No one in the village has heard of it. I guess it might be fooling us and trying to borrow money!"

"That's right, I think so. I borrowed five yuan from my family a year ago, and I haven't paid it back yet. I won't be fooled this time."

The third aunt then echoed a few words. Ding Wei was going to clean the pot and wash the dishes, but the two brothers rushed to do it. After all, she was busy cooking, so she was sent back to the house to rest for a while, just in time to hear her mother and the two Aunt said it.

When my father came back at night, when my mother talked about it, my father looked at her with an indescribable expression, so scared that my mother asked quickly.

"Don't tell me you lent them money."

Dad blurted out: "Where can I do it? I don't have any money in my hand. Where can I borrow it? I just want to say that my elder brother is fine. As soon as I entered the village, Da Ben from my third uncle's family ran over and told me about it." Son, he also said that my elder brother didn’t faint at all, he just wanted to borrow money and people refused to lend it, so he had to use this method, but in the end, no one borrowed it, and the more he thought about it in the afternoon, the more angry he became, and he lay sick in bed It's crooked, I didn't even go to work, I'm afraid I'm angry."

Mother curled her lips: "Angry? There will be more time to be angry in the future. Let their family love to take advantage of it and see what the two sons have become. They ran around and came back with a bad habit, and it is due to the bad habits that the two of them picked up after marriage. If it was before marriage, look at which girl would dare to marry them."

Mom was glad that they didn't borrow money to go out: "The ten yuan, I'm afraid it's a waste of time, no, I have to find a way to find them to get it out later, why not, ten yuan is enough for me to work for many days, Let this family take advantage of it for no reason, and I panicked."

"Okay, okay, I'm so busy talking about this, what good things do you think I brought back?"

Dad took out two cans of yellow peaches in glass bottles from his army green bag at work every day. When he saw the cans, my mother's eyes lit up.

Even Ding Wei and Ding Jianshu, who had just brought the meal into the room, were stunned, but the third brother reacted quickly and ran over excitedly to look at Ding Zhenlong.

"Canned yellow peaches are still in glass bottles, Dad, where did they come from? I heard that the canned food costs one yuan and two dollars a bottle!"

The color of the yellow peaches is very beautiful. A large jar contains seven or eight yuan and a half peaches, plus a bottle full of sugar water. Just looking at it makes you salivate.

Although Ding Wei came from modern times, she hasn't eaten any good things, but she has been here for several years, and the meat is delicious, let alone the fruit?
Not to mention the alluring yellow peach pulp, and the clear and beautiful sugar water, it's really super attractive, okay?

Immediately, the noodles that had just been rolled didn't feel fragrant anymore, and all four children gathered around, even Ding Xiang squeezed Ding Wei's hand to the front, for fear that there would be too many people standing behind and couldn't eat, That gluttonous appearance really makes people laugh and cry.

Ding Wei felt that she was so good-for-nothing, that she would be silently swallowed by two cans of yellow peaches.

In fact, why is it her? Even my parents think it is a rare item. Canned fruit in this era, let alone a rarity for rural people, even in the city, is also a high-end gift for visiting relatives and friends, especially these two large bottles of canned yellow peaches , a can must weigh at least two catties, and it looks like a real thing.

Thinking about it this way, after Ding Wei came to this life, because of family reasons, it seems that she really didn't pay much attention to snacks other than food. When you can't eat enough, who wants to think about other things?
This is not the same as peach cakes, because they don’t have peaches like yellow peaches at all, and people who can buy canned yellow peaches are not ordinary people. At least she is in the supply and marketing cooperative here. I have seen canned yellow peaches in glass bottles.

The mother couldn't help laughing when she saw the eager eyes of the children.

"Little greedy cats, are you hungry? His father, what are you doing in a daze, pry it open, let the children satisfy their greed, by the way, where did this come from?"

"Today, I volunteered to solve a big problem in the factory's machinery and saved a lot of maintenance costs for the factory. The factory manager rewarded me, saying that it was just sent by his comrades, and it was cheaper for me. By the way, If you keep this bottle, you can refund [-] cents for each one, and if you take it to the supply and marketing cooperative, they will take this bottle."

My mother looked at the strong glass bottle with a look of surprise: "This bottle of pickled chili sauce is good, sell it for whatever, let's keep it for the sauce."

Dad naturally listened to his daughter-in-law, "Okay, whatever you say is what you say, pickles are pickles, I will open the can now, by the way, how many bottles?"

Mom subconsciously picked up the other bottle and walked into her room.

"One bottle is not enough, and open two bottles? Keep this bottle, and open it again when the second child comes back."

Ding Wei was amused by her mother's cute behavior. When her father was prying the cans with scissors, she hurried to the kitchen to get some clean bowls.

When Dad opened the can, the tangy aroma made him swallow subconsciously.

"This peach is really tempting. Don't say the children are greedy, I think it's delicious just looking at it."
