Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law
Chapter 87 Tian Xiuxiu’s decision
"Her land along the river is good, wide and flat, and the terrain is good. When it rained heavily in the past summer, others had to replant seedlings. Her land is not flooded at all. It grows better when it rains."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, she felt a little moved. She pulled down the money she had saved and had to give up the idea.
"She was reluctant to sell that field. What she was selling was three pieces of land and a few scattered pieces on Lin Zipo." Nian glanced at Liu Yu and said calmly.
After hearing what Nian said, Liu Yu understood that Sanjiedi and Linzipo were not far from the village, but the terrain was not good. It was rainy in summer, and the concave places were prone to water accumulation, and the high places were prone to erosion. Raising and fertilizing the fields is quite tiring.
"But the two pieces of land her family owns are pretty good. They are no worse than the entire land. The price she charges is not high. There are crops on the land that are given away for free all season. There are plenty of them that people want."
Nian waved his hand and didn't care much about what his grandson said about raising land and transporting fertilizer. These days, as long as the family is diligent and a few people come together, it takes two or three days to raise an acre of river mud and leaf mold. That’s it.
It was already getting late, so Nian ordered Liu Yu to go to the vegetable field and pull out two radishes, and then make a dough of multi-grain noodles. Let’s have a good fish soup today.
The fish pieces were almost marinated. The old lady scooped out half a bowl of flour and evenly coated the fish pieces with flour. Then she placed them on the chopping board and waited for the slightly dry flour to slowly join the fish pieces and become moist.
Nian took the cleaned radish from Liu Yu, washed the soil on it, and cut it into long strips with a knife. The radish strips were cut well, and the flour on the fish pieces was wet.
With such skill, Liu Yu had already fished out the cooked chestnuts from the pot.
Nian asked Changsheng to continue lighting the fire, while Liu Yu moved a small bench and sat aside to peel chestnuts. After the pot was dry and the oil was hot, Nian put the fish pieces in one by one.
The fish pieces dipped in flour were quickly fried until they were browned on both sides. Nian turned the fish pieces over and said, "Fry them until they are about 70% cooked. It is best to have some burnt flowers on them, so that the cooked fish soup will have a white flavor." fresh."
The two of them listened and took notes carefully. After the fish pieces were all browned, the old lady added onions, ginger, garlic and dried red peppers to the remaining oil in the pot.
"Explode some onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell, and fry the dried chili peppers in oil to make them more fragrant." When the onions, ginger, and garlic changed color, Nian added two ladles of water to the pot and rolled the noodles into pancakes. Stick a circle around the pot.
When the water in the pot was hot, Nian waited for a while before opening the pot, taking out the mixed flour pancakes, and then threw the fish pieces into the boiling water one by one. Soon, the water in the pot began to bubble with white bubbles again.
Finally, put in the cut radish strips, a few cleaned green onions, and salt. Guessing that the radish strips should be cooked, Nian told Changsheng to put down the heat.
Seeing that dinner was almost ready, Liu Yu put down the chestnuts in her hands and began to clear the table.
"Put the table next to the stove. It's warm and bright." Nian ordered Liu Yu to move the table and stools.
After a while, each of the four people held a bowl of freshly cooked fish soup in their hands. Liu Yu held a bowl full of fish, blew on it gently, and took a sip of the soup first.
The soup was delicious, slightly spicy, and really delicious. After drinking the soup slowly, Liu Yu picked up the fish with chopsticks and ate it. The fish was silver carp, with white and smooth flesh, but with many thorns.
Everyone ate quite deliciously. They ate up half the pot of fish soup and fish meat, but left a lot of multi-grain pancakes.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meal, and their bodies were warmed from the inside out. Liu Yu was full of energy and blood, and was sweating slightly in the cold weather.
After dinner, Liu Yu took over the work of cleaning the kitchen. After feeding the pigs, she closed up the old hens at home.
He put a basin of pre-heated water in the pot into the east and west rooms. When passing by the main room, he discovered that Liu Fusheng and the other three were carving the door money in front of the oil lamp.
"Your uncle came to deliver chestnuts today and said that there are less and less chestnuts. Your grandpa and I stayed up late to carve out more money so that we can continue to sell them."
"It's only a matter of time. Kuang Men's money is only Laba and it's not easy to sell. Go to sleep first. It's not worth staying up late and hurting your eyes." Liu Yu took the carving knife from Nian's hand and urged.
While washing his feet, Chang Sheng discussed with Liu Yu that he would not accompany him to the kiln entrance tomorrow, but would carve out the money for the doorstep at home. He had mentioned this in advance, and he did not have to go out and avoid it, so that the two old people would not be able to do it. Stop the busy work.
Moreover, Grandpa and Grandma also make chestnut cakes during the day. He shares some of the work at home, so the two old people can relax.
Liu Yu was naturally helpless, and even more exposed, he got up in the middle of the night. He didn't want Changsheng to torment with him every day.
After discussing the matter, Liu Yu put the foot-washing water in the corner and would take it out and dump it when she got up tomorrow, so that Changsheng could rest early and then go back to sleep.
"Ah Yu, today Grandma said she would get engaged for us. I, I am very happy."
Looking at Liu Yu's leaving figure, Changsheng cheered himself up and spoke out what was in his heart.
Liu Yu held the lamp, turned around and pursed her lips at Changsheng with a smile: "Me too, I am also happy to be engaged to you."
Under the dim butter lamp, their eyes were shining brightly. Looking at each other's red face, the embarrassment in their hearts suddenly disappeared...
Some people slept soundly that day, while others were tossing and turning.
Tian Xiuxiu was lying on the kang, listening to Tian Changxi's snoring in the suite next door. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She was thinking about what my mother had said during the day, saying that she wanted to destroy the three and a half acres of her family's land in Sanjiedi and Linzipo. The land was sold.
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. My family had a total of about eighteen acres of land. The family's yearly consumption, grain tax, and poll tax all depended on these ten acres of land. Suddenly there was much less. The land tax for next year would be less, but The head tax remains unchanged, but what if there is still linen and linen to be paid...
The more Tian Xiuxiu thought about it, the more frightened she became. He Xian had been found by Liu Yu and the others. The old lady must have sold these fields for the third brother's gambling debt.
If you sell the fields this time, will you sell the fields next time? If the family's fields are sold out, or if the parents are unwilling to sell the fields again, and they must make money for the third brother, where will the money come from!
Tian Xiuxiu was wrapped in a quilt and shivered greatly. There was coldness in her bones, and there was a chill in her eyes when she opened her eyes. She lifted the quilt, turned over and got off the kang.
After crossing the curtain of Tiger Descendants, he gently opened the door, and saw that the room of Tian Fugui and his wife was also dark, and the sound of conversation could be faintly heard.
Tian Xiuxiu tiptoed to the door of the house and listened closely. The sound of her father and mother's quarrel came from the room. Although the sound was low, the door was not tight and the sound reached her ears.
"I think you are crazy. You are selling land. How could you possibly think of it?"
"Otherwise, what should I do? Could it be that I want to die looking at Changshou? He is your seed."
"Then you can't sell the land. Xiuxiu is old enough. Find someone from a well-off family and pay Duoduo a betrothal gift, and you'll have everything."
"You think I don't want to, for such a short time, where can I find such a wealthy family, who is willing to pay a large betrothal gift? Our Xiuxiu is well-born, but we are not willing to marry someone who will spend all their money." situation."
"Why not? The family I visited last time for Changshou was willing to pay a large sum of money to marry Xiuxiu."
"Is that marriage? That's raising a child. Let Xiuxiu be a concubine for the eldest son to give birth to a child. Unless it's a last resort, I can't bear to abuse my daughter like this."
"…………"
Tian Xiuxiu no longer wanted to listen to what was said in the room. She laughed to herself. She really had to be grateful that she came out of her mother's belly, otherwise she would have been sold to the most expensive fire pit for money.
Thinking about the cold reception she received when she went to He Xian to apologize in the past few days, Tian Xiuxiu hated this family in her heart.
If the third brother was really redeemed by my mother with money... Tian Xiuxiu touched her arms and cheeks, feeling that she would never have a good life.
Tian Changxi's snoring could be heard in her ears. Tian Xiuxiu wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes a little, turned back to her room, pushed the door open and walked into Tian Changxi's room in the suite. She would never sit still and let this bad gambler come back and ruin it. Own.
