A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

Chen Changsheng was cooking lunch on the stove. The fire in the stove was scorching, and she was sweating profusely. After finishing the three dishes, she sighed with a sigh of relief, "It's really not easy for women." ah."

I worked as a cook for seven or eight years in my last life. I stood there for several hours every day, and it was very smoky and smelled of all kinds of oil fumes every day. Especially in the summer, I would get soaked to death just to cook.

In this life, as a woman, I have to cook, and there are no electric fans or air conditioners. It is even more inconvenient to go shirtless, so I can just endure it.

You need to teach Dafu how to cook quickly so that you can be freed sooner.

In the morning, Chen Changsheng asked his eldest son to make some more tofu curd and chilled it with mountain spring water all morning. She gave herself a bowl and it was so good.

"Mom, I'm back." Chen Erlu's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

He tied the bullock cart to the big tree outside the yard. The first thing he did when he entered the yard was to scoop out a bucket of water for the big ox to drink. The second thing he did was to hold a large bundle of grass and give the big ox a good meal. .

Although Erlu wanted to drive the bullock cart into the yard, his mother said that the cows had lice and were prone to insects and flies. The family had to work and eat in the yard during the day. If they were bitten by insects, they would be in trouble. .

Chen Changsheng put away the hanging electric fan and brought the food to the table in the courtyard. "Remember to wash your hands after feeding the cows. The food is already ready. I will go to the fields to ask Dafu and the others to come back for dinner."

These children were also honest. They kept working as long as they were told, and even at noon they didn't know how to come back for dinner.

If he had been released to someone else's house, he would have gone back to rest long ago.

Fortunately, her family lives at the west entrance of the village, which is close to the ground. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Standing on the ridge of the field, Chen Changsheng saw that in this large area of ​​​​the village, only her family and four neighboring families were still busy.

Because Dafu had watered the fields again today, and the muddy ground made it difficult to walk, the three children simply took off their straw sandals and stepped barefoot in the fields.

"Great blessing, come and wash your feet and put on your shoes. Let's go back and have dinner."

Chen Dafu collected the wooden bucket and walked up the field ridge. He took a bucket of water out of the ditch, carefully washed the mud off his feet, and left the rest for his younger brothers and sisters.

"Mom, I picked half a basket of locusts. You can carry them for me first."

Sanshou stood up and put the basket on the field ridge, then went into the field to catch the chickens and ducks.

Chen Changsheng could feel the locusts scurrying around inside the basket with his hands. There were probably hundreds of them.

I didn’t expect that I could catch so many with my hands. It seems that locusts really cannot be underestimated.

"Sixi, come here and help Third Brother catch up the chickens and ducks. Gu Gu Gu Gu, the chickens come out quickly, let's go home."

The two people, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated with each other and slowly drove all the chickens and ducks from front to back to the edge of the field.

The chickens and ducks all had chubby bellies after eating, and were unwilling to go to the field ridges, so they flew around in all directions.

Chen Sanshou threatened, "If you don't go home, my mother will kill you and burn you for me to eat. Come home with me!"

This tough-minded sentence made Aunt Wang next to her couldn't help laughing. "Sanshou, I think your chickens and ducks don't want to go back. Why don't you follow my aunt and go to her house."

She counted thirty or forty of them and said, "Sister-in-law of the Chen family, how come you raise so many chickens and ducks? How many wild vegetables do you dig up in the mountains every day to feed them? Can you feed them?"

"They don't need to dig wild vegetables or feed them. They can just eat locusts." Sanshou said with a smile.

"What, why are there locusts in the ground?!" Aunt Wang's face turned pale.

Is the Locust God coming to punish them?

"Auntie, don't you know? The fields are much older. I caught half of the basket in the morning alone. Listen." Chen Sanshou swung the basket behind his back on the field ridge, and the locusts inside were buzzing.

"Oh my God, the Locust God is here!"

Aunt Wang had been watering the fields these past few days and had not paid close attention to the conditions inside the rice leaves. Unexpectedly, locusts appeared.

"Aunt Wang, I think you should catch locusts as soon as possible, lest they ruin the rice." Chen Sanshou kindly reminded him, "But catching locusts is really tiring. I just caught them all morning." Even with a half-carrying basket, you still have to rely on chickens and ducks.”

Chen Sanshou's words reminded Aunt Wang, and she immediately said, "Sister-in-law Chen, you have so many chickens, why don't you sell a few to me? I will drive them to the fields this afternoon."

But we can't wait a moment longer. If we wait a moment longer, the rice in the field will suffer more disaster.

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "Aunt Wang, I bought this chicken in the city. My Erlu just came back from the city today. If you want it, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow. How much does one cost?"

"Chickens are five cents, ducks are six cents, and adult chickens and ducks are even more expensive." The price quoted by Chen Changsheng was one penny lower than the price of baskets sold in the city.

Aunt Wang knew that the price was quite different, so she immediately confirmed it, "Then bring me ten chickens and ten ducks. I will get the money for you when I get back later."

After thinking about the arrival of people from her parents' house in two days, she guessed that there would also be locusts there, so she added ten more locusts each and asked her parents to take them back.

Chen Changsheng agreed to buy it from the bracelet mall tomorrow. Not only was it cheaper, but the chickens and ducks were stronger, and he also got a pack of nutritional water as a gift, so he could make a profit on the price difference.

There were three other families nearby who heard their conversation and each checked the situation in their own fields, and sure enough they found locusts.

These three families also ordered chickens and ducks from Chen Changsheng, fearing that if they were one day late, the fields would suffer an additional disaster. Besides, the price given by Chen Changsheng was right, and he saved himself time and travel expenses to go to the city.

The chickens and ducks were all driven to the ridge of the field. Sanshou and Sixi washed their feet with water in the bucket and put on their straw sandals. The mother and son headed home.

On the way, Chen Sanshou remembered what his mother had said to him before going out in the morning, and asked with fear, "Mom, you are not really going to make locusts for me to eat, are you?"

He was imagining while catching locusts in the field this morning, but no matter how much he thought, he couldn't imagine what locusts could taste like.

Chen Changsheng looked at Sanshou's wrinkled face and said with a smile, "I'll cook it for you when I get back later. Everything is ready, just waiting for the locusts to come into the pot."

"Then... can you also make it for the eldest brother, second brother and Sixi? You can't just make it for me. I'm afraid they will be jealous."

Locusts are such a "delicious" thing. You can't just eat them by yourself. You have to take your brothers and sisters with you.

Chen Dafu and Chen Sixi on the side complained, "Sanshou/Third Brother, Mom clearly said that I would only make food for you. You can enjoy it by yourself. We won't be jealous."

"No! Mom said, we have to share things together."

Chen Dafu and Chen Sixi secretly commented: "It is my blessing to have you." 】
