Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

After the chickens lay eggs at home, they have to sell them every one or two gatherings.

It was humid when I woke up in the morning, and it looked like it was going to rain.

She cooked the porridge and stood in the yard looking towards the mountains and forests. Seeing the fog again, she knew that it was probably going to be another rainy day.

When Li Yunshan came back from cleaning the backyard, he saw her stunned in the yard and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"It's going to rain."

"If you can't get off, take your umbrella with you, just in case."

"I know." She turned and entered the kitchen.

After washing, Li Yunshan moved the table to the door and said, "After dinner, I will drag down the wood that I chopped yesterday and chop it up when I have time in the next few days. After the weather clears up, I have to dry the food and fish."

"The wheat is almost here, it's already July."

"It's almost time to finish chopping the firewood."

"Then when are we going to the town to sell soap?"

"I'll go there after I'm done with Maizi and take a look at the iron pot."

"Is there enough money?"

"It should be enough..."

_

After dinner, Mao Mingzhu called her from below, and she picked up the eggs and umbrella and walked out.

Mao Mingzhu was waiting for her at the downhill intersection, holding an umbrella with Li Xiao.

Seeing that she was only carrying a basket, he casually asked, "How many eggs are there?"

"Eighty-eight."

"You haven't sold two episodes and only sold eighty-eight? Your chickens won't lay eggs now?"

"Been eaten by me and Yunshan."

"Did you eat? All that much?" There was undisguised shock on Mao Mingzhu's face.

Li Xiao was also very surprised, "An egg is only a copper coin, and you still ate so many?"

"What's wrong with eating it? People only live for a few bites of food."

"Yunshan doesn't talk about you?"

"He eats more than me..."

The two women were naturally envious of her words. Mao Mingzhu sighed, "As long as Yunshan doesn't say anything, it will be fine. I'm also afraid that your greed will make Yunshan unhappy."

"No, he drinks fish soup every day, and we only eat eggs occasionally, not every day."

"Fish soup is also good. We all had a meal yesterday."

"That's why Yunshan is so brave and dares to go deep into the mountains. There are only a few fish in the river where we dig the fungi, and every time we don't get our turn. Your cousin and the others occasionally go to the river to catch fish, and sometimes they don't We couldn't bear to eat just three or four of them, so we dried them and kept them for the winter or sold them for money."

Li Xiao also said with envy, "I can often smell you cooking fish, and the fish soup you cook smells delicious."

"Actually, there are fish in the river. If you really want to catch them, you can catch a lot of them."

"Jin'er and Zhong'er are hard-working, but your uncle is too lazy. He even beats people when he talks."

"Then what does uncle usually do at home?"

"I lie down to sleep, and when I wake up I bask in the sun. I also go for a walk in the fields when there is work in them."

"It's...very good. Maybe he's not needed for the work at home, but he will do it when there is work."

"If he could be as diligent as Yunshan and help catch fish in the river, the family's debts could be paid off earlier and life would be easier."

"Why don't you raise more chickens? They lay eggs quickly. There's nothing better than this to make money."

"If you raise too many, you won't be able to sell them. It's a waste to eat them yourself."

"It's just some grass after all. There's nothing to waste. Eat more eggs and your health will be better."

"It's not as simple as you think. It's okay when there's grass. But it's cold and there's no grass. If you want the chickens to lay eggs in the spring, you must have enough food. Eight chickens can only use the chaff at home in one winter. It’s barely enough, how can we raise so many things to feed them?”

"Your family has six acres of land, and only a dozen or so chickens with chaff skin. It's not enough to eat. One winter is so long, and if you're hungry and thin, you won't be able to lay eggs until spring. It's not cost-effective."

"It's just you two who can't live. You two have enough to eat now. What about in the future? Do you have children? Do you have grandchildren? Six acres of land is not enough. It's business to save more wealth now. .”

Mao Xiaosui didn't want to argue with her. He looked at the woman chatting in front of the village chief's house and said with a smile, "What my aunt said is that the aunts are all here, so let's go quickly."

Mao Mingzhu smiled and asked them loudly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Qiaocui, the eldest daughter-in-law of Mr. Liu's family, covered her mouth and laughed, "As for Li Xiaoru, I don't know why she started making trouble again last night. She was crying and making trouble... You didn't listen? It was such a big noise."

Shen Mao Mingzhu couldn't hide his pride when he heard this: "Listen, there has been so much noise these days, I thought you were talking about something else."

"Li Xiaoru was so proud in the past. She would either roll her eyes or laugh at us when she saw us. Who would have thought that life would be so miserable now..."

"Liu Xiaoxia is here." She reminded quietly from the side.

When the villagers heard this, they didn't hide it and looked at him directly.

Liu Xiaoxia knew what they were talking about at a glance. She was already used to it and didn't care. She walked forward without waiting for them.

"Let's go too." Mao Xiaosui reminded them.

The villagers muttered and cursed a few more times before setting off.

In the countryside, villages are located next to each other and very close to each other. I met many people on the road.

It rained heavily on the road, and those who were too lazy to bring an umbrella got wet. Mao Xiaosui was carrying an egg basket and walking with an umbrella in his hand. Next to him was a short, skinny and dark little girl. He kept hiding under her umbrella.

The umbrella was not big, so she would get wet if she took it out, so she hid aside. After a while, the little girl squeezed over again, so she had no choice but to take out a little bit.

After walking for a while, the little girl almost leaned on her body. It was not known how long it had been since she had been scrubbed. Her hair was oily and became strands, and her body smelled sour.

She was a little unhappy and took back the umbrella she had given away. She quickly walked forward a few steps and left her behind. She didn't let the little girl get close to her until the market.

There were many people in the market, so she found a seat in the middle of the bridge and sat down. As soon as she lifted the cloth covering the eggs, she heard a milky voice, "Little auntie."

Mao Xiaosui immediately looked up, reached out and pinched her cheek gently, and smiled, "It turns out it's our safety..."

Auntie Ding laughed and said, "Take her here to buy candied haws. She will see you right away."

"How long will it take for my sister-in-law to give birth?"

"There are still some days left in September."

"You don't look pregnant." She was a little worried. "Did you vomit badly? Why do you feel like you are much thinner than before."

"It's hot and I can't eat."

"Drink more warm water, eat more times a day, and eat less each time. This will make you feel much better."

Auntie Ding laughed and said, "I'll go back and try."

"Sister-in-law, do you like drinking sugar water? I'll bring you some at the next gathering."

"I have it at home and I'm drinking it."

"I'll bring you a can, it's good stuff, better than brown sugar."

Auntie Ding smiled and responded, "Okay."

Then she looked at Ding Pingan again, "Does Pingan miss your little aunt?"

"I think." Ding Ping'an smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't uncle come?"

"Your uncle is busy chopping firewood. He has no time recently. When he is done with these days, ask your uncle to bring you fish."

There is a river under the bridge of the market. There are fish, but they are hard to catch. Therefore, the Ding family eats less fish. In the past, they mostly ate the endless supply of pork. "

"Okay." Ding Ping'an nodded and responded seriously.

Auntie Ding then said, "You came just in time. We killed a pig this morning. Didn't you ask for suet last time? I'll bring you some."

"Why are you killing pigs today?"

"Someone else bought half a head for a wedding. It's so hot this day, so you can take it home and eat it."

"You can fry it and leave it alone. You can also sell it as cooked meat. It won't spoil easily."

"I have it at home. You can take it back. Zhuang said this morning that he hadn't seen you two for a long time."

"That's it. I'll give money to my sister-in-law. There happens to be no meat at home."

"What money do you need? Let Yunshan send some more fish another day. You can't catch any fish in the river here. It's more convenient for you."

"That's OK." She didn't refuse anymore, and waited until the people left before she started talking about business. She looked to the side and found that the little girl on the road had sat next to her again at some point.
