"Ah?" Su's mother was surprised.

Liu Guilan was used to it, "Splitting something is like killing the old witch. It's life or death. The knife is on her neck. I can't really rob her. Otherwise, the old witch may not be able to survive."

Mother Su nodded. It was true that no matter who fell in love with the old lady, the old lady would suffer.

"It's good to divide it, it's good to divide it. From now on, you only need to take care of your own little family. You won't be as tired as before. Just use as few things as you can, as long as you can divide them."

Liu Guilan answered, "I think so too. I didn't expect to separate our families. This old man has done something right."

Mother Su: "How to divide the fields?"

"The fields are divided equally. Even you know that the old witch's heart is biased. Naturally, our family will not be able to get any good land." Liu Guilan can see clearly that as long as the family can be divided, nothing will happen in this life. Sadr than before.

"Be patient, be patient, and things will get better and better in the future." Su's mother comforted her.

"I'm not angry, and I'm open-minded. As a family of three, we work hard together, and life will always get better and better."

Mother Su: "Well, if you need any help, just ask. You're welcome."

"I'm so rude if you say that," Liu Guilan said with a smile, "The kitchen was originally used by two families, but the old witch locked the door and refused to use it. It has rained in the past two days and there is no room. I just thought you could lend me the stove when you need it."

"Okay, I thought it was something, no problem. If you want to use it, just come over and use it. Is this necessary?" Mother Su agreed.

"However," she paused, "according to your old lady's temperament, she will give you food?"

Liu Guilan raised her head and glanced at her, "You are really very perceptive. Naturally, you won't be divided. But I gave you a few bags of sweet potatoes and you can stand them. After the seeds are planted in the ground, my second brother will go out to find some work." I can do the work in the fields by myself, and he can do it for a few months. I guess this year will be about the same, and he can survive."

Mother Su frowned. She thought the old lady would show off and give her some food, but she didn't expect that she didn't even want to show her face.

"You can't just eat sweet potatoes, can you? You won't be hungry. In this way, I still have some coarse grains at home. You can take some to eat. You have to carry new grains anyway."

"No, no, it's not easy for your family. How can I ask you for food? When the rain clears, go dig some wild vegetables or something to eat with it. I'll do the math and you'll have enough to eat until the new food comes out." Liu Guilan refused.

Mother Su smiled and scolded: "Who told you to give it to you? You have a good idea. This is borrowed from you. You will have to pay it back when the food comes out."

Liu Guilan: "That's not acceptable..."

She was interrupted by Su's mother before she could finish her words, "Listen to me, you don't care about yourself. The second brother has to do heavy work. Wen Yuan is still young. Can he bear it by eating wild vegetables and sweet potatoes every day?"

"Don't be stubborn. If my family is really in trouble, I won't ask you to lend me money. A few days ago, Xiaoqing and the others went to sell tofu. The family is much more relaxed. We have enough food this year. If it's really hard, I won't let you go." If you open this mouth, you can continue, but you are not allowed to be polite anymore,"

After saying this, Mother Su smiled and teased her, "If you really feel sorry for me, please come over and help me with my work."

As soon as she said this, Liu Guilan felt much more at ease, "Hey, it's just work. If you're too busy, just call me. I'm so close, I can hear you squeak."

"You still squeak, do you think I'm a mouse?"

As they spoke, the two burst into laughter.

Smiling, Liu Guilan lowered her head, her eyes instantly moistened, and her tears fell into the basin. Her voice was very soft, "Sister Li, thank you."

Mother Su: "Thank you for what you are doing. Neighbors should help each other. You help me often. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Don't drop the golden beans!"

Liu Guilan smiled and nodded, but the movements of her hands were faster.

Her heart is like a mirror.

You see, we are just neighbors. We usually help each other, but when we encounter difficulties, she can help her like this.

But what about the family members, who are still related by blood? What did they do?

The couple worked very hard every day, but as a result, they didn't get even a kind word and were treated differently.

So, some people really have no heart.

They kept busy until it was almost dark, and everyone stopped. Liu Guilan straightened up and joked: "Is your family washing all the sweet potatoes for a year?"

Mother Su raised her eyebrows and said, "You really guessed it right. Come in and warm yourself by the fire. We'll have dinner here later and then go back. Are you freezing today?"

"Then I'm really rude!" Liu Guilan responded with a smile.

"You're welcome, hurry up and have a quickie, but I don't have much to eat at home, so we'll just make do with it." Mother Su pulled her to warm up by the fire.

Su A'nai obviously heard what she said, "Come here and bake it. It's really thanks to you and Lao Er today. Let's eat here tonight. It only requires two pairs of chopsticks. You're welcome."

Originally, the old Su family had two meals a day, but Liu Guilan and the others came over to help for most of the day. It was not good not to cook, so Su Ziling came over early to cook.

The staple food was polenta, and it was too late to make sweet potato starch, so she cooked a pot of polenta, but the polenta she cooked was much thicker than ordinary people, and unlike what she had eaten before, it was so clear that it could be looked into in a mirror.

Thinking that it was not good to just eat it, I roasted a circle of sweet potatoes by the fire. These two became the staple food.

She soaked some purslane and prunes, added eggs and chili peppers, and fried them for rice.

She removed the old stems and leaves of water celery, blanched it, and stir-fried it with garlic and chili pepper. The aroma spread far and wide, and the whole kitchen was filled with the fragrance of lard, chili and garlic, and the water celery was crisp and tender. Spicy, very delicious, and perfect with rice.

Maybe it was the way of hospitality in her previous life, Su Ziling always felt that there was a lack of meat dishes, but there was no meat at home, and even the big bones were boiled and finished in soup.

So she took two more eggs and used them to stir-fry wild garlic. Stir-fried wild garlic with eggs was also a favorite of the old Su family, almost as much as meat.

Finally, she mixed a large bowl of dog-ear root and mint. Seeing that there were many people, she made another shepherd's purse soup.

She originally wanted to make wild tomato and egg soup, but she had used enough eggs today, so she simply made a shepherd's purse soup.

But it is also very delicious. The shepherd's purse is fresh and tender. Adding lard will make it more delicious, especially with minced wild garlic, the fragrance will be more intense.
