Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Dashan continued, "After the bitterness of the acorns is removed, they can be ground into powder to make steamed buns or something. Anyway, you will figure it out sooner or later, so I might as well tell you all."

When they heard that this thing could be used as food, they were even more shocked than being able to feed pigs.

These days, no family can say that they have never had a food shortage.

A man looked at Zheng Dashan with gratitude and said, "Second brother, thank you so much for telling us this. When we pick more acorns in the fall, we won't be afraid of having no food in the winter."

The person who was speaking was called Mao Gen, and he was from one of the poorer families in the village.

Mao Gen's family was not originally so poor. It was because Mao Gen's father fell seriously ill, which not only spent all the family's money, but also sold most of the family's land.

There are only two acres of land left at home now. The food grown every year is not enough to eat, and we have to rely on digging wild vegetables to barely fill our stomachs.

The three brothers were all in their twenties, but they had never been able to find a wife because they were too poor.

This news about Zheng Dashan is really important to their family.

All three brothers came today, originally intending to make some money, but they did not expect to receive such important news.

The three brothers have plenty of energy to work. If they pick more acorns in the fall and raise two pigs at home, they will have some income by the end of the year.

Zheng Dashan felt very emotional when looking at this boy. If it weren't for their daughter, their family's life would probably not be much better than theirs.

He patted the other's sturdy shoulders and said, "You three brothers should work hard in the future. As long as you are diligent, you will definitely live a good life."

Mao Gen and his two younger brothers nodded gratefully, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, we will definitely do it."

Now that the important things have been discussed, the next step is to assign tasks.

More than a dozen people were divided into four groups, with each group responsible for five acres of land.

The men took off their coats and rolled up their sleeves to get down to business.

If they don't work hard, they will be unworthy of the news that the Zheng family told them today.

Today our main task was to clear the stones and grass roots from the ground. Everyone seemed to have endless energy and they worked so hard that their heads were burning with sweat but they refused to stop and rest.

When Zheng Xiaoman was delivering water up the mountain, he saw that everyone was wearing only a single coat and their faces were flushed from the heat.

When Zheng Dashan saw his daughter coming up, he quickly asked everyone to stop and rest.

"Everyone, please stop and drink some water. There is no rush on our land. Just work slowly."

Zhao Laosan straightened up and wiped the sweat off his head, "Second brother, isn't it because everyone is too excited to hear the news today, hahaha."

Others also echoed: "That's right, let's work for another day, and we won't feel tired anymore."

"Hahaha"

Zheng Dashan was really at a loss for words. "Come on, come here and have a rest. It's almost time for spring ploughing. Don't tire yourself out."

Everyone laughed and didn't refuse.

Zheng Xiaoman was a little confused as she got bowls and poured water for everyone. After everyone started drinking, she moved closer to her father, nudged his arm with her elbow, and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Why are you all so excited?"

Zheng Dashan chuckled and told him what had happened before.

Zheng Xiaoman suddenly realized, no wonder, it turned out that he was really stimulated.

After everyone had finished drinking the water, Zheng Xiaoman carried the basket back home.

After returning home, I start preparing lunch. I take out a pair of pig offal from the cellar and boil them, then put some cabbage in it.

The staple food was steamed bread made of two grams of flour, and she steamed four whole pots for this meal.

That’s all we have, and I don’t know if it’s enough for these people to eat.

Seeing the sun rising to the zenith, Zheng Dashan invited everyone to go home for dinner.

Before I even got close to the yard, I could smell the aroma of rice.

Everyone who didn't feel hungry just now now had their stomachs growling.

When Zheng Xiaoman saw everyone coming back, he quickly got some water for them to wash their hands.

After everyone washed their hands, they went to the kitchen to get bowls, and then brought the bowls to Zheng Xiaoman to serve the food.

The dry food is placed in the bowl next to it, and everyone can take it themselves.

They are very familiar with this process, as it was how they built the house.

After dinner, no one went into the house, but found a place to sit in the yard to eat.

They ate so fast that before the food in the bowl had time to cool down, they had already gulped down a whole bowl of food.

If it’s not enough, come in and get another bowl of vegetables and two steamed buns to continue eating.

When they were finally full, only a few of the four pots of steamed buns were left.

Zheng Xiaoman sighed that it was a good thing that these people were only here to work temporarily, otherwise her family really would not be able to support them.

After dinner, everyone sat comfortably in the yard basking in the sun.

There is hot water in the big pot in the kitchen. Anyone who wants to drink water can go to the kitchen and get a bowl for themselves.

Zhao Laosan touched his belly with satisfaction and said, "Second brother, I love coming to your house to work. I am willing to come even if you don't pay me."

Wang Dahai looked at his behavior and laughed, "You just covet the food made by Xiaoman. I saw you eat three bowls of vegetables and six steamed buns at noon today.

With your appetite, you still have the nerve to ask for money?"

Zhao Laosan rolled his eyes at him without getting angry, "I can eat and I can work, and besides, it's as if you eat much less than me."

Zhao Laosan is a strong man, and he works efficiently. He can really do the work of two people.

Zheng Xiaoman was eating in the house and laughed when he heard talking outside.

Zheng Dashan said with a smile: "There is enough food at home. You can eat as much as you want. It's not expensive."

Zhao Laosan chuckled and said, "My second brother is the most generous."

Wang Dahai smiled and kicked him, "You mean I'm stingy?"

Zhao Laosan kicked back with a smile, "If you don't fight with me when you eat, I won't say you are stingy."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everybody started laughing. These two guys, already fathers, are still not doing their job properly.

They sat and wrote for another quarter of an hour, then picked up their hoes and went up the mountain again.

The group didn't come down from the mountain until the sun had set.

In the evening, Zheng Xiaoman stewed big bones with radishes. The radishes were stewed until they were soft and rotten, and the aroma of the bone soup was fully absorbed.

She cooked two large pots, and in the end there was nothing left.

Even the bones were shared among everyone to eat. Anxious Xiao Huang surrounded these people and cried out.

When these people threw the bones away, there was no trace of clean meat on them.

Little Huang barked at them angrily, which made everyone laugh again.

Zheng Xiaoman also found it very funny, so he poured out the last bit of bone soup from the pot and soaked a piece of dry food in it, and only then did he calm the dog down.
