Through the small days of farming

The people in the village are happier than the festival.

Because those who went to serve also came back early, most of them brought back a lot of money.

Most of the people had smiles on their faces, except for those who did not come back and abandoned their wives and children.

The man who lived in Brother Chun’s house near the end of the village did not come back. Their family is indeed very poor, just a small mud room.

The family has no fields and no land, and lives by renting other people's fields. The second elder in the family is also too old to work, and there are three young children in the family.

After his man went to serve in the army, he was the brother who had a harder life than Bai Niannian.

The old and the young in the family have so many mouths, relying on Brother Chun alone, and the people in the village occasionally lending a hand and gritted their teeth. It has been a few years to make do with it. Now it is hard to wait for the man to come back, but he is told that the man is living and working in peace in the place where he served. , not coming back, asked someone to bring back two taels of silver, and told Brother Chun not to wait for him any longer.

The person who helped bring the money back also said embarrassedly, "Brother Chun is such a good brother, and all the young and old in the family just abandoned it like this. This Li Erdan is really not a thing."

After all the anticipation, two taels of silver came in the end, and Brother Chun fell ill all of a sudden.

Brother Chun, he still admires him. Before Mingren came back, he usually went out to work. They went together.

It was already the next day when Bai Niannian heard the news, and Ning Geer told him when he came to talk to him.

After Brother Ning returned home, Bai Niannian immediately found a basket, filled it with a dozen eggs, covered it with a layer of cloth, and hurried to Brother Chun's house.

"Ahem, Brother Nian, why are you here?" Brother Chun struggled.

His thin body seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. Brother Chun was only 30 years old, and he already had strands of white hair on both sides of his ears, which made Bai Niannian's heart ache.

Going to help him up, seeing that there is no one guarding him, he said angrily, "Why is there no one to take care of you?!"

"Father and father-in-law went to the mountain to pick some chestnuts and came back. The children who fed the chickens went to feed the chickens, and the cooks went to cook, so no one was watching for a while." After drinking the water poured by Brother Nian, Brother Chun's throat is much more comfortable, he explained.

"If that man doesn't come back, don't come back. He hasn't been around these years, so isn't life going on like this?" Bai Niannian comforted, "You can treat that man as if he died outside! There are old and young at home, you Don't worry about them if they continue to be sick?"

Brother Chun's house is not big, but it can also be seen that the owner of the house knows how to live, everything is neatly organized, there are many things but not messy.

"I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart. Tell me, why is he so cruel that he doesn't want us?" Brother Chun wiped his tears.

"Don't be so absolutely his loss. He doesn't want you, and you don't want him anymore. Live a good life for him, and find a husband-in-law in the future, so that he will regret it." Bai Niannian suggested.

When that man comes back in the future and sees his child calling someone else's father, how does he feel?

Bai Niannian comforted him for a while, told him to take good care of his illness, let his two children take care of him, and then left. When he went out, he met the second elder who came back with half a bag full of chestnuts.

When he got home, the two little guys were practicing calligraphy in the room, and he took a look at it quietly and left.

Finding out the chestnuts at home, Bai Niannian spent the whole afternoon at home, while Chen Mingren took over a cabinet job and made cabinets in the backyard.

After doing it several times, he made the chestnut hair cake in his memory. The chestnut hair cake was still steaming. He divided them into pieces with a knife. He picked up a small piece and threw it into his mouth. Hmm, yes, yes, It is more delicious than simple hair cakes.

Divide that cage of hair cakes into several portions, keeping one portion for myself, one portion for Shen Wei’s family, one portion for Aunt Chen’s family, and one portion for Brother Yu’er’s family.

He took some in first and gave the two little guys a taste.

"This is the hair cake made by my brother, you have to try it."

The two little guys gave affirmative answers, and Bai Niannian asked them to take a break, and continue to practice calligraphy after eating the cakes.

He also sent a copy to Mingren who had been busy in the backyard all day, Chen Mingren nodded, "It tastes good."

"You've been here all day. Go out for a walk. There are still a lot at home. Send some to Aunt Chen. I'll go to Brother Ning's house."

Chen Mingren ate the cake in the bowl in a few gulps, "Okay, where are the things? I'll send them there."

Bai Niannian: "Keep it in the kitchen, don't be in such a hurry, and don't be in a hurry."

"Aren, tell me, can we make this and sell it in the town?"

To prepare for the New Year, every household will buy some dim sum. The cheapest dim sum in the town costs five or six yuan a catty.

If you do this, the cost is not much, they buy it cheaper, and they can make a lot of money with small profits but quick sales.

"What's the cost of this? Is it complicated to do?"

"A palm-sized piece costs only one or two pennies. It mainly uses flour, cornmeal and chestnuts. The procedure for making this is not very complicated. If you add more chestnuts, it won't cost much." Bai Niannian pointed out He pointed to his palm.

"That's fine, go to the town tomorrow to buy new year's goods, and take some to the town by the way, see if it works."

"As for the price, how about setting it at three pennies?" Chen Mingren also became interested. If this method is feasible, their family will have another income.

"Okay, I'll make a copy at night and take it with me the next day."

"If it's feasible, ask Brother Yu to do it with us!"

Chen Mingren: "Yes."

Send them to Ning Ge'er's house. Ning Ge'er is watching the chicks in the yard. It's cold and afraid of freezing the chicks. He often locks them in the chicken coop and occasionally lets them out for a walk.

Having received good comments from their family of three, Bai Niannian took the opportunity to talk about the idea of ​​selling chestnut hair cakes in the town. They only sold them during the period before the Chinese New Year. After that, their business might not be able to continue.

Brother Ning also asked the same question, and Bai Niannian answered truthfully.

"If the two companies cooperate, how will the profits be distributed? If you take advantage of your family, I will not accept it." Brother Ning asked again.

"How about you accounting for [-]% of the profit?" Bai Niannian thought for a while, and agreed.

This work is not tiring if you do a little work, but if it is a big hit, the work is probably exhausting.

They are willing to make money even if they are exhausted.

"Thirty percent is still too much." Brother Ning shook his head. Fortunately, Brother Nian met him, otherwise he would not have known if he was sold by others. "Twenty percent of the profit to us is already a lot."

"Okay, you said [-]% is [-]%. Go to the town tomorrow to buy new year's goods, and bring chestnut hair cakes to the town to sell. Are you going?"

Chen Anning shook her head: "I won't go, Ah Wei will go with you. How about you?"

"I'm not going either, just ask Akihito to help you buy what you want to buy."

It's not that he hasn't been to the town before, even if there is an ox cart to ride in, his buttocks still hurt from the bumps.

In the evening, the two little ones finished eating the cake at home and still wanted to eat it. Although Bai Niannian said, "Don't eat too much, you won't get indigestion."

But the body honestly made an extra portion.

In the morning, after breakfast, Chen Mingren went to the town with a basket to buy and sell things.

This kind of fragrant and sweet food is obviously very popular with children. Even when Chen Ancheng came to their house, he immediately hugged his thigh. After saying hello to him, he asked if he still had the hair cake that he ate yesterday. ?

"What's the background of that Brother Hua?" Brother Ning asked him, "You have to be careful when you come to find Brother Chen."

"I heard that it's Ming Ren's savior's younger brother, and now he ran away from home and came to join him." Bai Niannian thought that he couldn't stand it all night, but he didn't expect that he was still living at Brother Yu's house.

"He's at Brother Yu's house now, if you're curious, shall we go and see him now?"

Ning Ge'er was moved, called a few little guys, and walked to Yu Ge'er's house, and found a group of people outside Yu Ge'er's house.

"What happened?" Bai Niannian stepped forward quickly, and patted the shoulder of a brother who was watching outside.

"Oh, so it's from Ming Ren's family, right? You don't know? It's Brother Yu and his ex-husband who regretted it, and came to ask Brother Yu to forgive him."

"Has he regretted it? But doesn't he have that one in his family?" Bai Niannian asked.

Seeing that someone is willing to listen to his gossip, he can't wait to tell him all the gossip, "You must not know, do I have a cousin who is from Huang San's village? I heard from him, the newly married one At home, he is like a son of a rich family. He doesn't do any housework. He eats this today and eats that tomorrow. All the work in the house falls on Huang San, but Huang San, what? Will be willing, the house is full of quarrels all day long."

"Huang San didn't know which side to help, so he was caught in the middle and suffered from both ends."

"But for the sake of the grandson in his belly, Huang San can only endure it."

"Then what?" It's not about Brother Yu's business to make trouble at home, right?

"Relying on his stomach, the one Huang San married is becoming more and more arrogant. No, he wants Huang San to hand over the money to him in the future, and now he has stabbed a hornet's nest. Ah, Huang San will fight him directly, Huang San San went to stop them, on the way Huang San's newly married one was pushed by someone, and his stomach hit the corner of the table."

"Is there anything in his stomach?" Brother Ning also asked curiously.

"It's okay if it's gone, but it's not like this. At that time, it became popular immediately. Huang San immediately asked the doctor in their village to take a look first, and then planned to take him to the doctor in the town. You know what happened. ?"

"do not know."

"The one Huang San newly married, the child in his stomach is not Huang San's at all." He said mysteriously, "It seems that the month is not right, although the child was saved, Huang San wrote it immediately after returning. Give him the letter of divorce."

"So now he wants to reconcile with Brother Yu?" Bai Niannian couldn't believe it, Huang San still has the face to ask for reunion?

Abandoning his original partner deserves a cuckold.

Bai Niannian asked Brother Ning to take a few children back first, he squeezed in to see what was going on?

He managed to squeeze in, and found that Aunt Chen was holding a sturdy bamboo broom, hitting him, "Get out! Get out of here quickly!! Our Brother Yu doesn't want to see you."

No matter how Aunt Chen fought, Huang San just stood in front of Brother Yu's door without saying a word, unwilling to leave no matter what.

"Auntie, I'll go in and see what's going on with Brother Yu." Bai Niannian said to Aunt Chen, and then hurried in to see how Brother Yu was doing.
