When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

Fang Tianlin smacked his lips twice, eating those bland meals all day long, and felt that he was not far from anorexia.He sat on the bedside and looked through the property to see if he could get some money out to buy a catty of salt.

The little money Shen Jiahe had saved before was basically filled in when he married his wife, and the amount handed over to Fang Tianlin was less than a hundred coins.Counting the days when he came here, the little money the two of them had saved from hunting and doing temporary work would be over four hundred cash.

Really, there is no way to pass this day.Fang Tianlin fell on his back on the bed, wanting to scream to the sky a few times.If this continues, he has to find a way to improve his life.

There are not many ways for farmers to get money, and they are even more reluctant to spend money. Everyone stays in the village when there is nothing to do, and seldom goes to the town, and even the county town may not be visited once a year.Because the Shen family wanted to sell their prey, they would take a walk around the town in ten and a half months.

Fang Tianlin came to this world at the end of March in the lunar calendar, that is, the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It is now May, and the summer harvest will begin in a few days.In two months, he only saved more than 300 Wen. Fang Tianlin really looked down upon this speed of making money.

Four hundred Wen can only buy eight catties of salt. Thinking of this, Fang Tianlin's expression is very exciting.

Of course, money doesn't count that way.There is no salt production in Guangyan Village, so the salt is brought in from a long distance, so the price is naturally relatively high.Other things are not as expensive as salt. General coarse grains are only a few cents a catty, and ordinary meat is only ten or twenty cents.Four hundred cash is used to buy coarse grains, but it can support a strong laborer to let go of his stomach and eat for more than a month.

These days, the family is preparing for the summer harvest, and the Shenjiahe brothers all returned home a few days ago.

Guangyan Village is far away from the town, and it takes an hour to walk back and forth.Taking advantage of the large number of brothers, the Shen family simply rented a small house in a commoner's house in the town. The four brothers took turns to go home to get dry food, and they lived here for more than a month.Excluding rent and other expenses, the four of them earned less than one or two taels of silver.That's enough to make other villagers jealous, even if others want to do it, they may not be able to find a job.

"Why do you have such a bad face?" Fang Tianlin pulled Shen Jiahe over to look carefully.The last time I went home, I was fine. After more than ten days, my face was full of fatigue.

Knowing that he would not be able to find out if he asked Shen Jiahe for a while, Fang Tianlin went to find the other three.

Shen Jiaxi and Shen Jiahe are twin brothers, they have the best relationship, and they notice more: "Sister-in-law, it shouldn't be a big problem. The third brother always feels that he doesn't get enough sleep these days, and he doesn't work well. It's all good. Let him get a full sleep these few days, and he will probably be able to recover."

Shen Jiahai and Shen Jiahu also said the same thing, so Fang Tianlin didn't ask any more questions.It's just that he was allowed to sleep until he woke up naturally for a few days. Sure enough, Shen Jiahe's expression improved a lot.

What farmers are most afraid of is getting sick. Knowing that Shen Jiahe is not in good health, no one urged him to get up early in the morning.Want to change to normal, so tired, and still not be caught by the elders?

After the Shen Jiahe brothers returned home, Fang Tianlin and Liu Cheng didn't have to go to the field anymore.Taking advantage of the free time before the summer harvest, Fang Tianlin began to fiddle with hunting bows.Most of the bows and arrows he uses in modern times are ready-made compound bows and recurve bows, and very few of them are made by himself.Fortunately, Fang Tianlin is not a complete novice. After several failures, he finally got a decent hunting bow.

On the same day, Fang Tianlin took it to Shaochong Mountain to try his hand.The result was good, and several pheasants and hares were hunted.But that's it, if you want to hunt large and medium-sized game, you have to go deep into the mountains, and you can only try your luck on the periphery.

It is hot now, and the prey is easy to spoil, so it must be sent to the town as soon as possible.In order to save money, the Shen family was reluctant to ride in an ox cart, and Fang Tianlin was not good at being independent, so he could only go with the crowd and walk around the world on his legs.

Usually the prey is taken by Mr. Shen to sell in the town. Fang Tianlin has been in Guangyan Village for so long, but he has never left the village once.This time, he plans to follow.

Father Shen lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then agreed.When he set off, he saw someone behind the third daughter-in-law, so he pretended not to see him.

Walking for half an hour in a row is not strenuous for the farmers.Fang Tianlin has also been exercising in the past two months, and his body has returned to his previous 20-year-old appearance, so he doesn't feel strenuous at all walking this distance.Just thinking of the bottomed out food reserves in the water space, Fang Tianlin felt that the future was bleak.

Without extra meals, why can't he only eat half full every day?Thinking of this, Fang Tianlin unconsciously rubbed his empty stomach.

After two months, Fang Tianlin was no longer as thin as a stick, and his figure was strong and straight. No one who met him for the first time would treat him as someone's wife.Even if he is from Guangyan Village, if he is not paying attention, he will be classified as the head of the family.

The two elders of the Shen family are used to this, but they still sigh a few times from time to time.Did this bring back a daughter-in-law for the third son, or was there another "son" in the family?

Especially Mrs. Zhang, always felt that the third son and his wife got along very strangely, but couldn't tell what was so strange.I was full of questions in my heart, and I didn't have a place to talk. I chatted with the old man a few times, but I couldn't get a definite answer.

Yufeng Town is not big, and today is the market day, but at this point, the time for the market has long passed, and there is no lively scene full of people in the town.

If so, it is enough for Fang Tianlin who has only seen the antique town on TV.He saw that everything was new, but fortunately he had a sullen face, but he didn't show much, the bewildered look of a countryman who came to the city for the first time.

Father Shen was familiar with the house and the road, and brought his third son and his wife into a restaurant.Thanks to the blessings of his three daughters-in-law, Father Shen always came to sell prey, and when he came and went, he got in touch with one of the only two restaurants in the town with a slightly higher grade.

Fang Tianlin felt a little uncomfortable watching Father Shen bowing slightly, chatting with Caimai with a smiling face the whole time.But this is the reality. Regardless of the nice words, "Scholar, Farmer, Businessman" is not like this in real life.Anyway, if a farmer with no background wants to sell their production at a good price, they have to save face.Those who can't let go of their figure will lose their face, and their insides will be a little ugly.

Fang Tianlin seldom asks someone to let him let go of the self-esteem he has cultivated over the years. He is afraid that he will not be able to do it.Maybe it was only possible because of being pushed into a hurry.

It was precisely because he couldn't do it that Fang Tianlin admired Father Shen's ability to bend and stretch.In just two months, he deeply realized that it is not easy to be a farmer.Aside from being exposed to the sun and rain, one must have a flexible mind, otherwise, life may be uncertain.

After getting rid of the game, Father Shen handed Shen Jiahe some copper coins.It was rare for the third daughter-in-law to enter the town once, so he asked him to take his daughter-in-law for a stroll, while Father Shen himself went to wait by the tea shed outside the town.

Shen Jiahe smiled and stuffed the copper money into his daughter-in-law's hand.

Fang Tianlin was speechless looking at the small string of copper plates in his hand.What can I buy with this little money?But after thinking about it, he only saved more than 300 Wen in two months, and it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty Wen in his hand, which should be a lot.You can buy more than a catty of pork, a dozen strings of candied haws, eat seven or eight bowls of bone soup noodles, and buy more than a dozen big meat buns.

These prices were observed by Fang Tianlin along the way. As for the prices of the food in the restaurant, he did not know.

Fang Tianlin didn't buy any food in the end, he asked Shen Jiahe to wait outside the store, while he went in and bought a catty and a half of salt.Half a catty was bought for the family, and the other catty was stuffed in the back basket by him, which actually entered the water space.

The summer harvest is coming soon, so eating more salt is enough.He was really fed up with the days of lack of salt and oil.It can be tolerated without oil, and with the game he hunted as a base, it will not be too short of oil and water, and without salt, any dishes will lose their taste.The greasy it is, the more unappetizing it is.I don't know how the Shen family's tongue grows, maybe it's because they have been used to it for many years, not to mention the slightest discomfort, and they eat very deliciously.When there are meat dishes on the table, it is even a few chopsticks down to see the bottom.

Fang Tianlin walked around the whole street, even the cosmetic shops that he wasn't interested in, he went in and took a walk around, really seeing what the disparity between rich and poor is.The cheapest rouge and gouache cost ten or twenty pennies a box, and the homespun cloth worn by the people at the bottom cost several pennies a foot.For a man of his size, it would cost at least forty or fifty yuan to make a suit of clothes.These are the lowest class items, a little better will only cost you more.

So, if you just want to eat and drink, it's okay to say, if you want to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is really a bit difficult for the common people.Farmers, they can handle their own food and vegetables, and at most buy some fish and meat seasonings. In fact, it doesn’t cost a lot of money.But counting other expenses, it is a bit stretched.It is impossible for a person not to wear clothes, and he cannot live without a shelter from the wind and rain. In addition to some human relationships, it is really impossible to have no money in hand.

Yufeng Town is only that big, and Fang Tianlin quickly visited all the shops.Of course, he didn't go in those shops that didn't welcome people of their background at first glance, just to make fun of himself.

When the two arrived at the meeting place, Father Shen was leaning against the tea shop, reluctant to even drink a bowl of tea.It wasn't until he saw the two people coming that he ordered a bowl for them.The water they brought over had already been drunk long ago.After driving for half an hour in Xia Tian, ​​it is possible to pass out without some water.

Fang Tianlin went to the store to ask for a bowl, poured half of the bowl of tea for Father Shen, and shared the remaining half with Shen Jiahe.

Seeing this, Father Shen was so happy that the wrinkles on his face stretched out.

The weather was hot, and none of the three people on the road was in the mood to talk, and they hurried on the road with their heads depressed, but it was faster than when they went.

As soon as he got home, Fang Tianlin put the salt bag in the kitchen, and said to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, I bought half a catty of salt. I will harvest it in summer soon. Put more in the meals these days, so that everyone can grow stronger, and the summer harvest will also be harvested soon." Can be faster."

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback when she heard the words.She had never thought about this question, and the others had the same expression.

The situation in the ten miles and eight townships near Guangyan Village is similar. Everyone has been here since they were born, and only those who are willing to buy food in the town know what the real food tastes like.

Mrs. Zhang was very puzzled. Isn't the third daughter-in-law's family so poor that they can't get rid of it?How come it looks better than their life?

Although every time she meets this daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang always has a lot of things she can't figure out, but she is still very happy about the third daughter-in-law's act of adding things to the house. She immediately promised that starting tonight, everyone will be happy. salty.
