Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

The construction of the river channel has finally officially started. It takes nearly an hour to walk from Taoyuan Village to there, and it will be faster with an ox cart.

Most of the families in Taoyuan Village only send one person to work according to the regulations. The big guys still don't trust the court very much, but they are afraid that they will not send money.At that time, all the hard work will be in vain, and the work at home will also be delayed. If people are not released during the busy farming season, it will be even more worrying.But there are also some families who are too poor to open the pot, and those who have surplus labor will take the initiative to go. At any rate, the rations during this period can be saved.

According to the previous arrangement, Chang Xixing was the first to go there to work for the third bedroom of the Chang family.Although the distance is not too far, it is too hard to go back and forth, so I live there on weekdays, and so do other families in Taoyuan Village.

The hottest topic in Taoyuan Village these days is nothing more than the matter of digging the river channel. They are discussing whether the money will be paid, whether the work there is tiring, how the food is on weekdays, whether they have been bullied, and so on.Because the Chang Family Sanfang wanted to do business there, they cared more about what was going on there, and they mentioned it every day at dinner, and they didn't feel tired of repeating the topic many times.But no one has the time to take a look, and it's useless to look, so they don't know anything about the situation.

"I don't know if anyone wants to go with us. If someone snatches you first, it will be really annoying."

Cao Ersao worried that since she ate the pig's trotters and snail stew, she felt that the business might not succeed.Such good food can be sold for money in the county.It's just that the cost of doing business in the county is too high, and it may not be possible to do business without access to good things.Now when she sees snails, it's as if she sees money, and she always dreams of making a fortune at night.

As soon as these words fell, everyone suddenly became a little worried.

Although the Chang family thought that the food they made tasted good, but the business of multiple competitors was even more hanging in the balance.Usually, family members often go to the market to sell the crops they grow and raise, and the simple business experience is still clear.

Mrs. Wang also looked worried, "Isn't it? No one has sent me a message. My heart has never been at ease."

Mrs. Wang is not only worried about future business, but also afraid that her man will suffer a lot there.Although the usual farm work is also very tiring, but at least I work for my own family, and I won't be too tired, so I don't know where it is.

But Mrs. Sun disagreed and said: "How can other people compare to what we have come up with? Why don't you worry about it? Why don't you think about how to learn this craft well."

Second Aunt Cao couldn't help but said, "Then we have to practice it before we know..."

Although Chang Xile also taught a few sisters-in-law how to make snail and pig's trotters during this period, they were only taught verbally, and they never had the opportunity to do it themselves.It's really easy to find snails, other ingredients are too expensive, and the family's situation is not good, so grandma, who manages money, is reluctant.

Grandma Sun spat at her directly, "You are so beautiful, can you afford that thing! If you can't do it, then don't do it, so as not to waste things."

Second Aunt Cao curled her lips, although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, she did not speak.After all, it's my mother-in-law, even if I'm right, it's unreasonable if I talk back.

At this moment, Chang Xile quickly said: "Mother, you can't say that, no matter what you do, you have to practice your hands. It's just that our family is in a bad situation, and we have to wait until we really make up our minds to start this business, and then let a few sisters-in-law Follow me, it’s normal if you can’t do well at first.”

Although his mother is hard-working and quick in handling things, she is also very kind to him.But sometimes they are always too harsh on their daughter-in-law, and they are a bit patriarchal, which is not conducive to family unity and has an impact on the personality of the children.He couldn't bear the noise in the house, as long as he heard people quarreling over trivial matters, his head hurt.

After hearing Chang Xile's words, Mrs. Sun immediately softened her attitude, "My Xiaowu is the most considerate person, but as a daughter-in-law, what else can I do if I can't do a good job on the stove?"

While Mrs. Sun praised Chang Xile, she also did not forget to apply eye drops to the daughter-in-laws.

The three daughters-in-law have long been used to it and behaved differently.

The eldest sister-in-law is the most kind, with a resigned look; the second sister-in-law secretly rolled her eyes, very dissatisfied but didn't say anything;

"Okay, don't say a few words, it's not good to say anything from your mouth. The work on this stove is easy to do casually, but if you want to do it well, you have to pay attention. Not everyone can eat it."

Father Chang, who had been silent all this time, said that he did not agree with Mrs. Sun on this point.On weekdays, he doesn't care how grandma beats his daughters-in-law, but he can't tolerate any mistakes about the family's livelihood.

Only then did Grandma Sun shut up, not daring to use this matter to scold her daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Wu's recipe, although it is mainly made of cheap snails, has nothing to say about the taste. I have traveled all over the world when I was young, and I have never seen such a method. We just take up the word "fresh". No matter whether the business is successful or not in the future, I will put the ugly words first, and no one can spread this prescription after you have learned it! Even your mother’s family will not succeed, otherwise don’t blame me for being unreasonable!”

Father Chang said very sternly, his eyes swept over the women present, including Mrs. Sun, which made the four of them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Especially Mrs. Wang, her whole face flushed red.

Sister-in-law Wang is the poorest of the three daughters-in-laws, and her family is truly unresolved, and she is not from Taoyuan Village.When she got married, she didn't have any dowry at all, even the dowry was given away by her family.But when she married Chang Xixing, the Chang family was at its best time. She was a high-ranking married woman at that time, and many people envied her.

It can be said that Chang Xixing and Mrs. Wang are in free love. When they met at the market, they immediately hit each other.

After Chang Xixing went to inquire about it privately, he asked Mrs. Sun to propose marriage. This was the first time he took the initiative to fight for something for himself.At the beginning, Mrs. Sun didn't agree at all. It was Father Chang who saw that Mrs. Wang was hardworking and honest, and saw that Chang Xixing had been like a lump of wood since she was a child. He finally found something he liked, so he agreed.

In the beginning, Mrs. Wang's life was not easy. Grandma Sun felt uneasy and felt that her most obedient child would not listen to him, so she liked to pick on Mrs. Wang.It's all trivial things, but it's unpleasant after all.

However, Sister-in-Law Wang's stomach was up to date, and the male plus was indeed an honest and obedient person, which made Grandma Sun's attitude improve.But this is also related to Father Chang's attitude, he can't see the peace at home the most.Although Mrs. Sun has some minor problems, it is more verbal. Although she may be biased in her actions, she will not be like some people who do not treat their daughter-in-law as a human being.Although it is said that boys are preferred to girls, there is no less food and drink for the granddaughters, but there will be more boys and grandchildren.

Over the years, Sister-in-law Wang has subsidized her natal family, and the members of the Chang family knew about it, but they all turned a blind eye.The same is true for Grandma Sun. During the festival, as long as there is one at home, the annual gift for the daughter-in-law is also very generous.

This also made Mrs. Wang even more ashamed, and always felt that she was a head short in this family.Hearing what Father Chang said now, I just feel a burning pain in my face, and my head is almost pressed to the floor.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Chang Xi said, "If our business is really successful, our family alone won't be enough, we will definitely need help from relatives."

Grandma Sun disagreed and said, "How can this small business need other people's help? We have so many people in our family, we are too busy."

Chang Xile said with a smile: "Mother, I am really arrogant when I say this now, but we also have to look at the long-term. There are thousands of people working there. I asked before that there are troops stationed nearby. If there are too many people, I am not afraid of it." Business. We have to clean up the snails every day, and it’s already a lot of trouble to boil brine to make all kinds of side dishes. How can we have time to make the rice noodles? We must divide this work by then, and it’s better for everyone to make a fortune than one person.”

Father Chang nodded, "That's the reason. This business is only temporary. We can't invest all of it in it. We can't lose the work in the field. At that time, it's better to let others make rice noodles, and we will pay for it. Your uncle's rice noodles make rice noodles." If the business is really good, then let his family help."

Grandma Sun still thinks it's inappropriate. There are so many labors in their family, why can't they do it by themselves.If you do it for others, you will have to earn less. You can’t earn much in the first place, so if you can save it, you will save it.

Chang Xile knew that Grandma Sun's mind hadn't turned around yet, and she didn't intend to continue talking.After all, nothing has started now, everything is just fantasy, and it is unknown how big the business can be.

"It's a bit early to say these things now. My eldest brother has been away for half a month. I guess the situation there has stabilized, and I can probably see what it looks like. I plan to take a look in two days to find out the situation and see Can this business be done? By the way, bring some delicious food for big brother to make up for, it must be very tiring, and it must have lost a lot of weight because of the sun so much today."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "No need, it's enough for your elder brother to have something to eat. Why are you so particular about it?"

Grandma Sun was unhappy when she heard this, "How can you not make up for such a heavy job, why don't you know how to feel sorry for your man."

"Mom, I, I didn't..."

Mrs. Wang suddenly didn't know what to say, she stammered for a long time and couldn't explain why.It's not that she doesn't love her husband, it's because she's used to treating herself harshly.And Chang Xixing is also such a person, so the couple always think about saving money for the family, forgetting their own needs.

Chang Xile couldn't help but touch her forehead, and finally understood why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so tense, they are completely natural enemies!It's really wrong no matter what you say, if Mrs. Wang agrees just now, it will definitely be said to be extravagant and wasteful, and she is the only one who enjoys things.

Chang Xile's sleeves were tugged, and it was Chang Yu who was nestled in his arms, looking at him with bright eyes.

Chang Xile smiled and touched his head.

Chang Yu's wounds healed quickly, but in less than half a month, all the wounds on his body were scarred, and the shallower wounds and scars had already begun to peel off.

"Impatient? I'll take you out to play in two days."

Chang Yuxing might not understand the meaning of the words, but he knew from Chang Xile's expression and tone that it must be a good thing, so he immediately became happy and clapped his hands there.Clap your hands and applaud, he just learned it these days.

Chang Xile's impatience dissipated when she saw Chang Yu playing tricks, and then she said, "On that day, we must make delicious food and send it over, and it will still be fragrant."

Chang Xiwang couldn't help but take a deep breath, "If I had known, I would have gone there first! But, why is that?"

Chang Xisheng was the first to understand Chang Xile's intentions, "When the time comes, the people there will be greedy, and I won't be afraid that there will be no business in the future! The food made by Xiao Wu is delicious, and the next day someone will ask me What delicious food did the family cook last night, it was so delicious that they almost starved to death."

Chang Xiwang scratched his head, "Fifth brother, you are really amazing, why didn't I think of this level!"

Chang Xisheng glanced at him, "Aside from eating, what else do you know?"

Chang Xiwang wasn't angry either, and said with a smile, "Don't we do business only like people like me who know how to eat?"

These words immediately made everyone happy.

Second Aunt Cao said bluntly, "You have to be rich, otherwise what's the use of just knowing what to eat."

Chang Xiwang immediately became unhappy, "You two parents-in-law know how to bully me together, daughter-in-law, you have to help me too, we can't lose to the second brother and second sister-in-law!"

The third sister-in-law Ding, who is usually the most gentle and quiet, couldn't help laughing at this time, and gave him a blank look, "Second brother and second sister-in-law are right, how can I help you?"

Chang Xiwang burst into tears immediately, "Why is my life so hard! No one in my family is partial to me! Niuniu, when you grow up, you will love your father dearly."

Chang Xiwang wasn't afraid of being ashamed, so he wailed and wailed while pretending, and picked up Niuniu and threw her up, only making Niuniu giggle with joy.

Seeing this, the children all gathered together and made a fuss with Chang Xiwang, one wanted to hold his leg and the other pulled his clothes, and also wanted to throw them high.Chang Xiwang lived up to expectations and threw all the small ones, not even the locust tree, which made the children giggle.

The adults were also infected by the children's laughter and smiled knowingly.The hard work of the day is also dispersed in laughter.
