After crossing over, it's hard

After returning from Ji Hai's home, Ji Nan and Li Ran and his wife were ready to start work. The sugar cane on the three acres of land at home had to be broken, the camellia oil fruit on the hill had to be picked, and the wild chestnuts and pecans found on the mountain had to be picked.In fact, the first two items are quite easy. The sugarcane is broken and pulled back by bullock cart, which takes at most two or three days. The camellia fruit can be picked in a day or two. On the mountain, you can't use a bullock cart to pull it, so you can only carry it back slowly with two people.

Before the start of work, Zhang Guihua came to his house and rushed through the door to bring them good news.After harvesting the rice, Zhang Guihua's family, unlike Li Ran's, still has sugar cane and camellia fruit to be harvested. Their family is relatively free now, and only late sweet potatoes and white radishes in the dry land are left to take home, but these will not be harvested until ten o'clock. Looks like the middle of the month until the time.

Zhang Guihua came to Li Ran's house excitedly, and said to Li Ran happily: "Xiaoran, Xiaoran, there is news about the lamb you want. Someone brought a message to my house today, saying that it was them these few days. I will drive over the lamb you want."

Li Ran asked Zhang Osmanthus to sit down, looked at Zhang Osmanthus in surprise and said, "Really, I will come in a few days, thank you so much Brother Osmanthus, if it wasn't for you, Ji Nan and I would have to go out again Town, time is so busy now, and there is no time to go out for a while, you really helped my family." It was originally agreed between Li Ran and Ji Nan that after bringing Uncle Zhang home, they would go abroad with Zhang Guihua town, to buy the lamb back home, but later Jinan was injured and couldn’t go at all. Later, Zhang Guihua told Li Ran that his brother had returned to Amu’s house, and Zhang Guihua asked his brother to bring a message. No one who sells sheep will deliver the lambs to their door.Although they couldn't pick the lambs themselves, it would be nice for someone to deliver them to their door, saving them from buying the lambs themselves and driving the sheep home by themselves.This saves a lot of things.

After hearing Li Ran's words, Zhang Guihua waved her hand, looked at Li Ran and said angrily, "What kind of thing is this? The potato flour I made, wrapped in something and fried, is really delicious."

Talking about the potato flour, Zhang Guihua went on to say: "Speaking of which, I came to you this time. Apart from telling you about buying lamb, there is one more thing I want to ask you. You told me last time that this Potato flour can also be used to make potato flour skins and potato flour strips, I came to ask you how you make these things." After Li Ran made the potato flour, he sent some to Zhang Guihua's family, and Zhang Guihua followed Li Ran's method, He fried the food and ate it. It was really delicious, and it was not too oily, and the family could afford it.Especially the oil residue left after the fat is squeezed out of the oil is wrapped in potato flour and fried. It tastes better than eating meat.

Later, Zhang Guihua made potato flour by herself, but after Jinan was injured, Li Ran has been busy taking care of Jinan, Zhang Guihua was too embarrassed to bother Li Ran with these things, and has been procrastinating until now.

After Zhang Guihua mentioned it, Li Ran also remembered that he had been busy all this time, so he almost forgot.Li Ran smiled and said: "If it wasn't for Brother Osmanthus, I almost forgot about it when you talked about it today. The potato flour skin is very easy to make. You go back and reconcile the potato flour with noodles. Then spread it so thick." Li Ran gestured for a thickness with his hands, and then said: "After spreading them out, you lay them out and put them in one place and wait for them to dry by themselves. There are many ways, not much taste, and very full. But the potato vermicelli is more difficult, and I am not very clear about the specific process. I can't spare time to do this with Ji Nan, so I have to wait."

Zhang Guihua was very happy to win when she found out how to make potato flour skins, and said repeatedly: "It's fine if you have this one. Don't worry about the potato flour skins. After you figure it out, I'll have the cheek to ask." This method is not to hide it, who would be as unselfish as Li Ran, so Zhang Guihua was very grateful for Li Ran's trust, and secretly thought that he must not tell others.

Moreover, after what Zhang Guihua said, the matter of the potato noodle skins and potato noodle sticks gave Li Ran another idea. When the potato noodle sticks came out, he could make rice noodles as well, but in the end it could be opened in Pingyang Town I went to a small restaurant, and the potato vermicelli and rice noodles are very satisfying. Although Pingyang Town is not big, but because it is close to Qingyun Mansion, there are many peddlers and day laborers who come and go. The advantage of being hungry is that the business will definitely not be bad.At that time, he will buy some other food, so he is not afraid of losing money.But now Li Ran doesn't have time to worry about this matter, everything has to wait until they finish their family affairs.

Zhang Guihua went on to say: "By the way, what is the name of the one you planted? Oh, it is called sugarcane. It should be harvested. When will your family harvest it? Tell me when the time comes, and I will set it up for you." handle."

"Ah, there's no need for that, just me and Ji Nan." Li Ran declined.

Zhang Guihua said with a smile: "I know you and Ji Nan are fine. If there are more than one person, please take it back to the house quickly. Besides, there is nothing wrong with my house now. If something happens, I won't mention it. Don't be too polite." .”

When Zhang Guihua said this, she seemed too rusty and hypocritical when she said no, so Li Ran was not polite, and their family was indeed in a hurry, so hurry up as soon as possible. "That's fine, thank you first. My family will start breaking sugarcane tomorrow."

After the matter was finished, the two chatted a few more words, but here, there was a quarrel outside, which seemed to be very intense.As a country husband, Zhang Guihua has the most typical traits of a country husband, that is gossip and curiosity. As soon as he heard the quarrel outside, Zhang Guihua immediately stood up from the stool, and pulled Li Ran and said: "Go , let's go and see what's going on outside, who is arguing." Although Li Ran is not particularly interested, he still has a sense of watching the excitement in his heart, and there is really nothing to be busy at home, so he is in the yard Ji Nan said hello and followed Zhang Guihua out.

They are indeed very close to each other. When they left the courtyard gate of Li Ran's house, they saw people fighting and shouting not far away, and a few villagers standing in twos and threes watching the excitement.Zhang Guihua saw it, and muttered in surprise: "Hey, it's Feng Xiaohua and Li Er." After Zhang Guihua muttered, she pulled Li Ran and walked over quickly.

It's this time now, the rice in the village has been harvested, and Feng Xiaohua and Li's family don't know what's going on, the rice has not been harvested, and it has been delayed until today to harvest the rice on this mu of land On the contrary, they quarreled almost every day, and they were so quarreling.

The two of them finally came to harvest the rice of this mu today, but when the rice was harvested halfway, Li Er suddenly left, saying that he wanted to go back to the toilet.Feng Xiaohua would agree. After returning from the prison, Feng Xiaohua found that Li Er's signs were not right. There seemed to be someone outside. At first Li Er was still quibbling, but then Feng Xiaohua caught him on the spot, and now Feng Xiaohua exploded Li Er jumped up and scolded Li Er. Their family has been arguing for a while, and even delayed harvesting rice, because of this.

Feng Xiaohua disagreed, and the two quarreled on the spot. After a short quarrel, a husband who thought she was about the same age as Feng Xiaohua, but was better maintained than Feng Xiaohua and had a much better figure came, shouting outside the field. Li Er, this husband is Li Er's concubine outside, and has been caught several times by Feng Xiaohua.These Feng Xiaohua just grabbed Li Er's braid, pointed at the two of them and scolded them, scolding whatever was unpleasant.

No, Feng Xiaohua pointed at the husband and scolded: "You vixen, whore, bastard, the man in your own family can't satisfy you, so you come out to seduce other men, you are really sultry and itchy there Well! It’s really so coquettish, I need a man, I take off my clothes and go, some wild men want you to be a coquette, why come to seduce my man,,,, "Feng Xiaohua said a bunch of ugly things, listening The people who watched the excitement around were embarrassed.They all thought to themselves, this Feng Xiaohua is really vulgar and vulgar.

The husband who was scolded by Feng Xiaohua pointed at his nose did not talk back to Feng Xiaohua, but looked at Li Er with tears in his eyes, pitifully.Li Er's heart was warmed by the look, and he immediately stood in front of the husband, stared, and said sharply: "Shut up, shameless bastard, you will embarrass me."

Feng Xiaohua looked at Li Er protecting that vixen and scumbag like this, her eyes were red with anger, she jumped up, pointed at Li Er's nose and scolded: "Li Er, you shameless bastard, you were killed by the vixen outside. I'm confused, my heart has long been away from our sister-in-law, and you still have the nerve to talk about me here, I will never finish with you." After speaking, Feng Xiaohua suddenly exerted all her strength and rushed over like crazy, blocking the front , Li Er, who didn't make up his mind for a while, was pushed aside, and Feng Xiaohua slapped that husband with all his might, then pushed him to the ground, kicked, scratched, and cursed: "*, Vixen, scum, coquette, let you seduce my man,,,|

More and more villagers who watched the excitement nearby couldn't help but be speechless when they saw Feng Xiaohua's aggressive behavior.Over there, Li Er came back to his senses, seeing his beloved being treated like that by Feng Xiaohua, he came over and grabbed Feng Xiaohua's arm to the side, and then slapped Feng Xiaohua's face forcefully.Li Er is a farmer who is used to heavy work and has the strength of a handful. Feng Xiaohua was knocked down to the ground by his slap, and a trace of blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Feng Xiaohua was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.Li Er looked at the embarrassed Feng Xiaohua on the ground, and felt that Feng Xiaohua was vulgar, ugly, messy, and didn't understand anything.Everything is on his head, and he doesn't care about his face as a man.There is no comparison with Xiaoye at all, Xiaoye looks better than this Feng Xiaohua, and he is the first to understand etiquette.Compared with Feng Xiaohua, Li Er felt that Xiaoye was better.If Ah Mu hadn't been partial to his eldest brother, he would have married Xiaoye long ago, so there would be nothing wrong with Feng Xiaohua.

Li Er looked at Feng Xiaohua's eyes more and more gloomy and gloomy, and finally made up his mind that he must divorce Feng Xiaohua. Before Xiaoye had been telling him that he wanted him to divorce Feng Xiaohua, Li Er was still a little hesitant at that time. After all, he and Feng Xiaohua Feng Xiaohua has been married for decades, and has several children who are about to get married. Li Er still can't bear it, but after Feng Xiaohua made such a fuss today, Li Er has completely given up on Feng Xiaohua, and finally made up his mind.Men are like this, what you can't get is always the best, the more you want it.

As for Xiaoye behind Li Er, when no one could see her, the corner of her mouth curved into a smug and triumphant smile.All of this today was intentional and designed by him.He was half-sold by his father and Ah Mu and married into his current husband's family. His life was not very good. In addition, he had never had a child, and his husband's family had long complained. To suspend his plan.If he was suspended and went home, he would have no way out. That's why he thought of Li Er. He casually inquired and found out that Li Er's husband was imprisoned. Find Li Er, this Li Er still has feelings for him, and the two of them will get along with each other, but every time he cryptically asks Li Er to divorce his husband, Li Er is always hesitant, but in Under his means, it has become more and more loose, so there is today's move.Xiaoye glanced at Feng Xiaohua on the ground, and thought to herself, I also want to survive, if you want to blame it, blame your own bad life.

The farce ended with Li Er taking Xiao Ye out of the field.After watching the uproar, Zhang Guihua went home, and Li Ran also went home.Looking at what happened to Feng Xiaohua just now, to be honest, Li Ran felt a little heavy in his heart. In some respects, Feng Xiaohua had such an experience, and he had certain factors. Ran has never regretted it. If he hadn't been so ruthless at the beginning, their family would be the unlucky one now.People say, "If people do not work for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them." Li Ran considers himself a layman and cannot achieve the state of self-sacrifice for others. He just wants his family to live a stable and happy life.

The farce between Feng Xiaohua and Li Er didn't affect Li Ran too much. When he got home and saw Ji Nan busy in the yard, the heaviness in Li Ran's heart disappeared instantly, and his heart felt inexplicably stable.

The next day was breaking the sugarcane. Three adults, Li Ran and Zhang Guihua in Jinan, and Xiaoyuan Gousheng and two young men from Zhang Guihua's family all followed. Breaking the sugarcane is not a heavy fresh job, children Curious, come to play.Four children and four grown dogs ran around playing in the sugarcane field while eating sugarcane, and didn't bother to help break the sugarcane.

Zhang Guihua looked at her two children, so worried, shouted angrily, and felt very embarrassed in her heart, they came to help break the sugar cane, these two bastards didn't help break the sugar cane, they were ignorant It's outrageous to eat sugar cane and play around.Li Ran comforted Zhang Guihua with a smile and said: "Brother Osmanthus is fine, children, don't they just like to play, besides, there are so many sugarcane in the field, how much can a few children eat, don't talk about them." Li Ran said and called A few children finished it by themselves, but told them not to go to the pond to play.

This is the first time to plant sugarcane this year, but the yield is surprisingly good. There are probably tens of thousands of sugarcane in the three mu of land. Of course, this yield is incomparable to the modern sugarcane yield.It took the three of them less than two days to break off all the sugarcane and carry it home.Fortunately, the yard of Li Ran's house is large, and Ji Nan laid two layers of bluestone bricks on the ground beside the yard. These bluestone bricks were extra from the original house construction.Stack the cane on top and cover with a large oilcloth.Three acres of sugarcane piled up in the yard, like a small hill, very scary.

After breaking the sugarcane, Li Ran gave some to the better families, like Ji Ama and Li Ama's family each had [-], and Zhang Guihua's family gave [-], because Zhang Osmanthus helped, and he didn't want the money. , also seemed too unfamiliar, so Li Ran gave more sugarcane.Another thing is to send some to Zhang Wang's family, Ji Xi's family, Zhao Youting, and Ji Hai in the town. After attending Ji Hai's wedding ceremony, Li Ran and Ji Nan regard Ji Hai as relatives they can have a relationship with.After all, this sugar cane is considered a rarity in Pingyang Town, so let them try it out, just like the watermelon back then.Li Ran planned to boil all these sugar cane into brown sugar, except for gifts and food for his own family. It would definitely be another income by then.

However, there are still things to be busy at home now, so we have to wait for the delivery of sugar cane and boiled brown sugar.After breaking off the sugarcane, Ji Nan and Li Ran went up to the small hill to pick the camellia fruit in one go. There were not many tea oil fruits at all, only about fifty plants. The two of them didn't go home for lunch at noon. Uncle Zhang made lunch and sent him small mountain buns, and they finished picking them around four o'clock in the afternoon, which was relatively fast.The yield of tea oil fruit is not bad. I picked eight baskets and piled them up under the eaves and corridors with boards to let them crack naturally. After winter, when the cats are wintering, I can peel off the kernels inside and squeeze them out after drying. Oil.

After breaking the sugar cane, Zhang Guihua's talk about giving away the lamb really came. This time, besides the lamb seller, Zhang Guihua's younger brother also came. First, he followed to lead the way, and second, he came look at his brother.The lamb seller gave a total of forty sheep this time. They all looked healthy, and they were all quite old. The big ones were three or four months old, and the young ones were one or two months old.Li Ran was very satisfied and wanted to download everything.Originally, Li Ran never thought of raising so many sheep, but he was very satisfied with seeing these sheep, so he thought that if he raised twenty sheep, he would be able to raise them, and if he raised forty sheep, he would also want them all. When he came to Jijia Village, he was embarrassed to tell others that he couldn't ask for so much.

Fortunately, the house built to raise animals was big, and it could only house a cow and a dozen chickens, so it could easily accommodate these sheep. There are so many sheep in such a big place.

At the beginning, Li Ran bought all the wasteland under the hill. Now it is full of grass, which can be used to herd sheep. It is also close to home, so it is easy to look after. Anyway, Li Ran didn't think of planting these wastelands for a while. What, just start raising sheep in a panic.Xiaoyuan and Gousheng looked at this flock of sheep, and liked them very much, so they wanted to play with them. Later, Li Ran saw that they liked sheep so much, so he simply told Gousheng to watch the sheep in the wasteland every day. , give him ten pennies a day, and tell Li Ran when he gets bored.And watching the sheep is also very easy, you don't need to watch it all the time.It's autumn now, and Li Ran found a large area of ​​honeysuckle growing at the foot of the small hill. This honeysuckle can be used as medicine, and Li Ran didn't have time to pick it, so he told Gou Sheng to pick it back and dry it in the sun. You can get a lot of money if you sell it at the pharmacy.

Of course Gou Sheng heard that Li Ran was very happy. He had suffered such pain since he was a child, and he was more sensible than ordinary children. He knew that it was not easy for Grandma to support him. Now that his uncle is grown, Grandma is already feeding him. Looking at others, the dowry of my uncle is now short. If he can earn money, it can also reduce the burden on grandma, so that my uncle can get married in a good manner.

But after he was happy, Gousheng was very embarrassed. This small mountain bag was bought by Li Ama’s family. These honeysuckle flowers that can be sold should belong to Li Ama’s family. It’s already a good deal for ten pennies a day to look after the sheep. How can I still ask for the money from selling these honeysuckle flowers?

Gousheng raised his head, looked at Li Ran with clear eyes, and said, "Ah Li, I can't get the money from selling these honeysuckle flowers. Those are things from your family, how can I want them!"

Li Ran was both sad and happy when he heard Gousheng's words. The sad thing is that Gousheng is only so big, and he can think of so many things. It's not because he ate too much and cried. After a lot of ups and downs, you can still maintain a pure and kind heart. How many people in this world learn to be bad and become bad because of the ups and downs.Li Ran rubbed Gousheng's head, and said softly: "It's okay, you deserve those. Besides, Auntie Li is so busy that she doesn't have time to pick them. If you don't pick them, you can only waste them. So it's okay." Gou Sheng wanted to decline again, but was stopped by Li Ran, and finally Gou Sheng nodded in agreement, but he thought in his heart that he must repay Amo Li's family well in the future, they took care of their family like this.

After picking the camellia oleifera, the couple went to the mountain to pick the chestnuts and pecans back home. The chestnuts and pecans were far away, and they were in the mountains. It took them eight days to completely They picked it up and went home, and piled it all up in the warehouse that was set aside.These things can be put away for a while, so there is no rush to deal with them.

The two were driving an ox cart, and they piled sugar cane on it, all of which were to be given away.First, I went to Ji Hai's house on the road. Like Grandma Ji's house, they had [-] roots.He didn't sit at Ji Hai's house, and went directly to the town.
