After dinner, Shen Ruolan cleaned up the dishes, took off her shoes and sat on the kang, took out the money bag and started counting the money.
One penny, two pennies... a large pile of scattered copper coins, the total is only one hundred and fifty-seven cash, which is all her savings at present.
The five taels of silver she earned the last time was spent by her on iron stoves, fruit charcoal, books and daily necessities, and she spent more than three taels of silver. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and took out another one or two for no reason.
There is only this little money left, and if something happens, it will definitely not be enough. The experience of two lifetimes tells her that no matter what time a person is, it is always right to keep more money with him. On her body, she has no idea!
After thinking about it, she decided to go out to earn some money tomorrow. When Zhang Eryong came, didn't he say that Jizhou was prosperous and rich, so she went to Jizhou to try her luck, maybe she could make a lot of money there. !
After thinking about it, I finally made up my mind to prepare tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow.
The next morning, when Shen Fucun came to deliver water, Shen Ruolan told him that she was going out for a while, and entrusted him to help her take care of the two wild sheep during her absence.
As for the excuse to go out, she has already found it, which is to find her father.
The scumbag father has been away from home for several months, and there has been no news of it. As his only daughter, she is naturally obliged to look for it.
This reason is adequate and reasonable, after all, no one can stop someone from being filial, right? If you stop him from letting him go, if something happens to his father, who can bear the responsibility
Although Shen Fucun was a little worried, but his cousin wanted to be filial, and he was not easy to stop him as a cousin, so he could only tell her to be more careful on the road, no matter if she found it or not, she should come back as soon as possible, in case something happened Things, find a way to send a letter to my family, etc...
Shen Ruolan agreed, and assured him that she would take good care of herself, and that she would come back before the Chinese New Year no matter whether her father was found or not, Shen Fucun was relieved.
After going back, Shen Fucun told Shen Debao about Shen Ruolan going out to find her father, and Shen Debao pondered for a long time before saying: "Lan Ya, this child has changed, she is completely different from before!"
"Yes, I think so too." Shen Fucun also felt the same way.
Although they both chose to ignore Shen Lanya in the past, they lived in a village for many years, and the two families were neighbors. It can be said that they didn't see each other when they looked up. They still knew Lanya's temperament a little bit. Timid and fearful, trembling, always timid, like yesterday's weak Shen Lanya, who actually didn't suffer at all.
I don't know if it was the hardships of life that made her change, or because of other reasons, but this child has changed, becoming stronger and more capable than before.
It's a good thing that the child has become stronger. Both Shen Debao and Shen Fucun are happy to hear about it. If she is still the same as before, they are really worried that she will go so far.
After Shen Fucun left, Shen Ruolan picked all the green vegetables planted in the east room, washed them and put them in the space. Anyway, the space has the function of keeping fresh, and it will be as fresh as when it was just picked for a long time, so you never have to worry about it going bad.
The sauerkraut in the sauerkraut tank was also fished out, cut into thin shreds, and stored in the space after being squeezed, and kept for later making dumplings or eating sauerkraut hot pot.
She wants to take away all the edible food from the family. Grandma and third uncle already know that she is living a good life now, and they may come to their house to search at any time. She doesn't want to take advantage of them for nothing.
Even the potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and sweet potatoes were put away, and nothing was left outside. Want to kill her? Go dreaming!
After finishing all this work, it was almost noon. She made a piece of noodles, chopped some sauerkraut, and used the pork belly stored in the space to make dumplings stuffed with pork belly and sauerkraut. The aunt's family brought out a large bowl.
Yesterday I was fighting with my aunt and her son's family, and Aunt Xie helped her a lot, so she should express her gratitude no matter what the reason.
After the dumplings were wrapped, she cooked a pot first, which was going to be sent to Mrs. Xie’s family, and there was still a cover that was not cooked, and she kept it for cooking when she came back from delivering the dumplings, otherwise they were all cooked and left for a long time It won't taste good anymore.
After cooking, she put the dumplings into a basket, and put a large bowl on top of the big bowl to keep the dumplings from getting cold.
I rushed to Mrs. Xie's house, and before I could enter the door, I heard the old and powerful voice of the old aunt from the house: "You must be in good health, and your buttocks must be bigger, so you can give birth..."
puff! What does this mean? Want to buy a pig
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xie's voice came: "Mother said that the previous Xiangxiu was quite handsome, but unfortunately her butt was flat and small, and something happened to her child all her life. This time, she must find her for Dachun." A big ass."
Well! It turned out that they were discussing Shen Dachun's marriage.
Shen Ruolan raised her forehead. It turns out that there are such advantages to having a big butt. It seems that no matter in ancient times or in modern times, women with big butts are more popular than women with small butts. To stay at home!
Just as she was lamenting, Qiuping's sister-in-law saw a figure outside the window and said, "Hey, who is outside?"
Shen Ruolan hurriedly said: "It's me, Lan Ya, I brought you dumplings."
"Ah, dumplings? This is a rare item!"
Qiuping's sister-in-law hurriedly got up and opened the door, and welcomed Shen Ruolan into the room.
It just so happened that their family was sitting in the main room eating, to be precise, they were having a family meeting while eating. The content of the meeting was to choose a wife for Shen Dachun. Shen Ruolan's arrival temporarily terminated their family meeting. Everyone Stop talking, and greet Shen Ruolan with a smile.
Shen Ruolan also politely greeted everyone one by one. Each of them held a piece of dark sorghum flour pancake in their hands, and there were two earthenware bowls in the middle of the table, one of which was filled with mustard greens that had been cut into pieces. , one is filled with red stewed potatoes in potherb, clear soup and clear water, it is not delicious at first glance.
Only Xiao Zhuzi held a yellow cornmeal pancake in his hand. The little guy is not in good health. This cornmeal pancake should be a special meal for the child to replenish his body. Although it is a special meal, the little guy still has no appetite. He chews very hard. Slow down, when swallowing, her thin neck stretched and stretched, and she looked so hard to swallow, Shen Ruolan felt a little distressed when she saw it.
"Mrs. Xie, let's eat. It's just right. I'll bring you dumplings."
She took out the big bowl from the basket and put it on the table.
The white and fragrant dumplings lay there one by one, still steaming, in stark contrast to the dark pancakes on the table.
Xiao Zhuzi's eyes were straightened, and he couldn't help but leaned forward, sucked his nose, put his little hand into his mouth and began to suck.
Aunt Xie also sniffed her nose twice, and asked, "Lan Ya, what is the stuffing for these dumplings? Why are they so delicious? You brought us so many, do you have enough for yourself?"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "It's stuffed with sauerkraut. I packed a lot, so I brought out a portion for your family. You can eat it while it's hot. I'll be going back soon." She was still in a hurry to go back to eat.
Aunt Xie also didn't meet her, and said with a smile: "Well, you can go back and do your work. Madam will not be polite to you. When the bowl is empty, I will ask your sister-in-law Qiuping to send it to you."
"No hurry!" Shen Ruolan agreed, and went home to eat dumplings.
After eating the dumplings, Qiuping's sister-in-law came over to bring her a bowl, and Shen Ruolan casually gossiped about what she heard about Shen Dachun'er's marriage today.
Qiuping's sister-in-law didn't hide it from her, and told her the standards of Shen Dachun's future daughter-in-law discussed at home.
You have to be big and round, with a hot personality, filial piety and hard work. It doesn't matter if you are a virgin, but you must have a clean reputation, and you must never find another slutty woman like Youshi!
