Aunt Zhang had nothing else to do with her, except that she was going to the county town tomorrow, and asked her if she wanted to go with her
Of course Lian Fangzhou wanted to go, but she had more important things to do, so she could only say "next time"!
"Aunt Zhang, I won't be going tomorrow." Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Can I ask Aunt Zhang to buy something for me?"
Aunt Zhang didn't ask her why she didn't go, she nodded readily, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with that? Tell me, what do you want to buy, Aunt Zhang, the ones I bought for you are good and cheap!"
Both of them laughed.
Even Fangzhou actually wanted to buy nothing else, just to paste the window paper, and then pull some fabric to make clothes, and buy a pair of shoes for everyone in the family.
Everything else was fine, except when she said that she wanted to buy shoes, Aunt Zhang gave her a look and said, "You girl, the money must be spent wisely, and you can't be extravagant! Where can I buy shoes? Do it yourself It’s okay? There are still many places to spend money in the future! Don’t waste it like this! I just want to make shoes, so I’ll ask the tailor’s master for some more rags, and I’ll give you some when I come back. I’ll keep it for you. Just buy a bag of needles and threads for shoe soles!"
"Aunt Zhang, I..." Lian Fangzhou was speechless for a moment.
She was very grateful for Aunt Zhang's words like this, from the bottom of her heart. But she is a cheater and doesn't know how to make shoes!
I have never seen anything like a shoe sole!
If it weren't for the simple clothes of the poor in ancient times, it would be enough to ask the aunt or sister-in-law who is good at work in the village to help out a little bit. She can't even make clothes.
It's just that the original Lian Fangzhou knew it, so she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Oh!" Aunt Zhang sighed softly, and said pitifully, "It's no wonder you say that, Qing'er is still young, and you have to take care of the housework and work in the fields by yourself, so you really don't have much time. I’m making shoes! Among other things, it takes a lot of work to get the soles!”
Lian Fangzhou secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although Aunt Zhang misunderstood, she wished for such a misunderstanding!
So he smiled and was about to speak—
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang went on to say: "Let's do this! Ajuan and I will help you fix the soles of your shoes! You just need to glue the uppers of your shoes in your spare time—hey, you can't refuse! This matter is settled like that!"
Aunt Zhang said that Lian Fangzhou really couldn't say anything to refuse, so she nodded in agreement and thanked her with a smile.
After breakfast the next day, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze spread out the mushrooms they picked yesterday in a dustpan and put them in the doorway to dry. They told Lian Fangqing and Lian Che to keep watch at home and move back to the house if it rained. Li; the sun moved, and moved the dustpan.
The two went to Xianteng Mountain again.
Sun Changxing went early in order to buy more time for hunting. They didn't need to hunt, and there were plenty of mushrooms in the mountains, so they didn't need to go out too early.
For seven or eight days in a row, the siblings went to Xianteng Mountain every day, and picked four bags of big mushrooms every day. Carry it home like a groundhog.
Having spent a lot of time walking in that mountain, the two of them got to know each other a lot, became more courageous, and had a much wider range of activities.
The luck of the two was good, and later they found a lot of white fungus, as well as some precious boletus and Hericium erinaceus. I also accidentally found a huge Shouwu tree, which is a good thing, but it made Lian Fangzhou very happy.
The two of them did not miss the green shrimp in the river. Occasionally, the two can see a big fish that is as wide as three fingers, but this wild fish thief is very delicate, with a streamlined figure, swishing in the water as fast as lightning, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze tiptoed, By the time we got to the front, he had already moved to another place!
The two had no choice but to give up.
But one day at noon, the two caught a tortoise the size of a palm. The tortoise was lying on the rocks on the shore basking in the sun at that time, and it easily fell into the hands of the two, planning to take it home for Lian Fangqing and Lian Che to play with.
There are countless wild fruits in the mountains, besides the small jujube grove, there are many mountain chestnuts, sand pears, wild persimmons, mountain grapes, myrtle fruit, jujubes, goat's milk, etc., which dazzled the two of them.
It's a pity that it's too far away from home, otherwise I can bring the little brother and sister to play together.
However, the two picked some to bring back every day, which was enough to surprise Lian Fangqing and Lian Che.
Lian Fangzhou didn't want people to know that his siblings had gone to Xianteng Mountain, so he told Lian Fangqing and Lian Che that those wild fruits could only be eaten at home, and they were not allowed to take them out, let alone tell others.
Since the death of their parents, the life of the four siblings has been bleak, and they have been bullied a lot. The children in the village have something delicious and fun to show off on purpose in front of Lian Fangqing and Lian Che.
Lian Fangqing was once so angry that she cried. Now it's her turn to have something good, but Lian Fangqing finally resisted the urge to show it off and come back.
After going out for so many days, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze were tired, and they had already picked a lot of mushrooms. Lian Fangzhou planned to go to the county town to sell them first, and then see the market.
In this way, there can be a comparison when picking another hand-of course, pick the most valuable ones!
It didn't take long for the weather to cool down. Once there was frost, it would be difficult for mushrooms to grow, and there would be no mushrooms to pick at that time.
The ones picked first have been dried in the sun, and the freshly picked ones will take two or three days to dry. Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze agreed to rest at home for two or three days before going.
The vegetable seeds that had been sprinkled in the vegetable garden had already germinated. Every evening, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze would carry two large buckets of water to water them. Those vegetable seedlings not only grow fast, but also are tender and tender.
In the past two days, I have eaten fresh and green vegetables at home, and I can transplant some in a few days. And the green peppers can also be picked.
Lian Fangzhou thought that he should send some to Aunt Zhang's house, so he specially picked some of the best vegetables and picked two handfuls of peppers.
Although they are all worthless things, they are better than being fresh—at this time, other people have not started to sow rapeseed, and the peppers have long since died.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up when she saw the fresh vegetable seedlings and green peppers, she took it with a smile and thanked her, and couldn't help but said, "This is really rare! Wouldn't the vegetable seedlings grow worms when the vegetable seeds were sown at this time? And this chili, how come there are still fresh ones in this season? How did you do it, Fangzhou?"
Of course, Lian Fangzhou would not keep secrets about such trivial matters, so he smiled and said: "Rapeseeds can be scattered, but when preparing the land, first mix it with plant ash and soil—you need to use ready-made weeds cut from the mountain to burn." Don’t use the ashes from the stove! My sister-in-law may not know that after the pepper bears fruit once, it looks like it’s going to fail, but if you loosen the soil and fertilize it again, it can still bear fruit again! It’s just that the second time the knots are not as many and as big as the first time!”
"So that's how it is! I'll try next year too!" Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile.
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "We have a lot of peppers in our vegetable garden. My sister-in-law likes to eat them. I'll send some more in two days!"
Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw her daughter-in-law like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Fangzhou, you, if you have the heart, just send it once, and give it away when you don't need it! Keep it for yourself! If you can’t finish eating the peppers, keep them red and pick them up and dry them into dried peppers, or make chili sauce! That stuff won’t go bad!”
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Aunt Zhang, you always say that I am cheating, and you are really cheating when you say that! Doesn't your family miss me too? Sister-in-law, my younger son will give it to you." Come on, it doesn't matter!"
Mrs. Zhao was taken aback, and laughed haha. She was a little embarrassed and unhappy when she heard her mother-in-law say that, but at this time, she happily responded "OK!" and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, we just opened a restaurant yesterday. Old pumpkin, just wait, I'll cut a corner for you! Take it back and cook pumpkin rice, or just fry it and add some water to stew it, it's so sweet!"
Lian Fangzhou thanked with a smile, then stood there waiting for her to get it.
When Aunt Zhang heard her say that, she couldn't say more polite words, so she just laughed it off.
Think about it too, if you have anything at home, just give them more!
Mrs. Zhao cut a piece of old pumpkin and handed it to Lian Fangzhou with a smile. Lian Fangzhou accepted it with a smile and said goodbye.
At this moment, Li Juan came in from outside, her eyes lit up when she saw Lian Fangzhou, and she said, "Fangzhou, Fangzhou! Your third aunt and grandma are back, and they are making trouble with your uncle and aunt right now! People are watching the fun there!"
