Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 29 The Third Aunt Suddenly Came Back

Aunt Zhang didn't have anything else to do with her, she just said she was going to the county town tomorrow and asked her if she wanted to go with her?

Of course Lian Fangzhou wants to go, but she has more important things to do, so she can only say "next time"!

"Aunt Zhang, I won't go tomorrow," Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Can you trouble Aunt Zhang to buy something for me back?"

Aunt Zhang didn't ask her why she didn't go, she nodded cheerfully, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with this? Tell me, what do you want to buy, Aunt Zhang, I'll keep the ones bought for you good and cheap!"

Both of them laughed.

In fact, what Lian Fangzhou wants to buy is nothing else, just paste the window paper for the windows, then pull some fabrics to make clothes, and buy a pair of shoes for everyone in the family.

Everything else was fine, but when she heard that she wanted to buy shoes, Aunt Zhang glared at her and said, "You girl, you have to spend your money on the edge of a knife, but you can't be lavish! Where do you need to buy shoes? Make them yourself. Can't you do it? There will be more places to spend money in the future! Don't waste it like this! It just so happens that I also want to make shoes. When the time comes, I will ask the master of the tailor shop for more rags, and I will come back and give you some. Just buy a bag of needles and thread for the soles of your shoes!”

"Aunt Zhang, I..." Lian Fangzhou was speechless for a while.

Aunt Zhang's indifferent words made her very grateful, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart. But she doesn't know how to make shoes!

I have never seen anything about the soles of shoes!

If it weren't for the simple style of the clothes of the poor in ancient times, it would be enough to ask the aunt or sister-in-law who worked well in the village to give some advice. She wouldn't even know how to make clothes.

It's just that the original Lian Fangzhou must know, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alas!" Aunt Zhang sighed softly and said with pity: "It's no wonder you say that, Qing'er is still young, you have to manage the housework and work in the fields alone, and you really don't have much time. The shoes are made! Not to mention, it takes time to add the soles!"

Lian Fangzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Aunt Zhang had misunderstood, she really wanted such a misunderstanding!

So he smiled and was about to speak—

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang continued: "Let's do it! Ajuan and I will help you with the soles of the shoes! You have to glue the uppers of the shoes when you have time - hey, you can't refuse! That's it! "

Aunt Zhang said that Lian Fangzhou really couldn't say anything to refuse, so he nodded in agreement and thanked him with a smile.

After breakfast the next day, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze spread out the mushrooms they picked up yesterday with a dustpan and put them at the door to dry them. They told Lian Fangqing and Lian Che to guard the house and move back to the house if it rained. The sun moved, and the dustpan moved.

The two went to Xandeng Mountain again.

Sun Changxing wanted to buy more time to hunt, so he went early. They didn't need to hunt, and there were many 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 Xandeng Mountain every day, and they picked up four big bags of mushrooms every day. Carry it home like a groundhog.

They have been walking in the mountains a lot, and the two have become familiar with each other a lot. They have become more courageous and have a much wider range of activities.

The luck of the two was good. Later, they found a lot of white fungus, as well as some precious porcini mushrooms and Hericium erinaceus. I also found a huge Shouwu tree by chance. This is a good thing, but it makes Lian Fangzhou happy.

The two of them also caught the green shrimp in the river. The three-fingered big fish can occasionally be seen by the two of them, but this wild fish is very smart. With its streamlined body, it swishes in the water as fast as lightning. Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze are tiptoeing. By the time they got to the front, they had already flashed to other places!

The two had to give up.

But one day at noon, the two caught a tortoise the size of the palm of their hand. The tortoise was lying on the rocks on the shore basking in the sun at the time, and it fell into the hands of the two of them easily, and planned to take it home to play with Lian Fangqing and Lian Che.

There are countless wild fruits in the mountains. In addition to the small jujube forest, there are also many mountain chestnuts, pears, wild persimmons, mountain grapes, myrtle, sour jujubes, goat milk and so on. The two are dazzled.

It's a pity that it's too far from home, otherwise you can bring the little brother and sister to play together.

However, the two of them picked up 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 sister and brother went 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 the father and mother, the life of the four siblings has been bleak, and many people have been bullied. The children in the village have something delicious and fun, and they will deliberately show off proudly in front of Lian Fangqing and Lian Che.

Lian Fangqing was once so popular that she cried. Now that it was his turn to have something good, Lian Fangqing finally resisted the urge to show it off and bring it back.

After going out for so many days in a row, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze are also tired, and they have already picked a lot of mushrooms. Lian Fangzhou plans to go to the county to sell them once and see the market.

In this way, there is a comparison when picking hands again - of course, picking valuable ones!

It didn't take long for the weather to cool down, and once the frost hit, it would be difficult for the mushrooms to grow, and there would be no mushrooms to pick at that time.

The ones that were picked first had already been dried, and the ones just picked would take two or three days to dry, so Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze agreed to rest at home for two or three days before going.

The vegetable seeds that had been sown in the vegetable garden had already sprouted. Every evening, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze would carry two buckets of water to water them. Those vegetable seedlings not only grow fast, but also tender and tender.

In the past two days, we have already eaten fresh and green vegetables at home, and we can transplant some in a few days. And the green peppers can also be picked.

Lian Fangzhou moved in his heart and felt 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 freshness - at this time, other people have not started to sprinkle rapeseeds, and the peppers have already withered.

Seeing the fresh vegetable seedlings and the tender peppers, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up, he thanked him with a smile, and couldn't help but say, "This is really rare! Will the vegetable seedlings that are sprinkled with rapeseeds grow worms at this time? And this chili, why is it still fresh at this time? How did you do it, Fangzhou?"

Of course, even Fangzhou wouldn't hide such trivial matters, so he smiled and said, "Rapeseeds can be scattered, but when preparing the ground, first use grass ash and soil to mix them well - we should use ready-made weeds cut from the mountains. Don't use the ashes from the stove! My sister-in-law may not know, after this pepper bears fruit once, it looks like it's going to fail, but if you loosen the soil and fertilize again, you can still bear it again. It's just that the second knot isn't as much as the first one, it's just as big!"

"So it is! I will try it next year!" Zhao Shi smiled and nodded.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "There are a lot of peppers in our vegetable garden. My sister-in-law likes to eat them. I will send some more in two days!"

Zhao Shi was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

Seeing her daughter-in-law sighing, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fangzhou, you, if you have the heart, just send it once, and then send it where you want! Keep it for yourself! If you can’t finish eating the chili, keep it red, pick it off and use it as dried chili, or make chili sauce! That thing won’t go bad!”

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, you always say that I'm out of touch, but you're really out of touch! Don't you think about me when you have anything to eat? Sister-in-law, I'll give it to you later. Come on, don't worry!"

Zhao Shi was stunned, and laughed haha. She was a little embarrassed to hear her mother-in-law say that, but at this time, she happily answered "Okay!" and laughed: "I almost forgot, we just opened a new one yesterday. Just an old pumpkin, wait, I'll cut a corner for you! Take it back and cook the pumpkin rice, or just fry it like this and add some water to simmer it, it's sweet!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and thanked him, and as expected, he stood there waiting for her to pick it up.

When Aunt Zhang heard her say that, it was not easy to say polite words, so she laughed.

Think about it, what you have at home, just give them more!

Mr. Zhao cut an old pumpkin and handed it to Lian Fangzhou with a smile. Lian Fangzhou took it with a smile and thanked him.

At this moment, Li Juan came in from outside, and Lian Fangzhou's eyes lit up and said, "Fangzhou, Fangzhou! Your third auntie is back, and there's a lot of trouble with your uncle and aunt right now! People are watching the fun there!"
