After cooking all the rice, Tang Jiancheng discovered that the rice vat at home was empty, there was not much oil left, and the condiments were only salt and MSG, but nothing else.
This family is really poor!
In fact, Tang Jiancheng is not lazy. He is quite diligent in farm work. During the slack time, he will follow the villagers to do some temporary work in factories outside the village to earn some extra money. He can earn several hundred yuan throughout the year.
A few hundred dollars at this time is quite valuable!
However, there are many people in the family, even if each person only eats a little bit, together, it is still an astonishing number!
What's more, Tang Jiancheng was often ridiculed by the villagers for having too many daughters. Gradually, his temper became worse and worse. He learned to smoke, drink, and play cards, and he spent money faster.
"We still have to find ways to make money to support our family as soon as possible. Without material foundation, all verbal protection is equal to zero!"
Tang Jiancheng was silently thinking about his next plan to make money.
After cooking the rice, Tang Jiancheng searched around the kitchen and found a few potatoes, half a winter melon, a Chinese cabbage, and several jars of pickles.
As for the meat…
That’s true!
Tang Jiancheng sighed quietly, and began to wash the potatoes, peel them, shred them, soak them in water and set aside. Then he washed the winter melons, peeled them, removed them, cut them into lumps and set them aside, and washed the cabbage...
The eight daughters had been watching Tang Jiancheng in a daze, with a hint of curiosity and surprise in their eyes.
Out of curiosity, dad can cook?
Surprised that dad actually knows how to cook?
But none of the eight daughters stepped forward to help. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they didn't dare.
Seeing that Tang Jiancheng had washed all the dishes at home and left nothing behind, the fifth sister, who had just turned seven, couldn't help but said, "Dad, you have finished cooking all the dishes, what should we eat for dinner?"
Tang Jiancheng's hands that were washing cabbage suddenly stopped, and he turned around and asked: "Are there no vegetables in the field?"
"It's gone a long time ago. Grandma brought these vegetables over," Wu Mei said. "Grandma told us to save some food. Now the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Even if there is some in the fields, we can't dig it back."
"It's okay. Let's eat lunch first. We'll talk about what to eat in the evening."
After Tang Jiancheng finished speaking, he started cooking.
Although there is not much oil and no condiments, Tang Jiancheng has lived alone for more than 40 years in his previous life, and his cooking skills are still good. The fried dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor.
Not only were the eight daughters so greedy that they gulped down the food, but even Liu Fangfang, who was in confinement, was attracted by the aroma.
"smell good!"
Liu Fangfang took a deep breath.
Tang Jiancheng glared and said, "You are a one-month-old mother-in-law. Why are you running around when you have nothing to do? What if you leave the root of the disease?"
Liu Fangfang knew that Tang Jiancheng cared about her, and she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. She said softly: "It's okay if you just take a walk at home, as long as you don't go out to enjoy the wind."
At this time, Xiao Qi, who was over four years old, suddenly rushed to Liu Fangfang and complained: "Mom, dad has finished cooking all the rice and vegetables in our house!"
"Really?" Liu Fangfang lowered her head and asked.
"Um!"
Xiao Qi nodded heavily.
Liu Fangfang was so cute by her serious look that she couldn't help but smile and rubbed her hair. Then she looked up at Tang Jiancheng and said, "Are you planning to let it go?"
Tang Jiancheng looked straight at her.
Speaking of which, Liu Fangfang still has a pretty appearance and a good figure. Even after giving birth to nine children, her figure is still not out of shape. Perhaps because she just gave birth to a child, her chest is particularly bulging, which makes her figure even more attractive.
He hadn't seen his wife for more than 40 years. Just now, Tang Jiancheng saw Liu Fangfang smiling and narrowing her eyes, and suddenly felt extremely amazing, just like the warm sun in winter, warm and beautiful.
"Dead man, why are you looking at me like that!" Liu Fangfang blushed at the sight.
Tang Jiancheng came back to his senses and smiled. In front of the children, he still did not say the words "because you are so beautiful", but replaced them with another sentence, "wash your hands and eat!"
With Liu Fangfang around, the children became a lot more courageous. The younger children began to show their children's nature, quarreling, snatching, and crying, and the kitchen suddenly became lively.
The older children were still a little scared when they saw Tang Jiancheng. Even with Liu Fangfang around, they didn't dare to act rashly for fear of offending Tang Jiancheng and causing a beating.
Tang Jiancheng is not in a hurry to repair the relationship with his children. Anyway, there is a long way to go.
As long as you are sincerely good to them, the children will definitely feel it.
After dinner, the eldest daughter was very discerning and directly took on the task of washing dishes and pots. Tang Jiancheng couldn't help but praise, "My eldest daughter is still sensible!"
When the eldest daughter heard this, she was so frightened that she almost broke a bowl.
Tang Jiancheng had said this to her before. She thought it was a compliment at first, but she didn't expect it to be ironic. When she was feeling proud, she was severely beaten by Tang Jiancheng.
Tang Jiancheng saw his eldest daughter's fear and couldn't help but sigh.
In the last life, it was this sensible daughter who was frightened into psychosis by him. In this life, he must not repeat the same mistake!
"There is no rice or vegetables at home. I will go out and think of a solution."
After saying that, Tang Jiancheng went out.
Liu Fangfang had long been frightened by Tang Jiancheng's series of abnormal behaviors. If it had been left alone, Tang Jiancheng would not have cared about the family even if it had been dormant for several days. But today he is so concerned about it, which is obviously for some purpose.
Liu Fangfang also knew what he had in mind, and couldn't help but turn her head and look at her daughters.
Who to sell to?
At first glance, they all look sallow and thin, but they all inherited their own genes, and none of them are ugly.
If you can keep up with nutrition and dress up a little, you will definitely look dewy and eye-catching.
I heard people in the village say that the families who want to buy children are from families that cannot have children. They all like younger children, because such children do not have their own ideas and do not have many memories of their original family, so they are much easier to raise. .
Liu Fangfang took a look and found that she had four children who all fit the bill, but the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh, so it was really hard for her to choose.
"Forget it, let the dead man choose! He can sell to whomever he wants!"
Liu Fangfang didn't care.
Just at this time, Xiaojiu's cry came from the room. She was going to breastfeed the baby.
She was really reluctant to sell her children, but she also knew very well that her family was too poor and had many children, all of whom were girls. She was often beaten and scolded by Tang Jiancheng and ridiculed by others, and her life was very difficult. .
It's better to sell it to rich people, maybe you can live a better life!
Tang Jiancheng didn't know that Liu Fangfang was still thinking about selling the child. When he walked out of the house, he saw the white snow outside, and it was almost ankle-deep when he stepped on it.
Where should we go to get food in this weather?
Tang Jiancheng turned his head quickly. Suddenly, he remembered a past incident, and then he raised his legs and walked towards his parents' house opposite.
