Six-year-old Chen Yi stood at the door and was the first to see them. He immediately stood up and shouted in a soft voice: "Mom, Sister Si Ya and Aunt Zhao are here."
"I'll call you Sister Yaoyao from now on!"
Sister Zhao specifically told her about Si Ya's proposal to change her name. She also said that she had been in despair before and had changed the names of several children randomly. She knew the disadvantages and that people should still be full of hope in life, etc...
Aunt Zhang was very pleased to hear that. It was a good thing that Sister Zhao could get back on her feet.
Aunt Zhang stopped and was shocked when she saw the barrels and basins they were dragging: "Ouch! There are so many!"
Zhao Cuihua was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it convenient to take her to the town, or..."
"What are you talking about!" Aunt Zhang kindly took her arm into the house, and did not forget to wave to Yan Qingyao behind her, asking her to follow her in: "I just thought... Qingyao kid is so capable alone, if you If you work together, I'm afraid you can make a lot of money!"
These words made Zhao Cuihua couldn't help but think seriously.
Aunt Zhang's family is all friendly to others, even the father-in-law and mother-in-law are honest and honest. Even though the family is not rich, they are afraid that they will be neglected when they come as guests, so they greet them for a while before letting them go back.
In the evening, Zhao Cuihua came back with a lot of copper coins. As she walked on the road, she held the copper plate tightly with both hands and looked nervously from left to right, for fear of being discovered. She didn't know how many years she had touched so many coins. Copper plate.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhao Cuihua immediately closed the door and said in a low voice and happily: "Qingyao, this time we sold shrimps and crabs for nearly a hundred yuan, fish and squid, and although there are not many octopuses, they are expensive. Our family The seafood sold for a total of one hundred and eighty yuan!"
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with light!
In Yan Qingyao's eyes, these one hundred and eighty articles were just a drop in the bucket of her future plans. However, after two days of understanding this era, she felt the value and hard-earnedness of these one hundred and eighty articles. She was also pleasantly surprised: "real?"
"But..." Zhao Cuihua covered the copper plate in her hand: "After all, it was Aunt Zhang's family who helped this time, so my mother took it upon herself to give them fifty cents, and this is the remaining one hundred and thirty cents. "
"Yes, Aunt Zhang's family has helped us so much, so it is appropriate to share some with them."
One hundred and eighty cents were divided into fifty cents. Aunt Zhang’s family was very polite, and my mother was not stingy either!
Zhao Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She took out the copper plate in her hand and placed it gently on the table: "One hundred and thirty coins, Qingyao, you take sixty coins and mother takes seventy coins. Mom will go there later." How about spending thirty cents on a pound of rice to celebrate?"
"No need." Yan Qingyao reached out and held her mother's hand.
Zhao Cuihua paused: "Today's shrimps and crabs are indeed your credit, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Qingyao couldn't help but interrupted with laughter: "Mom, I have sixty cents. I'll just buy rice tomorrow."
Why is her words and deeds inconsistent? She told her that women here cannot get on the stage and cannot lack the help of men.
At the same time, he distributed it fairly to her, but he was also worried that as a mother, he would make her unhappy by taking more money.
Zhao Cuihua moved her lips: "This is not possible..."
"Mom, I don't need to do anything at home, and I can't spend this money. But I save my money and buy things needed for my family."
Zhao Cuihua thought, yes, if she saves a tael of silver sooner, she can rent land sooner.
With this thought, she stopped arguing with her daughter: "If you need money to buy any delicious snacks, mom will buy them for you."
"Okay." The corners of Yan Qingyao's mouth rose, and she couldn't help but feel a different emotion towards the girl in front of her...
"When Mom finishes her work at the village chief's house in two days, she can make a few more bamboo baskets to help you catch fish together. Do you still have the fishing nets you picked up?"
Yan Qingyao's smile froze.
"It's probably gone. I just want to go shopping tomorrow to see if I can buy any."
"The fishing nets you picked up are much more exquisite than those sold in our village, or even in the town. I'm afraid I can't buy such good ones. Qingyao, you..."
"Mom!" Sensing that she was about to continue asking questions along the topic, Yan Qingyao was startled. She immediately took out the fish and bamboo shoots she cooked in the evening and put them on the table. She pointed at the fish on the table: "Look, what I cooked today fish."
"Eh!" Zhao Cuihua's eyes subconsciously followed her fingers. She lowered her head and saw the two pomfrets. She smelled the freshness as soon as she came in. She thought someone else's food was so good, but she didn't expect it to be her own.
"Why would you eat such a good fish?" Zhao Cuihua was both generous and a little stingy. She couldn't help but feel pity in her voice. If she had sold it, she could have earned more than ten cents!
"Aunt Zhang gave this to me today."
"Ah? I don't know about this yet. Is the fifty cents short?"
Before I could figure out one thing, I started to worry about two things again.
"It's okay." Zhao Cuihua figured it out again: "We will help each other anyway, and there will be plenty of time to repay!"
After thinking about it, Zhao Cuihua took a sip of the rice cereal handed over by her daughter, and picked up a piece of fish. The texture was just like it appeared in the bowl, silky and very tender in the mouth.
"Qingyao's cooking has improved a lot recently!" Zhao Cuihua praised sincerely. Although her family was still poor, the food she had eaten in the past two days was so delicious that she looked satisfied.
Even a landlord's house may not have such delicious food in his mouth.
"I'm going to open a restaurant in the future. It will definitely be very popular." Yan Qingyao said confidently, already having a preliminary plan on how to implement it.
Zhao Cuihua smiled and responded casually: "Okay, your restaurant is very popular."
After saying that, she didn't take it to heart at all. If her family had this delicious dish every day and endless rice, she would be grateful.
Compared with brown rice that costs 30 cents per catty outside, the rice in the system only costs two yuan per catty, and you can buy ten catties for 20 cents. There are many brands to choose from, and all of them are white and fat.
Yan Qingyao looked at the picture and her mouth watered with greed. Who knows how she, a person in the 21st century, would feel when she saw cheap and affordable rice one day?
She looked at the rice vat at home and saw that there were only two kilograms of brown rice left.
The ten kilograms of polished rice she put in were particularly conspicuous. Yan Qingyao thought about it and poured only two kilograms of polished rice in. After a little mixing, nothing should be visible.
Fortunately, she had been the one cooking the past few days, so Zhao Cuihua never became suspicious, but occasionally sighed, maybe it was because there were so many delicious dishes these days, and even the rice felt tastier.
The seafood picked up at home was piled up in a mountain. Except for some seafood that they had eaten in the village every day, they sold it, and some seafood that the villagers didn’t know were edible. The girls kept a tacit understanding and kept silent, just piling it up at home. Slowly accumulating more and more.
