Aunt Chunhua turned around and returned home. When she saw Lan Xiang in the house, she handed the steamed bun to her.
Lan Xiang raised her head and looked at her mother, "Sister-in-law Aying came back at this hour again? She is also very brave, a woman, selling things in the streets, but I have to say that the steamed buns made by sister-in-law Aying are delicious. "
"You are a greedy person." Aunt Chunhua cursed with a smile.
I said to my husband who was sitting in the yard weaving baskets:
"Master, I see that the weather is getting worse and worse. It's really not easy for Mrs. Ying, a woman with an elder and a younger one in tow. Our family grows a lot of radishes. I want to send her a small cart. You Do you think it’s feasible?”
Wang Youfu raised his head and glanced at his wife.
"That's not possible, just go and give it."
Aunt Chunhua was a neat person, so she said yes, and the next morning she pushed a small cart of radishes in a wheelbarrow and delivered them to Xie Ying.
The radish was planted in advance. After Xie Ying married into the Fu family, she missed the radish planting season.
When Fu Changming was at home, the house was run by an old woman. After Fu Changming got married, the lazy old woman was kicked out by Fu Changming.
The old lady only took care of Fu Changming's medicine and cooked meals for the family. She didn't care about the rest.
He didn't even wash Mrs. Fu, let alone let her grow vegetables for the Fu family.
When Fu Changming was still alive, the family's ten acres of land were rented to uncles in the clan.
But after Fu Changming's death, those who rented their farm property came to Xie Ying one after another and told her they would no longer farm. The rent was not in arrears, and food was not given.
They just wanted to embarrass Xie Ying, the young lady who had just become the head of the family. They wanted to put her in trouble and make her seek help from her uncles.
Xie Ying knew she couldn't fight them, so she just ignored them.
It took her half a month to plant the fields that others had planted in a few days. Others' wheat had grown so tall, but hers had just been planted.
She thought that Fu Changhe would always come back one day.
She couldn't fight them, but Fu Changhe could.
Looking at the carrots in a wheelbarrow, Xie Ying thanked her and said she would go back to the house to get the money.
Aunt Chunhua hurriedly stopped her: "Our family can't finish the radishes grown on a small piece of land that we have opened up for you to eat. It would be too polite of you to give us money."
Xie Ying looked at the watery white radish.
Then he said: "Then next year, I will return a load of radishes to my aunt."
Aunt Chunhua doesn't care about this. After all, she also has selfish motives. She has fallen in love with Xie Ying and wants Xie Ying to be her daughter-in-law. Who knows that Fu Changming married a beautiful girl and didn't even touch her? It was a death.
Although Xie Ying is said to have her hair tied up in a woman's bun, she is indeed a young lady.
Marrying her son would be a step beyond her reach.
Look at this lady Ying, she is pretty, has strong housekeeping skills, is filial to her elders, and is friendly to her brothers and sisters. What a good candidate for daughter-in-law.
Aunt Chunhua gave the carrots, but she did so with a purpose and willingly.
Xie Ying didn't know what she was thinking. She thought that if she ate the carrots from Chunhua's family this year, she would definitely have to return the car next year.
With these radishes, their family's food will be available this winter.
She doesn't have much salt at home, but she still has enough soy sauce. She plans to use soy sauce to make pickled radish.
Today she is still busy steaming steamed buns to sell outside. Now she can work day by day, but she is afraid that if it snows in a while, she will not be able to sell steamed buns outside.
Selling steamed buns doesn't happen every day. She also has to take care of her grandmother and Brother Run.
After seeing Aunt Chunhua off, Xie Ying was busy steaming the buns in the pot.
When the fire started, she got up and went back to the house.
Seeing that Brother Run had woken up and was sitting on the bed, his winter clothes were thicker and he couldn't wear them at all, and he was talking to his grandmother with his little mouth.
"Grandma, I am a child and don't know how to wear clothes. You can't do it either."
"Grandma, you are older than me, so you have to dress me."
Mrs. Fu really took the pants and put them on Brother Run.
But he didn't know that Brother Run's legs were put into one trouser leg, making Brother Run unable to move.
He screamed, "I'm wearing the wrong thing, I'm wearing the wrong thing."
Xie Ying walked forward quickly.
He neatly pulled his pants over and dressed Brother Run.
"Sister-in-law is wearing the right clothes."
Brother Run stood up holding Xie Ying's shoulders, put on his pants and shoes, and put on warm cotton clothes.
"Sister-in-law, you smell so good. I wish you were my mother-in-law."
Xie Ying smiled and hit him on the head.
"I am your sister-in-law, and your elder sister-in-law is like your mother. You are right to think so."
Brother Run was overjoyed.
After dressing the younger one, Xie Ying dressed the older one and combed her hair.
"Grandma, you are the elder, and Brother Run is a little kid. You have to learn to help him. I still have to go out today. Grandma must remember your promise to me, to watch over Brother Run and not allow him to run out."
Mrs. Fu is not in good spirits, but she won't go out.
Brother Run was smart, but he was an active little monkey who wanted to run out and play all day long. Xie Ying could only tell her grandmother to keep an eye on Brother Run.
Mrs. Fu agreed: "I listen to my grandson's daughter-in-law. I will listen to whatever you say."
Xie Ying turned to look at Brother Run again.
"Sister-in-law is not at home, so you have to listen to grandma. No outsiders are allowed in. If anyone comes looking, just say that sister-in-law is not here, and no one will be seen."
"But did you hear what my sister-in-law said?"
Brother Run likes to go out and play the most, but after hearing his sister-in-law's words, he wholeheartedly agreed.
He agreed, but he turned around and waited for Xie Ying to leave, still thinking about going out to play.
After cleaning up her grandmother and Brother Run, Xie Ying hurriedly went to the kitchen, added a fire to the stove, and got some hot water from the small stove to wash their faces, hands, and mouths.
Before that, Mrs. Fu and Brother Run didn't know how to wash their faces and mouth. They just grabbed and ate when they saw something to eat.
While they were washing, Xie Ying turned up the fire on the stove, and the fire burned fiercely. She neatly cut half a radish, put in two chili peppers, and a plate of shredded radish was ready.
He took the steamed buns and millet porridge and put them on the table.
Xie Ying began to take out the steamed buns and put them into the pole.
"Be good at home. My sister-in-law will be back after selling the steamed buns."
Xie Ying picked up the pole, opened the door and walked out. After leaving the village, we headed straight towards the town.
She listened to the creaking of the poles along the way. On a very cold day, she walked all the way, her body was warm and there was sweat on her forehead, but it was not too cold.
Fortunately, the steamed buns sold out very quickly today.
When she got to the town, she carried a pole and hawked around the town. After a while, the steamed buns were sold out.
Thinking that she still had a bunch of radishes at home, she wanted to make dried radishes as soon as possible, so she bought two cans of soy sauce and headed home.
Just after leaving the town and walking towards the village, I suddenly met a young man on horseback asking for directions.
"May I ask, madam, where to go from Changqing Village?"
