Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The rest of the millet was prepared in two days. The previous ones were put directly into the grain house. The rest of the grains were dried by the two of them for two days while the sun was shining brightly at noon.

After dinner in the evening, Mao Mingzhu came to the house. Her face was still swollen, but she felt much better.

She took out thirty copper coins from her arms and handed them over, saying, "It's all thanks to your medicine."

"Don't you have a fever? The aunts in the village don't see anyone much these days. Are they all sick?"

"It's not good anyway. After all, men are in good health. A bowl of medicine will make most of their symptoms better. How can they be like us and kill you?"

"That's true. The ones who are seriously ill are all mothers-in-law. I suspect that they blew it when they went to the market that day."

"Have you been sick for only two or three days?" Mao Mingzhu asked.

She nodded. Strictly speaking, it was only one day. It probably had something to do with her good health.

Mao Mingzhu sighed again after hearing this, "This time the money has been spent again. There is really no peace of mind at home this year. I am well and my son is sick again."

"Sick again?"

"Who says it's not the case? These days, I'm afraid of bringing my illness to him. I don't even dare to look at him. Who would have thought that he's still sick?"

"Is there any medicine?"

"Yes, I was afraid that something would happen to him again, so I brought him some medicine." Mao Mingzhu laughed again as she said, "Your cousin-in-law has it."

"Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes." She nodded and smiled, "It would be great if I could have a son this time. It would be considered a son and a daughter."

Mao Xiaosui followed and smiled.

After sitting for a while, the two of them sent her out. After blocking the courtyard door and entering the house, she said, "Wang Shi gets sick every now and then, and the medicine is so expensive. I'm afraid my eldest cousin and the others will have objections, right?"

"It's normal to be unhappy. After all, medicine is expensive and no one can afford it." Li Yunshan didn't think it was anything. He threw a piece of firewood into the clay stove and went to bed.

There were not many women going to the market in the morning. Li Yunshan was carrying a basket of soap nuts, and Mao Xiaosui was carrying thirty eggs and a few pieces of soap paste.

The eggs are reserved for the Ding family, and today they mainly sell soap nuts.

When they arrived at the market, they had just found a seat when two people stood in front of them without even putting down their things.

She looked up and saw a young woman and a fair-looking man.

They look like a couple.

Mao Xiaosui recognized the woman as the one he had seen in the town before. At that time, Li Yunshan said that she was the owner of the fabric store and their previous customer, so she smiled and asked, "What do you two want to buy?"

The woman pointed at the soap nuts, "Should I buy your soap nuts at the same price as before?"

She was selling them randomly and didn't know what price they were talking about, so she asked, "How much do you want?"

"One penny."

Mao Xiaosui was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I'll count you eight coppers."

She vaguely remembered selling like this last year. Seeing the woman nodding in agreement, she asked again, "Have you brought anything, little lady? I'll pack it for you."

The woman shook her head, "I came here to do something, I didn't expect you to be here."

Li Yunshan stood up immediately and said, "I'll go to Ding's house to get one."

Mao Xiaosui had to ask them to wait for a while, and then heard a woman coming this way shouting at her voice from a few steps away.

She hurriedly replied, and then the woman asked, "Did Xiao Sui bring any eggs?"

Mao Xiaosui recognized her as a regular customer who bought eggs and replied with a smile, "We don't sell eggs today."

"Sold out?"

"The chickens at home don't lay many eggs. I brought a few today. I want to take them to my sister-in-law. She is about to give birth and give her some extra eggs."

The woman felt a little pity after hearing this and asked, "Will you still sell the next episode?"

"uncertain."

The woman came over anyway, saw that the soap nuts she was selling were quite big, and asked, "How do you sell them?"

"Five coppers each, how much do you want?"

"Let's get five coppers."

Mao Xiaosui gave her twenty-five and told her, "When you use it, remove the core. Boil the skin of the soap nut until it becomes soft and it can still be used. Don't waste it."

"Remember to remove the core before cooking."

The woman responded repeatedly.

The two people in front of the stall asked her, "Do you want to cook it?"

"Boil it and wash it clean. Don't throw away the ones you rub your hands on. Cut it and boil it and there will still be a lot of foam. You can keep it for washing clothes."

Li Yunshan came back while they were talking. Mao Xiaosui counted eight hundred and finally gave them a handful.

The woman gave her some money and said before leaving, "Your soap is quite beautiful."

Mao Xiaosui didn't ask them if they wanted to buy it, he just smiled.

Li Yunshan lowered his head and pretended to be rich, and then said, "Sister-in-law has given birth."

"A boy or a girl?"

"I didn't have time to ask, it will be over in a while."

A big business came in early in the morning, and the two of them sold some of the remaining soap fruits sporadically, and only went to Ding's house when there was half a basket left.

The door of the butcher shop was closed, and when we arrived at Ding's house, we heard the cry of a child.

Mao Xiaosui called out "Sister-in-law."

Ding Pingan and Ding Pingshun both ran out.

Ding Azhuang lifted the curtain, leaned against the door and said with a smile, "Did you bring the fish?"

"There's no fish, I just finished working on the grains and haven't even bothered with the grains yet."

Ding Ping'an hugged Mao Xiaosui and said with a smile, "Mom has given birth to a younger brother."

Inside the house, Mrs. Ding called them to come in.

Li Yunshan gave the basket to Ding Pingshun and asked him to put the soap nuts away, because the two of them washed their hands first after touching the soap nuts.

The child's face was red and wrinkled, and he was lying on the bed crying.

Auntie Ding changed his diaper and even had her hands wet, so she patted his butt in annoyance.

Mao Xiaosui watched from the side. The child was cute, but he couldn't stop the smell of poop.

Auntie Ding smiled and said, "You go and sit down first, don't stay here, it stinks very much."

Mao Xiaosui couldn't wait to sit over and asked her, "When was the baby born?"

"The day before yesterday, my name was Ding Pingsui."

Peace and success.

Thinking of the meaning behind it, she smiled and said, "What a good name."

Ding Azhuang asked her to sit down, and when he left, he asked Li Yunshan to leave.

After Aunt Ding finished changing the diaper, Ding Pingshun took it out to wash. Ding Ping'an followed her out, shouting "Brother, brother...".

Auntie Ding put down the curtain on the bed and said, "I'll feed him some milk."

After feeding Ding Pingsui and putting her to sleep, Mrs. Ding got out of bed.

Mao Xiaosui helped her sit down.

Auntie Ding looked at the eggs in the basket and asked, "Aren't they sold out today?"

"I didn't sell it. I brought you something to eat."

"As long as people come, I have eggs at home. I've saved them for these days. You can eat them yourself."

"How can it be the same? Do you still have the honey you brought last time?"

"Yes." Mrs. Ding replied with a smile, "There is still half a jar."

Ding Pingshun came in after washing the diaper and put it on the stool next to the clay stove to bake, then went out again.

After a while, Mao Xiaosui smelled the smell of cooking meat, and thought it was time to leave. He asked Ding Pingan, "Where is your uncle?"

"I went to kill pigs with my dad."

Mrs. Ding understood and explained, "Two people ordered a pig before you came and said they would come and pick it up tomorrow morning."

"Quickly, just take out the internal organs. They want the whole thing."

"Selling by the whole head?"

"They picked it themselves and marked it. They didn't chop it because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to explain it later."

After sitting for a while longer, the two of them came back carrying a whole pig, followed by the old couple.

Maybe it was because he had been eating grass that the pig was very fat, and Li Yunshan's clean clothes were also messed up.

She brought a basin to pour water for the two of them, and Ding Azhuang brought a set of his own clothes for Li Yunshan to change into.

Ding Pingshun cooked the meat, fried some cabbage, and steamed the rice.

After eating and drinking, the two of them went home.
