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

After dinner, it was snowing heavily outside. Li Yunshan put all the rabbit meat he had killed today into baskets, packed the dried meat he would sell tomorrow, and then went inside to sleep.

_

When I woke up in the morning, the snow had not stopped, and there was a thick layer on the ground.

As usual, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui went to the backyard before Mao Xiaosui got up to wash and cook.

After dinner, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui went to the market, while Mao Xiaosui and Ding Pingshun stayed at home to kill rabbits.

Lunch was boiled rabbit again.

Ding Ping'an held a rabbit and ate it alone as if he wasn't tired of it.

Ding Pingshun saw her mouth full of oil and couldn't help but said, "Can't you just tear it apart and eat it?"

Ding Pingan shook his head.

Mao Xiaosui said, "Let her eat it. If there is not enough, cook it. There is nothing else in the house. There is plenty of meat."

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang usually eat a lot and are not greedy, and would even rather eat baked beans.

Mao Xiaosui looked very distressed and got up to get the bones, eggs and mushroom cabbage.

She originally planned to fry a few eggs and boil them in bone soup. Just as she broke the eggs into the pot, Li Ruyi and others came over.

"I want to eat too." Li Ruyi said.

Li Ankang also stared at it eagerly. Mao Xiaosui simply fried five of them and ate one for each person. After eating, he went to get a few more and fried them.

After frying, put the pork bones in and cook.

Before the aroma of the bone soup could come out, Heizi moved his neck.

It is lazy now and does not want to get up even when it hears the movements of acquaintances.

Mao Xiaosui guessed that Li Yunshan and the others had returned, so he got up and opened the door.

He glanced at the basket behind the two of them and asked, "Are they all sold?"

"Sold." Li Yunshan said, "The butcher shop also sold a lot of meat today. It would be a good idea to sell the meat in the butcher shop in the future."

"Come inside and eat," she said.

The room smelled bad because of the rabbit killing and the lack of ventilation. Li Yunshan looked at the meat on the clay stove and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

"Eat." Mao Xiaosui said, "Eat the meat first, the pork bones are cooking in the pot, and drink some to warm your body later."

Li Yunshan washed his hands and sat down to eat. Mao Xiaosui dug up some salty green onions and turned around to find that the two of them had eaten the eggs she used to make soup.

Immediately he sighed.

Li Yunshan raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"That's what I made the soup for."

Li Yunshan suddenly laughed, "Just think I've eaten it."

She didn't mean to blame anything, so she went out to get a piece of charcoal and threw it into the stove to cook slowly.

The two of them ate quickly and did not rest after eating. Zhao Hui took the cage and went to the backyard to catch rabbits.

Li Yunshan tidied up the house, shoveled some soil again and went to the side room.

Washing rabbit skin requires a lot of water, and the family's draft is not allowed. The three children always ran outside in the morning, so Mao Xiaosui simply let them dig out the snow with the family's basins and bowls.

Mao Xiaosui's original intention was to let them work, but he didn't expect to see them come back after running out. When he opened the curtain, he saw that they had all built snowmen.

Not counting on them anymore, Mao Xiaosui took a basin and dug it himself.

Pour the dug snow into a bucket and use the heat from the stove to warm it.

He didn't kill a few in the morning and washed them quickly. Ding Pingshun went to the side room and brought some back.

The soup in the pot had an obvious aroma. She put the mushrooms in and boiled it. After boiling for a while, she added the cabbage and the remaining fried eggs.

She called out to the three children outside, and after a while Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui also walked in.

Mao Xiaosui joked, "In a few days we will have to eat out of a basin."

I haven't had time to make bowls out of the wood I chopped before, and the bowls and basins at home are becoming less and less used.

Li Yunshan: “I’ll buy some pottery bowls next time.”

There is little meat on the bones, but you can still chew some out.

Several children were unwilling to eat, so in the end Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui shared the food.

_

Time flies and it’s time to buy wood and tiles.

The county was far away and there was snow on the road, so the two of them got up earlier than usual.

After sending the two of them out as usual, Li Ruyi shouted, "Dad, you have to come back soon."

Li Yunshan also replied loudly, "I know."

Buying wood and tiles should take more than one day. Last night, Li Yunshan told several children that it might take a few days before they come back.

Li Ruyi told Li Yunshan a lot of things to eat. The family may not have enough money at the moment, so Mao Xiaosui decisively refused on his behalf.

Watching the two of them walk away, Mao Xiaosui said, "Come in, you should be writing, we are busy too."

Li Ruyi held her hand coquettishly and said, "Mom, I don't want to write today."

"No." Mao Xiaosui rejected her with a smile.

Mao Mingzhu was standing next to the wall, listening to the movement and asked, "What are the two doing?"

Ding Pingshun glanced at her, seemingly surprised that Mao Mingzhu wasn't angry.

Although Mao Xiaosui was not willing to pay attention, he still replied, "Go to the county to buy something."

"What are you going to buy in the county?" Mao Mingzhu asked.

"Something to use."

"What? What did you buy? It's so mysterious that you don't want to say anything."

"Buy the things you need." Mao Xiaosui replied angrily, "Auntie, you are still so curious and like to inquire about everything."

Just at this time, Wang Qingshan came out of the hut and glanced at her after hearing this, but said nothing.

Mao Mingzhu said nothing more and turned around and entered the house.

Not long after Li Yunshan left, the village chief came to the house.

Seeing Ding Pingshun and Ding Ping'an in the house, they asked, "Whose child is this?"

Mao Xiaosui didn't reply to him and asked, "Is something wrong, village chief?"

"Yes." The village chief asked, "Where is Yunshan?"

Mao Xiaosuixin asked whether you really didn't know or you were pretending to be confused. I still replied, "I have something to do and I'm going to the county."

"It's not a big deal." The village chief coughed lightly.

Mao Xiaosui saw that he looked unnatural and knew that there must be something difficult.

The only thing the villagers could ask them for was money, borrowed items, and a coolie.

After the village chief coughed again, rubbed his nose with his hand, and glanced at Ding Pingshun and several children, with various body movements and slightly embarrassed expressions, she was already sure that they were here to borrow money.

As for why Mao Xiaosui was chosen when Li Yunshan was away, he didn't know, and he didn't bother to guess. He just said, "He's not here. If you have something to do, wait until he comes back."

"I told you the same thing." The village chief coughed again, "I heard you want to do business?"

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised. They didn't tell anyone about the business. How did the village chief know?

No matter how she knew it, she still couldn't admit it, and asked with a smile, "Who told you? I guess they fooled you." She soon showed a look of surprise, "You're talking about the rabbit skin business, right?"

The village chief was probably stunned by what she said. He didn't know what to ask, so he just asked what he knew. "I heard that you are going to open a shop in the town?"

"We had this plan at the time, but business in the town was not good, so we let it go." Mao Xiaosui looked confused, "Why does Second Grandpa ask this?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "Just ask." Then he said, "You guys can be busy." He didn't leave after saying that. He stared at the rabbit meat in the basin and asked, "What does rabbit meat taste like?"

Mao Xiaosui gave him two, "Second Master, take them back and try them."

The village chief immediately took it and said again, "You guys should be busy." Then he opened the curtain and left.

Mao Xiaosui muttered in his heart that he had to close the door.

After waiting for a while, I guessed that the village chief went to close the courtyard door immediately after going down the slope.

Ding Pingshun asked, "Didn't you tell others about the business you wanted to do?"

"What's there to say? No one is helping, and they are all taking advantage."

"You can't hide it after all."

"We'll talk about the future later." She said, "It's better to be quiet now and wait until this new year is over."

Ding Pingshun nodded, "I will discuss what you said with my father and mother when I get back."

"You should decide whether you want to do it or not. We don't have enough manpower at the moment, so I guess it will be quite hard."

"I'm not afraid of hard work." Ding Pingshun replied with a smile.

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui said, "As long as you think about it carefully."

Ding Pingshun said "hmm" again.
