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

Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun came back one after the other.

It looked like it was more difficult than a trip to Su County. There happened to be ready-made dumplings at home. She boiled some water in a pot and boiled some. After they ate them, she asked, "Are they done?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "We'll pull them over in a few days. We'll have to watch them when the beams are being raised to prevent them from stealing tiles."

"Is there enough money?" This is what Mao Xiaosui is most concerned about.

"Barely." Li Yunshan said, "If there is nothing else to spend money on, then it will be enough."

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved, grabbed Li Ruyi's braid, and said funnyly, "Are you hungry just after eating?"

Li Yunshan came to her senses when she asked this question and asked her, "What kind of rice is this?"

"Dumplings, for New Year's Eve."

Li Yunshan frowned, "Never heard of it."

"Because I haven't done it before." She asked, "Do you know there is vinegar for sale?"

"Yes." Li Yunshan said, "Do you want it?"

"Yes?" She widened her eyes, "Why haven't I heard you say it?"

"Expensive." Li Yunshan frowned and thought for a moment, "Maybe it's the same price as sesame oil, I'm not sure."

"What about peppers?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "You've heard of it."

She was a little disappointed. There were only a few seasonings here, and it felt tasteless after eating it for a long time.

Zhao Hui asked curiously, "What is the pepper you are talking about?"

"The food," she said, "it tastes spicy."

"I've never heard of it." Li Yunshan still said, "There is it in Vinegar County. If you want me to bring it back next time."

She nodded in agreement and asked Ding Pingshun, "Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious." Ding Pingshun nodded.

"Mom knows how to fry it." Li Ankang said, "It's delicious."

Mao Xiaosui touched Li Ankang's head, "It's not because your sister's buns are broken. You can't eat it without frying it."

Li Ruyi's mouth was full, and Li Yunshan ate five or six while she ate one.

The plate of dumplings disappeared quickly. Li Yunshan was not full and asked, "Are there any more?"

"Yes." She asked Zhao Hui and Ding Pingshun again, "How far behind are you two?"

Ding Pingshun shook his head, "That's enough for me."

Zhao Hui said, "It's okay if I don't want it anymore. I feel full."

After staying at home for a long time, Zhao Hui was not as restless about eating as before.

She went to get some more. Li Yunshan saw it and said quickly, "I can't eat that much."

"That's enough for Zhao Hui to have some too."

"Then I don't want it anymore." Zhao Hui also said hurriedly, "I'm almost full too."

When Mao Xiaosui heard this, he only ordered fifteen, giving five to Zhao Hui. As soon as he took out Li Ruyi's spoon, he took one away.

Mao Xiaosui was surprised when he saw it, "You can still eat it."

Li Ruyi burped, chewed in her mouth, and said vaguely, "I can't eat any more."

Li Yunshan ate all the remaining ones, and then said, "I'm going to take a nap."

Mao Xiaosui said to Zhao Hui, "I took your quilt to the side room."

Zhao Hui responded and left.

Every time Li Yunshan went out for several days, the two children were extremely clingy to him. When Mao Xiaosui went in after washing the pot, he saw the two children holding him on the left and right.

She stood here and looked at it, then she stopped sleeping and took out the half-sewn sole.

Li Yunshan slept for a long time, and she was about to feed the chickens and rabbits before she woke up.

Li Ankang ran into the inner room after hearing the noise, and soon Li Yunshan came out with him in his arms.

Li Yunshan put him on the ground and went out to the latrine. When he came back, he smiled and asked, "What's going on with the snowman at the door?"

Li Ruyi immediately said, "My mother made it. Isn't it beautiful?"

"It looks good." Li Yunshan nodded.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Let's make some rice." Li Yunshan said, "I've been out eating noodles or steamed buns these days. I want to eat."

Even though I didn't skip a meal, I always felt hungry because I hadn't eaten.

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui responded with a smile, "I'll cook two more dishes."

"Eat the intestines." Li Ruyi pulled her hand anxiously, "Mom, let's eat the intestines."

Li Yunshan laughed and asked her, "Did the pork belly last time taste good?"

"It's delicious." Li Ruyi replied loudly, "Mom said that the intestines will wait for you to come back and won't make them for us."

"If they want to eat, just cook it for them." Li Yunshan said, "You don't have to wait for us."

"That's not okay." Mao Xiaosui didn't agree. "You can't instill your kind of thinking into children. Things that are not often eaten at home should be eaten together."

"Yes, yes..." Li Yunshan nodded repeatedly, "I will listen to you from now on."

"No." Mao Xiaosui snorted and went to dig rice for cooking.

Take a handful of dried beans, cut them and soak them in boiling water, wash a basin of mushrooms, and take a few eggs.

Beat the eggs in a basin and put the steamed custard on the pot. After the custard is steamed, fry the mushrooms.

The last step is to stew the rice. Put the dry beans that have not been soaked into the pot and fry them. Add a little more water than usual and then put the washed millet on top.

When the meal was ready, they also cleaned up the backyard, and Mao Xiaosui greeted them to eat.

Halfway through the meal, he remembered something and asked Zhao Hui, "Have you turned on the stove?"

"Nothing, not cold." Zhao Hui said, "The side room is small, and the kang is lit and it's not cold at all." He then asked Ding Pingshun, "Are you cold?"

Ding Pingshun shook his head, "It's not cold. I don't light the stove most of the time at home."

"Let's light it up and smoke it, it's cold at night." Li Yunshan also said.

Zhao Hui agreed.

Mao Xiaosui said to the two of them, "Please take the time to build a stove for the side room."

Li Yunshan: "Wait until these busy days are over."

_

I slept until dawn and started working as usual after dinner in the morning.

Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui went to the backyard to catch rabbits, while Mao Xiaosui took a few children to dig snow on the field.

When I filled the buckets and basins and walked back, I saw Qi Bin coming up from the slope.

Mao Xiaosui waited for him for a while.

Qi Bin came closer and asked, "I saw Yunshan coming back this morning, and I just wanted to ask you if you want more firewood."

"I want it." Mao Xiaosui said, "You guys can pull me up."

Qi Bin happily agreed and left.

She put the snow in a pot to melt, and took the money in advance to wait.

It didn't take long for the firewood to be pulled up, and it was packed high like last time.

After pulling four carts in a row, Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "No, that's all."

Mao Xiaosui took out the money bag, counted four hundred copper coins and handed it over.

Zhang Zhi accepted it with a smile and asked her, "Have Lian Xin and the others pulled her up again?"

Mao Xiaosui shook his head.

Zhang Zhi added, "How about you ask them? If they don't prepare, we will do the rest."

"Okay." She responded and sent a few people out.

After the others walked away, he called Li Lianxin from the wall.

Li Lianxin quickly ran out of the room and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Do you still have firewood? Aunt Zhang Zhi said that if you don't prepare, they will get the rest."

"Yes." Li Lianxin said hurriedly, "Yunshan is back?"

"I'm back." Mao Xiaosui told her, "Then you guys can come up here and you can stop by Qi's house to say something."

"Sure." Li Lianxin agreed.

By the time Li Lianxin's firewood arrived, there was no room to put it at the door, and they finally put it on the steps of the main room.

After paying the money, Mao Xiaosui said, "I have enough firewood. I will come back to you next year."

Li Lianxin responded with a smile and said, "Then I'll go down to Qi's house and say something."

Mao Xiaosui nodded.
