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

There would be a lot of dirt in the earthen house every day. After sitting for a while, the two of them started to clean the house. They wiped the table, shook the bedding, and swept the floor. After cleaning up, Li Ruyi woke up and called the old lady at the top of his lungs.

Mao Xiaosui replied to her, and soon Li Ruyi ran over, threw herself into her arms as soon as she entered the door, and shouted "Miss you mother."

Mao Xiaosui touched her head. The biggest advantage of the two children in the family was their sweet mouths, which always made her feel warm in her heart.

Before she could feel sorry for herself, Li Ruyi asked, "Did Mom buy something delicious?"

The old lady laughed in the room after hearing the movement, "You greedy person."

Mao Xiaosui also said "Oh" and felt helpless.

There were piles of things in the house that had not yet been confiscated. Mao Xiaosui gave Li Ruyi a bag of melon seeds and preserved fruits, but kept the others untouched. He also gave her the hairband that Li Yunshan bought to tie up snacks.

It was a little wrinkled, and Li Ruyi was confused when she got it, "Why is it so ugly?"

Mao Xiaosui lied, "Mom didn't pay attention and it got wrinkled. I'll just wash it for you and it'll be fine."

Li Ruyi agreed, put the hair tie on the table and sat down to eat melon seeds and preserved fruits.

Mao Xiaosui took out the shoes he bought for the old lady.

The old lady kept refusing and said, "I still have shoes..."

"I bought it for you, but no one is wearing it."

The old lady took it carefully and touched it carefully. She couldn't close her mouth happily and kept saying, "You don't need to buy it for me, buy it for the two kids..."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and put away her new clothes and Li Yunshan's new shoes. They were all packed up before they came back. She planned to cook some rice and asked the old lady, "Grandma, would you like some?"

The old lady waved her hand, "You guys eat."

Mao Xiaosui only stewed her, Li Yunshan and Qin An.

After sitting for a while, the old lady went back. When the meal was ready, Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun came back, but the expression on Li Yunshan's face was a little solemn.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Li Yunshan said, "Second uncle sent grain and vegetables to the farm, and they will deliver them tomorrow. And...he said grandma is sick and is about to die."

"Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "She has never been worried about me. When I go back, I will be questioned by the villagers, so I won't cause trouble for the family."

Mao Xiaosui nodded. In fact, she supported whether Li Yunshan went or not. Of course, it was best not to go.

Qin An walked in without them calling him, finished his meal and went back to sleep.

Li Ruyi taught Ding Pingshun how to write, and Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan also went to sleep. They slept for a long time, and when they woke up, Li Ankang was back.

After eating enough in the afternoon, she and Li Yunshan cooked some porridge and stir-fried two vegetables.

After eating, Li Ankang went to endorse, while the others sat and talked in the main room.

Mao Xiaosui asked Ding Pingshun, "How did the two perform?"

Ding Ping replied: "Yuan Xiong is very serious about his work, and Fu Heng is also very good, but he doesn't get along well with others."

"How's the work going?"

Ding Pingshun nodded.

"Didn't the others do anything to him?"

Ding Pingshun shook his head, "I just don't talk to him that much."

Mao Xiaosui nodded. He didn't have a good impression of this kind of unsociable person. She wouldn't care if he was squeezed out.

"You just stay in the shop these days and learn calligraphy. Next year you and Qin An will try to run a business and be smarter."

Ding Pingshun nodded.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, there is a lot of work to do. Mao Xiaosui has to pack the meat and the New Year’s food.

Because the trees and leaves had been stocked up, the job of killing rabbits was put back on the schedule at the urging of several women.

Huang Shui was responsible for the acceptance work, and Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui were responsible for the rest. As for the reconciliation, Fu Heng was left to Fu Heng. Even Qin An was not free. He had to teach Ding Pingshun almost everything in the past two months. Understand some words needed for daily reconciliation and documentation.

There are many things to be busy with during the New Year this year. After Li Yunshan separated a whole pig, the rest of the work became Mao Xiaosui's.

She first cut out the fat meat and fried it and put it in a vat. She reserved part of the lean meat to make dumplings, steamed buns and croquettes, and fried the rest as well.

The old lady had bad eyesight, so Mao Xiaosui asked her to fry the meat while he used the light to clean up the pig's head.

The hair on the pig's head was not cleaned very well. The big one was pulled out, and the small one was directly burned with fire.

It took two days just to prepare the steamed buns and steamed buns. They made them together with the old lady's family, but the noodles and meat were their own.

The old lady's life has always been very tight, and she hasn't celebrated the Chinese New Year for several years. This time she was particularly energetic and happy to put things in order.

Half a pig is not much. Fortunately, they will give away some rabbit meat from the farm from time to time. Qin An bought two more chickens. It's been done in a decent way for a year.

Time flies to the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, and Ding Pingshun is going home. Li Yunshan also takes the opportunity to go to the breeding farm to give them some snacks, wine and melon seeds, and some new year's money. It's not much, and it's not enough for one person. It was only five cents, and even the women who washed the rabbit skins each got one cent.

At home, Qin An also wrote the couplets and took out the lanterns, waiting for Li Yunshan to come back.

Qin An's house has finished posting it, and two red lanterns have been hung at the door, which looks very festive.

The old lady has been smiling from ear to ear since a few days ago. Mao Xiaosui, who is as busy as a spinning top every day, even feels that she is much younger.

The meal at home has been prepared, and while Li Yunshan was waiting, the two children had already finished a pack of snacks.

Since I deducted snacks and pocket money from the two children, the two children are also active in eating, and they don’t waste snacks so much.

She had nothing to do and found a rope to measure the height of the two children.

Li Ruyi is much taller than Li Ankang. Not only he and Li Yunshan are worried, but Li Ankang is also worried at a young age. Whenever he mentions his height, he always gets embarrassed, which makes him unhappy again.

When Li Yunshan came back, Li Ankang had been sitting there with a long face for a long time.

Li Yunshan glanced at his face several times and asked her in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Mao Xiaosui shook his head at him and touched the top of his head.

Li Yunshan understood. He wanted to sigh but was afraid that Li Ankang would be even more unhappy, so he touched his head, "Dad used to be short too."

Li Ankang raised his neck and looked at him. Instead of being comforted, he said rationally, "I haven't seen you before."

Li Yunshan said to him, "You saw how good I was when I was a child."

Li Ankang curled his lips, but didn't say anything else.

Mao Xiaosui immediately changed the subject with a smile and asked everyone to hang up lanterns and post couplets.

Li Ruyi raised her hand, "I want to hang a lantern."

Li Ankang also said slowly, "I want to die too."

"Let's go, daddy will hug you." Li Yunshan picked up the unhappy Li Ankang and coaxed him.

Li Ankang was happy when Li Yunshan put him around his neck and started hanging the lantern.

Qin An was eating with a bowl of rice in his hand, leaning against the door and watching them.

Li Yunshan asked him, "What kind of food?"

Qin An looked behind him like a thief and said, "Stewed beans and rice."

Mao Xiaosui was surprised, "It's just beans and rice, what are you doing sneakily?"

Qin An sighed, "The old lady is going to arrange a marriage for me."

"You have an extra...mother?"

Qin An smiled and said, "I'm just a little annoyed, but I'm not lazy." He added, "The old lady wants to give me the land deed. She will go to the county to sign the deed after the new year."

"I consider you my son."

Qin An shrugged, "Who says it's not?"

The expression on Qin An's face was quite happy when he said this. They used to bicker and quarrel, but Mao Xiaosui was really happy for him.
