She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Wen Wuyan's family of five sat on the old ox cart, and their cart's shaft was placed behind the old ox cart, saving Gu Qingqing the trouble of pulling the cart home.

Gu Qingqing sat alone at the rear of the car, allowing Dahua behind her to communicate seamlessly with Sanhua, who was over a month old. She rested her chin on her hand and watched the scenery of the fields appear before her eyes and then slowly move away.

After some information at the brokerage firm today, I learned that they can afford an ordinary house with a courtyard, but if she wants to make a living after buying such a house, the first option is to rent a storefront, and the second option is to set up a roadside stall.

Tsk! She doesn't want to.

Because the first one is not cost-effective.

The second is simply not wanting.

Of course, in addition to the houses with shops that the waiter told her about at the beginning, there were also a few other cheaper ones.

To put it in today's terms, it's right next to the city wall. Even the best wine is afraid of being hidden in a deep alley.

As for the fields, there were none at all near Niutou Mountain, but there were a few acres of dry land near the town.

Gu Qingqing thought about it and it made sense. Unless there was a natural disaster or famine, fields were the lifeblood of farmers. Who would sell their land for no reason?

So, after telling the broker what kind of house they wanted and the price they were willing to pay, they left their home address and returned.

They came back, and Wen Youcai, who was still in the town, followed in the footsteps they had left and turned into the dental clinic.

It is unknown what the clerk in the dental clinic said to him.

......

The ox cart was not moving fast, but it was a pleasant ride as it swayed along. By the time we got home, the sun had already set.

After getting off the ox cart, Gu Qingqing suddenly asked Wen Wuyan, "What do people eat during the Moon Worship Festival?"

Wen Wuyan was startled by her question. After thinking for a while, he asked back, "What do you mean by eating?"

"For example, moon cakes? Or sugar cakes?" There were moon cakes in the original owner's memory.

However, the original owner had only seen it from afar but had never eaten it. On the contrary, most households in the village ate sugar cakes.

The so-called sugar cake is actually made of fermented white flour. The dough is kneaded and filled with sugar mixed with flour. Then a red plant from the mountains is used to paint the surface of the bun into the shape of flowers and then it is steamed in a pot.

Because this is made of white flour and sugar, no family will make too much. For example, the Wen family used to only make six white flour sugar cakes each time.

After the moon worship, it will be distributed to the family, and the original owner's room will get one.

In this matter, Gu Qingqing thought Wen Wuyan was knowledgeable, but he said he didn't know either.

"The Moon Worship Festival is still four days away. The town will definitely be busy on that day. We can go shopping in the town and buy anything we like. On the night of the Moon Worship Festival, there will be a lantern viewing in the town. People from the surrounding villages will go together, and we can also view the lanterns there and then come back."

Wen Wuyan thought that Gu Qingqing was just craving for the food on the August Festival, so he comforted her like this.

Gu Qingqing said "Oh".

She had no interest in the lanterns; what interested her was whether the townspeople were interested in mooncakes.

If she was interested, could she do some and then sell meat and mooncakes at the same time? Gu Qingqing thought so and had a plan in her mind. When she went to town tomorrow, she would ask the customers who came to buy meat.

At the same time, you can also go to Jin Ji to have a look. As the largest pastry shop in town, Jin Ji should have pre-sold it in advance if it was available.

After figuring it out, Gu Qingqing stopped worrying about it.

When they got home, they found that their yard had changed.

"This? Could this be done by Uncle Zhang He and Yu Zhu?" Gu Qingqing said in surprise as she looked at the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo strips.

"It should be. I'll go ask them later." Wen Wuyan said.

Gu Qingqing nodded, "Go later and bring some things with you."

As Gu Qingqing spoke, she ran to the wooden house. She saw that the ropes on the house and the leaves she had left in the crack of the door were still the same, so she smiled.

He opened the door, took out a bowl from the house, and put the five slices of meat and a little salted vegetables left in the pot into the bowl.

"Take this over. We're not at home today, and they still helped us build the fence. We'll probably have lunch at their house, so just treat this as a side dish for them." Gu Qingqing said, seeing that Wen Wuyan was leaning on a crutch and it would be inconvenient for him to hold the bowl.

She handed the bowl of meat to Erhua, "Erhua, go with your father."

"Are we going to Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang's house? You and I are the happiest." Erhua giggled. She had only played with the brother and sister a few times, but she loved playing with them.

Erhua took the bowl handed to her by her mother, and then followed Wen Wuyan out.

Gu Qingqing was not in a hurry to collect the things in the car. Instead, she walked around the bamboo fence. She thought, when the spring comes next year, she can plant some wild flowers outside the fence. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to have fun with Uncle Tao?

Come pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains!

......

Dahua put the sleeping Sanhua into the house, and then helped her mother take the things down from the car.

After Gu Qingqing carried the thirty kilograms of sorghum flour back to the house, she waved her hand at Dahua, who was standing by the car guarding the fifty kilograms of brown rice, and said, "Dahua, you can't do this. Wait for your father to come back and ask him to help."

"Mom, let me go cook. What are we going to eat today?"

"Let's cook some millet porridge. There are four steamed buns left over from yesterday. Let's heat them up and eat them together."

Wen Wuyan came back with an expression that was hard to tell whether good or bad.

He said, "Uncle Zhanghe and Yuzhu helped build the fence, but Dad also helped here."

Gu Qingqing paused while working, "And dad?"

Wen Wuyan nodded.

Gu Qingqing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

If it was a large army or other villagers coming to help, they could easily use money or give some food as gifts to make up for it.

But it’s different if Wen Dacheng comes to help. If they don’t thank him, it would seem like they are getting the favor for nothing.

Thank you, Gu Qingqing is not willing to send the things she made to that hospital.

Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and looked at Wen Wuyan and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wen Wuyan thought for a moment and said, "Just leave this matter to me."

Since Wen Wuyan said so, Gu Qingqing didn't bother to ask any more questions.

Then the two of them worked together to move the brown rice from the car into the house.

In the evening, the family cooked millet porridge and gave each person a steamed bun, which they ate with the few salted vegetables left in the pot.

After processing the pork, the family still has important things to do before going to bed.

That is counting money.

Wen Wuyan led Dahua and Erhua to count the money, while Gu Qingqing silently calculated the total income and expenditure in her mind.

Today I cooked 30 pounds of meat, a total of 450 slices.

He ate 4 slices of noodles at home, gave 5 slices to the little beggar, took the remaining 5 slices back home, and tried 3 slices in the town. In total, he sold 433 slices, each slice costing 3 cents, for a total of 1299 cents.

The meal cost 37 cents.

The meat and seasoning cost 160 wen.

The grain store cost 468 wen.

It costs 10 cents to take a bullock cart on the way back.

"Is it six hundred and twenty-four?"

"Wow, I earned seven hundred and fourteen cents today!"

When the mother and daughter spoke, they were all stunned. Why was this different?

Wen Wuyan looked at the mother and daughter staring at each other, and said with a smile, "Manager Shen's deposit is still with us."

This time, Gu Qingqing let out a long "Oh".

Gu Qingqing kept twenty-four wen for herself, and put the remaining six hundred wen together with the eighty-three taels, three hundred and forty wen originally in the family.

Seeing that she only had six more taels to save up ninety taels of silver, Gu Qingqing immediately became motivated.

After counting the money, the family washed their hands and went to bed early.

I was so tired after a long day that I could hear snoring in the small wooden house.

......

The next morning, Gu Qingqing went to town alone, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, to deliver the meat from the Shen residence, and at the same time sold the extra three pounds.

The customers who followed found out that the snack shop in the town was already selling mooncakes.

You just have to queue up early, otherwise you won’t be able to buy it at all.

"Auntie, do you know what the fillings of their mooncakes are? How much is one?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously.
