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

With their help, by the time all the melon seeds were peeled, it was just getting dark.

Gu Qingqing asked the two sisters to wash their hands first, then gave them six coins each and a piece of mung bean cake.

Wenwen and Xinxin were afraid to take the food at first, and only took it after Gu Qingqing forced it into their hands.

The two sisters were very happy and said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie."

"This is what you deserve. Do you want to come tomorrow? If you want to come, wait until we come back from town, and I'll ask Dahua to call you." Gu Qingqing asked.

After hearing this, the two sisters nodded vigorously. Of course they agreed.

"Okay, let's make this clear. I'll ask Dahua to call you tomorrow."

"Okay, let's not go out. Let's wait at home." Wenwen said, and then she trotted away with Xinxin.

Gu Qingqing looked at the uneven field road and shouted to them, "Run slower, don't fall."

"I know, Auntie."

The two little ones left, but Luo Meihua was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at the large stall in the yard and asked uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, can you handle it? Do you need me to help you with something simple?"

Gu Qingqing didn't refuse and asked her to help chop the melon seeds, walnuts and peanuts.

She and Wen Wuyan were busy with other things.

After Luo Meihua finished the work in her hands, she did not stay any longer. She said hello to Gu Qingqing and went back.

Wen Wuyan's family was the only ones left. They took some time to drink two bowls of thick porridge with pork head.

The moonlight was very bright, and the earth looked like it was covered with a layer of silver film, which was the scene that Gu Qingqing had only seen when she was a child.

If the kitchen wasn’t covered with thatched roof, there would be no need to light the oil lamp.

Some were demoulding, some were lighting the fire, and they were all busy and having fun.

By the time they put the last batch of mooncakes into the pan and baked them, it was already past midnight.

Dahua and Erhua couldn't hold on any longer and went back to their room to sleep.

Wen Wuyan acted as a cook and said to Gu Qingqing, "Go wash up and go to bed first. I'll watch over you here."

"Yes!" Gu Qingqing agreed, but after she finished washing, she wanted to go to the kitchen to watch over the pot.

At this time, Sanhua's humming sound could be heard from the wooden bed in the room as she woke up.

Gu Qingqing had to go back to the house. She first covered Erhua, who was sleeping on the floor, with a quilt. Then she imitated what Dahua had done and sniffed around Sanhua's belly. Sure enough, she smelled something.

After she changed Sanhua into a new cloth, she saw that she was not sleeping, so she covered her eyes and carried her to the kitchen. When she got to Wen Wuyan, she took away her hand covering her face and said, "Hold Sanhua for a while, I'll go wash the things."

"You'll do the same thing tomorrow. It's getting late. You went to town early today and didn't get any rest when you came back. You'll have to go to town again after daybreak. Go and get some rest!" Wen Wuyan didn't go to pick up Sanhua right away, and he wanted Gu Qingqing to hold Sanhua and go back to rest.

Staying up late seemed to be the norm for former college students.

I was a little tired, but not so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.

Besides, this place is no different from the wilderness. It would be a bit creepy to leave one person outside.

Gu Qingqing said, "Don't worry about it. I can see it while the moon is big. Besides, we don't live in a village like we do. There are houses all around us. If I go back to sleep here and leave you alone outside in the middle of the night, wouldn't you be scared?"

Before Wen Wuyan could say anything, Gu Qingqing forced Sanhua into his arms. She took Sanhua's special wooden basin and went to the sink to wash the shit and hang it up.

Then, the three of them huddled in the kitchen, in silence!

Only after the last pot of mooncakes comes out of the pot and they are taken out and moved into the cabin can the family go to bed.

The next day, Gu Qingqing almost couldn't get up. If it weren't for the money dancing wildly in front of her mind, she really wanted to sleep a little longer.

So, when she got up, she pulled the cart and Dahua out without even having time to eat at home.

After she finished her shopping in the morning and drove the cart back to Niutoushan Village and to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Wen Wuyan went to the kitchen to get a bowl of brown rice porridge and brought out a plate of cold shepherd's purse.

Greeting Gu Qingqing and Dahua, "You guys eat first, I'll move the things in the car."

Although Gu Qingqing and Dahua had eaten two buns each in the town, she was already hungry after the journey back.

While washing her hands, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. You guys can eat now."

As Wen Wuyan was speaking, he saw white radishes in the bamboo basket on the cart, on the deck, and in another basket with something unknown.

He turned around and asked, "Why did you buy so many radishes?"

Gu Qingqing said to him as she ate her rice, "There will be no vegetables at home in a few days. The cabbages over there haven't grown yet. Even if we want to eat wild vegetables every day, we don't have time to dig them up every day. Today, I met an old man at the town gate carrying radishes to sell, and I bought all of them."

"Let me fry it tonight. I saw Old Yang frying radishes like this before, and it tasted great." Wen Wuyan said, looking at the radishes.

"Uh-huh!" Gu Qingqing responded inarticulately.

Wen Wuyan smiled, put down the wooden stick in his hand, and used both hands to lift the bamboo basket off the car.

Then he used the bamboo basket as a crutch, walking and stopping, and finally moved the radish basket to the door.

After he moved both baskets off the cart, he picked up the basket and started picking up the things on the cart with Erhua.

"Did you have a smooth trip to town today?"

Gu Qingqing finished the last bite of rice and said to Dahua, "Don't worry, eat slowly."

Then she answered Wen Wuyan, "Everything went well. Jinji received all three hundred mooncakes and paid nine taels of silver. The silver is in the basket you just took down. I have to deliver another three hundred tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Nine taels? Shouldn't it be eight taels and seven hundred wen?" Wen Wuyan asked.

"Hey, I gave them three hundred coins and asked them to give us the whole amount of silver."

"After deducting the cost, it would still be around six taels. It would take me half a year to earn this much in the past." Wen Wuyan said.

"Yeah," Gu Qingqing nodded in agreement, but she also felt sad in her heart that the mooncake selling cycle was too short.

If she could sell it every day, wouldn't she make a fortune?

Then she thought of the meat in the bamboo basket and said, "There is one more thing. Yesterday I promised an old customer that I would sell Shaobai in town tomorrow and on the Moon Worship Festival, so I bought another ten pounds of meat today. I will take all these with me when I go to town tomorrow." As Gu Qingqing spoke, she walked to the second basket and started taking things out.

At this time, Erhua must be watching.

She no longer cared about food. There was meat, delicious pastries, and a few leftover mooncakes at home.

They were all given to her by her mother. Although she was reluctant to eat them, she also felt that she could not finish them.

But she just loved watching her mother put things out of the basket, and it seemed very fun to watch.

Wen Wuyan said at this time, "I can stay out of town tomorrow. The Moon Worship Festival is coming soon. Let's go there together as a family."

In the past, his family didn’t have the means, so even though he knew there were lanterns in the town at night, he didn’t have the chance to take the mother and daughter with him.

Normally, he would still be digging the canal at this time. Even if he was at home, Qingqing would be entangled with trivial matters at home and could not leave.

This year is the first year they have been separated, and they can go to see the lanterns.

But in the end, I heard Gu Qingqing say, "No!"
