Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Time suddenly slowed down. Yes, Zheng Xiaoman felt like a long time had passed before he finally heard a sound coming from the bottom of the mountain.

By this time the sky had become completely dark. She looked down the mountain and could see the light of torches.

"Mother, mother."

Zheng Xiaoman ran over excitedly and saw three people pushing a cart up the mountain with difficulty.

"Hey, mom is here, is Xiaoman scared?"

Zhou Chunfeng was also feeling uneasy. It was so dark now and she couldn't feel at ease leaving her two children alone on the mountain.

I finally felt relieved when I saw that my daughter was fine.

"Mom, I'm fine. You must be exhausted. Do you want to rest for a while?"

"No more resting. It's getting dark now. It's not safe on the mountain. Let's hurry down the mountain."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't say anything else, and everyone put the sweet potato bags on the cart together.

With a cart, the remaining sweet potatoes can be transported down at once.

When going down the mountain, Zheng Xiaoman was responsible for holding the torch and walking beside his grandfather to light the way.

The group stumbled along, and finally reached the foot of the mountain after the cart flipped over three or four times.

By the time we got home, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Zheng Dashan was waiting at home anxiously. When he heard the noise at the door, he hurriedly asked Lixia to go out and take a look.

"Lixia, go see if your mother and the others are back."

"Dad, I'm going right away."

Grandma Zheng also came over in the afternoon. She had already prepared dinner, but the food was cold by now.

She also followed her grandson out of the house. Seeing that the old man and his family had returned, she hurriedly took the food to the kitchen to heat it up.

Zheng Xiaoman was so tired that she felt like her legs and feet were not her own. If she was so tired, one could imagine how tired her mother and others must be.

Grandma Zheng poured water for several people with concern, "I have prepared the meal, please go inside and eat first. It is so late now, the children must be starving."

Zheng Xiaoman was really hungry, so he only ate a pancake at noon that day.

For dinner, her grandmother cooked sweet potato and corn porridge. Zheng Xiaoman was able to taste the flavor of a banquet from this ordinary porridge.

She was so hungry that everything she ate tasted delicious.

The others were not much better than her. They all lowered their heads and drank their porridge at twice the speed as usual.

After eating two bowls of porridge, Zheng Xiaoman lay down comfortably on the kang.

Her arms and legs are sore now, and she doesn't want to move at all.

Grandma Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhou Chunfeng said, "Dad, Mom, it's so late, don't go back, just stay here for the night."

Old man Zheng agreed immediately. He was too old to work all day and his body was exhausted.

Grandma Zheng boiled some hot water, and the few of them washed up quickly and went to sleep.

The kang in their house is big enough to accommodate four or five people.

Zheng Dashan, the old man, Zheng Qingming and Zheng Lixia sleep in the same room.

Old Mrs. Zheng and Zhou Chunhua lived in the room shared by Zheng Qingming, while Zhou Chunfeng and her two daughters slept in another room.

Several people fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the pillows, leaving only the sound of snoring.

When Zheng Xiaoman woke up the next day, she stretched in bed, and then the pain in her body made her grimaced.

It was already bright outside, and the voices of her grandmother and mother talking could be heard in the yard.

She looked to her side and saw that even Xiao Chunya was up today.

She slept in for a rare time and stayed in bed, not wanting to get up.

She lay on the kang, listening to the voices outside, and fell asleep again in a daze.

When she woke up again, there was no sound in the yard.

She estimated that it was already past ten o'clock, so she got up and got dressed.

She opened the door and walked out. There was no one in the yard. She wondered where everyone had gone.

She went to the kitchen and saw some sparks in the stove.

She opened the big pot, which contained a bowl of sweet potato porridge and a steamed bun.

It was obvious that this was left for her. Zheng Xiaoman took the rice out of the pot and had breakfast first.

After breakfast she went to the backyard again. After feeding the pigs and chickens, she found that there was not much work for her to do today.

"Dad, where are my mom and the others?"

Zheng Xiaoman entered his parents' room and asked Zheng Dashan who was weaving a basket.

"Your brother and grandfather went to the mountains to see if they could find another sweet potato field. Your grandmother and mother went to the town, and Chun Ya and Li Xia followed your aunt to the village to play."

No wonder there's no one at home.

"Dad, I'm going out for a walk too. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, go play."

Zheng Xiaoman carried the backpack and went out to the back mountain. This time she didn't go far, but just walked around the foot of the mountain, waiting for her brother to come down and go home together.

She took out a sickle and started cutting grass for the pigs, so that there would be enough food for the piglets at home.

In a short while, a pile of pig feed was piled up beside her.

She walked forward while mowing the grass, and when she looked up, she almost bumped into a big tree in front of her.

Only then did she realize that she had walked into the bushes without paying attention.

Zheng Xiaoman stood up with the help of a tree trunk. Her waist had been bent for a long time and it felt sore when she stood up straight.

She tilted her head back and bent over. When she looked up, she saw many small fruits that looked like peeled chestnuts growing among the leaves of the tree.

She had seen a lot of them on the ground just now, but she didn't pay much attention.

She picked up a fruit from the ground and looked at it carefully. Oh my God, isn’t this an acorn?

Then the woods next to her are all oak trees.

This acorn is a good thing. It contains a very high starch content.

In her previous life, she went to the village to host a banquet and saw some old people going up the mountain to pick this thing.

Later the old lady told her that when they were young, there was famine all over the country.

There was not enough food at home, and later we relied on acorns to fill our stomachs and avoid starving to death.

If you eat the acorn directly, it will taste very bitter. You must process it before eating to remove the bitterness.

The outer hard shell of acorns can be removed and the flesh inside can be ground into powder.

Acorn powder can be used to make many things, such as acorn tofu, acorn cake, and acorn biscuits.

However, acorns contain a substance that is difficult to digest, and eating too much can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Later, it was gradually replaced by rice and wheat, and when their generation grew up, they rarely ate food made from acorns.

Although humans cannot eat too much of this thing, it is absolutely fine to feed it to pigs.

If pigs eat this every day, they will grow fatter and fatter.

Zheng Xiaoman put down the backpack, bent down and started picking up acorns on the ground.

Cluck, cluck, cluck, with such a large area of ​​oak trees on this mountain, her pigs will never have to worry about having no food to eat again.

She was picking up fruits happily along the way, and she felt that what she was picking up were not acorns, but big pieces of fat pork.

When Old Man Zheng and Zheng Qingming went down the mountain, they saw a pile of piglet grass on the side of the road, but no one.

Zheng Qingming knew that his sister would come to the mountain to cut grass for pigs every day, so he called out to her.

"Xiao Man, Xiao Man, are you there?"

Zheng Xiaoman didn't walk too far, but his figure was blocked by trees and grass.

She quickly stood up, "Brother, I'm here."

Zheng Qingming put down the bag in his hand and walked towards her.
