Happy Farmer's Life

Chapter 11 To save or not to save

It will be Chinese New Year in one month, and every household is preparing things.Du Weiming felt very lonely at this moment.Some time ago, because I just came to this world, I was busy with life and earning a living. Every day was like a spinning top, and the feeling of loneliness was not so obvious.After all, I lie on the bed almost exhausted every day, how can I have that time to think about things.Seeing people coming and going in and out of the village, everyone in the village is preparing new year's goods, Du Weiming misses his sister very much.I don't know if my sister has calmed down now, and how is my nephew now... Missing is so strong at this moment, Du Weiming couldn't help crying.Sister, I am fine now, living a very hard life, I will definitely live a good life, work hard to earn money, maybe at a certain moment I can go back, I hope you are all well.

The work in the field basically stopped, and Du Weiming planted some potatoes and cabbage in the backyard, but the growth rate seemed to be slow.I also go to the mountain once a few days. After all, it is cold and it has snowed for the past two days.During this period, Du Weiming dried all the olives, and decided to use the olives according to the situation.I don't know how the sales of the box and body oil are going. I'll see the situation when I go to town in a couple of days.Du Weiming found part of the cabbage at home and was going to make some spicy cabbage. He saw that Aunt Zhang next door had also made 2 cans, which seemed to be pretty good, so he decided to give it a try.Du Weiming has been eating white rice for the past two days, and Du Weiming feels a bit extravagant.He inspected it and found that almost no one in the village eats rice. Most people in the village head's family eat some brown rice when the situation is good. Du Weiming then exchanged 20 catties of white rice for 60 catties of brown rice and kept it at home.Potatoes and radishes should be available in the spring of next year.The problem is that there are not many vegetables to eat, green leafy vegetables.Now the vegetables at home are basically potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and pickled pickles.Sometimes you can pick some mushrooms when you go up the mountain, which can improve it a little.Du Weiming really wanted to eat green vegetables, spinach and so on.Greenhouse planting is definitely not a joke, how can we get some vegetables to eat in winter?

Du Weiming counted all the things at home and prepared to go to town tomorrow to buy food for the New Year.There are 6 chickens at home, some eggs, 2 fat rabbits, black fungus, mushrooms and so on, and pickles. Du Weiming agreed with the village chief to make rice cakes with his family. Just a small portion will do.He doesn't know how to make tofu, so when someone makes it, he just pays some money to buy some.Just go to the town and buy some fish, mutton, beef, pork, etc., and then buy New Year pictures. I don’t know if there are Spring Festival couplets in this place.Guessing what he was going to buy, Du Weiming dug out 550 Wen from under the bed, and the usual money would not move. The money was enough to buy food, since he was alone anyway.

The next day, there were obviously more people going to town than usual. The ox carts were full, and some people were walking beside them. Everyone's faces were filled with joy.Yes, isn’t it the Chinese New Year that you look forward to all year round?Everyone was discussing what to buy, and Du Weiming was also listening and sometimes participating in the discussion.Everyone talked and laughed, time passed faster than usual, when we arrived in town, we split up and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.Du Weiming and the village chief went to the shopkeeper Fang first.The village chief wants to add some bowls and chopsticks, and Du Weiming also needs to add some, but the most important thing is to know the sales situation of that thing.The shopkeeper Fang said that he had sold 6 sets, because the price was relatively high, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, mainly because the rich ladies in the town bought it and tried it.And gave the money to Du Weiming, a set of 55 Wen, a total of 6 sets were sold for 330 Wen, excluding the 33 Wen sold by the shopkeeper, it was 297 Wen.The sales situation was not as good as Du Weiming expected, but it was not bad. Du Weiming bought some bowls, chopsticks and seasonings. He removed 60 Wen and stored them with the shopkeeper. Du Weiming took the remaining 237 Wen to prepare Going to do New Year's goods.

The street is also much more lively than in the past. Everyone is carrying things in big bags and small bags. Du Weiming went to the meat stall first, bought 5 catties of pork for 50 renminbi, and asked for 2 catties of bones. Yes, even a shredded meat on the bone is quite difficult to find, 10 Wen.I also bought some beef and mutton and spent another 60 Wen.Fish is more expensive than expected, but as I said on the way here, the village will fish in the river by itself every year, so there is no need to buy fish.Every household can get a few of the fish caught.The things were quite heavy, so Du Weiming went to the shopkeeper again to store the things.I just went to the streets for a stroll, and I usually don't have time to go shopping. Taking this opportunity, Du Weiming also wanted to take a stroll in this Pingfu town.There are mainly shops on the East Street, which can be regarded as a high-end consumer place in Pingfu Town, and usually the rich people in the town come here to consume.West Street is closer to the common people. Du Weiming went to the shops and looked around. The four treasures of the study are not needed for the time being. After asking the price, he thinks that he should buy them later when he has the conditions. Besides, Du Weiming is not good at using brushes.In front is a shop selling pastries, and there are quite a lot of people inside. Du Weiming went in and bought a lot of pastries, which can be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and he spent another 50 Wen.From time to time, there will be small vendors selling food on the side of the road. When Du Weiming sees those who are interested, he will stop to eat snacks, buns, glutinous rice balls, and Du Weiming is full.In the end, I went to buy two New Year pictures and saw them, this world.It seems that there is no such thing as Spring Festival couplets, but there are New Year pictures.Seeing that it was about the same time, Du Weiming went to the shopkeeper's shop to pick up his things, and went to meet everyone.

Everyone carried a lot of things in their hands. Du Weiming took a look and found that he bought few things.Some families have a large number of people, and they buy a lot of meat alone.There are also those who have children at home, bought toys and new cloth to prepare new clothes.Du Weiming still kept his new clothes. The last time he asked Aunt Zhang to help him make clothes, he specially left a new suit for the new year.No way, the habit of wearing new clothes during the New Year still needs to be maintained.I feel that the villagers who are usually thrifty are very generous at this time.Du Weiming felt as if he had returned to the familiar modern world. Every time the Chinese New Year came, he and his sister would go to the supermarket to buy food. At that time, things seemed to be free of charge, and they would buy food that they were usually reluctant to eat. .It turned out that the conditions had been bad. In the first year my sister went to work, the two went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food. My sister even went to the store to buy a new suit of clothes for him, but I was not willing to buy anything.Du Weiming suddenly became dazed, sister, are you also preparing for the New Year now?I don't know if the time here is the same as that there. If it is the same, it should be time to prepare for the New Year.

The bullock cart came to a screeching stop, and Du Weiming suddenly recovered, hey, let's live on.After returning home with his things, Du Weiming put all the food in the kitchen cabinet, and waited until tomorrow to deal with it.After feeding the chicken and rabbit, Du Weiming went to the toilet, but he didn't want to see a person fainted by the toilet.Du Weiming hurried forward, laid the man flat on the ground, and found several wounds on his body, with faint blood oozing out. He brushed his hair away, but found that he was not from the village. What should I do?
