When I got home, I went to Fang's house to borrow a hoe, and dug two rows of land behind the house. Because of the addition of stones, those chili seedlings were planted quickly.

Fang's mother told Su Qing that the land behind the house belonged to his family, and it was originally designated in the yard.Because the eldest son of the village chief left in a hurry, the courtyard wall was not built.

At first, the house was sold to Su Qing's uncle together with the land, but now, it belongs to Su Qing.

Su Qing wanted to quickly build the courtyard wall, which would give him a sense of security.

But what Fang Amu said was right, the construction of the courtyard wall could not be completed in a day, and the materials had to be prepared first, besides, there was no adult in Su Qing's house to take care of it.

You have to hire men to do heavy work, not to mention the wages, let’s hire people to do the work, you have to be in charge of those who do the work, and you have to eat twice a day, Su Qing alone is definitely not enough.

Hearing Fang Amu's words, Su Qing was very depressed. Apart from the two ingots, there was rice and noodles at home, but rice and noodles alone were not enough, and some decent dishes were needed.

It seems that we still need to find a way to earn some money first, or else let alone building courtyard walls, sooner or later we will have to sit back and eat.

He doesn't have any ideas now, and he doesn't know what to do to make money except for frying tea.There is no hot pepper yet, and of course hot and sour shredded bamboo shoots can’t be made, and other foods can’t be imagined for a while.

Besides, it's not clear what the town is like.

I hope this tea can be sold at a good price, and I have to find a chance to go to the town.

I took out the clothes I changed yesterday and washed them. Fortunately, there was a well at the door. I tied a small wooden bucket with a rope and threw it down. The small bucket was full. Although it was a bit difficult, I could still carry it.

This draft and water is quite convenient, and I don't have to go to the small river at the head of the village like everyone else.

Without washing powder and soap, Su Qing had to put the clothes on the washboard and rub them desperately, then poured out the dirty water, changed a basin of water, went back and forth several times, finally felt that the water was clear, and then dried them on the clothes drying pole superior.

I touched my belly, I was hungry.I only ate two eggs in the morning, and I did so much work, I should have digested it early.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw the bag of flour, and I thought whether it would be better to make dumplings or steamed buns, but there was no meat at home, and there were no other vegetables, only a few small green peppers that I had just picked.

It seems that I can only do simple ones. Think about how many eggs there are in the cabinet.

In the end, I decided to make noodles and stir-fry green peppers and eggs together as a topping.

I dug out a bowl of flour, added water and kneaded the noodles. For a southerner, making pasta is really not very good.

He can only do a few simple things, and he will be able to do it when he sees others do it.But I didn’t control it well, I put in too much water, so I had to add some flour, and the dough was a little too much in the end. Thinking about the hard work that the stone helped today, I can send them a bowl to express my gratitude.

The two families live so close, there must be a lot of things to trouble them in the future, so it's no wonder there are so many people, haha.

Fortunately, I found a very long rolling pin, rolled the dough into a large and thin pancake, then cut it into thin strips with a kitchen knife, and put it aside for cooking.

First fry the eggs and chili, um, it's so fragrant and authentic.Put the eggs in a bowl, add water to the pot and bring to a boil, then put the noodles in, add salt, go to the house and poke the shallots and chop them up.

Take the noodles out of the pot, put them in the big blue and white bowl, put eggs and green onion on top, and dig a spoonful of lard into it. It would be more perfect if there is a little chili powder, but it is really delicious.

This big bowl should be enough for the three of them to eat, so send it to them first.

The Fang family's mother is also cooking lunch, the stone is burning the fire, Xiao Douding is no longer there, and she puts the bowl on their kitchen table, it's so hot, she hastened to touch her earlobe.

"Fang Amu, I made noodles at noon and brought them for you to try. I tasted it and it was delicious." Su Qing pinched Fang's ear and said to Fang Amu.

Fang Amu was very happy to see Su Qing coming in, but when she saw the big bowl of noodles on the table, her face immediately turned cloudy.

"You child is really ignorant. The noodles and eggs are such precious things. You gave us so much. What a waste. You should take it home and eat it yourself. If you can't finish it, you can save it for another meal. Eat, we have something to eat at home." He was still very angry after speaking, and wanted Su Qing to take the noodles away.

Su Qing was a bit Spartan, he was stupid all of a sudden, what's going on, he gave them food with good intentions, but he still got blamed!

Shitou looked at the angry Amu, then at Su Qing who was stupid there, and hurried over and pulled the corner of Lafang Amu's clothes, "Amu, Shitou and Si'er haven't eaten white noodles for a long time, and I really want to eat them. Brother Su Qing also has good intentions, so don't be angry."

Hearing Shitou's words, Fang's mother felt guilty and sad, yes, the family is in trouble, not to mention egg white noodles, even if you can eat a full stomach every day, it is already good.

The man in the family and the eldest son all went to the town to look for work, and they couldn't earn much money after a day of hard work, let alone talk if they couldn't find anything.

Although the wheat in the field will be harvested soon.In the past few days, everyone is praying, hoping that God will bless the rain, and when the wheat is collected and the taxes and rents are paid, even if there is not much left, it will be sold for money.How can he be willing to eat by himself, besides, the eldest is sixteen, and he needs to save some money for his dowry, so that he can find a good brother in the future.Shitou and Si'er are still young, although they are not as good, but they don't want to eat something good.

Hey, life is really going well... It doesn't matter to adults, as long as they can eat enough, there are still several households in the village who can't even eat enough, but the children don't understand, and when they grow up again, of course they I want to eat something delicious.

Looking at the stone and then at Su Qing, he sighed, besides, Brother Su was also kind.

Thinking of this, Fang Amu was a little embarrassed, "That Brother Su, I was wrong just now, so I shouldn't lose my temper with you. I know you are kind, but Brother Su, you should save yourself, these days It’s still growing. It’s really wasteful that you spend so much on white flour and eggs. You may not understand it when you’re young, but I still want to tell you. Besides, after you finish eating the good things now What about the day."

After a pause, he said, "I don't know when that uncle of yours will come back. If you don't come back, you are a little brother, and you can't lift your hands or shoulders..." When it came to this, he didn't continue , just sighed.

Hearing what Fang's mother said, Su Qing didn't get angry anymore, and she was also kind, afraid that she would not be able to live a young life.

"Fang Amu, don't worry, this isn't the first time I've done it. My hands are a little raw, and I've done a lot. Besides, the stone helped me a lot today. I just want to thank him. , Well, you can keep these noodles for eating. I still have some at home, I’m so hungry, I’m leaving first. That stone, remember to take the bowl back to me when you’re done eating.”

After Su Qing left, Shi Shi took out two more eggs from his bosom. Originally, he wanted to wait for his father and brother to come back at night, but now he can take them out to make Eminem happy.

Seeing the egg in the stone's hand, I realized that it was given by Su Qing in the morning.Patting Shitou's head, Fang Amu wiped the corners of his eyes, and told Shitou that Brother Su would help if there was anything he could do in the future.Then he called out Xiao Douding who was staying in the room, served a bowl of noodles for each of them, and added a few pieces of eggs.Pour the rest into another basin and put it away.

Such a good thing, wait for everyone to come back to try it together tonight.

When she got home, Su Qing hurriedly put the remaining noodles into the pot. The eggs were still halfway through, and her handicrafts were pretty good. After eating them, she went to the mountain and got some more as soon as there were not many people who knew about it.Let it dry in the sun, and then you can cook rice noodle soup to eat.

Otherwise, when everyone in the village knows about it, it won't be as easy as it is now.

I still remember that in my previous life, as soon as the bamboo shoots and bracken sprouted, I didn’t know how many people went up the same mountain and walked through the same place every day.For those who go a little later, when you pass by, there will only be traces that were pinched off one by one.

Shi Shi was ordered to bring back the blue and white bowl from Su Qing's family. There were two corn breads in the bowl. It should be corn bread. Poor Su Qing had never eaten corn bread in her previous life.

Su Qing really wanted to touch Shitou's head, because Shitou's face was so red and cute.But I am embarrassed to start.

"Brother Su, don't dislike me, my family is poor, that's what I can get out of this multigrain bag." It turned out to be embarrassing, because what they gave me was eggs and flour, but my family gave me a multigrain bag.

Well, it is indeed a bit shabby, but Su Qing is quite happy.

In fact, although this miscellaneous grain bag is not a good thing, but he is very hungry, and it is also convenient. Generally, people who go out to work eat this, and there is bread bread, (that is what we call cornmeal. cake).It is said that Shitou's father had this for lunch.

"Why do you dislike it? I happen to be going to the mountains in the afternoon. I'll have a snack when I'm hungry. By the way, are you still going?"

"I'm going, E-Mum is going too, and I want to get more back? I also told my good friends. They were very happy when they found out, and they had already gone up the mountain. Brother Su, you won't If you're angry, I'll tell someone else."

"No, there are many things on the mountain. If you pick them today, they will grow again tomorrow. Besides, that mountain is not my family's. They pick theirs, and we pick ours. Otherwise, it's a pity to stay on the mountain forever. .Okay, let's go together." I just saw Fang Amu coming out with a child.

Because it was very close to home, Fang Amu brought Xiao Douding with her. The little man held a small basket in one hand, and held Fang Amu's clothes tightly with the other hand. It's so cute, cuter than a stone.

It's just that I am a little timid and dare not speak.Occasionally, he looked up at Su Qing, saw Su Qing looking at him, and immediately lowered his head again, just like a rabbit, with two buns on his head and a red mole on his forehead.Just like the boy sitting down by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it feels very fun, but it is a little thin.

Su Qing thought that she also had a red mole on her forehead, and then looked at Fang Amu's forehead, feeling a little strange.Many people here have things growing on their heads, either red moles or flowers. I saw an old man on the road just now, and there seemed to be a flower with several petals on his forehead.

Su Qing felt a little shocked, so she asked in a spirit of not being ashamed to ask: "That Aunt Fang, why Si'er and I both have a red mole on their foreheads."

After Fang Amu heard this, she smiled and said, "Because we are all brothers. When you grow up, get married, and have children, you will blossom like me."

Su Qing didn't understand, "What brother, what is blooming, isn't the stone a brother?"

"I'm a man, not a brother." Stone puffed up his chest and answered Su Qing before Fang Amu could speak.

As for why Su Qing asked, they didn't find it strange at all that a topic that even five-year-old Douding knew.Because the Fang family's mother told them.I once heard Su Qing's uncle say that Su Qing was frightened when she was very young and suffered from the disease of leaving the soul, and she was fine until yesterday. It is normal to not know many things.

So Fang Amu decided to tell him some very common things, so as not to make a joke when it was time.

Fang Amu said: "Like you, a person with a red mole on his forehead is a brother who has not yet married. My brother comes of age at 16, and a man without a red mole on his forehead is a man. He becomes an adult at 18, and when a man becomes an adult To get married, those who bloom are the ones who have given birth to a baby. When a baby is born, it will bloom one petal after another.”

Because we have already arrived on the mountain, there are a lot of bracken here, so Su Qing only focused on picking the bracken on the ground for a while, but I didn’t hear the words that Fang Amu said later, I only knew that the mole on the forehead and the flowering one were brother Son, the others are men.

Su Qing was still curious about why there were two names, but she was distracted for a while, and forgot after a while.

Several people walked up the hillside while popularizing knowledge for Su Qing.Fang Amu also told Su Qing that the village they live in is now called Dongtou Village, but it was originally called Fangjia Village a few years ago, because most of the people in the village have the surname Fang, and the name is easy to pronounce.

Later, a big man came to the village and bought most of the good land in Fangjia Village, and then leased it to the villagers of Fangjia Village. A big house was built in the east of the village, and for some unknown reason, Fangjia Village was changed into Dongtou Village.

Dongtou Village has a radius of tens of miles, and is even the largest village in Yunqi County. There are about 500 households in the village, with a population of more than [-] people.Speaking of this, the Fang family's mother is very proud, it seems that it is a very honorable thing to live in Dongtou Village.

At that time, Su Qing thought it was a bit funny. Isn't it just that the village is bigger, so why are they so complacent?

Later I found out that Dongtou Village is not only larger than other villages, but also has more promising people, and it is also because of the important person in Dongtou Village.When others hear that they are from Dongtou Village, they will be looked down upon. Although there are still one or two people in the village who are not full to eat, they are much better than other villages. People are easy, no wonder to be proud of.

Although most of the people in the village have the surname Fang, there are only a few outside surnames, such as Su Qing, who bought houses and fields in the village, so they can settle in Dongtou Village.Of course, the same is true of that big man, but Su Qing didn't inquire carefully.

When it came to the fields, Su Qing hurriedly asked if he was in Fangjia Village, and Su Qing was also very happy when he got an affirmative answer.I can be regarded as a person who owns a house and land, so I have to look for it when I go back, such as the house deed and land deed.

And find some time to recognize your own fields and see what is being planted now.

Because his mind wandered and he paid attention to the bamboo shoots and bracken on the ground, he didn't pay much attention to Fang's mother's words, so that he missed a few important words.For example, brother can marry a man.And you can marry several, and the elder brother can have children.

Now his mind is full of how many fields his family has, how much land he has, how much food he has, and so on.
