Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

Meng Haisheng went out to sell cucumbers, and Lin Mucheng was not idle at home.

All 6 jars for pickling cucumbers were full.

There was also a basin of half-used fine salt under the eaves. Judging from the grains, it should be crushed by Lin Mucheng himself with a stone mill.

Next to the well, there was a bamboo woven cucumber twist to drain water.

Lin Mucheng likes to use cucumber twists to pickle cucumbers.

Cucumber twists have a sweet taste, and the pickled cucumbers will taste better.

Of course, there is another more important reason, cucumber twists are cheap.

Even if you don’t pick the ugly cucumber twists, they will not grow into beautiful cucumbers in the future. It is better to pick them early and leave the nutrients for other good-looking ones.

In addition to pickling pickles, cucumber twists can’t be bought at all. You can’t eat them after picking them, and they can only be fed to chickens in the end.

But who would have thought that this kind of small and tender cucumber that no one wants would become extremely delicious in Lin Mucheng’s hands.

"Haisheng, you're back."

Lin Mucheng heard the sound of a bicycle and poked her head out of the kitchen. As expected, she saw Meng Haisheng coming back.

"Mucheng, you're still pregnant. Just give me the job of pressing coarse salt in the future."

"Why are there so many rules? My sister-in-law worked in the fields when she was pregnant with my second child, and she was still busy until the day she gave birth."

"Besides, pressing salt today didn't tire me out. My sister-in-law and mother were here, so they helped me press it together."

Meng Haisheng felt relieved when he heard Lin Mucheng say this.

Meng Haisheng was very careful about the child in Lin Mucheng's belly, fearing that something might go wrong.

He handed Lin Mucheng the things he bought today.

"I bought buns in town. They tasted good. I'll bring a few back for you and Momo to try."

While Lin Mucheng was taking the buns, Meng Haisheng put a sun hat on her head like a magic trick.

"It's too sunny. Wear a sun hat when you go out to block the sun, so you don't get tanned."

"What a waste of money. I have a straw hat."

Although Lin Mucheng said this, he had a faint smile on his face.

Momo looked up at the buns in Lin Mucheng's hand, very anxious.

"Mom, Mom."

Meng Haisheng, who was standing by, picked up Momo and rubbed her head.

"Momo, do you want to eat buns? Daddy will heat them up. Eating cold ones will give you a stomachache."

Momo was a clingy little girl, so Meng Haisheng asked Lin Mucheng to take Momo to play in the yard.

He took out the fresh Spanish mackerel he had just bought.

Spanish mackerel doesn't have many small bones, at least it's suitable for children of Momo's age.

Fresh Spanish mackerel is best suited for clear stewing. Meng Haisheng quickly cleaned the Spanish mackerel and cut it into small pieces two fingers wide.

Stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, add the Spanish mackerel, and then add a handful of garlic sprouts to remove the fishy smell. When the soup turns milky white, add salt for seasoning, and a pot of delicious braised Spanish mackerel is ready.

As soon as Meng Haisheng opened the lid of the pot, the whole room was filled with the fresh aroma of Spanish mackerel.

Liang Xiaocui, who was passing by here, walked in the alley and smelled the fresh aroma of Spanish mackerel stewed in Meng Haisheng's house.

She swallowed her saliva and was jealous to death.

Meng Haisheng sold a few kilograms of cucumbers and dared to do this. He is indeed a spendthrift. Even if he learns well, he is a useless person.

Liang Xiaocui, who was jealous, was inevitable and ruined Meng Haisheng's reputation in the village.

But Meng Haisheng would not care about these things. He would prove everything with practical actions.

"Momo's buns are delicious."

Meng Haisheng looked at Momo holding the white and plump buns and eating them in big mouthfuls. He was so happy in his heart.

After a lifetime, he has let go of everything.

All fame and wealth are just floating clouds, and it is not as comfortable as living a simple life with a wife and children.

"Delicious."

Momo hasn't eaten big meat buns for a long time. She ate happily now, and her little face was rubbed with oil.

"Drink some more fish soup."

Meng Haisheng used an iron spoon to feed Momo fish soup and fish meat.

In the past, Lin Mucheng took care of Momo for meals. Every time when Momo was full, the food was cold.

Since Meng Haisheng was reborn, he took over this job.

"Haisheng, you have one too."

Lin Mucheng saw that Meng Haisheng didn't eat, so she took a bun and handed it to him.

"I ate it at noon, you and Momo can eat it. I bought a lot of meat today. If you want to eat, make a big pot."

Meng Hailian sent a bag of wheat last time, so there is enough white flour at home for the time being.

After two days when he is not busy, he will see which family has more wheat, and then he will buy a few hundred kilograms, and the food problem for his family of three will be solved.

"What kind of stuffing do you want to eat? I will make it tomorrow."

"You have the final say."

Lin Mucheng thought about it. She had some fennel and kidney beans planted next to her cucumber field, so she would make two kinds.

After dinner, the room was too hot to sleep, so Meng Haisheng spread the red mat and took the quilt to the bungalow.Let Momo sleep outside first.

The so-called bungalow is just the west wing without a roof. It is flattened and used to dry food and other things.

The bungalow was exposed to the sun all day, and Meng Haisheng felt that the bungalow was hot when he came up.

Momo was very happy. She lay on the quilt and asked Lin Mucheng to tell her a story.

Lin Mucheng's voice was soft. She told Momo the story of Snow White.

Meng Haisheng, who was lying on his side, took a fan and fanned the two of them, and drove away mosquitoes by the way.

The summer night sky was full of stars. When you look up, you can see the Milky Way like a ribbon.

Meng Haisheng looked at the night sky in a daze. He couldn't remember the last time he looked up at the starry sky.

It seemed that since Lin Mucheng and Momo were gone, his heart was closed. Naturally, such a beautiful thing as the starry sky no longer belonged to him.

Momo slowly fell asleep with Lin Mucheng's gentle voice.

The summer night breeze blew away a bit of the heat, and Momo slept more peacefully.

While Meng Haisheng was fanning Momo, he talked to Lin Mucheng about raising rabbits.

"Digging and selling bupleurum is not a long-term plan, and the mountains freeze after winter, and bupleurum cannot be dug for several months in winter."

"I think raising rabbits is a good job. I will go to Yuqing Village tomorrow to see if I can buy Angora rabbits."

Lin Mucheng drove away the mosquitoes around Momo and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Angora rabbits have only been introduced to China for a few years. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find them."

In 1978, the German Angora rabbits were introduced to China. At that time, they were so precious that it was hard to find one.

Lin Mucheng loves to listen to the radio. More than once, he heard people buying Angora rabbits at a high price on the radio.

"We have to try. If we can't find any, we can raise meat rabbits. They are 60 cents per pound and can be sold in 3-4 months. This is also profitable."

"Well, since you have made up your mind to raise rabbits, I will naturally support you very much."

Lin Mucheng is a city girl after all, and she has some knowledge.

Since she came to the countryside, she knew that if the villagers wanted to get rid of poverty, they could either grow cash crops or move out of the mountains.

As long as they rely on growing food, they will still be poor in ten or twenty years.

Now Meng Haisheng proposed to raise rabbits, and Lin Mucheng agreed 100%.

She believed that as long as the couple worked together, their small family would definitely get better and better.

Whether it was raising long-haired rabbits or meat rabbits, they needed a lot of space, and their yard was not big.

Meng Haisheng thought, why not convert the two side rooms into rabbit houses.
