Chapter 20. 20. Astute
After hearing Second Uncle Ning's words, the other aunts also felt that what the six daughters-in-law said was outrageous.His daughter just died, so what she meant was cursing his niece.That child is only so old, and his mother is dead, and this woman's heart is too dark.

"From Zhang Liu's family, I think you should accumulate some virtue."

"Hi! What are you talking about? Am I wrong? If it wasn't for the old woman not keeping the door open, would her daughter be like this? I'm not doing it for her own good, I'm afraid the little baby will be implicated too."

"Listen, what are you talking about! If I were the second aunt of the Ning family, I would chase you away!"

"Let's go! I said I shouldn't call her, look! It's a bad thing!"

"that is!"

Seeing a few people leaving her behind, Zhang Liu's family was full of anger.

"Hey! Why are you people like this! Where did I say something wrong! Why are you so ignorant!!"

Ning Hongfu had already closed the gate of the courtyard, keeping the group of women out of the gate.He turned around and ran to the main room, afraid that those who didn't lock the door would make his wife angry.

When I got back to the main room, I saw my good granddaughter asking softly along her wife's chest.

"Grandma, what do you want to eat, Qiu will make it for you."

Zhu Ximei's face was not very good, but a smile appeared on her face when she heard this. "You girl, you are not as tall as a stove, what can you do for me?"

"I've learned a lot, but I heard from my grandfather that grandma can't eat spicy food in the future, nor can she eat anything that is too salty."

"Hey, you can't eat this, you can't eat that..."

"Of course, grandma is sick, those who can no longer eat, or grandpa will be worried. By the way, grandma didn't eat the Liangpi yesterday, so I will make it again today for grandma to try. There is no spicy food in it, so I will give grandma Make it light and delicious."

"Okay."

Ning Qiu tried to divert the old lady's attention, "Grandma, please help me!"

As he spoke, he dragged Zhu Ximei to the kitchen, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Ning Hongfu standing at the door.

"grandfather."

"Hey, take your grandma to cook, I'll feed the pigs, and the backyard has to be cleaned up."

"it is good."

With Zhu Ximei's help, Ning Qiu made ten more Liangpi, enough for the whole family.

Seeing the beans that Ning Hongfu picked from the backyard, she picked and cleaned them, and put them in a large pot to cook.After that, let Ning Hongfu chop it up and eat it with Liangpi for a while.

"Grandpa, what else did our family grow?"

"There are a lot of things to grow. Our family has few strong laborers. Your uncle is alone, and I can only be regarded as half a strong laborer. Our family has [-] acres of land, ten acres of which are planted with corn, and the rest are wheat, soybeans, Peanuts, sweet potatoes."

"So much?"

Zhu Ximei added with a smile, "Not only these, but also in our backyard. There is also a pig, a dozen sheep, and a dozen chickens."

"Wow, so many delicious things."

Seeing the child's innocent appearance, the old couple laughed.

"Then our family is rich, isn't it?"

The smile on Ning Hongfu's face faded, "Hey, we depend on the sky. If the harvest is good, there will be more than 100 in a year, and the family has to spend it..."

"Old man! Why are you talking to the child!?"

After being scolded by his wife, Ning Hongfu finally came to his senses, he looked at his wife and laughed.

"Hehe... I'll go to the field to have a look."

Looking at the back of his grandfather leaving, Ning Qiu thought.

Thirty mu of land has been planted, and the family has raised a lot of livestock, which is only [-] mu this year.According to Grandpa's tone, this is still a good harvest, and if it is not good, it has to be discounted.

There are four adults and four children in the family to support. I really don’t know how the grandfather’s family saved more than 100 yuan and went to Haishi to visit their mother.

Now my body is only five years old, and I can't do many things, and it's not suitable for me to do them.But this didn't stop her from thinking with her head, she had to find a way to make her grandpa's life more comfortable.

It is now [-], and the rural areas have implemented the policy of distributing land to households. Except for the grain handed over to the state, the purchase of seeds and fertilizers are eliminated, and the rest is the net income of farmers.

Now all the family grows are food, and there are almost no cash crops.

However, the income from planting cash crops is relatively slow, and it will take at least a few years to see profits, and a considerable investment is required before that.And if you change to other crops, you have to learn planting skills again, and the most important thing is to pray for God's help.

Thinking about it this way, at least at this stage, this road is not easy to walk.

Thinking of the days when he worked in foreign Chinese restaurants, Ning Qiu thought that maybe he could start with food.Combining the crops grown at home, make some food and sell it.

Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Zhu Ximei went to open the door, and standing at the door was Zhang Guoqiang's daughter-in-law, Xu Meiying.

"Yo, Miying, why are you here?"

Xu Meiying was a little embarrassed, "Second Aunt, I'll come to see you. By the way, Dad asked me to send this."

Ning Qiu glanced into the basket, it was a basket of persimmons.

"There are a lot of knots on the two trees in my house. Dad is afraid that they will be damaged, so let me send some."

"The village head is too polite, come in and sit down."

After inviting the person into the main room, Xu Meiying hesitated to tell the truth about her visit.

"Uh...Second Aunt, my Jia Guoqiang said yesterday that I ate the Liangpi at your house."

At that time, Zhu Ximei was still in the hospital and didn't know about it, so she looked sideways at Ning Qiu beside her.

"Yes, grandma. Uncle likes the sauce I mixed."

The old lady also understood at this time, she was still surprised, this Xu Meiying is a master of no profit, why would she bring things to see her for no reason?
"Oh, so you came here for...?"

Xu Meiying smiled sheepishly, "I...I want to learn from that cold noodle. Guoqiang said it was delicious, so I want to make it for him later."

The old lady drooped her eyelids and paused before speaking. "I'm not going to hide it from you, this craftsmanship belongs to Qiu'er. We are also from the same village. If you make your own food, of course I will let Qiu'er teach you. But..."

When the old lady changed the subject, the smile on Xu Meiying's face froze. "But if you learn it and sell it, then I have to charge you for tuition."

Ning Qiu raised her eyebrows, this old lady can do it, she can turn her head fast enough.At this moment, he can think of the key to the problem, so he is shrewd and not at a disadvantage.

The smile on Xu Meiying's face couldn't hold back, "Look at what you said, I... I think I made it for my family."

"Okay, since you've said that, I should believe you too. Qiu, let me teach you Aunt Meiying."

"Okay, grandma."

Liangpi is not a rare commodity, and the production process is simple. After decades, you can easily find the production method on the Internet.

Ning Qiu doesn't expect to make money from Liangpi either, Qin Province's specialty is Liangpi, and there are many people who know how to make it.Even if this Xu Meiying wanted to use Liangpi to make money, honestly Ning Qiu didn't mind.

Liangpi is something that can be eaten in summer.Even if you eat it, eat it three or four days a month to change the taste. No one will eat Liangpi three times a day.
