Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Shen Wufu's daughter-in-law Xiuyue thought for a while, "Usually they summon each other. This year, you can get some important points from whichever family you want. Next year, you can give them back some more, but there are not many."

"Aunt Wu, what should I do?"

"I'll make it up for you, plant as many as you can."

Chen Miao smiled, "Fifth Aunt, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, you are just living a life, and you will be fine in the future."

When Chen Miao got home, he started digging the soil, because the foundation was dug when the wall was built, and the soil was quite convenient.Three long boxes were placed on the top of the kang, two of which contained cotton seedlings, and the remaining one contained pumpkins and several winter melons.There are dried chili peppers in the storeroom, and some seeds can be grown when they are taken out.I just don't know if it will germinate.

Cut some branches.Then put it in the box.It is equivalent to getting a beam.There are quite a few thick plastic sheets in the warehouse.Cover every box.Then old quilts and mattresses are covered on top.

At home, Chen Jiang came alone.He doesn't come into the house.Even entering the house is covered with a quilt, so it should not be discovered.

I did this all morning, and peeled pine nuts in the afternoon.Going to the county seat tomorrow morning, this time I don't drive, the goal is too big.

When it was getting dark, Chen Jiang brought over two small benches.

"You did this?"

"Yes. Third sister, my mother will let me work at home tomorrow."

"Work hard, if you come here hungry, I will have enough food."

It was still dark at five o'clock the next day, so Chen Miao fed the little donkey and hurried out of the house with a basket on his back.

I already thought about it yesterday. If the pine nuts can’t be sold for much, I will find a way to sell some things in the warehouse. In fact, I dare not sell meat, and it won’t spoil in the freezer, but there should be people buying snacks and sugar.

Arrived at the county seat at seven o'clock, and went in with the crowd for inspection.

Most of the people from outside the city who came here at this time came to sell things.Chen Miao followed them to the market.

I looked around for a place where I didn't have my own, and there were few things, so I found a corner.Her pine nuts are all shelled.There are also some fungus, not too many.

There are already people in the market to buy vegetables.Next to Chen Miao was a middle-aged man. The food he sold was more than ten catties of soybeans. It was a good thing to see that the grains were plump.

After nearly an hour, a middle-aged man in a coat and a melon cap came over, looking at the pine nuts very satisfied.

"Sir, do you want pine nuts? I peeled them myself."

"It's okay. How do you sell pine nuts?"

"Sir, I don't know. You look like an upright person. Give it to me. I still have fungus here. If you soak it, it will definitely be thick."

"Okay, it's not much, I'll give you one yuan for these two things."

Chen Miao didn't know how much, but he thought it would be enough to buy a lock.There are two catties of pine nuts, half a catty of fungus, and one yuan is only one yuan.

After the sale, there is no market to stay, afraid that I can't help but spend the money.

I hurried to the grocery store.Bought a door hanger and a lock.It cost a hundred copper coins.

In the end, I bought green onion seeds, leek seeds, eggplant seeds, beans, and cabbage here, and the shopkeeper gave away more than ten pumpkin seeds.

Seeds are still quite expensive in this era, mainly because there is not enough to eat, and there is no pesticide, so there are so many bugs, and sometimes it is impossible to wait for seeds to form.

Then I went to the blacksmith's shop to buy a saw, and now I only had ten copper plates left in my hand.

I have already asked the owner of the blacksmith shop where the post office is.He hesitated at the door for a while, but still gritted his teeth and went in.Although I dare not ask anyone to ask, I can read newspapers.

When her image came in, no one cared about her.There was a newspaper beside her, but she didn't dare to pick it up, so she just looked at it.

My heart was overwhelmed.Four or three years, this is March 32, the 23nd year of the Republic of China.

In fact, the last time I came to the county, I already knew that it should be before liberation.After all, there are Er Gouzi guarding the city gate tower, but it is not sure which year it is.

Still have to hold on for a few more years.It is better to live a good life in the countryside or less to come to the county town.

Knowing the time and age, I still hurriedly left.I'm really scared, life is just mediocrity, so there's nothing wrong with living like this, right?

It was only after leaving the city that he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could live without money and food.

When I got home, I was relieved to see that the knot on the door was still tied by myself.

When she was feeding the little donkey, she heard a knock on the door. It turned out to be Chen Jiang.

"Third sister, what did you do?"

"I went to the county seat, sold the pine nuts, and bought two locks and a saw."

"Third sister, can pine nuts be sold for money?"

"Yes. What do you do at home?"

"Turn over the vegetable patch, it's all done today."

"Then I'll take you to pick up pine cones, and save up to sell for money, and you keep it for yourself."

"Third sister, where can I stay?"

"No, just let me go. Don't worry, I absolutely don't want it."

Chen Jiang smiled, "Okay. I'll come to you tomorrow before dawn."

Chen Jiang wanted to leave, but Chen Miao stayed behind. "Go and dig the vegetable bed for me." She wanted to leave her brother to eat at home.If I went to the county alone, I could take out some food and give it to my brother who is good to me.

I took out some shrimp skins and put them in pancakes, it was absolutely delicious.

By the time she asked Chen Jiang to eat, the child had turned over five vegetable beds.

"Okay, come in and eat quickly."

"Third sister, what did you let go?"

"People say it's dried shrimp from the sea. It's dry. Tell me it's especially delicious when put in pancakes. Anyway, it smells good. Don't ask, eat it quickly."

"Third sister, why did you do so much?"

"Take the rest to the mountain to eat tomorrow. By the way, do you know how to buy chickens?"

"There will be peddlers who come to the village with baskets to sell, but I heard from my mother that they don't like to live.

Liangzi's chick is about to hatch, so I'll ask you about it. "

Chen Jiang ate two pieces of pancakes, drank two bowls of porridge, and went back satisfied. He would definitely not wake up hungry at night.

Thinking that the third sister wanted to buy chickens, and would go up the mountain tomorrow, she went to several shops at night to ask, and finally gave six chickens, one chicken and one copper coin, but he didn’t know if the third sister had any, so he still I'm really worried.

I didn't eat when I got home.Everyone knew that he must go to Chen Miao's house for dinner, and of course they were willing to have one less person to eat at home.

Chen Jiang secretly dug out the five copper coins he had saved and gave them to Third Sister tomorrow, otherwise he couldn't afford chickens.If it's too short, I owe it first.

"Fourth brother. What did you eat at the third sister's house?"

"I turned the vegetable bed for the third sister, and what I ate was sorghum rice porridge."

"Fourth brother, I will also work for third sister tomorrow."

"Third sister will go to the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow, you better not go, you won't be able to carry it on your back, and go next year."

"All right. I'll go with you next year. My sister-in-law ate your food tonight, and she won't give you food if she says you work for others."
