Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Chen Miao knew that he would definitely not take him with him, it was fine, he said that he would leave in a month, and it would be more convenient to go by himself when the time came.

Shen Jianfeng drank the hot water, and the remaining boiling water scalded the cornmeal. "You can post the pancakes yourself later, I'm leaving."

Chen Miao was the only one left at home, and now she relaxed and sat in front of the stove. She was sweating from a trot just now, and her back felt like ice on her back in just a short while, it was really too cold.

A bag of pure milk appeared in his hand, and it was not cold, so he drank it directly. Why does ordinary milk taste so fragrant?It tastes like the first time I drank milk when I was a child.

Only then did I feel a lot more comfortable. Although the house was quite dilapidated, it was well tidied up.There is nothing to clean up. The temperature is still quite low now. There is nothing to do. I lie on the kang and tidy up my mood.

After the man left, I was at ease, but it was inconvenient to live here with a girl.But the houses I have seen have no courtyard walls at all, so I can't be too obtrusive.

I don't know when the man will come back. I lie down for a while and feel itchy all over. I still go to light the fire. It should be almost noon. When I go to the county, I must find a place with time and adjust my watch.It's such a pain not to have time.

I boiled a large pot of hot water, took out two basins, one large and one small, and chose a lot of shampoos, but they were all too fragrant.This is absolutely not possible. Touching greasy hair, you can only use dish soap.

It took an entire hour of washing before finally washing it clean. I really didn't have the courage to wear such a suit of clothes.Or find out and put on a warm suit.But the clothes I brought couldn't be seen by anyone, so I had no choice but to search the closet, and there were no clothes in it, which was embarrassing.

Gritting her teeth, she still washed her underwear and coat.

It took about three hours to tinker.I tidied up myself, and the laundry was not dry yet, but it should be fine at night.

I was hungry, so I took out steamed buns, ham sausage and milk, and had a delicious meal.

After I was full, I saw that the time was about the same, so I put on a cotton coat to cook. This cotton coat is also very hard and can no longer keep warm.

Farm food is not a problem for a child who grew up in the countryside.

Put a rice sieve in the pot, then find out the pickles, cut off a small piece and mix it in the cornmeal.

After waiting for half an hour, I smelled the aroma of rice, and then stopped.

There is really nothing at home.After thinking about it, I put on a turban and went out. Although the wild vegetables in the yard are too small, they are also tender.I dug it from the yard to the outside, which is a lot, but this is not bad, at least there are vegetables to eat.

Wash it and put it aside, there is still a primer in the stove, so I am not afraid that the corn tortillas will get burnt.

It was almost dark outside, and I didn't know when the man would come back.

Besides, Shen Jianfeng ran all the way, and when he arrived at the county town, he went straight to the animal market.

In fact, what the daughter-in-law said was right, as long as she lives at home by herself, she really needs a little donkey.The other animals are big, and I'm afraid she won't be able to handle them.At noon, there were not many people in the livestock market, but there were still some.There is no way to choose animals, but to find an old man.

"Master, I want to buy a little donkey."

"Do you want the ones you can use right now or the small ones?"

"It will be available in spring. I need a donkey cart."

"Then you go home with me to pick." The livestock dealer's home is in the county seat.

Shen Jianfeng didn't understand, "Young man, I won't fool you at my age. This little donkey is only a year and a half old. To be honest, this work is definitely not as strong as cows, mules and horses."

"Master, my daughter-in-law uses it, and the little donkey is suitable."

The old man didn't say anything either.It is equipped with a donkey cart, so you can try it.

"Master, I'll give you two yuan for the baffle of the donkey cart. Otherwise, there's no way to pull Qiu."

In the end, I spent six yuan here, and drove to the blacksmith's shop to match the little donkey with a set, as well as a scorpion, and bought a sickle, hatchet, and scissors.When I saw a dagger that looked pretty good, I bought it, and the daughter-in-law prepared all the living utensils for herself.

Shen Jianfeng smiled bitterly and really couldn't help spending the 30 yuan he brought back.

When I arrived at the grain and oil store, I cruelly bought two catties of soybean oil, and fifty catties of corn kernels, and even picked out some of them as seeds.

I also bought fifty catties of sorghum rice.The wheat looks good, so I bought ten catties.I really don't have much money in my hand, so I have to leave some for her.

I drove to the cloth shop and bought the cheapest coarse cloth.A piece of thick ginger cloth was brought, and the daughter-in-law didn't bring anything when she married, thinking that it should be old clothes for younger siblings.

I went to the grocery store to buy salt and lamp oil, which are indispensable things.

Now I really can't buy any more, so I should drive home quickly.

Here Chen Miao took the pancakes out of the pan, but they still put them on the rice sieve. I don't know when the man will come back.When it's cold, turn on the fire.

"Shen Jianfeng, is Shen Jianfeng at home?"

Chen Miao heard someone calling outside, thinking that people in the village still call men by their names?
He hurriedly put on his headscarf and went out, only to see two men outside.

It didn't look like a bad guy, "Shen Jianfeng is not at home, he went to the county seat, but he should be back soon."

"Sister-in-law, right? We are Shen Jianfeng's comrades-in-arms, and we will return to the team immediately after receiving the notice."

Chen Miao was still a little excited when she heard it.Got to go?That's fine.With no one by my side, it's good to give myself time to adapt, otherwise I have to find a way to get away from him.

"Then why hasn't he come back, or you come in and wait?"

The two knew that Shen Jianfeng had come back to get married, and he had no other relatives in his family.With only one little daughter-in-law at home, it's hard to tell if two men go in.

"Sister-in-law, let's wait outside."

Chen Miao recalled that in this era, the relationship between men and women is still quite strict.

"also."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he entered the room, thinking that the man was about to leave, so he forced himself, and the rest of his behavior was okay.Then you can't let him leave hungry.

After entering the house, I quickly changed into clean clothes, and went out to light the fire. There were not enough pancakes in the pot.

Scoop out the remaining cornmeal and boil water for noodle soup.The diced pickles are also put into the cornmeal and pasted with pancakes.

The pot was full, and I didn't use a rice sieve this time, so I cooked it slowly on a low fire to save it from getting burnt.

The pancakes were cooked again, but Shen Jianfeng still didn't come back. The two people outside wanted to leave to look for him in the county, and they would definitely meet him on the way.

"Double Happiness, let's wait. I must have gone to the county to buy something for my daughter-in-law. I still have to come back when the time comes."

Knowing that the pancakes were cooked, Chen Miao hurriedly took them out to wash the pot and boil water, but since she was unable to make soup, it was still possible to drink hot water.

Just after the water boiled, she heard the movement outside, and she hurried out.
