For the sake of the child in her belly, Li Dafeng knew that she should not run home anymore, but how could she let go of the situation at home and really ignore it now?
Li Dafeng knows how lively her nephews are usually, but now they are all weakly leaning on the adult's arms.

With a confused expression on her face, she suddenly pulled Ning Lao San aside, "Changgui, do you think I can let my mother and the others scrape some saltpeter and exchange mother for taro?"

Ning Laosan showed a look of embarrassment, "I, I don't know, it's my mother and the villagers who are helping us and the villagers in the taro exchange. Your mother and the others..."

Li Dafeng also knew it, but seeing the skinny family that could collapse in a single blow, he gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I'll let them shave some first, and then we'll ask Mother after we get back. If Mother doesn't want to, forget it." .”

Big deal, think of a way...

As for how to do it, she doesn't know.But you can't ignore the life and death of your parents and family. She is the only girl in the family. Whether it is before or after marriage, her parents and brothers love her very much. At the beginning, she was coaxed by Ning Lao San to take the family's food. When she went to her husband's house, her parents and brothers must have known about it, but no one said anything about her.

Instead, her mother secretly gave her money several times.

Third Ning saw his brother-in-law who was strong enough to kill a cow with a single punch, and his eyes were sunken, but he still couldn't be hard-hearted, so he agreed to Li Dafeng's idea.

After Li Dafeng told the Li family about the saltpeter, brother Li showed joy on his face, and hurried to the corner of the backyard to pick up a small stone and then ran to the room, "Sister! See if this is also the saltpeter you mentioned ?”

There is a lot of this thing in the back of their house. They found it when they went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and cut firewood these days. Looking at it, they thought it was salt at first, so they brought some back, and then piled it in the backyard because it was useless. Beside the firewood.

If you can really get taro, then this day can be regarded as going on.

But according to the younger sister, I don't know if Aunt Wang is willing to change it for them.

Li Dafeng and Ning Laosan took the stone and turned it over and over again. Ning Laosan squatted down, found another stone, and smashed a corner of this saltpeter-like thing. After smashing into powder, Ning Laosan confirmed that this is theirs. The saltpeter scraped off the wall of the latrine, just don't know why it's one by one.

Third Ning stood up and asked the question in his heart.

"There are quite a few of these things in the back of our village. It's a kind of stone. If Aunt Wang needs it, you can take it back. If you can't exchange it for taro, forget it."

Wang Xiujuan didn't expect that her three daughters-in-law would bring her such a big surprise when they went back to their natal home!
Ning Qingxi held the stone with a happy face, it was indeed saltpeter!Unexpectedly, they had searched for the saltpetre in the mountains for so long, but now they found it!
It's really another village.

Seeing the two of them very happy, Li Dafeng said while the iron was hot: "Mother, do you think these stones from my mother's house can be exchanged for taro?"

Wang Xiujuan smiled and said: "Yes, why not? You ask them to carry the stone back, but they are piece by piece, not like powder, so they can only exchange half of the amount of powder."

There are a lot of impurities on the saltpeter, so if you want to crush it for screening, there will be a lot of loss, plus this labor, so the price is definitely not the same as the powder.

Ning Qingxi didn't know how much saltpeter there was in Li Dafeng's house, so he pulled Wang Xiujuan aside and whispered, "Grandma, I don't know how much saltpeter there is in Third Aunt's house. It’s not enough to change. Otherwise, should we fix a fixed number?”

Wang Xiujuan made sense when she heard it, estimated the food in the cellar, and led Ning Qingxi back, while Li Dafeng was still waiting anxiously.

"There are plenty of taro, and at most two hundred catties can be exchanged. Tell them to bring the saltpeter quickly."

When Li Dafeng heard this, he was overjoyed, and nodded quickly, "Okay! Mama, don't worry, I'll go now."

After hearing this, Ning Lao San anxiously grabbed the hand of his silly daughter-in-law, will it be dark again and again? "You're still pregnant, so I'll be the one to go."

After the two came back, they were busy with the taro business, but they hadn't told Wang Xiujuan about Li Dafeng's pregnancy yet.

"What? The third family has it?"

Li Dafeng looked embarrassed, and shyly said: "Well, I've been feeling sick for the past two days, and I don't know what it is, I only knew after my mother told me."

"Okay. It's a good thing. If you're pregnant, don't run around."

After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she ordered Ning Laosan:

"Third, you can go to your Yue's house tomorrow and talk. Take care of your daughter-in-law at home on weekdays."

Ning Changrong rushed home after distributing the things that each family in the village needed to help buy.

After eating, I heard Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan talking about the matter that the saltpeter had been resolved.

Then he shared the situation in the county with his grandparents and grandchildren.

Ning Qingxi said happily: "Our family is blessed with three blessings today! The sales of cabbage is not worrying for the time being, the saltpeter is also settled, and the third aunt is pregnant."

"Isn't that right? I found this saltpeter, and finally let a stone fall from my heart. No, I have to go and see it with my third son tomorrow. Girl, didn't you say that saltpeter can make ice? If so, we will have another income in the summer."

Ning Qingxi said: "That's right! We can sell popsicles! Sell fruit crushed ice!"

Ning Changrong added: "You can also directly sell a few pieces of ice to restaurants in those cities and counties. If there are too many, it will make people suspicious. It is still okay to sell a few pieces. The ice in summer is worth a lot of money."

They are just a farmer in the countryside, selling a few large pieces of ice, and it can be said that they are stored in the cellar in winter. If there are ice cubes for sale all the time, some people will definitely doubt it.

When the ice cubes are sold out, popsicles or fruit crushed ice are sold. Who knows how many are sold in a day?

The next day Ning Changrong went to his Yue's house with Ning Laosan early in the morning. When the Li family heard that these useless stones could really be exchanged for sweet and soft taro, they were immediately elated. For Ning Changrong and Ning Laosan The two thanked for a while, and Li's father and Li's mother repeatedly lamented that they did not choose the wrong family for their daughter.

The Ning family is truly benevolent and righteous.

Under the leadership of Brother Li, Ning Changrong went to the back mountain of their village and saw a large area of ​​saltpeter mines. What he saw was not saltpeter mines, but money and gunpowder!

On the same day, he dragged a box of saltpeter and returned home happily.

Brother Li and his family dug more than half of it, and Ning Changrong dug the rest with Ning Laosan.

Two brothers, Brother Li and Brother Li, went back together. The family was waiting for these yams to be put into the pot. They came to exchange yams.

After Wang Xiujuan weighed the saltpeter, she gave the taro to the two of them, and also gave them a pancake for each of them to eat on the road.

After the two brothers of the Li family got the taro and pancakes, they were so excited that they didn't know how to express their gratitude.

These grains are now the lives of their families.

I thanked Wang Xiujuan's family a thousand times, and said goodbye to my sister before leaving in a hurry with taro.
