Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 122 Retribution, both sides are cleared
The cooked lard will turn into a white solid when it cools down. While Luo Lan and the others were boiling the lard, Accountant Zhao made a few bowls to put the lard in. After filling the bowls, they put them in a basin with cold water. It will turn into a white solid and you won't be afraid of spreading it when you take it away.

Er Gouzi's wife, after helping to boil the lard, took away two bowls of lard residue. One bowl was for her cousin Er Gouzi's friend Laizi.

The rest were taken to Luo Cheng's side by sisters Luo Lan and Luo Yan. There were not many things, but lard was expensive. Luo Lan was afraid that Luo Yan would take the jar of lard and the plate of lard residue and accidentally knock it over on the way.

But when we come to Luo Cheng's side, Luo Yan doesn't have to take the lard residue back at night. Dad comes to Luo Cheng's side. I got ten turtles for Luo Cheng, just in time for my father to take a plate back.

The father greeted his eldest daughter Luo Lan and prepared to take Luo Yan back. But how could Luo Yan be willing to leave with her father? She would have to eat steamed buns and pig head meat at Luo Cheng later. Went to the canteen to eat. It rained today and many people didn't go to the fields to start working. Those who didn't work couldn't even get a piece of cornbread in the canteen.

In the end, Luo Cheng's father said that she was ignorant and that no matter how bad the food in the cafeteria was, it would still be in vain for them. Luo Cheng has steamed buns here, so he can take them back and eat them from the cafeteria as well as steamed buns.

So Luo Yan was taken away by her father, along with the lard residue and Luo Yan's steamed buns. I don't know how many of the steamed buns were left in Luo Yan's belly, maybe only half of them.

My sister Luo Lan has also left, but she will come here later. She had to go back to see how many eels her husband and father-in-law had caught so that they could be brought over.

The rain outside the house has stopped a long time ago. This small amount of rainfall can at best give the fields a breather, unless it rains again later. There are many places where we have to carry water for farming.

At least it can get some rain in the south, but I don’t know what the situation will be like in the north. According to what was checked on mobile phones in the future, people fleeing famine will appear in many cities in the south next year.

Generally, those who flee from famine will have to confiscate their income for at least two or three seasons. The north is different from the south. Wheat is grown over there. Many crops are grown for one season. After harvesting in July and August, other crops are planted, mainly corn. Peanuts, cotton, soybeans, and sweet potatoes are all grown, but if the wheat harvest is not good, they will basically only plant corn and sweet potatoes, which have high yields.

In other words, harvests in many places will start to fail at this time this year, and the drought will continue. Corn and other grains planted after July and August will not be harvested. Only in this way, next spring, there will still be drought and wheat will not be grown. The food reserves have been used up and the fields are deserted. This is called fleeing.

Regarding the situation that will come next year, Luo Cheng can actually only keep a low profile. Now I can still go back and forth between the machine factory and the town commune. When the time comes, if I still bring out meat and various kinds of food at every turn, I'm afraid I will be suspicious.

When it was getting dark, Ergouzi came with another bucket of eels. There was a lot of mud on his body, not to mention his pants and legs. I didn’t even wear any shoes, so it’s okay to go barefoot.
Luo Lan also came almost from the front and back. He didn't catch the loaches but he still brought the wooden bucket and the bamboo basket. He caught so many eels that the bamboo basket alone couldn't fit them in.

The number of loaches caught today was more than double that of yesterday, but Luo Cheng bought an extra large wooden basin in the afternoon, which was easy to store.

Things were put away and we should have eaten. But look at Luo Lan's trousers, and Er Gouzi looks like he's covered in mud. The road between the villages is like this. When it rains, it becomes muddy. If it gets dark later, the road will be slippery and difficult to walk on.

Don't eat at Luo Cheng's place, put a few steamed buns in a bowl, share some pork head, and let them go home to eat. However, if it is given like this, Luo Cheng would have been willing to eat it here. If he takes it home, he will basically share it with his family.

Luo Cheng ate briefly at home and then lay down. The temperature dropped a bit due to the rain, but it was still hot. There are more mosquitoes in the room, so you need to use a mosquito killer. But you don’t need to close the door to use it. The smoke dissipates slowly when the door is closed. It’s better to just put one in to drive away the mosquitoes.

After putting out the mosquito killer, Luo Cheng was really ready to sleep.

There were twice as many eels as yesterday, but the number of loaches was about the same. The eldest sister caught more small loaches, and the swallows caught less big ones.

There are also ten turtles that Dad caught today. I am afraid that these turtles will be easy to catch even if it rains today, so the ten turtles that Luo Cheng asked for yesterday were caught today. They are not small, some weigh more than three pounds.

~~
Maybe because I gained the ability to travel to the future era, the side effect is that I don’t have dreams when I sleep at night. The feeling of waking up in different times is like closing your eyes and then opening them again after falling asleep. The alarm was set for two o'clock. In fact, if Luo Cheng could return to his own time instead of being woken up by the alarm, he would know that the time of this shuttle should still be before two o'clock. If it is later, when he is not traveling, he should be woken up by the alarm.

Still deliberately making some noise like opening the door in the living room and placing everything in the living room. At two o'clock, after Luo Cheng finished doing this, he felt sleepy.

After going back to the room and turning off the air conditioner, Luo Cheng entered Liu Xiaofei's room. At this time, Luo Cheng didn't want to do anything to Liu Xiaofei, he just felt comfortable sleeping with her in his arms.

The air conditioning temperature of Liu Xiaofei was set really low when she slept, so she could only crawl under her quilt. After getting in, she hugged her, and Luo Cheng fell asleep soon after.

When Luo Cheng woke up again, he found that Liu Xiaofei was almost pressed against him, his legs were hooked by her slender legs, his arms were also held, and half of his body was pressed against him.

The temperature of the air conditioner is low. It is very comfortable for the two of them to sleep next to each other like this, but now is not the time to be comfortable. We agreed to go to the old street selling eels and loaches today, but some older people spent the morning shopping for groceries. You have to go there as early as possible to sell this.

"Xiao Fei, wake up, I'm going to sell loaches and eels."

"Luo Cheng, when did you climb into my bed yesterday? You scared me very late. You're so sleepy. You should sleep a little longer. I want a hug."

Liu Xiaofei was talking with her eyes almost closed. Yesterday, she promised to go to sell loach and eel together. It was already six o'clock, and she was still confused and wanted to hug her.

"Get up and go make money. If you make money, I will marry you."

"Make money~~, yes, I want to make money."

When Liu Xiaofei heard about making money, she finally came to her senses. Even though he was very sleepy, he forced himself to sit up. She sat still for more than a minute. The thoughts between lying down and getting up were considered a battle for more than a minute. She chose~~
"Luo Cheng, hold me up for a moment."

Seeing Liu Xiaofei like this, Luo Cheng suddenly remembered a funny comment he made while watching the video. At this time, he really wanted to say, 'I have been doing evil for decades, and finding such a cowardly girlfriend is retribution, and all my past sins have been wiped out. ’

He picked up Liu Xiaofei and urged her to hurry up.

Liu Xiaofei also knew that he had to get up early to sell loaches and eels in the old street, so he only had to stop doing the inking just now. He immediately took off his pajamas and put on underwear and clothes in front of Luo Cheng, without any hesitation.

I simply wash my face, brush my teeth, and do my hair properly in front of the mirror. I don’t have to go out and put on makeup for half a day like some other women.

There are two large pots of eels in the living room, and the loaches are packed in plastic buckets. There is no need to change the wooden basin to a plastic one. In fact, the wooden basin is a bit heavier, but it is more solid than the plastic one and can hold more.

Liu Xiaofei was frightened when she saw several large eels in the basin, and then remembered the incident in a certain video. These large eels must be more than one meter long, and they can kill people.
