"I have already asked your eldest brother to buy some. Our pickled vegetables at the restaurant are quite popular. We plan to pickle more this year." Qiao Xiufen was happy as she looked at the pickled vegetable jar that was already piled up against the wall.

What could be more exciting for farmers than storing grain?

"Pick more, pickle more, there are quite a lot of dishes you can make with these pickles." Li Anan still agreed.

There are so many things you can do with pickles. They can be eaten directly, stir-fried, mixed, and some can be stewed.

Each different way to eat it is delicious and has a different flavor.

For example, the mustard greens pickled last year are delicious when used to stew tofu.

Unfortunately, they have all been eaten, and if I want to eat them again, I have to wait until this year's pickles are ready.

"You little greedy cat, I think you want to eat it." Qiao Xiufen knew how much her daughter loved to eat.

"Hey, hey, mother, please don't expose me." Li Anan didn't leave, just sat in the kitchen and watched Qiao Xiufen cooking.

"You are just sitting here, the smoke is really big, go out and play." Qiao Xiufen started to chase people away.

"I want to stay with my mother." Li Anan didn't plan to go out. She didn't like running around the village very much.

"Then just stay." Qiao Xiufen was quite happy when she heard this. Sure enough, her love for her little girl was not in vain.

"Mom, I think it's time for our family to buy a cow. We will be very busy soon."

"I have discussed this matter with your father. We will buy a cow to plow the land, and buy three piglets for Sanlang and the others to feed when they are at home." Qiao Xiufen did not expect that her little girl was still thinking about this matter. .

"Really! That's great!" Li Anan didn't expect that he wouldn't have to convince his parents.

She had prepared a lot of reasons to persuade her parents to agree to buy the cow.

I didn't expect to buy not only cattle but also pigs. It was an unexpected surprise.

"Our family is getting better and better now. We will buy what we need to buy. There is nothing we can do if we are too busy. We can't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds. Don't worry, my dear, my mother will definitely save a lot of money for you. dowry."

Qiao Xiufen said this quietly.

She had already started secretly saving money for her little daughter. It used to be her own money.

Li An'an didn't expect her mother to think so long-term and start thinking about her dowry money now.

"Mom, I don't want to get married. From now on, you and your father will live with me." Li Anan really had never considered getting married.

What's so good about getting married?

Even now, when you get married, you just go to someone else's house and work as a free nanny.

And she was not far behind. She often heard about her husband cheating on her, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law having conflicts.

Otherwise, she would never have thought about getting married for so many years since she was single in modern times.

Now that she's in ancient times, she doesn't even want to get married.

She is so blessed at home. The younger ones are older than the younger ones, and all her nephews are at her disposal.

There are so many nephews, and there will be more in the future. As long as she has money, there will definitely be someone willing to take care of her when she is old.

Now this was in ancient times, and if you got married, your life might be even harder than in modern times.

Ancient reconciliation was much more troublesome than modern divorce.

How could she think so hard that she would want to go to other people's homes to serve others?

"Oh my dear, you can't do it without getting married. You want to be an old girl at home." When Qiao Xiufen heard her little girl's words, she thought they were childish.

In fact, Li Anan was serious, she really had never considered getting married.

Although she has not yet learned about the Daqing Dynasty's policy on female households, judging from everything she has come into contact with so far, the culture of the Daqing Dynasty is still good.

At least in Fangji Town, it is normal for women to set up stalls and do business.

She had also heard of women who returned home after leaving. I guess not getting married shouldn't be a big deal.

"An old girl will be an old girl. I have so many nephews. As long as I pay, there will always be someone willing to support me." Li Anan tilted his head and looked at Qiao Xiufen innocently.

Qiao Xiufen, who was adding firewood to the fire, paused and thought about what her little girl said.

It doesn’t seem to be the case. No?

She now has six grandchildren, and her sons are all still young. There will definitely be more, and there will always be someone willing to support her little girl.

She also felt her heart aching when she thought of her little girl growing up and working as a cow or horse in other people's homes.

If it's true that the little girl said she doesn't want to get married and she has money, then it seems like she can really do it.

Qiao Xiufen thought about it and shook her head. She was led astray by her little girl.

The point is not whether she has anyone to support her, but that she will be very lonely when she gets old if she is alone.

"Let's talk about this later. If you meet the person you like, you may be in a hurry to get married even if your mother doesn't let you." Qiao Xiufen thought about what her little girl said and she still couldn't take it seriously.

When Li Anan saw his mother like this, he knew that she didn't believe it. Forget it, just don't believe it until she grows up.

As long as she meets the person she likes, she doesn't think it's possible for the time being.

But there are no absolutes, what if?
"Go and ask them to bring the dishes, get ready to eat." As she spoke, Qiao Xiufen had already prepared the dishes, and the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of cooking.

"Okay!" Li Anan responded and ran out.

Who should I call to serve the food? Of course, he calls her fourth brother, fifth brother and eldest nephew.

Now the three of them are the most manageable people in the whole family.

Although Li Anan shouted loudly in the kitchen, he stopped making any noise when he went out.

She wanted to secretly see if the three of them were doing their homework.

If she was caught slacking off, she would file a complaint.

The three people in the room were scratching their heads over books.

The books they are using now were copied by Li Anan and An Xiaopang Qin Sanlang.

Although Li Anan's handwriting is a bit poor, it can still be understood.

It's for my own family anyway, so I don't care about that anymore.

Originally, Li Anan copied it by himself and used it as a calligraphy practice.

But it really takes a process for her handwriting to go from bad to good, and this process is a bit paper-consuming.

An Xiaopang and Qin Sanlang heard about it and volunteered to help.

Li Anan thought the same thing. He had to practice calligraphy at all times, but his two brothers and nephews couldn't delay their studies for school.

Don't look at the "Three Character Classic" and "The Thousand Character Essay", which are the most basic books for enlightenment. They are really not cheap.

If you go to a bookstore to buy it, the price of a copy is about 150 yuan.

Not to mention the cost of studying, just buying books is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Books can be used as heirlooms in this era.

Not to mention, if you want to study, it is not enough to have books. You also need pens, ink, paper and inkstones. In addition to the inkstone, the first three items are all daily consumables.

Just ink and paper cost a lot of money.

Paper is also subdivided into the cheapest hemp paper, rice paper, cocoon paper, rib paper, and even the extremely expensive Chengxin paper. There are many ways to do this!
