The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 36 Off-Season Vegetables

"It's not bad, it's all sold out! I made a small profit." Coriander smiled, and took out the rattle from her arms, "Boom, boom, boom—" shaking it in front of his bright black eyes, Dabao and Xiao With a grin, he smiled at her, and stretched out his fleshy little hand to catch the wave drum.

"Really, that's great." Only then did Chen feel a little relieved.

"Mother, here you are." Xiangcai took out the shoes, handed them to Mrs. Chen, and said in a low voice, "Grandma snatched the pair last time. I promised to buy you a new pair."

Chen took it with a smile, and saw that the dark green satin of the shoes was embroidered with pink and purple lotus flowers, which was even more delicate than last time. She didn't say anything, knowing that Coriander was still thinking about the pair of shoes that her mother-in-law snatched from her. , I was very happy in my heart, and felt that my daughter was caring.

The old lady knew that Coriander had bought things for her mother, but she couldn't say anything about the money she earned, so she saw it right now. She took a basket of vegetables from the kitchen, walked out with small steps, glanced at them, and said heavily. With a snort, he scooped water into the water tank to wash the vegetables.

"Mom, try it."

"Hey." Mrs. Chen hugged Dabao to Xiangcai, and put on her new shoes.

"Let's see, let's see, what good things did you buy?" The old lady couldn't bear it, threw away the half-washed vegetables, ran over and stretched her neck.

"Yo Yo Yo, it's really a good thing! My dear grandma, ah...cough, there is nothing." The old lady sighed a few times, turned around and was about to leave.

"Grandma." Coriander called to her, took out some money from a small cloth bag, and handed it to her: "This is for you. Don't think it's too little."

"Ahem, what are you doing for me? It's not my money to sell it." The old lady didn't expect that Coriander would give her money, and her face was embarrassing, a little embarrassing.

"But the egg is yours. Even if it's not yours, you are an elder, and you should be filial to you." Coriander insisted with a smile.

"It makes sense to say that. Let me say that our Xiancai is a smart person, not only smart, but also filial!" The old lady who said a few words in Xiangcai was very satisfied. After receiving the money, she smiled happily, and her old face wrinkled into a big chrysanthemum. .He thought to himself that this girl could speak well, and if she gave her the money, she would also give her face, so she hurried down the steps.

This money is enough to buy several pairs of Chen's shoes. Thinking of this, I felt as if I had taken advantage of it, and I was even more happy, "Wait, grandma will get you something delicious."

"You are the only one who can coax the old lady so docilely." Chen shi was amused, and whispered.

The old lady had just brought the washed dishes into the kitchen, when Coriander took out some money and secretly handed it to Mrs. Chen.

"Why don't I want it, good girl, kick yourself, don't drop it." Mrs. Chen doesn't want it, this is the girl's money, and she even bought shoes for herself, so what do you want money for?

"Mother, this is what you deserve. You can help me light the fire and help me do it. Without your help, I can do it so fast?" Coriander couldn't help but stuff it to her.

"Didn't you buy shoes for your mother! Put them away quickly."

"Hold it quickly, grandma will be upset when she sees it later."

Mrs. Chen couldn't resist the coriander, so she took it, touched the soft yellow hair of the coriander, and said with a smile: "Okay, mother will keep it for you. Whenever you want to use it, come and get it."

"Girl, how could you do this?" Chen was puzzled, she had never seen this stuff before, how could a girl do it.

"Oh, it's not that the goat's milk can't be used up. I was playing around and accidentally found that it is delicious to eat." Coriander lied with a smile, and her eyes narrowed into crescents.I can't tell my mother that I would have done it in my previous life.But with the money I earned, I bought lamb and some other things, and distributed some to grandma and Mrs. Chen, so there was not much money left.

The days passed in vain and passed.

The leaves on the tree are green and yellow, yellow and green.The life of the peasant family is poor and simple. In the blink of an eye, four years have passed. Coriander has grown into a 12-year-old juicy girl. Her body is stretched out and she is taller. She has yellowish curly hair, clear eyes, and a small nose. , Goose egg face.There is no big difference from the little girl in the peasant family, except that her curly hair is very special, with a light yellowish brown color, which looks like her hair has been dyed, and her skin is getting fairer.

And the little baby Dabao who has been hugging her in her arms is also 5 years old this year. She walks on her short legs all day long, and she follows her sister around wildly. She is a cheerful little follower.

Originally, at Xiangcai's age, she should have gone to the school in the village long ago. Mrs. Chen mentioned it to the old lady many times, but the old lady refused. Okay, stay at home and do things for a few years, and then send it out when she grows up. How can she have that spare money for her.The money at home should not be kept for Dabao to go to school in the future?
Mrs. Chen hit a wall, feeling a little sad in her heart, seeing that the coriander obediently did not mention this matter, she had no choice but to give up.

Hmph, in the modern age, one has already read enough, and one should not be overwhelmed by one's reading. Anyway, one has already learned what should be learned.Just happy and free, planning my plan to become well-off.

Coriander thought secretly.It's just that in the countryside, instead of going to school, I have to help with farm work, and I have to be busy at home and abroad, let alone idle time.

In the cold winter, the snow covered everything.Winter is always difficult for poor families.In spring, we can dig wild vegetables, in summer we can get some food from the fields, and in autumn we have a good harvest, but in winter we lack clothes and eat less. Every household has little surplus food and nothing to eat.My stomach is always empty and there is no oil and water, and I often toss and turn hungry at night.

Coriander was wrapped in a large and ill-fitting ragged blue cotton jacket, and the cotton wool was still exposed at the cuffs of the clothes. She looked down and prepared to sew a few stitches at night.The padded jacket was worn by the Chen family, and the family had no money to buy new clothes, so they could only make do with it.She leaned against the door frame of the main room, holding a bowl of hot tea in a daze.The family is so poor, how will they spend this year?

"Hu-hu-"

The biting wind poured straight into the neck, the coriander shrank the neck, and felt a layer of fine goose bumps on the skin of the neck, and more cold wind was blowing in all directions, and the prickly little face was a little bit like a knife. There was a tingling sensation, and the eyes could not be opened, and they narrowed slightly.He bowed his head, the tea in his hand was already cold.

Seeing her, Mrs. Chen said distressedly: "Why is the cold wind blowing outside? It's cold outside, come in quickly to warm up."

Coriander smiled slightly. There is air leakage everywhere in the house, which is not much better than the outside. Let the cold wind blow, and the thinking is clearer, and said: "Come in in a while."

"Sister, sister." A small yellow cotton ball rolled over from the main room, sucking two streams of clear snot, and her little face was red with pain.

"Dabao, you're freezing, what are you doing out here!" Coriander picked up the little guy, it was heavy, the little guy grew up so fast.Take a piece of cloth to help him carry away his snot, and carry him to the kitchen.
