Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 18 Buying Sugar Ciba
Chapter 18

Xi'er dragged Meng Yuan'er around for a while, and turned back after passing through a street. There was nothing else she wanted to buy, but she still had ten cents in her bag, should she spend it or not?
Meng Yuan'er kept talking about giving Xi'er the money for the wooden hairpin all the way, but Xi'er didn't want it.

"Xi'er, I'll buy you some of these candied glutinous rice cakes, would you like to try it?" Meng Yuan'er thought, her third sister has no hobbies but loves to eat, so she hurriedly said "graciously".

Meng Xi'er raised her head and looked at Meng Yuan'er who was half a head taller than her, and asked curiously, "Candy glutinous rice cake? Are there still snacks for sale?"

"Of course, but the one who sells Tang Ciba is a mother-in-law. I don't know if she's here or not. I'll take you to see it." Seeing that Xi'er was interested, Meng Yuan'er put her heart back in her stomach.

The two walked towards a big tree hand in hand. Because of Meng Yuan'er's guidance, Xi'er really saw an old woman sitting under the tree with a basket in front of her and a board covered with it. Put something on.

"Second sister, I didn't pay attention just now." Xi'er looked at the mother-in-law in surprise, and her steps quickened a little.

Seeing her eagerness, Meng Yuan'er only smiled and said, "This mother-in-law's stall is relatively remote. Her legs and feet are not good, and she can't squeeze into the crowded place."

Meng Xi'er thought for a while, but it's true, mother also set up a stall at the entrance of the market where there are few people, the bustling center is full of young people's stalls, all of them strong and strong.

The two walked up to the mother-in-law, and before Meng Yuaner could speak, the mother-in-law bent her back, the wrinkles on her face were like old trees with twisted roots, covered with ravines, but her smile was still kind, and she greeted, "Girl of the Meng family, you Come to the market today too?"

"Yes, mother-in-law." Meng Yuan'er smiled sweetly, and pulled Xi'er to stand beside the basket.

Xi'er's eyes fell on the wooden board, and her eyes lit up a little. The white glutinous rice cakes were wrapped in sugar and placed neatly on the lotus leaves one by one. Just looking at it made people's appetite greatly increased.

"Mother-in-law, I'll buy a candy glutinous rice cake." Seeing that the third sister was about to drool, Meng Yuan'er reached out and took out three Wen coins and handed it to the mother-in-law. She picked up a lotus leaf from the wooden board with five white The chubby sugar glutinous rice cake is really cute.

"Try it." Meng Yuan'er handed the things in front of Xi'er's eyes, and then said with a smile.

Xi'er was not too polite, she rubbed her hands with her clothes, took a piece and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of glutinous rice, accompanied by not very sweet sugar grains, had a very light taste. After chewing carefully, Only to find that the more you chew, the more fragrant the rice cake becomes, and the more you eat, the sweeter it becomes.

This kind of sweetness is incomparable to those modern foods with additives. Xi'er tasted one piece after another, and after a while, all five pieces of sugar glutinous rice cakes were eaten. She licked her mouth unsatisfied and praised, "This The food is delicious."

This sugar glutinous rice cake is very strange, in Xi'er's impression, it seems that she has never eaten such a thing, so she can't help being curious, "Second sister, why haven't I eaten it before."

Meng Yuaner was taken aback for a moment, then blushed, and said, "Didn't you eat today?"

Xi'er really doesn't understand why the second sister can blush for such a simple question. It's really abnormal on the way out today!Could it be that she was ill? She couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Second Sister, are you ill? Why is your face always flushed red?"

As she spoke, Xi'er was about to reach out to touch Meng Yuan'er's forehead.

"I'm fine, I'm not sick! I can't stop you from eating." Meng Yuaner's words were a little flustered, and her face was still a little red, but not as strong as before.

Only the mother-in-law smiled slightly, watching the two sisters fight, with a hint of relief in her eyes. At her age, she also lived a carefree life.

The two sisters had a fight, and then they smiled and bought two or three more candy glutinous rice cakes, thinking that they would take them back and give them to their mother to taste.

Liu's small stall doesn't sell many things, and he doesn't expect to make much money, it's just to join in the fun.

On the way home, Meng Xier was in high spirits, and even the flowers on the way back became much cuter.

Mrs. Zhang took a few pieces of candied glutinous rice cakes to eat. Although it didn’t take advantage of anything, it’s not bad to eat and drink for free. Mrs. Liu only earned a few tens of pennies. After thinking about it, she bought a small piece of food and gave it to Mrs. Zhang , Let her make clothes for Fugui.

After returning home, Mrs. Liu was busy cooking, Mrs. Zhang went back to the house with Fugui, and Meng Yuaner took Xi'er to the vegetable garden at the back. It's a little too far away.

"Xi'er, go get some vegetable leaves to feed the chickens, and I'll chop pig grass to feed the pigs." Meng Yuan'er started to work as soon as she got home, and said to Xi'er.

Xi'er nodded. There are some overripe green vegetables that fell on the ground in this vegetable garden. They are all used to feed the chickens. Mixed with a little cornmeal, it is no exaggeration to say that it is definitely the best feed for the farm.

Mrs. Liu also likes these little chickens. It was her idea to mix them with cornmeal, but Meng Xi'er was very distressed. In the past few days, the rice tank at home has almost bottomed out, and mother is still willing to feed them with grain. livestock.

The Meng residence is on the mountain, and Meng Yuaner, carrying her small basket and sickle on her back, walked down the mountain, and soon harvested a basket of pigweed, which can be said to be a rewarding return.

After dinner, Xi'er wanted to wash up, so she went to the kitchen to boil water for her bath, and when she went back to her room to get her clothes, she overheard the conversation between her mother and sister.

"Mother, that Li Daniu is always pestering our Xi'er, you and dad don't really want to marry Xi'er to the Li family!" To tell you the truth, Li Daniu is actually very kind to Xi'er, but let's forget about his mother.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help sighing softly and said, "I think Daniel is pretty good, it's his mother, it's really too aggressive."

"That's not true. Xi'er was originally weak-tempered. Although she is much better now, she is a girl after all." Meng Yuan'er couldn't help worrying, her mother seemed to think that Li Daniu was pretty good.

"That's what I said, but Da Niu is so simple and honest, even if he really gets married, he will definitely protect Xi'er." Liu's tone was full of melancholy, why didn't he know that Li's mother-in-law was difficult to deal with, " Not to mention anything else, just this time, your sister's marriage is not easy to find."

"Anyway, I don't want Xi'er to marry Li Daniu, she said she doesn't like it." Meng Yuan'er remembered what Xi'er said a few days ago, and then she opened her mouth.

Seeing her being so excited, Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing, "You are a big sister who hasn't married yet, so Xi'er can't go ahead of you. I'll go find your grandma some other day and ask her to tell you about a marriage."
