Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 55 Is this a dream?
"Come, come, Sanniang, Uncle Qi toasts you!"

In Lu Anshan's slightly dilapidated home, there was an atmosphere of joy and celebration at the moment.

This half month's money has been settled by Erfu Yunlou, not to mention the happiness of the two uncles and aunts.

They worked hard for half a month and fished hard. They had to crawl out of their warm blankets at three o'clock every day, and rushed to the edge of Yunxi Lake at the beginning of Yinshi.

There is no animal power to pull the equipment used to drill the ice, and the ice surface is slippery and tight. Even if the feet are wrapped in sackcloth, they are not as powerful as on the ground.

When lifting the net, it not only takes a lot of effort, but also often falls because of the wet and slippery ice.After finally dragging the net ashore, we have to check the mesh and throw some small fish or other kinds of fish back into the lake.

The weather is so cold, if your hands get wet, the cold will be even worse.Brothers Lu Anshan and Lu Anhua contributed the most, their hands were covered with chilblains, and even the slightest touch hurts badly.

Su Yun couldn't bear it, and the boy who came to pick up the goods from Fuyunlou brought a few bottles of good clam oil and asked the two uncles to wipe their hands.But the two uncles are reluctant, they are used to suffering, for them, as long as they can earn a stutter, eat meat for the last time in a month, and have a meal of white rice every day, this is their greatest pursuit in life, that is Things that can only happen in dreams.

What is suffering?In Uncle Qi's words, their peasant family was born to endure hardship.Eat a little bit of hardship, if you can exchange it for good white rice and meat, then it is worth it to sacrifice all this meat.

Lu Anshan was very happy today, and he was so happy that he couldn't find his way.Since he was born, the most money that has passed through him is ten guan.

That was when he married his wife back then, his poor parents begged his father to sue his grandmother to borrow it from the tribe.In order to repay the money, his poor brother Lu Anhua didn't marry a wife until he was 22 years old.

Look at the delicious dishes on the table, there are fish and meat, the fish is squid, the meat is mutton, and this excellent daughter red...

Lu Anshan felt like he was in a dream. Until now, he couldn't believe it. In just half a month, he went from a person who couldn't eat enough to a rich man with 500 taels of silver.

Yes, 500 taels of silver is not a small amount for a farmer.This can buy a hundred acres of fertile land and buy a cow. This is a proper small landlord!
One mu of fertile land, in a good year, can produce at least 250 catties of grain, a hundred mu of fertile land...

Lu Anshan couldn't figure out how much this number should be in his heart, he just felt that he was frightened by his own vision, how could Lu Anshan have such virtue, how could he live such a good life?

The concept of "born to suffer hardship" has already taken root in Lu Anshan's heart, so when happiness comes, after experiencing the initial ecstasy, he instead worries about gains and losses, and always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

"Seventh Uncle, it's all your hard work. Sanniang is honored by you and Eighth Uncle. Otherwise, just me, Xi'er and Erlang, I don't know when I will have to work so hard to get the 2 taels of silver." !"

Su Yun is also very happy, there are many people and strength is great, this is not false at all.Just a simple cooperation has earned more money than she has earned in the past half a month, and even doubled it several times, so she said this very sincerely.

"San Niang, don't say that..." Alcohol slowly fermented in Lu Anshan's stomach, and he, who was originally seldom speaking, became more talkative, "If it wasn't for you, your aunt and I I can't even think about it..."

Lu Anshan's gaze became erratic, "Drinking this mutton soup and eating fish meat always feels like a dream, and I dare not even laugh too loudly, for fear that if I laugh loudly, I will wake up from this dream... "

"Who said it wasn't?" Han Chunyun also sighed, turned his body slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly got up and said, "Hey, you guys eat first, I'll go to the stove to see if the rice is cooked..."

After speaking, he got up and went into the kitchen without waiting for the big guy to react. Not long after, everyone heard sobbing from the kitchen.

Lu Anhua and Qiu Siniang listened to Han Chunyun's suppressed crying, and their eyes turned red. Lu Anhua took a sip of wine and said, "How many years, for this mouthful of white rice and broth, our bloodline, that is Xin We have worked hard for three generations. Before my mother died, she wanted to eat a bun filled with pork and cabbage. For this, my elder brother and I knelt by the patriarch for most of the night in the cold winter. A small bag of white flour and a small piece of pork..."

Tears flowed down the corners of Lu Anhua's eyes, against the scabbed face, everyone felt sour in their hearts.

"But when it's here, Mom still hasn't had a bite of the pork buns before going..." Lu Anhua couldn't continue talking, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"That's not it..." Qiu Siniang also wiped her tears, "It would be great if mother and father were still here..."

The atmosphere in the room became depressing. Unlike Su Yun, these people, including Lu Xier and her younger brothers and sisters, were the ones who had really suffered, and suffered for a long time.

And it wasn't long before Su Yun possessed her body. Speaking of it, at most she had suffered a bit of tossing. She didn't have such a deep understanding of the word "endure hardship".

She doesn't know what it's like to work hard without meat or white rice for a long time.But listening to these people's words, and the brief period of starvation not long ago, she could feel something.

She couldn't live a day in this hopeless and futureless life.Before my mother died, she just wanted to eat pork buns. As a son of man, she couldn't even satisfy this request. How sad and desperate it must be!

"Okay, two uncles, eighth aunt, don't cry, watch your eyes carefully..." Su Yun didn't know how to comfort her, because she had never experienced their pain, so her words seemed a bit dry, "Everything is alright now Yes, my uncle and uncle Quanxia will be very pleased if he knows."

After a pause, he continued: "Now that we have money, we can still send Chunsheng and Chunfeng to study. When they have achieved fame, are we afraid of being bullied by the tribe again?"

"Yes!" Han Chunyun came out of the kitchen at some point, holding a large porcelain basin with white rice in it. She put the porcelain basin on the table, wiped away her tears and said, "San Niang said Well done! A poor man cannot be short-sighted! Why should we be born as a place of suffering?"

"Why are they all surnamed Lu, but the children of that family can't go to school after learning from us?!"

As Han Chunyun spoke, his face showed anger, and he said all the things he had kept in his heart for many years, "Didn't Lu Anfu always say that our side branches did not contribute much to the clan? Now that we have money, we also give it to the public. Donate so the kids can go to school!"
