Peasant girl's pot color Tianxiang

Chapter 8 Gossip
When Li Ran woke up again, it was already dawn.Looking at the thatched roof, the sun shines in through the slits of the roof, making it very warm on the body.

It is now July and August, the rainy season.

If it rains heavily again, what will this family do? It rains heavily outside and light rain inside.Li Ran turned his body slightly and looked at his younger brother who was sleeping in the inner room, looking thin, which made Li Ran feel distressed. Now Li Ran really treats Li Heng as his own younger brother, and it hurts to the bone.

Li Ran got up and went to the yard, took the changed clothes to the stream to wash, and scrubbed repeatedly with saponins.Back home, before Li Heng woke up, Li Ran started cooking again. He took some rice to make porridge, and added some heart and lungs. Eating it was good for his health.I steamed a few more corn buns and took them up the mountain to eat when I was hungry.

By the time Li Ran finished everything, the sun was already high.

"Sister..." Li Heng walked out of the room sleepily.

"Are you up? It's time to wash your face and eat. The water is on the stool in the yard." "Oh, good."

"Today we'll go up the mountain to pick up some fungus mushrooms. After a few days, the mushrooms will grow old. We'll eat on the mountain at noon." Li Ran arranged the itinerary for today.

"Okay, sister, I'm going to carry a pannier today as well." "No need, I sewed two mending pockets, and when the time comes, we can just put them in the pockets and bring them back to dry."

After eating, Li Ran and Li Heng locked the door and walked back to the mountain.

Today is another good day.

After several trips, Li Ran finally brought home the fungus and mushrooms that she picked today, and they were estimated to weigh more than 100 catties.Li Ran spread out the fungus with a rotten dustpan at home to dry, and dried some mushrooms and the like, leaving about [-] catties of fungus and mushrooms and planned to send them to Fumanyuan Restaurant tomorrow.

"Sister, we picked so much today, how much do we have to sell?" Li Heng sat on a broken stool in the yard and played with the worms he caught from the back mountain today. "Yes, let's sell some money and save it. We will build the house first, and then send you to the school after the autumn harvest." Li Ran had already inquired yesterday. There is no school in Qingxi Village, only Dahe Village next door. There was an old scholar who failed many exams and was teaching. He studied for two taels of silver a year, brought his own lunch at noon, and had a day off every ten days.Now is the busy season of farming, so the school is also closed.

"By the way, Xiao Heng, our land was sold out when our parents were sick, right?" Li Ran remembered that Li Heng said that except for the vegetable field behind the yard, all the other fields were sold out. , As a result, parents still failed to survive.

"Well, there was still an acre of land. When my mother passed away, I asked my aunt to take care of us and planted the rest of the land to my aunt. In the end, they didn't care about us." Li Heng recalled the scene at the time. There was a sudden sadness on his face, probably because he thought of the scene when his mother passed away.

"It's okay, don't think about it, it's over, you still have your sister." Li Ran walked over, hugging the little one.

"Where is the deed at home?" "I don't know, sister."

"I'll look for it. If we build a new house, we still need it."

Li Ran finally found a small wooden box in the innermost part under the bed, opened the moldy wooden box, and finally found the deed of the house, the separation letter, and a few copper coins inside.Well, there is no land, but at least there is a house.Tomorrow, I will go to the village head to draw more land.

Li Ran was liquidating the family property, and didn't know how big a house could be built.Li Ran put away the deed and went to the yard, ready to cook dinner.

"Xiao Ran, are you home? I'll return your bowl. I was supposed to come in the morning, but I haven't had time." Zhu Xiaohua pushed aside the fence and walked in. "Thank you, grandma said how nice you are at home yesterday." Li Ran laughed heartily. "Xiaohua, are you done with the work in the field? I see that many people are harvesting rice. It's very lively at the Dabazi. We can hear the sound at the end of the village." "It's already being harvested, uncle first." Harvest for our family, and then help my uncle’s when the rice is harvested, we don’t have much land, so don’t worry.” “Oh, after you harvest the rice, how much will you have after paying taxes?” Li Ran I am curious how much rice can be produced per acre.

"There is not much left. I heard my parents sigh yesterday, saying that today's harvest is not bad, but after paying the tax, there are only a few stones of rice left, and at most it will last until the spring of next year." Zhu Xiaohua sighed and said: "Brother We're going to say goodbye next year, and the family needs money, so my dad will take my eldest brother to work in the county after harvesting the rice, and come back when the sweet potatoes are being harvested and the winter wheat planted."

It's too early to say kiss at the age of 15.Li Ran completely forgot that he is also an ancient person now, and he will be twelve in winter, and he will be married in another four years.

"I heard that your eldest brother is getting married." It seems that gossip does not distinguish between time and space.

"Who did you listen to? No one told us. You also know that since the death of my parents, my grandparents don't want to see us even more, and they don't usually contact us."

"Oh, I heard it's from the village next door. Your aunt seems to be planning to set up more than a dozen tables. Will you go too." "I don't know, and she didn't inform us." "Go, I want to kill one of them." Where's the pig?"

"Let's talk..." Li Ran was out of interest. Although he hadn't met the uncle's family until now, he still hid whenever he could.

"I'm going back to cook first, and I'll play with you when I'm not busy in a few days." Zhu Xiaohua turned around and left after speaking.

"Xiaohua, wait." Li Ran went back to the house and took out the pig that was boiled yesterday. When I bought it, I didn't expect that it would be spoiled if it was overcooked. "You take these back and fry them to eat. They all have the same taste, but it's not good to eat them in hot weather. You can fry them again." Li Ran took out some baskets full of them and handed them to Xiaohua. "Xiao Ran, I can't ask for any more from you. You gave us so much yesterday." "It's okay, take it. If you buy too much, it will go bad if you don't eat it." "Thank you, Xiao Ran." "What are you talking about, we are good friends."

After Zhu Xiaohua left, the sky also darkened.

Li Xiaoran thought about selling the fungus a few more times and saving more money to build a better house.

Strive hard.
