Yoyo Farming

Chapter 7

Fortunately, there seems to be only this village nearby. Fu Niu only thinks about a thick tree at the entrance of the village, while dragging the things exhaustedly, she has to look back from time to time to see if she is there by the moonlight.At this moment, a Shuan's voice sounded: "Sister, is that you?"

Fu Niu breathed a sigh of relief, "There is Shuan, I am the one who is back."

Under the moonlight, there was a bolt coming up to meet her, and she was worried: "Sister, where have you been? It won't be until this time to come back after entering the mountain. If you go far, there are black bears in the mountain. You can't walk past that big pine tree." of."

Fu Niu thought to herself, how do I know, I have walked through countless pine trees on the road.Just thinking about having something to eat is enough, it doesn't matter if it is a pine tree or not.

You Shuan's voice was very sorry: "I forgot to tell you this morning." As she came to help pick up the things, Fu Niu thought to herself, you forgot to tell me last night, let alone this morning.Thinking of not even having a cup of hot water in the morning, and dragging rich things in his hands, his anger turned into pride: "You Shuan, come and see, what sister brought back for you."

In the dark night, there was a surprised cry from Youshuan first, and then he immediately covered his mouth and helped Fu Niu push things behind, while whispering: "Sister, let's keep quiet and go home quickly."

Youshuan pushed behind, and Fu Niu, who was dragging the branches in front, felt less tired, but asked Youshuan: "Why can't you say it?" You should praise your sister well.

Shuan's small voice came from behind: "Where did you get so many things? If someone sees them, what will you do?" Let me tell you, I am rich today, so I don't talk anymore.The two siblings walked home one after the other, one dragging the branches and the other pushing things on the branches.

In the yard, by the moonlight, I took off the bamboo on my body and put it against the wall, and then took off the cloth bags and opened them one by one. As soon as I got out of the mountain, the water on the fish was almost dry, so Fu Niu took the fish with me. Putting it into his pocket, he took out the fish and shook it in front of Youshuan's eyes: "Look, what is this?" Sure enough, Youshuan was happy, hugged the four fish and said, "Sister, why are you so good? We haven’t eaten such a big fish for several years, and we watched other people worship their ancestors at the market during the Chinese New Year, or at other people’s homes.”

"I will often eat some in the future." Fu Niuxiong said in a high spirited manner, and then he was hit a little bit. Without salt, can today's fish be stored tomorrow?

Forget about it, first take out the things, then take out the bamboo shoots and bamboo whips.Youshuan is also happy, but the happiness is something else: "You can sell it." Wash two more apricots and give them to Youshuan, who is also happy to take them and nibble: "It's delicious." Then he ate them and put them in his pocket while standing Look inside: "Sister, you have these things in here."

Fu Niu choked for a moment, gnawed apricots in her hand and mumbled: "What else do you want?" Suddenly remembering that there was a bird egg in her arms, and seeing You Shuan who was eating and talking under the moonlight, Fu Niu decided to go first. If you don't take it out, you should first solve the problem of storing the fish with Youshuan. There is a slight breeze blowing around, but even if the fish is hanging in the yard, it can only be left for tomorrow.Besides, I don't know if there are wild cats in this yard. In order to protect her victory, Fu Niu thinks a lot.

"Yes, if there is salt, this fish can be marinated and eaten for a few more days, and it will be delicious if you cook one tonight." Saying this, Fu Niu was somewhat depressed, looking at the bright fish in the village. There are not many, farmers go to bed early and get up early, and they are reluctant to light oil lamps. There are no grocery stores for a while, and even if they have money, they can’t buy them, and they have no money.

Seeing that the neighbors all fell asleep, I realized that I had come back late in the first place.It can be regarded as a busy day from morning to night: "By the way, what food did you prepare for sister?"

Youshuan was very happy and said, "You will definitely like to eat what I prepared." Then he went into the room in the dark and took out a big cornmeal pancake, luckily it was hot.Then there is a shrimp.You Shuan swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm really sorry for your sister, there were a few shrimps at noon, but I ate one and wanted another one, and finally this one was left for you."

Fu Niu solemnly took the still-warm cornmeal pancake, and expressed her gratitude to You Shuan: "You Shuan, if it was someone else, none of them would be left behind." It seems that she should be more grateful to You Shuan.Youshuan also replied seriously: "Sister, you are so right. If I had kept it for someone else, I would have eaten it long ago."

Shouldn't she be crying, such a sister and brother are deeply in love, Fu Niu sits under the moon and gnaws on cornmeal pancakes, crying in her heart, eating this after a hard day.Thinking about it, I still have to be careful to eat the shrimp that is called a big shrimp in the river shrimp group, but the shrimp that can't even cover the center of my palm, for fear that I will swallow the whole shrimp with one mouth.

The issue of people's livelihood was still under consideration, Youshuan thought about the four big fish and said, "Sister, you eat, I'll find some way to find some salt." Then he picked up a big fish and left.Seeing the little figure disappearing into the darkness, and dogs barking from time to time in the darkness, Fu Niu sat under the moonlight, looking at a pile of apricots, a big bamboo shoot, a few bamboo whips, and a few sticks she had brought. Bamboo and the three fish continued to cry and eat, but the little shrimp was still in his fingers and hadn't finished eating.

He took a bite of the cornmeal pancake and licked some river prawns, and when he only ate half of the cornmeal pancake, Youshuan came back with something in his arms, and as soon as he entered the yard, he yelled, "I got salt."

It can't be blamed that Fu Niu is surprised and surprised when she hears the word "salt", like a serf turning over to see the sun.You Shuan said: "I got old Uncle Tian up, and I exchanged fish with him. He has a bullock cart to help people do part-time work every day, and tomorrow he can go to the market to sell the fish."

Put down the things I was holding in my arms, a small oiled paper bag with salt in it; a small bottle with a little vinegar in it; and a little soy sauce in it, facing the moonlight You can hear it even if you shake it, and it feels light when you hold it in your hand.

This was enough for Fu Niu to be happy, and she counted the things in her hand: "There is a plug, go to the fire, sister will cook fish soup for you to eat." It's a pity that there is no oil.Thinking about yesterday's poor and poor, today there are so many things, I shouldn't complain, Fu Niu quickly turned back a smiling face.
