Small peasant girl's koi daily life

Chapter 15
Mr. Liu was a little worried about the rising food price. When he had fields to grow, he would have food at home, so he would not worry about the price of the food. Anyway, it was his own food, and the price of the food was high and low.Now I have to buy food to eat. The price of food directly determines whether my family can eat or not. Liu is naturally more concerned about the price of food.

Mrs. Liu looked at her father-in-law who was pulling weeds and feeding the cows not far away and said, "Dad, has the price of food increased? If the price of food is low, let's buy more? If the price of food is high, we will have a hard time."

Old Man Mo glanced at his daughter-in-law, and the expression on his face softened. It's a good thing for her daughter-in-law to pay attention to the price of food. He said, "It's from the third family. There is no increase in the price of food now. , five cents a pound for brown rice, and eight cents a pound for polished rice.”

Pointing to the bags of grain on the ox cart, Old Man Mo said, "We bought three months' rations, [-] catties of cornmeal, [-] catties of sorghum flour, [-] catties of flour, [-] catties of brown rice, and [-] catties of brown rice. Polished rice. I bought a lot, and the shopkeeper gave me five catties of beans. These grains cost almost a tael of silver. I bought thirteen medicines for your mother. The money for the medicine plus the money for the food cost one or two dollars. Half a dollar."

After speaking, the old man was silent.Liu Shi was also a little silent. The ten taels of silver that he had just received cost one or two and a half silver.

My mother-in-law's medicine has been reduced. It was the most suitable to drink three patches of medicine every two days, that is, one and a half of the medicine a day, but they are poor, how can they afford this medicine, and the medicine is reduced to one medicine every two days.

This is also the reason why my mother-in-law's illness has not been cured, and she can't afford the cost of medicine, so the dosage is much less, and she still uses cheap medicine.

Even if the dosage is reduced, [-] patches are needed every month, and the money for the medicine alone is [-] yuan a month, and a little more than seven taels a year.This is a conservative estimate. Old Feng suddenly fell ill, and if he couldn't breathe, he would need to ask a doctor for acupuncture treatment. He didn't run away for a few hundred wen, and it was a sad day.

Liu Shi took the eighty-two half of the silver that her father-in-law handed to her, and she felt a heavy heart in her heart.If you are looking after the food and clothing of the family, the money will be enough for everyone to live a good life.But mother-in-law's medicine money is a bottomless pit.

In order not to make father-in-law feel uncomfortable, Liu said: "Last year we were busy planting that mu of paddy fields, and we couldn't spare much time to do other things. Now we only have a vegetable field left, so we don't have to be busy with the work in the field. Let's find some more money-making business, and life will definitely get better. No, we won't have to worry about the food for the next few months. "

Old Man Mo lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at his daughter-in-law's face, he felt that his family was tired of taking care of his daughter-in-law, so he replied in a low voice, "Yeah."

When old man Mo and Liu Shi were talking like this, Mo Mo also woke up, and Mo Mo had a good sleep.When I woke up, I found myself lying in my mother's arms.She was relieved.

Rubbing her eyes, she started looking for someone.Seeing that Old Man Mo was here and her father was not there, she immediately yawned and said in a milky voice, "Grandpa, mother, where is my father? We haven't gone home yet?"

After Liu Shi replied to her daughter's words, she glanced at the sky and found that it was getting late. She looked at her father-in-law and said, "Father, let's go back."

Old Man Mo nodded directly, and the group began to return to the village.

The ox cart was heavy with grain, and both Liu Shi and Mo old man felt sorry for the animals, so they both followed the ox cart, leaving Mo Mo to sit on the ox cart.

At first, Mo Mo was reluctant to take a car. She wanted to go together with everyone. Don't be a maverick. After walking a short distance, she found that her short legs couldn't keep up with the speed of the cow, so she had to do it. Angrily got on the bullock cart.
