Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Li Zheng and a few others all knew that Li Mingxia was not easy to mess with now. Since Zhang was working in the fields, they could not get any other benefits. Li Zhengzhi took advantage of Li Mingxia's inattention and stole half of the salted duck egg that Zhang had left. He turned around and ran away without saying a word. The remaining two people disappeared in an instant.

Li Mingxia didn't have the time to worry about the half salted duck egg. She looked at Zhang who was working in the field with her back bent, and she couldn't tell what she felt.

"Sister, is mother crying?" Li Zhengde asked in a low voice with sadness on his face. He also missed his father and elder brother, but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid that his mother would cry.

"Sister, I can't eat anymore." Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong put down the pies in their hands, pursed their lips, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Li Mingxia touched Li Zhengde's head and looked at the three people in front of her. She, who had always been eloquent, felt at a loss for words at this moment.

What do you want her to say? She is a blood relative. What can she say to comfort the pain in their hearts?

"Sister, can father and brother come back?" Li Mingdong looked up and asked in a low voice.

Li Mingxia opened his mouth and felt as if his throat was blocked by cotton. His heart felt dry and uncomfortable, and his eyes became red unconsciously.

"As long as you don't give up, there is always hope." Li Mingxia glanced at the sun in the sky. None of the children spoke. They picked up the farm tools aside and caught up with Zhang. Li Mingdong put the leftover food into the basket, and once again held it tightly in his arms, staring at the people working in the field without blinking.

For the next three days, Li Mingxia only made cornmeal cakes and pickles.

Except for a small incident that happened on the second day, when Li Zhenghe forced them to "taste" the water they drank, Li Mingxia felt disgusted and threw it into the river together with the kettle. Li Zhenghe wanted to curse but Li Mingxia kicked him and he couldn't get up for a long time. The rest of the time was relatively calm.

On the fourth day, Zhang and her friends got up early and spent the whole morning transporting back all the peanuts from the field. At this point, their family's two acres of land had been completely cleared, but not even half of the work in the Li family's old house had been done. Even so, more than half of the work was done by Grandpa Li and Li Erlang, and the rest of the people took advantage of Grandma Zheng's absence to be lazy and avoid working, and Grandpa Li was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters.

But Li Mingxia didn't care about these things. She was lying in the room and sleeping soundly. Li Zhengde and the others were the same. After coming back, they didn't even eat and went straight to the kang to catch up on their sleep. After Zhang woke up, she saw the children sleeping soundly, so she tiptoed to get the cloth and went to the yard to sew clothes. Caicai circled around Zhang for a few times, rubbed her legs, and waited for a while. Seeing that her master didn't move, Caicai knew that her master didn't have time to play with her, so she didn't run around or shout, but just lay down at Zhang's feet with squinting eyes, and it was unknown whether she was asleep or not.

It was already afternoon when Li Mingxia woke up completely. He felt that the physical strength he had consumed in the past few days was mostly replenished in this sleep.

After getting a good sleep, I felt my mood improved. Although it was autumn, the weather was particularly hot today. Li Mingxia changed into thin clothes and went out.

"Are you awake? If you don't wake up, I will go and call you. How are you going to sleep at night if you continue like this?" Zhang looked up and saw Li Mingxia coming out, and said with a smile.

"I was too tired these days, so I slept a little longer. Mom, have you rested enough? There's nothing to do at home, why don't you lie down and take a rest?" Li Mingxia moved a small stool and sat next to Zhang. He picked up Caicai and put him in his arms and began to play with its little ears.

Caicai didn't struggle, but closed his eyes with a bit of enjoyment.

"Not tired. I'm used to doing these kinds of work. What's tiring about it?" Zhang smiled, without stopping her needlework.

Li Mingxia remembered that Zhang had to do much more work in the past, so she stopped talking about this topic and said, "Cook a few more dishes tonight and reward these little ones. They are really capable and are not much worse than the adults."

Li Mingxia was not exaggerating when he said this. The adults in the Li family's old house really didn't do as much as his own younger brothers and sisters.

Zhang nodded. "Okay, let's see what we have at home and eat a bite first. We'll go to town in a couple of days to buy some more meat and vegetables. It's time to repair our house."

In the countryside, when you hire someone to do work, in addition to wages, you have to provide them with a meal. It doesn't matter if the food is good or bad, but they must be full. This has become a tacit rule.

Li Mingxia nodded. The autumn harvest was over, but he didn't have much time to rest for a few days. There were so many things to do! He couldn't delay any of them.

It's said to be dealt with, but Li Mingxia has his own secret weapon, how can he really deal with it?

Li Mingzhan asked Zhang to go to the village to buy two pieces of tofu, and started preparing the dishes at home.

Li Zhengde likes to eat braised spareribs, Mingdong and Mingqiu like to drink fish soup, and Zhang likes to eat pork belly. All of them are arranged!

First, I went to the river and caught three big fish. I raised one to make fish porridge tomorrow morning, and the other two to make fish soup.

Li Mingxia was not stingy with the braised spareribs. He picked the ribs with plenty of meat and were easy to chew. He cut three potatoes and threw them in. The spareribs were stewed until they were soft, and every crunchy potato was covered with the braised soup. It tasted great with rice.

As for the pork belly that Zhang loved to eat, since Li Mingxia already had braised spare ribs, he did not make braised pork. Instead, he took a handful of leeks and stir-fried the pork belly, and it tasted very good.

Speaking of which, leeks are almost out of season. I haven't eaten leek dumplings this year. Thinking of the unique aroma of fried leek dumplings, Li Mingxia felt even hungrier.

It’s decided! I’ll eat chive dumplings tomorrow!

The tofu bought by Zhang was added to the fish soup, the milky white soup, the soft and springy tofu, sprinkled with a handful of green coriander, and it was served!

There were two dishes and a soup, and the staple food was white rice. The portion of each dish was sufficient. The children were more awakened by the delicious smell than by their sleepiness.

When they got to the table, Li Zhengde couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork ribs and started chewing on it. "It smells so good! Big sister, I've been craving for it for the past two days!"

Zhang couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Zhengde finish one piece of ribs and immediately pick up the second one. "In the past, you couldn't eat meat all year round. Now, you've become so greedy after not eating meat for a few days. It's because your eldest sister spoils you. Which farmer would be willing to eat like this?"
