A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises
Chapter 106 First Snow
This time when they went out to purchase food, Mr. Tian and his friends did not return until dark, and the food on the car was more than the previous two times.
For several days in a row, Tian Danian followed the same method and took Hanhan and Shitou to buy a total of 10,000 kilograms of grain in batches and from different places - including white rice, white flour, sorghum rice, millet, sorghum, red beans, mung beans, sweet potatoes, rhubarb rice, taro, etc.
All these things were stored in the newly dug cellar of the Tian family.
Fortunately, the newly dug cellar by the Tian family is big enough, otherwise, so many things would not be able to fit in.
However, storing so much food at once did cost a lot of money.
Wang felt sorry for her son for a while, but after all, the money was not wasted. It was actually exchanged for edible food. Even though Wang felt sorry for her son, it only lasted for a day or two, and then she went back to working on her dried vegetables with great interest.
Because Tian Xiaoman and Wang said that in addition to storing grain, they also had to store some meat and dried vegetables.
On weekdays, Wang has the habit of drying vegetables.
Can’t eat eggplant in summer?
——Sun-dried.
Can’t eat beans?
——Sun-dried.
Freshly picked daylilies?
——Sun-dried.
Wang's case perfectly illustrates the saying that everything can be dried.
Wang was reluctant to even throw away the cabbages without cores harvested in the autumn. She hung them directly on the branches of the jujube tree in the backyard and dried them all in the sun, which she could blanch and eat with sauce in the winter.
In addition to the dried vegetables produced at home, there are also dried black fungus and dried mushrooms that the mother and her friends usually pick up in the mountains, as well as the smoked meat that Wang bought back these days, and the jerky meat made from the silly roe deer that Hanhan brought back before.
All in all, the cellar was almost filled up.
With these foods, Wang suddenly felt full of security.
She doesn't care about natural disasters or man-made calamities. She just needs to have food to survive.
With these foods in the cellar, the family has confidence.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snow fell as expected.
However, the first snow of this winter was not heavy. After it stopped, it was just up to people’s ankles.
After dawn, Tian Danian could no longer lie down, so he came out of the house, picked up the broom and started sweeping.
In fact, what he was most worried about was not the snow piled up in the yard, but the snow on his roof.
The snow on the roof must be swept down as soon as possible, otherwise, when the sun comes out, it will melt into the house and make it cold.
But before Tian Danian went up to the room, Hanhan, who was also unable to sleep, also got up.
As soon as he saw Tian Danian's action, he rushed to say, "Uncle, I'll go up. You are old, try not to climb high. If there is any work at home, just tell me, Hanhan can do it. Xiaoman said - I am grown up now, I have to do some work within my ability. Xiaoman also said - people are like this, they can't eat free meals. If they eat free meals, they will become penniless in the future and have nothing."
Tian Danian was still sighing a second ago, thinking that he was only 34 years old, in the prime of his life, so why did he feel old?
The next second after hearing Hanhan's words, he started to complain about his little daughter again.
Why does the little girl tell Hanhan everything? Hanhan is a stubborn person and even if he tells her, he may not understand her real meaning.
This is because Hanhan doesn't think too much, otherwise, if he meets someone who thinks too much, he will think that his family is unwilling to raise him.
"It's okay! I, your uncle Tian, can still work. And - you should eat and drink, don't listen to Xiaoman's nonsense."
Hanhan retorted immediately. He couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Tian Xiaoman.
"Uncle, I think what Xiaoman said is right. Xiaoman said that adults should do adult things and should not treat themselves as children. Xiaoman also said that only if I learn to take care of myself can I take good care of my wife and children in the future."
Tian Danian really wanted to hold his forehead. Didn't this kid always talk about his mother? Why did he talk about Xiaoman every three sentences now?
Could it be that as the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together," he was influenced by his own daughter in such a short period of time?
Tian Danian couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it. However, he still advised Hanhan to try his best to be the same as before.
Hanhan was very persistent and firmly believed that what Tian Xiaoman said was right. Seeing this, Tian Danian stopped trying to persuade him.
However, Hanhan was still very insistent on going up to the roof to sweep the snow, and Tian Danian couldn't persuade him, so he had to let him go up.
It’s true, although Hanhan’s movements were a little clumsy, he had a very good grasp of balance.
After he went up, he followed Tian Danian's instructions and swept the roof of the Tian family's main house clean.
After coming down, Hanhan showed a happy smile on his face, looking at Tian Danian as if asking for praise, his dark eyes full of expectation.
Tian Danian was not stingy either. He racked his brains to come up with several phrases - things like "capable", "the best", "sweeps clean", "can work", "helped Uncle Tian solve a big problem", etc.
Tian Danian used almost all the words he used to praise his own daughter when she was a child on Hanhan.
Hanhan was very happy and smiled, feeling that he had helped Uncle Tian a lot.
Seeing that there was not much work to do in the yard, he started looking for work everywhere.
He turned around and saw Wang busy in the kitchen, and his eyes lit up.
"Auntie, let Hanhan help you!"
Wang, who was preparing breakfast for the family in the kitchen, was stunned when she heard Hanhan's words.
"There's not much work to do here, kid. We have a rule in our family that men don't go into the kitchen. You should go see if anyone else needs help. You don't need help here."
Hanhan: Men are not allowed to enter the kitchen? When did this rule come into being? I was clearly helping to light the fire in the kitchen yesterday.
How could Wang dare to ask Hanhan for help? Now, she was worried when she saw Hanhan in the kitchen.
The last time, Hanhan came to the kitchen to help, he almost scared Wang to death.
The child said he wanted to be like wood and help himself to make fire.
However, when Wang turned around, the child almost set the kitchen on fire.
If Wang hadn't reacted quickly enough, the big iron pot in her home would have exploded.
Later, the child said he wanted to help Wang wash rice. He almost poured a whole basin of rice into the slop bucket. Wang was so scared that she never dared to let Hanhan enter the kitchen again.
"Auntie, don't be polite with me, I can do it! I'm not afraid of getting dirty or tired!"
Wang: I’m afraid you’ll set my kitchen on fire!
"I don't have any work for you here. If you can't stay idle, go play with Mu Tou or Xiao Man. I'll call you when dinner is ready. By the way, you like boiled eggs, so I'll boil some for you later."
When he heard that there were boiled eggs to eat, Hanhan immediately forgot the purpose of his visit and left with a smile.
Tian Danian, who watched the whole process from the door, looked at his wife.
Both husband and wife felt a deep sense of powerlessness - alas, Hanhan is such an honest child.
