Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

"So fast?"

"He went there in a carriage."

Lan Qiyan curled his lips, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."

"Yanyan, I brought you a gift, see if you like it."

"What gift? It's so mysterious."

Yu Zian took out a hairpin from his bosom and took a look at it in the moonlight. "Is it made of glass or jade?"

"Yanyan has really good taste. It's made of glass. I think it looks really good on you."

"How much did it cost?"

"Three taels of silver."

Lan Qiyan's mouth twitched, "You prodigal son of a bitch, we are facing the loess and back to the sky, I will take this to the mountain."

"You can dress up, too."

“Haha, when I sold some clothes, the villagers thought I was making money. Now they put a hairpin on me, and I don’t know how they will criticize me?

They will definitely say that I make money by collecting thatch roots, because they dislike you for being poor and are afraid that you will become rich.

We have to keep a low profile. Besides, we are really broke now and we have five children to study. "

"It's okay. He Yunchuan won't stop practicing."

"His family will be starving, so we should at least give him some hard work compensation every year."

"Don't worry, Yanyan, I'll get some money tomorrow if I catch a few wild boars.

You should dress up if you want to. There is no need to look ugly."

Lan Qiyan kicked him and said, "You are the only one who knows a lot. When will you be able to fully protect me and when will you stop making a fool of yourself?"

Yu Zian looked at Lan Qiyan's fair face and delicate features. He could not combine him with the dark-skinned man during the day.

"Yanyan, you are so beautiful."

Lan Qiyan's face was full of pride, "I am the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Yeah, they're more beautiful than those in the capital."

Lan Qiyan didn't believe it, there must be more beautiful ones.

Yu Zian continued, "Yanyan, don't feel inferior to me. You are really beautiful."

"We each have our own merits. I have never felt inferior to others. Those who can compete with me in looks are not as good as me in farming.

Those who are better at farming are not as good as me in doing business, and those who are better at doing business are not as good-looking as me.

Haha, I just want to use my strengths to beat them to death."

Yu Zian smiled and said, "You are right."

After Lan Qiyan finished laughing, the atmosphere between the two was quite awkward.

"Well, go to sleep."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Lan Qiyan turned over and said, damn it, it won’t work without an emotional foundation. You can’t let a grown woman like her take the initiative, right?

Yu Zian looked at her back and sighed. Would he scare her if he acted rashly? He should wait a little longer.

The two of them slept like this until dawn, when they were awakened by Yu Xiu's howling in the yard.

Old Lady Yu ran out of the kitchen, rolling a rolling pin, "If you keep yelling, your mother will come out and beat you."

"Grandma, the sun has risen, why can't my mother get up?"

"She is sleepy. If she is sleepy, she should sleep more. Why should she get up?"

"Then I'm sleepy too, why did you make me get up?"

"It's not good for you to sleep too much."

Yu Xiu pouted, "Nana, you treat me differently."

Old Lady Yu waved her hand and said, "Stop talking so much. Hurry up and light the fire. We need to harvest radishes today."

“What are you doing with the carrots?”

"Play, what can you do? Come in and light a fire."

Lan Qiyan was listening in the house. It was indeed time to harvest the radishes. The harvest time of their two plots of land was inconsistent with that of other people.

The radishes were planted in February and harvested in May. When they grew as long as her arms, she picked them up and kept a small portion to dry as a winter vegetable, and sold the rest.

How much did radishes cost? She quickly looked through the Taobao system and found that they were only ten cents per pound. But fortunately, they were only three cents per pound on the street.

Yu Zian turned his head and saw that she hadn't opened her eyes yet, so he tiptoed up.

After Yu Zian left, Lan Qiyan opened his eyes and thought, "It would be better to let my mother-in-law sleep here, otherwise it would be too torturous."

Old Mrs. Yu left some rice in the pot, and the three of them went to the fields to harvest radishes.

I sell the radishes for money and use the radish leaves to feed the rabbits. The rabbits in the backyard have multiplied a lot, at least forty of them.

A large one weighing six or seven pounds can be sold for 300 wen. Compared with the 100 wen charged by the restaurant in the town, Taobao space is still very user-friendly.

It would be even more perfect if we ignored the high prices she had to pay to buy things from there.

When Lan Qiyan got up, the sun was almost at noon.

The yard is already full of radish leaves drying in the sun, and the radishes are piled in the side room, thicker than her arms. Composting is really effective.

She lifted the lid of the pot, took a bowl of rice porridge with some pickles, and ate an egg.

Seeing that they haven't come back yet, she plans to show off her skills. She is sure to succeed this time.

I ran to the vegetable garden and cut a handful of leeks, washed and cut them, then scooped half a bowl of noodles into a bowl, added an egg, sprinkled some salt, and stirred clockwise.

You can use your hands to roll it into balls, or you can use a spoon to scoop a ball and put it in the pot when it’s time to cook.

Since they are all home-made, there is no need to worry too much about whether the shape of the meatballs is good-looking.

I made them a meatball soup today, which is also one of her favorite soups.

I bought some star anise and peppercorns from Taobao, and sautéed onions, ginger and garlic, then added water. After the water boiled, I added the leek meatballs, and finally a handful of vermicelli.

After she finished cooking, she remembered that it would be better if she added a tomato when stir-frying.

One pot contained soup, and in the other she planned to make scallion pancakes.

Knead the dough with cold water until it is soft, then put the noodles aside, chop the green onion, put oil in a pot, heat the oil and pour it into a bowl, put some noodles and chopped green onion, some salt, stir with chopsticks, and a bowl of scallion oil is ready.

The next step is to roll the dough into a large circle, spread the prepared scallion oil evenly on it, and then cut the round cake a few times.

Finally, roll it along the knife edge a little bit at a time, roll the whole pancake into a palm-sized ball, press it a few times, and continue to roll it into a large round pancake with a rolling pin.

Heat the pan and leave some oil in the pan when making scallion oil. After the oil is hot, put the dough in.

When one side is golden brown, turn it over. Repeat several times and a crispy and crunchy scallion pancake is ready.

Oh, she is such an average little genius.

By the time the family of three carried back the last of the radish leaves and radishes, they were already overwhelmed by the aroma of the rice.

Yu Xiu put down a basket of radishes and ran to the kitchen, "Mom, what delicious food have you made?"

"Leek meatball soup and scallion pancakes. Go wash your hands and face and get ready to eat."

"Mom, you are so amazing. You can actually cook?"

Lan Qiyan was full of pride. "Yeah, I'm such a smart person, I can learn it right away, and I will learn more in the future."

Old Lady Yu also rushed in, "Yanyan is so amazing, it smells so good." Girl, did you pour the oil can into the pot?

"Mom is awesome. I'm so lucky. Those five guys can't get anything to eat. Haha."

At the same time, several brothers who were eating the big pot meal sneezed at the same time.

Several brothers looked at each other at the same time. There was no need to guess, it must be the second brother who was saying bad things about them at home.
