After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

Xia Ran did not stop him. When the time came to pay, he could just pay more. This was also the most direct reason why Xia Ran liked this era.

People at this time were generally kind, simple, and honest. Whatever they did, the first thing they thought of was to live up to their conscience. Although they were poor, their ambitions were not poor. They were afraid of owing favors to others and afraid that they would suffer losses.

They all carefully adhere to the bottom line in their hearts and do not easily cross the line. Unlike later generations, where demons are rampant, humans and ghosts are mixed together, and everything is about money. For money, you can do anything, and often can't tell whether the person next to you is a human or a ghost.

After Xia Ran and the others finished their meal and cleaned up everything on the pot, they cooked two large bowls of noodles. This time they didn't use any mixed grain noodles, but only black noodles.

The so-called black flour is also wheat flour, but it is the worst kind. It is also determined by the current flour-grinding technology. Wheat flour is divided into three types. The best and whitest kind is called white flour, also called the first layer. The second layer is the second layer, which is neither white nor black. The steamed buns are yellow and a little black. The worst is the third layer, black flour.

Not only is the color of the noodles black, but the texture is also worse, rough, and mixed with a few pieces of wheat bran. For people nowadays, even this black noodles are considered to be the best noodles that they are reluctant to eat.

It's not that Xia Ran is reluctant to give everyone pure white flour, it's mainly because pure white flour is too eye-catching and easy to cause trouble. Let's steam some buns tomorrow.

The main ingredient of the buns is still potatoes. It is the most versatile and can be matched with anything. I also soaked some vermicelli, but I forgot to buy some black fungus. Otherwise, it would be very delicious if I added some black fungus.

Gui Niang suggested: "We have so many chives at home that we can't even finish them all. How about we cut them up and make some chive-filled dumplings tomorrow?"

Xia Ran suddenly thought of the many ways to make stuffing. How could she be influenced by the people in this place?

"Okay, I planted a few old pumpkins before, and I think they are old enough to be eaten now, so I picked them and we can pack more." The pumpkin filling is also delicious.

"Okay, then there will be less noodles."

"Gui Niang, take another bowl of flour from the flour bag and mix it. We can steam more. Who knows if more people will come in tomorrow."

"Okay, that makes sense. Then when I go back home tonight, I'll go to his fifth grandmother's house. She has a large four-layer steamer. We can borrow it and use it. We don't have to steam one pot after another, otherwise it will take forever."

"It's done."

Xia Ran went out and found the three pumpkins. She used her fingernails to test them and found that they were old enough to eat, so she picked them. She took the biggest one, and Shitou took the middle one.

Xia Ran was just about to hold the youngest child with her other hand when Jingwazi picked him up and walked slowly. It was a little difficult to hold him.

This kid, at lunch, was finally discovered by her father. Her father glared at the kid. Shitou said so.

Finally, we got through to the clear road, but I talked much less than usual in the whole afternoon, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I guess I felt guilty.

Xia Ran said with a smile: "Why are you feeling guilty? You are not a freeloader. You have helped me a lot."

"Yeah, I didn't eat for free, I worked," the kid replied in a very loud voice, as if he was replying specifically for someone to hear.

Shitou also joined in: "Brother Jianmin, why did you scare Jingwazi? Jingwazi and I are not here for free. We are helping with the work and we are very busy."

Xia Ran made the final decision: "That's right, these two kids are capable. They can help me with work and chat with me. They are very useful."

Hearing this, both kids puffed out their chests and nodded, conveying the same meaning, "Yes, we are very useful."

Xia Ran ignored the second child's expression and walked towards the inner courtyard with the two children in a heroic and confident manner. However, a burst of laughter still came from behind.

After Xia Ran entered the kitchen, she started peeling the pumpkin directly. This old variety of pumpkin is really delicious, soft and sweet, but the skin is very thick and it is difficult to peel.

After Gui Niang kneaded the dough, she went straight back to her home and cut the chives first. She had to pick them out in the evening, otherwise tomorrow's time would be too tight and there would not be enough.

After peeling the pumpkin, Xia Ran cut it into cubes and chopped it. The temperature is low at night, so there is no need to worry about it going bad.

Soon, Gui Niang came with a big basket of chives. The more you cut chives, the longer they grow. In a few days, a new crop of chives will grow.

Shitou and Jingwazi helped to pick the leeks. This is the advantage of having more people. Child labor is also labor. Although they are small, they have deft hands and can pick leeks just as slowly as adults.

In her previous life, she only had a daughter, and she was reluctant to let her daughter do any housework, fearing that it would affect her studies and tire her out. She took care of everything by herself.

As a result, it seems that this is not a wise thing to do. Perhaps Xia Ran failed because she took her child too seriously. She protected her child too well, too much, and was reluctant to give up this or that.

Xia Ran tried her best to satisfy her child's needs, hoping that she could live a happier life. As a result, she raised her child to be a selfish and beautiful flower that only cared about its own beauty and bloom.

If we treat children like little grass, let them roam freely, and let them feel and face the ups and downs of this world first, even the evil and bad side, will the result be different?

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe it's not just a matter of my upbringing, but also a matter of genetics.

After all, after getting married and living with him for a long time, I realized that my ex-husband's family had quite a lot of problems, and their values ​​were not right. To be more precise, they didn't have values ​​at all.

I was dating someone like this before I got married, and I didn’t have enough experience, so I didn’t know what other people’s partners were like. I didn’t even have a reference for comparison.

People around me who have experienced it always say that it doesn't matter who you marry, after a long time, you find that marrying anyone is the same. In addition, I was getting old, and I got married without thinking about it not long after I met my ex-husband.

At that time, short videos were not popular. The Internet existed, but it had not developed to the level of later generations, and a lot of information was extremely asymmetric.

We spent a year happily after we got married. After all, we both worked and earned money, so we spent our own money and didn't have any major conflicts.

It may also be that the man hid it well enough before marriage, and when Xia Ran really got pregnant, the world changed, and the man turned against her.

Especially after giving birth to a baby, a girl. The ex-husband finally showed Xia Ran his fangs, which had been sharpened to an unusual degree.

Only then did I realize that the man I married was a man who favored boys over girls and was a coward who didn't take responsibility. He kept saying whatever his mother said and whatever his father said.
