Born in an ancient peasant family, the peasant girl became famous all over the world

At the end of February, Liu Chunfeng and her eldest granddaughter went to the house of her aunt who often sold eggs at the entrance of the village. They spent twenty cents and bought ten chicks, all of which were female.

From then on, the girls had hope again.

After the chicks were brought home, Liu Chunfeng counted the more than 180 copper coins left in her purse.

I bought some cornmeal to eat.

Let the granddaughters have a meal every now and then.

Three cents per pound, five pounds is fifteen cents, and it is not enough to eat more than a few times, so Liu Chunfeng did not dare to eat too much.

The food used to feed the chickens includes the leftover grains from last year and grass.

When the granddaughters went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables every day, they brought back a lot of green grass, which was also nutritious when chopped up.

Occasionally, I would catch some insects and start feeding chickens again.

The busy farming season continues as usual.

As usual, throughout the year, there was only enough money to pay the heavy taxes and barely get by on food.

And Liu Chunfeng, because of the more than one hundred copper coins she earned last year,

Every time the granddaughters came back from work, they had corn cakes to eat.

It won't be like last year, when the granddaughters were always starving.

However, money could not be stopped from being spent. Over the past six months, it had all been used to buy corn and sweet potatoes, and gradually there was little left.

Fortunately, the granddaughters are now much stronger than before.

This is the visible harvest.

Even Xiaoliu is a little rounder than before.

As for Jiang Yue... before, she was looking forward to that bite of steamed bread. Now that her front teeth have grown, she can barely eat it, but she can't swallow it.

It was because her grandmother fed her with all the flour porridge and millet porridge at home that she felt the difference in taste. Her desire to change this family became stronger day by day.

After the millet is planted,

The chickens raised at home finally laid their first egg under the expectant eyes of the girls.

They ate the first egg reluctantly, and people in the yard rushed to watch.

Jiang Yue's little hand was held by her grandmother and she also participated in the fun.

Only the fifth sister was sitting on the steps in the yard, and she had no interest in the egg seller at all.

Finally, Jiang Dani suggested,

"Grandma, let's do the same as the old lady at the entrance of the village and sell the eggs at the entrance of the village."

After these words were spoken, all the sisters nodded frequently.

Liu Chunfeng shook her head.

"No, the old woman at the entrance of the village often sells it there, and I'm afraid it won't sell well."

"Then let's just sell the eggs along the village like we sold pheasants last year, just like the village peddlers." Jiang Erni suggested, a picture of the sale already appeared in her mind.

"Okay, let's do as Erni said. Once we have more than a hundred eggs, we'll go walking around the streets." Liu Chunfeng thought that Erni's suggestion was feasible.

Jiang Yue shook her head.

"Grandma, let's go to town."

God, such simple words were so hard for her to say.

She also gradually came to know that her country was called Donglin Kingdom, and she was located in Huai'an County, Chuanshui County, Qinghe Town, Taoyuan Village.

Her words attracted the attention of all the sisters.

Even her fifth sister, who was sitting on the steps in the yard and usually ignored her, took a few curious glances at her.

"In town?" Liu Chunfeng happily hugged Jiang Yue in her arms.

"Xiao Liu, who taught you to say the word 'town'?"

"Listen, listen to what my sister says." She stumbled over the few words, her tongue feeling so tired.

"Maybe we can try going to the town." Jiang Dani agreed. She felt that Xiaoliu was the lucky star of the family.

Liu Chunfeng shook her head:

"It's ten miles from here to town, and it takes half an hour to walk. All the time is spent on the road."

Jiang Yue Mengmeng shook her head, "In town, it sells well!"

She didn't want to work so hard, going door to door. Most people in the village raised chickens, which were not easy to sell.

Otherwise, the lady selling eggs at the entrance of the village wouldn't sell them all day long.

"..." Liu Chunfeng stared at Jiang Yue in disbelief.

Several sisters nodded frequently.

"Grandma, I've said it before, Xiaoliu seems to know everything." Jiang Dani said with a smile.

"Okay, let's listen to Xiaoliu." Liu Chunfeng agreed to Jiang Yue's proposal.

Jiang Yue also nodded her little head.

With the first egg, there will be the second egg, the third egg...

In the first half month, excluding the occasional eggs, the ten hens saved more than sixty eggs.

So, early this morning, just after daybreak, Liu Chunfeng, together with Da Ni and Er Ni, pulled a cart and went out with a hundred eggs.

At the gate of the courtyard, I ran into Li.

She stared at the eggs on the Jiang family's cart,

"Hey, Sister Liu, what are you doing? Selling eggs?"

"Yes, selling eggs. You are busy, we will leave first." Liu Chunfeng replied. Li opened her lips slightly, and her lips remained stiff for a long time until the figures of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked away.

"Sister Liu is getting more and more capable!" She was eager to make some moves.

They left home at the hour of Mao, and at noon, the sun was shining brightly. When Jiang Yue and her three sisters were taking a lunch break, grandma and her eldest and second sisters were able to return home.

By chance, I ran into Li again.

She looked at Liu Chunfeng's empty cart and couldn't help but praise it.

"You guys are really capable."

Liu Chunfeng simply nodded.

In the past, she felt that women needed to rely on men in order to survive.

But now, she has completely denied her original secular ideas.

At the very least, she has to hold up the sky for her granddaughters.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were sweating profusely, and the first thing they did when they came back was to pour themselves some water to drink.

Jiang Yue was awakened by her second sister's laughter in the yard.

"The men in the village only earn 20 to 30 copper coins a day, but we earn 63 cents a day, which is more than they earn." Jiang Erni laughed loudly while washing in the yard.

The elder sister weighed the heavy purse in one hand, feeling very satisfied.

"This money is not earned in one day," said Liu Chunfeng.

Not to mention that it takes half a year for the chicks to grow up, and they also saved up the eggs for half a month.

Although Jiang Yue did not actually participate, she was happy when she heard her second sister say that she had earned more than sixty copper coins today.

…In the second month of egg-laying, after saving up eggs for half a month, there were about a hundred eggs, which were sold in the town for the third time.

This time, she thought that Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were too young, and selling eggs would not require so many people, so she only brought her eldest granddaughter.

During the autumn harvest month, grandma squeezed out some time and sold nearly 200 eggs in one day...

Since then, the Jiang family has changed from selling pheasants to being mobile vendors.

Whenever grandma and the sisters went out to sell eggs, Jiang Yue would often stay at home with her fifth sister, and be taken care of by her eldest, second or third sister in turn.

This scene made the villagers of Taoyuan Village look at Liu Chunfeng with new eyes.

Who would have thought that Liu Chunfeng could recover so quickly after suffering such a great blow.

Especially Li and Zhang, it is more than just admiration.

They feel that the sixth grandson is Liu Chunfeng’s motivation!

Actually it is not.

……

Until the end of December, Liu Chunfeng saw that in the past six months, apart from the two cents a day for the stall fee,

He smiled with satisfaction at the eight hundred and twenty-three copper coins he had saved.

Living off the land, the whole family spends almost no money.

She thought that as a woman, she didn't have any great abilities, and now that she could earn this much money, she was already satisfied.

For her, selling eggs may be a long-term solution.

She was also thinking about saving more money to send Xiaoliu to school in the future.

Now, it’s the end of the year again.

Liu Chunfeng looked at her granddaughters who were all growing up.

"Today, grandma is going to town. After selling the eggs, she will buy some cloth and make clothes for each of you. Who is willing to go with me?"

Because she made some money, she had the confidence to speak like this.

I haven’t made clothes for my children in two years.

The clothes they were wearing were too small.

As she spoke, she took three strings of copper coins, thinking that three hundred coins' worth of cloth should be enough.

The extra money, plus the money from selling eggs, can be used to purchase some food for the New Year.

"Grandma, I'll go." When Jiang Erni heard that she could go to town to buy cloth to make clothes, she excitedly hugged her grandmother.

The clothes that the sisters were wearing were made by their respective mothers two years ago before they left.

At that time, I considered that they were all growing up, so I made it too big, and now it can barely fit them.

After saying that, he continued:

"This is our Xiaoliu's first time entering the city, so we have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him get lost."

Jiang Yue...she hasn't expressed her opinion yet.

However, it was rare that her grandmother was willing to take her, so of course she had to go.
