Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

After the red bean paste buns were cooked, I fried a pot of vegetables. These vegetables were sent by people from Murakami, and we ate them while they were fresh.

He asked the eldest brother to bring seven eggs, beat them into seven small ceramic bowls, put some lard and a little salt, then pour half a bowl of cold boiled water, and steam them in a steamer.

The seven little girls in the family all looked like dried cowpeas. There was not a bit of flesh on their faces. They looked pale and thin, which was caused by not eating enough for a long time and malnutrition.

These girls not only need to supplement protein, but also calcium, iron, and vitamins. In the current environment, it is naturally impossible to provide the girls with all of these, but the food must be nutritionally balanced.

When the girls came back from growing vegetables, they smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and kept swallowing their saliva.

"Mom, is this a sweet potato? It smells so good!"

"I never thought sweet potatoes could be roasted and eaten."

“Even the porridge has sweet potatoes.”

The maids looked at the table full of food. They had been eating better and better since the separation. Every meal had not only eggs but also meat. Even the porridge they had today was served with pancakes, and each person had a soft egg. Oh my God, that was one for each of the seven people.

"Mother, there's so much food. Will we always be like this from now on?"

Little Laoqi looked at the food on the table and swallowed his saliva. He originally thought that after the family split up, his mother would lead a hard life with him, but no matter how hard it was, as long as he could be with his mother, he was willing to live. Little Laoqi was ready to endure the hardship. He didn't expect that not only would the life here be better than that at his grandmother's house, but the food would also be unique in the village.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth daughters also looked at Yang Xiuying with anticipation. They certainly hoped that they could eat like this in the future, but the prerequisite was that the family conditions had to keep up and they couldn't have no food to eat.

Although their lives have stabilized now, they are still far from eating so well.

The eldest and second oldest looked at their five younger sisters and pursed their lips.

They have to keep A Niang's secret. With that baby, good days are coming for their family.

Yang Xiuying smiled and stroked her daughters' heads. "We'll all eat like this from now on. Now that we've taken over the acquisition business, our lives will only get better and better. These aren't things you should worry about, understand?"

Come sit down and have your meal. We still have over 100 kilograms of rice left at home. All the villagers have gone to the mountains to pick milk apples and ferns. I guess many people will come to our house to exchange them for rice soon.

It's not safe to keep so much rice at home, so it's best to replace it as soon as possible."

Here, rice can be exchanged for eggs, salt, cloth, and even farm tools, much like silver. Keeping so much rice at home is like having countless gold and silver at home, which is a dangerous thing.

We still have to earn enough money as soon as possible to activate the space storage function, and we have to build the brick house quickly. If there were not so many villagers and the village chief here today, if Zhou Dazhu, Deng Defa, Ma Ergun and others broke in by force, all the chickens and ducks in the house would be taken away, not to mention the girls in the house. Yang Xiuying was scared when she thought about it.

After the brick house is built, build a wall to surround the house and put some barbed wire on the wall. This way, if someone with bad intentions wants to break in, it will not be so easy to break in even with the protection of the wall.

Taohua and Shiliu knew the existence of the treasure, which naturally affected their future lives. They just had to keep it a secret and protect their mother.

But the younger sisters didn’t know this. They drank the rice porridge in small sips. The porridge also contained chopped sweet potatoes, which was sweet and delicious.

It was not easy for A-niang to provide them with good food. They had to do something to repay A-niang.

"Mom, after lunch I'll go to the mountain to pick milk apples and ferns." The third brother wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth.

The fourth brother swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth and added, "Third sister and I will go together. We agreed this morning that we would dig for black truffles and pick milk apples and bracken as well."

Taohua looked at the third and fourth brothers and shook her head, saying, "Just take care of the livestock at home. The black truffles are almost gone now, so let the people in the village pick the milk apples and bracken."

The third and fourth children only act like the eldest sister because they are afraid of being tired.

"It's okay, eldest sister. We are not tired, and we can take care of the animals in the yard."

"Yes, Sun Huahua is also picking milk apples in the mountains and taking care of the livestock at home. We can do what others can do, too."

Three pounds of milk fruit can be exchanged for one pound of rice, and two pounds of fern can be exchanged for one pound of rice. They can also go to the mountains to pick them, and then exchange them for rice.

The sisters had already discussed it when they went to plant vegetables. The third, fourth and fifth sisters went to the mountain to pick milk apples and ferns, the sixth and seventh sisters planted the remaining vegetable seeds at home, and the second sister, who was stronger, was responsible for digging the holes.

The eldest sister stayed at home in the afternoon so that if someone came to exchange rice, the eldest sister could help the mother.

A happy life must be created by everyone together, and all the pressure cannot be put on A Niang alone.

Yang Xiuying ate roasted sweet potatoes while looking at the young children who knew how to think about their families at such an ignorant age.

"I'm very happy that you have such a plan."

The daughters are all hardworking, but the most important thing is that they care about their mother.

"It's natural that our family will make money by taking on this purchasing business. The more milk apples and bracken the villagers pick, the more we will earn.

"These past few days, almost every household in the village, except for a few, has gone out every day to pick milk apples and bracken. Do you see how many milk apples and bracken there are behind our mountain?"

The third and fourth brothers went up the mountain to dig black truffles this morning. Not only were there no more black truffles, but the milk apples and bracken that were everywhere on the mountain before also became less and less, and there were almost no more on the back mountain.

The fourth one lowered his head and whispered, "Not much left."

Yang Xiuying continued to counsel the children: "Mother, what I hope most is that you can learn to read and write. I don't ask for you to pass the imperial examinations in the future, but I just hope that when you go out into the world, you will understand the world and be looked up to by your in-laws."

The seven daughters looked at Yang Xiuying in surprise. Could these girls recognize words?

After the family separated, A'niang not only made sure they had enough food to eat, but also made sure they learned to read.

Taohua and Shiliu slowly ate the tender eggs without making a sound, knowing in their hearts that they would not have to worry about food in the future. That was why A'niang wanted them to learn to read, but who should they learn from?

Is that Uncle Qingfeng? Uncle Qingfeng lives in Yangxiu Town, an hour's walk from here.
