Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Zhaozhao said that the soybean seedlings in the field had grown to one foot tall. Yu Datou's family had never seen soybean seedlings growing so well, and thought it was because the newly cultivated land was fertile.

The seedlings were strong and the harvest was abundant, so Yu Datou and his family worked even harder on the farm. They stayed in the fields from morning to night and pulled out the weeds as soon as they appeared.

All you need is hands to pull out weeds. Since the thick-necked guys have nothing to do, they can go to the fields to work.

Today I sold fifty catties of side dishes for seven hundred and fifty coins. Adding the income from the brick kiln, my daily income is over one or two ounces.

Lin was very satisfied with this income. Although he didn't become rich overnight and attract attention, he was able to make a small fortune by working diligently and quietly.

At noon, Old Mrs. Cui wanted to help with cooking. Lin took some whole grain flour and gave the task of steaming wild vegetable buns to Old Mrs. Cui.

All that’s left is to cook. Lunch doesn’t need to be too complicated, as long as it can fill the stomach. Lin decided to cook a hot dish and mix some cold dishes.

The lard at home was used up, so Lin cut the fat into small pieces and boiled a pot of lard first. The remaining fat residue was just right for cooking later.

While I was busy, someone knocked on the door.

"Third sister-in-law, I'll get you something."

Lard was boiling in the pot. Lin took out two pieces of firewood, wiped her hands and opened the door. Yu was standing at the door carrying a bamboo basket.

"Come in and tell me."

"I won't go in. There are still a lot of things to do at home. It's such a big thing for you to build a house, so as your sister-in-law, I should come and help, but I really can't do without you at home." Yu said this with a guilty look on her face.

"I just heard in the village that you wanted some vegetables. I happen to have some garlic sprouts in my garden, so I cut a basket of them for you to use first. In a couple of days, you can pick the beans, and I'll bring them back to you later."

Yu had indeed rushed over, still wearing straw sandals from working in the fields, and her clothes were covered in mud.

Lin thanked her sincerely, took the bamboo basket, put the vegetables in a basin, and returned the bamboo basket to Yu.

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment. I have some lard in the pot. It will be ready soon. Take some of it back and make stew for the children."

The third wife had three children. Fatty meat was very expensive, and fat residue was a rare food. How could Yu want it? She took the basket and left in a hurry.

"Forget it, let Shiro make the trip later."

Lin called Cuicui in and asked her to wash the garlic sprouts, while she went back to the stove to boil lard.

Washing vegetables, sorting vegetables, cooking...

With Cuicui's help, lunch was ready quickly.

Another dish is stir-fried fat residue with garlic sprouts, and the other one is blanched mushrooms mixed with water to make a refreshing cold dish.

Cuicui tasted the mixed mushrooms and shook her head in intoxication.

She adjusted the flavor of this dish by using the soy sauce brewed by Aunt Lin and adding a pinch of five-spice powder. It tasted much better than what she had made at home before.

Lin divided the dishes into two portions, one for herself and the other to be sent to the new house.

Old Mrs. Cui’s wild vegetable steamed buns are also out of the pot.

"Let's go and deliver food to your father and the others."

Cuicui couldn't wait to let her father taste it, so she put on her basket and went out with Aunt Lin.

The wheat was nearing harvest time, and although it was already noon, most of the villagers were still working in the fields.

After working for half a year, the time before and after harvest is the most stressful.

Lin looked at the yellow wheat fields and felt happy.

When I first arrived, the wheat was falling down due to drought, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into food.

"Mother Jingwen, go and bring the food."

The sharp-eyed villagers saw Lin and ran over from a distance and stuffed two ears of wheat into Lin's hands.

"Mother Jingwen, try it quickly. Look how big the new wheat grains are, and how sweet they are."
