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

The yard was flooded with bowls and basins.

Except for three gaps for people to walk, even the corners of the yard are occupied.

Si Lang was extremely excited: "Aunt San, this time we will definitely sell enough."

Lin saw that his face was covered in mud and dirt, and only his eyes and teeth were white and bright, so she went back to the house and got a basin of water.

"Wash your face and arms first."

Shiro washed it clean quickly.

Lin led a few children to count the number. There were twenty-three stacks of bowls in stacks of ten, and eighteen stacks of large basins in stacks of five, and twenty-one stacks of small basins.

"We moved over 400 bowls and pots in three trips this time. Shiro did a great job."

Old Mrs. Cui pounded her waist and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She didn't understand these things, but she just wanted to make money.

"Next time, let Chengliang and Dalang go together. They can spend the whole morning in the fields without delaying anything. We can pick more and sell them."

You can exchange the fruits for money in the city. No wonder city people love to do business. It is easier than farming.

Last time, the quantity was too small and the family was reluctant to use it all. This time, Lin smiled and asked Old Lady Cui and Lidong to pick out a few bowls and basins. She also took a few. Dahei's cub would be able to open its eyes in a few days, so she prepared the food bowls in advance.

In the evening, Old Man Cui, Cui Chengliang and Erlang came back from the fields and worked together to move part of the crops to the backyard.

Shiro can keep his composure in front of his younger siblings, but in front of his second brother, he is just a child.

"Second brother, this is my wages for today."

Si Lang counted on his fingers as he reported the bill: "Aunt San gave me twenty coins this morning, and I bought some food. Later, she gave me another twenty-eight coins, and Uncle San gave me thirty coins. But I spent twelve coins on eggs, so I still have... well, I still have dozens of coins left."

Erlang chuckled softly. He couldn't even count the money in his pocket. Only his Third Aunt didn't mind.

"The fields will be ready in the next two days, which will be a good time to buy seeds."

"it is good!"

Cui Zhaozhao happened to be passing by and heard it. He poked his head in and asked, "What are you planning to plant?"

Erlang pursed his lips and said, "Let's plant wheat."

Cui Zhaozhao tentatively said, "I plan to plant soybeans. Let's plant soybeans together."

It just so happened that she had already prepared the bean seeds. If Erlang planted wheat, it would be inconvenient for her to secretly change the seeds.

Silang scratched his head. He didn't know much about farming, so he just had to plant whatever his second brother told him to.

Erlang thought about it and agreed.

“Then we’ll grow soybeans too.”

Cui Zhaozhao smiled brightly: "It just so happens that I bought some extra bean seeds. I'll soak them later and we can plant them together."

Erlang did not refuse. He asked about the price of the bean seeds and offered to pay her on the spot.

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's finish planting first."

After saying that, Cui Zhaozhao went back to the house. She couldn't wait to eat pork ribs rice tonight.

Watching the door of the east room open and close.

The light from the room flashed across his face. Erlang stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.

Silang called out to him, "I'm starving, second brother, let's go back and eat."

Seeing Erlang still standing there, Silang also looked towards the east room and immediately understood what he meant.

"Don't look at it anymore. Next time I go to the city, I'll buy some lamp oil and we can light a lamp at night."

There should indeed be some light at night. He didn't think of it this time, so he must remember to buy it next time.

Erlang glanced at him with a smile, then turned and went back to the west room.

The ribs had been stewed for half the afternoon and fell off the bones with just one sip. Lin first served a bowl and asked Xiaoliu to take it to the upper room.

When he came back, the whole family sat around the table and ate happily, with a lot of bones piled in front of each person.

Seeing his mother put down her chopsticks, Cui Jingwen also put down his chopsticks and took out the silver hairpin that had been warm from his arms.

"Mom, I bought this in the city this morning."

Cui Zhaozhao stared at the silver hairpin in surprise. Could it be that he wanted money to buy this?

Lin wiped her hands, took the silver hairpin, and was also a little surprised.

"Didn't I just buy one a few days ago? I don't go out on weekdays, so one is enough."

Lin really didn't have much interest in jewelry. She had seen jewelry from later generations, and she didn't really like plain hairpins that much. They were all the same after she changed them all. Only the copper hairpin she had last time had some unique and rustic charm.

Cui Jingwen didn't dare look at his mother: "I think the silver one looks good on you, but the copper one is too cheap."

Lin glanced at him sideways: "It was you who bought it even though it's worth less."

Cui Jingwen's heart was filled with tears. He simply took off the copper hairpin from his mother's hair and forcibly replaced it with a silver hairpin.

"Use this hairpin from now on."

After saying this, he took the copper hairpin away.

Mrs. Lin always felt that her son was a little strange today. In her previous life, when she permed her hair and did her nails during the Chinese New Year, her son didn't even bother to look at her. But here he was, caring about what hairpin she used.

Xiaoliu was having a hard time holding it in and buried his head in the bowl.

"The copper hairpin is quite beautiful, why did you take it away?"

Cui Jingwen refused to give it to her no matter what. "It doesn't look good. The more you look at it, the uglier it gets. Mom, please don't wear it anymore."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

Lin couldn't help but look at Cui Zhaozhao. No one could understand why he suddenly became abnormal.

Xiaoliu blinked and shouted silently.

Ask me, ask me quickly.

I know everything!

After dinner, Lin was washing dishes. Xiaoliu was so upset that he kept turning around in circles. Finally, he secretly dragged Cui Zhaozhao into the yard.

If I don't tell this secret, I won't be able to sleep well tonight.

My brother just said not to tell mom, so it should be okay for him to tell my sister secretly.

"Sister, I know why brother doesn't like mother wearing that copper hairpin."

After saying that, he waited eagerly for her to ask further questions.

Seeing his impatience, I knew Xiaoliu had something to say, and it would be hard for him not to say it. Cui Zhaozhao said slowly.

"It probably doesn't look good. I don't think the copper hairpin is that good either. Let's just change it."

Xiaoliu widened his eyes. This was different from what he thought. Shouldn’t his sister chase him and ask him why?

"No, there's a reason! Ask me quickly, sis!"

Cui Zhaozhao was a little embarrassed: "Although I don't really want to hear it, since you said so, then I will listen."

Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to bear this secret alone.

"Because that hairpin was given to me by my father."

After hearing this, Cui Zhaozhao's originally upturned lips dropped instantly. Xiaoliu put his hands on his hips proudly and said, "How about it? Isn't this a big secret?"

Cui Zhaozhao pressed on: "Then how did you know?"

She didn't know how her cheap father's hairpin ended up in her brother's hands.

What I can’t understand even more is why my cheap dad gave my mom a hairpin.

Xiaoliu bit his finger and said, "Because Dad originally asked me to give it to Mom, but my brother saw it and took it away. He also told me that Dad was a bad guy and I couldn't take his things."

It even scared him to tears.

Cui Zhaozhao gritted her teeth. He was really something. He talked very clearly about educating Xiaoliu, but then turned around and said that he bought the hairpin himself and his mother had been wearing it for so long.

He pretended to buy it himself, so wouldn't his cheap dad think too much about it? Really, he doesn't even know where to turn his elbow.

No wonder he insisted on replacing the hairpin.

Cui Zhaozhao was furious, but luckily her mother didn't know.

"Xiao Liu, who else knows about this?"

Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "Just my brother, you, and me."

He really didn't tell anyone else.

Cui Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't tell anyone else about this, and don't tell mother either. Remember?"

Xiaoliu quickly covered her mouth and said, "I won't tell anyone."

Cui Zhaozhao touched his little head.

It’s better not to let her mother know, as she is afraid that her mother will be furious. It’s like receiving a gift from her boyfriend, showing it off to everyone, and then finding out that it was picked out by the mistress.

It’s embarrassing to think about it.

Cui Zhaozhao took Xiaoliu home and almost shouted when she turned her head.

Lin stood at the door holding a basin of water, her face darker than the bottom of a pot.
