The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Father Yang saw the young men nod, then continued:

"Since Brother Lu doesn't intend to return the firewood, you should return the extra copper coins you collected!"

This time, the young men did not hesitate.

They all stepped forward quickly and handed the extra copper coin to Lu Tianming.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yang's father planned to say goodbye and leave.

Lu Tianming hurriedly called him:

"Brother Yang, it's rare that you have some free time today. Let's go inside and have some tea and chat."

After hearing this, Yang's father quickly refused:

"Forget it, forget it. I plan to send these young men back and give them some instructions. I won't drink this tea anymore."

Having said that, Father Yang led a few young men out.

In fact, he had already talked about this to each of these companies before coming here, and bringing it up now was just an excuse.

After all, tea is a precious thing at this time.

Just a pot of tea would probably cost a lot of money.

He had tasted tea once several years ago and didn't think it was very delicious, but it was ridiculously expensive.

Thinking of this, Father Yang led a few young men to the gate of the courtyard, but suddenly heard a voice calling him from behind.

"Village Chief Yang, I have something to trouble you with. I enjoyed the dried vegetables that Yongyan sent me earlier. I'd like to ask if there are other families in the village who make dried vegetables. I'm willing to pay for them."

But it was Tian Fu Niang at the front of the crowd who spoke.

After hearing this, Father Yang continued:

“Almost every household makes this dried vegetable. In winter when there are few vegetables, people just eat this.

I'll go back later and ask Yongyan to bring some more. It's just some dried vegetables, why bother asking about money? "

When Tian Fu Niang heard that he was going to give it for free, she hesitated.

If she had been in Lujia Village before, she would have definitely agreed to it.

But this is Linshan Village. Thinking of what Lu Tianming said before, she waved her hand and said:

"That won't work, we have to deal with each case separately.

Besides, I have to buy a lot, so I can’t always take advantage of you, right?”

After hearing this, Lu Tianming rarely looked up to his third aunt.

You know, every time I went back to the village, I could hear my sister-in-law muttering that this aunt was taking advantage of me again.

It's either that he borrows a handful of sorghum today and doesn't return it, or that he uses a working ox tomorrow and doesn't feed it, letting the ox come back hungry.

Now, this person is a little different.

Before Yang's father could answer, the old village chief's wife beside him also spoke:

"Village Chief Yang, please ask for me. I also plan to buy several dozen kilograms of dried vegetables."

Father Yang recognized that this was Lu Tianming's mother and spoke more politely:

"You're too polite, Auntie. It's not a big deal. Every household in the village has a lot of dried vegetables. I'll pick them out when I get home and ask them to send the best ones to you."

The old village chief's wife smiled and nodded at him.

At this time, a young man standing behind Yang's father couldn't help but stepped forward and said:

"Dear uncles and aunts, I have a lot of dried vegetables at home.

My mother is very careful in her work. Every time before drying, she picks out the bad ones and washes them thoroughly before drying to ensure that they taste good.

If you want it, I'll send it to you later."

As he said this, afraid that they might not believe him, he poked the person next to him and said:

"Ergou, tell me, are the vegetables my mother dries very good?"

Ergou nodded hurriedly, fearing that he was too late and would delay his good brother from making money.

Then, he thought of his own dried vegetables and said hurriedly:

"The dried vegetables in my house are all fresh vegetables that are dried in the sun."

The old village head's wife heard this and said with a smile:

"Okay, young men, if you say it's good, I'll believe you. Then when you're free, send it over and let me take a look. If it's good, I'll take it."

Tianfu Niang was afraid that she would not be able to buy good ones, so she quickly said:

"If it's good, I'll also collect over a hundred pounds!"

She thought of buying groceries while eating a few days ago.

Like when they spent the winter in Lujia Village before, her family used to eat a small amount of grain and dried vegetables.

The dried vegetables she has this year won't last her long.

Although Yongyan had sent a lot of things over before, there was not much left for each family to distribute.

Before, they went to the city to buy food, and the price was not cheap.

In comparison, it is more economical to buy more dried vegetables and eat them with grains.

Having raised her son for so many years, Tian Fu's mother considers herself to be someone who knows how to manage life.

With these two families taking the lead, other families in the queue also asked to buy.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing also asked for less.

When Father Yang saw this, he knew that they would have to buy a lot of dried vegetables, and he was happy for the villagers.

Farmers in the village have been farming all year round, and it is very difficult for them to make money. Now is a rare opportunity.

Thinking of this, Father Yang decided to go to each family one by one to spread the news.

Brother Lu and his group were very honest, so he had to remind them again to make sure that the villagers brought out the good dried vegetables.

Father Yang said goodbye to everyone in the yard and left. After leaving the courtyard, he said to the young men behind him:

"Let's go back!"

Turning around, several young men ran out quickly, responding as they ran, and soon ran away.

When Father Yang saw this, he knew that these young men were in a hurry to go back to get some dried vegetables, so he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and scolded them:

"Looking like they've grown up, they're still a bunch of half-grown kids!"

As he spoke, Father Yang walked towards the village.

The yard where Lu Tianming is.

Throughout the morning, villagers came from time to time with dried vegetables.

The villagers were worried that they would not buy them, so they picked the best dried vegetables they brought.

When the people in the team saw it, they all bought it.

It was around lunchtime when the yard finally became quiet.

At this time, every family has prepared their meal and is ready to eat.

Lu Qingqing was chewing on a piece of bread when she heard someone coming into the yard.

"Is Brother Lu here? I'm Yongyan's second uncle. I heard you were collecting dried vegetables, so I brought some over!"

After hearing this, Qin Lang frowned and whispered to Lu Qingqing:

"Daya, that annoying person is here again."

Lu Qingqing put down the pancake in her hand, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door. She saw Yang Dehua holding a dirty cloth bag.

At this time, Lu Tianming also came out of the house.

Seeing Yang Dehua, he forced a faint smile on his face and replied:

"Brother Yang, you're here to sell dried vegetables too!"

Yang Dehua smiled and nodded quickly:

"Yes, yes. I heard from the villagers that you collect dried vegetables here. I happened to have some at home, so I brought them here."

Lu Tianming nodded, turned to Lu Shuhe beside him and said:

"Shuhe, go get that piece of cloth, pour out the dried vegetables and take a look. If they are okay, take them."

When Yang Dehua heard that they still wanted to check, a flash of embarrassment crossed his face.

Only after Lu Shuhe spread the cloth on the floor of the room did Yang Dehua slowly move over step by step.

During this time, he also avoided Lu Shuhe's hand that was about to take over.

When he reached the cloth, he carefully pinched a corner of the bag and slowly poured out the dried vegetables inside.

After the dried vegetables were poured out, he first picked them up twice, then took out two dried vegetables and said:

"Look, my dried vegetables are not bad, just take them."
