Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Although Qing Ning was unhappy about it, he still had to eat it.

There aren't many fishermen in the village, and usually they pick the big ones to sell. These two fish today are quite big.

Everyone was served a bowl of soup, and Chen Changjiang gave the fish from the belly to Qing Ning: "Eat more, it will replenish your body."

Qingning took the bowl and said thank you with a smile: "Well, thank you, father."

"It's so hot, so hot, huh~~~" Qingyu drank it so quickly that she burned her tongue. She was panting and tears were coming out.

Tan came in and saw him like this, and scolded him: "Who rushed to drink it with you? It's just out of the pot, don't you know how to wait? You got burned in your haste. Let me see."

"It's okay, it's okay, Mom. I have thick skin, I didn't get burned." After saying that, he didn't forget to smile foolishly at Tan.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw how funny he was.

After Tan sat down, Qing Ning asked, "Mom, I saw that we dug up so many bamboo shoots at home. Are we selling them?"

There is no custom among rural families to not talk while eating or to not talk while sleeping.

"Yes, this is the time when spring bamboo shoots are fresh and tender. Pick some good ones and sell them in town while they are in season. Keep some at home and make dried bamboo shoots so that you will have something to eat in winter," said Tan.

Then he asked Chen Changjiang, "By the way, Erlang, are you done with the work in the fields?"

"Almost done. The grass is lush at this time of year, so working harder won't affect the crops." He drank a sip of soup and continued, "The work in the fields is almost done. I plan to go out and look for work in the next few days."

Tan nodded in agreement: "Well, go ahead."

"Father, can I go with you to find a job?" Qingwu suddenly spoke.

The two were stunned at first, but then they understood. Seeing the child so sensible, they felt very comforted.

But he refused: "You are still young, and your family doesn't need you to go out to earn money. You stay at home and help your mother with work, and take care of your younger brothers and sisters."

Seeing that his parents disagreed, Chen Qingwu didn't say anything else and just buried his head in eating.

The two looked at each other helplessly. Life was difficult and because of their youngest daughter's serious illness, the family had no money left.

It is a great relief for them that their children are sensible.

After dinner, Father Chen went out, and Mrs. Tan also went out with the two boys.

Qing Ning also wanted to go, but not only did Mrs. Tan not allow it, her own body also did not allow it. After dinner, she felt tired and had to go back to rest.

She slowly woke up when she heard voices in the yard, got dressed and got out of bed, and saw that it was Tan and her brothers and sisters picking bamboo shoots in the yard.

After calling someone, Tan put some more clothes on her and moved a stool for her to sit on and watch.

Several people separated the bamboo shoots they had picked up according to their quality.

The fresh and tender ones are put aside to be sold in town tomorrow, and the rest are directly peeled, cut into long strips and spread on bamboo mats to dry.

Qing Ning also wanted to help, but Tan directly refused.

Seeing that Tan disagreed, Qingning moved a small stool, sat next to the bamboo mat, and helped to lay out the bamboo shoots.

When Tan saw this, she did not stop her and let her go.

Although the bamboo shoots should be boiled in hot water to remove the bitter taste of oxalic acid, there is nothing wrong with the addition of lime.

Not to mention anything else, firewood and water need to be carried back from outside every day.

While he was busy, Chen's father came in from outside. When Tan saw him, she asked directly, "You're back. How was your interview?"

"I just went to see my eldest cousin, and he said that his family wanted to renovate the old house and was looking for someone to help."

When Tan heard this, she said happily, "Why don't you go and ask?"

Chen Changjiang laughed and said, "Of course I don't know this. Big brother immediately took me to find the old house's steward. When the steward saw that it was Big brother's people, he immediately made the appointment. The day's wages are fifteen cents, and lunch is provided."

After hearing this, everyone in the family was very happy. The salary was not low, the job didn't have to be too far from home, and they provided a meal.

"That's great, but you have to be diligent and efficient," Tan instructed, then asked, "When do you start work?"

"We'll go tomorrow," said Father Chen as he stepped forward to help pick up the things.

After collecting all of this, Chen Changjiang said, "You and your daughter can't carry all these bamboo shoots and firewood. Go ask Erdie's family tomorrow to borrow a cart to go to town."

"I see. You don't have to worry about the family matters."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Tan got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Although we usually have two meals a day, there is a lot of work at this time, and the children are also a little hungry and can't stand two meals a day.

I can't eat much solid rice, so I still have to make some dinner, even if it's just soup, it can warm my body.

Tan scooped up some wheat flour and mixed it with water until it became flocculent. She then went to cut a handful of leeks, washed them, and chopped them.

After the water in the pot boils, slowly sprinkle the flocculent wheat flour into it, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

When the color gradually becomes transparent and floats to the surface, add a few drops of oil and a few grains of salt, then pour in the chopped chives and simmer for a few times.

Before it gets completely dark, I call my family to eat quickly to save some lamp oil.

The watery dumpling soup paired with early spring leeks tastes really delicious.

After dinner, the family washed up and went to bed early.
