The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

When Xu Qingye returned home in the evening, it was already getting dark. Seeing no one in the house, he hurriedly asked, "Mom, isn't Tang'er home yet?"

Jiang brought the food to the table.

"She went back to town. She said she had some business there." She sighed. "She's busy, and you're buried in books all day. I'm worried your wife's run off with someone else."

Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled.

"She won't."

"Of course I know she won't, but there are so many wolves and tigers outside, and your wife is so beautiful, there are probably so many people who are thinking about her." Jiang glanced at her son and handed him the chopsticks.

Her daughter-in-law has been out a lot recently, and she is really worried about her.

The key point is that my son has always had a lukewarm personality. Although the two of them are getting along much closer than before, it seems that they haven't reached that point yet.

As a mother, she could only watch and worry.

I don’t know when I will be able to hold my grandson in my arms.

Xu Qingye didn't say anything else. A thought flashed in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Oh, right." Jiang looked at him. "Your father has been gone for four or five days now, and I'm worried. After Tang'er comes back in a few days, I have to go back to Lushan Village to prevent your father from being constantly goaded into drinking by that evil-hearted Gousheng."

Young people are always thin-skinned.

They always feel a little uncomfortable with their elders around, so they need to spend more time together. However, her son's imperial examination is coming soon, and Tang'er is busy on weekdays. She has to take care of her son's life, so she probably can't stay at home for too long.

No one knows what the youngest son is doing these days. When Xia Ning is at home, he always pesters her to teach him kung fu. As soon as Xia Ning leaves, he starts going out early and coming back late.

It is true that a child cannot be kept when he grows up.

……

During the days Song Yuntang stayed at the farm, he would spend two hours every day at Baicaotang to see patients.

Nowadays, almost everyone in Cile Town knows her name. Upon hearing the news that she is coming to see patients, those ladies who used to be extremely arrogant, regardless of whether they are sick or not, line up outside Baicaotang early in the morning just to show their faces in front of her.

The rest of the time, Song Yuntang was looking for insect eggs on the farm or collecting pepper seeds in the greenhouse.

Looking at the small half basket of insect eggs she had found in the ground, thoughts flashed through her eyes.

Locusts can not only be used as medicine, but can also be eaten directly.

Before the pest outbreak, in order to keep the people alive, perhaps she could encourage everyone to collect locusts and exchange them for food with her.

Not only did the pest problem get solved, but the people could also have food to eat. The collected locusts could be removed of their wings and feet and dried, and then sold to medicinal material wholesalers. Some of the remaining plump ones could be taken to Mingyue Tower and Huajianzui to make new dishes.

In this way, even if the harvest is reduced this year, as long as we work harder, we will not fail to survive the New Year.

After her mind was opened, she felt that she was really smart!

"Uncle Qiao, Uncle Qiao, let me tell you something..."

When Qiao Da and Qiao Er heard her words, surprise flashed in their eyes.

"What are you collecting locusts for?"

"Locusts can be used as medicine and cooked into a dish. They are delicious and nutritious."

The two looked at her strangely.

“Eating bugs?”

When Qiao Er thought of the scene of eating locusts, he felt like vomiting.

"I understand using it as medicine, but cooking it..." he asked uncertainly, "Can you eat this disgusting stuff? Don't poison yourself. You bought this food with real money."

Song Yuntang's face was full of confidence.

"Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao, just spread the word. When the time comes, collect the wings and legs, dry them, and store them. We can take them whenever we need them. But if there's a large-scale locust outbreak, we won't be able to collect them. At that point, the locusts are not suitable for use as medicine or food."

When locusts live together in too dense a group, they will produce a toxic substance, and the locusts at this time are inedible.

After saying that, he handed the basket of locust eggs to Xia Ning and asked her to destroy them.

Now that five granaries have been expanded on the farm, I will have to ask my second brother and Tu Shi to go out of town to buy another batch of grain.

Affected by the disaster in Anyang County, the price of grain in other places has also increased, but it is still cheaper than the price of grain in Yingshan City.

It is not known how widespread the locust plague is. If it is everywhere, food prices will probably continue to rise.

It seems we have to hurry up.

Thinking of this, she went to the wooden shed where rouge was made.

"Big cousin and second cousin, you two should go to the provincial capital now and go with my second brother and Tu Shi to collect some more food from other places."

Song Xiangming and Song Chengren nodded.

"Okay, let's go now."

"You are such a busy man. It's really not easy to see you." After she finished speaking, Jiang Surao went into the wooden shed.

Song Yuntang looked back and a look of joy appeared on his face when he saw the person.

"How did you come!"

Jiang Su Rao smiled and pulled out a red wedding invitation from her sleeve. "Here, I'll personally invite you. Just to give you some face, okay?"

"Ah!" Song Yuntang took it and unfolded it. The wedding invitation was for Jiang Surao and an unfamiliar name. "June 18th, next month."

She looked up at Jiang Surao.

"confirmed?"

Jiang Su Rao nodded, "Confirmed."

She took Song Yuntang's arm and walked out of the house, following her towards the yard.

"Yang Linyuan came to see me at the end of last year, but since I said it was over, it was over. Besides, he couldn't guarantee that I would be the only one in the backyard. Xiao Lang is very good. Although his family background is not so good, he has enough food and clothing. The most important thing is that his parents are loving and kind, and he doesn't have concubines or other messy people in his family."

Although there was a hint of regret in her tone, she seemed to be truly satisfied with the person she was marrying.

Men are afraid to enter the wrong line, women are afraid to marry the wrong man.

Although the Yang family is wealthy, if you are not happy, no matter how much money you have, it cannot wash away the grievances in life. It is better to find someone who can live a peaceful life.

It's a lifetime anyway, so as long as you have enough food and clothing, there is really no need to compromise and marry into a wealthy family.

Song Yuntang glanced in her direction.

"Your satisfaction is more important than anything else."

Jiang Surao listened and leaned her head on her shoulder.

"I was quite sad about Yang Linyuan's situation some time ago. After meeting Xiao Lang a few times, I suddenly figured it out."

Song Yuntang joked.

"Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang, you're so sweet."

Jiang Surao patted her arm unhappily.

"You're annoying, and you're teasing me."

Song Yuntang smiled and asked, "Is the Xiao Lang you mentioned also from our Cile Town?"

Jiang Surao nodded. "His father and my mother are from the same hometown. They have known each other since childhood and know each other very well. His family has property in both the town and the county, but they don't live in the town. My aunt likes quietness, so my uncle did the same as you. He bought a small farmhouse in a good location and built an elegant courtyard for my aunt for the family of five to live in."

"Does he have brothers and sisters?" Song Yuntang asked.

Jiang Su Rao nodded again, "There are two younger sisters below, one fifteen and one twelve. I have met them both. They are both gentle and polite, not powerful characters."

According to the local customs, when my sister gets married in the future and her parents-in-law get older, the young couple will take charge of the family, and the family relationship is indeed not complicated.

"It seems that Mrs. Jiang really takes your matter to heart."

Jiang Surao smiled and said, "That's my biological mother."
