V1.Chapter 13

Liu Fen's hand is so clever.

Xia Xiaolan dictated that she could make it up by looking for some straw.

Liu Yong saw that Xia Xiaolan had the power to act and ignored her. After eating, he went out to drain water. Some rice fields still store water. Before threshing millet, drain the water in the fields and start harvesting in two days.

Sometimes there are other harvests in the paddy field, such as loach and Monopterus albus, and crucian carp with long palms in the field... These are wild goods sought after by later generations, but the treatment is careless at this time. Crucian carp is small and spiny. It's too troublesome to eat. Loach and Monopterus albus need heavy oil to taste good. Use precious oil to eat these two things?

It's not delicious to cook casually. Earthy smell is a big problem.

Xia Xiaolan sighed that what a good meat with high protein and low fat was not appreciated by diners in the 1980s.

Xia Xiaolan thought it was a way to make money at first. Her eyes were shining. Liu Yong said that the loach could not sell at a price, and the dried loach was only a few cents a kilo. Anyway, the market price was no more than a dime... It was not as expensive as an egg!

"This thing is dirty and smelly. You'd better toss your eggs!"

Liu Yong grabbed a crucian carp and threw it into the barrel.

"Uncle, don't waste crucian carp. Cook more crucian carp soup for Taotao. Children grow taller and get less sick!"

Liu Yong was stunned. "Where did you hear that?"

Xia Xiaolan thought, isn't this common sense?

Forget it, there was no common sense in '83. She lied with her eyes open: "I saw it in the book."

Don't ask me which book I read. I really can't answer this.

Afraid of Liu Yong's questioning, Xia Xiaolan ran away with her little cousin.

The villagers who helped Liu Yong breathe heavily.

Xia Xiaolan looks so good. She squats at the edge of the field at will. Generally, the opposite sex dare not look at her more - Liu Yong used to be a scoundrel. Who dares to touch his niece in Qijing village is the lack of heart when she is full.

Liu Yong wiped the sweat on his neck and stared at the people around him:

"I tell you, who's not open-minded about my niece? I know I'm going to kill him."

The villagers were wronged, "brother Yong, that's my niece generation. I'm sure I don't dare to have any ideas..."

Liu Yong threw the bucket: "just because you talk so much, catch the fish quickly. Didn't you hear Xiaolan say that children should drink more crucian carp soup!"

……

Xia Xiaolan led her little cousin around Qijing village.

Qijing village is a place with abundant water resources, and the reed marshes in Dahe village have been spreading here. The white reed in Anqing county was famous in ancient times. Reed resources were readily available. Xia Xiaolan didn't have the idea of reed weaving. For one thing, the timing is inappropriate, and for another, the woven Market in Anqing county has long been saturated.

But reed marshes can obviously not only provide weaving materials, but also a habitat for wild ducks and water chickens.

For Xia Xiaolan, it's just waving money... Protecting the ecology. Let's wait until she has enough food and clothing! Compared with those who made a fortune by road robbery, her means of making money has been very clean.

Taotao walked ahead bravely. Xia Xiaolan was what he showed off. No sister was as good-looking as Xia Xiaolan.

The busy farming season is approaching, and the hot sun can't stop the hormones emitted by the young students in Qijing village.

Greet Taotao one by one:

"Taotao, your cousin is here?"

"Taotao, go fishing with brother?"

"Taotao..."

His mouth is Taotao, but his eyes are aiming at Xia Xiaolan. This circuitous chat-up also made these young people blush and made Xia Xiaolan feel that most young people in the 1980s were still very innocent.

She has no idea about these innocent young people.

If you can't fill your stomach, you can't enjoy the little fresh meat.

Xia Xiaolan has been to Qijing village before. Her name is as famous as thunder among young people, but Xia Xiaolan has always been very arrogant and unwilling to pay attention to those who pay attention to her... Now, she plans to continue to maintain the policy of the original owner. She is not interested in these young people, but in children who can play with Taotao. Children over the age of 10 basically have to help their families, and more than half of the labor force is 13 or 4 years old. Xia Xiaolan's target group is under the age of 10. These children are skinny, fall resistant and easy to coax.

After two rounds, Xia Xiaolan finally caught the target character. Several children older than Taotao came running and smiled: "Taotao, my mother said your cousin hit a fool?"

Xia Xiaolan has black lines all over her head.

These smelly children are so unfriendly than the young students who are confused by her beauty.

Expose it when you meet!

Taotao refused, "I'm not stupid, sister Xiaolan! You're talking nonsense! "

Xia Xiaolan sneered and took out two cents and stuffed it into her little cousin: "take out the canteen to buy something to eat. My sister is tired and waiting for you under the tree."

The smelly children were immediately envious.

Who says Taotao's cousin has become a fool if she can buy food for money?

Naive and simple children, where have you played Xia Xiaolan. When Taotao comes back from buying sugar, everyone is swallowing.

Xia Xiaolan took the opportunity to say, "do you want sugar?"

Nod together.

"Then change it with something. Taotao is my cousin. You are not. You call me stupid."

The leading child swallowed hard. "Sister Xiaolan, what can I take for sugar?"

This is the fastest one to turn the rudder. He has changed his name with Taotao.

"You know the wild duck eggs in the reed marsh. Three wild duck eggs can be exchanged for 20 cents. You can buy sugar with the money. However, two people must go together to find duck eggs. They can't go to the river with water! "

"Really?"

"The liar is a dog."

It's true or false. Just give it a try.

Of course, there are more than three duck eggs in the county. If you don't make money, Xia Xiaolan is busy!

Asking children to help find wild duck eggs makes use of the cheapest labor force, and the labor cost is compressed to the extreme. Xia Xiaolan thought that she was really promising. She was reborn in 83 and thought of squeezing child labor.

Twenty cents is very attractive to children.

These children were born in the 1970s. In rural areas, the lucky money given to their children during the new year is only a few cents, one more yuan. With this money to buy sugar and firecrackers, you can play in your pocket for a long time.

More than an hour later, when a nine year old girl with her sister really picked up more than a dozen wild duck eggs for Xia Xiaolan, Xia Xiaolan checked that the eggs were good and really fulfilled her promise. She also doesn't bully some children. They don't know how to calculate money.

"You took 16 eggs. This is one yuan and seven cents."

The change was exchanged from the village canteen.

The little girl held the money, and her excited hand didn't know where to put it. The younger child drooled and read "sugar". The little girl took her sister home for more than one yuan. She certainly didn't dare to spend it without the permission of adults.

Xia Xiaolan stopped her:

"If you have eggs at home, you can sell them to me. I live in Taotao's house, but I have to ask your adult to sell eggs."

Xia Xiaolan's Boy Scout swept away the nearby reed marshes in two hours. Wild ducks quack and flutter their wings in the reed marsh. They also find hatched ducklings and ask Xia Xiaolan if she wants them.

Now that there is a place to raise ducks, Xia Xiaolan is going to take it back to kill time for Liu Fen.

She collected more than 90 wild duck eggs.

As for whether anyone asked her to sell eggs, I'll know in the evening.

When Xia Xiaolan came home, she found that her uncle had caught half a bucket of loach, many Monopterus albus, and more than ten kilograms of crucian carp in the rice field, all of which were kept in the water tank at the root of the wall.

"Keep them for a few days and wait until they spit out the dirty things in their stomachs!"

Li Fengmei stewed radish with stick bone. The yard was full of fragrance. No one will come to visit during dinner. It's not easy for everyone to eat something good. Don't pretend to be confused and come to visit at this time.

Liu Fen has made a lot of straw baskets under the eaves.

"Xiaolan, look, can you make it up?"

Why not? Wild duck eggs and eggs are just right. Taotao held his chest proudly. "Sister Xiaolan bought a lot of duck eggs. She also bought me sugar!"

Li Fengmei heard and laughed in the kitchen.

Xia Xiaolan used to be impatient with Taotao. This child is the lifeblood of Li Fengmei. Xia Xiaolan is kind to Taotao. Why don't she like being a mother?

For a time, the atmosphere of the whole family was relaxed.

Xia Xiaolan thinks that this day is a journey, and her decision to leave Dahe village is absolutely right!
