BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28: cooperate
So Song Xi admired the children of this era very much. Looking at the two children in front of her, she also felt a little distressed, and then her eyes lit up, "Xiaoshu, do you know snails?"
It's summer now, and it's the season to drink beer and eat crayfish and snails. Thinking of this, Song Xi couldn't help but want to drool, really want to eat it!
There are also snails, sixtieth, crayfish and other seafood in the aquatic product section of her supermarket. It's just that she can't eat such heavy-tasting food now, but this does not prevent her from helping these two children within her ability!
"Auntie, that doesn't taste good." Zhou Xiaoshu thought Song Xi wanted to eat snails, so he said hastily.
"Xiaoshu, I spend money to harvest snails, one penny and five catties, I will take as much as you pick up, how about it? But you have to wash the mud and control the moisture, is that okay?" She can't eat now, You can wait until your health is better before eating!
Although she has it in the supermarket, the things in the supermarket are not inexhaustible, and she will be able to eat it up one day, and she can't buy it from Hyundai, but if she can find a 'supplier' in this era 'It's also pretty good!
Thinking of this, Song Xi couldn't help laughing wildly in her heart, she is really too smart, doing this can not only help Xiaoshu Xiaohua improve her life, but also buy what she wants at the lowest price.
It's just perfect.
Hearing the words 'one penny and five catties', Zhou Xiaoshu stood up in shock, and looked at Song Xi in disbelief. Although the children in the village had no chance to touch money, everyone was extremely sensitive to money, because They know that only money can buy food and clothing.
"Little aunt, there are a lot of snails in the paddy field, and no one eats them at all. If you want to eat, I can pick up a basket for you. It costs five catties for a penny. It's too expensive, and the coarse grain outside only costs a few cents." It’s worth a catty!” Food is such a precious thing, and it only sells for a few cents outside, but it turns out that there are so many snails that no one eats, and the little aunt actually pays five catties for one penny?
Auntie is a little silly or really doesn’t understand?
Song Xi stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Xiaoshu who was a little excited, "Xiaoshu, you don't want to help my little aunt with such a small favor, then don't come to visit my little aunt anymore, and she won't bother you when she comes."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohua's eyes turned red with fear. She has no friends, and no one likes her. The new aunt from the village doesn't dislike her. Full of good feelings, she was really afraid that her little aunt would really ignore her.
"Auntie, I am willing to help, but I am afraid that Auntie will suffer." Seeing that Song Xi misunderstood what he meant, Zhou Xiaoshu hastily explained that although he has no money to study, a ten-year-old child is a bit sensible.
"My little aunt doesn't feel that I'm at a disadvantage. Not only can I eat snails, but I can also make friends with you two. On the contrary, my little aunt feels that she has made a profit!" Song Xi reached out and rubbed Zhou Xiaohua's hair, and then said, "Then we will It’s settled, in the future, when you have free time, you can help me pick up snails, wash them to control the moisture, and then send them over when it’s dark, don’t tell others, do you understand? Xiaohua, can you keep a secret?”
"Yes." The two children readily agreed.
If you have money, you can buy food and fill your stomach. They are young but not stupid. How could they tell others?
The snails are in the paddy fields, and the water in the paddy fields can submerge their ankles at most, so she can safely let the two children pick them up. As for crayfish and snails, most of them are in the river, she dare not let the children go, or something will happen. She will die of guilt, so let's put the crayfish and snails aside for now! When she recovered, she used a lobster net to net in the river.
Anyway, crayfish can be eaten until October, and crabs can be eaten after October, while snails are available all year round. The snail is different. In winter, the snail hides in the mud and is hard to find.
"Then little aunt is here to thank you first!" Song Xi gave the two children two big white rabbit toffees.
Ordinary families are patriarchal, boys are raised pampered and domineering, everything goes into the boy's mouth, girls can't eat any good food, and these two children don't fight or grab, it can be seen that the two children The feelings are very deep.
The two children sat with Song Xi under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree for a while and then left. The two of them still have a lot of things to do when they get home, otherwise their father who loves to beat others will be rude to them.
Even if Dad likes to beat people, they have nowhere to go, they can only stay here, and I don’t know where Mom is, will she come back to pick them up, but probably not, a woman, even if she remarries, Presumably life is not easy, how could her husband's family agree to her picking up the first child?
Now the little aunt has given them a way out, and they all want to take good care of it.
Zhou Yi came back with a basket of mushrooms on his back. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Song Xi lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. He was so flustered that he hurried over and shook her shoulder worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law..."
"Brother Yi, are you back?" Song Xi opened his eyes in a daze, saw the worried handsome face in front of him, covered his mouth with his hand, and yawned heavily, "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy."
"Why don't you go back to the room to rest when you're sleepy?" Zhou Yi picked Song Xi up from the bamboo chair and sent her back to the room to rest.
Sending Song Xi into the room, Zhou Yicai came out to tidy up the mushrooms, prepared the food for dinner, and put the rest in the dustpan, intending to dry them into dried mushrooms and save them for later eating.
The sun is very strong in this season, as long as it is exposed to the sun for a few hours, it is not a problem to store it for several months.
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? Come over to eat when you're hungry." Song Xi just woke up and sat on the bed to refresh herself, when she heard Zhou Yi's voice, she turned to look at the door, and met his sincere and caring eyes , feel very warm.
"Okay, I'll be here in a while." Song Xi simply stroked her two braids, tidied up her clothes, and went out for dinner. Zhou Yi had already brought the dinner to the table under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. After the meal was finished, I made her a cup of malted milk, knowing that she doesn't like too sweet drinks, so I added half a spoonful of malted milk, which should be nutritious too!
There are two dishes for dinner, a mushroom and egg soup, and a fried sweet potato stick with bacon. Under Song Xi's guidance that day, Zhou Yi found that the sweet potato stick was very tender and delicious, so he fried some more tonight.
It’s delicious, but it’s too troublesome to deal with, because you have to tear off the skin one by one. In fact, no one in the village eats this. They wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested. The sweet potato vines and sweet potato stems are all cattle rations. .
