Wang Family’s Peasant Woman: Raising kids and Making wealth

After lunch, we had a brown rice, and Gu Chunzhu took the shrimp and stir-fried it in a pot with pork oil. It burned into soup, and added some salted water and boiled it all over a sea bowl.

Both children had a large bowl of brown rice, mixed with shrimp soup, peeled shrimp and eaten extremely sweet.

Gu Chunzhu was just some unfortunate woman who had difficulty cooking rice. There was only a tiny can of bottom pork oil in the house. When she cooked shrimp, she dug a little bit of silk. If she could afford heavy oil, this fried river shrimp smelled absolutely delicious and even swallowed her tongue.

After lunch, Gu Chunzhu took a fine bamboo pole and barrel and prepared to go fishing for shrimp.

“Mother, Ann also wants to go fishing for shrimp. The shrimp is delicious!” Ann ran out of the house and looked up at Chun Bamboo's face with her small head, her eyes as big as purple grapes blinking.

Listening to his little daughter's soft and sticky voice, Gu Chunzhu's heart was about to melt. He knelt down and pinched Ann's little face. He nodded: "Okay, then take Ann to help. ”

As he was about to take Ann's hand, Gu Chunzhu felt a sight behind him.

She turned her head and saw Xiaocheng standing beside the door frame, her delicate eyebrows revealing a slight desire. The little man's lips tightened into a line, and she was stunned.

“Xiaocheng, my mother needs to hold my sister. I don't have any more wooden barrels. Please help me.” Gu Chunzhu lowered his head and laughed.

Little things came up and I opened my arms and hugged an empty barrel.

“Is the bucket sinking?” Gu Chunzhu took Xiao An and asked Xiaocheng.

“Not heavy.” Xiaocheng switched positions to hug the barrel and accelerate his footsteps.

The three mothers and children walked to the river, and no one washed their clothes by the dark side at noon.

Gu Chunzhu walked to the big blue stone fishing for shrimp in the morning. Just above the big blue stone was a great acacia tree. The crown unfolded like an umbrella. It spread over their heads and covered the sun for them.

“Right here.” Gu Chun bamboo tray leg sits on a large turquoise stone.

This is a treasure land, and the winter sun is hot, river shrimp like to stay in the shade, maybe catch some more river shrimp in the afternoon than in the morning.

Xiaocheng and Ann didn't make a scene. She watched Gu Chunzhu fishing for shrimp. From the time she caught the first shrimp, she got excited and went to the shrimp hook faster and faster. Both children were eager to try it.

Gu Chunzhu also let them try it. Both children were very patient and did not delay the shrimp fishing process at all.

Until evening, a wooden shrimp was caught in the foot, enough to cook six or seven bowls. Gu Chunzhu poured half of the water in the barrel before moving the barrel home.

Put the barrel in the stove room, Gu Chunzhu lived in the vegetable area.

Sister-in-law Fu is a thick Daoist. She received the shrimp from Gu Chunzhu. The vegetable leaves she gave were all crisp and tender. She looked at the extremely strong vitality. Gu Chunzhu carefully identified them as spinach and potato seeds.

In addition to these dishes, Fu sister-in-law also gave two garlic seeds. Peeling them is a grain of garlic petals. Planting garlic is simple. Just put the garlic petals directly into the soil.

There is also a chives, which are planted directly, growing more and more in the land, and leeks. Some family members basically gave it. Gu Chunzhu wrote down the love of Sister Fu.

Cultivating vegetables is not bad for Chunbu. After a long life, they are planted. It is also dark. For dinner, brown rice porridge and boiled river shrimp are served.

Gu Chunzhu knew that the board was fat, so he snapped some food. Plus, she was tired and sore from growing vegetables today. She washed her children's face and feet early and went to bed.

She had to feel sorry for herself. In ancient life, she really couldn't bear to think about it. Suddenly, she was going to starve and freeze. Gu Chunzhu soon fell asleep.

She had a dream. She dreamed of selling river shrimp for a huge price. She also built a large tile house for Su family and fed the two children strong...

The next morning Gu Chunzhu woke up.

She deliberately lightened the motion or woke Xiaocheng up. Gu Chunzhu compared his index finger to his lip and made a “shush” motion.

Little nodded and didn't make a sound. He dressed and walked out of the house with Gu Chunzhu.

“I'm going to sell river shrimp in town now, you bring Ann home, and if you sell a good price, I'll buy you good food.” Gu Chunzhu squeezed a smiley face at Xiaocheng.

When she saw her little nod, she put the barrel in her back basket, put it on her back and took half a cold potato and headed toward town.

By the time Gu Chunzhu walked into town, the sun was already hanging high in the sky.

The streets are extraordinarily lively, there are a lot of vendors on the left and right side of Stoneboard Road, there are live chicken ducks, there are pork vendors, the most of them are vegetables vendors.

“Sir, can I sell it here?” Gu Chunzhu looked at a vegetable seller who was quite kind, and walked up to him and asked with a smile on his face.

“Sister-in-law, the stalls in this town don't matter, you stay here.” The vegetable seller took off the dry cigarette pole in his mouth and looked at it curiously in Gu Chunzhu's back basket, "what did you sell? ”

“Shrimp in the river.” Gu Chunzhu listened to the old man and put the back basket down. The bucket was right in front of him. The fresh shrimp was squeezed in the wood bucket.

Grandpa really looked at the probe a few more times. "This stuff is not easy to grab. How are you going to sell it? ”

“The average large carp is five cents a pound. I'll sell five cents of shrimp. If I don't have a scale, I'll sell it by bowl. A small bowl is almost one pound.” Gu Chunzhu saw the master selling vegetables without a scale. The scale is made of iron, and the price is not low. Normal vegetables sellers cannot afford it. Like cabbage, these are sold in pieces.

“It's a great price, cough... but you have to drink it when you sell it for the first time.” The vegetable seller smoked another cigarette and was choked. He coughed for a while, thinking about reminding Gu Chunzhudao.

“Thank you, sir.” Gu Chunzhu sincerely thanked him.

Watching people come and go, she was a little timid, thinking of the two children at home, she took a deep breath and shouted: “Fresh shrimp, live jumping shrimp, some people look no, cheap to sell, only five cents a bowl. ”

This beep made the surrounding vendors have to come and watch the buzz.

Gu Chunzhu and the others in the street opened the crowd and reached out in front of Gu Chunzhu's eyes. “Newcomers, you haven't paid yet. ”

“Pay?” Gu Chunzhu looked at the man in his robust suit with some surprise.

“Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you, we have 15 cents a month, half a month is 10 cents a day.” The master of vegetables scratched his sparse hair.

Turns out she still has to pay the money. Gu Chunzhu's heart is sinking. This money is going out before it comes in. She is a little unhappy.

“Then I'll pay you a month.” Gu Chunzhu summed it up. Naturally, five cents a month is the cheapest price. This shrimp can be fished in the river every day. It may take a long time to set up stalls.

The man in charge of the street took the money and left satisfied.
