Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 49 What's the point of crying?
I heard that Hu Qiongfang wanted to rent out her family's paddy fields, and her sisters-in-law all wanted it.
The paddy fields here can be used for two crops a year, rice in the spring and wheat in the autumn.
The rice yield per mu can reach 800 kilograms, and the wheat yield can reach over 1,000 kilograms.
After deducting the public grain payment and the food rations for Hu Qiongfang's family, the family can still have several hundred kilograms of rice and more than two thousand kilograms of wheat every year, so it is still very cost-effective to rent them.
However, they usually have a good relationship and will not fall out over these three acres of paddy fields.
After some discussion, Hu Qiongfang finally rented the three acres and four mu of rice field to Zhang Xiufen, whose family was in the most difficult situation.
Zhang Xiufen is the kind of woman who is praised by the older generation in the village for being blessed, but the young wives all feel particularly sympathetic towards her.
Who made her so fertile?
Hu Qiongfang and her generation lived in a good time. The country implemented family planning, and rural people were not allowed to have children even if they wanted to.
Giving birth is like taking one foot into the gate of hell. As a woman, who would want to give birth to children one after another if possible?
Originally, Zhang Xiufen also wanted to follow the crowd and just have a son and a daughter.
At this time, the family planning policy in rural areas is different from that for urban employees.
Working class families can only have one child, regardless of gender.
However, in rural areas, if the first child is a daughter, the policy allows for a second child.
Zhang Xiufen's family probably has a twin gene, as her first child was a pair of twin daughters.
Both of them are girls, and there is no son, so I can only continue to have children.
Fortunately, the second child was finally a son.
Unfortunately, two sons were born at once.
With four children to raise, Zhang Xiufen and her husband were so tired that they could hardly straighten their backs. The grain they grew every year was only enough for the family to eat, and there was no surplus grain to exchange for money.
Hu Qiongfang leased three acres of paddy fields to Zhang Xiufen's family, and no one else had any complaints.
After all, her family has four children to raise, cough~
My scalp tingles just thinking about it.
After seeing off a few good sisters, Hu Qiongfang borrowed a bicycle from a neighbor, took Jiang Tian in the front and Han Miaomiao in the back, and went to the township police station.
The two policemen have returned from the health station.
Malai Tou didn't suffer any vital injuries, but he lost too much blood and needed to stay in the health center for two days.
However, because what he did violated the law, he will have to spend at least a year and a half in jail after his injuries heal. He definitely cannot escape this.
Hu Qiongfang also cooperated with the police station and took a statement.
When we came out, it was almost dark.
Hu Qiongfang quickly rode her bike to take the two children home. When she was about to light a fire to cook, she entered the kitchen and saw that Jiang Cheng had already cooked the rice.
When I opened the lid of the pot, I found a plate of steamed dried loaches, a plate of bacon and dried tofu, three large eggplants, and a plate of steamed peppers with pickled beans.
When she was almost bullied by hooligans, Hu Qiongfang did not cry.
However, looking at the two well-behaved and sensible children, Hu Qiongfang couldn't help but covered her mouth and cried silently.
Jiang Tian was startled, and rushed over, hugged her mother, and comforted her loudly -
"Mom, why are you crying?"
"Shouldn't the ones who should be crying and holding their heads in their hands be Ma Lai Tou's parents?"
“Puff~”
Ms. Hu, who was still sad in the previous second, couldn't cry at all in the next second.
Yes, why is she crying!
The ones who should be crying right now are the lazy guy who is about to go to jail, and his parents who keep saying that they "can't control their son".
It’s your own son, so you don’t care about him, right?
Okay, if you don’t care, the country will naturally take care of it for you.
Hu Qiongfang wiped away her tears, sent her children out to entertain the guests, put on an apron, and started to prepare a few delicious dishes.
Guests are welcome, and this was Han Miaomiao's first time as a guest at home, so Hu Qiongfang naturally couldn't treat her with the usual home-cooked meals.
I specially killed a chicken, cut it into two halves, and used one half to make roast chicken with potatoes, which the kids all loved.
The other half made boiled chicken, which is perfect for summer.
The local chickens raised at home are delicious. After being cooked and cooled, they are hung in the well to be chilled for half a day. Then they are taken out, cut into pieces, and a sour and spicy dipping sauce is prepared. When eaten with this sauce, the chicken skin is chewy and the chicken meat is juicy and especially delicious.
There are more than a dozen eels in the water tank at home. I picked out the big ones and killed them, and made a large plate of braised eel slices.
She also killed a small pot of loaches and made her best dish, loach stewed with tofu.
I originally wanted to stew a turtle, but I ran out of time, so I can only stew it in the evening.
…
Hu Qiongfang cooks very quickly and in less than an hour she has prepared a table full of food.
Han Miaomiao was stunned.
"Aunt Fang, you are too polite. How did I cook so many dishes by myself?"
Han Miaomiao was a little flattered.
She has lived in her grandmother's house since she was a child. Although it is her own home and her parents pay for her and her brother's food every month, her grandmother is reluctant to cook these delicious dishes.
Their family usually lives like any other family in the village, eating whatever is available in the vegetable garden.
Only when my parents come back will grandma be willing to kill chickens and buy meat.
When cooking, you rarely even see eggs.
Han Miaomiao was not being overly suspicious. She always felt that every time her parents came back, her grandmother was especially kind to her and her brother.
After my parents left, the meals at home returned to normal.
Jiang Tian pushed her to sit down and advised her carelessly: "Don't worry about eating. Don't be fooled by the large amount of fish and meat on the table. In fact, you didn't spend any money. They are all from your own home."
“This chicken was raised by my mother.”
"My mother and I caught these loaches and eels ourselves."
Hu Qiongfang personally served a bowl of chicken soup to the three children.
The chicken leg was given to the guest Han Miaomiao.
Jiang Tian got the chicken wings with wing roots.
Jiang Cheng is a large piece of chicken breast.
She picked up a piece of chicken neck and chewed it slowly.
The Jiang family eats and drinks to their heart's content and lives a peaceful life.
A dozen miles away, on the provincial road, Han Miaomiao's uncle-in-law, Wang Fengshou, had already fallen into the trap...
Wang Fengshou had long thought of coming to his elder brother's store to help.
Everyone in the village said that Han Dajun and his wife made a lot of money by frying snacks on the provincial road.
No matter who makes the fried dough sticks or buns, they are not as delicious as those made by Han Dajun and his wife.
Everyone praised the couple's craftsmanship as unique in the village.
Wang Fengshou mentioned this to his wife several times, asking her to tell her brother not to just focus on making money for himself, but to also take care of his sister and brother-in-law.
But Han Dajun and his wife just refused to respond.
Wang Fengshou targeted Han Miaomiao not just because he was lustful.
Han Miaomiao is indeed pure and lovely, like a flower bud about to bloom, making people feel itchy just looking at her.
However, when Wang Fengshou thought about how Han Dajun and his wife treated their two children like their own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a vicious desire for revenge .
I told you two to be selfish and not help me make money!
Wait until I personally destroy your most beloved daughter and make Han Miaomiao a slut known by everyone in the neighborhood, and then see if you can still be proud in front of me?
