The leisurely life of rebirth

At almost noon, my grandma came back from the neighbor's house and went into the kitchen with Fang Monan to work on lunch. My mother wanted to help, but my aunt and grandma kicked her out, pulled her out, and kicked her out.

Mr. Lin and his father were having fun in his room, playing chess.

My aunt told my mother, "Don't go. The kitchen now belongs to our mother and Nan Nan, and no one can enter."

"Oh! Then let's take out the fabric and make another dress for Nan Nan. I think one dress is not enough." My mother was dragged into the house by her aunt with doubts. She had to make two more coats in winter, and the corduroy was not enough.

Wearing jackets, corduroy pants, and children's clothes are very simple, and my mother can make them in an afternoon.

"Okay! It's still a while before lunch time, just in time to cut it." The aunt nodded hurriedly and responded.[

In fact, cooking is very simple for Fang Monan now. He has a spacious kitchen. As soon as he has an idea, a table of meals is quickly prepared. The rest of the time he and his grandma stay in the kitchen chatting.

"Grandma, have you thought about where the kitchen cover will be?" Fang Monan was in the space, which did not affect the conversation with grandma.

"Yeah! I've thought about it, and I'll just build it in the corridor leading from our north room to the backyard. The space there is big enough. There are more stoves, which can also benefit our north room and Mr. Lin's main room. This way

You won't get cold in the winter. You have to discuss with your dad what to do specifically. He is in the construction team, so he should understand this." This was the plan that my grandma came up with after thinking about it in her mind. "Our house

There is a fire pit inside, so don’t be afraid. Winter is coming soon. If those two rooms are warmed up, it will be easier for you to study."

"Yeah! Let's think about it during lunch." Fang Monan also thought this was a good idea. "By the way, grandma asked my dad to tidy up the backyard. The autumn harvest has passed and the weather is getting colder. Let's plant some greenhouses.

The food is ready."

"What are the greenhouse vegetables?" Grandma asked doubtfully.

"Oh! What I mean is to plant some greenhouse vegetables, such as cucumbers, leeks, tomatoes, spinach, rape and the like. I have never done this in detail, but it is quite simple. It's just strips and plastic film. It's cheap.

The open space in our backyard doesn’t cost much.”

"That's it. Build adobe walls on each side, about two or three feet high, and then use strong large strips to build a shelf..." Fang Monan came out of the space and drew an arc shape on the ground with a branch.

.

"Then cover it with plastic film. Although the temperature is low in winter, it doesn't rain often. There is enough sunshine. The greenhouse can absorb the temperature of the sun. The temperature inside the greenhouse is higher than outside. Cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks, spinach, etc. can all grow...

…You can almost eat it after the winter solstice.” Nowadays, in winter, except for cabbage, radish, and potatoes, there are very few green leafy vegetables.

"Yeah! It sounds feasible. After lunch, they will sum it up..." Before grandma could finish her words, she heard shouting from outside.

"Auntie, are you at home?" Sun Youcheng stood in the yard and shouted loudly.

People in the house heard someone shouting, and my aunt went out to see, "Brother Dacheng, why are you here?" "Mom, Brother Dacheng is here."

Grandma opened the kitchen door, looked at her and said, "I understand. You go and greet them first. My meal will be ready soon."

"Bang" the door closed, and grandma saw that there was no one in the kitchen, so she could only say to the air: "There are people at home, let's make more food."

"Yes! I heard it and I know it," Fang Monan replied.

Mr. Lin and his father also walked out of the house.

"Ah! You are all here! Just go out with me to pick up something." Sun Youcheng greeted them.

Several people came out of the yard and stood on the street. They saw Sun Youcheng's younger brother, Youxin, tying the mule cart, sitting on a stone, holding a large basket covered with a towel in his arms. There was a large bag of noodles next to it.

.There are also two old old hens tied up alive.

Sun Youcheng asked them to carry the things on the mule cart and slip them in.

Fang Monan also prepared food here. She originally made chicken soup ramen, but when someone came, she made some rice and fried some vegetables. Whoever wanted to eat could eat whatever they wanted.[

The men carried their things and entered the house together. Grandma asked my mother and aunt to carry lunch, and the good dishes and chopsticks also entered the house.

Sun Youcheng put down the things in his hands, "These are all homemade, very fresh."

The grandma saw a large basket of eggs, weighing at least twenty kilograms. "Dachengzi, what are you doing with the eggs? If you don't keep so many eggs for your children to eat, you can just use them to exchange for your children's tuition fees!"

Sun Youcheng said with a smile: "Auntie, no need, there are so many children at home and they are almost tired of the food. We sell a lot of them in the town. These are all freshly harvested. You don't know, Auntie, since you left...

"

Grandma interrupted his tirade and said, "Eat first and chat while eating." Everyone sat down together and listened to Sun Youcheng's words while eating.

After Fang Monan heard this, it turned out that Shitou was quite trustworthy. He caught earthworms every day and fed them to the chickens. Not only did the chickens grow faster, but their egg production also increased sharply. The family members were puzzled! He caught them one day.

Looking at the stone that was feeding the chickens, I heard his words. Sun Youcheng was a thoughtful person. Not only did he sell more slightly larger hens, he also mobilized the whole family to dig up earthworms in the ground. The results were of course obvious. The weather was cold, and the eggs

The production volume has dropped. Today I went to the market to sell the last batch of eggs, and then I came to see my aunt. Thank you, but I was late.

Fang Monan patted Shitou's head happily, "Boy, you are very capable."

"Auntie, I heard from Shitou that it was you who taught her the method." Sun Youcheng stood up and said.

"Yeah! I taught you this, and I also heard what others said. I didn't expect it to actually work." Grandma looked at Fang Monan. What must have happened in the countryside? I'll ask you later!

'Hey, this kid didn't betray her.' He probably didn't dare! If you want to ask the reason, the cause and effect will be exposed as soon as you explain it. That's why it's grandma. You are smart. Fang Monan patted the stone.

Shoulders, smiling very cutely.

But the stone felt cold, so he shrank back and continued to eat hard.

After eating the meal, Sun Youcheng also got to know his aunt and his family's life in the past few months, which was also reflected on the dining table at his aunt's house. Hearing that they were going to build a kitchen, he volunteered to stay and help. In the village, someone was building a kitchen.

He would hire him for houses and other things, and he knew some masonry work. Then he asked his brother to go home by himself, and the mule cart was left behind. If anything happened, he could also pick up something.

It can be said that Shitou was forced to study by Fang Monan when he first started studying. Gradually, he discovered the benefits of rising grades. At least his parents were happier and were beaten less. When his mother chatted with the women in the village, he

His mother's face was so full of smiles. Seeing his mother's stinky fart, he felt that he should learn well and make the family smile more. Moreover, when he really got into it, he also loved learning.

Taking advantage of the autumn break, he also wanted to come and thank Fang Monan, so he stayed.

After dinner, the men discussed how to build the kitchen. Grandma gave her instructions and the things in the backyard, and then left to see how her hair was doing. It got dark early, so it would be better to steam it early.

Fang Monan held a rolling pin in his hand and surrounded his grandma and mother. "Use this, two people can press the dough." She pointed to the dough on the chopping board, and the two of them worked together to press and fold the dough. The effect was the same as that of the hands.

The kneaded dough is just as good. "Then knead it into long strips and cut it into squares with a knife to save effort."

Mom thought about it, took the rolling pin, looked at grandma and said, "How about we give it a try."

With the help of tools, it really saves time and effort. In no time, the four pots of steamed buns came out, more than 100 of them, piping hot and soft.

Put the steamed buns into a big dustpan and cover it with a quilt made of new flowers to keep warm. The two of them moved it to the trolley, and then grandma took the clothes.

"Mom, I can go today. You can take a rest." Mom took the light pink dress and put it on. "Mom, this dress." She pointed to the picture on her chest. It was very festive, but for children.

It should be better to wear, but it is not suitable for this adult.

"Why, it's very good. This painting was painted by your daughter. No one else can ask for it." Grandma looked at my mother who was wearing a big apron with a smile. "You will know the use of it when you put it on." She took a picture.

She shook her head and said, "By the way, for those who come to get steamed buns, please remind them that our stall will be at the door of Lao Motou's house the day after tomorrow. This is the most important thing. Don't forget it." She warned them again and again carefully.

When my mother heard that Fang Monan had painted it, it was incredible. She hadn't seen her child for three months, and the changes were so big. She didn't have time to care about anything, so she put it on and drove away in the car. Of course, she was more proud and proud.

[

Half an hour later, my mother came back in the car happily. It turned out that the person painted on the apron was really special. "Mom, I went to sell steamed buns, but they only recognized the painting on me and didn't see that the clothes I was wearing were changed."

But some people recognized me as your daughter."

"Haha...you believe it now! There must be a lot of people coming back so soon!" Grandma guessed.

"Yeah! There are a lot of people who didn't buy it, and they turned around every step of the way." Mom nodded. She didn't pay much attention to it when she heard about it yesterday, but today it has changed a lot. She didn't expect this small stall.

There was such a big profit in the business, so she gave the money to her grandma.

*****************************

While grandma was busy steaming and selling steamed buns, my father, mother, and aunt took pickaxes and iron pliers to the place where grandma said, and began to measure, pull wires, and dig foundations. Mr. Lin and Dachengzi drove the mules

We drove to buy cement, gravel, and sand. There were ready-made red bricks behind them. It was not enough to build two main houses, but it was just right to build a kitchen, and the beams were also ready-made.

My mother tugged on my aunt's arm and asked in a low voice: "We are building the kitchen. We obviously don't have enough manpower. Do we need to ask my eldest brother to come back?"

"Sister! Don't ever mention this, you don't know yet! We've been here twice and he won't let us do it! I think it's embarrassing for him." Xiaoyan looked disgusted. "Ah.

! Bah! What's so embarrassing, it's not that he doesn't respect the elderly. At such an old age, my mother still has to set up a stall to make money. She's afraid that others will point fingers and make irresponsible remarks behind him. "

My mother asked curiously: "How did our mother figure it out this time?" She looked at her aunt in confusion. According to the past situation, as long as the boss said anything, her mother would definitely agree to everything.

The aunt made a posture of counting money, "This is very attractive." Then she added: "Also, I am in school, and if I enter college, the pressure will be even greater. That's why my mother continues to do it." She also didn't expect her.

Mom will continue to do it. It seems that her mother is finally on her side this time and still loves her in her heart. Thinking of this aunt feels happy.

"By the way, sister, I see that you are quite positive and don't object at all." My aunt asked doubtfully.

"It's not like I don't know what's going on in our family. It would be better for our mother to find a job, so she wouldn't have to sit around doing nothing every day, looking at pictures of our father and crying, thinking wildly." My mother said, "This can also alleviate the problem.

Our burden, what reason do I have to refuse." What my mother said was very realistic, but it is also true. "For our mother, you have to study hard."

"Don't worry, I will fight tooth and nail to win my reputation," my aunt said, waving her fist.

"You two, stop muttering around and get to work quickly." Dad yelled.

"Hey! Come right now." Mom and aunt responded.

Fang Monan was dragged to the backyard by Shi Shi, and of course Mo Bei had to follow him to prevent her from disturbing the adults' work. Fang Monan looked at Shi Shi, who was squirming, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

He lowered his head and quickly looked up at her, "I'm sorry, and thank you."

"Oh! What am I sorry for, what are you thanking me for!" Fang Monan said evilly. If he wanted to apologize, he should say it quickly, like a big girl, and it was not refreshing at all.

"I'm sorry, I bullied you in my family. Thank you, Earth Dragon for feeding the chickens." Shitou looked at her with a smile, took a deep breath, and said simply.

"I'm leaving, how is your homework?" Fang Monan smiled so cutely.

"My homework has improved by leaps and bounds. The teacher also praised me and said that I have made rapid progress." Shitou said happily with his chest raised.

"Oh! That's great! You're at my house these days, so just study with us!" Fang Monan said kindly.

In Stone's eyes, it was Little Red Riding Hood who fell into Grandma Wolf's house. His back felt cold and he shuddered, "Okay...!"

The men were busy building the kitchen, and later they joined the neighbors to help, and took care of a meal at noon. Grandma bought a lot of pork for the meal, and everyone had strength. Grandma and mother were busy steaming steamed buns, and the aunt was busy

Go to school. Mr. Lin took Fang Monan, Mobei and Shitou to study and study in the house. While building the kitchen, my uncle never came to grandma's house once.

I worked overtime all night to build the kitchen, and finally it took two days to build it almost ready for use. The kitchen is rectangular, as tall as a person, with two large rural-style stoves placed side by side. The outside of the stoves is covered with white tiles, which are shiny.

It's shiny and looks clean and tidy. Because the area is small, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and it's easy to clean with tiles.

Coal is burned in the stove, which has high heat and steams quickly. Next to the fire, two large water tanks were built into the stove to serve as pools. It is much more convenient to use hot water. If the heat here in winter is too high, Fang Monan would like to stay here.

It's no longer cold to take a shower.

Dad thought of a way to ensure that the heat emitted from the chimney cannot be wasted. He also installed a "heater" in Mr. Lin's room. He also set up shelves for the vegetables in the backyard and covered them with plastic films.

Sun Youcheng felt itchy when he saw the vegetable greenhouse they built behind him. After asking about it, he calculated the balance in his hands and hesitated. Fang Monan asked his grandma to come forward and tell them a way to save money. It happened to be that the autumn harvest had just finished.

Get some whole corn stalks from the ground, put them on a shelf, take them down when the day is warm, and cover them when it gets cold at night. This way you can keep them warm and you can eat fresh vegetables in the winter. After hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and went back

He also tried to fiddle with it.

Three days passed very quickly, and it was a very hard three days for Shitou. I thought I could feel proud in front of Fang Monan this time, but I didn't expect the result. I could only let Mr. Lin and his aunt express sympathy for Shitou.

Tears. Compared with these non-humans in their family, they are just looking for death.

Before Shitou left to say goodbye, he challenged Mo Nan to challenge her, saying that he would definitely beat her next time.

Fang Monan encouraged him: "Little Shitou, go back and study hard. I'll wait for you to defeat me." After saying that, he tilted his chin back and looked arrogant, which really made Shitou itchy with hatred.

"Hmph... just wait." Shitou said with full fighting spirit.

"Very good. Very fighting spirit." Mr. Lin happily patted his head. He liked this simple little guy who was silly and somewhat stubborn.

When Shitou and the others came, the mule cart was loaded with agricultural products. When they returned, grandma was very willing to put a bag of rice and a basket with apples and dried fruits in the space. Fang Monan made a small part of the fruits in the space into preserved fruits, which was too

The fresh fruits are eye-catching. And these preserved fruits are said to be bought by my mother from the city. In addition, the trees in the yard are filled with jujubes, pomegranates, and cloth. Watching them disappear at the corner of the street, everyone

They all went back.
