The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter Five Country Life

When the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth in the early morning, the countryside that has been silent all night is filled with the chirping of various birds. Smoke curls from every household's cooking stoves, and a new day begins.

In the kitchen, two women are busy making breakfast, corn porridge with steamed buns, cucumbers and pickles. The white-flour steamed buns like last night are only available every year during the wheat harvest, so they can be eaten fresh to satisfy the craving.

, save the rest for making dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and mostly make noodles at other times.

"Mom, it's time for my aunt to return to the county town!" one of the young women said, seeing that the only thing left to do in the fields was autumn planting. She was the aunt Li Mei that Fang Monan called yesterday.

"Why, I dislike it..." Another older woman, the great-aunt, looked at her daughter-in-law with a half-smile.

"Mom...Mother...how can I do that! Don't get me wrong, how could I do it? I am willing to live here for a few more days." Li Mei quickly shook her head and waved her hands. "When our family was harvesting wheat, although my aunt did not go to the fields, she suddenly

She cooked all the meals. My aunt loves to be clean, so she swept our house inside and outside every time, removing all the old dirt."[

"Haha... Your aunt loves to be clean, she was like this when she was young." My aunt really missed her youth, "Daughter-in-law, don't look at your aunt, hey! In fact, life is hard too!"

"How could it be possible? I see that my aunt's family lives in the county town and eats royal food." Isn't this good? Li Mei wondered.

"Hey! When your uncle was alive, he had to support a large family with his meager salary, and life was very tight. There was a famine at that time, and the second boy went out to seek life with others, and I don't know how he lived.

Now, your uncle has been gone for five years. The pillar of support is gone, and it feels like the sky has collapsed. We have to spend money to buy everything in the county, and our days are really not as good as digging in the dirt."

When the eldest sister married into the county, many older girls in the village were jealous, but after seeing what kind of life they had lived, they felt much more balanced. Eating the royal grain was envied by everyone, but you have to be able to afford it.

At this time, the poor people in the city who did not have serious jobs really did not live as well as the farmers who had land. As long as they were willing to work in the fields, they could always gain something.

"Then there are elder brothers and sisters. Aren't they all workers?" Li Mei asked with raised eyebrows. The aunt's family also has many children.

"Don't mention to me that unfilial son, who was manipulated by her daughter-in-law. Even if she has money, she will honor her mother-in-law and never remember her own mother." My great-aunt looked angry and sighed: "When the two of them were discussing marriage,

, your aunt disagreed, but it turned out that her son couldn't stop her from wanting to do it, because he was attracted by her good looks. It's too late to say anything now, she already has three children, and she has both children."

"Stone Mother, you won't follow their example and not be filial to us!" My aunt looked at Li Mei up and down like a searchlight, as if she could really tell something. So I can make plans as soon as possible. "But,

Your father and I have already thought about it. All the girls are married, and Shitou is the only uncle left. As soon as he gets married, we will separate our families. We will also break up the big pot and let each family contract the land in this field.

, everyone is living their own lives, working hard for their own families, and having a head start in life."

"Mom, look at what you said, am I that kind of person? Are you talking about when did I stop listening to Dachengzi?" Li Mei quickly expressed her attitude. The men in her family were known as filial sons, and she couldn't even think of this.

I don't dare to do it, let alone my mother-in-law who understands the truth.

"What happened to the rice that aunt brought when she came?" She changed the subject and said, filial piety is something you do, not just talk about it, and the days are still long!

"Fortunately, your eldest cousin and brother-in-law are Nannan's parents, who support the elderly with food and money from time to time. And her little daughter also works, otherwise it would be really impossible to live this life."

"It's true that every family has its own problems. But in the county, even if you can't be a worker, you can always find other jobs to do." Li Mei wondered, her aunt was very hardworking and capable.

"Hey! I'm not in very good health, and I'm getting older!" My great-aunt shook her head helplessly. If she wanted to do it, someone would have to hire someone to do it! "If you don't have to take care of your granddaughter, then you have time." Speaking of Nannan, she thought of hers.

The granddaughter is still at her in-laws' house. "Oh! By the way, our Ernier should come back too. We don't have much life in the fields. After dinner, go to her grandma's house to pick her up!"

"Okay! I miss her a little bit too." Li Mei said.

They were cooking as they talked. The meal in the morning was easy to prepare, and it was done just by talking. When my aunt and grandma and the others walked to the main room carrying the food, they didn't see their grandma coming out from behind the kitchen. Looking at them, grandma didn't say anything.

Whatever he said was true, he also walked into the house to ask his granddaughter to get up for dinner.

Fang Monan was woken up by his grandma and had dinner with everyone.

"Grandpa, grandma, mother, I'm full and I'm going to catch fish." After Shitou finished eating, he ran out without even bothering to wipe his mouth.

"No, you have to do your homework at home today." Shitou's mother grabbed him and said.

"Mom, I made an appointment with Tiedan and the others. We will definitely write in the afternoon, afternoon." Shitou fawningly held his mother's hand and shook it.[

"No, I'm going to pick up your sister in the morning. If you don't see you doing your homework when I come back, watch your skin carefully. I can't cure you, your father..." Li Mei raised her fist and threatened.

Shitou thought of his father's fists. He was really scared. Most of the time, his father was very kind. As long as he talked about studying, he would become a devil. They believed that people can become talented under sticks. He could only give up his plan and be honest.

Go do your homework.

After eating, they had to go to the fields and those who should pick up the children picked up the children. Grandma packed up the dishes, washed and rinsed the dishes, and when she left, she told Fang Monan to stay in the house obediently. It was hot, so don’t expose yourself to the sun.

Do whatever you need to do.

Fang Monan seemed to be sitting on a small chair chatting, with his hands on his chin and his knees on his pillow, watching the rustling of leaves and the slow flow of white clouds in the sky. In fact, he was turning the medical information he received yesterday in his mind. Due to the time,

It was too short, and the masters could only use this perverted method to teach her the skills, and stuff them all into her head. Fortunately, she had a modified physique, otherwise she would have become an idiot even if she didn't die.

She was thinking about things in space and cultivating immortals. If she didn't have a family, she could find a place deep in the mountains and old forests to practice. But she still had a family. Thinking of her family's life in her previous life, it was pretty good. After she went abroad, she worked hard for many years.

Once back before liberation.

My parents didn't have much salary before, but after they went to sea, they made some money. But when Fang Monan went abroad, they were basically in extreme poverty. Now if there is a chance, we must let them have their own careers, move to a higher level, and earn a lot of money.

Money. In this way, you can't watch her all the time and let her have time to practice. This is what she wants. Now that she is reborn, for the future happy life of the whole family, it is necessary to get rid of poverty and become rich. She also does not want her grandma to die.

, we must cure grandma’s disease.

Besides, cultivating immortality is not something that can be achieved overnight. She still needs to be practical. As for the future, she can continue her old profession, but the domestic stock market has not yet affected her! In the United States, she has no money and power now. Can she leave? First, accumulate capital.

Bar!

Of course, she can use the wealth in the space, but these are windfalls. They are not earned through hard work, and no one will cherish them. How can windfalls be obtained, and how can they be lost? The most important thing is

, as a commoner, holding this magic weapon, when she has no ability to protect herself, it is simply a reminder, and the thieves will miss her. Thinking about her future, she has a long way to go! Let’s solve the problem of food and clothing first!

Shitou scratched his head in the room for a long time, unable to write a single word. He looked up at the little man sitting by the door, smiling sometimes and frowning. He felt a little depressed thinking about his experience, and said angrily: "Hey! Little man.

Bald head, little monk. What are you thinking about?"

"You are a monk!" Fang Monan touched her bald head depressedly. Because her hair was dry and yellow, she had shaved her head before she was three years old.

"That little nun!" Shitou continued teasingly. Not being able to go out to play made him anxious. He did not dare to object to the adults, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction to her.

"Huh! Childish! You've finished your homework!" Fang Monan pointed at the red heart.

The stone was like a deflated balloon, and its arrogance suddenly deflated. He turned his head and said awkwardly: "Humph! I want you to take care of it. Why do you have to study? If people don't study, they can live well." He kept his pen.

Go to the side, sit and sigh.

Fang Monan looked at his depressed look and walked forward, picked up the papers on his desk, third-grade math exercises (1), and the ink paper. Fortunately, it was completely dry, otherwise his hands would be black when writing.

"Wrong, tsk tsk! Not many are right."

"Little brat, you know what's right and wrong. Don't break it." Shitou took back his paper.

"It's so simple but it can be written wrong, isn't it just the multiplication table?"

Shitou thought she was talking nonsense and that children knew nothing. "You also know the multiplication tables, so let me test you."

"5x3" "15"

"6x9" "72"

"8x8"

Shitou quickly filled in the answer in the brackets, "8x8, hey, why don't you say it again." He raised his head and looked at the little man with his hands folded across his chest, his little feet tapping, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.[

Ha! Her feelings have become a ready-made multiplication table, "How do you know that everything I say is right?"

"Yes, I'm going to look for a book." Shitou actually stood up and went to look for a book. Listening to her casual answer, he really thought it was the correct answer, but he was stupid.

When Shitou came back with the book, he compared it and found the answer. His eyes widened and he looked at her with a look of disbelief on his face. "He must be confused."

He then said a few more words, all of which were correct. He was dejected and depressed. "This is so shocking! You...you..."

"It's okay if you just memorize it, what's the big deal?" It's nothing, but the question is Fang Monan, do you remember that you are not yet three years old!

"But why can't I remember it?"

"Catch less fish a few times, scoop out bird eggs less often, and you will be able to memorize everything." Fang Monan said leisurely while standing. It really hurt my back to talk while standing, and it was worth my life to be so angry.

"Stop talking sarcastically. By the way, how could you, a child over two years old, get it?" Shitou couldn't figure it out. When she first came here a few days ago, she spoke like a mosquito and was timid. She didn't appear to be so bold and smart.

ah!

Fang Monan was choked by him. She forgot her current age, "My eldest cousin taught me, can't I? I'm smart, can't I? You are too stupid. Idiot!" She stuck out her tongue at him,

"I'm looking for grandma, hum!" She ran away before he could react.

Shitou was behind her, beating his chest. He was despised by a child, and he vowed to regain his face.

"Grandma, have you finished your work?" Fang Monan panted and ran to the pressure well in the yard. He saw that grandma had finished her work, "Hey, these are the tomatoes I picked in the vegetable patch in the backyard. I washed them.

For you to eat." Of course, the fruit was obtained from space, and now she can get it whenever she wants.

Grandma saw that the tomatoes were very good-looking, round and big, bright and vivid. Grandma touched her head lovingly and said, "Nannan is so good, you can eat it! Grandma won't eat it."

"No! I want grandma to eat it." After she said that, she forced the tomato into her mouth, forcing her to eat it.

"Yeah! It tastes better than usual, sour and sweet." Grandma said honestly.

Fang Monan learned from the instructions on how to use the space given by his master that the fruits in the space would have no marrow-cleansing effect if they left the space, but they could strengthen the body and prolong life. My grandma passed away due to a stroke, and now I am starting to maintain health.

Regrets will never happen again.

"Hey! Xiao Nannan only has grandma in her eyes, not her aunt." Her aunt said pretending to be sincere.

"Yes, I'm going to pick it now." Fang Monan, with short legs, ran behind and symbolically took out a tomato from the vegetable garden. "Give it to grandma, this is yours."

"How good!" My aunt said with a wide smile. She then said to her grandma: "Sister, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"What else can we eat? Noodles!" Grandma looked at the big sun in the sky and said, "It must be very hot. I have eaten cold water noodles."

Northerners mainly eat noodles, either soup noodles or noodles at noon. However, white noodles cannot be eaten regularly at this time. Nowadays, they mainly eat mixed noodles. White noodles are mixed with cornmeal. There are also noodles made of mung beans as the main ingredient.

The pancakes are also very delicious.

"That's good! But I can't make peace with you. You were famous for your good tempering skills when you were a girl." My great-aunt continued: "Xiao Nannan, do you know what 'three lights' are?"

"Three Lights" Fang Monan's reflexive thought was, "Burn them all, kill them all, and rob them all."

"Bah, bah... what are you thinking!" My aunt said with a smile: "We are talking about making noodles. We can't compete with the little devils. They have been beaten away long ago." "Hey! How do you know the Sanguang policy!"

"Oh! This is what the old people in the village are talking about about the Anti-Japanese War, and there are movies showing in the village." Fang Monan said quickly.

My great-aunt had no doubts. The old people in the village talked about ancient times, and besides, she came here after watching the eight model operas. "Nan Nan! I'm talking about the three lights of making noodles: face light, basin light, and hand light. Your grandma's

The craftsmanship is very good and the noodles are delicious.”

Fang Monan nodded to show that he knew, 'Of course I know this! I ate it often in my previous life! And mom, my noodle-making skills are as good as those of my grandma.' She cursed in her heart.

"Sister, I'm making noodles. I'm going to pick up some soybean paste that I made last year and cut some cucumbers into shreds. We'll make soybean noodles at noon."

The hand-made noodles are mixed with shredded boiled cucumbers, green vegetable leaves, minced garlic, and especially the fried sauce made from home-pickled bean paste. If you like, you can also add vinegar and a few cloves of garlic, haha! Northerners like it very much.

, two words "authentic", and two words "tasteful"! Fang Monan can't wait for the arrival of noon.
