Chapter 118 Although I am ugly, I can think beautifully
I got up early in the morning and thought that there might not be much food left for the many people eating in the village. I still need to buy some food today.
Su just happened to be going to the cleaning house to check the accounts. So he asked him to drive the carriage to the vegetable market and the grain and oil store. He bought everything along the way. All of it was food, rice, noodles, oil, pork bones, pork offal, pork, and soon the carriage was filled with food.
There is no need to buy side dishes, as there are plenty of them in the village. Since the house was renovated, Daniu and Erniu have been buying side dishes from Grandma Wang's house.
If Grandma Wang has nothing to sell, she will consider buying from other families. After all, there is nothing else in the countryside, but there are plenty of vegetables.
The carriage went in through the side door and stopped at the kitchen door. Granny Dong saw it immediately and came over to help unload the things. I put them in the kitchen and told her that we would have fried offal with peppers for lunch. Granny Dong understood immediately. Put the things in order. Close the kitchen door. Take the pig offal to the river and start washing it.
I turned a corner and came to Grandma Wang's house. Grandma Wang was picking peppers at home. When she saw me coming, she quickly took a stool and asked me to sit down.
I remembered what I came here for; "Grandma Wang, do you have a lot of vegetarian dishes? Can we finish them all? Do you want to sell some?"
Grandma Wang smiled kindly, thinking of her son working at the house repair shop and her daughter-in-law making clothes. The income is much better than before, and life is getting more and more promising. Her spirits are getting better and better. She is also considering sending her grandson to school. In the past, this was something she would never dare to think about.
Granny Wang saw me asking this and said, "We have plenty of vegetables at home. Dalang's wife, feel free to take any you want."
I smiled happily. "I won't take it if Grandma takes it, but I want to buy it for you for a long time. You know there are many people eating there. I don't want to buy vegetables from the town. Grandma Wang, I think I will buy it from your house. If you don't have it in your field, I can buy it from other families in the village. What do you think?"
Granny Wang still refused to take the money. I pointed to her little grandson behind her yard and said, "Granny, you need to save some money for your grandson's education, so you have to accept this money. If you don't, I won't buy anything from you in the future."
Seeing how determined I was, Granny Huang felt embarrassed and took out all the vegetables I wanted to buy today and collected them. She also gave me the deposit and promised to deliver vegetables to Xiufang every day in the future.
I had to eat some side dishes every day. This problem was solved. I took the vegetables I had just bought and returned to the house. I put the food back in the kitchen. Then I came to the show shop.
Liu Niang was leading everyone to rush to deliver goods. Guihua and Huaer were sitting next to her, each holding a stretcher and studying very seriously.
When Liu Niang saw me coming, she put down the silk thread in her hand and walked over.
The air and land in the mountain village may really suit Liu Niang. After just a few days of not seeing her, it is obvious that Liu Niang's face has become rosy. It seems that the depression in her heart is slowly dissipating. Her expression is much more peaceful. No longer like before, no matter how she smiles, her brows are always difficult to relax!
Now Liu Niang feels more relaxed.
Liu Niang walked with me, talking as we walked. We walked from the embroidery room to the place where the house was being repaired, and then from the place where the house was being repaired to the house where the sweet potato flour was to be made. Finally, we walked to the back door. Then we went out to the back mountain. I wanted to take Liu Niang to the mountain for a walk. But then I thought about how hot Jinshan was now. So I gave up and walked back with Liu Niang. I was going to go back to the embroidery workshop.
This is the road surface in ancient times. It is really too bad. It is sunny these two days. The ground we walk on was repaired after Zhang De and his team came.
But after walking around like this, our shoes were covered with dust and dirt. I missed the modern roads. Thinking of the modern cement roads, the loess road under my feet made me want to transform it even more. But if I want to make it into a stone road, the cost is not low! I can't afford it now.
If we had cement, it would be great to make the entire manor floor cement.
That way, no matter how you walk, your shoes will always be clean.
How did the cement formula come about? I seem to have some impression of it in my mind.
I can go back tonight and think carefully to see if I can remember all the formulas. If I can, I will find someone to make them. If nothing else, I will pour cement on all the yards and roads in this manor. How great it would be.
I was thinking and chatting with Liu Niang. Soon we returned to the embroidery workshop. Liu Niang sat on a stool and patted her shoes again and again. I followed Liu Niang's example and tried to clean the dust and dirt on the uppers of my shoes. But no matter how hard I tried, they just kept getting dirtier.
I thought fiercely in my heart: Damn it. I will go back and think about it tonight. I must come up with the formula for cement.
Maybe I will succeed. After all, although I am ugly, I can also dream beautifully. Where there is a will, there is a way! Come on!
