Wang Xiaocui's biological clock is very punctual. Although she and Su An didn't go to bed until midnight after chatting with her the first day, she got up on time at five o'clock in the morning.

He got up gently, unlatched the door of the miscellaneous room where the chickens were closed, and opened the door so that after dawn, the chickens would go out to find food on their own.

I washed the sweet potatoes and cut them into small pieces, added broken rice and simmered it on the stove over low heat. I didn’t have much food at home, so I’ll see who can buy some later. In the morning, I made sweet potato porridge with pickled garlic and cut some more that I bought yesterday. The roast chicken should be about the same.

After preparing food for everyone, Wang Xiaocui picked up the old radish cabbage and the nearly dry sweet potato vines that were picked up from the fields yesterday morning from the door to the kitchen door, and then chopped them up on a wooden board.

This is the material used to cook pig food. At the beginning of the year, she borrowed a piglet from someone else and raised it. She agreed to pay for it after selling it at the end of the year. After nearly a year of careful feeding, it is now one hundred It weighs forty or fifty pounds.

I originally planned to raise the piglets until they were so popular, so I would pay back the money I borrowed and sent to Su Ping the year before last, and then settle the money for the piglets on credit.

Because it is not cost-effective to keep such a big pig anymore. Even if it eats a lot, it will be difficult to grow meat.

But not long ago, "Su An" wrote again, asking her to deposit her dowry, and the pig estimator also came to see it, and the price he offered was not good, so she thought about raising it for a while and waiting for more than two months until the end of the twelfth lunar month. The price would be much higher by then, but I didn’t expect “Su An” to be a liar.

Pour all the chopped pig vegetables into the big pot, dig two spoonfuls of bran from the house and pour it on top, light the fire with pine needles, fill it with firewood and let it cook.

Such a big pig needs a large pot of pig food every day. Today's food is cooked, and she will go to the fields to get tomorrow's food. Since the "Su An" asking for money is fake, she doesn't plan to continue. After raising it, I will call the pig collector tomorrow to estimate how much it will cost. If the price is right, I will sell it.

I boiled the pig food, removed the firewood, and threw in two thick and short tree stumps. Once these thick sticks are burned, the fire will be small and will not burn out. There is no need to keep an eye on the fire.

It was getting gray outside and Wang Xiaocui picked up the sickle and bamboo basket and went to the fields. Taking advantage of this gap, she quickly brought back tomorrow's pigweed. She came back just in time to have breakfast with Ping Anan.

Because she stayed up until midnight the day before to catch the train and dozed off for a while on the train after running around all day, Su An slept very hard today.

However, Su Ping woke up early. When he came down, he saw that his mother had gone out and his sister was also sleeping. He quickly woke up Ren San to pee.

Su Ping stood at the door looking out, waving his arms, asking Ren San to hurry up. Ren San was very obedient, limping on one foot, and trotting bumpily. When Ren San went upstairs again, Su Ping He breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't figured out how to tell his mother yet.

He has a simple temper and doesn't think too much. He thinks that at worst, he hides it secretly and gives him half of his rations.

Inside the cover on the table, there was a plate of sliced ​​roast chicken and a bowl of pickled garlic dug out of the jar.

Su Ping ran towards the kitchen, and sure enough he saw a pot of sweet potato porridge on the small stove.

Taking advantage of this moment, he found a clean bowl, made a bowl of porridge, picked up two pieces of roast chicken and two pieces of garlic, and secretly brought it up to the attic.

When Su An got up, Su Ping was already washing dishes.

Seeing his sister getting up, he hurriedly greeted her, "An'an, are you awake? I'll get you some hot water. Breakfast is on the table and I've already eaten it."

After pouring hot water for his sister, Su Ping glanced at the attic worriedly and said to Su An, "Mom is out. I see that the bamboo baskets and sickles under the eaves are also missing. She must have gone to get pigweed in the fields. Pot I have dug out the pigs inside and spread them out to dry. I will go pick up my mother. The pigs will be fed when I come back."

Su An was still awake. Faced with this brother's explanation, Su An nodded subconsciously, "Okay, okay."

Su Ping said something to his sister and headed south. The village of Jiu San was surrounded by mountains to the northwest and rivers and land to the southeast.

If mom goes to the fields, she can only go to the southeast.

Although it was only about seven o'clock, there was still mist in the air, but many people had started their day's work. Some were carrying baskets to pick vegetables in the fields, some were leading cows to herd cows, and some were carrying hoes to get ready. A working man.

Su Ping has a simple temper and doesn't get angry easily. He answers people from the perspective of a child. His words often make people laugh, so people in the village like to tease him by saying a few words when they meet him.

In addition, Wang Xiaocui's children who showed off all over the village came back yesterday. At this time, Su Ping appeared on the road, and everyone looked at him with interest.

"Su Ping, isn't it good in the city? Why do you come back to the countryside? Do you want to go back to the city?"

Su Ping tilted his head and looked at the other person, "I don't know, I want to ask An'an."

"Su Ping, is your father nice to you? Is your stepmother beautiful? Is she prettier than your mother?"

Su Ping shook his head, "My father is not good, but my mother is good-looking."

"You are already this age. Did your father ask you to get a wife in the city? Do you want a wife?"

Su Ping was a little embarrassed to be said. Although he was not smart, he still knew what a daughter-in-law meant, and he could give birth to a baby if he slept with her in her arms.

"No, I don't want a wife. My mother wants me to look after An An when she comes back. I don't want a wife. It costs a lot of money to raise a daughter-in-law."

Su Ping's reply successfully made everyone burst into laughter.

"Hey, a fool is a fool, and he doesn't even want a wife."

A young man joked towards Su Ping, "Oh, Su Ping, I'm telling you, you don't need to spend a lot of money to raise a daughter-in-law, just give her food to eat. Not only can she give birth to babies, but she can also wash and cook for you. I listen to you." Aunt Jinhua said that your mother sent you a lot of money, but it’s not enough for you to support your daughter-in-law?”

Su Ping shook his head, "I don't know."

He didn't want to talk to them anymore, he felt like everyone was laughing at him.

He quickened his pace and walked forward, quickly distancing himself from everyone.

The fields to the south are all plains, and if someone stands in the fields, they can be seen from a distance.

Su Ping took a few glances and saw Wang Xiaocui by the stream.

He strode towards Wang Xiaocui, "Mom~, why did you get up so early? What do you have to do? Just call me. Uncle said you should sleep more."

While Wang Xiaocui was bending down to wash pigweed in the river, she raised her head and smiled at Su Ping, "Why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"

Su Ping grabbed Wang Xiaocui's arm and asked her to stay away from the stream. "I'll eat. Mom, you go back to eat. I'll do the rest. I know how to do it."

"Go back. An'an is alone at home. Go back quickly. She will be scared later."

Wang Xiaocui couldn't laugh or cry. When Su Ping was a child, she always told him to take his sister with him when he was running around, so that An An would be afraid of being alone.

Unexpectedly, even though he has grown up, he still remembers it.

Seeing Su Ping driving him away, Wang Xiaocui nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll go back now. Just throw the pigweed into the river and stir it up twice to shake off the soil on it."
