Chapter 5: Old Yuan Shi
After selling half of the basket of mountain mushrooms, Song Qiu looked at the peppers that had not been sold, so he didn't have a hurry. If he couldn't sell them, he would take them back. At worst, he would go to the town tomorrow.
There are few people in the town who grow vegetables and buy them even if they eat vegetables, so it will be much easier to sell.
Aunt Meifu's eggs were still left, but soon someone took a liter of brown rice to exchange for eggs with Aunt Meifu.
The market price of one liter of brown rice is about six cents, and the eggs are two cents, so Aunt Mei Fu counted her twelve eggs.
This kind of exchange for objects in the collection is also common.
Someone just took six eggs to exchange for a pound of mountain mushrooms from Song Qiu.
The Song family does not raise chickens, so they exchanged eggs, and Song Qiu also wanted them.
The sun was slightly pulled up from the east, and Song Qiu was still thinking about going back to pick up the mountain mushrooms. He didn't sell the peppers and didn't hold on. Seeing that Aunt Mei Fu's basket of eggs had been sold and replaced, he followed her to pack them up and went home with the basket.
Passing by the only meat stall at the market, Song Qiu thought that since she was sick, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so she bought meat for three cents.
Nowadays, you can buy a pound of pork for 12 cents, and you can buy a 4 tael of meat for three cents, which is enough to stir-fry on a plate.
Song Qiu went back to the village with Aunt Mei Fu. As soon as she arrived at the door, her breasts were back. Just like when she went there yesterday, the man from that family sent her back in a donkey cart.
Otherwise, the Xiao family farm would not have gone so far.
Seeing that Song Qiu was carrying a basket with a scale rod in the basket, Old Yuan said, "Are you going to the big market? Why don't you wait for the milk to come back?"
Song Qiu opened the door and went to the yard, smiling and said, "I happened to meet Aunt Mei Fu. I went with her. All the mountain mushrooms I picked up yesterday were sold out!"
The grandparents and grandchildren entered the stove and sat at the dining table. Song Qiu happily took out the copper plate he sold today and handed it to the old Yuan.
"There are 18 kilograms of mountain mushrooms in total. One kilogram was exchanged for eggs, and another kilogram was sold for pear blossoms. The total number we sold was 48 cents, but I bought meat with three cents."
"Okay, I'll give you a fried meat later." Old Yuan took the bag and counted out three to Song Qiu, "This is Pear Blossom, so you should keep it."
Every year, the child Lihua asked them to help sell some things and save some money on their own.
Old Yuan put down the wallet, then smiled and put the basket she brought back on the table, lifted the blue cloth and asked Song Qiu to see,
"My mother made a lot of money yesterday. The family was generous and finally gave me a son. I was so happy that I would just give me sixteen big money! There were ten red eggs."
Song Qiu looked at her breasts and saw that she was so happy, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Milks are so awesome!"
Old Yuan is a midwife and has a good craftsmanship. She has been born for almost twenty years and is famous, so everyone is happy to invite her.
However, most of the people who invited her to deliver her baby were from the countryside, and the family was not very wealthy. The one who delivered her baby would be at most ten or two eggs.
Some families are even poorer, and they can only take out one or two dollars if they empty their pockets. They gather a handful of beans. She didn't say much about her breasts and took it with a smile.
It is such a kind-hearted and diligent woman, but God has the heart to torture her.
He lost his husband in his early years and finally pulled his son to marry a wife. However, his granddaughter had just been born less than half a year ago. His son also got the same illness as his wife and went away at a young age.
Old Yuan gritted his teeth and handled his son's funeral, and persuaded his daughter-in-law to remarry and raise her granddaughter.
But the daughter-in-law refused and worked hard every day, making up her mind to pull her daughter to grow up and to support her mother-in-law in her old age and see off.
But the daughter-in-law and her family advised her to go back and get married again, so that she could get another betrothal gift. She refused to see someone, so her two brothers came to her house to tie the person up.
After some trouble, thanks to Zhang Laodou next door, he forced the man away with his son.
Life is considered dull.
But the good times didn't last long. Before her granddaughter grew up, her daughter-in-law became tired and sick and fell ill in bed. Old Yuan took out all the money she had saved at home to treat her and buy medicine. But within a year, her daughter-in-law passed away.
Only the old Yuan and his granddaughter were left to depend on each other.
Old Yuan gritted his teeth and saved money to pull his granddaughter to the age of thirteen. However, when he was in the same year, his granddaughter became seriously ill. After seeing several doctors, he said that it was not cured. He saw that he was angry and could not get out.
Old Hu just felt that the sky was about to collapse, so he just wanted to go with his granddaughter, so that their family could reunite.
Old Deng next door thought of the love she helped her when she couldn't survive. He couldn't bear to see her desolate look, so he gave her an idea and asked her to carry someone to Songshan Temple to kowtow to the Buddha and Master Yuanfa.
When the old Yuan heard this, he felt energetic and took his granddaughter to Songshan Temple at night.
When she climbed outside Songshan Temple, it was dawn and the temple gate had just opened, but she couldn't climb anymore. She saw the Buddha in the temple from afar and bowed down.
After worshiping, before entering the temple gate, my granddaughter miraculously woke up.
It was at this moment that Song Qiu woke up from his original body. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Buddha's merciful look at her.
Although she woke up, her body was too weak. She carried her home with her breasts and lay in the bed for a whole month.
Her breasts were afraid that she would get sick again, so she gritted her teeth and lent her money to buy her a big tonic medicine. Only then did she get better.
Song Qiu didn't know if the Buddha was really compassionate, but she was able to come here from the later century to become her granddaughter. This is the Buddha's appearance.
She just needed a grandmother, and her breasts also just needed a granddaughter. The two of them depended on each other to survive.
Looking at the amiable big round face of her breasts, Song Qiu seemed to see her grandmother.
Her grandmother's surname is Yuan, and before she came here, she fainted from crying in front of the mourning hall where the grandmother who had raised her, and woke up here.
Maybe all this was arranged by the Buddha.
It was still early, and Song Qiu ate two red eggs and carried a basket to the mountain.
Old Yuan stayed at home and blanched the mushrooms she had washed yesterday, drained them in a basket and put them in the yard to dry them.
It is dried into dried bacteria and kept with mountain bacteria before selling or eating it yourself.
As soon as Song Qiu crawled into the forest, Zhang Lihua, who was picking up bacteria, heard the shout and responded loudly.
Song Qiu followed the sound cat and handed her a red egg, "Eat it, what about you picking up this early?"
"I've already carried it back, it's amazing!" Zhang Lihua smiled proudly and took the egg over, "Grandma Yuan is back?"
Song Qiu said: "Well, I'm back. All the mountain mushrooms I carried today have been sold out. Should I give you your sanitary or save it for you as usual?"
"You'd better keep it for me. I'm working often and I have no place to put it." Zhang Lihua peeled the eggs and fed them into her mouth, then lowered her head and started to get a cat-fried mushroom.
After Song Qiu asked, he picked up mountain bacteria seriously.
