Just after returning to the village, people who were chatting under the shade of the trees saw two bullock carts approaching. They could no longer sit still and ran over one after another.

Li Erzi ran the fastest. As he ran, he said hello, "Village Chief, are the melons sold out?"

Village Chief Li was very happy, "We've sold out. Our melons are pretty good! We sell them for four cents a melon, a cantaloupe and a croissant for seven cents."

The whole village is staring at the cantaloupe from Chief Li and Liu Paner's house. If they don't tell them, these villagers will keep asking.

Li Er slapped his thigh with envy, "Oh, village chief, Yuan Qing's family, you have become prosperous, but don't forget the villagers!"

"Oh, village chief, you have become rich. You can sell so many melons for a lot of money!"

"Village Chief, my family can't open the fire. Please lend me some money."

······

Zhou Cuihua got off the bullock cart and said loudly: "When we first started planting, no one knew that such good melons could grow. When we first started planting, you still called us stupid!"

When Li Er heard this, he smiled playfully, raised his hand and pretended to slap himself in the face, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how to talk with this mouth. I'm just joking. You guys are doing real things. If you plant this melon, you can do it."

It’s been planted. We can’t get it this year. If my family wants to plant it next year, they must give us some seeds!”

Zhou Cuihua smiled and said loudly: "Okay, this year the Yuan Qing family and I will save seeds. You can exchange them for grain when the time comes. You can't just give them for free!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy!" Others in the village laughed, "Give it to us for free. After all, your family has grown so much, and you can make a lot of money this year!"

Zhou Cuihua glared angrily, "How dare you eat the pie that is falling in the world for nothing? Besides, my family makes money, and that's my family. If you want seeds, it depends on my mood. If you are unhappy, you have to spend money."

Buy with money. I have told you the price of melons, so don’t block our ox carts. We get up before dawn to go to the market, and we’re going to be so sleepy.”

There are some things that Village Chief Li is not suitable to say, but Zhou Cuihua can say them and be playful.

Liu Pan'er felt happy when she saw that her aunt had taken over all the problems.

Although she is not afraid of these villagers, she doesn't want too much trouble. Besides, the family is full of children, so she can't be too high-profile.

Seeing that the people had dispersed, Li Dabao hurriedly drove the bullock cart home without stopping for long.

Li Dabao had no intention of keeping a low profile. He wanted to go back quickly and give the buns to his younger brothers, sisters, aunt and uncle to share the joy of the harvest.

Li Rong was sitting at the door, holding a needle and thread, learning to mend clothes with her eldest aunt Liu. Her mother had to be busy with work outside, so Li Rong wanted to take over all the things at home.

She took the initiative to take on the household chores, cooking, washing clothes, and taking care of her younger siblings. Her mother only had to be responsible for outside matters. If my mother had to be burdened both at home and outside, it would be like burning a candle at both ends, and her body would not be able to endure it.

Hearing the noise at this time, Li Rong saw her eldest brother driving the bullock cart back, with a look of joy on her face, "Mom and eldest brother are back, Nan Xiaobao, hurry up and give me some water!"

After saying that, Li Rong had put down her needlework and ran over quickly to greet her mother and elder brother, "Brother, mother, did the melon sale go well?"

Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "It goes well, stay away and ask your brother to park the ox cart at the entrance of the cave."

Li Rong was relieved when her mother said it went well.

Li Dabao was very happy when he saw his sister. He stopped the oxcart and took out a basket from the oxcart, "Ah Rong, here are the buns. Take them to the house quickly and share them with your sister, sister and brother. By the way, Dabao

Auntie also has a share!"

Li Rong took it and nodded, "Thank you, mother, thank you, brother."

Liu Pan'er held the noodles in one hand and the rice bag in the other, and quickly put them into the cave.

Mrs. Liu also came out. When she saw the two pieces of cloth in the basket, her eyes lit up, "Third brother and sister, these cloths are all from our family. You can make a lot of money selling melons, right?"

Liu Pan'er nodded, "The melons sold for a total of 760 cents. I bought twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of noodles, and oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. However, these cloths are not all from our family.

Half of them belong to the village chief's family. One piece of cloth costs 150 fen, and two pieces of cloth cost only 3 taels of cash."

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, "That's still more expensive than where we live in my hometown."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "It's a bit more expensive, but the stuff here is good. Sister-in-law, please feel it, is it better than the cloth we have over there?"

Mrs. Liu touched it and nodded, "It's indeed good. It's great. Now that we have cloth, we can make clothes for our children."

"If the kids do it, let's do it too!" Liu Pan'er said with a smile. She didn't want to wear those tattered clothes that would break with just a little bit of friction.

Once while working in the fields, she accidentally slipped. Although she didn't fall, her crotch was torn due to the split.

Although Liu Pan'er felt quite cool, she was also quite embarrassed. She didn't come back from the fields until dark.

Make more clothes, underwear and outerwear, to make them more comfortable and decent.

Afang took the buns and gave them to her mother and Liu Pan'er, "Mom, third aunt, you guys eat the buns."

Liu Pan'er waved her hand and handed the buns to her sister-in-law, "Dabao and I had meat buns for lunch, one for each of you, and we ate one more than you did! Eat quickly, there will probably be many people coming to our house to inquire about us after a while.

If other children see what happened to me, and they ask you for it, will you give it to me or not?"

Liu and Fang, who originally wanted to refuse, took it over and ate it.

Although the bun skin is not thin, it is big, the meat filling is also large, and some other vegetables are added, so it is still very fragrant.

I have to say, it tastes better than the buns they eat in their hometown.

Li Nan and Li Xiaobao took the buns and ran over to Liu Pan'er to eat, "Mom, you eat!"

Liu Pan'er touched the little heads of her son and daughter and smiled, "I've eaten it. You guys eat it quickly. I'll buy it for you next time I go to the county town."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she quickly stopped her, "Third brothers and sisters, don't buy it next time. Two cents for a big meat bun is too expensive. You might as well buy the meat and use your own flour to make a lot of it, which is more cost-effective."

."

Li Fang nodded and praised, "Yes, Third Aunt, my mother's buns are delicious."

Liu Pan'er thought about it and thought it was right, "Okay, next time I buy meat, we can make it ourselves."

Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao brought things and baskets into the house one after another, took the cattle to the cowshed, put the cattle cart aside, and covered it with a mat to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.

After cleaning up, the children also finished eating the buns and were very satisfied.

Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao's faces were red from the sun. After washing, they lay on the bamboo bed to rest.

Dip a towel in water on her face and put it on her face as a cold compress. It can not only reduce the sunburn on her face, but also hydrate and whiten it.

Liu Paner comforted herself!

Seeing that Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao were sleepy, the others remained silent and let them rest.

Anyone who came to the house to watch the fun was stopped by Mr. Liu, or sent to the village chief's house next door to watch the fun.
