Chen Miao was a qualified listener, listening to Xin Xiaoling talk about her previous life.
In fact, it is not easy for everyone. The poor work hard all day long to stutter, and may take risks for a little money.
The rich may enjoy their material life, but their spiritual life may be very empty.
This is why rich people smoked cigarettes at that time, just to find a fresh feeling and excitement.
"Sister, I didn't know until now that a woman's happiness is not given by men, she still has to create it herself."
"Yes. Sister Xin, I feel the same way."
"Sister, you always come out. Isn't your man dissatisfied?"
"He's busier than me." He wouldn't say anything else.
"Is that so? Are men happy to see children?"
"Of course I'm happy to hear that."
Xin Xiaoling looked at Chen Miao with an ordinary expression when she mentioned her man. Does this mean she is not particularly satisfied with her man?
"Sister, do you believe in love?"
"I don't know, I probably don't believe it."
"Why? You are only this age, aren't you the age when you should be looking forward to love?"
"I didn't think about it. In fact, for me at that time, as long as I could eat enough, I just thought about eating well after eating."
Xin Xiaoling looked at Chen Miao in surprise, "That's it?"
"Yeah, I don't have the mind to think about anything else."
"So this is it, that people like us are just moaning for no reason?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "No. You will only think about spiritual life when you are satisfied with your material life. I am a relatively poor person emotionally and have not thought about it that much.
In fact, who doesn’t yearn for beautiful love? It’s just that I’m more practical and only think about daily necessities.”
Xin Xiaoling smiled, "I'm really bothering myself, aren't I? My daughter is going to find her husband's family, and it's useless for me to think about it."
After the snacks were steamed, the two entered the house. The two children were already awake and playing by themselves.
“It’s so easy.”
"It's okay. If I torture people any more, I'll be even more tired."
"You, I can't get tired even if I want to."
Chen Miao feels that women are still too easy to be emotional. Even a strong woman cannot avoid this.
After cleaning the two children, Chen Miao took them to another room to feed them. There was not enough food for them now, and they would need some milk powder soon.
The dim sum was cooked, and you couldn't eat dim sum at noon, so the two of them made dumplings. There were leeks in the yard, and the leek and egg filling was also very delicious.
After dinner, Xin Xiaoling went to another room to take a nap, and Chen Miao played with her two children. Now they don't sleep as long as before, they have grown up.
I waited until they took a nap before washing their diapers, and then came back to take a nap with them.
Xin Xiaoling spent the whole afternoon playing with her two children on the kang. As long as their mother was around, they would be happy.
When I heard a knock on the door, it turned out to be An Guoqiang coming over.
"Sister-in-law, even the potatoes we brought back are not enough. What should we plant?"
"How about radish and mustard greens? I'll make pickles at that time."
"Okay, I understand."
"Why did you come here to ask me?"
"Boss Xiao is not here."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay. Go to the grocery store here and ask how many radish and mustard seeds there are. If you don't have them, ask a fellow villager to buy some. You can also buy more varieties. We have such a big place in our yard. I'll buy a big vat later.
, the demand for pickles is also quite high, right?”
"Isn't it? In the past, it was good to have pickles to eat when we had some."
"Okay, can I get the money for you?"
"Sister-in-law, I am the one in charge of the money. I have it in hand."
"Okay. If you have green onions, plant some. Anyway, there are so many places. You can also plant some cabbage, but not too many."
"Sister-in-law, actually there aren't many of these kinds of vegetables, it's just that we can't transport them."
Of course Chen Miao understood that there was indeed a problem with transportation, and it was not convenient to eat dried cabbage.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to buy seeds. I'm going to buy some more pepper seeds."
Chen Miao nodded, "We have a lot of land. You can see what we can grow. Or ask the locals to find out what we can grow."
After An Guoqiang left, Xin Xiaoling smiled, "You really think very comprehensively."
Chen Miao smiled and said nothing.
I originally wanted to go out for a walk in the evening, but Xiao Tongran was not there, and I didn't know how he arranged it at Liu An's place, so I just drank tea and snacks in the yard.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the space, so she lay down to rest early. She kept fanning the child. Although there were no mosquitoes in the mosquito net, it was still really hot.
The children woke up three times during the night, and they were also uncomfortable. They still endured not sending them into the space, because they were too dependent, but that didn't work.
Xin Xiaoling left after breakfast in the morning, but Chen Miao did not go out.
At about eight o'clock, An Guoqiang came over. "Sister-in-law, Liu An died in the woman's house last night."
Chen Miao immediately understood that this was arranged by Xiao Tongran.
"Well, I understand. By the way, I've dried the potatoes. You can take them back and grind them into powder. I'll try cooking them. If possible, I'll dry them all in the autumn."
"Sister-in-law, let me buy you some vegetables."
Chen Miao shook her head, "No, there are vegetables in the yard."
After An Guoqiang left, she took her two children at home. At noon, An Guoqiang sent half a bag of potato powder.
It looked like it was ground very finely. "Actually, it would also work if it were made into vermicelli."
"Sister-in-law, if you eat well, I will leak the noodles. If you give it to the team, forget it. Stewing the noodles is a waste of time."
"But we have to improve it for everyone during the Chinese New Year. I'll make the noodles in a while, and you'll have to work hard to get the steamed buns in the evening so that everyone can have a taste."
"Sister-in-law, it's actually good to have something to eat." An Guoqiang smiled bitterly after saying this.
Of course Chen Miao knew that it was very difficult now. But if he could find a way, he still wanted to make it easier for them to eat.
There are three types of noodles, one with potato flour and cornmeal, one with some white flour added, and one with potato flour and white flour.
I steamed three pots in the afternoon. Because of the potato flour, it looked very beautiful, but it was sticky. You couldn't move it when it was hot, otherwise it would stick to your hands.
I fried a large pot of vegetables with leeks, pickled vegetables and meat, and asked An Guoqiang to take them back after a while.
There was no water vapor, and the outer skin was a little dry. I ate half of the old seedlings. To be honest, the taste was average, but it was okay. It just depends on their feedback.
If you still want to eat vermicelli, you can eat whatever you want, and you can stop your hunger no matter what you eat.
After An Guoqiang came over, he told him what they were and asked him to carry them away.
She also went out because she was going to pick up the cart today, so it would be much easier to hide her from others.
I pushed the two children back directly. It was quite interesting to see their limbs tumbling about. I guess you liked it too, right?
