After resting for a long time, the men of the Shen family went to the fields again under the bright sun. Mrs. Wang followed behind carrying water and helped in the fields. Mrs. Xu was too pregnant to do farm work, so she took care of the housework at home.
Jiang Miao sat in the main room after dinner, looking for some work. The original owner was lazy, so she would usually do the work given by Mrs. Zhang or pass it on to her two sisters-in-law. Although she looked down on the Shen family, she still held herself to be a scholar.
identity of.
Mrs. Zhang was convinced that her wealthy husband would indulge her as long as he didn't go out of his way. This was why Mr. Xu was often jealous of her and squeezed her.
Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the Shen family is still doing well, but they are too poor.
According to the direction of the original book, the male protagonist will win the imperial examination next year, and three years later he will go to Beijing to win the first prize and become an official in the court.
In other words, she would have to eat black-faced steamed buns for another four years. Jiang Miao's eyes darkened. God wanted her to die!
As a food blogger with tens of millions of fans, she loves to eat and cook, but the Shen family is so poor that they can't even provide food and clothing.
Jiang Miao sighed, for the sake of her own appetite, she also wanted to make the Shen family rich quickly, and she also had to save enough money to make plans for the future.
After all, after entering the capital, the male protagonist will meet the female protagonist. The two of them respect each other like guests and love each other very much. It is better not to be an eyesore to them as a cannon fodder child bride.
"Miaoya, take the dirty clothes piled up in the yard and wash them by the river." Jiang Miao was just thinking about how to get rich when she was woken up by Mrs. Zhang's voice.
"Hey!" It was already hot and it was easy to sweat, and the clothes for farm work were stained with sweat and dirt, so the family had a big bucket of dirty clothes.
Jiang Miao didn't mind either. She leaned down to hug him, but she didn't pick him up.
Mrs. Zhang was originally a little surprised that she agreed so quickly. When she saw this scene when she went out, Mrs. Zhang looked "Sure enough" in her eyes. She said that the third daughter-in-law was so active this time. She was just waiting here to be lazy.
Jiang Miao's face turned red. She really didn't want to be lazy!
Mrs. Zhang didn't care what she was thinking, so she shouted loudly into the next room.
"Erlang, give your aunt some clothes."
"Hey!" Despite his young age, Shen Erlang was very strong. He quickly caught up with his big wooden basin and was picked up by him. His sight was obscured by his clothes. Shen Erlang walked with his head raised and his neck raised. Mr. Jiang Miao
I feel guilty about using child labor.
Da Ya also ran out when she heard the noise, and looked at Erlang's funny and timid little face with a smile. She followed them like a little tail.
Mrs. Zhang stared, "Why are you following me?"
Da Ya was so frightened that she clasped her hands and didn't dare to follow. The five-year-old girl had been malnourished for a long time and had a sallow complexion. She was wearing a shirt made from Xu's old clothes, and the blue-gray cloth was still patched. Fortunately, Shen
Her family members all look good, and she seems to be a well-behaved little loli.
Jiang Miao likes children, and Da Ya is sensible and obedient, so it won't be a problem for her to take her with her.
"Mom, let Daya come with us. She is so good and won't make trouble." Jiang Miao took her little hand, and the thin little hand fell into the soft palm. Daya raised her head suddenly, and a light flashed in her eyes.
.
"Then keep an eye on her and stay away from the river. Don't fall in!"
"Why!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the few people walking away with suspicious eyes. Miao Yatou seemed like a different person. Not only was she more active in her work, but she also took the initiative to take care of the children.
However, Mrs. Zhang felt very relieved and said that she was right, Miaoya was a good person.
Qingquan Village is backed by a mountain and is named after the clear spring water at the foot of the mountain. The water is crystal clear and the water and grass on the riverside are lush.
The wives in the village usually wash clothes in the morning, but now they are all in the fields, and there is no one by the river.
Jiang Miao asked the two of them to stay away from the river and squatted down to wash the clothes. Erlang and Daya helped her wring them out. After working for a long time, they finally washed a basin of clothes.
Jiang Miao stretched herself. She missed the washing machine very much now.
Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light among the water plants, and several small fish shuttled past. Jiang Miao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Fish! Steamed, braised, fried, stewed... She ran through dozens of ways in her mind, and her mouth almost watered.
There was no other way, except during Chinese New Year, the original owner never ate meat very often.
She took off her shoes and rolled up her trousers. The stream was cold and the water plants tickled her ankles. Jiang Miao didn't care at all and stared at the fish in the water.
She used her clothes as a fishing net and used the fishing skills she had seen in her previous life. She actually caught two crucian carps weighing two pounds. She swung her tail and splashed water droplets on Erlang's face. He wiped his sleeves and looked excited.
"Auntie, it's a fish! You caught the fish!"
Da Ya grabbed her clothes and was very excited.
Jiang Miao was amused in her heart. She rubbed their hair and tied the fish up with a straw rope to carry it.
"Let's go home and my aunt will make fish soup for you!"
