They both walked to the corner of the wall.
Jiang Fuquan said to Chen Hongmei with a serious face: “Didn't you say yesterday you smelled the scent of meat ?”
Chen Hongmei nodded his head, slightly puzzled "Yes why?"
"The scent came from our neighbor's yard"
Chen hongmei astonished “You mean, that bastard Jiangzhou?!”
“Slow-slow! I'm afraid someone else will hear you?” Jiang Fuquan lowered his voice. He told Chen Hongmei everything he saw today. The more Chen Hongmei listened, the more surprised he became, and he could barely keep his mouth shut!
"REally?!"
Chen Hongmei said: "Maybe he stole it?! If it only relied on selling a few pairs of cloth shoes, how could it make so much money?!"
" I didn't believe it at first either."
Jiang Fuquan frowned and said,
"However, just as I was going on a pilgrimage, I asked one by one the citizens who were along the way, but the entire population in Liqi village, no one felt lost."
"What he said may be true!"
This time. Chen Hongmei was instantly speechless.
After a moment of silence, then Jiang Fuquan glanced at his wife"Aren't you also able to make cloth shoes, later when I want to buy goods in the district, I will all invite you to try selling there. If we can really make money, we can eat meat."
Chen Hongmei felt displeased when he heard this. He muttered inwardly, Why doesn't jiang fuquan just sell his shoes? he was embarrassed to sell on the roadside.
In the 1980s.
The customs of the society are relatively closed.
His mind is also backward.
Moreover, Chen Hongmei and the others had experienced an era of planned economy.
A few years ago, if he was caught out for business, they would be expelled from the country.
Now that Jiang Fuquan asked him to sell the shoes, he really felt very embarrassed.
“Why should I sell?!”
Jiang Fuquan's expression instantly turned uneasy at sight.
"I'm the head of the production team! Is it appropriate to see others?!"
He muttered to himself.
A few years ago, jiang fuquan also caught small business people selling on the street.
Jiang fuquan would rather die, than have him go alone!
After the two discussed for a long time, and finally Chen Hongmei relented.
If indeed selling cloth shoes can make a lot of money....
It doesn't matter if he loses face once in a while!
…………………………………
Throughout the day, there continued to be the sound of firecrackers being blown up on the mountain.
Every family makes a pilgrimage to their ancestors.
Chloe and Zoe had just fallen asleep for a while, already waking up to the noise.
When they walked out with still sleepy eyes, Jiangzhou and Liu Mengli had already finished making rice cakes.
the amount of flour used is two and a half full kilograms.
Every rice cake, the color looks very green and and shimmering, the aroma of dau mugwort is also fragrant.
As soon as the rice cake was steamed in the pot, the entire small courtyard was filled with the scent of hot steam.
When I saw Chloe and Zoe walking out on bare feet.
Jiang zhou who had originally set fire to the wood of the cauldron, immediately furrowed his brows and hurried to walk there.
“Should wear shoes, if not, then your feet will be cold. Understand?”
Jiang zhou walked up to them, then carried the two children and sat him in the long chair.
Then he went to the room and brought the shoes of the two children.
Jiang Zhou was very sad when he saw their pair of torn and unworthy cloth shoes.
These shoes are too small for them.
Not only that, the size of their left and right shoes are also different, maybe they just pick up and immediately wear without paying attention.
The shoes they wear are old shoes.
In front of the shoes are hollow and the back is also very shabby.
Jiang Zhou approached his two daughters and watched them
Their clothes were also full of holes and patches, large and small.
His eyes suddenly became a little hot.
She rubbed it, then took a deep breath, and crouched down in front of her two daughters to put on her shoes.
“Wait a few more days, after dad get the money, dad will buy clothes and shoes for Chloe and Zoe.”
They hear buying new clothes and new shoes.
Girls want to look beautiful.
Chloe and Zoe's eyes sparkled.
"Dad, how can Chloe buy my favorite floral dress?"
"Zoe wants to! Flower motif skirt~"
Jiang Zhou smiled and rubbed the heads of his two daughters.
“Alright! All right, whatever Chloe and Zoe like daddy will buy her.”
Hearing Jiang Zhou's words.
Their hearts were just satisfied.
after they finished wearing their shoes.
The two children were attracted by the hot steam coming out of the pot.
Chloe pointed to a large firewood pot, and said, "Father smoke, smoke is coming out of the pot~"
Zoe immediately ran over, her face instantly smiling as she sniffed her scent..
"Dad, fragrant~"
Rice cakes are also almost cooked in steamed.
Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Zoe come here a little hot steam is very dangerous."
The little boy instantly obeyed and retreated step by step
Jiang Zhou looked for a clean porcelain bowl, then opened the lid of the pot.
In an instant, white smoke immediately appeared.
At the same time also smelled the aroma of fragrant mugwort leaves.
The two children could not wait to eat the rice cake.
They stood in a row, then stood on their tiptoes and looked into the pot.
Jiang Zhou took out a small bowl for the two of them, then took the chopsticks, and stuffed the rice cakes into their respective bowls.
“Chloe, Zoe, I have to steam this rice cake. You two eat alone"
The two children immediately nodded their heads impatiently.
Jiang Zhou raised the two bowls, then cooled them down for a while,
Just put their bowls on a broken table.
The two children immediately knelt beside the table happily, leaned their bodies while holding chopsticks, and struggled to clamp their rice cakes.
they puffed their cheeks and blew a few times, so that the food was cold.
After that, it immediately bit him.
The sweet aroma of steaming bamboo shoots, accompanied by the delights of lean meat juice, flowed out in an instant.
This was the first time the two children had eaten such a delicious rice cake.
they eat voraciously until their cheeks swell, and trouble speaks.
"Lezat! Fragrant father!"
Zoe raised her head, looking as if she was eating happily and satisfied.
"Dad, Zoe dear father~"
Jiang Zhou felt a warmness in his heart.
To Jiang zhou...
The greatest happiness is to see her children smiling happily.
Jiang zhou immediately lifted the ripe rice cake out of the pot, then placed the immature rice cake into the pot.
Liu Mengli had been out since then, going nowhere.
A few minutes later, the sky had already turned somewhat dark, and the two children were eating their second rice cake
When Liu entered the house, he saw the two children holding their bowls and standing beside the pot, waiting for Jiang zhou to pin the rice cakes to them.
Liu Mengli's tiredness instantly reduced a lot.
He immediately smiled.
"Chloe, Zoe"
Liu mengli called his children.
Upon hearing Liu's voice, the two children turned their heads and saw Liu mengli, then they said
"Mother! Eat up! Eat rice cake, fragrant..!"
“Give mommy a meal, feed mom!”
When he saw the two boys running towards him.
Liu Mengli immediately walked towards them.
Jiang Zhou picked up his chopsticks then clamped down on a rice cake for Liu mengli, and asked, "Where are you going? Why just go home now?"
"I went to the village chief's house."
"Jiang Changbao's house?"
Jiang Zhou looked at him in surprise, "Are you looking for Uncle Jiang? "
Liu Mengli bit his lips and said, "I want to borrow some rice seedlings."
"If we don't plant it, what about when we're asked to pay agricultural taxes?"
Liu Mengli fell silent, after speaking
Jiangzhou also finally understood.
In the 1980s, the difference between families in the village and people selling the harvest business was whether or not they had to submit agricultural taxes.
farm taxes are handed over to the food station according to the number of families.
Every year, villagers prepare a harvest according to the agricultural tax that has been determined by each family. Then they deliver the food to the food station. The remaining foodstuffs are consumed on their own.
New year's end tax returns.
However, Liu Mengli continued to think about this matter.
currently, the season of planting rice seeds has passed.
However, in their home there are no rice seeds at all, of course they cannot plant them.
He's really very worried.
“Uncle Jiang also no huh?"
Jiang Zhou looked at Liu Mengli and said.
Liu mengli's brows would not be so wrinkled, if he managed to borrow rice seedlings from jiang changbao.
Liu Mengli bit his lip.
"Uncle Jiang said that his seedlings were only enough for his family, but he will help us to inquire..."
In an instant Jiang Zhou suddenly understood.
Every family in Liqi Village planted seedlings, they would definitely plant more.
because they are also afraid that it is not enough.
Each family planted more, the jiang zhou family also got three acres of land, if collected together should be enough.
Yet..
Jiang Changbao said that he would ask him, not directly give certainty.
The main reason was probably due to Jiangzhou's reputation, so no one would be willing to lend it to them.
Jiang Zhou was not angry either.
He also did not blame others, however it was a mistake he used to make.
When Jiang Zhou saw Liu Mengli not extending his hand to receive the rice cake, jiang zhou pursed his lips, then smiled. Jiang Zhou then handed Liu Mengli a rice cake.
“After eating, we'll think again."
Jiang Zhou said, “For the seedling problem, let me just think about it, you don't have to worry.”
If this happens first...
Liu Mengli would not believe that Jiang Zhou would find a way to resolve this matter.
but now...
He suddenly believed it inexplicably.
"Yes." Yeah."
Liu Mengli replied.
Then he received a rice cake.
Liu Mengli immediately put it in his mouth and bit him.
The shoots are very fresh, the meat is very concentrated, the taste is really delicious.
Liu Mengli suddenly looked at Jiang Zhou “Have you eaten yet?”
Jiang Zhou clamped the last rice cake and stuffed it into a porcelain basin.
Jiang zhou replied without raising his head "No problem, I'll eat in a moment."
Liu Mengli looked at Jiang Zhou with a slightly complicated expression again.
They're a family of four.
She and her two children had eaten the rice cake.
Only Jiang zhou remained.
He worked from morning until night, not resting at all.
Not even one rice cake has been eaten.
Liu Mengli walked over and picked up his chopsticks to help.
There is currently one rice cake left in the basket.
Just as Jiang Zhou was about to clamp him down, he saw Liu mengli had already pinned him down first.
next, a rice cake was thrust in front of him.
“You eat too.”
Liu Mengli's voice sounded less spirit “you've been busy all day, but even haven't had time to eat a single”
Somehow the feeling in Liu mengli's heart felt unreasonable.
Jiangzheng.
Since when did you become this stupid?
Jiang Zhou looked at him with a smile and he did not refuse, Then jiang zhou bit the rice cake that Liu mengli thrust.
Jiang zhou spent in two bites.
The aroma is fragrant and appetizing.
The family ate rice cakes for dinner.
After dinner.
Liu Mengli hurried to do the homework.
The two boys were playing in the yard.
