After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

At night, Erni said a lot of worrying things and even cried a lot. When she woke up the next day, she seemed to have forgotten all about it, and happily discussed with Yingbao how to spend the money in her hand.

She and Dani each planted two hundred golden ears, and sold them for 15 taels of silver this time.

Including the twenty taels earned last year, there are more than 30 taels. Compared with girls of the same age in the village, Erni is simply a little rich woman.

"When you get married in the future, use the money you saved to buy a shop in the county town. After that, you won't do business, and you can earn money every month by renting it out to others."

Yingbao suggested to Erni: "So you should save more money now."

Erni agreed, and asked expectantly, "How much money does it cost to buy a shop in the county?"

"It depends on the location. If the location is good, a shop will always cost 200 taels."

"What? It's so expensive." Erni thought about it, and then thought about the money in her hand, it seems that it is not too much.

When the strains are divided next time, I might as well plant another two hundred golden ears.

But the problem is that the seed fungus must have a place to put it.

That thing is delicate and cannot be exposed to the sun and rain, and it cannot be planted too densely. It is no problem to plant ten or twenty plants. If there are more, a bamboo shed will have to be built again for storage.

Erni scratched her head, the bamboo shed is not easy to build, it is not much different from building a house.

After breakfast, Chun Niang led the children to see the bride.

Walking into the courtyard of Jiang Erlang's house, he saw that Jiang's family was almost all present.

Yanru was wearing a red dress, holding a tea bowl to offer morning tea to her parents-in-law.

Morning tea is boiled egg water with sugar added.

"Father, mother, please drink tea." Yanru respectfully held the bowl and handed it over.

Jiang old man and Jiang Liu took a sip and gave the new daughter-in-law a red envelope respectively.

After serving tea, Jiang Erlang led his wife to recognize him.

"This is the eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"Brother, sister-in-law." Yanru called out obediently.

Jiang Dalang and his wife nodded to her without saying anything.

"This is the third younger brother and third younger sister." Jiang Erlang introduced his younger brother and daughter-in-law.

"Third brother, third younger sibling."

"Second sister-in-law." Jiang Sanlang and Chun Niang nodded to her.

"This is Dacheng, Erquan, Dani, and Yuanbao from the eldest brother's family." Jiang Erlang introduced them one by one: "There are Yingbao, Xiaojie, and Xiaowu from the third brother's family over there."

Yanru took out a large handful of silver jujubes and distributed them to the children, two per person.

Several children thanked in unison: "Thank you Second Aunt (Second Aunt)!"

Jiang Erlang pulled his two sons and daughters again, "Give your mother a gift." Then he said to his newlywed wife: "Yanru, this is my eldest daughter Erni, and this is my eldest son Huzi."

Erni and Huzi had awkward expressions, but they still called their mother.

Yanru gave each of the siblings an exquisite silver lock, and even put it on for them herself.

After identifying the person, Yanru went into the kitchen to cook, and Erni followed in to help light the fire.

The mother and daughter are one in the pot and the other in the pot, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, but they are also harmonious.

Jiang Liushi breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to her second son: "Since you are married, you can live a good life in the future. This child Yanru looks pretty good, you have to treat her well."

"Understood, mother." Jiang Erlang said with a smile: "Everyone don't cook lunch today, stay and try Yanru's craftsmanship."

Zhou Shi and Chun Niang smiled and nodded.

Yingbao and a few children ran out after watching the new auntie, because Jiang Quan said he would take them to the pond to fish for shrimps.

The pond on the south slope is already quite large, and a lot of lotus roots have been planted beside it. Now the lotus leaves have grown very large, and they can be used as bamboo hats when they are picked off and placed on the head.

Several children held a big lotus leaf each, and fished shrimps by the pond with a small copy net, and quickly caught half of the basket.

After catching the prawns, Jiang Quan took them to see his breeding water hole, where there were many loaches rolling.

"I raised these. Let's get some loach back later, wrap it in flour and fry it in lard. It's delicious."

Yuan Bao and Hu Zi swallowed their saliva, and quickly asked the second brother to quickly catch more loach and bring it back for frying.

Yingbao is also craving fried food, but she prefers sweet and sour apricots and peaches.

Many fruit trees were planted around her house, including peach, apricot, pear, persimmon, jujube, two apple trees, and a few unfamiliar vines.

The fruit trees have been pruned and grafted, and this year they are also blooming and bearing fruit, but because it is the first time to bear fruit, the number is not many. There are only dozens of fruits hanging on a tree, and some are only a dozen, but there are so many fruit trees. .

It's the end of May, and most of the apricots are yellow, so they should be edible by now.

"Second brother, let's go pick apricots." Those apricot trees were too tall for Xiaodou Yingbao, and the apricots were hidden in the leaves, so they couldn't reach without a long bamboo pole.

"Okay, I'll come when I bring the shrimp and loach home." Jiang Quan scooped up enough loach, ran home quickly with a basket in hand, and then rushed back dragging a long bamboo pole.

So the children started knocking on the apricots again.

With a slap of the bamboo pole, the ripe apricots fell from the treetops. Xiaojie Xiaowu yelled and picked up apricots under the tree, and when he picked up a big one, he handed it to his sister. He was so happy.

Yingbao and Yuanbao Huzi also picked it up, and when they picked up the broken apricots, they wiped them with their sleeves and ate them.

Ripe apricots are very delicious, sweet and sour, much better than cherries.

But eating this stuff hurts your teeth and stomach, Yingbao soon felt that his teeth could no longer bite, but he still couldn't help but want to eat it.

After knocking half of the basket, Jiang Quan stopped knocking and began to discuss with Yingbao, "Yingbao, let's sell the unfinished apricots on the street for the market tomorrow?"

He knew that these fruit trees belonged to Ying Bao, so he had to discuss with her.

Yingbao nodded: "Well, take me there then."

"No problem!" Jiang Quan giggled and rubbed his little cousin's head: "When the money is sold, we will be half of each other."

"it is good."

At noon, all members of the Jiang family had dinner at Jiang Erlang's house.

Yanru really cooked two dishes for the table, each dish was thoughtful, not only fragrant, but also beautifully presented.

The shrimps and loach brought back by Jiang Quan were also deep-fried according to his requirements, and served on a large plate with a small round lotus leaf on the bottom of the plate, which was very green and attractive.

Zhou and Chun Niang have been cooking meals for a lifetime, but they don't know that the dishes can be arranged like this.

For example, you can put a circle of leaves on the side of the steamed fish, and each leaf has a small piece of yellow apricot flesh, which looks very beautiful.

When eating, there is a table for adults and a table for children, and the dishes are the same, except that the children's table has more fried shrimp and fried loach.

After the meal, Yanru started to clean up the dishes, Chunniang, sister-in-law and Danny Erni also went to help.

Yingbao took her two younger brothers home.

She was too full at noon, so she took two little milk dogs for a walk in the yard.

The gourds planted in spring have already climbed the vines, and now many small white flowers are blooming. Under the flower pedicles are small green gourds, some of which are half the size of a palm.

Xiaojie saw that these little gourds were interesting, so he stretched out his hand to pick them, but was stopped by Yingbao, "These are still baby gourds that haven't grown up, so we can't pick them. Let's pick them off when they grow up."

The little guy had no choice but to withdraw his hand and muttered: "The little gourd can't be picked until it grows up, and I will pick it later."

"So cute." Yingbao patted Xiaojie's head.

Xiao Wu ran over all of a sudden, lowered his head and leaned in front of her to let his sister touch her, and said, "Xiao Wu is the most obedient."

Yingbao had no choice but to touch him again, and praised him, "Xiao Wu is also good."
