The tofu skin made from soybeans is particularly fragrant and delicious after being stir-fried with lard. Moreover, it is particularly rich in nutrients.

When the aroma of tofu skin reached Chen Dazhu's house, their family immediately felt that the rice in the bowl was no longer fragrant.

There is no wheat porridge in his house today.

The husks of this wheat were not peeled off, so it tasted very bad. Stinging throat.

Chen Yuan and her mother-in-law had dinner several times at Chen Feiyan's house. Those few meals were something her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would never forget.

At this moment, Chen Yuan's face was not very good as he was eating food that was not much better than pig food at his own home.

Chen Dazhu frowned even more, feeling unhappy.

Next door, Chen Yixuan’s family eats and drinks well every day. How much money does his family earn?

When he thought that his family had harvested so much grain this year and that it was everywhere in the yard, Chen Dazhu calmed down and turned to his two sons.

"Dezhi, Deli, you two must work harder on your daughter-in-law from now on! We don't have many grandchildren at home, and I'm worried that I will be bullied by those wild ghosts after I go underground!"

After saying that, he suddenly sighed and said, "When will our family live a good life like his family? Eat a full meal every day, and take a bite of lard from time to time..."

When Chen Yuan saw him babbling for a bite to eat, she impatiently interrupted him: "Father-in-law, my husband and I have been weaving at home recently, and we have already woven linen cloth that is one meter wide and eighty meters long. "

"According to the agreement I made with the girl Feiyan next door, I can get eight meters of linen as a reward. Before winter comes, I plan to make new clothes for you and me."

Chen Dazhu is a person who knows how to live a good life. Commonly known as: very stingy.

When he heard this, he immediately began to settle accounts.

Weaving 80 meters of linen for the family next door, my daughter-in-law only got 8 meters... What is this if I'm not Zhou Papi?

Chen Dazhu became excited when he thought that his neighbor was so cunning and only knew how to exploit his daughter-in-law.

He slapped his thigh hard and said, "Daughter-in-law, why are you so confused?!"

"You and my son Deli have weaved so many sky cloths recently, and we only get eight meters of cloth. Aren't you working for his family in vain?!"

Chen Yuan was speechless after hearing this: "Father, my family didn't grow ramie this year! Without ramie, we can't get hemp thread! Without hemp thread, you can't weave hemp cloth."

"Unless you go to the city to buy hemp thread, but you don't know how expensive the hemp thread is. My husband and I help the neighbor next door. Her family buys the hemp thread, so my family also contributes some effort. With a little hard work, you can get it for free. Free linen to make clothes. No matter what you think about this matter, my family will not suffer!"

Chen Dazhu turned around after hearing what she said.

The twine sold in the county is extremely expensive. When farmers go to buy it, they have to spend copper coins to buy it.

His family is living a difficult life now and has been saving money.

I want to build a new house for my family before my eldest grandson is born.

Chen Dazhu had already planned that his family's new house must be high. At a height of four meters, the room is open and bright.

The house should have at least two rooms, so that if there are more children, the house will be more spacious.

Thinking of the little money he had saved, Chen Dazhu nodded and agreed with his daughter-in-law Chenyuan's statement.

Forget it, just work harder if you work harder.

As for the daughter-in-law saying she wants to make him new clothes, let’s just skip it. It is better to save this linen and sell it in the county town.

Thinking of this, Chen Dazhu couldn't help but tell Chen Yuan. After hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head: "That's not possible. I heard from people that it might be very cold this year. If our family doesn't prepare some clothes in advance, won't we have to spend a fortune on medicine if we catch a cold? "

Chen Yuan and Chen Feiyan spent time together day and night. Isn't the reason why you fell in love with Chen Feiyan because they can talk about many things?

Especially when it came to spending money, she found that Chen Feiyan was even more generous than her.

Moreover, Chen Feiyan was particularly willing to take care of herself when it came to food and clothing.

She once asked her personally why she didn't save a little on food and clothing like the people in the village.

As a result, Chen Feiyan explained to her at that time, saying that country people have such a problem, they are reluctant to eat and wear, and over time, they just torture themselves out of the problem.

Rural people are frugal throughout their lives. There is so much work to do.

However, many times, many people are reluctant to eat something good. As if he thinks he is unworthy. I can't bear to eat meat, I can't bear to eat oil, I can't bear to wear thick and good clothes.

Of course, many rural people really have no money. This is excusable.

But if you can weave cloth at home, why not dress yourself thicker?

After all, cold winters can freeze people to death.

When Chen Dazhu saw that his daughter-in-law insisted on being stubborn with him, and she thought all the eight meters of cloth would be harmed, he frowned and had a headache.

The wife here has so many ideas, it’s really not good!

Especially such a strong daughter-in-law.

He and his two sons beat her together, but they couldn't win, and she even grabbed her collar and beat her violently... Chen Dazhu couldn't do anything with her, so he could only frown in pain and let out a long sigh, then pretended not to see it and continued to drink with his head down. There was no flavorless wheat porridge in the bowl.

Chen Deli saw that his father had no way to deal with his wife. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little happy and happy.

At home, my father always said one means one, and two means two. When he was very young, if he was slightly disobedient, his father would beat him with a long stick...

Now that his wife is at home, he no longer has the same attitude as before.

Sometimes, what the wife says is more effective than what he says.

"Dad~, whatever arrangements our wife wants to make, just listen to her!"

"No matter what, my wife is also a first-class capable person. She said she would come early this winter, so I thought it was true."

"Dad~, our family harvested more than a thousand kilograms of sorghum this year, right?"

When Chen Dazhu heard his son ask about food, he hurriedly raised his head.

"More than a thousand kilograms of sorghum is not much. The land we rented from landlord Zhang this year is small, only twelve acres, and it is still low-grade farmland. After working hard for a year and paying a large amount of grain tax, those twelve acres The lower-grade fields only received 500 kilograms.”

"With less than 2,000 kilograms of grain... I don't know if it will last until next spring."

In ancient times, rural people generally could not afford high-energy foods such as oil and meat.

If I eat wheat flour, soybean flour and sorghum noodles every day, I won't feel hungry at all.

An adult man consumes about three kilograms of food a day. This is even after they all ate a lot of food.

Thinking of the difficulties at home, Chen Deli was suddenly speechless.

There is not enough food to eat, what should their family do?
