"Go to other villages these two days and ask if they are playing with those guys."

"This kid is really a worry. I'll beat him up when I get back." Zhu Liang's mother sighed helplessly. It was no use worrying about it.

She fanned herself with a handkerchief, saw Ying Han sitting in the shade, and walked over.

"Why did Ying Zhiqing come back so soon? Didn't he buy anything?"

Ying Han looked up, hummed, and lowered his head again, obviously not wanting to talk to her.

"Oh, your face is seriously damaged, kid. Go see a doctor right away. You're still young and don't know how important a pretty face is to a girl. Wait two years until you realize how beautiful it is. You'll regret it later. If you continue like this, my Liangzi will definitely look down on you."

"Aunt Zhu, I was just worried that your Zhu Liang would fall in love with me. I think this is a good idea."

"Little girl, don't you see? There are girls from all over the village waiting to marry into our family. We didn't choose you, but you chose us. You are as thin as a monkey. I am afraid you can't have children. Who would care?"

"I wish Aunt Zhu didn't care about me. There are so many good girls in the surrounding villages. You have to choose carefully."

"Girl, why didn't I realize you were so eloquent before?" Aunt Zhu glared at her, feeling unhappy.

At this time, several educated youth happened to arrive.

Only after the old man driving the cart said it was time to set off did Aunt Zhu stand up and quickly get on the donkey cart to find a good seat.

"Ying Zhiqing, you're back. I was worried that you didn't come. Did you buy mung beans?" Li Guihua saw Ying Han and asked while pulling her into the car.

"No, the grain and oil store only has rice and flour, I didn't buy any."

"Did you buy a bamboo basket?" Li Guihua said, looking at the basket in Ying Han's hand.

Ying Han nodded.

Ni Mei on the side curled her lips and chuckled.

This made Ying Han stunned for a moment.

Zhang Shishan, who was standing by, nudged her with his arm, meaning for her to talk less.

Li Guihua looked at Ni Mei and glared at her unhappily, thinking that Ni Zhiqing had gone too far.

Ying Han was stunned for a long time before she realized that Ni Mei was laughing at her for buying things indiscriminately.

This person is so annoying. It's my own money, I can buy whatever I want, it's none of her business.

When we reached the village entrance, everyone separated.

Walking near the shed, Ying Han found a spot in the grass to squat down, entered the space, took out the rice and flour he bought today, and put them in the basket.

"Aunt Pei, look what I bought."

Aunt Pei put down the broom in her hand and said, "It must be food."

Ying Han pursed his lips and nodded excitedly, "And this. Rags, needle and thread, Aunt Pei will be busy next."

"Oh, that's great, we can make shoes now." Li Peifang's own shoes were still wearable, but Teacher Yan's were so torn that her toes were exposed.

Aunt Pei held the rag and said excitedly, "Hanhan, thank you so much. We owe you the money for the rag."

"What are you talking about, Aunt Pei? I bought these to make shoes for everyone. Of course, I have to trouble Aunt Pei for my pair of shoes."

"No problem, Aunt Pei will definitely make you comfortable."

"Is there any for me?" Grandpa Liang came over and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, everything. I also bought millet and flour."

"Hey, why are you still selling white flour? White flour is expensive, you can just buy some whole grain flour."

"Hanhan is young, how could she understand these things?" Teacher Yan said with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't think about that." Ying Han really didn't expect that multi-grain flour could be used to make dumplings. "I just remembered that Grandpa Liang wanted to eat dumplings, so I bought some white flour, thinking of making dumplings."

"You kid..." Grandpa Liang choked slightly when he heard this, and suddenly a few flashes appeared in his turbid eyes.

Teacher Yan patted Grandpa Liang on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Liang, it's our blessing that Hanhan is here."

Grandpa Liang also nodded continuously.

Aunt Pei said, "The village chief said that food will be distributed soon. Let's eat dumplings today."

"Okay, let's eat dumplings. I'll go dig some wild vegetables." Grandpa Liang and Teacher Yan went out with baskets.

Aunt Pei took two eggs from the chicken coop for the first time today. Seeing this, Ying Han quickly took some grass from the space and put it in the chicken coop. Although chickens don't eat grass, they will lick it for a while, so maybe it will have some effect.

Then Yinghan sat at the door and helped Aunt Pei to keep the heat at bay while Aunt Pei used the little remaining oil to fry all the eggs.

Then I kneaded the dough, and after Grandpa Liang and Teacher Yan came back, I quickly washed the wild vegetables and made the dumpling filling.

Today was the best day they had ever eaten. Although there was not much seasoning or oil, and most of the dumplings were wild vegetables, several people said that this was the most delicious dumpling meal they had ever eaten.

This was also the best meal Ying Han had had here.

In the afternoon, the secretary's wife came to collect eggs and found that there were not as many eggs as before.

Aunt Pei explained for a long time, and the secretary's wife even went to their kitchen to take a look. She didn't find anything, but left with regret.

In the evening, Aunt Pei cooked millet. Ying Han asked Teacher Yan how to grow millet. Teacher Yan said that you should first soak the seeds in warm water for a day to allow them to absorb water and soften the shell. After a few days, the seeds will turn white and germinate, and then you can sow them in the nursery.

Ying Han thought this was simple. She could just soak the seeds in water until they came out of the water. That should be enough.

In the evening, Ying Han filled the teacup he used to drink water with and soaked all the remaining millet in it.

Looking at the teacup on the table, I lay on the bed with full of anticipation, looked through the window at the faint moonlight outside, and fell asleep with a full smile.

Two days later, the village chief gathered the villagers to distribute food.

Ying Han, Grandpa Liang, and Teacher Yan were carried here by several young people from the village.

It was only when Ying Han went to the village branch and looked at the scales that they finally had food to eat.

The village chief said that everyone had worked hard during the busy farming season and gave everyone two eggs.

Moreover, the educated youth received salaries, and Ying Han received more than 80 yuan.

The total amount is not small, but when you actually calculate it, it’s only a few dollars a month.

On the night when there was food, Aunt Pei steamed a plenty of rice. Although there weren't many good side dishes, every grain of rice was filled with the aroma of happiness.

After the autumn harvest comes the sowing season. The villagers have been resting these days, but they will be busy again in a few days.

Ying Han has been herding sheep honestly these days. Every day he goes to the mountains to find some mushrooms for Aunt Pei to see. If Aunt Pei says they are edible, Ying Han will take one out and plant it in the space. As for fungi, as long as there are some bacteria on them, they can survive if they are put into the soil.

"Ying Zhiqing, you come and herd the sheep."

"Sister Guihua, are you going into the mountains?" Ying Han met Li Guihua who was coming down the mountain at the foot of the mountain and greeted her with a smile.

"Well, I'm going to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. Ying Zhiqing, you've taken really good care of the sheep. They're growing really strong."
