When Lin Hai came back after shopping, Li Yu estimated that it was almost two o'clock.
There were no clocks or anything like that in this era, so people could only estimate the time by looking at the sun.
Li Yu originally wanted to eat something in town, but after spending so much money on the paper money, she felt like she was going bankrupt.
I don’t dare to eat it anymore. I’d better go home and eat some black-faced steamed buns with wild vegetables.
Hey T^T
Moreover, poor families only eat two meals a day. They have already eaten one meal in the morning. How can they explain to their two children that they have to eat another one now? How can they live like this?
It's really uncomfortable ╯﹏╰
Seeing Lin Hai coming back, he asked them: "Do you know what your family still needs? We can go buy some. I have been drowsy for the past few days and don't know what I need."
Lin Hai said he had enough, but Lin Mei said, "Mom, we don't have much rice at home. Since you weren't out buying rice during the few days you were sick, my sister-in-law only put out a small handful every day, for fear it would run out."
Li Yu thought about the clear porridge at home and nodded to indicate that it was time to buy rice.
They arrived at the nearest rice shop and were surprised to see that new rice cost 20 wen per pound, and old rice cost 15 wen.
The price of white flour was as high as 30 wen per catty, and the double flour made by mixing black flour and white flour also cost 20 wen. Corn flour, on the other hand, was 15 wen per catty.
Really, Li Yu felt like he was really going to starve to death.
She didn't know whether the price was expensive or not, she only knew that she was very poor.
He had 45 wen left after buying paper, Lin Mei gave him 8 wen, and Lin Hai had 6 wen left after buying hair flowers and candied haws.
Now all my belongings are only 59 cents.
So, with all my money, I could only afford 4 kilograms of rice. And it was stale rice.
An adult's collapse only takes a moment, and Li Yu felt that he had collapsed in that moment.
It’s numb!
In the end, Li Yu only bought two kilograms of rice, and it was stale.
The three of them were about to go home, but when they passed by a bun stall, the aroma of the meat buns filled Li Yu's nose.
To be honest, Li Yu has never felt that meat buns are delicious in modern times.
Thinking about the wild vegetable steamed buns and the clear porridge you could see through the bottom of the bowl that he had been eating these days, Li Yu couldn't walk anymore!
She said, "Since we're out, let's buy something for everyone. Since there's not much to buy, let's just buy everyone a meat bun. It's economical."
Li Yu would never admit that he was greedy, woo woo X﹏X
Of course the brother and sister had no objection, in fact they were also greedy.
They have almost forgotten what meat buns taste like. Apart from eating them once during the Chinese New Year, they basically can’t eat them at other times.
Although Lin Hai is mature and steady, he is just a 20-year-old boy, and in modern times he is still a student.
In this way, Li Yu bought 7 big meat buns, each costing two cents, spending 14 cents in total.
Well, after this trip, Li Yu only has 15 left out of his 100 coins.
Finally, he could go home. When he went back, Li Yu didn't want to walk at all costs. He just wanted to go back.
She didn't care whether it was a waste of money or not, she wanted to take a taxi. Yes, there were ox carts running back and forth in the village every day, and it only cost one copper coin per person to get to the village entrance.
After spending three copper coins, Niang San finally got on the bus.
If you ask why the Lin family didn't drive an ox cart when they went into the city even though they had cows, don't ask. The answer is that they had cows but no cart.
Sitting in the car, Li Yu finally had the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.
In ancient times, the road back to the village was a long and uncertain one, but the scenery along the way was like a beautiful ink painting, refreshing and pleasant.
The slightly yellowed wheat swayed in the wind, as if dancing to welcome the returning wanderers.
The farmers in the fields are busy working. Although their faces are tanned by the sun, their eyes are full of anticipation for a good harvest.
Walking along the path, quaint villages appear before your eyes from time to time.
The houses in the village are built with earth and wood, and look very simple and peaceful.
The stream in the distance is gurgling, and the cool water makes people feel very comfortable.
The road back to the village in ancient times was a poetic and beautiful journey.
The scenery along the way is picturesque, which makes people feel spiritually cleansed and sublimated.
This journey is not only a journey home, but also a journey to find inner peace and beauty.
This journey was very healing for Li Yu.
If it weren’t for my hungry stomach and the aroma of buns that kept coming into my nose.
Li Yu would probably be in a good mood, feeling like he was on a picnic.
We arrived at the village entrance in less than an hour.
The three of them paid and entered the village. It was already afternoon and every household had started preparing dinner. They didn't meet many people in the village.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw Mrs. Zhong coming out of her house carrying a basket.
Li Yu was very puzzled, because the Zhong family was better off than the original owner's family, so they never took things from the original owner's family.
Seeing Li Yu, Zhong smiled cheerfully and said, "You're back! I don't know if the chives in the old house were destroyed by some bug or if they got sick.
Mom has been clamoring for some leeks these days. I remember when I came to Yang Liu last time, she said your leeks are growing well this year. It's a bit too much to eat, so I thought I'd come to your garden to pick some."
Li Yu said, "If you want to eat, come and cut some yourself. We can't eat all the food. Eat one crop and another will grow. Don't be shy."
Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "I know, I know. Go back and rest and eat. I see Yang Liu has already cooked, so I'll go back and clean up and prepare dinner."
After saying that, the man left.
Li Yu sighed! What an impetuous person! She was planning to invite her to have dinner here.
But I also know in my heart that the other party will not stay.
