Lin Shitou carried the basket to deliver it to Hu Zi. Hu Zi was sharpening his sickle at home. When he saw Shitou coming, he hopped on one leg to greet him.
Lin Shitou helped him in and asked, "Where are your parents? Why did they leave you alone at home?"
"Oh, they went to the fields and will be back soon. How come you got so many delicious foods?"
"Hehe, Lin Wan asked Yusheng and I to bring you some food to nourish you so that you can get well soon. Yusheng and I went to harvest dates today and we were almost dead from exhaustion!"
"How's your collection going?"
"We harvested more than 200 kilograms today. The people in their village are too fond of taking advantage of small gains. Not only are they fussy about every pound, but they also always put some rotten and bad ones in the mix. Yusheng and I were so angry that we picked them all out!"
"That's really annoying. I'll be there in two or three days. I'll go with you guys!"
"Okay, take good care of yourself. I still have to go to Lin Wan's house for dinner! She bought a donkey today, hired someone to build a donkey shed, and cooked a lot of delicious food!"
"You only know how to eat!" Lin Huzi patted him, "Okay, go ahead and eat more!"
"Okay then, I'll be leaving first!"
When Lin Yusheng went to Shen Mo's house, they were having dinner.
He put the food down and said deliberately: "Shen Mo, this is what Lin Wan asked me to give you, so that you can get well soon."
Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then said casually: "I'm fine. I was just too tired yesterday. I'll be fine after a night's rest."
"Then why don't you go with us today..." Lin Yusheng paused, thought for a moment and said, "I thought you were injured too. Okay, as long as you're okay, eat more for dinner, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Sun Zhenzhu said unhappily, "Shen Mo is busy tomorrow! He still has to harvest the crops, so he has no time to play with you. Okay, the things have been delivered, so hurry back!"
Lin Yusheng ignored her and said to Shen Mo: "Then I'll go back first. If you have anything, just call me directly."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shen Li frowned and said to her: "Mom, how can you talk to Ah Mo's friend like this? If it gets out, people will laugh at you!"
Sun Zhenzhu brought out all the food and saw that it was all meat. She was satisfied and said, "Humph, that girl has some conscience. Okay, okay, let's eat!"
Shen Mo picked up a large bone and put it into Shen Li's bowl, "Brother, let's eat."
"Don't worry about me, just eat more."
Shen Mo ignored Sun Zhenzhu, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth, eating in big mouthfuls.
Sun Zhenzhu snorted coldly and ignored him, concentrating on enjoying the food in front of her. She didn't eat enough yesterday, so she had to have a good meal tonight.
Lin Wanwan waited until everyone was present and started eating. Everyone chatted and laughed as they enjoyed a large table of food, their mouths drooling with joy. They were having a great time.
After dinner, Li Yuying stayed to help her clean up, while Lin Wanwan stewed the remaining pig head.
Before she left, Lin Wanwan stuffed two taels of silver into her hand, but Li Yuying refused to take it.
"Sister-in-law, there is one or two taels of silver that Dafu returned to me. You gave it to him on my behalf. You paid for the bricks and the labor. I have to give you this money. Just take it, sister-in-law. Don't push it away from me."
"No, no, this is too much, we can't use all of this!"
"Not much, there's also your wages for today in there!"
"My salary is only thirty cents, I don't need that much."
"Sister-in-law's salary will definitely increase. It will be three taels of silver a month, and it will be paid every ten days. Sister-in-law, just take it."
"What do you mean three taels? Kid, whose salary is three taels of silver a month? How can you be such a spendthrift?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and pushed her out the door, "As for me, I can now give you three taels of silver. Sister-in-law, take it and go back. I want to go to bed!"
After saying that, he quickly closed the door.
She stood in the yard and looked at the donkey shed, which was large and sturdy. The donkey was very comfortable in it. She went to the workbench and mixed some cornmeal, and put it in for the donkey so that it could eat more and take them to the county town tomorrow.
Tonight, she was finally able to lie down and rest early, but Lin Wanwan couldn't sleep. She went to her space to find a few books to read. She usually read more about agriculture. She didn't bring her cell phone with her, so it must have disappeared along with her body.
Flipping through the books, she found a copy of "Tiangong Kaiwu" tucked at the bottom. It was a comprehensive work summarizing ancient agriculture and handicraft production. Some of the content was suitable for this era. She took a quick look and tried to find something that she could use.
As she read, she gradually fell asleep. The chirping of insects outside was like a lullaby. The cool night breeze blew into the room, making the books rustle, but it did not wake her up.
Early in the morning, Lin Wanwan woke up to a commotion. It turned out that the autumn harvest had started today, and everyone went to the fields early to harvest rice, making a lot of noise.
Li Yuying also came early to call her, "Wanwan, let's go early and come back early today. We still have to work in the fields when we come back."
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go home early today."
They did not meet Uncle Youcai on the way. They must have been busy with farming today and no one had time to go to the county town. She looked at the golden rice fields and the villagers bending over to work. She thought that when the autumn harvest comes next year, she will also have a good harvest!
As soon as she arrived at the market, she was surrounded by people. It turned out that they were all waiting for her braised pork. Although it was made of pig offal, it was cheaper than meat and tasted just as good as meat. It became popular in the streets and alleys overnight and many people came to visit.
"Stall owner, weigh me two kilograms of stewed pork!"
"I want one too! I want one too! I want five more roujiamo!"
"Oh, little girl, why is there a pig's head here?"
Lin Wanwan shouted loudly: "Don't worry, we made a lot today, and we also have pig head meat! The price and taste are the same, everyone can try it! And the pig head meat is meaty!"
