Chapter 76: Really Can Squeeze Out Powder
Yang Chunhua was carrying a large backpack, moving with a hunched back and struggling. This was what she had picked up, and she also shared some of the things in her father-in-law, Old Man Wang's backpack.
Her father-in-law is old and the mountain road is difficult to walk on, so she is worried that he might sprain his waist.
But she forgot that she was a weak woman, and carrying such a huge basket on her back, how could it be easy?
As she walked, she was left behind, but she was not panicked because her father and brother were at the end.
Seeing the broken yard in front, Yang Chunhua silently encouraged herself and held on a little longer, then took a break at the broken yard.
Suddenly, Yang Chunhua felt a lightness on her back, as if the weight on her waist was no longer heavy.
"Madam, please take a rest! We will carry you on our backs!" It was Su Bucheng's voice.
Yang Chunhua looked up and saw three men with somewhat similar looks taking the backpack, among them was Su Cunlao, whom she knew.
"Thank you, Mr. Su!" Yang Chunhua wiped the sweat off his face, his face flushed red.
"Brother, let me carry it!" Su Laoer argued, "The village is not far away, I can do it alone."
Su Laoer snatched the backpack from his brother's hand, carried it on his back and walked away.
"Oh..." Before Yang Chunhua could catch her breath, she hurriedly chased after Su Laoer.
Su Laoer seemed not to feel the weight of the huge backpack and walked with big strides. Yang Chunhua fell behind after just a few steps and had to walk faster to catch up.
As expected, the physical strength of men and women cannot be compared. Yang Chunhua carried the load like a mountain, but Su Laoer did it with ease.
After entering the village, Su Laoer slowed down his pace. He didn't know where the Yang family lived.
"My dear, please follow me!" Yang understood immediately and walked past Su Laoer to lead the way.
"Chunhua is back!" I met one or two aunts, who looked at the scene in surprise.
He recognized the man as a member of the Su family and knew that the way into the mountain passed by the Su family. Seeing this scene, he secretly praised the Su family for their kindness.
When I got home, the old woman had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her family to return.
"Mother!" Yang Chunhua pushed open the gate.
"Chunhua is back? Where is your father?" The old woman came out and did not see her husband, but saw a man following her daughter-in-law.
"Follow my father and walk last!" Yang Chunhua said with a smile, "This is the young master of the Su family. He helped me carry it back when I passed by his house."
Su Laoer carried the backpack in and put it under the eaves.
"Thank you, Mr. Su!" the old woman thanked him.
"You're welcome, Auntie! Let's go!" Su Laoer put down the backpack and said goodbye.
"Oh..." Yang Chunhua, who came out with a bowl of cold boiled water, only saw Su Laoer's departing back.
When Su Laoer entered the village for the first time, he saw that the families were sparsely distributed, with most of them living in groups of two or three. It was obvious that the families were divided among brothers.
The yard is a low thatched house surrounded by a bamboo fence. There are many vegetable gardens and several fruit trees around it, which is very pastoral.
There were naughty children chasing and playing in the fields, which was much more lively than at Su's house.
After the busy farming season is over, it’s time to build a few thatched houses at home!
There were nearly twenty people in the family, and a few dilapidated houses were simply not enough to accommodate them. Su Laoer was thinking as he walked, why not find a piece of land in the village to build a house.
"Mr. Su!" We met Old Man Yang and a few others on the road.
"Village Chief!" Su Laoer greeted him with a smile, "Are all the people from the mountain back?"
"Yes! Today is a great harvest! Where is Mr. Su going?" Old man Yang asked casually.
"There is a woman carrying a heavy backpack. Help her carry it back home." Su Laoer replied, and the two passed each other as they spoke.
Old Man Yang took a few steps before he suddenly realized who the woman Su Laoer was talking about. He turned around to say thank you, but the person had already walked away.
"Erlang is back!" As soon as he returned home and entered the yard, Xiao Qin came forward to greet him.
Su Laoer was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, looking at Xiao Qinshi vigilantly, wondering what evil she was going to do next.
We haven't been this warm for years, and we just broke up last night, so what's the fuss?
Xiao Qinshi paused awkwardly for a moment, then put on a smile again. "Hurry up and eat. We've been waiting for you!"
"No need to worry!" Su Laoer walked around Xiao Qin and went in.
Xiao Qin was very upset and wanted to explode, but she tried her best to suppress it, adjust her mood, pretend that nothing had happened, and followed Su Laoer.
Su Laoer picked up the bowl of porridge and sat next to his brother.
"Has it been delivered home?" Su Bucheng asked.
"Well! Her home is in the village, and it takes a while to walk there. There is only an old woman at home, no wonder she carries such a heavy burden." Su Laoer replied.
"That's the village chief's daughter. She married into Old Man Wang's family. Her husband, Wang Wulang, was mauled to death by a black bear, and her son died of poisoning from eating raw konjac. Only her parents-in-law and she are left." Su Bucheng said lightly.
"The village chief's daughter? Why does she have such a miserable life?" Su Laoer never thought that there would be someone with such a miserable life in the world.
The young lady who had lived a life of luxury was exiled here. Her husband and son were gone one after another. What hope was there for her in this life?
"Who knows!" Su Bucheng smiled bitterly. Hemp ropes tend to break at the thinnest part, and misfortune tends to find the unfortunate.
After hearing this, Su Laoer said nothing more and drank his porridge in silence. Who here is living a good life?
He didn't notice that Xiao Qinshi beside him was so angry that her face turned green.
Xiao Qinshi happened to see the three brothers helping Yang Chunhua and Su Laoer snatch the backpack, and she was so angry that she felt a dull pain in her heart.
The coward kept cursing, feeling good about it, not feeling any pity, the more he cursed, the more he looked down on the coward, the more disgusted he became.
When you are divorced, you will wake up one day and regret your impulsiveness because no one will support you in the future.
Seeing the man she despised being so attentive to another woman, she felt so jealous that she wanted to go up and tear Yang Chunhua's face off.
Restraining the anger in her heart, Xiao Qin decided to swallow her anger and coax this man back.
After being married for nearly twenty years, she knew that this man was soft-hearted and they had four children. As long as he showed some kindness and gave in, reconciliation would be easy.
She originally wanted to take it slow, but within a day, Xiao Qin found that the situation was not good.
Especially the high spirits on Su Laoer's face when he came back, which Xiao Qin hadn't seen for many years.
Xiao Qinshi realized that men were in great demand here, especially strong laborers.
Su Laoer didn't care what Xiao Qinshi was thinking. He just felt that his ears were much quieter without Xiao Qinshi's noise.
After dinner, everyone continued to work.
Su Ying followed her father out and headed towards the village.
"Aying, where are you going?" Su Laosan asked curiously.
"Let's go to the village chief's house and see how the fern root powder and kudzu root powder are doing." Su Ying replied, "Aye, do you want to go and take a look?"
"Well, let's go and take a look! You guys go too!" Su Bucheng nodded, and several people went to Old Man Yang's house.
"Wow! You guys are here so early?" Old Man Yang had just finished his meal and was looking through the noodles one by one. "Come and see, there are so many noodles."
Su Bucheng opened the flour sieve and saw brown-red water in the upper part of the water tank and a thick layer of flour in the lower part.
Su Lao Er and Lao San were amazed that the inconspicuous rhizome could really be squeezed into powder.
"How is it? How is it?" The village elders also came, and they were always worried about it.
"Look for yourself!" Old man Yang made way.
Soon everyone in the village came to see the fruits of their labor.
Several strong men carefully poured out the dirty water in the upper half, merged the two tanks into one, added clean water and stirred evenly for the second sedimentation.
The original three cylinders of fern root powder were combined into one cylinder, and the four and a half cylinders of kudzu root powder were combined into two cylinders.
It’s just that the amount of fern root powder is much smaller, and kudzu root powder is almost twice that of fern root powder.
"It really works!" The villagers were delighted when they saw the real starch.
