Chapter 54 Sisters Brought Me Food
[My mother can make fermented glutinous rice and glutinous rice balls. She can sell them for breakfast at the crossroads in the fields, and she can also sell snacks at the market on Saturdays and Sundays.]

[Now we support side jobs, and you can openly do small business]

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought of Liu Xihua's expertise.

Liu Xihua didn't want her parents to keep scolding Jiang Daguo, and their lives were indeed getting better and better, so she said quickly, "Dad, Mom, now people are encouraged to have side jobs. It doesn't matter if we don't have land. In addition to delivering vegetables to Daguo, I can also sell breakfast."

"You're pregnant, how can you work so hard?" Liu's mother shook her head.

"I...I'll take it to Daguo to sell after it's done." said Liu Xihua.

Jiang Daguo glanced at Liu Xihua and nodded, "That's right, Xihua doesn't have to go out, I can go out and do the work."

Seeing that they had made such a decision and were so loving, the Liu family didn't know what to say.

The couple are both in their thirties and are usually sensible in what they do. I believe they can get through this difficult time.

However, when Jiang Daguo moved into the team house, he only brought clothes and bedding, but no pots, stoves, or dishes.

Liu's mother felt sorry for Liu Xihua, so she gave them a set of kitchen supplies and asked Liu Changping to drive a tractor to take them to the team house.

After opening the door, Liu Xihua saw the shabby but clean and tidy residence and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the new residence, she clapped her hands, babbled, and expressed her opinions with a smile.

Liu Changping looked around in surprise, "Daguo, it's not bad, you are quite good at cleaning up before it's too late."

The originally dilapidated spacious utility room was divided into three small rooms by Jiang Daguo using sorghum to build walls.

There is a table and a bed in the room. Although it is simple, it is also warm.

"Brother, once Xihua and her daughter are settled, I will start making money and try to move out as soon as possible." Jiang Daguo assured Liu Changping.

"It's useless to tell me. Where you live has nothing to do with me. You have to make a promise to Xihua and her son. Can you bear to let them suffer with you all year round?" Liu Changping said in a deep voice.

Jiang Daguo looked at Liu Xihua, then at Jiang Xiaoxiao who was learning to stand with the help of a small chair, and nodded seriously, "Of course not. I can't bear to let them suffer with me."

Liu Xihua pushed Liu Changping and said, "Enough, big brother, stop talking so much. Do you have any work to do in the fields?"

Liu Changping stopped talking after saying almost everything. "Okay, just live your life well."

He touched Jiang Xiaoxiao's head and left.

Jiang Daguo held Jiang Xiaoxiao and took Liu Xihua to visit their new home, and then talked about the next arrangements.

"We still have a few hundred yuan on hand, which is enough to arrange our future life. Although we have no fields and can no longer pick vegetables, I can buy them from the next brigade. The price difference is double. In addition to sending them to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I can also send them to the vegetable market." Jiang Daguo said.

During the days of delivering vegetables, he took some time to visit the vegetable market in City A and found that many people from the countryside were bringing fresh vegetables to sell.

City dwellers particularly like to eat fresh vegetables. Freshly picked spinach, bean pods, and garlic sprouts can be sold at a price five or six times higher than usual.

Liu Xihua said, "Buy more rice and I'll make some fermented rice wine. You can also send it to City A to sell."

Liu Xihua makes rice wine by adding koji to steamed rice. It is left for one or two days in summer and two or three days in winter to make rice wine.

Add water and cook until diluted, then add small glutinous rice balls or eggs and it will become egg drop and fermented glutinous rice balls.

A few cents a bowl.

Of course, some people also buy the original fermented rice wine without boiling it.

Forty cents a pound.

Jiang Daguo held Liu Xihua's shoulders and said, "But if this happens, I will be busy outside all day, and you will be the only one at home to take care of Xiaoxiao."

"It's nothing. Xiaoxiao is very obedient." Liu Xihua smiled.

[Really? I'll be obedient.] Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded seriously.

"Brother, sister-in-law?" Jiang Meilan's voice came from outside the house. "Are you there? Meilan!" Liu Xihua walked out.

Jiang Daguo followed, holding Jiang Xiaoxiao.

At the door, Jiang Meilan stretched her neck and looked into the room. Behind her, was Jiang Meihua.

In their hands, one was holding a basket of vegetables, and the other was carrying a cloth bag.

It seemed that his pockets were filled with grain, at least twenty pounds.

"What are you doing..." Liu Xihua blinked in confusion.

"I picked vegetables for you. My second sister carried rice." Jiang Meilan said with a smile, "I just picked the vegetables from the field. I didn't let my parents see them."

"I also secretly took this rice from the rice jar." Jiang Meihua said with a smile.

Jiang Daguo put Jiang Xiaoxiao down and went to get something.

Jiang Meilan waved her hands, "No, no, big brother, you hold Xiaoxiao, we'll put... where should we put the things?"

She strode into the house and looked around. "It's quite clean and spacious. It's much more spacious than my house. Brother, sister-in-law, I want to move in too."

Jiang Daguo frowned, "There's no room here."

"I sleep with Xiaoxiao. Where Xiaoxiao sleeps, there's room for me."

"Xiaoxiao, sleep in the crib. Meilan, the bed is too small and there's no room for you." Liu Xihua laughed.

"Ah? Forget it." Jiang Meilan smiled and stuck out her tongue.

Jiang Daguo still put Jiang Xiaoxiao on her special chair and came forward to take the rice that Jiang Meihua was carrying. "Mom will definitely know if you bring out so much rice."

Jiang Daguo frowned and said, "Don't take it next time."

Jiang Meihua smiled and said, "Brother, mom won't find out. Dad just came back from grinding about 100 kilograms of rice. He asked me to pour the rice into the rice jar. I poured some directly into the bag and then poured the excess into the rice jar. Mom won't find out."

Jiang Daguo suddenly realized that this was the case.

Jiang Xiaoxiao secretly admired, how great, the honest Jiang Meihua has also become smart.

After putting the food down, Jiang Meilan played with Jiang Xiaoxiao, and the older Jiang Meihua asked about Jiang Daguo's plans.

"If mom doesn't give you land, how will you live in the future?"

Jiang Daguo told his sister what he had just discussed with Liu Xihua, "We have a way to live."

Jiang Meihua blinked and said, "Brother, how about I help you sell breakfast? I'm usually quite free."

Jiang Meilan turned around and said, "I'll help too."

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened to their conversation and smiled, "Aunt, Aunt."

Jiang Meilan heard her calling her "Auntie" and kissed Jiang Xiaoxiao happily, "Hahaha, you can call me Auntie now, call me Auntie again, I like to hear it."

Jiang Xiaoxiao shouted again.

She not only calls her aunt, but also calls her dad and mom.

But that’s just three words.

She will only be one year old next month, but she can shout out three words, which is enough to make everyone laugh.

Jiang Daguo listened to his sisters' advice and said worriedly, "If mom knew, she would scold you."

"Let her scold me, I won't pay any attention to her." Jiang Meilan rolled her eyes.
