Everyone Pampers the Small Blessing Who Has a Spatial Pocket! - Chapter 120
120 The Children’s Thoughts
Liu Shi was actually prepared to be tortured to death by her mother-in-law. Only when she arrived at the Wang family did she realize that the more powerful the rumors outside were, the more different it was in reality.
Although the Wang family was really poor, they were all good people. Occasionally, the other sisters-in-law would have some thoughts of their own, but they would never play any tricks behind their backs. If they had anything to say, they would say it on the spot.
Even if they were a little dissatisfied, everyone accommodated each other and the family lived peacefully.
!!
Back then, the Wang family also thought that the girl Wang Chuanman married was definitely not good. Usually, when girls reach 15 years old, they would marry. If the family doted on them, they would be married by 17 years old. There must be a problem if a girl’s marriage was delayed to 18 years old.
In the end, when Liu Shi entered the family, everyone realized that this was an especially kind sister-in-law. It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky, making everyone secretly heave a sigh of relief.
However, how could luck be so kind as to patronize them again and again?
It was impossible for their eldest grandson to wait until he was 20 years old, right?
If the eldest son and eldest grandson could only get married at the age of 20, how long would the remaining grandchildren’s marriage be delayed?!
Before the elder brothers and sisters got married, unless there were very special circumstances, the younger siblings could not get married first.
Madam Feng felt her hair turn white.
“Mother, this matter has to be resolved. We can’t let those matchmakers spout nonsense outside!” Madam Feng couldn’t care less about whether Old Madam Wang would scold her or not. She immediately frowned and said, “Back then, we suffered because of the rumors. My husband went out to work and was found out to be a member of our family. His salary was lower than others.”
How malicious were the rumors? Their Wang Family was deeply harmed. Moreover, these rumors spread quickly and stopped slowly.
If nothing unexpected happened, their Wang Family would have to carry this shameful reputation for the rest of their lives.
Not only that, but at that time, Wang Chuangui had gone out to do some hard labor. It was unknown where the supervisor found out about the Wang family, but he also looked down on them very much, so he specially arranged heavy work for him.
Wang Chuangui’s body was relatively small. How could he withstand such heavy work?
Because of that, he developed a problem with his legs. After two months of hard labor, he could not stand up anymore. It was a few brothers who went over to carry him back.
From this, it could be seen how important reputation was to people in this world.
When one encounters those harsh people, that person’s reputation would be ruined. Unless he traveled far away and concealed his identity, he would be looked down on for the rest of his life.
Most people could not stand the pain and chose to kill themselves.
Old Madam Wang pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll make a trip to the county city tomorrow. Don’t worry about this matter for now. Dalang, don’t look for a match for the time being. Learn martial arts from Mr. Chi more. It’s always good to accumulate some skills.”
Wang Dalang nodded repeatedly.
When everyone was discussing, Little Ah Yu was not at the scene. This matter was too serious and it was not suitable for Little Ah Yu to listen in on.
The other kids were also in a piece of land that Old Madam Wang had specially “given” to them.
She said that from now on, they would be in charge of everything on this land.
In the future, the output of that land would also be theirs.
That piece of land was reclaimed by the Wang Family. It was not fertile and was even worse than second-rate fields. The harvest was not good either. The only benefit was that after five years of farming, it would become the Wang Family’s land.
They studied academics for two hours every day and martial arts for three hours. After that, they could move freely.
Little Ah Yu was now led to the fields by her brothers, especially Wang Wulang. He was especially superstitious about Little Ah Yu’s luck, so he asked Little Ah Yu to choose what to plant in this field.
Little Ah Yu naturally wanted to plant wild fruits.
All kinds of wild fruits were so delicious!
Wang Wulang hesitated for a moment. “But what’s the point of planting wild fruits? They can’t be used as food, nor can they be used to pay taxes. Most of the wild fruits can cause bloating if you eat two more.”
Wang Erlang had an idea. “My father told me before that there are some stalls in the county city that sell fruits, but those fruits were plucked from fruit trees by others. They’re different from these small wild fruits. But what if someone buys them?”
This was only a superficial thought, but it gave everyone a good direction to think.
Little Ah Yu said, “Why should we sell the fruits? We can eat them ourselves.”
“How can we finish it all? It’s such a big piece of land. If we plant only wild fruits here, we’ll have to collect several baskets!”
Little Ah Yu drooled at the thought of having several baskets of fruits.
However, she really could not finish it.
When Meatball heard these children speak, it thought to itself that it could actually make fruit genes if they couldn’t finish them. It could use a special storage method to increase the lifespan of the fruits.
However, it needed a special container. This world didn’t seem to have one.
It gave up on the idea.
“We can dry them in the sun!” Little Ah Yu was a little puzzled. “If we can’t finish the herbs at Brother Little Tong’s house, we’ll cut them up and dry them into dried pills. If we can’t finish our fruits, we can cut them up and dry them into small fruits!”
Wang Wulang slapped his head. “That’s right. Our Ah Yu is really smart. Fruits spoil easily. Let’s dry them and sell them. We can sell them at a higher price.”
Wang Erlang shook his head. “Most fruits are sour. They’re also sour after drying in the sun. We can’t sell them.”
“Not necessarily. Aren’t there two date trees behind the mountain? The fruits are sour when they ripen. But when they’re hung on the trees and dried, they won’t be so sour to eat,” Wang Liulang said.
“It’s still very sour,” Wang Qilang said.
Wang Sanlang, who especially liked to study, said, “Then should we add some sugar to the dried fruit?”
Wang Sanlang vaguely remembered that when he was very young, his Third Aunt was pregnant with twins and her stomach was terrifyingly big.
At that time, Doctor Hu diagnosed that she had two children in her stomach, which shocked the villagers. This was the first time they had seen twins.
At that time, Third Aunt suddenly became a foodie. Moreover, she loved sour food the most. Fourth Uncle had specially gone to the mountain to find the dried sour dates.
However, after eating too many sour dates, she felt uncomfortable in her mouth and there was a lot left in the house.
Their grandmother grounded the sugar in the house into fine powder and stuck them to the dried sour dates. Once everyone ate them, they felt that the sour and sweet taste was very good. However, most of them still entered Third Aunt’s stomach.
Sugar was very precious, and it had only been wasted that one time. Wang Sanlang remembered it very clearly.
Wang Erlang also remembered that they seemed to have eaten dried fruit dipped in sugar.
“Why don’t we listen to Sister Ah Yu? Let’s plant wild fruits. Although there are many wild fruits on the mountain, they’re not common. It’s not easy to pick them from some places that they grow in. Why don’t we just plant them in the ground?” Wang Erlang said. “It’s easier to manage them if we plant them in the ground. Moreover, wild fruits are definitely very easy to grow. They can grow freely in the mountains. If we fatten them up a little, they will definitely grow better.”
Little Ah Yu immediately clapped her hands. “Yes, yes, yes. Let’s plant fruits. Ah Yu knows which fruits are more delicious!”
Little Ah Yu had already thought it through in her heart. When her brothers planted the wild fruits, she would secretly water them. The wild fruits would definitely grow faster, and she would be able to eat the fruits earlier!
At this moment, the villagers passed by and saw the Wang family’s children. They hurriedly waved at them and said, “Ah Yu, are you playing in the fields? Are the adults around? I have something to discuss with them.”
Little Ah Yu said, “Yes, Uncle. Can you find our house? Ah Yu will bring you there.”
