Chapter 54

Lihua Village started to become busy again.

After finishing the burial matter, they had to busy repairing their own house.

Nanzhi was a little curious as he watched the villagers forming groups and walking towards the end of the village early in the morning.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Aunt Guihua followed her family towards the end of the village and saw Nanzhi stretching her neck and looking at the door.

"Aunt Osmanthus." Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed when she was caught peeping. After a moment of hesitation, she asked the question in her heart.

"What are you doing here?"

Aunt Guihua smiled at Nanzhi's embarrassed look, pointed to the long team and said: "We are going to the West Mountain to cut down trees to make beams. Di Niu turned over and the house at home has almost collapsed and needs major repairs.

, but how is your house? I saw your two brothers coming over to help you repair the house two days ago?"

Nanzhi was startled and stepped aside so that Aunt Guihua could see her yard clearly: "My house is fine, half of the roof collapsed. My two brothers came over and helped me repair it."

Looking at the room, Aunt Guihua was a little stunned. It took her a long time to react, with surprise on her face: "Ah, your two brothers are so good at their craftsmanship? It seems to me that they are no different from before."

Nan Zhiqian laughed twice but said nothing.

If you say as much as you want, just treat it as your brother's craftsmanship.

Lin Yicheng, who had just sat down in Dashi Village to have breakfast, suddenly sneezed.

Mother Lin glared at him with some disgust: "Is it possible that you caught a cold in this hot day? Don't offend Doudou and Maomao."

Being disliked by his mother-in-law, Lin Yicheng scratched his head, no, he wouldn't catch a cold even in this weather.

Lin Ercheng just wanted to laugh twice, but his nose felt itchy and he sneezed twice in a row before stopping.

Seeing his eldest brother gloating about his misfortune, Lin Ercheng curled his lips and just continued eating.

After saying a few words, Aunt Guihua followed her to Xishan. Nanzhi cooked two bowls of potato paste before going to wake up the dog.

"Mom, I'm sleepy." The dog yawned.

"Does the dog want to continue sleeping for a while?" Nanzhi asked looking at the dog.

It's still early anyway, so it's okay to let him sleep a little longer.

"I need to get up and be with my mother-in-law."

Looking at the dog's dazed appearance, Nanzhi just shook his head and coaxed the dog to go back to sleep, then ate some mashed potatoes.

After putting the dog's portion in the pot to warm, Nanzhi went to the backyard again.

The big river mussel in the wooden basin has some white flesh exposed, and occasionally spits out two bubbles.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the river mussels, Nanzhi went to the water tank again. The river shrimps in the water tank could be regarded as the family's reserve meat, so nothing could happen to her.

After removing the wooden board that covered it, the water tank suddenly became brighter. The shrimps were so surprised that they ran around and gathered under the water plants that Nanzhi pulled back from the river.

After confirming that all the river shrimps were still alive, Nanzhi washed her hands and looked at the chestnut paste she had left to dry outside yesterday afternoon.

The chestnut paste in the dustpan has now dried and turned into a large piece of hard brown flakes.

Seeing that the color was similar to the chestnut noodles she had eaten before, Nanzhi felt relieved.

It should be done, right?

I carefully broke off a small piece with my hands and put it into my mouth to taste it. I only felt a slight sweetness. Next, I only need to grind these chestnut lumps into fine powder and it is almost ready.

When the dog woke up, he found that his mother was not around, so he quickly got out of bed with his butt naked and looked around for someone.

"Aniang! Aniang!"

Nanzhi was pushing the stone mill and tossing it when she heard the dog's voice calling her in panic.

Knowing that the little guy was sensitive, he quickly walked out of the utility room and waved, "Dog, grandma is here."

When the dog saw Nanzhi waving towards him, he immediately stopped talking and rushed over with bare feet.

"Aniang, the dog thinks that Aniang doesn't want the dog anymore."

Hearing the dog's coquettish words, Nanzhi wanted to rub the top of his head with his hands, but was afraid that the chestnut noodles on his hands would get on his hair, so he only said softly: "Why don't you want the dog? Go and wash up, Aniang."

I left breakfast for you."

"Yeah, yeah." The dog just hugged Nanzhi and nodded, then let go and went to the backyard to wash up.

Washing meant wiping the face with a handkerchief. Since there was no toothbrush or toothpaste here, Nanzhi taught the dog to wipe its teeth with cotton strips dipped in salt water.

After washing, the dog went back to the room to put on his clothes and pants. Finally, he put on his little cloth shoes and went to the main room to wait.

Nanzhi, on the other hand, had already taken out the warm potato paste from the pot and put it away so that the dog could eat breakfast directly after washing it.

She went to the utility room to grind noodles again.

The dog finished its meal obediently, then took a small stool to find Nanzhi.

Seeing Nanzhi wiping sweat and grinding his face, the dog felt a little sorry for his mother-in-law.

"Does the dog want to eat chestnut noodles?" Nanzhi asked with a smile, fearing that the dog would be bored sitting there.

"I want to eat." The dog nodded.

"Okay then, grandma will make chestnut noodles for the dog to eat at noon."

Nanzhi smiled and nodded, grinding for another quarter of an hour before finishing.

Looking at the slightly brown chestnut noodles, Nanzhi felt happy.

At noon, she would try to see if she could make chestnut noodles. If it worked, she would tell Li Zheng about it in the afternoon.

Nanzhi shook the chestnut flour she finally ground out. She remembered that she used chestnuts that weighed more than ten kilograms. After removing the shells, they should have weighed a little more than ten kilograms. Now when ground into powder, they only weigh about five or six kilograms.

The amount of flour produced was only one-third. Nanzhi didn't know whether it was too much or too little. He just wanted to ask Aunt Liu at noon.

After putting the chestnut noodles into the kitchen, Nanzhi took the dog out again.

Since chestnuts can be ground into chestnut flour, she has to go to Dongshan to pick some chestnuts.

She and the dog have no land now, and there is no one in the family who can make money, so they can't rely on that river oyster to spit out pearls to support the family.

Looking at the current situation, it will never go wrong to stock up on more grain.

After asking Gou'er whether he would go to Aunt Liu's house to play with Doudou, or follow him to Dongshan, Gou'er thought for a moment and said, "Gou'er and Auntie are going to pick up chestnuts!"

Nanzhi nodded and led the dog into Dongshan with the basket on his back.

The weather now is a few degrees warmer than when I first walked through it. Nanzhi was afraid that the dog would get heatstroke as he walked. Finally, when he arrived at the chestnut forest in Dongshan, Nanzhi hurriedly took off the dog's outer clothes.

.

"Dogs, be good and don't go out into the sun. Do you understand?"

Nanzhi looked at the dog whose face was red from the sun and gave instructions carefully.

"I know, grandma." Gou'er also wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The chestnuts on the outside were picked up cleanly by the villagers. Even if they have become more ripe and fallen in the past few days, there are still not many.

"Nanzhi."

After picking up chestnut branches for a while, I felt my back and legs hurt. As soon as I stretched, I heard someone calling me.

Turning around and looking over again, who is it if it’s not Wu?
