On the other side, Zhang Chunnuan was counting the property hidden by the original owner in the Shen family room.

"...Eighteen, nineteen, twenty."

On the canopy bed by the window, two stacks of paper-like objects, one thin and one thick, were neatly placed.

The slightly thinner ones on the left hand side are more than a dozen various bills, including five food stamps, two cloth stamps, and several other bills.

The thicker ones on the right are banknotes. The largest denomination is 10 yuan and the smallest denomination is 1 cent. The total adds up to 323 yuan and 75 cents.

One hundred yuan was the compensation for Shen Hu's accidental death, and two hundred yuan for selling his job in the mine, for a total of thirty yuan.

From the perspective of future generations, these properties are simply pitiful. However, in this era, especially in rural areas where many families cannot touch a single banknote, the Shen family who owns this property is considered a "big family". people".

To be honest, although the original owner's natal family, the Zhang family in Luosigou Village, was indeed suspected of selling their daughter, it was undeniable that she did marry into a good family.

Not to mention that Shen Hu, as a husband, was obedient, but he did not have a mother-in-law, which made married women and girls to be married from all over the country envious.

If it weren't for the original owner's natural beauty, even if she was starved and skinny, she could not conceal her beauty, Shen Hu would not have fallen in love with her.

Within a few days of the marriage, he took control of the family's finances and drove his father-in-law to the cowshed.

Zhang Chunnuan felt that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

She gathered up the money and bills on the bed. Just as she was about to put them back, she seemed to think of something, so she took out a cotton handkerchief, neatly wrapped the money and bills, and took them into the farm house with a wave of her hand.

Although in this era, households are not closed at night and people do not pick up lost items on the road, Zhang Chunnuan feels that he should be vigilant. After all, there are only himself and Father Shen at home, an old man and a pregnant woman. Anyone in the village who has evil thoughts will be ruined for the whole family. disaster.

After packing everything, Zhang Chunnuan walked out of the room holding her stomach.

Father Shen was grinning and moving things. When he saw her, he quickly put down the things in his hands and asked: "Nuan'er, are you hungry? Dad will cook for you right away!"

As he spoke, he wiped his hands on the sides of his pants, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chunnuan hurriedly stopped him: "Wait! I'm not hungry."

In fact, she doesn't want to face Father Shen too much yet.

In her previous life, she was an orphan with little family affection, and the original owner had a nonchalant attitude toward her father-in-law.

On the one hand, she felt sorry for the old man, but on the other hand, she was worried that she had changed too much and made people suspicious.

Unexpectedly, Father Shen's expression suddenly changed after hearing her words. He hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, "Is that where you feel uncomfortable?"

Thinking of Zhang Chunnuan being alone and going out all morning with a big belly, he became even more anxious. "Don't be afraid, Nuan'er. Dad will go to the village chief and borrow a bullock cart to take you to the health center!"

Zhang Chunnuan saw that she was just in a daze, and Father Shen had already walked to the courtyard gate on straw sandals and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, I'm fine!"

She didn't know why she blurted out "Dad" just like that.

But once you call it once, it becomes much smoother and more natural when you call it again.

She held her belly and walked towards Father Shen who looked in disbelief, "Dad, I'm really fine. I'm not hungry and I'm not feeling uncomfortable."

Father Shen stood stupidly in front of the courtyard door, turned around and looked at Zhang Chunnuan blankly.

Since her daughter-in-law married into the Shen family, she has never called her dad, and she rarely talks to her. Even if she wants to talk, it is always "hey" and "hey".

To be honest, if they weren't the only two people in the yard, and if he had just heard her call her daddy, he might have thought that her age had misled her.

"Nuan'er you..."

Zhang Chunnuan saw Father Shen's eyes were red, and she didn't want him to say too sensational words, so she quickly interrupted: "Dad, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"What are you doing?" His daughter-in-law finally asked him for help. Father Shen was only happy, so how could he not respond?

"Actually, it's nothing. Aren't we going to collect cotton in the village this afternoon? Dad, can you bring me some cotton seeds?"

In the memory of the original owner, the village would peel out the cotton seeds after harvesting cotton every year, and someone would come to collect it.

She doesn't want much, she just needs to secretly borrow a few when she is harvesting cotton, and after she sows the seeds on the farm and harvests the cotton, she will return them without anyone noticing.

Father Shen looked embarrassed when he heard this. The harvest from the fields must be handed over to the government. Although a few cotton seeds were not many, they also harmed the collective interests.

If this was discovered, he would not be able to escape being criticized or even sentenced to a labor camp. If this was not discovered, he would not be able to live with it.

After Zhang Chunnuan finished speaking, she stared at Father Shen's face, not missing the slightest trace of hesitation or embarrassment on his face.

Of course, she, who was fused with the memory of the original owner, knew the struggle in Father Hu Zi's heart. She smiled, then touched her belly and said:

"Dad, I'm kidding you. I didn't feel it just now, but now I'm really hungry and want some porridge."

Anyway, the cotton would have to be seeded after it was taken back. Then she would act on her own initiative and get a few seeds herself.

When Father Shen heard that she was hungry and wanted to drink porridge, he didn't care about anything else. He asked her to wait obediently and walked quickly to the kitchen.

…

Half an hour later, Zhang Chunnuan was sitting in the main room. On the dining table was a bowl of multi-grain porridge and a small plate of fried minced bacon with pickles. The meat was the leftover half of a pig carried by people from the mine when Shen Hu's funeral was held.

Father Shen thought that there was a pregnant woman at home who could feed the two of them alone, so he decided to leave two kilograms of bacon, spread it with salt and hang it by the stove fire to smoke it into bacon.

"Dad, please sit down and eat together."

Zhang Chunnuan looked at the porridge and vegetables on the table, and then at Father Shen who was sweating profusely after working in the kitchen.

"I simmered two sweet potatoes and took one to eat on the way. I'll put the remaining one on the stove for you. Remember to eat it. I'm going to the fields."

Father Shen walked out of the yard with a roasted sweet potato in his arms and a rice bag in his hand.

After he left, Zhang Chunnuan picked up the bowl of sea food.

The porridge is made of three-thirds of rice mixed with seven-thirds of ground corn, and the vegetable is a handful of minced meat stir-fried with small pickles made from wild vegetables mixed with coarse salt.

Zhang Chunnuan before time travel would definitely have disdained such food, but when most families in the entire village only had two meals, such a lunch would be extremely good.

She finished the porridge quickly, picked up the pickles from the small plate and stuffed them into her mouth. She left the minced meat, cleaned it up and went to the kitchen.

On the stove is a roasted sweet potato that has been dusted off.

Seeing the sweet potatoes, Zhang Chunnuan thought and walked to the other side of the kitchen.

There were two bamboo baskets woven by Huzi dad in the corner. She stepped forward and opened the lid of the basket, and took out a sweet potato and a potato from one of the baskets.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are only about the size of two fingers.

Although it is small, it should be enough to be used as seeds on the farm.

She has tried it in the past two days, and as long as it is a viable seed, no matter how big or small it is, it can sprout and grow on the farm.
