While doing it, I was thinking randomly, and I didn’t feel so tired anymore.
The whole journey was very slow, and luckily it was still small. It was around seven o'clock, and the sorghum seedlings in the two acres of land were finally finished.
This time, her heart felt much cooler. Now that her physique was very good, thanks to the transformation of the spiritual spring water and working every day, Su Yuanyuan thought that she would not drink the spiritual spring water today and try to recover tomorrow.
To be honest, she didn't want to rely too much on the spiritual spring water. After all, the amount was not large. However, she still had to satisfy her appetite. She ate a beef rice bowl and lay down beautifully on the kang.
When I got up the next day, I felt it was okay. Although my calf was sore, it was still within an acceptable range.
After breakfast and feeding the sheep, I went to the ground with my knife and hoe.
Su Yuanyuan was discouraged when she arrived at the field. The corn seedlings looked quite strong, but the weeds were also lush. It was like a green carpet.
There are also weeds in the fields that were snatched out a few days ago, but relatively speaking there are a lot less of them.
Su Yuanyuan squatted down to work helplessly. For those who had already thinned the seedlings, it was better to wait until the half-acre of land was finished and use a big hoe to weed. The handle of the hoe had been changed to the length of her own height. It was quite easy to use.
People in the surrounding area started working yesterday afternoon. They have a lot of land and there are many people working on it. Each person has two ridges and is pushing forward.
Everyone was living in a family, and she was alone, but she also kept her ears open to listen to other people's gossip.
In fact, most of the time, as an outsider, it is quite interesting to listen to those parents who are mean-spirited. As long as the protagonist is not yourself.
At this time, a little girl caught up with Su Yuanyuan.
"Are you almost done with your work?"
Su Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, was she talking to herself?
"No. The grass that was thinned out a few days ago has come out. It still needs to be hoeed."
"Yes, my family is like this too. But it should be clear after weeding this time. Can your sheep still be used?"
"Well, it should be possible. This piece of mine is custom-made. There is no problem with it."
"Su Yuanyuan, how do you train your sheep? Why can't my sheep do it well? Just tell me, so that my family doesn't have to wait for my uncle's family to finish training."
Su Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed and couldn't lie, "Actually, I really haven't trained. You also know my situation. I can't work these two acres of land by myself, and I can't afford to buy donkeys and cows. At that time, I just asked the sheep to help me."
Sheep bought with the idea of working.
I didn’t expect it to be possible, and I wasn’t sure about it in the past. When I was doing the work, the blacksmith even advised me that I was treating a dead horse like a living horse doctor.”
The little girl was quite disappointed. She also knew that Su Yuanyuan bought the sheep in the twelfth lunar month and had no time to train it. So she still believed what she said.
"Every year, my family waits until my uncle dies before we can use a donkey, but that donkey costs my family more money. Our family weeds the grass more often than other families every year."
Su Yuanyuan sympathized with this little girl. She also knew about her family's affairs.
The person who was talking to her just now was Zhao Yanli, the youngest daughter of the Zhao family. Their family has two sons and three daughters. Life is still okay. However, the patriarch, Zhao Tian, is rather pedantic and takes special care of his brothers.
Although they are separated, when there is something that requires their brothers' joint efforts and money, he is always the one who suffers.
His daughter-in-law Han Lixia is honest and regards her husband as her first priority. She never shows dissatisfaction or contradicts her husband.
Even if the children don't want to, they dare to get angry and dare not say anything.
Two little girls of the same age are working side by side, and they inevitably say a few words. Although the Zhao family is not enthusiastic about Su Yuanyuan and does not move around, they will never exclude her.
They have no problem with their own children being willing to date that girl who is said to be a bad girl.
"You see, my corn seedlings are much smaller than yours. That's because my family is the last one to plant the fields." The little girl didn't say it loudly because she was afraid that her father would scold her.
What could Su Yuanyuan say? She knew that the crops were planted one day late and harvested ten days late. Anyone who grew up in a rural area knew this, so she had better not talk too much.
"Yuanyuan, your two acres of land will be harvested earlier than mine."
Su Yuanyuan nodded awkwardly, "Yes, I planted it earlier."
Let’s quickly change the subject: “How much reclaimed land does your family have?”
"With six acres of land, there is no time to open up more land. My uncle's family has more than ten acres of land to open up wasteland."
Why did it shift to this again? It seems that the opinion was too big, and he became the target of her confiding.
Forget it, just listen to her complaining, that is, respond with yes.
He is someone he can't afford to offend, and he doesn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, because he is afraid that when the time comes Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror and looks like a different person.
"Yuanyuan, when are you going to be green? I also want to see your sheep working.
But you should still buy a horse bit, so that when the sheep eat the corn seedlings, they are really harmed, and you have no place to cry."
Su Yuanyuan feels that this little girl can still get along with each other in the future, and she will be much better than Sun Hongying from the Sun family yesterday.
"Well, the horse-chewing sheep will definitely not be able to carry it. It's too big. My sheep won't be able to eat the corn seedlings."
"How can any livestock not eat green food?"
"I'll know after trying it. If it doesn't work, I'll buy it again." This is the person's good intentions and their knowledge.
The two of them were talking while working. When they reached the end of the field, Su Yuanyuan was quite puzzled. How could they finish a ridge so quickly?
They were both people who were used to working, so the two of them didn't take a break when they reached the field, they just turned around and continued working.
In this way, the friendship between the two people quickly took a step forward. There were many more topics to talk about.
This half acre of land is six ridges, and after three trips back and forth, it was all finished before noon.
"Yanli, I'm going back first and weeding with a big hoe in the afternoon."
Seeing the little girl looking at her with envy, the old aunt Su Yuanyuan suddenly felt proud. Could it be that because she has become smaller, she is also childish?
With a smile in his eyes, rather like a proud rooster, he turned around and left.
After arriving home, I didn't rest. I also had to hoe the grass in the sorghum field in front of my house. It would be much easier to do it now than in a few days when the grass has taken root.
In fact, Su Yuanyuan was forcing herself now, and she was already very tired. But she didn't want to give up just like that, and persisted until after twelve o'clock, then took off her straw hat and went home.
Her hair has grown a lot, but due to sweating, strands are sticking to her scalp. Su Yuanyuan is not looking in the mirror now, otherwise she would have to think of a solution as soon as possible. This image is really unsightly.
It's because she wants to focus on other things since she doesn't have the energy.
