Yesterday, I had no experience catching the first pheasant, so I cut off its neck with a hatchet. In fact, I could catch the second pheasant alive, but it was troublesome to explain it alive, so it was easier to chop it with a hatchet.
Wei Xingyu looked at Zihua with her big eyes, "Sister is so amazing."
Miao Dalan responded, "That's right, your sister can do anything. Your sister ranks first in every year in reading. The shoes she made for me when I was ten years old fit my feet. No one in our team is as handy as her. When you were a child,
I can cut pigweed behind your back faster and more than others."
"My sister is really good. When I was little, my sister would make me delicious food every day."
Juhua:……
When the accident happened to the original owner, Wei Xingyu was just over four years old. How many things from childhood can he remember, and how many times can he remember it every day?
Zi Hua finally knows how Wei Xingyu became sister-controlled. She was indoctrinated into it by Miao Dalan. The key point is that Miao Dalan did not inculcate it to Wei Xingyu intentionally, but that’s what she thought.
good.
Also, before the original owner fell ill, he was good-looking, well-educated, skillful, and quick at work. The most important point was that he followed Miao Dalan's temper half way and spoke fluently, which made Miao Dalan like him as much as he liked.
Miao Dalan became worried again, "Xing, you haven't gone far, have you?"
How could Zihua tell the truth, "I didn't go far. I walked on the mountain and sweated all over. I felt less tired."
Wei Baoshan agrees with this point, "People have to move around. It's less likely to get sick if the body is active."
"Hey, Xing's hands are so strong." Miao Dalan happily put the pheasant on the stove, "I'll clean it up right now and eat it for lunch, and add some potatoes to stew it together."
Although there are many pheasants and hares in the mountains, they are difficult to hunt. Pheasants can fly and hares can run fast. It is difficult to catch up with them on the flat land, and it is even more difficult to catch them in the woods due to the complicated terrain.
Setting a trap is a good way.
However, being able to lay traps is a craft that is generally not spread among the public. There are not many people who know how to lay traps in Weijiagou.
If you dig a hole casually, you won't be able to catch prey, but you will easily injure other people.
For example, Wei Baoshan knows how to catch fish in a cage, but he has never learned how to hunt and set traps. The family has not eaten game from the mountains for a long time.
At noon, the family had delicious stewed chicken.
The stewed chicken is made by Weibaoshan.
Miao Dalan's cooking skills are good enough to eat, and Wei Baoshan's cooking is more delicious, but he doesn't cook it often. When the family wants to make meat, Wei Baoshan cooks it as long as Wei Baoshan is at home. In the words of the original owner's grandma, Miao
Da Lan is a waste of meat.
The staple food is corn pancakes. The corn is pressed into a pancake shape and attached to the edge of the chicken stew pot. One end is soaked in chicken juice, not to mention how fragrant it is.
Juhua's taste is sensitive to unpleasant foods as well as delicious ones. If she wasn't afraid of scaring others by eating too much, she could finish a pot of vegetables and cakes.
In comparison, the snacks she had on the mountain were not that delicious.
In just a few days, she realized what it was like to have delicious food.
Is it possible that she should learn how to cook?
When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Zihua said that she would go to the fields with her, and she helped Wei Xingyu deliver the pigweed.
Miao Dalan thought that Zihua was tired of staying at home and wanted to go to the fields. She just said that she would come back when she was tired and there was no need to tell her. Because she was assigned to weed the cornfield, and when people came in
You can't see anyone in the cornfield, so it's hard to find anyone.
The whole family left the house together and headed towards the entrance of the village.
To go to the fields, you usually exit from the main village entrance. The main village entrance is on the south side of the village, facing a large field, and it is the closest to the fields.
The Yuhua family came out early, and there are few others like them.
But when we meet, we can't help but say a few words.
Probably because there was little entertainment in this era, meeting and chatting became the main way for villagers to spend time. Therefore, although everyone saw each other every day, sometimes several times a day, they would still say a few words to each other when they bumped into each other. The least talkative
He also asks people, "Have you eaten?"
When I saw Yuhua, I asked about her.
"Xingxi, are you going to work too?"
"Seeing that Xingxi has really healed up this time, her face has calmed down."
"The longer Xingxi grows, the more he looks like her uncle. People say that a nephew imitates his uncle. Your Xingxi and Xingyu all agree with this..."
Miao Dalan loved hearing these and responded to them one by one.
"When my family doesn't work, they just go to the fields to look around."
"It's much better, but it's not completely healed yet. You have to take care of it at home, and then go to the ground after it's done."
"It's not bad, they both imitated her second uncle..."
Zi Hua didn't know where they figured out that she and Xing Yu looked like Uncle Miao. They were probably both fair-skinned.
It was this kind of useless words that maintained the connection between people, and Zi Hua felt that there was something interesting about it.
There is a ginkgo tree that has been growing for hundreds of years near the entrance of the village. There is an old well next to the tree, which is the source of water for the village.
When people in Weijiagou have their free time, they like to sit under the ginkgo tree and enjoy the cool air.
It is noon now, and there is no one under the ginkgo tree. There are only two people on the well platform fetching water.
Except for those who live near the entrance of Zhengcun, all other families have to pass through this area when going out from the entrance of Zhengcun.
This area is also where the brigade headquarters is located. The yard of the brigade headquarters is just to the north of the ginkgo tree, about twenty or thirty meters away.
"When, when, when..."
As soon as the Zihua family arrived at the gate of the brigade headquarters yard, the brigade headquarters rang the work bell for the second time, which made people's ears ring.
It's said to be a bell, but it's actually a piece of scrap iron, and the sound it makes when struck is loud enough.
The brigade headquarters is in the center of the village. Iron pieces are hung on the trees in the yard of the brigade headquarters. The sound can be heard far in the whole village, including the families living on other flat slopes.
Most of the people then came out of each house one after another, walking into the fields talking and laughing.
Miao Dalan and Wei Baoshan took Wei Xingyu to the entrance of the village, while Yuhua walked to the back of the brigade headquarters with a basket full of pigweed on her back.
Weijiagou adopts centralized breeding. The pig-raising shed is behind the brigade headquarters yard. Pigs are an important asset of the brigade, so a separate yard is set up for this purpose, and a courtyard wall as high as a person is built.
For the sake of convenience, the pigweed brought in is delivered directly here.
The place where pigs are raised doesn't smell very good. Fortunately, the place where grass is collected is located at the entrance of the yard, so the smell is not too strong.
"You are..." Sister-in-law Qiu Hong, who was in charge of collecting pigweed, did not recognize Yuhua.
"I'm Wei Xingxi, and I'm working for Wei Xingyu."
Sister-in-law Qiu Hong said sheepishly, "Hey, I don't even recognize you after two years of absence."
She kept on turning over the grass that had been dumped into the big basket. There were no poisonous things that had been accidentally cut, which pigs couldn't eat, and there were no clods of earth or stones. They were all good enough to be harvested.
She put the basket on the floor scale, weighed it quickly, recorded today's weight in Wei Xingyu's name, and calculated the work points together when the harvest was delivered in the afternoon.
Zihua said hello to sister-in-law Qiuhong and left.
She did not go into the fields first, but entered the yard of the brigade headquarters, found the brigade captain Wei Fusong, and told her the reason for her visit.
After Wei Fusong listened, he asked confirmingly, "You said you wanted to learn to be an agricultural technician?"
