Chapter 21 The beginning of spring and the busy farming season
The third room of the Li family waited until Xiao Feng and others were satisfied with the food before they calmed down. Yang left early and only took a package of snacks. Xiao Feng ate and took more. In addition to the cakes, she also took a good writing brush. In addition to clothes and cakes, Yuxiu also brought a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones to Li Youzhi as a gift.
Mrs. Liu sent Wulang and Qilang to deliver things to the upper and fourth rooms, and then directed Erlang, who cleaned up the messy things in the house, while he fed Sanxiao.
After all this fuss, Yuezhen expressed that she really missed the days she spent at her grandfather's house. She didn't think it was a big deal in the Li family before. It is true that people no longer have to endure hardships after they get used to living a good life.
A few days later, Li Youzhi went to the county school with the things prepared by Feng. Several other sons of the Li family who were due to enter the school also officially entered the school. Yuezhen wanted to go to the school to check out and borrow books. It was shattered. Although this was just a village school, the rules were very strict. No one except an elderly woman was allowed to enter. Yuezhen had to take care of her children obediently at home, secretly sighing about the time before traveling through time. Why don't you buy some books! It's really boring!
Fortunately, she didn't have to be idle for long, and spring plowing began. After the men plowed the fields, they began to prepare for fertilizing and sowing seeds. Spring wheat and corn are mainly grown here, but rice, soybeans, sorghum and other crops are also grown. The Li family has a lot of land and a lot of people, so they just plant more varieties. The women also have to be busy growing vegetables. This is not only the source of vegetables for the family every day in the future, but also raises chickens and pigs outside. , they would also give some old vegetables, clappers, rotten leaves, etc. Well, as soon as spring started, Mrs. Feng went to catch four piglets and dozens of chickens and came back. The whole family was like this inside and outside. I will be busy until May.
Because the second son, fourth son, and fifth son of the third bedroom all entered the school, and the Liu family was busy, Yuezhen consciously took on the responsibility of taking care of the third child. Sometimes even the eighth son and Wanzhen of the fourth bedroom followed Yuezhen. Today The triplets are more than 8 months old. Although the triplets have never had enough milk, they have grown strong with the rice grown in Yuezhen's space and cooked with rice paste. The most naughty Eleven Lang has now grown She started to learn to crawl. Once, Yuezhen accidentally fell off the kang. Fortunately, the kang was not high from the ground and nothing happened. Now, the triplets have to eat two to three eggs for every meal. , without adults watching, Yue Zhen has a certain degree of freedom. She often secretly takes some eggs from the space to stew them for Qi Lang, Ba Lang, Jiu Lang, and Wanzhen to eat. Occasionally, she will squeeze some eggs from the space when no one is around. The goat milk was given to the triplets to drink. Now Yuezhen is the favorite person of the triplets and Qilang, not even their mother.
For more than half a year, the Sanfang family passed by Yuezhen and secretly used Lingquan water to warm their meridians. Their energy and energy have changed. Mrs. Liu looks much younger. Although Li Sanzhi works hard every day, he feels more and more energetic. Erlang and several boys have also grown a lot taller, especially Erlang and Shilang, who are still in the growth stage. They have grown much taller in the past six months, and their reading is getting better and better. They seem to have endless energy. I get up early every morning and practice boxing with Li Sanzhi. Even the two children in the fourth room have grown a lot stronger because they take supplements with Yuezhen from time to time, which is thanked by Mrs. Zhang for a good meal.
Yuezhen has always wanted her brothers to learn martial arts, so that they can not only protect themselves in this unfair society, but also strengthen their bodies. Unfortunately, the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is too overbearing, and the kind of pain is really not something ordinary people can handle.
It is bearable and easy to be discovered. Yuezhen has been thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to take it out. So far, she can only put a drop of spiritual liquid in the tea that her family drinks every day, slowly making it cheaper.
Dad and brothers cleanse the marrow.
After entering May, the weather is gradually getting hotter. Before dawn, the chickens have not crowed, and the fields are already full of busy farmers. Every household is still praying when sowing: I hope it will be a good day again.
If we have a good harvest this year, we will be able to make new clothes for our elderly, women, and children at the end of the year. We will also be able to cut a few more kilograms of meat and live a good year. Many old farmers are worried that they have already planted it.
The dealers often wander around the fields to see if there is a lack of water in the fields, whether there are any weeds or insects. Only the little children are still playing in groups, chasing chickens and dogs, and playing hide and seek.
Cats might show off what new toys they got or eat a few extra candies during the Chinese New Year.
** months have made Yuezhen very accustomed to ancient life. Sometimes she even wonders whether her previous life was just a dream. She only discovers it when she occasionally dreams about friends, colleagues, computers, etc. from her previous life.
, it turns out that I really did have a past life.
"Third brother, there isn't much work in the fields these days. Me, your second brother, and your fourth brother can do it. You go to town more and see if you can get any work!" Old Man Li was finishing his breakfast.
I have to take two long puffs of cigarettes.
"Hey, Dad, I'll go after dinner!" Li Sanzhi drank the porridge without a few grains of rice with a "hoo!" and then took a bite of the steamed buns. Li Sanzhi was sent to a carpenter as an apprentice since he was a child, and he was very good at it.
He is good at carpentry and will follow the carpenter to do carpentry work in his spare time. This is also one of the main sources of income for the Li family.
"Here,,,hey, we haven't finished the spring plowing at home yet. Let the third brother finish the work at home first and then take on the work outside!" Ms. Liu looked at the dark and thin man in front of her with a distressed look on her face. Last year
The little meat I had raised during the winter had long since fallen off, so I was asked to go out to work outside after I was busy. I didn’t even have a day’s rest. I ate the worst multi-grain steamed buns all day long, and drank water so thin that I couldn’t see the rice grains.
I'm eating porridge, my stomach is empty, my body is so strong that I can't bear it, you still treat me like a human being!
In the Li family, there is a certain amount of food for each meal. Those who are assigned to the three-bedroom family usually have the smallest wotou. When the porridge is assigned to the third-bedroom, the rice grains are all fished out. As for the rice,
Yes, it was rare for the Li family to have a meal on weekdays. The rice they cooked occasionally was made with sweet potatoes, and the third room often got sweet potatoes. But when it came to work, Li Sanzhi was indeed the one who contributed the most.
Old Man Li is already over 60, which is considered a long life in ancient times. Although his body is strong, he is gradually unable to do the work in the fields. Li Dazhi went to school since he was a child and has never worked in the fields before.
When Yuezhen first came here, Li Dazhi went to the fields because of little Feng's constant fuss. But for a person who has never worked in the fields and doesn't despise farm work, how much help do you expect him to do; Li Erzhi
He is a lazy person, and he is smooth-talking all day long, but he is able to coax Feng. When it comes to work, he has a headache today and an upset stomach the next.
He is a rare person in the Li family who can help. The Li family has more than 100 acres of land, and they never hire helpers. All the work is done by the family, which shows how hard Li Sanzhi works.
"Look at what the third brother and sister said. We don't have the jobs in this family. It's just a damn guy like mine who has no work to do and is not in good health. Otherwise, I would rather he go out and earn more money from work." Little Feng raised her eyebrows and said, she didn't believe that the third room was really so obedient and didn't secretly hide some wages.
"You..." Isn't it obvious that the third wife keeps her own money? Tian Di's conscience. In the past, Mrs. Liu foolishly handed over all her dowry. That is to say, the family rules have changed recently and she embroidered more purse handkerchiefs. Just sell it, but there are several children in the third room going to school, and the three little ones don't have enough milk, so they always have to buy some eggs and polished rice to eat. If it weren't for the money from selling ginseng, Mrs. Liu would be worried to death.
"Then, second uncle, let the second uncle go to work in the town. I can't bear to leave my father. I want my father to hunt pheasants for me at home!" Seeing this, Yue Zhen hurriedly put down the bowl and climbed onto Li Sanzhi's lap. He hugged Li Sanzhi's neck and pretended to be reluctant to let go.
"Look at this little guy in our family. He's really smart. He also knows that he won't be able to see his father when he goes to town. Then he went to work and bought candy for Yue Yue to eat. Did he hit it?" Mrs. Yang wiped it with a handkerchief. Wiping her mouth, she smiled and was about to pick up Yuezhen. Yuezhen hid and looked at Yang with bright eyes, and there seemed to be saliva on the corner of her mouth (don't doubt it, this girl is really greedy, even though there are chickens and ducks in the space) In a group, this guy was a chef in his previous life, but he had never killed a chicken before, and he didn’t dare to do it at all. When he was greedy, he only dared to secretly get some fish in the space to eat.)
"Really? But I still want daddy to accompany me. Besides, pheasants are more delicious than candy!"
The people next to him looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to answer.
"Wait until daddy is done with his work, then he will hunt pheasants for our little Yueyue to eat!" Li Sanzhi was very happy when he saw his daughter taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms. After all, there are several boys, but there is only one girl, so naturally she is the most precious and the most painful!
"Okay, okay, stop grinding and whining, go ahead and do what you have to do,,,, if you are not busy, you can eat and drink whatever you want. I thought our family was a big family. We can take a break after being busy for a while. "I'm looking at people in their 60s and they're not tired of shouting yet. This family is in trouble. Brothers in the family have to help each other." As soon as Mrs. Feng opened her mouth, everyone in the Li family was speechless. , each one found various excuses to run away.
"Third brother, don't forget to bring me a pack of embroidery thread. I'm just about to buy it! Mom, Xiaoli got some new patterns and asked me to come over and see them. I'll learn how to embroider them for you and make them more beautiful. This purse of yours is old and needs to be replaced!" Yu Xiu stood next to Feng and said with a smile.
"Your mother and I have already stepped into the dirt, so why do we need a new purse? It's more serious for you to embroider more things for your dowry. You're not young anymore. I'm looking forward to seeing you, mother." I can find a good family!" Mrs. Feng touched her daughter's fair and tender face, and was very satisfied with her daughter's filial piety.
"Oh, mother, what do you say about whether to marry or not? If I don't marry, I won't marry. I want to stay with my parents all my life!" Yuxiu stamped her feet, blushing with embarrassment.
"If you don't get married yet, you will have to blame me and your father when you become an old girl!" Feng joked. Old man Li on the side looked at his slim and shy girl with a smile on her face and bowed to Sanfang and his family. He left as if he hadn't seen it.
