Chen He's family looked at the two little ones curiously, but they still didn't move at all.
"Third sister, you can farm your own land when you come back. We have already opened up two acres of land, and there is another one at the north end of the village that can be opened up."
Chen Miao shook her head, "Sister, it's better for you to do it. There is no need to pay public food now, so it should be unnecessary."
We still do what we agreed before, our two families grow.
I work when I have time, and I leave it all to you when I don’t have time.”
Now Chen Miao is thinking about penicillin. He will never forget Zeng Ziwen's expression when he talked about this medicine.
It's really sad that a grown man can show such an expression of surprise.
It would be great if I could go abroad. But I have no way and I am also afraid.
Now I am thinking that even if it costs more, as long as someone can transport it to the country, it will be fine.
When the time came, Chen Miao reminded the two children, and they ran over happily. She didn't have much impression of Chen He's family, but if her mother came and laughed, she was not a bad person.
In children's consciousness, there are only good and bad.
"Sister, I see there hasn't been much rain this year. If that doesn't work, you can plant more sweet potatoes." Chen Miao was kind-hearted. Their family could say they had nothing. What would happen if a disaster really happened.
There is still some certainty about sweet potatoes. Although there are insects underground, they are still much better than food on the ground.
"Dad said the same thing. There are a lot of sweet potato seedlings growing at home this year. You still have so many here, it should be enough."
"Well, as long as you understand."
"Third sister, I want to grow some soybeans."
In just over two months, I have made a dollar, but of course I have no money, but the soybeans I got can be sold for a dollar.
"Sister, it's up to you. You can plant whatever you want on those three acres of land. We, the three mothers, can't eat much.
My family has saved so much rubbish, so I might as well buy two pigs and raise them.”
Chen He quickly shook his head, "Third sister, you raise pigs. Even if you are not at home, we will help you feed them."
Chen Miao thought for a while and nodded. "I'll go to the village tomorrow to ask and buy two pigs." If he doesn't have much time at home, he can give them one in the twelfth lunar month.
The eldest sister doesn't dare to support her because she has no money. In fact, she really knows what it feels like. When she was poor, she was afraid of doing anything, and she didn't have the guts to fight because she couldn't afford it.
It was getting late and the family left.
The next day Chen Miao took her two children to Erqiao's house.
When we entered the yard, we saw the pig pen. The pigs were really well raised.
"Second Aunt, is Xiaozhu ready to go out?"
"Two are scheduled to go out, and there are three more."
"Then I want two." The pig pens and pig troughs are ready, but there are no pigs.
The main reason is that I dislike the taste of summer. However, it seems unreasonable to not raise pigs when there are so many tofu dregs.
"Okay, when are you going to catch the pig? I'll ask the other two families to come together."
Chen Miao understands that this is because he is afraid of conflicts in the future because of the pig's slow growth. They all catch it together. It is your choice. No one picks first. If the pig really grows slowly, you can't blame others.
"Second Aunt, I can catch you anytime. Just tell me the time you set."
Just take out the firewood from the pigsty, and the rest will be no problem. By the way, you also need to make a pigsty door.
I'm really afraid that if they run out, the vegetables in the yard will suffer.
"Zhong, I'll tell you after I say hello."
Chen Miao did not stay at Erqiao's house longer and took her two children up the mountain.
It feels like it has been a long time since I went up the mountain. The two children now have strong legs and can walk very far.
It looked like the ground on the mountain had been plowed, but there were still wild vegetables.
The cotton grown here last year will be planted here this year with sweet potatoes, saving the need for repeated cropping.
There was a big pickaxe in my hand, so I started weeding. After a while, the sweet potato ridges were dug out. The sweet potato seedlings were already quite big and could be planted.
The two children were running and playing next to their mother. When they were tired, they would sit and play in the dirt. When they were thirsty and hungry, they would have something to eat and drink.
It wasn't until a little later that the sweet potato ridges were dug out. The two children were also wilting. They were used to taking naps.
The mountain wind was too strong, and I was afraid that they would fall asleep. As soon as I turned around, the two children actually fell down and fell asleep, which shocked Chen Miao. After confirming that they had really fallen asleep, they put them away.
.
I originally wanted to go home, but since that's the case, I went to another piece of land and dug ridges so that cotton could be planted.
They were released an hour later when they were about to wake up.
It's more fun to play in the mountains than at home.
"Mother, mother, look."
Chen Miao saw a rabbit that ran away.
"Mom can't catch it."
Chen Miao looked at the two children who were eager to try. "Rabbits can run very fast. When you are older and exercise regularly, you will be able to catch up with the rabbits."
The children absolutely believe what their mother says. All they want in their minds is that they must exercise.
I didn't go home until it was almost dark. There were still a few ridges that had not been plowed. I will plow them tomorrow when I plant cotton. I should be able to finish them early in the day.
Lying on the hot kang at night, I really felt tired, especially my arms. I had done a lot this day.
Maybe because I was tired, I dreamed about Shen Jianfeng in the middle of the night.
I was frightened and woke up. After I woke up, I still forgot what I had dreamed about.
At this time, Shen Jianfeng was surrounded by Japs. He led three squads and only three people were left, four were seriously injured and six were slightly injured.
"Company commander, we will cover you and rush out."
"Stop talking nonsense, everyone is eating now."
They didn't bring much food with them. The thirteen of them looked at the queue and started eating obediently.
Shen Jianfeng quickly calculated in his mind, what should we do? The Japs' firepower was too strong, and they would have to hold on for forty-eight hours before the main force would come.
I was full. Suddenly I felt energetic all over.
"Company Commander, I think I can still fight with them."
Shen Jianfeng nodded, "You can all do it. Now take a break. This time should also be the time for the little devil to eat. Let's rush."
"Company Commander. We don't have many bullets and grenades left."
Shen Jianfeng nodded, "Rest now, and try not to make any mistakes when we charge later."
Shen Jianfeng had seen the map in his mind. In fact, it was not for nothing that the Japs guarded this place with such heavy firepower. It was impossible to pass elsewhere. It was true that one man should guard the gate and ten thousand men should not open it.
It's definitely not possible to go head-to-head now. We don't have the strength, but it's not easy to use tricks.
He knew that the Japs must also be observing them. With such heavy firepower, in their minds they should have wiped out all the soldiers here, right?
Otherwise, let them think that there will definitely be little Japs coming to clean up the battlefield. But that would be very risky. The good thing is that there won't be too many Japs coming.
