Chen Miao thought that she should give her little sister some instructions, just do the hard work and ignore her if she goes too far.
The two sisters separated. The third mother arrived at Erqiao's house. The other two families had not arrived yet. She entered the yard and pointed out the piglet to the two children.
"Yunxin, come and count how many pigs there are?"
The two children pointed one by one with their fingers. The two brothers Ohashi and Erqiao were surprised. Their own children were already in their teens and could only read numbers. They didn't expect that these two little ones could do it too.
Chen Miao smiled and nodded. "There are six pigs. How many pig legs are there in total?"
Chen Miao asked this question jokingly, and never thought that such an old child could say it.
Unexpectedly, only a minute later, the two brothers spoke at the same time, and they said it correctly.
"It's great. Yunshan and Yunxin are all great."
I don’t know how the children calculated this, but they must have their thinking.
At this time, the Futashi family came in, followed by two women.
They all live in the same village, so of course they all know each other. Chen Miao smiled and called someone, and asked the two children to call someone.
The two of them want to live here for a while and have a good relationship with the villagers.
They all smiled and exchanged some pleasantries, and Chen Miao asked the other two women to pick first. She really didn’t think the pigs were the most important, and half of them depended on what they were fed. If they were given skin, bran, and other things to eat all day long, they would definitely look good.
Not fast.
The two women also felt quite embarrassed. "You can choose the one from Xiaodun's family. It'll be fine." said the Erqiao family.
After they picked it up, the two brothers from Daqiao and Erqiao sent it over.
There were three little pigs left. Chen Miao chose the two that looked bigger.
The pigsty at home has been cleaned up a while ago. When we get home, we need to lay a layer of hay to avoid catching cold.
The two brothers Daqiao helped put away the pig trough and went back with the money.
Yunshan and Yunxin were more curious about the piglets. They were watching from the pigpen door.
There are two more living things in the house, and there is a lot of tofu residue, so they can grow much faster.
Two days later, Chen Miao and her two children went farming with the rest of the family.
"You go back with your two children, you are not needed here."
Chen Miao saw that he was indeed of no use, "Then I'll go back and plant some peanuts."
When working with two children, the land has already been plowed and can be made into ridges for planting.
If you plant peanuts on more than half an acre of land, you can probably produce two to three hundred kilograms of peanut kernels, right?
"Can you go change into rain boots?"
Yun Shan and Yun Xin both shook their heads. They like rain boots. No other children have them, only they have them.
Chen Miao didn't say much. Children are naturally strong-willed. They must know that wearing rain boots for a long time will make their feet smell stuffy.
Even if you tell them now that your feet will stink, they won't be willing to take them off, so why not let them know about your smelly feet later.
I planted half of the rice in the morning and ate steamed buns and beef stew. The cornmeal had no skin, so the children ate it without any problem.
Of course they had to rest after the meal. They took off their shoes themselves, and the smell of foot odor immediately wafted out.
Chen Miao just looked at the two of them.
"Mom, it stinks."
"Do they smell bad? Rain boots can only be worn when it rains. This will happen if you wear them when you shouldn't."
Now both of them were honest. Chen Miao had no choice but to soak her rain boots with water.
While they were sleeping, she continued to plant peanuts. Anyway, the half acre of land must be planted today.
After the brothers Yun Shan and Yun Xin woke up, they went to the ground to put on their shoes and ran to find their mother. Chen Miao sighed that they had really grown up.
Before it gets dark, half an acre of land has been planted. I guess the corn and soybeans should also be planted.
Just after feeding the animals, Chen Tong came over.
This kid has been going to school for more than two months, and he looks a little different from before.
"Third sister, I want to take a break the day after tomorrow and go to the county town to buy a dictionary."
"Dictionary? Did your husband ask for it?"
"Hmm. The bookstore in town has no dictionary."
"I have a set here. Can you see if it's the one you requested?"
Chen Tong looked at the dictionary and nodded, "Yes. That's it. Some people bought not six copies. Our husband can't say it's complete. Only six copies are complete."
Chen Miao nodded, "Yeah. Then take it and use it. Be careful and return it to me after you use it."
Chen Tong took it carefully and said, "Third sister, if the bookstore in town buys it from me, I will return it to you later."
Chen Miao did not refuse. This thing was quite meaningful, but he couldn't let him waste it.
Liang Caixia looked at the book in her son's hand, "Does your third sister have it? Is this for you?"
"Yes. You lent it to me. My third sister said she still wants to use it. I will take care of it carefully. Mom, when the bookstore in town sells it, you can buy me a set and I will return it to my third sister."
Liang Caixia thought for a while, "You'd better use your third sister's. Don't damage it. A set must cost a lot of money."
Chen Tong was reluctant and did not dare to say it. Only after going to school did he realize that it would really cost a lot of money. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as food and clothing all cost money.
The third sister’s dictionary is also new. Their class still uses an old one.
In fact, Chen Miao really didn't want to come back. By saying this, he was telling Chen Tong that he must take care of her.
I will still buy two sets when I get the chance in the future. This is a good thing, but now they are all reprints. It would be great if there were official manuscripts from the previous dynasty.
After planting the fields, the young seedlings have nothing to do in the past few days. They have to tidy up the vegetable beds in the yard.
Plant carrots and celery, both of which have special flavors. But eating them is good for your health.
After May, she was busy weeding. Chen Miao knew that her eldest sister had a lot of work at home, so she was the one doing the weeding in the fields.
I get up early every day to go to the fields with my two children, and only feed the animals when I come back.
At the end of May, while we were thinning seedlings, we heard the cry of two children.
Looking back, I saw Shen Wufu and Zhao Erniu standing at the edge of the field.
When I saw Zhao Erniu, I thought there might be news from the south. Now I'm looking forward to Huang Youwei's news.
Quickly walked to the end of the field. "Uncle Zhao."
"Girl, here are your letters. There are two of them. They were sent to me at midnight last night."
Chen Miao was a little excited. She took off her dirty gloves and took the letter.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"What's the trouble?"
"Let's go home. Yun Shan and Yun Xin haven't eaten yet? You all go to my house. Your aunt cooked sorghum rice and water rice."
"Uncle Wu, I made dinner in the morning and went to my house."
Zhao Erniu's carriage was still at Shen Wufu's house, so their mother and daughter went home directly.
What I made in the morning was steamed buns, half of which was white flour, and baking powder was used, so it was soft when steamed.
When she had prepared the meal, the two of them arrived.
"Uncle Zhao, you're welcome to eat at home."
Sorghum, yam, sweet potato, Japanese melon porridge, and fried cabbage. In the countryside, this is already a pretty hearty breakfast.
Chen Miao has already read the letter. Huang Youwei has 50,000 pennicillin, which was shipped by sea from the opposite side and has already reached his hands.
