The seeds were obtained from Russia. It seems that after I sent the medicine there, I will come back here.
By then the temperature here will be suitable, and the two children will be fine here.
When I got home, I thought that my mother had already cooked the noodles for making dumplings and soaked the dried cabbage. It was okay anyway, I could cook by myself.
Also, just add more cooked fatty meat to make it more fragrant.
Nowadays, everyone is busy, and I am the only one who has nothing to do. There is nothing wrong with cooking. Just wear gloves when washing vegetables.
By the time Liang Caixia came back, Chen Miao's dumplings were almost ready.
"You don't need to."
"I'm fine. It's just cooking."
The children were all sensible and helped light the fire and clean the yard.
Chen Maolin ran to ask his grandfather to come for dinner. Chen Miao asked Xiaoling to cut the cold vegetables. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he really couldn't keep it, so he might as well let them all eat.
Chen Dongsheng ate the dumplings and smiled, "Your third aunt must have mixed the stuffing. You are the only ones who are reluctant to put so much meat in it."
The children were all very satisfied with the meal. The dumplings were so delicious.
"As long as she is willing to do so." Liang Caixia also said with a smile.
"Eat everything you have, but don't let it go bad. There are still two pieces of fat meat left. Let's continue making dumplings tomorrow. Eat them all to avoid wasting anything."
"In the afternoon, I took a few children to farm the fields, going from house to house."
"It's okay. We have a lot of animals at home, so it's quick to follow them."
Chen Miao has never been very clear about the time for farming. If the old farmers say it is possible to farm, it means it is really possible.
Several children helped clean up after eating. Being young and strong, the children didn't feel tired, so they simply got ready to farm.
Even the two girls Xiaoling and Xiaoqin are very good at planting.
Chen Miao had nothing to do at home in the afternoon, so she decided to prepare meals.
She is really not that squeamish and has no problem doing some work without affecting her health.
My three brothers and my mother's family all have small donkeys, but we don't need so many. Two donkeys are enough.
Originally they were right next to each other, so planting them was not that troublesome.
It was almost seven o'clock when they came back in the evening. Dinner was still dumplings, something good to eat after being so tired.
"Xiao Qiang, run fast and deliver dumplings to your aunt."
Chen He and his wife had also just arrived home, and a basin of dumplings would definitely be enough for them.
Every household in the village is farming. Generally, there are two people missing from the family, and at most four or five people are missing.
The old, weak, women and children left at home are not unable to work, although it is slower, but they can work for two more days.
When I came back on the evening of the third day, all the four families' land had been planted, and the remaining land was used to open up wasteland for planting miscellaneous grains, but it was not time to plant it.
On the fourth day, Liang Caixia took several children to help the eldest daughter and her mother-in-law.
Chen Dongsheng went to buy pigs, and he estimated that his uncle and the others would be back today and tomorrow. There were still four days left before the full moon banquet for his two grandsons, so it was indeed time to prepare.
Shen Jianfeng is indeed handing over today. It was supposed to take four or five days, but they were one day late.
Although he was anxious, he still had to hand over the work clearly.
The person who came was also very understanding and handed over the work very quickly.
Shen Jianfeng mainly needs to hand over the money matters clearly. The remaining ones are Li Chengguang. He will take the soldiers who went to Tongda County to stay here for training and wait for Shen Jianfeng to bring them over.
He had made it clear to Li Chengguang during the past few days of waiting, so half a day was enough for him to set off with his people.
Even if you are in a hurry, there is no way. There are more than a hundred people, and even if there is a carriage, they cannot go that fast.
We arrived at the county seat at around nine o'clock. We had already made arrangements on the way and we were all going home today, that is, we would meet in the county seat on the morning of March 19th.
They all already know where they are going, and they will be given a few days to help with household chores when they return.
The people who came from Zhao County were directly handed over to Li Chengguang's deputy Zhao Dafu. He told them that the thirty people would be incorporated into their team.
The people in the village have gone back, and he can't ride a horse any slower than them.
When he met them at the entrance of the village, he was riding home in a hurry.
Chen Miao lives by herself at night now. When she heard the noise outside, she guessed that Shen Jianfeng was back. In fact, it was already late for him to come back.
I lit a candle and went to open the door with a flashlight. He had already jumped in and was opening the door.
"Daughter-in-law, please come into the house and I will bring the horse in."
Chen Miao stood still and helped him take care of it. Shen Jianfeng got water and fodder for the horse and came quickly carrying two large bags.
"Let's go inside."
After the two came in, Shen Jianfeng looked at the two children first. It has been almost a month, and the changes have been huge.
She looks very cute and chubby, but she is really very beautiful.
Chen Miao was already on the kang, so she didn't care what happened to him.
Shen Jianfeng looked at them for a long time and wanted to reach out and touch his sons' faces, but he still didn't reach out his hand.
"Daughter-in-law, who is the third child?"
"The one on the left is the third child, Shen Yunchang, and the fourth child is Shen Yunyu."
Shen Jianfeng grinned, "My son's name is well chosen."
"You'd better go wash up first. There are steamed buns and two sausages in the cupboard."
He reluctantly looked away and went out with a change of clothes.
Chen Miao changed the diapers of the two little ones at this time and quickly fed them both.
They eat a lot now, and it feels like they ate more than when Yun Shan and Yun Xin were so old.
After Shen Jianfeng took a shower, he came in and saw his wife facing the wall. He thought she was feeding the child and saw the diaper on one side being taken out for washing.
By the time he came in after washing and eating, my mother was already lying down.
I was really dissatisfied with my position. My wife was at the head of the kang and my two children were in the middle.
He stepped onto the Kang and picked up Chen Miao.
"What are you doing? Let me go."
"Don't move, I will hold you and talk to you."
Although he couldn't do anything, he remembered what his mother-in-law told him last time, and he would definitely not hurt his wife.
Chen Miao knew that he had no strength even if he struggled. He was still in confinement and he couldn't do anything.
Shen Jianfeng hugged his wife and lay down, covering himself with a quilt. Why did he feel so comfortable? "Daughter-in-law, I miss you, I miss you every day."
Chen Miao didn't expect that he would say such words. In his mind, Shen Jianfeng was a tough guy.
"Daughter-in-law, I will leave after I have spent a full month in Yunchang and Yunyu. I have been given an order from above to liberate Tongda County."
"That means I have to go to the south by myself?"
"You take Chen Yi and the others with you."
Chen Miao thought for a while, "Tongda County is a big county. There must be a lot of national troops there, right? Will the higher-ups send teams here?"
Shen Jianfeng kissed his wife's forehead and said, "No. The guerrillas over there have two companies of troops, and we can bring almost two companies there."
The national army has two battalions stationed in Tongda County. We don’t know the specific situation yet, but we have sent people over to investigate.”
