Feeling sticky on his body, Zhang An wanted to take a bath, but it was not convenient to take a bath at home, and the river water in this season was too cold to take a shower in the river.
So Zhang An closed the door to the room, entered the space and took a bath for himself. Of course, he used a basin to fetch water into the grass next to him. Zhang An wanted to continue drinking the water in the pool. How could this be possible?
Swim in it.
The temperature inside the space is constant, which means it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
After taking a shower, Zhang An put on his clothes and then went to see the ginseng plant he transplanted today.
The ginseng seedling that originally had one leaf now has three leaves and is quite tall. Zhang An watered it some.
When Zhang An left the room, Wang Fang was already picking vegetables.
We don’t raise chickens at home, so we don’t have to eat the chicken stewed with mushrooms.
"Mom, why don't you buy some chickens and feed them back, so that you can eat them when you want and sell them if you want."
Zhang An thought about it all the time. As soon as he thought of chicken stewed with mushrooms, he thought about raising some chickens at home.
“We already have so many things to feed at home, so if we buy chickens, we won’t be able to take care of them until we get busy in April or May.”
Wang Fang wanted to raise them. After all, it would cost a lot of money to buy them on the street, but she was worried that she would be too busy and would not be able to feed them well when the time came.
"There is nothing we can't take care of. You see, the ducks at home will go out to find food every day without us having to worry about it. The pigs also eat pig vegetables, so there is no need to cook pig food for them. During this time, buy the chickens back and wait until
In April and May, when they have grown up, we will put them in the cherry forest and let them find food on their own."
After Zhang An said this, his mother was really moved, so she decided to see if any chicks had hatched in the village. If not, she would go to the market to buy some.
The ducks at home secretly hatched a group of ducklings at some point, and the family didn't notice it. Zhang An wouldn't have known about it if it hadn't been for the long string of ducklings behind him when he came back in the past two days.
Now there are seven big teal ducks and 13 little ducks at home.
The big ducks in the past were very good at laying eggs, so the family was reluctant to kill one of them. When these little ducks grew up, hey, hey, Zhang An's mouth watered when he thought of those scenes.
After more than an hour of Wang Fang's busy work, a table of hot dishes was ready.
Wang Fang, who was saying a few days ago that the food at home was so good and wanted to be frugal, put in the effort tonight.
It’s still the traditional nine big bowls, four meat and four vegetables plus a big pot of soup.
Today's soup is meat slices boiled with mushrooms. Although it is not as fragrant as stewed chicken, it is still very delicious.
When the meal was ready, Zhang An went to the second grandfather's house to invite the second grandfather and his grandmother to come over for dinner.
When the two old men saw that Wang Fang had cooked so many dishes, they said that Wang Fang was too wasteful. They all ate it as a family, so they could just cook whatever they wanted.
Wang Fang smiled and said it was okay. Anyway, he worked hard all year round just to have a good bite.
Zhang An took out his own wine made from Gastrodia elata and poured a glass for Grandpa Second.
He knows how much Mr. Zhang drinks. No matter how delicious it is, he only drinks a small cup every time. This is a terrible sense of self-discipline.
"Second Grandma, you should also drink some. This wine is good for the elderly, mainly because it has a good effect on lowering blood pressure."
Zhang An also poured some for Second Mistress.
The second grandmother often drank medicinal wine herself, so she did not refuse.
The fungus and meat slices soup tonight was highly praised by everyone, especially when I cooked the last batch of pea tips at home, it was a feast for everyone.
"Your peas are not old yet, they are still edible." The second master picked up a chopstick and ate it, then took a sip of wine.
"These are the last batch. They won't grow after pruning. They have already begun to bloom. If you want to eat them, you have to wait until the end of the year."
The two old men also secretly expressed their pity.
After the meal, Zhang An stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for all the elders in the family.
Zhang Jianguo talked to Mr. Zhang about the money again.
But in the end, Mr. Zhang rejected it, and the couple wanted to say something else.
"Xiao Da, you don't have to keep thinking about giving us money. We are old and have nothing to spend money on. It's time for Xiao An to find a wife. There are many places to use money at home, and you have treated us two in these years.
We all know how the old man is doing, he is closer than the few of us who have our own children. They just want to take the coffin book out of our hands, so we don’t want to talk about this matter anymore, and we don’t want to say it out in the future anyway.
Your second master will never admit it."
Xiao Da calls Zhang An's father Zhang Jianguo because he is the younger generation and the eldest son in the family, so he calls him this way.
Second Grandma also tried to persuade her. Grandpa Zhang told his wife about the ginseng he found on the mountain today.
They all felt that Zhang An found this by himself and had nothing to do with them. The eldest brother and his wife had brought them up. Now that they are gone, these children have to be taken care of for them. They cannot be without conscience.
At night, Zhang An was lying on the bed, thinking about what to do with this ginseng.
Now, although the family is not very short of money, he wants to buy the dormitory for educated youths in the village. If he doesn't buy it now, it will be easier for others to buy it later.
You can keep it in your hands, but if you have space, it’s not cost-effective to keep it, so you’d better exchange it for some cash.
Zhang An made up his mind to go to the county tomorrow to see if he could take action.
I didn't feel it when I was running in the mountains, but now I feel a little tired when I lie down.
Not long after, Zhang An fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and I didn't hear the crow of chickens in the village.
Zhang An couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night, but it was definitely not very late.
I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already ten o'clock.
It seems that Zhang An has not slept for such a long time in his life. It seems that he was tired from running yesterday.
In the past, it was always time, and the biological clock would naturally wake up Zhang An.
After Zhang An washed up, he found that his parents were not at home. They might have gone up the mountain.
There wasn't much grass left in the pig pen, so Zhang An went to the space and cut a bunch of grass, put it out, and gave some extra food to the three little black pigs in the pen.
They also sprinkled some spring water on the small trees in the cherry forest.
Although Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo found that the saplings grew too fast at first, they didn't find out why, and they got used to it later.
Now they have grown to half a man's height and are sprouting branches everywhere. There may be no hope of growing into a big tree this year, but they should still be able to bear some fruit.
Zhang An has already seen flower buds growing on these branches. Although the number is smaller, at least they can bloom.
The few old peach trees in the corner look much better now.
Zhang Jianguo planted these many years ago, but without proper management, they grew crookedly, and the peaches they produced were small and unpalatable.
So Zhang An gave it a separate nutrition increase this year, not only changing the soil at the roots and feet, but also watering it with spring water every day. After a month, the effect has improved a lot. It depends on how the fruits will be this year.
If it remains the same as last year, Zhang An will cut it down and graft the peach trees in the space.
Make lunch. The dishes are left over from last night. There is still a lot left, so Zhang An just heats them up.
At this time, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang had not returned yet, and Zhang An planned to go to the county town, so after eating first, he put the dishes on the stove so that they would not get cold when his parents came back to eat.
