The west room has finished eating, but the east room has not yet finished eating.
Cheng Xue took Ms. Liu and Yu Wan to see the house where vegetables are grown in winter. Although she just looked at it, she only glanced at it briefly and didn't see many details, and she still had a lot to say.
For example, dig up wild vegetable roots; or dig a big vegetable cellar, so that you can use it to eat vegetables at home in winter; or...
Listening to her nephew's wife's introduction, Ms. Liu knew that she was teaching herself, so as not to act blindly, waste time and energy.
"Okay, I'll do as you say when I get back. There are plenty of Kulongya and Big-Eared Hair Mountains, so you can dig them out as you like. The soil is also thick enough, which is enough. But Snow Lady, my place is not as big as yours.
After all, my financial resources are limited, so I want to wait two years to see how things go."
Cheng Xue understood her conservatism, nodded and said:
"My aunt's worries are reasonable, but as long as you are a farmer, you can grow vegetables in winter at a glance, so aunt should pay attention to the timing."
"Don't worry, we know it well. After two years of doing it, we will feel confident if we expand. Although there are many old farmers in Liangyan farming, not many dare to do this. I can only say that you two have the courage to study. If it were us,
Never dare to try it."
If the nephew's family hadn't helped find a market, his family would definitely not have done it. Now there is no arrangement, and they have spent 20 taels of silver. I estimate that the nephew's family has at least 80 taels.
The brother-in-law's family is rich. When my aunt married here, the Yu family took advantage of it. Now that my sister and brother-in-law have passed away, they continue to take advantage of their nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law.
Now I just hope that my second son can make contributions in southern Xinjiang, so that my nephew's family can benefit from them, otherwise it will be really embarrassing.
I walked around here twice and looked at the reserved rooms before going back.
When he entered the house, Yu Huai had already laid down to rest. Yu Zhao was also drunk, but he was better than his own father and would not fall asleep.
Mrs. Liu fetched water and took care of her as usual, without saying a word of complaint. Yu Hao and Yu Wan helped their sister-in-law pick up the table, while Li Hui went to sit in the yard and take a look at the two cubs.
The north and south windows were all opened, and as soon as the draft passed, the smell of alcohol became much less intense.
There is strength in numbers. After cleaning up the house, Mrs. Wang set up a table under the tarpaulin in the yard, brought the brewed tea, and everyone drank and blew in the air.
Ms. Liu looked up at the tarpaulin, nodded with a smile and said:
"This is a good idea! Instead of letting Tarpaulin sleep in the warehouse, it's better to let it make full use of it. It's just right to have a meal in the yard when it's hot."
"It's all my sister-in-law's idea. Mom will do all this when she goes back." Yu Zhao's eyes widened and he grinned innocently.
Ms. Liu said "hmm" as a response. Looking at her boss's satisfied expression, she felt very comfortable.
What can a mother care about, as long as her children are safe and her life is prosperous?
Yu Huai's family of four stayed in Wanghe Village for three days. Not only did they help Yu Zhao's family clean up their chores, but they also helped Li Hui repair window frames and other things.
As soon as they left, news of the war in southern Xinjiang spread.
People were panicked for a while, and food prices soared. The old farmers were okay, setting aside a year's worth of grain for chewing in advance, so they were not afraid of going hungry. But the residents in towns, counties, and prefectures were miserable.
After all, no one would stock up on so much food.
Occasionally, Li Hui and Cheng Xue chatted and mentioned the shops for sale in the county. They both thought they had picked it up. It cost 400 taels when they bought it and 600 taels when they sold it. They sold it early, otherwise they would have to put it aside.<
/p>
With this effort, the price of wasteland in the village is much cheaper.
It used to cost three taels of silver per acre, but now it only costs two taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang was a ruthless person. She took out most of the money she received from the division of the family and purchased ten acres of land at the foot of the mountain with a ditch at the end.
Take advantage of the opportunity to dig it out now and plant radishes and cabbage in the summer, just in time.
Yu Zhao is also a conscientious person. He gets up early every day and takes his wife to the fields. He first plows the grass and puts it on the ground to fertilize, then manually plows the ground, the deeper the better, and finally drives Li Hui's family's oxcart to the fields.
Plow the ground.
The furrows are plowed very deep, so that after two years of planting, the soil will become mature, and you can plant anything in the future.
The couple was too busy to take care of the child, so Cheng Xue simply took her home and ate, drank, played and slept with Li Huai.
After all the wasteland was cleared, the couple was two degrees darker, but they were still in good spirits, especially Yu Zhao.
My wife, children, and the hot kang no longer have to stay at my cousin’s house for help, which makes me feel very comfortable.
On this day, Mrs. Wang came home to pick up her child. Yu Yingjie refused to leave and hugged Li Huaihua, shaking his head.
Cheng Xue couldn't help laughing, looking at the helpless Wang family, and said:
"Let him play for a while. You are done with your work and have a good rest. The house is not in a good shape."
Wang took a sip of warm water, shook her head and said:
"I packed everything before I came here, and even took a shower before I came here. This brat knows who's at home. He's such a heartless kid."
"Yes, I have a heart."
Before Yingjie opened his mouth, Li Huai pointed at his cousin's chest to remind him.
The little guy speaks up earlier than Li Tian, and he can express what he is thinking without saying a word of nonsense, even if he doesn't accept it.
Mrs. Wang looked at Li Huai, smiled and shook her head and said:
"Sister-in-law, this guy Sidan is too smart. It's too early to make such a mistake."
"It's not too late." Cheng Xue nodded, "I guess it's because I have a lot of children, Tiedan, Tiantian and they always say that Tangtang also teaches him all the time, so it's different."
When he heard his mother praising his cousin, Yu Yingjie stepped forward not to be outdone——
"The winning spirit is the winning spirit."
"Return to 'Sheng Ling', your nickname is 'Sheng Sheng', it should be 'Sheng Sheng Ling'." Wang corrected.
However, Yingjie's abilities are limited, and he is either a "victory spirit" or a "profit spirit". Anyway, he cannot say "victory spirit".
This nickname was specially given to the child by the Wang family after Yu Xuan joined the army. The meaning is "victory, no war", and it can also calm the hearts of his parents-in-law.
Yu Yingjie, who didn't want to go home just now, ran directly into his mother's arms, shouting "home".
Cheng Xue picked up Li Huai with a smile and said:
"Go back quickly. I'll send you two out so that you don't regret it later. I just happened to go to the school to see my two girls. I've been gone for a long time."
Mrs. Wang did not dare to delay, picked up the child, and laughed at herself:
"It's the first time I bring a child home and I have to play tricks. The child is nothing. He's just a villain."
While talking, she also touched her head with her child. She is a kind mother and a filial son, and she is very loving.
Cheng Xue stood at the door of the courtyard and watched the mother and son leave. After hanging the door, she led Li Huai toward the school.
Since the end of the spring plowing, Li Yue has been carrying the piano to the backyard of the school to learn skills from Lian every day. In the past few days, Li Tian has also become interested and goes with her sister every day. However, instead of learning the piano, she just paints.
Don't think that children can't read, but they can definitely do math and draw. Sometimes the things they draw are better than Li Yue's.
Li Huai followed obediently for a moment, then let go and ran ahead. His legs jumped very fast. If he didn't warn him, he might have disappeared before he could...
