Hard times have room

Chapter 634 Five Little Bamboo Rats

After negotiating, Wang Jiandang went directly to the kitchen, took the pole at home, and went out with two buckets. In addition, he also had a hatchet around his waist, which was used for self-defense. It's normal to go to that place again and do some preparation.

Of course, in addition to self-defense, this hatchet also has another use, that is, it is used to chop things.

Su Hongying stood at the door, looked at Wang Jiandang who was walking away, and waved worriedly, but didn't say anything else.

At this time, Paulin didn't go out to watch the parting scene. After all, in her opinion, this is not really a time for parting, but her dad went to the pool with others to fetch water. In the future, this will be their family. The three people have to go through something every day, and this will become a norm in her family.

At this time, she was busy cleaning up the tableware and chopsticks on the table, put them away, and put them directly in a large water basin in the kitchen.

In the past, she used to pour the water directly, but now the water is very rare. Paulin usually washes the dishes at night, and washes them together, so that it does not cost much water.

Her space is also filled with water. During the last period, when the Daqing River was about to dry up, she went to the Leigong Well to dig it. It was not much, just two plastic buckets, about [-] to [-] kilograms. It was used during emergency, and she didn't move normally.

Of course, water is so precious, and the used waste water cannot be wasted. The pumpkins and gingers in the house are still growing well. These waste waters have contributed greatly.

Thanks to the irrigation of these wastewaters, the pumpkins and gingers in the house are now a good one. The pumpkins have grown very large. They are no longer emerald green, but dark green, mixed with a touch of light. Huang, you can tell at a glance that this pumpkin is already very ripe.

After a while, the yellow on the skin of the pumpkin will become thicker and thicker, until the green on the skin gradually fades away, leaving only pure yellow.

As for the pumpkins at home, what Su Hongying looked at was very tight. All the pumpkins were counted, and a small stone was placed next to it as a marker. If a pumpkin was lost, she would definitely know it, because every day she would Count the pumpkins at home in the yard.

Sowed 35 pumpkin seeds, 32 sprouted, and a total of 23 pumpkin seedlings grew up all over the yard. They didn't show up before, but after the pumpkins bloomed, they grew faster and the yard was covered with pumpkin vines. Even The surrounding bamboo fence is also covered with pumpkin vines, with small pumpkins hanging from it.

That's right, this year's pumpkins are not very big. In previous years, seven or eight catties or even ten catties can account for 1/10. This year, the largest pumpkin in the yard seems to be only five or six catties. Of course, the size is not enough. Minato, in general, the pumpkins in the yard still look impressive.

Maybe it’s because Shanghe Village’s folk customs are really simple, maybe it’s because other people don’t look down on these pumpkins in their family, or because the pumpkins are not yet ripe, anyway, the pumpkins in her family are still well knotted on the vines. No damage.

The older the pumpkin and the thicker the skin, the longer the pumpkin will last.

Generally speaking, old pumpkins are not good, and pumpkins with naturally withered vines are placed under the bed, and they will not deteriorate for half a year. There is no problem at all.

Wang Jiandang went out, and Su Hongying and Bao Lin had nothing to do. One went to the yard to count pumpkins, and the other went to chop bamboo in the small bamboo forest behind. .

These days, their family of three has been wandering around in the bamboo forest, aiming directly at the bamboo rats there. If they can find some more, they will post it.

That's right, Wang Jiandang went to the black market to inquire about the price. Now the price of this bamboo rat in the black market is as high as ten yuan. Of course, it must be an adult bamboo rat, the fat kind, at least three pounds or more.

This price is really tempting. If it weren't for the fact that most of the bamboo rats in the house are not suitable now, the female rats are reluctant to sell them. If there are not many male rats, it is impossible to sell all of them. , only the mother mouse is left, and there is no way to breed the bamboo mouse!

So, no matter how attractive the price is, they have to hold back and wait and wait.

Now there are five more bamboo rats in the house. Of course, this one was born from two female rats in the house. One gave birth to three rats, the other two, three males and two females.

These new-born bamboo rats are the treasures of the family. There is no shortage of water and bamboo every day, and the nest is also cleaned. I am afraid that something will happen. These little bamboo rats are all money!
Now the number of bamboo rats in the house has reached an astonishing ten, five males and five females. Although five of them are still cubs, the rat hair can cover their bodies, but in the eyes of their family of three, these Bamboo rat is a bright money, so he has to be careful.

These days, Paulin basically didn't leave the house very much. One was to take care of the bamboo rats at home, and the other was to guard the pumpkins in the yard. After all, dozens of kilograms of pumpkins, if no one in the house was stolen, It hurts to death.

This pumpkin eye is almost ripe, if it is lost, it will be a big problem.

Here, Paulin had just fed the bamboo rats, turned her head and went to the front yard, and saw her father came back with a bucket, she hurried up to meet her.

At this time, Su Hongying, who was counting the pumpkins in the courtyard, also saw Wang Jiandang, and rushed to meet him in front of Bao Lin.

"How is it? Is there a lot of stuff there?" Su Hongying asked impatiently after Wang Jiandang went into the kitchen and poured the water into the tank.

"It's alright, people go to that place all the time. The place is fairly clean. There are a lot of leaves in the pool, but after fishing it again, it's clean."

"When we went to that place, we didn't see anything drinking water there. Most of the time we spent on the way was spent on the branches and thorns on the road." Wang Jiandang put down his burden, panting a little. back.

He only had half a bucket of water in his bucket, which would definitely not add up to fifty kilograms, which was naturally a piece of cake for him.

From now on, we will have to go up the mountains to fetch water. This road has to be repaired, and these advance teams will have to do it.

"That's good, that's good. I'll go with you tomorrow. If two people choose the water tank at home, they should be able to fill it up."

"No, we'll have to wait a few days. It'll be fine when we get to know the road well. If we're familiar with the road, we don't have to go like us. Even groups of three or five can go." Wang Jiandang expressed his concern for this Still holding on, but now is not the time to relax.

It's definitely not that he is too cautious, it's just that the day is too dry, forcing the villagers into the mountains, where the space for animals in the mountains is compressed, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
