farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 227

"Taking advantage of the good weather, let's thresh early today and dry the millet as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if it rains for a few days." After digging in the ground for a lifetime, He Dashuan also followed some rules, relying on his past experience , I roughly figured out when it will rain in the sky.

He Sheng lifted up the bottom of his trousers, and sat down under the shaded bushes.

He Dashuan was extremely hungry, he didn't speak any more, he just concentrated on opening the lid, a scent came out, and seeing egg burritos and two deep-fried sweet potato pancakes spread inside, he immediately whetted his appetite , without saying a word, twist it up and bite it into the mouth.

"The pancakes made by your daughter-in-law are even more delicious." He Dashuan ate two in a row, took a sip of water, and had to praise them.

He Sheng smiled embarrassedly.

The father and son crouched in the shadows, and He Sheng waited until his father had finished eating. After a short rest, the two began to install the threshing tools.

Today's task is only threshing, and I will try to finish it before dark.

When He Sheng and He Dashuan were busy, Zhang Qisheng and Zhang Qiyuan in the family were also full of food and drink. He Zeng asked the brothers to rest for a while and go to the field later.

But Zhang Qisheng said that if he went to the field earlier, he could finish the work earlier.The two of them don't like to rest at home, they have long been used to working.Zhang Qisheng greeted his younger brother, and the two of them went to the place where the kang was going down.

Seeing the two uncles in-laws walking away, He Zeng said to his daughter-in-law with a smile: "You two brothers are too real."

Zhang Xihua said with a smile: "Qisheng is more sensible, he knew how to help the family with work since he was very young. Qiyuan was not in good health when he was young, so he didn't let him work too much, but now he is obedient."

He Zeng said: "Both in-laws and mother-in-law will teach the children. Xihua, you are fine too. Marrying us, A-Sheng, is A-Sheng's blessing, and also our family's blessing."

Suddenly being praised by her mother-in-law, Zhang Xihua was also caught off guard, and felt a little shy in her heart. She turned around and hurriedly put away the dishes.

After the meal, He Yuanyuan helped his sister-in-law clean up the dishes, and He Zeng urged the little girl to sleep in the room, and asked her to wait until the sun shifted in the afternoon and the heat was not so hot before going to help work in the field.After all, she is a girl who is waiting to be married. She is really sunburned like a black monkey, and it is not good to be married.Every day at this time, He Zeng has to restrain his daughter.

He Yuanyuan no longer objected.

Before leaving the house, Mrs. He Zeng ordered Zhang Xihua to say: "Brother Yu, mother, you kill a fat hen that was late at home, and use it to entertain his uncles at noon. The weather is sweltering and the food is left alone." I can't help it, and I don't need to save the meat until tomorrow, the whole chicken is burned today."

After an adult hen lays eggs for dozens of days in a row, it will hatch its chicks according to the rules. Half a month ago, He Zeng selected an old hen that was very good at hatching chicks to hatch eggs. He Zeng has no free time, otherwise she would have to catch these hens and soak their heads in cold water to wake them up early and continue laying eggs .

"Oh, that's right! I don't know if Butcher Zhang's family is killing pigs today? If so, I'd like to cut another catty of meat. The family doesn't have any food for Brother Yu and his uncles. Go and see, pig's trotters." Pork liver, pork belly, whatever you want, just buy some meat dishes.” He Zeng thought about it, and felt that killing a chicken was not enough, and wanted to cut some pork.

Zhang Xihua said: "Mother, when I cut the pig's liver for Xiao Yuer two days ago, I asked about it. Uncle Zhang's family has been rushing to harvest rice these two days, so there is no time to kill pigs. Let's kill a chicken, although it is enough to eat." gone."

After He Zeng heard this, he felt quite regretful, and said, "Forget it. You can see for yourself. Anyway, if you have any ideas about family affairs, you should be the master of the house."

This means to let Zhang Xihua make up her own mind, where to put rice, vegetables, meat, oil, etc., Zhang Xihua has the key, so she can eat whatever she wants.

"Hey! Mother, don't worry."

After He Zeng finished explaining everything that should be explained, he lifted his feet and went to the field.She is an old woman, no matter what kind of tan she is, she puts on a bamboo hat and stares at the scorching sun before going out.

He Yuanyuan and Zhang Xihua were left in the room, and brought a little brother Yu, after washing the dishes, Zhang Xihua asked the sister-in-law to help take Yu to take a nap, she went to the big stove to pack the cooked pig food, mixed it with rice bran and fed pig.

Last year, I only raised two pigs. Because I was still busy, the family raised an extra pig this year. Except for one sow that was kept for breeding, the other two were males. All the pigs were fat and fat, and it was estimated that each pig weighed nearly two hundred catties.By the end of the year, both males will be killed, and a prosperous year will be had.

After feeding the pigs, Zhang Xihua quietly went into sister-in-law's room to take a look. Perhaps she was too tired in the morning, and sister-in-law fell asleep hugging brother Yu.

Zhang Xihua exited the room, left and right could not sleep now, she thought that her two younger brothers were going to stay at home for a few days, and had to tidy up a room for them.

The He family had two spare rooms, except for one that was piled up with some sundries, and the other was reserved for his uncle He Cong.When guests come on weekdays, they also use that room to entertain them.

Zhang Xihua found the key and opened the door, first hung up the mosquito net, spread a bamboo mat on the bed, found two pillows filled with straw, and lit the herbal medicine to smoke the mosquitoes.

In less than two quarters of an hour, it was sorted out.

After doing this, Zhang Xihua let out a breath.After she was pregnant, she still felt sleepy from time to time. Her mother-in-law told her to kill the chicken, and she planned to kill it after she woke up after taking a nap.
