farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 57

The Li family raised a total of two cows. He Sheng and the others borrowed the one that is often used for hauling goods. After the cows are tied into the fence when they get home, other people’s cows must be carefully served. He Sheng will go to Yushui immediately. A crate of green grass was cut by the river, and he poured it in and fed it to the cows.

He Dashuan returned home and put down his shoulder pole, and immediately came to the fence, looked at the oxford chewing the grass, and said with emotion: "The cattle raised by my in-laws are really energetic. When our old scalper was still alive, he looked like a cow. In this way, I eat a lot of grass every day."

There is a sense of melancholy in the words.

He Dashuan was afraid that there would not be enough cattle to eat, so he planned to cut another basket of grass and come back.At this moment, only the vegetation along the Yushui River grows more vigorously. Seeing his vigor, He Zeng hurriedly said: "Don't waste time if you come back earlier, the eldest daughter-in-law will cook the meal soon."

He Dashuan still went to hunt a basket of green grass and came back, and caught another fish for him on the way. This fish was a grass carp weighing more than half a catty, and it was caught easily because of the shallow water.

In addition to grass carp, there are also some small fish and shrimps caught in bamboo baskets.Zhang Xihua raised the grass carp in the water basin, and planned to cook it tomorrow, and cleaned up all the small fish and shrimps, leaving a bowl enough for cooking soup, took a dustpan, spread the other small fish and shrimps evenly, and put them on the stove It is dried on the table with residual temperature, and it will be dried in the sun in the daytime tomorrow, and then it can be steamed with some dried chilies and the like.

When it's meal time, the family sits quietly and eats.He Dashuan suddenly said: "If the drought continues like this, the rice in those fields in Xiakeng will be harvested first."

If God rewards some rain, it is estimated that all the crops will be harvested in half a month. At this time, the rice is harvested. When the rice grains are dry and dry, they can only be ground to eat the chaff.

The field under the kang was far away from the water source, and after carrying water again and again, it was finally finished, and it dried up within two days. There is this plan.

He Zengshi hesitated: "Would you like to wait any longer?"

He Sheng didn't want to give up just like that, so he said: "Father, wait a little longer, after I have sold these charcoal fires in the past two days, I will concentrate on taking care of the kang's land when I have free hands."

He Dashuan sighed heavily, chewed his food without saying a word.

The air pressure in the house suddenly dropped, even He Yuanyuan didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Xihua sat beside He Sheng with his head down and silently ate his meal.

In fact, the loss of the He family is relatively small compared to the whole village, because most of the fields of the He family are contiguous. Among them, there is not much water in the lower pit.So the biggest loss will only be the three acres of rice in the pit.

Even the corn on the mountain was rescued with the help of the Jiang family brothers.

Crops are the lifeblood of the common people, how can one think about a bad harvest?My father-in-law has been very angry recently because of this, and there are a lot of bubbles in his mouth. He even drank herbal tea for a few days before the anger subsides.

The family lost their bowls and chopsticks, Zhang Xihua was ready to go to bed early after washing.Tomorrow, her husband will get up early and go out, so she has to take some food with him.

He Sheng also lay down after washing, recovering his energy to face the next day.

This time, Zhang Xihua got up earlier than her husband, and made corn buns for him to take with her. She cut some pieces of meat that had been marinated and dried in the sun a few days ago, and put them in one piece.

Before He Sheng left the house, Zhang Xihua asked: "Second Uncle likes to eat cured meat, you can give him some."

He Sheng nodded, just as Second Uncle He also entered He's house, together with He Dashuan, after filling the ox cart, He Sheng and Second Uncle He set off for Daliang Town.

Before they decided to sell charcoal, Second Uncle He went to Daliang Town to find out about the price first, and when they officially went there, they would not be easily deceived.

Merchants are all traitors, even if the He family's charcoal has always been received by regular merchants, I have to have a bottom line in my heart.These small farmers and small households have their own shrewdness.

He Sheng and the others went to town, at least not coming back until evening.He Zeng chatted with Zhang Xihua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, hoping to get a good price.

While waiting, the He family all performed their duties.

In the afternoon, when the sun was relatively mild, Zhang Xihua and his sister-in-law He Yuanyuan picked up baskets to harvest dates. Several jujube trees were planted in the vegetable field of He's family, and each one bore fruit. People rarely looked at them, so they gave them to the village People secretly picked it up.

Especially those children, who stare eagerly under the tree every day. It’s okay for them to secretly pick dates and eat them, but they trampled to death a piece of vegetables in the He family’s field, which made He Zeng very angry. Daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly take it off and forget it.

When Zhang Xihua and He Yuanyuan arrived, they happened to meet a group of four or five boy dolls stealing dates. They were probably about eight or nine years old.

He Yuanyuan chased and scolded: "Don't run away if you have the guts to steal, Luo Xiaogou, Erwazi...You guys, I will come to your house to ask for justice later."
