Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 83 Take turns vigil
Yuan Bao's house has too few straws, and Baishou and Wanwan are useless, so let them keep them as firewood.

Later, when Lan Huaniang heard that Baishou was buying straws, she ran up smiling and said how much their family had.There are a lot of land in Geshan, so there are naturally a lot of straw.

It's good for someone to sell it, but you can't treat them like a fool, just come here thinking of making money.

Wanwan smiled and said to Lan Huaniang: "I have a lot of straw stored at home, if there are still some, there is no defense in asking for more, but the price is a bit low, I wonder if you want to sell it?"

In the end, the wheat stalks in the two-acre field were given ten Wen.

When Lan Huaniang returned home, she was scolded by her man at night.

"Why do you imitate those people who have no knowledge? You also collect money for this worthless thing?"

"Aren't I also thinking about my family?" Lan Huaniang was a little aggrieved, she is not like Wan Wan who can make sauce meat and earn money, why can't she sell straws if someone offers money to buy straws?

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, mother-in-law!"

Ge Shan turned around and left the room, leaving Lan Huaniang sitting in the room alone and sulking!

The wheat harvest in the field was over, Yang Yitian found Baishou, and the two pieces of land for them had almost been vacated, so Baishou and Wanwan went to the field to have a look, Jun Qiniang and Yang Wan were picking up the fallen ears of wheat in the field, There were also piles of straw.The two fields are next to each other, square and square, so it is easy to grow things in the future.

Their two pieces of land are about two acres. Laisheng's family has more than three acres of land, and the total wheat harvest this year is only more than 600 catties, while Ge Shan's family also has three acres of land, and their family's harvest is almost one thousand catties.

Ge Shan is indeed better at planting crops than others. It seems that he will have to find someone to learn from him in the next transplanting.

The next day, Junqi's family pulled out all the vines in the field, and took away all the straw in the two fields.

The wheat harvest is over, and the next thing is to hoe the ground and transplant rice seedlings.

Now they have fields and houses, so they finally have a bit of their own property.Wan Wan thought about it.

In the evening, she cooked porridge and hadn't made pancakes for a long time. She specially fried pancakes with two flavors, and then cut off a small piece of bacon that was left over, and fried it.

After Baishou had fed all the chickens and pigs, the meals were almost ready.Wanwan scooped the vegetables into a bowl and prepared to boil some hot water.

Baishou took a basin and poured cold water directly: "Just wash in cold water, it's not cold anymore anyway." Then he took a handkerchief and washed his face.

Wan Wan thought about it, so he brought the food to the main room, and scooped up two more bowls of porridge.After the hundred poems were washed, the couple sat down at the table and began to eat.

Before planting rice seedlings, there are still many things to do, plowing, irrigation, and seedling cultivation.But their family didn't have any cattle to plow the land, so they could only rely on two people to pick up hoes one by one.Baishou was afraid that he would be tired, and there were pigs in the family who had to cut the pigs' food every day, so he said: "Daughter-in-law, you just stay at home and take care of the house, prepare the pigs' food and feed the chickens every day, and go to the market someday Buy a few chickens and come back. I live in the field."

Wanwan rolled his eyes at him, asking her to buy chickens to raise at this time, obviously she didn't want her to work in the fields.He didn't want her to be tired, but she didn't want him to be exhausted even more.

"I know how to cut pig food. You can't do it alone in the field. I don't know how to thresh wheat, but I can still hoe the ground. It's not tiring..." Without giving him a chance to refute, he continued: " I know that you are afraid that I will be tired, but how can I let you work alone on the two big plots of land? I've exhausted you, so what should I do?" After speaking, she pouted and stared at the bowl, with deep worry in her words, her appearance was resentful and cute.

Baishou seemed to have something in his heart that was about to melt, and immediately moved to the side of Wanwan, regardless of the fact that he was eating, and gently patted Wanwan's shoulder with his left hand.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, I'm afraid I'll tire you out..."

"Then you want to tire yourself out? What will you do after you break me? You always won't let me do this or that. You're not an iron man. Now that our life has finally gotten better, you won't Let me worry..." Then he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.

Baishou blamed himself, he only wanted to keep his wife from being tired, but he didn't consider her feelings, she was also worried about him.Of course he is not an iron man, but he feels that he is in good health, and it will not matter if he works more.

Of course, there are also those who are tired and sick, knowing how happy my daughter-in-law cares about him so much.But if the daughter-in-law is really not allowed to work, will she worry that she is overthinking?

Forget it, Baishou finally agreed to go to the field to work with Wanwan. Of course, he would take over the heavy and tiring work himself.

Seeing Baishou's promise, Wanwan immediately raised his face and smiled, took a piece of bacon with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl: "Eat more, there is still a lot of work waiting for you!"

"Daughter-in-law, you can eat too." Baishou also put a piece of bacon in the bowl.

Wan Wan put the meat back into his bowl, picked a thin piece from the vegetable bowl, put the small ones into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I like to eat thin ones."

Hearing this, Baishou secretly kept this in his heart, he seldom eats good food at home, and he is not picky about vegetables, he really doesn't know what his daughter-in-law likes to eat!In the future, if you cut meat, you can cut more lean meat and return it. Only a daughter-in-law who likes it will eat more, and eat more to be healthy, so as to give birth to a healthy baby.

The more he thought about it, the happier Baishou felt. After finishing the cake in his hand, he picked up the bowl and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and then ate two more cakes. For some reason, he had a surprisingly good appetite today. He drank three bowls of porridge , The cake is also surprisingly fragrant, I ate four pieces.

Looking at Wan Wan next to her, she took a sip from the bowl, feeling that the soup only wet her lips, so Wan Wan put down the porridge bowl, then bit off a small piece of pancake, and ate it slowly, Si gentle.I can only see her little mouth moving, it's really pretty.

Sometimes he went to the market, and when he was in the restaurant, he also saw other women eating, talking while eating, not only their teeth, but also the things in their mouths. His daughter-in-law eats so well.

Is this what those literati said about eating without showing your teeth?

**
The two came back from cutting pig food three times in the whole morning of the next day, and prepared the pig food for these three days.After eating the afternoon, the two couples went to the field with their hoes in the afternoon.

Generally, it takes a few days after harvesting the wheat to start hoeing, irrigated fields, etc. Someone saw the couple coming to hoe so early, and asked, "Why did you start hoeing so early?"

"Anyway, it's okay, let's hoe first." Wan Wan said.

One mu of land, with a hoe bit by bit, not only has to loosen the ground, but if there are clods of soil, the clods of soil have to be broken up with a hoe, so that the field can be irrigated later.This is really a long project.

At first the speed was faster, but then she hoeed slower and slower, and occasionally she would sit by the side to rest when she was tired.The speed of Baisong has always been so fast, and she has to sigh that people who have worked since childhood are really different.

In the afternoon, the two men only hoeed a small piece.After three days in a row, half of a field was finally hoeed.At this time, the number of people in the field gradually increased.Everyone is using the method of hoeing, it is better to be modern, and it is more convenient to directly have the machine for tilling the fields.

If you hoe well, you have to irrigate the field.Their village is at the foot of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there is a river flowing down from the same mountain. The river passes through countless forks and flows into a one-meter-wide ditch leading to the village.Then dig a gap in the field where the water flows, and the water will flow into the field, and then dig another gap in the field between the fields, and the water will flow into one field after another, thus irrigating the fields of the entire village.

The more water the better, the village head also arranged people to take turns to watch the night, not only to pay attention to the amount of water to irrigate the fields, but also to plug up the fields that were enough.Those that have not been irrigated have to find a way to let the water flow through.

The night watchmen are all young people. There are two people a night, one for the first half of the night and one for the second half of the night.Baishou and Wanwan were farming for the first time, so he signed up actively.

He spent the night with Ge Shan, and he kept watch until midnight, but after dinner he rested at home for a while, and Baishou went down the mountain to the fields.

Ge Shan was a little surprised to see him come.

"Why are you here so early?"

"It's fine at home."

Ge Shan was sitting on the side of the road, smoking Hanyan. He rarely smoked Hanyan. He only smoked it when he was bored, to refresh himself.Baishou took a look at the rushing water flowing towards the field, and sat down too.

"You can sleep for a while, and keep watch until midnight, but it won't be until dawn."

"I can't sleep at home, so I just come down and have a look."

The two did not speak again.

After a while, Ge Shan suddenly said: "If you don't have enough straw, come and get it, I still have some at home."

Baishou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and said: "Thank you, no need, it's almost done."

Ge Shan nodded, and said again: "Just tell me if it's not enough, don't take money for this worthless thing in the future, everyone is in the same village."

Baishou was startled, but he didn't expect Ge Shan to be so forthright, so he said, "Thank you very much. The straw is almost enough."

In addition to Daddy Yuanbao, the village has the best relationship with Daddy Shitou. Recently, Wang Baoshan has gotten closer to Baishou. Wang Qingshan has become acquainted with him because of Zhulou. He is not very familiar with other people, just like Ge Shan. , That time I came to his house to learn how to make a hanger, and when I met him in the village, I occasionally nodded and said hello.

With the mess just now, the relationship between the two became acquainted, and then Baishou asked about some things about Geshan's crops, how can a man care about like a woman, he told Baishou some of his own experience very straightforwardly, saying this As they talked, the two chatted for most of the night.

After Ge Shan left, Baishou sat until dawn, and then Yang Yizhi came to check on the field, and he returned home.

Wanwan cooked the rice, fed the pigs, and fed the chickens, but he didn't come back. He stood on the side of the slope and waited for a long time before seeing him walking home wearing an old clothes she took last night.

After returning home and having breakfast, Wanwan saw that his eye circles were a bit dark, but he was very energetic, but he was told to go to bed to rest after eating, Baishou nodded, and at the same time told her about the crops that he asked Ge Shan last night .

Unexpectedly, the last time I asked Lan Huaniang by the river, Ge Shan told Baishou that men and women were just different.Women always love to haggle over everything!Look, let them go get straws for free.

It only took a few days, and the fields in the village were filled with water, blocking the river, and soaking the fields for a day or two. After knowing that they had to turn over the paddy fields again, Wanwan had a headache. Later, he saw Li Zhutou rushing to his house The ox pulls the plow in the paddy field.Several families even asked him to take the cattle to plow their fields.

After asking, I found out that Li Zhutou's family would use their own cattle to help the villagers plow the land every time they were busy with farming. Of course, everyone had to pay some wages.

Wanwan doesn't care about the wages, it's better to have an ox plow than a human plow!Go home and tell Baishou the news excitedly.

But Baishou said: "I know, I was thinking about going to find him for a while!"

It turned out that Baishou had already made arrangements, causing her to worry for nothing!
So, I gave the money, and waited for Li Zhutou to drive the cattle to help his family plow the paddy field, and then he was going to prepare for the cultivation of rice seedlings!
