The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 52

"Aunt Xiaolian, your female rabbit may be pregnant. It would be better for you to keep it in a separate cage from the male rabbit in a few days." Lin Xiaoping went to the rabbit shed to observe it, and Fang Yumin specially divided it into softly furnished rabbits. The kind of rabbit queen in the wide open cage smiled and said to Fang Yumin.

"Really? How do you know? How did you see it?" Fang Yumin was very pleasantly surprised, and hurried to the rabbit cage to look at the female rabbit that didn't seem to have changed much except for being fat, and asked Lin Xiaoping for advice.

Lin Xiaoping was invited by Fang Yumin to help butcher the rabbit. Fang Yumin has never cut a rabbit at such a big age.These bunnies look cute, if not all snow white.Her ears shrugged, her lips moved, and she looked at you with those ruby ​​​​eyes, how could she do it?
"Hee hee, actually I just guessed and guessed, Aunt Xiaolian, do you think the belly of this female rabbit is round?" Xiaoping scratched his head and smiled innocently, then pointed to one of the rabbits and explained: "This It is very likely that it is already pregnant. In fact, I have put these breeding rabbits in the same cage for several days before bringing them to you. My father said that rabbits have a particularly strong reproductive ability, and they can basically be fertile in warm weather. There is one litter in January. It is their breeding season from February to September. It has been many days, so I said this. Aunt Xiaolian, wait a few days if you find that the female rabbit’s belly is getting bigger and bigger. Shen, I guess they are pregnant, and you can keep them separately when the time comes."

"One litter a month?" Fang Yumin exclaimed, and suddenly remembered that when a female friend QQed with her, she once sent, "Mating preparation time for male rabbits: it only takes two seconds to be ready." ’, at that time they still compared them with men very YD, not only marveling at the sexual ability of rabbits, but also laughing at some cheap men for relying on Weide Steel.

However, if you raise rabbits at home now, the stronger the reproductive ability, the better, which means that the babies will be born in an endless stream.Wow!Developed, developed!Fang Yumin smiled brightly, praising the mother rabbit for her great contribution!In the past, some people always used the metaphor of giving birth to many children and calling others a sow. Don't you know that the female rabbit is the most powerful!

"Well, yes. Aunt Xiaolian, how many rabbits do you want to kill?" Lin Xiaoping asked. Today he brought seven more rabbits, two of which are female rabbits, and put them all in the place designated by Fang Yumin. There is an emotional cage too.There are also three pheasants, but the pheasants were shot and injured, so they cannot be kept in cages.

"Well, if there are more children in the family, kill a few more to eat." Fang Yumin was thinking, while staring at the lively little things in the cage, and said reluctantly: "Xiaoping, please help me kill 8 more, and I will have more in a while." Send some to Uncle Damin and the others to taste. In addition to the three pairs of breeding rabbits, 8 more rabbits were slaughtered, alas, only 4 are left."

"Hehe, don't worry, Aunt Xiaolian, a baby bunny will come out of your house in a month's time."

"Okay, I'll take your word for it. Xiaoping, you can stay at my house for dinner today."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Xiaolian. You can go to work, just leave it to me here."

"That would be the best." Fang Yumin also couldn't bear to see the cruel scene, but stared at the five children who came to watch the fun.

Fang Yumin looked at the five children with fury, and Xiao Ming said fearlessly, "Mother, your eyes are so scary."

"Really?" Fang Yumin quickly straightened her eyes, and asked with a loving smile: "Brother Xiaoping is going to kill a rabbit, which of you five wants to learn?"

"Learn to butcher rabbits?" The five children looked at the rabbits in the cage who were happily grazing grass without knowing that they were about to die.

"Yes, if we want to eat braised rabbit meat in the future, we can't always bother Brother Xiaoping, right? Your mother is a girl, not suitable for such a cruel job, but you are boys. After you learn it, you want to eat braised rabbit meat." Rabbit meat is much more convenient."

"Mom, I don't want to learn." Xiao Ming hurriedly waved his hands and said, he has been feeding these rabbits for many days, and he is reluctant to part with them.

When Xiao Bao heard Xiao Ming say this, he hurriedly expressed his attitude in a low voice: "Auntie, I don't want to learn either."

"Oh. What about the three of you?"

Wang Xiaoyang stood up and said, "Let me come. In fact, Xiaozhu and I dug traps on the mountain before, caught rabbits and roasted them to eat. It's just that we messed around."

"Yes, Auntie, let me learn with Xiaoyang." Wang Xiaozhu also nodded at the side.

"Okay! From now on, I will hand over the work to Xiaoyang and Xiaozhu." Fang Yumin patted Xiaoyang and Xiaozhu's heads approvingly, and then said to Xiaoming, Dabao and Xiaobao, "Come on, let's go to the front yard to pick beans." .”

"Okay."

Fang Yumin brought three children out of the ear room to carry out two baskets of soybeans. The full and round part will be used as seeds, and the rest will be used to make soy sauce in the next step; the rest, which has been broken, will be used as organic fertilizer. Fang Yumin prepared to grind soybean milk for the children for breakfast.This soybean is the meat in vegetarian dishes. It has high protein content. There is a shortage of meat at home, and the children are growing. It is best to eat this.

Bean dregs can’t be wasted either. In addition to being marinated as a seasoning, it can also be fried into soybean cakes, or used as rations for livestock.As for making tofu, forget it, there is no other labor force in the family, and the tofu at Uncle Xiangzi's is cheap and well made, Fang Yumin thinks it is more appropriate to buy from his house.

After picking for a while, Fang Yumin squinted her eyes and looked out, Lin Qiulai was busy working in the fields at noon.I can't help but feel a little heartbroken, it's really hard to be a farmer.

"Xiao Ming, you and Dabao and Xiaobao are picking beans here. I'll go and deliver mung bean soup to your dad. Alas, the sun is too strong, I'm afraid your dad will suffer from heat stroke."

"Okay, mother, you have to remember to wear a straw hat."

"Auntie, don't worry, we will be able to pick out this basket soon."

"good."

Fang Yumin went into the ear room to pick up the pot soaked in the water basin, put on a straw hat and walked to her corn field.

The 35 mu of dry land at home has been cleared. Fang Yumin and Lin Qiulai decided to use 15 mu of it to grow soybeans after discussion.First, soybeans are fertilizing the field, and second, Fang Yumin is going to make soy sauce, and soybeans are the raw material.Of the remaining 20 acres of dry land, 15 acres were planted with sweet potatoes, and the remaining 5 acres were planted with peanuts, potatoes and mung beans.

Soybeans can fertilize the fields, so there is no need to fertilize the 15 mu dry land of that kind of soybeans, but it is necessary to build borders and ridges, which is convenient for irrigation and harvesting in the future.But the other 20 mu of land should be thinly applied with organic fertilizer.Although they are all rough and drought-tolerant crops, if the planting conditions and growth environment are better, the harvest will also be good.

Seeing villagers on the road, everyone greeted Fang Yumin with a smile.Since the announcement of the method of making sweet potato flour, the villagers Fang Yumin and his family have been very kind.Thanks to the sweet potato flour, Lin Qiulai said that he wanted to raise pigs. Some villagers said that a sow in a relative’s house in a neighboring village had just given birth to a litter of piglets, and they personally went to help Lin Qiulai use less than the market price. I bought back four pink and tender little pigs, and now they are screaming happily in the pigsty.

But even with four more piglets, the family is young and there is a shortage of fertilizers.Fang Yumin used to be very troubled by this. If you don't fertilize those barren fields, it will get twice the result with half the effort.Fang Yumin didn't want to do such a stupid thing.

To be honest, because Fang Yumin advocates the principle that nothing should be wasted, there is really no organic waste in the house.The vegetables in the vegetable garden were harvested by Fang Yumin as soon as they were ripe, and all the uneaten vegetables were dried or made into kimchi; the yellowish leaves of the vegetables went into the stomachs of chickens, rabbits, and cows The older vegetable leaves are all pickled with salt to make pickles.

Even the slag from making sweet potato flour was cooked by Fang Yumin, made into pancakes, dried and stored as pig food.There are a lot of people in the family, and there is a lack of everything. Every meal will be eaten up, and I can’t wait to lick it clean. How can there be leftovers?The term kitchen waste only exists in modern times, but it does not exist in Fang Yumin's house anyway.

So when it comes to fertilizer, the family only has a little plant ash and rice fields. 20 mu of land, if it depends on this, it is not a thin application of fertilizer?In order to have a good harvest in autumn, Fang Yumin had no choice but to mobilize the children to go to the village or the roadside to see if there was any excrement from cows and mules to pick up.It's a pity that cows are too expensive and mules are few. The villagers are also thrifty. If they really drop manure, they will pick it up and take it home.

There was no other way, Fang Yumin had no choice but to ask Lin Qiulai to temporarily dig a shallow pit behind the latrine, mow the children again, then chop them up and put them into the pit, and then pour some plant ashes, chickens, and rabbits The excrement was mixed with water, then covered with hay and fertilized.

Now I have to cover my nose every time I go to the toilet. It's not the smell of the toilet, but the rotten smell coming out of the compost pond behind the toilet is really bad!Fortunately, Lin Qiu was in charge of fertilizing, and Fang Yumin would never do it if someone else did it.

The 15 mu of dry land where soybeans were grown without fertilization was plowed and furrows were dug.On weekdays, after having dinner with Fang Yumin, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin took their five children to the field to sow seeds.

Everyone divided the labor and cooperated, Lin Qiulai continued to dig the furrows, Fang Yumin competed with the children who could plant the furrows faster and better?It can be regarded as putting entertainment on work, anyway, adults and children are very busy, sometimes singing along to Fang Yumin, sometimes counting, Kaka's laughter can be heard far away.

If a villager passed by carrying a hoe and saw that their family was busy, they would stop to help.Everyone talked and laughed happily.

That's all, Fang Yumin smiled at all these changes.She doesn't ask everyone to be too grateful, and Fang Yumin doesn't think she has done such a great thing. Selfishness can be forgiven. In such a difficult social environment, everyone wants to live a little more comfortably.

Fang Yumin only wants to have a peaceful and quiet environment, without so much gossip. She slowly builds her own business with peace of mind and leads her family towards a well-off life.

It is already very good now. Everyone spends their free time making sweet potato flour. There is almost no gossip in the village, and no one is idle talking about right and wrong in the village.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Cuihua not to appear.Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin bought 35 acres of dry land and hired people to plow the land; they adopted four children without telling her; It was announced in Lin's Village... This is why Comrade Zhang Cuihua passed out without getting angry.

Fang Yumin couldn't help laughing when thinking of her tough and rogue mother-in-law.Sometimes she is also very strange, why does Zhang Cuihua trouble her so persistently?Why do you always like to come to bully Lin Qiulai and Fang Xiaolian so much?

And her behavior of rolling Sarai on the ground as soon as she said that she couldn't stand others would make Fang Yumin hateful at the time, but after thinking about it afterwards, she found it very funny.

That day, Zhang Cuihuaxiong came to the door stubbornly, dragging Lin Qiulai to roll around, cursing and begging for an explanation.Fang Yumin and the five children squatted on the ground to watch her roll. Xiao Ming and Xiao Bao counted each other.

Lin Qiulai was so ashamed that his neck turned red.Fang Yumin smiled and folded her hands to watch the fun, she didn't need to do anything at all.

As before, when Zhang Cuihua came to the door, many villagers surrounded the yard again.It's just that this time the villagers didn't watch the fun, but came to persuade the fight.

Whether Lin Qiulai's house was buying land or adopting a child, Lizheng had a hand in everything, so they couldn't comment too much.But Fang Yumin's disclosure of the method of making sweet potato flour is related to the interests of all villagers in Linjia Village.

Qiulai's daughter-in-law not only generously told everyone how to make it, but also paved the way for them to sell sweet potato flour.Such a good thing, is there still a reason to shake your head and say not to push it back?Taxes will be paid soon, and I'm short on money.So the villagers no longer stood idly by, and even the old fox Lin Zhuxin put on an official face to persuade Zhang Cuihua who was lying on the ground to go home.

Li was on the move, and all the villagers' hearts turned to Fang Yumin. Zhang Cuihua was completely defeated this time.Now Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin are not something she can bully at will, Zhang Cuihua can't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.The days seem to be getting longer and longer.

"Autumn is coming, come and have a rest." Fang Yumin raised her hand and called out to Lin Qiulai, who was facing the loess and back to the sky.

She didn't care about right and wrong in the village.The villagers were jealous, but she didn't take it seriously; now that the villagers are grateful, she didn't take it seriously.Fang Yumin's goal is to work hard and do the work well, and go to the county to buy shops, houses and build factories after earning money.

"Here we come." Lin Qiu came to wipe off his sweat, and couldn't help grinning happily when he saw Fang Yumin.

Now the goals are clear, and the family works with muffled voices and strength.When the villagers were busy making sweet potato flour at home, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin led five children to work together.

Every morning, Lin Qiu came and went to irrigate and dig the dry land, Fang Yumin went to weed and inspect the corn field, and fished duckweed to feed the fish. The chickens feed the rabbits, and Xiao Yang waters the vegetable garden, cooks pig food and weaves baskets.

After lunch, Lin Qiulai carried mung bean soup on his back and continued digging in the field, while Fang Yumin brought five children to make sweet potato flour and potato flour at home.

Those filtered sweet potato dregs, potato dregs Fang Yumin will add chopped old sweet potato stalks and some badly grown sweet potatoes to cook together, then make cakes and dry them, these can be stored in winter For pig food.

"Look at you, the sun is so hot, why don't you take a break. Drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat. I put a lot of sugar in this jar." Fang Yumin filled a bowl and handed it to Lin Qiulai.

"Sugar is expensive, you can drink it too." Lin Qiulai felt a little reluctant, and brought the bowl to Fang Yumin's mouth.

"This is for you to drink, you have to drink it all up. Come on, try it sweet or not?" Fang Yumin pushed it back with a smile, looked at Lin Qiulai, and said, "Qiulai, you are our family The only labor force. If you collapse from heatstroke, what will you ask me and five children to do?"

"All right, I'll drink it, I'll drink it right away." Lin Qiulai immediately drank up the mung bean soup in his hand.Smashing Zui sighed contentedly: "It's so sweet! It's so delicious."

"Drink another bowl if it tastes good." Fang Yumin took the bowl from Lin Qiulai's hand and filled it again.

"Okay, save it for a while and drink again."

"In a while, this mung bean soup will be hot. Drink two more bowls as soon as it's cold. Speed!"

"Yes, sir!" Lin Qiulai imitated Xiao Ming and bowed to Fang Yumin, but made Fang Yumin laugh nondescriptly.

"Xiaoping sent some rabbits over, and I'll keep him for dinner. The main course for today's dinner is braised rabbit meat."

"My mouth is watering after hearing this, it must be delicious." Lin Qiulai sat down beside Fang Yumin and said with a smile.

"Of course, hum!" Fang Yumin raised her chin.

Lin Qiulai turned to look at Fang Yumin with a smile, seeing her appearance, couldn't help pecking her on the lips.

Fang Yumin's face became hot all of a sudden, she hurriedly pushed Lin Qiulai away and looked around, seeing that no one was staring at the culprit: "What are you doing, you are playing hooligans in broad daylight, I sue you."

Lin Qiulai didn't know what "playing hooligans" meant, but he could guess it.He smiled and said, "The lady sued the husband? The reason is that the husband kissed the lady's mouth? All right."

"Lin Qiulai, you've learned badly!" Fang Yumin's mouth twitched, and he squinted at Lin Qiulai.

Lin Qiulai bowed his hands to Fang Yumin modestly: "It's my lady who taught me well! My lady, after Xiao Ming goes to bed tonight, can I kiss again?"

"...I'm going back to make dinner." Fang Yumin put the bowl upside down on the jar and immediately stood up to leave, but she turned around curiously and asked Lin Qiulai: "Aren't you tired from doing so much work every day? Still thinking about other things of?"

Lin Qiulai laughed, and said, "That's different. It's like what the lady said about putting entertainment on work. This is more comfortable, and the work will be more exciting. My lady, how about a kiss tonight?"

Fang Yumin's face became even hotter when she heard this, and she said "You kiss mung bean soup." Then she ran home.

Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin's back and couldn't help laughing.
