Chapter 236 Busy
the whole afternoon
Zhang Feng and his family are busy peeling corn husks
"Xiaofeng, tie up these corn husks and put them under the eaves." After a while, the corn husks piled up on the nearby ground, Wang Guilan instructed her son.

"Understood, Mom!" Zhang Feng had been immersed in peeling corn husks just now, so he didn't notice that the ground was almost full of piles.

Holding the rope, Zhang Feng gathered the corn husks together, tied them up and placed them under the eaves on the side of the house. After drying, they became good fire starters, which were needed every day for lighting a fire.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi walked in, greeted everyone with a smile, "Auntie, big sister, madman, I'm back!"

"Yiyi is back, come in and sit down!" The mother immediately smiled and shouted when she saw Liu Yiyi, she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law-to-be.

"You guys are peeling corn, and I'm here to help." Liu Yiyi quickly moved a stool over, sat by the corn pile, and peeled corn with everyone.

"No, you can just sit on the side." The mother saw that Liu Yiyi's whole body was spotless, and it would be difficult to wash it if it got dirty.

"It's okay, my clothes are easy to wash, and they will be washed quickly in the washing machine!" Liu Yiyi said with a smile as if she knew what Zhang's mother was thinking.

After a while, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu came to the yard to help after their lunch break. With their participation, the speed accelerated again, and Zhang Feng estimated that it should be done before dark.

…………

"Eldest sister, you haven't looked at the online store today, you should go and have a look..." Zhang Feng suddenly remembered that the eldest sister hadn't looked after the online store today, so he reminded.

"Xiaoqin hurry up and get busy with your affairs, we are not in a hurry here." Mother also quickly echoed, this is related to an income of 2000 yuan, if you earn so much less money because of peeling corn, it is not worthwhile up.

"That's right, we are here..." Everyone said with a smile.

"Then I'll go." The eldest sister must have been dizzy too busy, that's why she forgot such an important matter. After everyone said that, she said goodbye and hurriedly walked into the house.

……

"Xiaofeng, is Xiaofeng at home??"

Zhang Feng was peeling corn with everyone in the yard, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the gate of the yard, he looked back and saw that it was Mr. Wang, a regular customer who bought eels.

"Hey! Grandpa Wang, come in and sit down!" Zhang Feng quickly stood up and greeted.

"Hehe, because there are guests at home, I came here to buy two or three catties of rice field eels and take them home." The old man said with a smile after sitting down.

"Okay, Grandpa Wang, please have a cup of tea first, and I'll help you catch it!" Zhang Feng poured a cup of tea for the old man, went back to the house, took a net bag and a small bucket, and went to the backyard to catch eels.

A few minutes later, Zhang Feng came back with a small half bucket of rice eel, and weighed it to three and a half catties. The old man paid 350 yuan, and hurried back with the rice field eel, busy going home to entertain guests.

In the evening, Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu cooked a table of good dishes

The main course was of course the rabbit caught by Dahei and Xiaohei. The old man used half a rabbit to make two delicious dishes, one was stewed rabbit meat and the other was braised rabbit meat.

In addition, there are several vegetables, cold cucumber, cold lettuce, a stir-fried cabbage, and finally a pumpkin and cowpea soup.

Looking at the whole table of good food, Zhang Feng's appetite increased greatly, and two greedy dogs had been waiting by the side, and they couldn't drive them away no matter what.

"Hehe, these two little rascals..." Grandma Liu saw that the two smart dogs liked them very much, so she hurriedly prepared food for them, including rabbit meat soup with rice, and a few pieces of delicious wild rabbit meat, and gave them back at the end. They added a few vegetable leaves, worried that their nutrition would be unbalanced, and added some vitamins.

After dinner, everyone was busy again for more than an hour, and it was not until the sky was completely dark that all the corn husks were peeled off.

After sending Liu Yiyi and her grandparents away, everyone would go to the house to rest after taking a bath. The mother and eldest sister were already very tired after a busy day.

Although Zhang Feng wasn't tired, he didn't want to disturb them and disturb their rest, so he climbed upstairs early, turned on the computer and started surfing the Internet.

Quiet at night
Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the starry night sky
Boom, click!

Soon there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and dark clouds covered the sky. Zhang Feng woke up from his sleep and saw the weather change through the window. He immediately got up, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

"It's raining! Get up quickly..."

At this time, the whole village was busy, and everyone got up one after another. The originally dark village became bright again. Everyone took out raincloths to cover the harvested crops, so as not to be wet by the heavy rain, mildew and rot.

"Xiaofeng is all covered." Mother put on her clothes and rushed out, seeing that Zhang Feng had already covered the plastic sheet, she asked with concern.

"It's all covered, and I've built three floors!" Because the corn piles are all piled up in the higher ground in the yard, as long as they are well covered, they will hardly get caught in the rain, and as long as it is not continuous rainy weather, It will be dried again soon and will not affect the quality of the corn, so Zhang Feng is not too worried.

"Oh, how can this damn weather change?" Mother said with a worried look on her brows.

"Mom, it's all right. I read that the weather forecast said it was just a shower. After the rain, it will clear up tomorrow, and the sunny day will last for a long time..." Zhang Feng said with a smile.

At this moment, bean-sized raindrops fell down, and soon the raindrops became bigger and denser, and the rainwater dripping from the eaves gradually connected into a line, and the sky outside the house was completely covered by the rainwater. The rain cloth on the corn was also cracked.

"Mom, it's okay, I'll go to rest, I'm sure I won't get wet!"

"That's fine, you go up to rest earlier!"

When his mother returned to the house, Zhang Feng checked the rain cloth and found that it was well covered. The corn below was not wet by the rain, and the accumulated water on the ground could not flood here, so Zhang Feng closed the door and continued to go back to the house to rest. .

oh oh oh~~
The next day

It's another sunny day
The morning sun shines through the window and shines into Zhang Feng's room. Stimulated by the sun, Zhang Feng gradually wakes up, moves his hands, gets up and stretches, feeling that his whole body is full of inexhaustible energy again.

Climbing downstairs and opening the gate, the first thing Zhang Feng did was to remove the rain cloth, let the corn continue to dry, and then cleaned up the accumulated water in the yard. After cleaning the small yard, his mother and eldest sister also got up, and then everyone started Work out and practice building gymnastics in the yard.

After practicing gymnastics, everyone went to the backyard to start picking vegetables. Zhang Feng would replant a batch every few days, so that there would always be vegetables in the yard for sale, and there would be no shortage of vegetables in the market in rotation.
