Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 93 Catching the Centipede

After lunch, Mu Tianze went to Li's house to deliver a message, saying that Li Goudan would stay at Tian's house for a few days.

Quan's face turned dark on the spot, thanked Mu Tianze, grabbed him a handful of fried soybeans with sand and sent him away, went back to the house and said a few words to Mrs. Li, packed up her clothes and went back to her mother's house do not mention.

Here, the boss of Zhu's family ran to Mu's house to dig out the dry toilet when the sun was not so strong in the afternoon.

Because of Shen Jiayan's love of cleanliness and Mu Tianze's picky siblings, the dry toilets of Mu's family are among the cleanest in Dongguang Village.

As the saying goes, a flower in a crop depends entirely on dung.

The dung and soil of farmers' houses are treasures. No matter how frugal people are, those who don't want to go outside are afraid that they will enrich the land of other families.

His face was flushed, and he wanted to go home.

Before, because the original owner did not plant land or vegetable gardens, someone helped to clean up the dry toilets in two seasons every year, and the excrement belonged to them.

This year, I have to use it myself, which makes the people who are still waiting for the dry toilet of Mu's house very disappointed.

Because the vegetable garden is next to the Mu family's yard, when the wind direction changes, the smell will be poured into the Mu's yard.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family were dizzy and nauseated.

If it was before, there must be a big fuss, and people are not allowed to pour manure in the vegetable garden.

Now the brothers and sisters know that the family is struggling, and they will rely on the vegetable garden to produce the vegetables they will eat in the future. In order not to be hungry, they can only endure it.

It was Shen Jiayan who saw that the three of their brothers and sisters all had white faces, like the eggplants beaten by Shuang, especially Mu Tianrun, whose ruddy little face was always smiling and not angry, was also white at the moment, and he was pinching his nostrils with his hands, and only opened his eyes. Breathing through your mouth is as pitiful as a fish without water.

Simply let the three brothers and sisters go to the nearby hillside for a stroll. If they have free time, it would be a bad trip to bring two firewood down.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family held their noses and rushed out as if they were being pardoned.

It took several days for the smell to dissipate. In the past few days, the entire family has lost their appetite and cannot sleep well at night.

The smell finally disappeared, Shen Jiayan transplanted beet seedlings from Quan's, and after watering them, the farming work was temporarily over.

After several days of diligent watering, the vegetable garden has gradually taken shape. The survival rate of the planted vegetable seedlings is not bad, and the eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes have stopped.

Those who sow the seeds will also produce a little green shoots, which is gratifying to look at.

Mu Tianze was nurtured for a few days, and his obsession with cleanliness was almost cured. Since he couldn't help with other things at home, he simply took Mu Tianrun to wander around the vegetable garden every day. When he saw weeds and insects, he went It was ripped off.

The little chickens were also taken home. There were a total of ten of them, two roosters, and the rest were hens.

It's just a little bigger than a fist, half of its yellow fluffy hair has faded, and its gray feathers haven't grown fully yet. It's the ugliest time, but it's noisy every day.

The bugs caught from the vegetable garden every day will not be thrown away, and they will be brought back directly to feed the chickens.

Shen Jiayan remembered hearing that if you feed more worms and earthworms to the chickens, the chickens will not only grow faster, but will also be able to lay eggs when they are ready to lay eggs.

Just made a point in front of Mu Tianze, Mu Tianze walked around the vegetable garden every day to look at the beets, and in the rest of the time, he took Mu Tianrun, a small spatula, and a small bamboo basket to dig. Earthworms go.

Mu Tianrun liked this activity very much. He broke off two branches, saw worms and earthworms, put them into small bamboo baskets, and went home to feed the chickens.

Especially after a few days, when Shen Jiayan caught two more geese and came back, Mu Tianrun wished to eat and live with the geese every day.

Every morning, two geese waddled behind Mu Tianrun, patrolled the vegetable garden, and then followed Mu Tianrun for a stroll near the entrance of the village.

At night, the two geese followed behind Mu Tianrun, waddling back.

It can be regarded as Shen Jiayan's luck. The next day after the beets were planted, there were dark clouds, the weather was muggy, and the sky was dark. In the black clouds, there were lightning flashes that lit up the sky from time to time. Thunder sounded.

The weather was a little stuffy, and I was afraid of heavy rain, so I didn't dare to go out. I just sat on the porch and looked at the sky in a daze.

But cheers came from afar outside, and in the second half of the day, someone knocked on the door, it was Mrs. Bai from next door, who came to ask Shen Jiayan to catch the centipede.

Shen Jiayan was taken aback, thinking that she had heard wrong.

After listening to Bai's explanation, I realized that the weather is sultry and there is thunder and no rain, so the underground centipedes can't hide, and they will come out from the dark corners and the cracks in the ground.

At this time, those who are brave can catch the centipede.

The tools are also simple, just put on shoes, bandage the trouser legs tightly, then carry a small bucket, pour a little wine in it, and bring two long bamboo pieces made by yourself.

I searched for it on the mountain road, and found the right place, and I could see dense swarms of centipedes everywhere.

With sharp eyesight and quick hands, he picked up the centipede with a long bamboo piece and threw it into the barrel. Because there was wine in the barrel, the centipede would be fainted by the smoke after throwing it in, and he was not afraid of them crawling out.

If you are lucky, you can catch hundreds of centipedes in one night or one night.

When the rain clears the next day, the centipedes are strung one by one with bamboo sticks, then dried in the sun, and sold to the drugstore, which is also an income.

It is usually men who do this kind of work. Women are afraid of these abundant things, especially poisonous. If they are bitten, if they are lucky, they can apply some earth medicine and the pain will be cured after a few days.

If you are unlucky, you may die directly.

At this time of year, those who are courageous and want to earn a little money will not miss this opportunity.

Especially the half-grown boys, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are all gearing up, hoping to pick up a few more centipedes and earn a lot of money to buy some sweets.

Bai is a rare woman in the village who dares to catch centipedes like men. Now that she sees Shen Jiayan's taste, and knowing that her family's expenses are so high recently, she probably doesn't have enough money, so she thinks of taking her with her to make a lot of money.

When Shen Jiayan heard it, is there such a good thing?Of course she is not afraid of centipedes, and she is not a trysophobia patient, but she is interested.

Let Mu Tianze take Mu Yue and the others to stay at home and don't run around. He learned from Bai's and changed into a neat attire. He tied up his trouser legs, carried a wooden bucket, and searched for two pieces of wood in the firewood pile. Zhu Chi poured some more wine mixed with Mu Tianze's medicinal powder on the bottom of the barrel, and happily followed Bai Shi out the door.

Sure enough, when he got out of the house, there were already quite a few villagers in similar costumes on the road and at the entrance of the village, all of whom were catching centipedes.

If you are lucky, you are quick, and you have already caught the bottom of a bucket.

In the past, Bai followed her own man and was always disliked for being slow to move. This year, she had a companion, so she simply did not go with her own man, and took Shen Jiayan to the entrance of the village.

There are not many people at the entrance of this village, just a few children picking it up, yelling from time to time.
