Chapter 254
After leaving Xu's house, Shen Weimin carried an empty basket to the private plot. Before he entered the plot, it was as expected that everyone greeted him with enthusiastic laughter.

or?

Another round of applause?
There was another burst of laughter mixed with applause, and Shen Weimin couldn't help laughing.Good guy, there are more people in the time he left for such a short time.

With so many people and strong strength, not to mention the remaining small piece of potato field, even the potatoes were packed into sacks according to their size.

A row of young men picked sweet potatoes, and the potato bearers brought all the harvest from Liufen's private plot to her home like a competition.

Mrs. Xu subconsciously glanced at her daughter-in-law's belly: she's not yet forty, and she's been raised well during confinement this time, so it's not impossible to add two more brothers to her little grandson.

Bai Xiulan didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, and seeing her nephews coming to help one by one, she hurriedly carried the pot and bowl to pour water while they were already in the yard.

When it was over, she asked the uncle to take the remaining water bottle to the private plot, and then hurried into the house to prepare dinner while the pair of children were guarded by the mother-in-law.

Xu Changqing saw that her mother was busy.

At noon, she deliberately prepared more pancakes, and since her aunt and aunt did not eat at her house, there must be no shortage of staple food tonight, just stew two dishes later and reheat them.

No, shouted.

Xu Changqing laughed.

But it's just that the pancakes are enough.

"It doesn't need to be too complicated. Leave the pot to fry two vegetarian dishes later, and make a rabbit stewed vermicelli first. If you don't think it's enough, then fish out of the tank."

"Okay! Just go about your business and be careful."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Xu Changqing first put away the pumpkins she had these days, and now they are still stored in the yard and in a cool place under the eaves. The water on the skin must be dried to better prevent the pumpkins that are piled up and more prone to rot during storage. The wax gourd and other things are first put into the cellar one by one.

Correct.

cellar.

This kind of cellar is usually dug to a depth of two or three meters, with a square opening above it, and a ladder is placed inside for people to go up and down.

Every household in Baizigou had such a cellar in the early days, and it was used to hide food when it was too late to enter the mountain or the mountain was not in normal times.

When her father built this house back then, not only did he dig a well because of the inconvenient use of water, her father also dug a cellar because he was working outside and rarely at home.

The cellar in her house was dug relatively deep, with a depth of three meters, a length of five meters, and a width of four meters.The interior is also very exquisite, and the four sides are built with blue bricks.

Therefore, the inside is very dry, and the Chinese cabbage stored in her memory has never been frozen.That is, once the vents are closed, extra care should be taken when going down to the bottom of the cellar.

No matter how long it has been since the last time you went in, you must open the cellar for a while when you go down again to let the air circulate and light a candle to test it out before you go down.

Now the vent is in the warehouse, and the cellar is next to the cellar next to the small garden. The vent and the cellar are always open during the day and closed for some time at night.

Xu Changqing didn't ask Mrs. Xu to help hand over the winter melons, and moved the winter melons and pumpkins that were about to be received in the cellar near the entrance of the cellar. She hugged one, and she went down the wooden ladder.

To be honest, after so many years, it's not that she didn't find it troublesome, and it wasn't that she didn't have to dig an extra vegetable cellar in the backyard like other people's because of too much harvest.

In the end, I don't know if I don't try it. Only after I try it will I know how wise her father's decision was.Even though digging a vegetable cellar seems extremely simple, it is actually very troublesome.

I remember that the year before last, there was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, and even her family could get a lot of it.When she asked someone to dig a sweet potato cellar, she first brought back wood, straw, and grass one after another.

When these materials are ready, after choosing a large open space in the backyard, dig down, and the excavated soil will be firmly rammed on the edges of the surrounding pits.

When the outline is out, beams and purlins have to be placed on the cellar entrance like a grass house, and grass is spread on the grass, straw is spread on the grass, and soil is pressed on the straw.

In case of being blown away by a strong wind one day, the last piece of soil must be pressed tightly.From digging the pit to building it, she was busy for a whole week.

Last year, Bai Mi made a fuss about getting married again, and it was very annoying. Anyway, only one cellar is enough for the family, so she was not in the mood to go to Zhang Luo's vegetable cellar again.

It's just that I didn't expect that the cellar with most of the stock after spring every year is not because there is more stock after marrying a person, but it has been swept away long ago.

On their side, the ground below three meters can be regarded as the permafrost layer, so the bottom of the cellar will not freeze in winter, and the temperature in summer is also low, so it can be used as a permanent vegetable cellar.

Therefore, it can be said that her family stores almost all the food here except for the small grains that do not need to be stored here.

Now the cellar is empty with only empty shelves and empty pottery jars. If the east room had not been used as a small warehouse before, I am afraid that the cooking would have already been completed.

In fact, it is almost the same.It's not that the bastard is kind, the reason why the claws haven't reached into the east room is that the things that have gone back are enough for the autumn harvest.

The winter melons, old pumpkins, etc. were taken back to the cellar one by one, and the dried beans, eggplants and other dried vegetables that had been dried in the yard for the last time, as well as dried mushrooms and fungus were also packed into the cellar.

The remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes that have just been pulled back from the private plot have been picked, and if they are ready to be put directly into the cellar, they must be dried outside to dry the surface moisture.

Up and down, it was two hours after the busy work was over.On the last trip up, Xu Changqing sealed the opening of the cellar before her mother had time to go down to the cellar, and then moved the pile of debris up.

Although most of the winter vegetables have not been stored in the cellar now, and her mother's habit is not to go down every now and then to see if there is anything wrong, but she still has to guard against it.

Next, she must take advantage of this harvest season to start stuffing things into the cellar, but it is not an ordinary trouble to explain again and again, it is better to be trained one last time.

Bai Xiulan didn't know that her daughter had already planned to make a mistake before she entered the mountain. At this time, seeing that the last fish was stewed, there were only two vegetarian dishes left?

Glancing at the back of the mother-in-law who was finally willing to go back to the house to guard the two children, Bai Xiulan hurriedly winked at the daughter who came in, and then secretly pointed in the direction of the private plot with her right hand.

go!

Xu Changqing laughed and shook his head: Many times her mother is unusually strange. Logically speaking, the family has been separated for almost 20 years. Why are you still cowarding your mother-in-law?

Even if everyone is helping your nephew with work in the private plot today, so what if you are a nun and invite your nephews to have dinner at home, your third brother and third sister-in-law are not at home.

What's more, isn't your mother-in-law always taking things out of your house as favors? In essence, there is not much difference between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the end, it also implied that she, the daughter, was going to invite someone back, not to mention outsiders, and even the mother-in-law had to misunderstand that the granddaughter was in charge of the whole family.
