I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 7 Farming and Farming (ask for a monthly ticket)

Ye Xiaomei lifted the quilt, put on her patched clothes, and habitually looked for the mirror to comb, but found that there was no mirror in the room.

That's right, when she came back, her family was poor and couldn't afford a bronze mirror at all.Then she tied her own hair with imagination.

Here, Jiang Zhi tied up her hair with a wooden hairpin, then went to the utility room to get a sickle and a hoe.

Today weed the seedlings in the vegetable garden, and tomorrow I have to go to the fields to clean up the paddy fields.

Many families rented cattle to plow the land, and her own family was no exception. After dinner, she went to the village to discuss with a household with cattle.

This is real farming!Although I lived in the village for a while when I was a child, that was all in my previous life.

Unexpectedly, she has become an out-and-out peasant woman now.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Ye Xiaomei pulled Brother Heng out, and Jiang Zhiguan saw that her aura had changed, as if she had corners and thorns.

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Zhi handed her the sickle.

A family of three squatted in the vegetable garden, and Ye Heng's baby was still in the obedient stage. Seeing A Niang and the little aunt weeding so hard, he also learned to weed.

"Brother Heng, can you tell the difference between seedlings and weeds? Don't pull out the seedlings." Ye Xiaomei pointed to the clumps of green seedlings and said to Ye Heng.

The little baby really didn't understand, so Jiang Zhi threw a bunch of weeds to Ye Heng: "Brother Heng, take a closer look, and then tell Mom what's the difference between these two."

Ye Heng picked up the weeds and compared them in style, he was thinking about how to express it.

"Mother, I know, the seedlings grow straight, which looks good, but the weeds stick to the ground, which is not good." Xiaowa Yeheng said loudly after comparing the two.

"Brother Heng is amazing! He's even better than little aunt." Ye Xiaomei praised.

After being praised, Ye Heng chuckled.

While weeding, Jiang Zhi taught Ye Heng new things and corrected his pronunciation over and over again.

Jiang Zhi rehearsed the language of this place in her mind for a long time. At first she didn't speak much, and it took a day and a night to digest the memory of the original owner before she fully adapted to it.

Ye Heng obediently followed and learned a lot.

The vegetable garden is not big, except for some vegetables that I eat every day, there are only two gardens of seedlings left.It was over in less than an hour.In the afternoon, the sun became stronger, and the water in the small courtyard was almost evaporated.

Ye Xiaomei carried a wooden bucket to fetch water from the well, while Jiang Zhi took her baby to inspect the wheat field.

Just like the vegetable garden, the wheat has already headed right in front of my house, and the wheat can be harvested after the seedlings are transplanted.

It's just that the ears of wheat, Jiang Zhi is holding the ears of wheat that are not long, are they too small?
With such a low grain output, it will not be possible to rely on the land for a long time. It seems that some methods have to be found to make a living.

Ye Heng wants to study in the future, and although Ye Erlang has a high probability of becoming a carpenter, Jiang Zhi still thinks that Ye Erlang should at least be able to read and write, otherwise he won't know if he is cheated someday.

There is also Ye Xiaomei, she should have her own plans and considerations in the future, but without money, it is difficult to move forward.

In the evening, Ye Xiaomei took Ye Heng to cook at home, while Jiang Zhi traveled across the fields to the second bedroom of Ye's family.

This place is called Yejiawan, which means that people with the surname Ye are all over the place. Although there have been wars and various natural disasters, many people with foreign surnames have settled down, but the surname Ye still dominates.

Jiang Zhi didn't know how many years this line of Ye's went back. She only knew that it was divided into two lines from her ancestors.In addition, there are some side houses, and everyone lives on this piece of land.

Counting from the ancestors, the big family and the second family have always been not particularly close, but they have never had any conflicts, and occasionally help each other.

Compared with the thin population of the Ye family's first family, the Ye family's second family is lively. In this generation, the Ye family's second family has achieved four generations living under one roof. The juniors can add up to three tables, and the youngest one was born not long ago.

It's really possible!Jiang Zhi sighed.

In areas with backward productivity, people are the natural resource of productivity.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the big house, Jiang Zhi's seniority in the entire Ye family is not low.

Xiaolang, the second bedroom of the Ye family, who was about the same age as Ye Dalang, had to call Ye Dalang his uncle, so Jiang Zhi and Ye Xiaolang's parents were of the same generation, and Jiang Zhi had to call the old man of the second bedroom of the Ye family Ye Erbo, and Ye Xiaolang's parents brothers and sisters-in-law.

The old man of the second bedroom of the Ye family is in his [-]s this year. He is a real farmer. He has gathered his life savings to raise two cows, and it is these two cows that maintain the prosperity of the second bedroom of the Ye family.

During the famine years, the second family of the Ye family relied on the income from the cattle to revitalize the second family and a large family.Therefore, Niu is the life-guarding god of the second room of the Ye family, and it is a precious treasure.

Now the spring plowing, cattle are of great use, and there is an endless stream of people who come to invite cattle to plow the land every day.

When Jiang Zhi arrived, Mrs. Ye had just returned home with the cow after work.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you here?" Mrs. Ye was feeding the cows, when she turned around and saw a figure in mourning.

In Yejiawan, only the eldest son of the Ye family is wearing hemp and mourning.

"Second uncle is well, is your cow free recently?" Jiang Zhi asked standing at the gate of the yard.

"Yes, there will be a free time when we finish plowing the fields of Lao Wu's family tomorrow morning." Old Mrs. Ye spoke with great anger. It's mud.

"That's fine. I'll ask my second uncle to help plow my two acres of land tomorrow afternoon. The money is the same as theirs."

"Okay, let's go to the one in Shankou, right? I promise to give you a proper one," Erbo Ye responded readily.

"But what is money or not? You... don't be polite, this year my second uncle won't charge you." Old Mrs. Ye felt that the eldest son of the Ye family was too pitiful, and the time was not good, so he might be able to help.

"How can I do that? If Er Bomo wants to do this, it will break the rules." Jiang Zhi said.

It seems that Erfang is really easy to talk to, and the people are relatively simple.

"My daughter-in-law is obedient. Now you are managing the whole family by yourself, and you have a baby. It's not easy. The second uncle can't help you with anything else, and it doesn't take much effort to plow two fields." Old Mrs. Ye's tone was very sincere.

"That's right, big sister, Da Lang is gone, but we are still sisters-in-law to each other, so don't refuse this matter." A commoner woman came out of the room. It hangs below the knees, with apricot trousers underneath, and a sachet hanging from the waist.

"Hello sister-in-law!" Jiang Zhili said.The name of Mrs. Ye's sister-in-law is Qiuyan, the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Ye, and she is in her early forties this year.

Qiu waved her hand: "Be obedient, tomorrow afternoon you can just prepare some grass that cattle like to eat, and leave the rest to father-in-law."

Uncle Ye gave Qiu Shi an appreciative look.

Jiang Zhi said: "So, thank you, Second Uncle and Eldest Sister-in-law."

"You're welcome, if you have any difficulties, just come to us." Ye Erbo nodded.

After thanking her, Jiang Zhi went to the field. She wanted to check the situation around the two-acre field in person.

Seeing Jiang Zhi walking farther and farther, Old Master Ye said analytically: "Just now Dalang's wife's eyes are red, she must have suffered a lot these days, and she almost died when Dalang was buried that day, but I have to worry about the family My child, now she comes to me to plow the fields, which shows that she has no desire to die in her heart."
