Farm Widow: Pick up a husband to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 122
This night, it was really tossing and tossing for a long time. After working all day, the wild boar was bled and shaved at night. The family cooked some hot and sour noodles at random and ate them.

Old man Wei even stayed up all night with a pine oil lamp on to break open the wild boar, change it into a wicker-shaped pork, sprinkle salt on it, and put it in a wooden basin. Then he washed and put out the candle, and then went back to the house to sleep peacefully. go.

Zhang Xiaolan was discussing with Jing Yuan at the bedside, and arranged for some capable family members to help Zhang Luo's family. Uncle Wei is getting older, and he can no longer point his family to do heavy work like before. Anyway, there are more people now. , Xi'er was pregnant again, and was the father-in-law of her own brother.

There are a lot of people talking right now, so we can't let some people who like to gossip talk.

After chatting with each other, the two soon fell asleep. Zhang Xiaolan had another strange dream that night...

Yes, she hasn't had a dream for a long time!

This time I dreamed that the snow this year was extremely cold, and the days of the deep winter were even colder than last year, and this coldness would be extended for two months...

When she woke up, looking at the white light coming in from the window, she recalled the dream of last night...

This dream is not a good omen. Last year, her family stayed on the mountain for four whole months, and the food was prepared in advance, but this year is different.

There are so many more people, and the snow has to cover for half a year!

If these six months were replaced by previous years, it might not matter. Nowadays, there are years of famines, and many people will starve to death without food.

She thought about this, and the movements of her hands didn't stop.

It's impossible to just take this family up the mountain to hide and relax this year.

With so many people eating, we have to hurry up and make arrangements before winter begins.

Fortunately, last night, the carriage couldn't hold the extra grain, so the urgent need was saved right now.

But this food is not enough for half a year, so we have to find a way.

Moreover, there is not so much firewood ready at the foot of the mountain, and people have to be ordered to chop firewood and come back to prepare it these days.

"What's wrong with Ma'am? You left in such a hurry."

Yuan Kui just came over from the courtyard next door, ready to report on today's arrangements, and never imagined seeing his wife with such a preoccupied appearance.

"You came at the right time, and arranged for a group of women and children to quickly pickle the white radish and taro lotus leaves in our yard, and ordered the whole yard to plant some of the peppers we planted before."

"Besides, winter is coming soon, so we have to arrange a group of people to hide in the mountains and cut some firewood for preparation. Every household has to prepare enough, at least half a year's supply."

"Also, during the time of chopping firewood, by the way, make all the yards look like the small bamboo houses on the mountain, and seal them up as an indoor vegetable garden..."

Crackling, I explained all the questions that I could think of this morning.

Yuan Kui was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time he had seen the frowning side of his wife up close.

He couldn't help thinking, it seemed that this matter was imminent, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, he ordered everything one by one, and a group of people went into the mountain one after another.

Under Jing Yuan's instructions, the millet cut yesterday is drying on the bamboo mats in each yard. Shuanzi personally led a door-to-door inspection, and saw that there were family members under his command, and looked at the age-appropriate ones. Let me report to my wife later and arrange new errands.

After the end, he rushed to the new house. The work was almost completed in two days. He had to go in to see if there was anything else to be improved. Before he collapsed into the courtyard, he listened to his wife's voice
