Chapter 23
He drove chickens, ducks and geese to the river again, and when he came back, he saw Chen Jiang waiting for him.

"Third sister, the soil embryo is already dry, Zhuzi and the others want to send it to you."

"Okay, I'm not going anywhere today."

If you think about it, let them stand by the west wall, and it will be convenient to build a firewood house later, but it is a bit troublesome when it rains, and I don’t have the courage to go to the county to buy linoleum.

People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries, and I was like this. At that time, I saw bundles of linoleum in the grocery store, but I didn't pay attention to it. Only now that I use it, I regret it.

Knowing that someone was coming, I didn't go back to lie down, tidy up the vegetables in the yard, and saw that the leeks were already quite tall, so they should be edible, right?The cabbage is not too small.

Suddenly, dumplings with cabbage and leek meat appeared in my mind, and I almost drool thinking about it.

I ate dumplings at noon today.There are buckwheat noodles in the storeroom, and half of the white noodles are placed, so that it should not be seen.

There is really no way, you have to be careful in everything you do.

Immediately act to clean up the vegetables, wash the cabbage, and scald them with hot water for a while.

While she was cutting leeks, Chen Jiang and the others came over.

Looking at the leek in the third sister's hand, Chen Jiang felt distressed, it's too small, isn't it?Commander Chen Miao told them to put them on the west side.Not to mention, these boys are quite capable, and there are 100 yuan for three cars.Very powerful, it seems that there should be no problem with my firewood room.

They are only two or three years younger than Chen Miao, so they are quite embarrassed.

Chen Miao asked Chen Jiang to count the money for them, and she was unwilling to talk to others, especially boys of the same age.

"Third sister, there's more. Come back later and count together."

Chen Miao ignored them and went to cook by herself.

When Chen Jiang and the others came back again, she had already started making dumplings.

Chen Jiang settled the bill for them, and the four got twenty copper coins.There is still 200 yuan that has not been dried.

Five copper coins per person, with smiles on their faces.

Chen Miao asked Chen Jiang to feed the donkey and come back to light the fire.

"Third sister, I forgot what to feed the dumplings, they are so delicious."

"I'm full, it's okay. Look at how much I've done."

"Third sister, you put too much oil. It smells so good."

"Then you'll eat it all."

"I'll just try it. You can eat the rest at night. My little nephew wants to eat it."

"No, you eat." Chen Miao pushed the remaining dumplings to Chen Jiang.

After eating, Chen Jiang ran away, and Chen Miao rested. Now she can't do it if she doesn't take a nap.

In the evening, Chen Jiang and Zhuzi pushed the soil embryo over, "Sister San, I made this." It means that there is no need to pay.

Chen Miao also understood, thinking about getting more delicious food for this kid in the future.

In the next few days, a lot of soil embryos were harvested.Chen Miao looks like it should be enough to build a firewood house, right?It's better to go to Brother Zhao Tian and ask them to help build the firewood house.

"Chen Miao, let's go and have a look tomorrow."

In fact, if there is a man in the family, there is no need to do this, you can cover it yourself.A little daughter-in-law is definitely not enough.

The chickens, ducks and geese had just been released the next day, and the two Zhao Tian brothers came over, "Chen Miao, if you are talking about such a big place, the soil embryos are not enough."

"Brother, how much do you think is missing? Chen Jiang and the others are trying to get me out of the soil."

"There are two more."

Chen Miao knew that he had to cover it quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome when it rained. "Brother, do you still have soil embryos at home?"

"Yes, but not enough."

"Brother, I want to build it before it even rains. Think of a way, build it as soon as possible, and strengthen the donkey shed, the roof of my house needs to be repaired, and the chicken coop needs to be repaired. I am big Stomach, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future. Let's see how much it costs."

The two brothers turned around, "Chen Miao, you can fix it for two yuan."

Chen Miao really felt that this brother was real.

"Okay, big brother, when do you think it will be built?"

"The day after tomorrow, go find the soil embryo tomorrow."

Three days later, the firewood house was built. It was really big, taking up a quarter of the yard.The roof is also strengthened, even if it rains, there is no problem with snow in winter?Although it cost two yuan, Chen Miao felt it was worth it.

Now he is completely down-to-earth, he will go to the field every day, and the weeds and vegetables he brings back will be eaten by the little donkey.

In July, the weather is hot and it rains a lot, Chen Miao is a little worried, how to harvest the wheat?
It wasn't until mid-July that the sun cleared and it was too hot, but the wheat turned yellow in two days, so it could be harvested.

Chen Jiang came over at night, "Ask Zhuzi and the others, is it okay if you cut the wheat and pay me?"

"Third sister. Do you want to hire someone? Is that okay?"

"I have a big belly now, and my waist is always uncomfortable. You can take them and cut them back, can each of them give five copper coins a day?"

"Okay, just one mu of land, the three of us will get it back early in a day."

"Find two more people, don't get tired."

"It costs money to find more people, and we have to take care of the lunch at noon, Zhu Zi, Er Lei, the three of us can do it all day.

Sister, don't put so much oil in cooking. "

"Okay, then tomorrow, take advantage of the good weather. There are two sickles at home."

"Sister, it's better to pull it out directly, or you won't be able to get rid of the remaining stubble."

"Isn't that even more tiring? Find another one." Chen Miao still thought about burning it with fire, fearing that it would burn the corn.

"Well, I'm going to tell them now."

Now Chen Miao is really at ease.I'm glad I don't have to work.

The recovered wheat was placed in the yard. Although there was already a cane, I didn’t dare to use that much force, and there was no such a big space. I just piled it in the yard and scraped it with a hoe, just like scraping sorghum.It's slow, but not dangerous.

The next day she released the chickens, ducks and geese, and went directly to the field without going home.

The four and a half children have already done one-third of it. In fact, it is true. Do it early to save the heat at noon.

When I hurried home, I put pancakes, brown sugar, and fried cabbage, but I couldn’t put anything else.

Today's half-grown child is a good labor force, and he works very fast.

Zhu Zi and Chen Jiang sent the cart home and put it in the yard.

Chen Miao scraped the grains with a hoe, but the skins came off along with the grains.This still doesn't work, you still have to hit with a stick.

It was quite frustrating to think about it. I only planted wheat for one year, and I will never plant it again.It's easy to imagine, but it's nothing when it really gets better.

By noon, all the wheat had been pushed back. There was still a lot of wheat in this acre of land, and it was possible to beat two to three hundred catties of wheat grains.

Call them four to eat.Zhuzi and the others were a bit cautious at first, but Chen Jiang let them eat, "My third sister made this for us, after eating, follow me to dry all the wheat, and type it out when it's not raining."
