Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 243 Give Liu Xuer Some Confidence

But Chun Niu didn't believe Liu Ya's words, she shook her head and said, "No, if you go astray, you can't spend a long time like this. It's so dark today, you just came back from outside. Ya'er, what's the matter, don't hide it. Me, if there is anything I can help, tell me and I will help. If there is something that others cannot know, I promise not to tell you. "

Seeing Chunniu's serious look, as if she could see that she had done something bad, Liu Ya laughed.Holding Chun Niu backhanded, she said, "It's really all right. I just took a trip up the mountain to find something. Don't ask me anything else. You will come to help me when I have a plan."

Seeing that Liu Ya refused to talk about it, Chun Niu stopped asking about it, but she still said: "Then you go back now, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't I come here to ask you to help me out." Liu Ya said a little embarrassed, thinking that Chun Niu used herself as a shield back then, and now she came to ask Chun Niu to help her lie.

Chun Niu said indifferently: "Okay, what should I say? You tell me. Then you all go back quickly."

Liu Ya said: "Just say that Xiao Shu'er and I were playing at your house. Say that I was talking to you, and Xiao Shu'er followed Siping to learn how to cook a kang, and it's time to finish learning."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Chun Niu nodded and agreed.

Only then did Liu Ya pull Xiao Shu'er back.After walking a few steps, I remembered something, turned back to Chunniu and said, "Today I told Siping to follow my father to learn how to weave baskets. Don't forget. Look at the field and house in the past two days. Well, come here. Chunniu, you come too, I have something to arrange for you. "

"Hey, good." Chun Niu hurriedly agreed, her face full of gratitude.

Then Liu Ya waved her hand and told Chun Niu to go home, and she and Xiao Shu'er also left.

When I got home, there was a lamp hanging on the lamp pole in the middle of the yard.Through the fence, I could see that the light in the kitchen was off, but the light in Liu Dacheng's house was on and the window was still open.It seemed that Liu Xu'er had finished cooking and placed them in her father's room, but Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er never came back, and they were just waiting in Liu Dacheng's room.

Liu Ya gently tugged on Xiao Shu'er's sleeve, signaling him to be smarter for a while.Xiao Shu'er nodded, lowered her voice and said, "Second Sister, don't worry."

Xiao Shu'er pushed open the courtyard door and called out: "Father, Eldest Sister, we are back."

"Why are you back so late?" Liu Dacheng poked his head out of the window first, and said anxiously: "If you don't come back again, I will ask Xu'er to go to Siping's house to find you."

Liu Xu'er also leaned out of the window and said, "Yeah, Dad is in a hurry. The food is getting cold, so I'll heat it up now."

Liu Ya interjected: "Isn't it because I forgot the time when I was playing? Xiao Shu'er and Siping are still learning how to cook a kang. Didn't you say that Brother Wu Niu is eating at our house, and I want you to chat with him, so we will Play for a while longer."

Liu Xu'er came out with the food, with a wry smile on her face, and said, "I'm gone, I walked with you. I asked Xiao Shu'er to look for you, but it turned out that the two of you were lucky and came back at this time."

Liu Ya turned her head to look at Xiao Shu'er, and asked him with her eyes why she didn't tell her about it.

Xiao Shu'er quietly shrugged his shoulders with an innocent look on his face.He didn't even know that Brother Wu Niu came to the house.When he came back, he saw burnt rice scattered all over the floor.

Liu Ya thought about it, Xiao Shu'er took the goat to nurse after returning home, and he hadn't come back when he left.It is estimated that Chen Wuniu followed him when he left, and he really didn't know that Chen Wuniu had come.So he quickly changed the subject and said, "Father, I was thinking about finding someone to repair the house in a few days. Do you know how much it costs to repair our house? How much would it cost to build a new house?"

Liu Ya knows that Chunniu's old house needs to be repaired for two or three taels of silver, but Chunniu's old house is actually better and bigger than their Liu's house.She remembered that her father said that even if the adobe houses of their family were sold, they would cost five or six taels of silver.If it costs two or three taels to repair it, and the result is still living in a dilapidated house, it is better to build a new house directly.

After hearing this, Liu Dacheng looked up at his roof and yard, shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know about this father, I haven't repaired the house for a long time."

"Then I'll find a mason to take a look." Liu Ya said, and helped Liu Xu'er carry the food to the kitchen.

Liu Xu'er took the opportunity to ask: "Ya'er, do you want to repair the house?"

Liu Ya said: "Yes, it's summer, and the rainy season is coming soon. If you don't repair it now, you will have to endure the summer, and you can repair it after the rainy season."

Liu Xu'er was even more surprised: "Didn't you lend all the money to Aunt Chunniu?"

"Oh, I plan to repair it after I earn more money." Liu Ya stalked, but didn't tell the truth.

Liu Xu'er poured the vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them again, and said, "I went to the town to buy vegetable seeds today, and tomorrow I will turn over all the places where vegetables can be grown in the front and back yards, and add some fertilizer. planted."

As soon as she heard about fertilization, Liu Ya frowned, and said quickly: "Sister, I have a request, can I not use that smelly farmyard manure. I can't stand the smell."

If there is anything Liu Ya is not used to after time travel, it is that going to the latrine makes her absolutely disgusted.But there is no way, there is no flush toilet in ancient times, and she is not omnipotent, so I really can't design it.If Liu Xu'er wanted to grow vegetables, she would get some fertilizer and spread it in the yard... Liu Ya felt a chill when she thought about it.

Seeing Liu Ya's frowning expression of bitterness, Liu Xu'er smiled.Said: "I don't need to use that kind of fertilizer to grow vegetables in my yard. Besides, that kind of fertilizer can only be used after fermentation, and it won't smell after fermentation. I can get some plant ash and sprinkle it on the ground, and it can be done by turning it over a few times. Fertilizer. In the future, we will dig a pit and bury the harvested vegetable seedlings, and they can also be used as fertilizer after fermentation.”

"Oh, so that's the case. I really don't understand the matter of farming." Liu Ya smiled after hearing this.

Liu Xu'er also smiled, and said: "There are many types of fertilizers. According to what you mean, can we grow crops without manure? Vegetable leaves, chicken, duck and pig offal can be used as fertilizer. Even if we have eaten Big pig bones, smashed and mixed in the soil are also fertilizers."

"Big sister, you really know a lot." Liu Ya praised Liu Xu'er generously.

Liu Xu'er also smiled, and said, "Aunt Niu taught me these things just now, and I don't know how to farm the land."

"Elder Sister, from now on, our family's vegetable field will be handed over to you. Your work is hard and important." Liu Ya knew that Liu Xu'er had always been unconfident, and even had low self-esteem.Giving her a little more encouragement can also change her temperament.
