Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 63 Exceptions
Jinghan and Wenxuan didn't go out today either, but led their two puppies around the venue, keeping an eye on the movement outside.Last night, everyone was quite tired, and I was afraid that someone would take advantage of the loophole today.

Fortunately, at noon, the wind stopped completely, and people came to the village, so everyone was relieved.Village head Zhou brought people over to see what was going on in the venue. "Zhixin, you have worked hard, did you not sleep last night?"

"No, this night, howling ghosts and wolves, how can you dare to sleep? Thanks to the bad weather, no one dared to come to the mountain, otherwise, it would be really choking." Thinking about it, Zhixin was afraid. Someone sneaked in last night, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of losses.However, after thinking about it, no one would dare to come out to seek death in this kind of weather.

"Okay, let's go to work in the field and clean up those sheds. There are so many people at the moment, you all have to rest for a while, and you should pay more attention tonight." Village Chief Zhou said in a heavy tone.Sometimes in previous years, people would come to steal ginseng, and people from the village came up in shifts to help watch.Old Liu was drunk every day, and he didn't know if he lost his stick. If he was just pointed at, the whole venue would be stolen.The original small shacks in Shenchangzi were where the villagers lived when they came to visit Shenchang. "It's set for this year, and the hammer will come up on August [-]th. It will only take ten days and eight days. Zhixin, you should work harder. I have discussed it with the villagers. If you add five characters for more than one zhang, the villagers will not come up."

Zhixin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Uncle, there's no need. What we do is to look at reference work. It's only a little bit tiring for a year, and there is no need to raise the money. Originally, it was ten feet and five cents, plus Five Wen, the villagers’ family would have to spend nearly one hundred Wen more.” It would be good to earn more money, but Zhixin was afraid that the villagers would say that the Xu family was too greedy.

"What are you talking about? In previous years, didn't we send people from various households up the mountain to help look at the ginseng? This year, we don't need people from the village. They hurry up to take over the land and so on. What is this one hundred Wen? That's it. Now, you can take this money with peace of mind. Everything is expensive this year, let’s see how the price of the stick is. If it’s good, the village will discuss how to increase the entrance fee. It’s much better, and the money should go up.” Village head Zhou praised Zhixin for his good work, and then went to the ginseng field with his belongings to tidy up the wind-damaged shed.

Zhixin was relieved when he saw that there were many people in the venue.Last night he hardly closed his eyes all night, and now he was really sleepy, so he and Zhiming all went back to the room to sleep.Although Xue Shi and Zhu Shi did not sleep well at night, they still stared at each other for a while, and it was not good for them all to sleep. No one was in charge of the venue, so the two sisters-in-law went outside to clean up the bean stand.The wind last night knocked down a lot of crops and vegetables in the field, especially beans and cucumbers.These two things were to be erected with racks, they were already high, but now they all fell to the ground.

According to solar terms, beans and so on should be removed from the shelves at this time.This year in the mountains, there are many places, so they planted a crop of late beans and cucumbers, which will bear fruit quite well.The weather is also good these days, it doesn't look like it will be frosty, so I am not in a hurry to pick it down.Now, they have to be picked off, or they will rot in the ground even if there is no frost.

Jinghan and the others went for a walk in the morning, and they didn't need it in the afternoon. They were all helping to grab vegetables in the field.It's sunny today, maybe there will be frost in the evening, if the frost hits these vegetables, it will be useless.The eight children in the family, like ants, kept moving things to the house.

"Mom, do we have to pick these little eggplants too? They are delicious when stewed together with little potatoes." Jinghan saw that there were still little tender eggplants on the eggplant seedlings, and she was reluctant to throw them away, so she wanted to eat them all. pick up.

"Sure, if you are busy enough, you can pick them all. Let's pickle the bigger ones, and the smaller ones, as you said, you can eat them stewed." Xue didn't even look up, just busy picking beans.The bean racks were all lying on the ground, so it took a lot of effort to pick them up.When she picked them, all those tender beans were also picked, so it's good to keep the pickles.The farmer's family, when autumn comes, can't wait to take everything home and pickle it.Work a little more in autumn, and in winter and spring, there will be one more dish on the dinner table at home, and cooking is not difficult.

"Sister-in-law, look at Jinghan, she's really catching you. With such a girl, you really don't worry about it." Mrs. Zhu was picking cucumbers at the side, and when she heard the conversation between Mrs. Xue and her daughter, she couldn't help but said with a smile.

"You don't have to envy me. Your family's Jingwan and Jingxian are also good, and I think they are both quite capable. I think these two girls will be able to live in the future. Speaking of it, our family these days This girl, the Jing and Xiao of the fourth family, can't tell what's going on. Among the rest, my Jinghan is the wildest, and Jingya is too quiet, but your Jingwan and Jingxian are just fine, just in time. Almost." Xue said about the girls in the family, "Seeing the children grow up day by day, in a few years, Jingya will say goodbye. We don't know how many years we can stay on the mountain, If it's too old, I'm afraid it will have to delay these girls from saying goodbye." When a mother is, she will always worry about her children.

"Sister-in-law, it's because of us that we have caused trouble for our family." Mrs. Zhu felt sorry for her family when she thought that if Zhiming's accident had not happened, her family would not have come to this mountain to see ginseng.

Mrs. Xue didn't expect her words to remind Mrs. Zhu of this trouble, and hurriedly persuaded her, "Her third aunt, please don't be like this. No one in our family said anything. We are all a family. If there is something to do, it's up to everyone." Take it together. Okay, don't think about it, how long has it been? Isn't it good for us to come to the mountain? I think it's much better than being at home. "

The two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law were working and chatting. Some of the children were picking vegetables in the field, and some were delivering the picked vegetables home.Naturally, Mrs. Chen was not idle, and sorted the vegetables that the children sent home, looking for big baskets and stuffing them first.Even pickles take time, how can they be done all at once?Besides, we need to keep some food for now, the big and small ones have to be separated.

After a busy afternoon, the things in the vegetable field were basically finished. Jinghan straightened her waist, so tired.In the crop yard, one spring and one autumn are the most tiring.I saw it when I was walking in the morning, and the crops in the field were also blown by the wind.It seems that the crops have to be taken back in the past few days, or else there will be another rain, and the crops will be blind.

In the evening, Mrs. Chen made a pot of stewed beans with bacon, eggplant and small potatoes, and put some bacon in it.The children were also tired during the day, and the meal in the evening was delicious, and after a while, each of them filled their bellies. "Grandpa, grandma, let's not eat anymore, we are so full." Jinghan rubbed her belly and got off the table with a smile.Peasants don't know about health preservation and so on. It's good to have a full stomach, so they don't care about whether they can support themselves or not.Besides, I will go out for a walk in a while.

"Okay, go out for a walk when you're full. It's not dark at this time, you little ones go out first, and then let your father and the others go for a walk in the evening." Chen was afraid that the children would eat too much. Then go to bed and eat, so I deliberately let them go out for a walk.

Wen Han saw that everyone had finished eating, so he led them outside. "Slow down, I just finished eating, so don't hurry." Wen Han carried the dog food bucket, and he just happened to be able to feed all the dogs along the way.

At this time, the autumnal equinox has not yet arrived, but the day is not too long.In the middle of You Shi, the sky has gradually darkened, but it has not completely darkened yet, and the sight cannot be too far away, and the nearest and convenient places are no problem.The children walked along the stick to see if there was any problem.

When she walked to the northwest corner, Jinghan saw that a section of the stick seemed to be missing, revealing a big hole. "Brother, look over there, when we took a walk at noon, it didn't seem like this?" Jinghan's heart skipped a beat, could it be that someone came in?

Wen Han also saw it, and said in a low voice, "Big guy, prepare your belongings first. Whether it's a human or an animal, it seems that something has come in." Wen Han and Wen Cheng drew out the daggers tied to their legs.This was specially prepared by Zhixin for the two of them. There are too many variables in the mountains, and the children all have something to defend themselves. "Jingwan, you have taken the copper basin, and if you find something wrong in a while, you should knock it hard. Wenxuan, Wenchang, you two took the rhubarb back to report, and said that there seems to be something wrong here. We stay here It should be no problem to play Dahei." All four boys in the family came out, and the girls were Jinghan and Jingwan, Jingxian was too young, Jingya was too quiet, so the two of them didn't come out.

"Brother, be careful." Wen Xuan said, and then he and Wen Chang quietly walked back with rhubarb.This rhubarb is a big dog originally raised in the farm. Wen Han and the others love these dogs very much, and often feed them some delicious food.The dog is psychic, so he doesn't need Wenxuan to lead him, and just walks ahead.

Here, Jinghan asked Dahei to go to the big hole to smell it.In fact, Jinghan didn't have much hope. This dog is not a police dog. It doesn't have a sharp nose, and it hasn't been trained. I'm afraid it can't smell anything.Unexpectedly, Dahei sniffed there a few times, and then sniffed all the way into the ginseng ground.Seeing this, Jing Han was a little surprised, and nodded to Wen Han to signal everyone's attention.Then several people followed Dahei all the way, walked slowly to the south, and came to the frozen area.

In front of it happened to be on the heads of several pool skewers, and there were a few big tree roots, which were left there without being cleaned up.Dahei came to the side of the big tree root, and then yelled vigorously towards the middle.
