Chapter 27, Farming without a Hoe

Shu Xin smiled, "The rabbit seems to be a female rabbit. I think it has a bulging stomach. It may have little rabbits, so I don't plan to sell it!"

Women also understand.

After all, it is really difficult for Shu Xin's family now, and it is good to have some living things to keep for making money.

They each took the fish and went home.

Shu Xin asked Caihua to go back first with the rabbit in her arms.

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I'll give a bunch of this fish to the village head and the patriarch's family!"

Cauliflower wanted to say something, but finally nodded, and obediently carried the rabbit home.

When Shu Xin arrived at the village head's house, Yuan Shi took Shu Youren to see Shu Youqin. The eldest daughter-in-law Niu Shi was at home, and when she learned that Shu Xin had come to deliver the fish, she happily accepted it, and watched Shu Xin go to the patriarch's house.

"What a caring child!"

When Shu Xin came to the patriarch's house, he learned that the patriarch was ill.

He delivered the fish, said a few words, and went home with the sling on his back.

At home, Douhua is very happy because there is a gray rabbit at home.

Mrs. Liu also touched the rabbit's belly, feeling hard and slippery, "It should be pregnant with a baby rabbit, let's raise it first, maybe in a few days, a baby rabbit will be born!"

"Mother, will there be many babies?" Dou Hua asked curiously.

"Well, there will be more and more!" Liu Shi said, reaching out to touch Douhua's head.

Dou Hua dodged, "Mom, the eldest sister said you have to wash your hands, you wait, I'll fetch water for you to wash your hands!"

Liu Shi paused, but laughed.

Her eldest daughter, who used to be assertive, is even more capable now, teaching her younger sisters very well.

When the bean curd came in, Liu thought it was the same as before, cold, but she didn't want to put her hand in it but it was warm.

"Eldest sister said, mother is in confinement now, wash hands with hot water, drink hot water, don't touch cold things!"

Liu's eyes turned red immediately.

After washing his hands well and drying them, he touched Douhua's head, "Douhua is so good!"

Dou Hua narrowed her eyes with a smile, and left the room with the wooden basin.

Mrs. Liu hurried to the door, "Douhua, where are your second and third sisters?"

"The second sister and the third sister are going to pull honeysuckle vines, and they will be back to cook in a while, mother, are you hungry?"

"No, mother is just asking!"

The children are well-behaved and sensible, and they are busy trying to make money. She also has to take good care of her body and take care of her body earlier. Among other things, she can take care of the house and wash their clothes. The meal is ready, and there is something hot to eat when I get home.

Cauliflower and green onion pulled a lot of honeysuckle vines.

The honeysuckle has not yet bloomed, and the flowers are very small, but Dr. Luo said yesterday that this is the first one, so I decided to get some cauliflower and go home and pick it slowly.

The leaves and stems are also chopped and dried, and they can be used to boil water in summer to cool off the heat.

Shu Xin returned home and learned that the two were looking for honeysuckle flowers. He took a deep breath, washed his face and hands, changed his clothes and went to see his younger brother and younger sister. He saw that they were doing well and full of energy.

Wash the pot and cook.

Shu Xin cooked some rice, steamed steamed buns, and then stewed the fish with tofu.

Ready to fry some horse head orchids.

Looking at the small bare fields at the door, Shu Xin thought that when he went out to deliver herbs later, he would have to buy some rapeseed and scatter them on, and he would have vegetables to eat in about a month.

I don't know if there are any melon seedlings to buy in the village. It would be even better if someone could give her a few plants.

When cauliflower and scallion came back with honeysuckle on their backs, Shu Xin had already cooked the meal, "Cauliflower and scallion, you are back, wash them quickly and we can eat!"

"Ugh!"

A bunch of honeysuckle flowers with small buds, Shu Xin took a look and smiled.

One bowl of rice per person, one steamed bun, one big pot of fish soup, one pot of fried horse head orchids, the whole family sat together and ate happily.

After dinner, Scallion washed the dishes at home, while Shu Xin and Caihua went to Dr. Luo's house with calamus on their backs.

Dr. Luo was not at home today, and Aunt Luo gave 35 Wen.

Shu Xin took the money and said that he could deliver it once before dinner, Aunt Luo smiled, "Yes!"

Although the calamus is not worth much, the Shu Xin sisters sent it clean, and the bundles can be cut and dried without tidying up. After drying, the price will be slightly better if you take it to the town.

Not only can I earn back the money given to the Shu Xin sisters, but I can also earn more. As for how much, Aunt Luo doesn't know.

But you won't let yourself suffer.

Shu Xin and Caihua didn't go directly home, but went to the mountains to pull a lot of honeysuckle vines and took them home.

"Cauliflower, you and Douhua will pick off all the flowers, while Caihua and I will cut calamus!"

Onion nods.

Mother is in confinement, Douhua is too young, and there are two younger siblings, so someone must be at home.

Shu Xin gave the money to Mrs. Liu, "Mother, Mrs. Luo gave me an extra five cents today!"

Liu accepted the money with a smile, "Be careful when you go into the creek, don't go where the water is deep!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin responded, and took the cauliflower to cut calamus.

Because there was no need to catch fish, both backs were quickly cut, and they went directly to Dr. Luo's house with their backs.

It is still 35 essays.

"Sister, shall we still pull the honeysuckle vines?"

"No, let's go to the shop at the entrance of the village to see if there are rapeseeds and seedlings for sale. We have to grow some vegetables. If we can buy two chickens and raise them, when the chickens grow up, they will lay eggs, and younger brothers and sisters can eat them too. Things, it would be better to have eggs every day!"

Cauliflower nods.

He pursed his lips and smiled.

The two went to the small shop in Luojia Village and explained their intentions.

"Want to buy rapeseed and melon seedlings?"

"Hmm!" Who would sell these rapeseeds and melon seedlings except in towns and villages?All left over from last year.

The old man who sold things in the shop looked at the two sisters.

Looking at the straps on their faces, the straps on their backs, the patched clothes, and the smell of calamus on their bodies, one can guess their identities.

"I don't have anything to sell in this shop. If you want it, I'll go to Weiwei, my old lady. Do you have the rapeseed and melon seedlings from last year?"

"Thank you, sir!" Shu Xin quickly thanked.

Laugh very happily.

Cauliflower pursed her lips, not understanding why her eldest sister was so happy.

But being able to get rapeseed and melon seedlings without spending money is indeed something to be happy about.

The old man came back soon, holding something in his hand, "You two sisters are lucky, now, here are rapeseeds, these are melon seedlings, you can take them back and plant them!"

"Thank you, sir!" Shu Xin thanked him sincerely.

The old man smiled, "The old man's surname is Luo, everyone in the village calls me old man Luo!"

"Uncle Luo, let's go home first!" Shu Xin called out sweetly.

Uncle Luo nodded.

Looking at the two sisters who left, he smiled, "He's a sensible one!"

As for what Shu Amu did in Shujia Village, since he runs a small shop, he naturally knows something about it.

Shaking his head again, looking at the sky, he said in contempt, "There will be retribution!"

Shu Xin and Caihua returned home happily. They wanted to turn over the ground and scatter the rapeseed, but they found that there was no hoe in the house, not even a single one.

Shu Xin suddenly had the feeling that a smart woman can't cook without rice.

But at this time, I can only borrow it with the cheek.

Who should I borrow it from?

 There is a reward for leaving a message
