The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 123

After the potato chips were ready, Ruhua hurriedly washed the pot again, and even bathed Xiaobao in hot water!After finishing these, the family happily gathered around the small table in the kitchen to eat.

The days are lived with gusto.This afternoon, Xiaobao didn't know that he had been guarding outside the rabbit's nest for many days, and finally saw the big female rabbit leaving the nest with the open-eyed little rabbit.At that moment, Ruhua was sitting under the window sill, picking up the soles of her shoes.

The work on the soles is much more difficult than sewing and embroidery. The key is that the soles should be thick and comfortable to wear, but Ruhua doesn't have the strength. She always feels that the little needle There is no ability to pass through thick insoles, so when Ruhua puts on the soles, it is extremely slow and has not had much effect.

It was all because of the insole issue, and when Xiaobao yelled outside that the little rabbit had come out of the nest, Ruhua dropped the things in her hand in a hurry, and went out to see the little rabbit.

The little rabbit snuggled up next to the big rabbit, and the fur that had just grown looked shiny and bright, and it was particularly silky to the touch.Seeing his mother stroking the little rabbit, Xiaobao longed to pounce on the little rabbit and play with it in his hands.

"Mother, Xiaobao wants to touch, and Xiaobao wants to touch." Xiaobao shook his flowery clothes.

"Remember, move gently, don't scare the little rabbit!" Ruhua gently lifted the rabbit up with her hands, and held it in front of Xiaobao.

Xiaobao stretched out his finger and fumbled it lightly, but the little rabbit was not afraid of people and rubbed it a few times on the little finger.Xiaobao was delighted to see the little rabbit's actions, and grinned, "Mother, look, the little rabbit is not afraid of people!"

Ruhua also thought the little rabbit was cute, so she held it and looked at it carefully for a while.

I don’t know what’s the reason for the leaves or what’s going on. The water coming down from the mountain is not enough these days. Sanlang just went out to see the water in the back mountain. Now when he entered the house, he saw the mother and son in the rabbit shed Squatting, "What are you doing? Are you both squatting there?"

"The little rabbit has opened its eyes." Xiao Bao yelled loudly when he turned around.Ruhua also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Sanlang wiped the sweat off his face with one hand, and walked to the rabbit shed with a few strides, and saw that all the rabbits had come out of their nests, and they all opened their eyes.

When Ruhua saw Sanlang's sweat, she put down the rabbit and fetched a basin of cold water for Sanlang, "Did you look carefully? But something is blocked, the water at home is not enough for this time."

Sanlang touched the water with both hands, rubbed it on his face a few times, and then raised his head and said, "Yeah! I found it, I don't know what happened, a section of water was blocked by stones, and it flowed outside Therefore, there is much less water going down the mountain.”

"Cleaned up?" Ruhua handed over a dry handkerchief.

"Well! It's all done, just don't use water for a while, wait for someone to clear it before using it. Right now, I'm afraid it's still muddy!" After drying the water on his face, he wiped his hands again, and finally put the handkerchief on his face. Handed it to Ruhua.

When she got to the water, Ruhua put the wooden basin, came out and saw that guy Sanlang and Xiaobao were playing with the little rabbit in front of the rabbit shed, and then went over to discuss the plan she had made a long time ago.

"Sanlang, how long do you think the wild boars at home will be kept? Now each one weighs more than 200 catties?"

"Tell me about it too! I think it will take some time to raise it, after all, the wild boar is quite able to grow."

"But it's already July. If I have to recuperate for a while, I'm afraid that when autumn comes, all the work will be put together, and it will be too late."

What Ruhua said was also true. In autumn, pig offal was sold and the house was repaired. Even the rice at home was harvested at that time.It will be really busy at that time.

Saburo carefully pondered Ruhua's words, frowned, and finally relaxed, sighed and said, "Why don't we find a time to kill one and sell it first? Now that the weather is hot, we will kill it all at once." I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell a few heads, and it may be damaged if they are not sold out."

"Well! This is also the reason. By the way, are you busy these days? If not, we will find time to kill one first." Ruhua really felt ashamed when she asked this question, after all, The work in the village has always been done by Saburo alone!
But what Ruhua thinks is that when she finds the money in the future, she can do less work in the field, so that Saburo can relax appropriately.

"There's nothing to do in the field right now, why don't we slaughter the strongest wild boar in the house first at some time tomorrow?" This time is easy, don't be very tired!
"Well! That's it. But, what do we need to prepare for killing wild boars? Shall we prepare first?"

And Xiaobao heard that the wild boar was going to be killed, and the child felt that he wanted to eat meat again, so he was naturally happy, and in the past, pigs were only killed during the Chinese New Year. When he thought of this, he ran out to show off to the children up.The two adults didn't care about him, and let him go. It's good for children to be lively.

"Let's dig a hole in the yard first! It's better to install a pot in the yard then, so it will be easier to shed wild boars." In the past, hunting prey was boiled in the kitchen before taking it out. But now they want to slaughter a few, so it is more convenient to dig a hole in the yard.

After listening to Sanlang's words, Ruhua glanced at the yard a few times, thinking that it would be enough to dig a hole near the fence, so she did it as soon as she said it, and quickly brought a hoe and a dustpan, ready to start digging the hole.Naturally, she wasn't going to do this digging job, she was just doing odd jobs to help.

Saburo took the hoe and began to dig the hole, and the soil he dug out was dumped on the vegetable patch in the yard.After a while, there was a round pit with a depth of about half a meter. In order to put firewood in the stove, a gap was specially dug out.After the pit was dug, Saburo was afraid that the soil would loosen, so he tapped carefully around the pit with the bottom of the hoe.

In this way, the hole was finally dug.
