Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 9

Villagers generally do not eat breakfast. In order to save food, they basically have two meals a day. In the entire Li family village, only the old man Li's family is special.

When Li was a child, his family was in good condition, and he had to eat three meals a day. Even when life got tough later, this habit was still maintained.

After all, I have been eating like this for more than ten years, and I have become accustomed to it. If I don’t eat at some point, I will naturally feel hungry and lack energy.

When the aunts and aunts in the village saw smoke coming from the chimneys of their house early in the morning, they couldn't help but mutter a few words about poverty.

Besides, the work of cooking was originally performed by three people, Song, Liu, and Zhang, taking turns, one person a day.

But Mrs. Li thinks Mrs. Zhang is sloppy and careless, so she doesn't want her to cook. She just feeds pigs, chickens and removes manure every day, so Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liu take turns cooking.

Li Mingyue's illness is almost healed, but the bruises on her body have not completely disappeared, she is too embarrassed to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. She used to be a hardworking and capable girl.

Gently taking away Xiu'er's little arm that was on her body, Li Mingyue felt the darkness and began to put on her clothes.

Mrs. Liu was already dressed, and when she turned around to pick up her things, she noticed that she had also got up.

He hurriedly whispered: "Yue'er, what are you doing when you get up? You are still sick. Your sister and I are enough. Lie back and sleep for a while. Mother will call you after breakfast."

"Mother, it's okay, I've been lying on the bed all day, my waist is sore, I don't dare to snooze any more.

I'll go with you and help you and my sister. "

While talking, Li Mingyue quickly put on her clothes, shoes and socks and got off the kang.

Mrs. Liu wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Li Shou at the other end of the room turned over, and the wooden bed creaked.

Afraid of waking everyone up by saying a few more words, Liu fell silent, turned around and turned over a half-worn jacket for Li Mingyue to put on.

Then the three of them gently pushed the door open a crack, got out one after the other, and closed the door gently.

Li Shou's family lived in this small thatched hut of less than [-] square meters. Mrs. Liu took several girls and the youngest son to sleep on the big kang, and Li Shou took the eldest son to sleep on the wooden bed built on the other side. A curtain was hung in the middle.

Li Mingyue was surprised for a while, in such a living environment, how did this young couple have children one after another.

When Li Mingyue passed the door, she didn't dare to look in the direction of the corner of the room. Although she had been wearing it for a few days, and even though they were her father and brother, she still had psychological barriers to sleeping in the same room with a strange man. Can try to adapt slowly.

The backyard of the Li family is very large, with chicken coops, pigpens, and vegetable plots.

Now at the beginning of October, everything is bleak and there are fewer varieties of vegetables.

Only some radishes, beans, eggplants, and Chinese cabbage were planted in the vegetable field, but they all grew very gratifyingly.

After passing through a large vegetable field, we arrived at the front yard.

There are five large tile-roofed houses connected to the front yard, two in the east and two in the east, and the middle room is used as a kitchen, which is slightly smaller.

This design is mainly convenient for heating the kang in winter. When the rice is ready, the kang will be heated, which can save a lot of firewood.Then when the kang is not used in summer, another independent kitchen is used.

The kang in Li Mingyue's small hut is not so convenient. In winter, the family has to go up the mountain to collect firewood and come back to burn the kang, otherwise they have to sleep on the kang at night.

There was a brass lock on the kitchen door.

In the late autumn weather, sooner or later it started to get cold. Li Mingyue held Li Minglan's arm and stood there, stomping her feet from the cold.

Just waiting for Mrs. Liu to open the door so that she could go in and get warm, unexpectedly Mrs. Liu made a detour and went around to the door of the main house where old man Li and his wife lived.

She knocked on the door lightly, and whispered: "Mother, please get up and open the kitchen door, my daughter-in-law is ready to make breakfast."
