Nongmen Tianshi: The vitality girl comes to farm

Chapter 22
Of course, they didn't have many houses in the first place. Apart from the main room and main room of their parents, there were only two rooms in the East Wing, one for the three sisters and one for the younger brother.There are also two houses in the west wing, but a miscellaneous house and a granary.

The yard is quite big, and there used to be a few crops of vegetables, but after Ji Yuan's illness, it gradually fell into disuse.However, adobe brick walls cannot be built, and wooden piles and bamboo fences are used.

The houses are just adobe walls and thatched roofs.Such a house is not considered the most shabby in the village, but since the death of his father, the family has gradually become impoverished.

Now everyone doesn't say which family is the poorest, they just know it in their hearts.

Ji Qingyan waited for the two younger sisters to finish washing, then brought the water back to the house, took a hot bath, wiped the wet hair, took out the water and poured it out, and then walked in the yard while wiping their hair, waiting Brother Yunlin sent back a message.

However, seeing Ji Qinglei squatting in the corner of the courtyard and not knowing what he was messing with, she walked over curiously, and saw him digging a hole in the mud with a branch, and was immediately embarrassed.

"Qing Lei, why are you digging these potholes?" After a quick count, there were three or four of them. Each hole was about the size of a teacup, and the depth of the bottom of the hole could not be seen clearly under the starlight.

But looking at the dirt on his branches, he can roughly guess it.

"Brother Yunlin taught me that there is no need to dig the whole field without a hoe. It is enough to dig such a big hole. I will put some dry fertilizer in it tomorrow."

"In a few days, I'll ask Brother Yunlin to get some wax gourd seedlings. Although it's a bit late, as long as you apply more fertilizer, it may grow. There are also pumpkins."

Ji Qinglei said while digging a hole vigorously.Isn't it very convenient to grow wax gourds and pumpkins in the yard? I grew them at home when I was a child, but somehow they disappeared.

But it doesn't matter, he will plant in the future, and he has to learn to grow a lot of vegetables and a lot of grain.

"..." Ji Qingyan was speechless for a while, but she understood her younger brother's enthusiasm, and after thinking about it, she suggested, "Qing Lei, it's getting late now, you might as well sleep well."

"When I make dinner tomorrow, you go to the Wang's next door to borrow two hoes, and you and Brother Yunlin dig out all the ground in the yard. In the future, we will not only grow winter melons and pumpkins, but we will also grow peppers, eggplants, and leeks... ..."

Ji Qingyan thought for a while, and then added: "I still need to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, loofah... I have to re-search all the land, and it's not worthwhile for you to dig holes like this."

As soon as Ji Qinglei heard that it made sense, he thought about it and nodded: "Okay, the eldest sister is right, we will plant a lot of vegetables in the future, and these few holes alone will not waste the whole land."

Seeing that her younger brother listened to the persuasion, Ji Qingyan was relieved and said: "Then hurry up and fetch water to take a bath. I walked a lot of plowing today, and my shoulders and hands hurt too?"

"It's okay." Ji Qinglei hurriedly got up to leave.Ji Qingyan raised her eyebrows fiercely, then stretched out her hand to hold him, and when she took a look at him, she was shocked.

The small palm should have thin skin and tender flesh, but fine calluses were formed on the palm. The place where the blisters broke before the skin has not yet grown well, now the tender red flesh is exposed.

"What a fool, tell me if it hurts." Ji Qingyan patted her younger brother's head distressedly, her nose was a little sour.

After all, she is a big girl, and she has the hardworking history of the host, and her hands are already rough, so she has lost the hard work of the flesh.But Ji Qinglei is different, he is only eight years old.

"It doesn't hurt. Brother Yunlin said that when it hurts, it will be better if you soak it in cold water, and it will be fine if you callus." Ji Qinglei shook his head and showed a very manly smile.

"Then soak in cold water first." Although Ji Qingyan felt distressed, she didn't feel that the world had collapsed.After all, she has also experienced hard training in her family since she was a child. Such blisters, broken skin, and calluses are no strangers to her.

She took her brother's hand and went to the kitchen to soak his hands in cold water. With the faint light of the oil lamp, she first carefully cleaned his wound.

"My brother is worthy of being a brave man!" Ji Qingyan couldn't bear it, so she boasted, which immediately made Ji Qinglei happy, and felt that her hand didn't hurt so much.

"Okay, you go back to the house first to find a change of clothes, I'll fetch water for you and take a quick shower, you're all dirty." Ji Qingyan said with a smile.Ji Qinglei responded and left immediately.

Ji Qingyan poured cold water, took a bucket to fetch hot water and mixed it with cold water, then carried it over.Although her shoulders were already swollen and painful, she had already applied ointment when she took a bath, and her condition was much better than that of her brother.

"Sister, I'm going to take off my clothes!"

"Sister, I'm going to take off my pants!"

"Sister, can't you go out?"

Ji Qinglei looked at the elder sister who was still stuck in his room shyly with his pants up, and reminded him patiently.

"Haven't I bathed you before? You're ashamed of me now." Ji Qingyan glared at him deliberately and angrily.There are probably these impressions in the vague memory.

"... But, but I can wash it now." Ji Qinglei was embarrassed by the elder sister, blushed immediately, and stuttered.

"You wash it yourself, I'm just washing your hair for you." Ji Qingyan explained funnyly, fearing that the water would turn cold if there was any further misunderstanding.

"Then I'll take a shower first, and then I'll wash my hair. I can wash it outside the house." Ji Qinglei said immediately.

"Okay." Ji Qingyan curled her lips and had to go out.She is really...unwelcome as a big sister.Well, she admitted that he was already an eight-year-old man with a sense of face.

Outside the house, Ji Qinghua and Ji Qinghe were already squatting by the tub, washing the dirty clothes they just changed.

Now it's just the four of them. In order to make the most of their time, Ji Qingyan taught her younger sisters to wash and dry their clothes after taking a bath at night. As long as it doesn't rain, they can put them away before going out the next day.

For those who don't have many clothes to change, it's better to wash them early and put them away safely. If something happens, they won't even have anything to change.

As for water, under her guidance, it doesn't actually take much.Even without the help of Uncle Wang to carry the water, she still has her own way.

It didn't take long for Ji Qinglei to wash his hair. Ji Qingyan poured out the water, fetched water again and asked him to squat under the eaves to wash his hair.

For the convenience of cleaning, she had already brought them all to cut their hair short, and only tied a ponytail with a white cloth belt representing the meaning of "wearing filial piety". There is no bun, which is convenient and simple.

After washing his hair and drying the water, he combed him smooth, and then applied medicine to him under the starlight in the yard.

"Sister, where did you get the medicine? It's much cooler and more comfortable when you put it on." Ji Qinglei stared at the colorless but fragrant ointment on his finger with a look of surprise.

"I don't know, I found it in my parents' house." Ji Qingyan fooled me casually.In fact, she carried it in her treasure bag.

I didn't expect that when I crossed over, the treasure bag followed me, but the weapons and equipment were all gone, and there were only some ordinary medicines, talisman papers and some small items left...
