Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 36 Sweet Potato Seedling Transplantation
"Yes." She put the two children down, wiped their foreheads with her hands, and turned around to let the two servants of Qin's Village put the pockets in the house, and then put the little piglet she had caught back temporarily. In the chicken coop, the two were sent back.

After the two left, she returned to the house, put the bag in her hand on the table, opened it, and took out the food inside. The two children immediately cried out happily.

"Xue'er, what did you cook?" Tian Liusu knew that the meal was ready when she saw that Xue Ling's forehead was blackened by the firewood.

"Noodles mixed with daylilies and corn porridge, do you want to eat it now?" Xue Ling has also learned a few of these home-cooked meals recently, and they are ready to cook. Tian Liusu then bought another large bag of white flour mixed with wild vegetables sorghum and corn, so he no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

"Well, serve some porridge. Tonight we will also serve meat. Save the gnocchi for tomorrow morning." Tian Liusu said, taking out the roast duck, chestnut flour cake, rose cake, etc. she bought from the capital and placed them on the table.

"Ma'am, you have bought so many things, is it possible that you will run out of money selling Poria cocos paste?"

Xue Ling saw that Tian tassels had set up a table full of meat, vegetables and cakes, and the corn paste porridge she made would be a feast, and she suddenly thought that she probably spent all the money she sold for Poria cocos jelly about there.

"Don't worry, how can I spend it so quickly? Besides, I can earn money after I spend it. I have many ways to earn money. Now the conditions are immature, and I haven't used them one by one. And yesterday I got a blessing in disguise, and someone else compensated me a lot." Ingots of gold, the first time you go to the city, you should always buy something."

After she finished speaking, she told Xue Ling and her two children about what happened on the streets of the capital yesterday, and took out the ingot of gold for several people to watch.

"Ah, it's so risky, what if people don't pay compensation? They have so many soldiers and horses." Xue Lingguang felt extremely thrilling when she heard her talk, and her mood also fluctuated with her.

Tian Liusu smiled: "Look what scares you, in broad daylight, in the bustling city, even if you are a prince and aristocrat, how dare you ignore human life? I just predicted that he would not kill people on the street, so I dared to demand compensation from him."

The two said that An'an and Lele also washed their hands and came in. When the two children saw the table full of food, their eyes widened immediately, staring at the table eagerly.

"Hurry up and eat, Mother bought you a lot of delicious food today." Tian Liusu smiled, carried the two children onto the kang, and they started eating.

"Mother, you can eat too." Seeing that Tian Liusu only drank porridge and ate two pieces of pastries, the roast duck didn't even move a chopstick, so she picked up a piece of meat for her to eat.

"An An, good boy, you and your brother can eat vigorously, so let's satisfy our cravings today."

"Aunt Xue also eats." Lele saw that An An picked up meat for Tian Liusu, and when he rolled his eyes, he also picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xue Ling's bowl.

"Baby Lele, you're really my aunt's sweetheart." Seeing Lele's dark pupils and crooked brows, Xue Ling couldn't help but pull him over and give him a "baji" kiss.

After eating, Tian Liusu asked the two children to practice the characters he had taught them, then took out the felt that he bought in the capital today, and told Xue Ling to wrap it with the few pieces of linen cloth and lock it on the side, and spread it on the kang. They also took out the fine camel hair and silk satin they called themselves, and the two discussed how to sew a quilt.

Tian Liusu is not very good at sewing, and Xue Ling fully demonstrated her strengths in this area. She first measured the size and pulled a piece of linen that was big enough for Tian Liusu and two children to cover, and then tore the fine camel hair into pieces. A piece of large pie is spread on the cloth layer by layer, and then the cloth is sewn on all sides, and finally a layer of smooth satin is sewn on it.

At first, Tian Liusu just helped her, but gradually the stitches became finer and more neat. The two of them worked together in the middle of the night, and finally finished sewing two new quilts.

When Tian Liusu bought it, she bought enough, and was going to use the leftover silk and camel hair to make thick winter clothes for several people after sewing the quilt. Xue Ling planned that the remaining materials were just enough to make cotton coats and cotton shoes.

The two children had a big meal tonight, and saw Tian Liusu sewing the quilt and practicing calligraphy on the kang table. Tian Liusu urged them to go to bed first, and both of them were very excited to wait for her and Xue Ling to sew. It's best to sleep with a quilt.

Tian Liusu understands the feelings of the two children, just like when she was a child, whenever she saw other people's children wearing new clothes and having new toys, she wished that she could have those for herself. Although the organization has a lot of money, it no longer has the same mood as before.

Tian Liusu shook the quilt. Seeing that the new quilt was finally finished, the two children hugged the quilt happily and rolled around on it. The camel's hair was thin and light, and the outer surface was made of satin, which was warm and smooth on the body. Compete with modern duvets.

The kang is covered with felt wrapped in cloth. The felt has the function of heat storage. On top of the felt is the animal skin quilt and animal skin mattress bought by Tian Liusu. It is soft and warm to sleep on. It is late at night Tian Liusu told Xue Ling to turn off the lights, and fell asleep with her two children in her arms.

After breakfast the next morning, Tian Liusu asked the two children to get up and practice the basic skills. She has already started teaching them simple moves, but the basic skills are the homework that must be done every day. Tian Liusu was secretly happy when he saw the amazing talent.

She and Xue Ling weaved a fence with wicker to divide the sheepfold into two, and fed the sheep and pigs at the same time. They went to the town and bought an iron trough from the blacksmith shop as a trough. Pig troughs are used to feed pigs.

The original three chickens plus the ten bought back this time made a total of thirteen. Tian Liusu expanded the chicken coop again. After feeding them for a few days, the chickens became familiar and opened the chicken coop during the day. When the cage is released, they will go back by themselves at night.

In the midst of being busy, the sweet potatoes planted by Tian Liusu finally sprouted again. This time, in order to prevent someone from destroying them, Tian Liusu specially asked Qin Baozhu to send several servants from the Qin Family Village to wait in turn. After the planting is successful, the seedlings will be distributed to them, so several villagers spontaneously watch over the sprouts, and they are more concerned about these seedlings than she is.

In the eager anticipation of Tian Liusu and the villagers, the sweet potato sprouts finally grew to about [-] centimeters.

On this day, Sister-in-law Song and the village chiefs from Gui's family, Tie Dan's family, Erbao's family, Song Xi, etc. all came to help Tian Liusu transplant sweet potato seedlings, and Qin Baozhu also brought several servants to help.

In Tianshui Village, apart from Qinjiazhuang having a cow, the village chief and Changgui have cattle. Everyone in the village borrows the village chief’s cattle to plow the land. When Qin Baozhu heard that the cattle were going to be used to plow the land, he naturally ordered his servants to go back without saying a word. Pulling oxen, but Qin Baozhu's village does not have a plow.

Qin Baozhu personally went to the village head's house to borrow a plow. The village head didn't want to lend Tian Liusu, but he didn't dare to refute Qin Baozhu's face, so he had to lend him the plow.
