Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 53 Planning to Buy a House
Hearing Sanxi and his wife's words, Kikyo was furious, so he got off the kang and went back if he wanted to, but he thought that his aunt and uncle were good to him, and it would be too embarrassing for them to go away like this, so he continued to put down the mattress silently, lay there thinking about what he wanted How to do it.

The next morning, Jigeng and Qiao Yudi helped Mrs. Zhao cook together, chatting while working, "Gu, I won't be here tonight, so you don't have to wait for me."

Qiao Gendi was a little surprised, and said, "Why don't you come to live? It's still cold, and there is no place to live at home."

Kikyo said: "The sheep gave birth to cubs in the past two days, and I wanted to watch them at home last night. I came here because the milk said it couldn't be born."

Qiao Hedi didn't think about anything else, and complained: "Your father is the same, he can't guard it by himself, you are a child, can you handle it well?"

Kikyo bowed her head and said nothing, but Mrs. Zhao who was beside the pot couldn't help but look at her, wondering if this girl really left because she said it last night?But a little girl who has just turned seven years old, can she have such a heart?
After Qiao Hedi complained about Qiao Mandun, he said to Kikyo, "Okay, then I won't wait for you tonight. You will come back after the sheep give birth."

Kikyo smiled and said: "No need, the lamb will have to guard for many days to be strong, and the weather will be warmer then, so I can live at home no matter what, so I won't run back and forth, it's a lot of effort."

Although she said it casually, Qiao Hedi still sensed something was wrong, and said: "This spring boy, my God, it's so easy to get warm, and no one can stand it if you don't live on the kang! San'er, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" Are you sure you won’t come and stay?”

Kikyo quickly said: "It's nothing, I'm just lazy and don't want to go back and forth."

Qiao Gendi glanced at the daughter-in-law, full of suspicion, but it wasn't long before the daughter-in-law entered the door, she didn't want to show anything, so she could only keep her doubts in her heart, set the table and greeted Li Baotian and Li Sanxi to come out for dinner .

Kikyo still ate breakfast at Wugu's house. Before going out after dinner, she took a special look at the jar at the bottom of the wall, thinking that this "Land Lord" would soon fail, but there was no way, she I have to go, I am not a person who can look down on others, there is no need to do it to make people hate it.

She went out of five yards and didn't go home immediately, so she went to Yao Jinfang's house first.

When she came in, Widow Yao was squatting in front of the crock, brushing her teeth with dried willow leaves and crushed salt.

After getting along for a long time, Kikyo finds that Widow Yao is very interesting. She can hate you for no reason, or she can like you just because of your casual words, actions, or eyes, but no matter what kind of feeling, it won't last long. So in the eyes of others, she may feel moody, but in fact she has no intentions.

Since Jugend gave her two shovels, her attitude towards Jugend has changed. Although it was hot and cold, she no longer insisted on preventing her from meeting Yao Jinfang.

Seeing the platycodon come in, she grinned and spat salt and said: "Damn girl, don't seduce my family, Jin Fang, to accompany you to herd the sheep. Yesterday's shoes were soaked!"

Ji Jiao laughed and said, "Well, I'm not going to ask him out today, I just came here to tell him that my sheep are going to give birth, so we won't go out to release them."

As he spoke, he went into the room and saw Yao Jinfang sitting on the kang without shoes, as if he had been trained by her mother.But seeing her come in, Yao Jinfang's eyes lit up again, and asked in a low voice, "Jiangyou, your sheep didn't give birth last night? I want to go and have a look, I haven't seen a lamb yet."

Kikyo said: "What's so interesting about this, you can go if you want, I'm here to tell you that I won't be staying at my aunt's house in the future, so I won't be able to come here often."

Yao Jinfang asked puzzledly: "Why don't you stay at your aunt's house? It's still very cold!"

Ji Jiao was afraid that widow Yao would spread the truth if she told the story, so she had to say, "I will take care of the little lamb in the future, so it's not convenient to live in my aunt's house."

"Oh." Yao Jin believed it conveniently.

After the two exchanged a few words, Jugeng came back home. After brushing her teeth, Widow Yao wanted to pound out the rice for dinner, and when she went to scoop the rice by the side of the jar, she muttered strangely: "It is said that the Li family has a gift from the land master." Millet, why does our family seem to be able to eat the millet..."

Yao Jinfang curled his lips quietly in the room. Of course he knew how Qiao Hedi's family got the millet, and his own millet was also given by Platycodon grandiflorum. Mother hasn't bought grain for several months, yet she still doesn't know.

Jijie's sheep failed to give birth during the day, so at night she used the excuse of looking after the ewes and squeezed into the kang at home to sleep. Unable to turn over, the pregnant Fang was so crowded that she couldn't sleep. She sat up and looked at the bellflower at the end of the kang. She thought for a long time, but for the sake of her sheep, she still resisted driving the bellflower away.

The ewes did not give birth until almost dawn, and because it was the first litter, only one was born.

On a very cold day, the lamb was born very weak, unable to stand up for a long time, and kept shivering in the house, so platycodon and fennel were burned on the stove to keep it warm.

Qiao Mantun was afraid that they would not take good care of them, so he got up and watched.Kikyo said to him by the way: "Father, this lamb is thin and small. If I don't take good care of it, I'm afraid it won't survive. Why don't I live at home in the future, and I can watch it at night."

Qiao Mantun didn't think too much, and agreed casually: "Well, then come back and live."

The Fang family in the house heard the cry: "Why come back, there is no place for you to live at home!"

Ji Jiao replied angrily: "No one else can take good care of the lamb except me, if mother is not afraid that your lamb will freeze to death, I will continue to live in my aunt's house!"

Fang stopped talking.

Qiao Mantun squatted by the fireside without making a sound for a long time, and after a while he muttered: "Oh, it's not a solution if the house is always so crowded. If the old Zhang's family in the east courtyard wants to move out, why don't we buy his house here, two people?" The yard is always enough."

Fang's choking on the platycodon grandiflora was so angry that he heard his words and shouted like a cannonball: "What to buy, what to buy a house with! The few pennies you earn are not even enough to farm the land. The house is no longer farmed!"

Qiao Mandun fell silent again.

After hearing this, Kikyo was thinking, the Zhang family is selling a house?It's really good to buy. It would be great if I could move out with my sisters and grandmothers and live away from Fang's dominatrix...

So she secretly kept this matter in her heart.

After she went home to live, Mrs. Fang complained a lot, as if she had an extra platycodon, squeezing her so much that she couldn't even give birth to a child.

She doesn't like Jikyo, and Jikyo doesn't like her even more, wishing to stay away from her.

After feeding the sheep that day, Jugeng walked into the yard of the Zhang family in the east courtyard. When she entered, she saw Aunt Zhang shaking off the sheets. She asked, "Aunt Zhang, is your family really leaving?"

Aunt Zhang looked up, and said with a smile: "Yes, my elder brother Huai went to the town to work as a butcher, and asked us to take care of his children. When he is ready, we will leave gone."

"Oh, has your house been sold?"

"No, we want to sell the house and the land together, but the people who want to buy it pay too little, and your Uncle Zhang doesn't agree to sell it."
