The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 55

Sitting on the small bench, Chu Ying looked at the crooked earth wall that she had built, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Building a wall is indeed a skill, and it cannot be learned overnight. Chu Ying hammered her sore waist , I'm really tired, and now I can't get up even if I let myself move some more bricks.

Chu Ying looked at the unwashed dishes in the kitchen and sat down on the ground. This was definitely the last straw that broke the camel's back.Chu Ying got up slowly, cooked the rice, then picked up the shovel and walked back to the earth wall, and then gently shoveled down the earth bricks, every time she shoveled, she burst into tears.

This is the third time Chu Ying has failed, but it is much better than the first time, just like Edison making a bench, Chu Ying is gradually doing better, but compared to other people's earthen walls, it is far worse up.

Chu Ying tilted her head back and pulled her waist back after working for a long time. She couldn't be bent over at a young age, so how would she find her husband in the future.After shoveling down the three-story earthen wall, Chu Ying arranged all the usable earthen bricks, and then went to the grove to see her prey.

These traps can catch a rabbit in a few days. Last time, I caught a pheasant. I thought I could raise it, but the hen at home was aggressive towards this guy who was vying for favor. There is no way, after all, the hen at home has lived with him for so long, and he cannot abandon his wife.

The tail of the pheasant is extremely gorgeous. Chu Ying collected the feathers from the tail of the pheasant. When the time comes, it can be used to make a chicken feather shuttlecock.Chu Ying raised all the small animals that could be raised, and there were already 5 rabbits in the shed where the rabbits were kept.

Chu Ying also made a round fence to make it easier to clean up the poop of the rabbits. She also reinforced the shed above and added more straw to prevent the rabbits from getting wet. When there are more rabbits, Chu Ying We need to build a house, otherwise it would be pitiful to see them huddled together on a rainy day.

But maybe rabbits don’t think so. Rabbits have a strong reproductive ability. They can give birth to 2-6 babies in one litter, and they can give birth to little rabbits every month. But for the sake of rabbits, it’s better not to kill chickens for softness, or to give birth 6 times a year. .

This time, they caught 2 more rabbits, but one of them had a big belly, probably pregnant, so Chu Ying hugged the pregnant rabbit. Spring is the time when all things recover and animals mate.

Chu Ying cut the weeds on the ground and fed them to the rabbits. In fact, she didn’t really want to raise rabbits, but these rabbits could turn the grass into protein. Protein was what she wanted very much, and those grasses would rot if they were not used to feed the rabbits. Use as fertilizer in the ground.

Chu Ying reinforced the rabbit nest and looked at the pool next to it, which was almost full. Perhaps something should be put in it for them to support themselves, but their money is limited, so they have to save it for medical treatment. I don’t know where there is free one. fry.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Ying took the wooden barrel and tub at home and went to ask Brother Wang to borrow a wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow cost 4 renminbi a piece, and the extra cost was spent on the wheels, which were reinforced with iron plates. The rope is like a wheel.The process of making wheels is still very cumbersome.

"What's the matter? Are you going to catch fish? You can't swim, your mother won't let you go to the lake."

"I'm just going to dig the mud, dig some mud from the river." Chu Ying watched Big Brother Wang push out the wheelbarrow. This wheelbarrow is relatively cheap and entry-level among the cars here. When she has money, she must buy one. At that time, there will also be car owners.

"What is dredging for?"

"See if there are fish eggs in it. Some fish give birth in the mud in spring, and there is nothing in my pond. It would be good to put some mud from the river." Wang Naiyuan has heard of this kind of lake mud to raise fish. Yes, but the number of fish eggs inside varies, and the survival rate is not very high.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you, you can't push it." Hearing what Wang Naiyuan said, Chu Ying put the basin and barrel away and pushed away. "Don't underestimate me."

"Looks like I underestimated you. I'll push it when I get back. Now you push it, don't bend it. Be careful, be careful." Chu Ying fell into the mud as soon as Wang Naiyuan finished speaking.

As the name suggests, the unicycle has only one wheel, so the balance is not very good, and Chu Ying is small, so she fell over after taking a few steps. "Chu Ying, are you okay, look at your face, haha, come on."

Wang Naiyuan supported Chu Ying's black face and wiped off the mud, "Look at you, the sun doesn't know how to take a rest, this little face is as black as carbon, how can you marry in the future."

"You don't have to worry about that. You can love green vegetables and radishes. I'm black because I do a lot of work. Where can I find such a hardworking daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, come on, I'll push it, don't fall again, and only the sleeve of the left hand can be wiped." Chu Ying walked with Wang Naiyuan while supporting the wooden barrel.

"You still have trouser legs, haha." I felt better when I went out to work with Wang Naiyuan, and I didn't have the trouble of failing to build a wall before.

When Wang Naiyuan by the lake asked Chu Ying to sit by the lake, she rolled up her trousers and walked into the lake with bare legs. in the barrel.

Chu Ying took a closer look, and didn't think there was any difference in the soil. The right to dig the lake mud was a project to regain confidence after the wall failed. Irrigation of their own wheat fields is still good.

"Oh, something bit me." Chu Ying looked at Wang Naiyuan's exaggerated expression, and showed surprise cooperatively.

"Ah..." Sure enough, Wang Naiyuan grabbed a water snake to scare Chu Ying, but seeing Chu Ying's face remained unchanged, she felt very unfulfilled. Water snakes are creatures that most girls would be afraid of, but Chu Ying Sakura is no ordinary girl.

"Is it dead? If it's not dead, put it back." Most water snakes are non-poisonous, and the head of the water snake doesn't look poisonous.

"How could you not be afraid? You were afraid before, but now you are bold. What else are you afraid of?" Wang Naiyuan grabbed the mud from the lakeside and wiped it on Chu Ying's face.

Chu Ying wiped her face cleanly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of getting dirty, so I'll let you mess with me again." Chu Ying grabbed the mud and threw it on Wang Naiyuan's body. It's a small thing, and I won't be on the house for three days.

"Okay, okay, let's not do it, concentrate on digging the mud, or we won't be able to go back when it gets dark." Chu Ying threw away the mud in her hand after hearing what Wang Naiyuan said, but Wang Naiyuan secretly threw it at Chu Ying's face Wipe mud.

"You don't mean what you say." Chu Ying walked into the lake angrily, grabbed the mud and wiped it on Wang Naiyuan's body, but she was not as tall as Wang Naiyuan, and she just wiped it on his chest, not his face.

"Okay, okay, it's real this time, I won't mess with you, don't move, this mud is very sticky." Sure enough, Chu Ying threw herself on Wang Naiyuan's muddy chest without standing still. , Chu Ying refused at this moment.
