Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 142

The Chinese New Year is a major event for farmers. After working hard for a year, just to enjoy it for such a month, even if the family has no money, they try their best to borrow money to celebrate the New Year.

Although the Qin family has something about Qin Ye, but fortunately he is in good spirits, and the doctor also said that his body is well wrapped, even if it costs money, he is at ease, and the family happily prepares for the New Year.

It's New Year's Eve, and Lao Liutou asked Liu Fei to send Qin Yang home so that he could go to study after the New Year's Eve.

Xiuyao took Qin Yang to scoop out spinach in the field.Last year, the wasteland was plowed and the stones were cleared away. Because the solar terms were late, there was nothing else to grow. It was all spinach.At the beginning, I didn't think how much it would grow, so I sowed some more seeds, and it turned out to be quite good.In addition to eating by myself, I also gave a lot to the neighbors.

Xiuyao was carrying a basket, and Xiaoyanger was carrying a small shovel for her. He sang Tong Yao, which Xiuyao taught him, "The sun shines in the sky, and the flowers smile at me... I want to earn gold ingots when I grow up..."

When the two arrived in the field, the little sheep had sharp eyes and immediately yelled, "Thief! Sister, you steal vegetables!"

Xiuyao just saw a few children gouging out spinach in the field, and seeing them coming, she immediately ran away with a basket, and Qin Yang chased after them.There was a child who was running slowly, but suddenly fell to the ground and was held down by Qin Yang, "Little thief, I've caught you."

The child cried, "Don't hit me, don't hit me."

Xiuyao saw that he was a bit older than Qin Yang, with a dirty face, torn clothes, and tattered cattail socks on his feet with his toes exposed.

She pulled Qin Yang away and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't beat you."

The child looked at her suspiciously, and slowly got up, Xiuyao brought over the small basket he had thrown aside, and said with a smile, "You guys ran away." Children steal things together like this, When someone comes, run quickly, no one cares about anyone else.

The child bit his lip, "We have agreed, run away when someone comes, and run one by one."

"Puchi..." Xiuyao laughed. These kids had a plan. Qin Yang heard this and said, "That's why they don't care about your dishonesty. If it were my sister and I, we wouldn't leave them behind."

The kid puffed his cheeks, "We'll be beaten if caught, we're not that stupid."

Qin Yang said loudly: "No loyalty! Just a little spinach, they can beat you to death!"

The child stopped talking again, but he was still unconvinced.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Okay, what's your name?"

The child said: "Earth egg."

Xiuyao's eyes widened, Didan?Isn't that the dialect of potatoes?There are no potatoes here, how can he call it a ground egg?Iron eggs are fine too.Seeing her as if she had seen a monster, Didan asked dissatisfiedly: "I am called Didan, what's the matter with Didan, Didan sounds so nice, what are your names?"

Qin Yang chuckled and said, "You're still called Di Dan, why don't you call it Mud Dan, Iron Dan, and Egg."

Di Dan straightened his neck and said, "My mother said, Di Dan is solid."

Xiuyao said: "It's getting late, you can dig some food and go back."

Di Dan was quite surprised, "You asked me to dig vegetables?"

Xiuyao nodded, and Qin Yang said, "You bastard, my sister asked you to dig because I asked you to dig. You think we're lying to you."

Di Dan hesitated, looked at the spinach all over the ground, couldn't help but ran over, pushed aside some chaff and went to dig the spinach in the ground.At this time, the spinach has not completely turned green, but it is covered with wheat bran and wheat straw, and it has not been frozen, and some of them have already turned bright green.

He quickly dug a small basket, and then quickly dug some more, and said, "I'll help you dig vegetables."

Xiuyao dug slowly, so she smiled and said: "Thank you very much, we have enough." She packed up the vegetables, and put the extra in his basket, said: "How about this, you and you My little friends said that if you want to eat spinach, you can come and dig it, but don’t dig too much, you won’t be able to finish it. Just dig the same day and come back the next day.”

Didan looked at her in surprise, unable to close his mouth, "Really?"

Xiuyao smiled, "Of course it's true, but I have one condition."

"Tell me." Didan stared at her blankly, thinking that this sister is really pretty, although she is also a countryman, she is not like those sisters in their village whose cheeks are red from the cold and have cracks.

Xiuyao said with a smile: "When you dig vegetables, turn over the place you dug, count it as digging the ground for us."

"Meet!" Di Dan readily agreed, "We agree."

Xiuyao smiled, and said to Qin Yang, "Okay, let's go home."

Didan looked at their backs, and still couldn't believe it. He looked at the vegetable field, looked at his vegetable basket, and said to himself: "Is this true? Is she the snail girl my mother said?" ah."

When he got home, Qin Yang yelled at his family that the thief was caught, someone stole spinach, Xiuxian said: "I'll go with you tomorrow."

Xiuyao said: "Second Sister, we planted that spinach casually. The money for the seeds has already been recovered. We can't eat it all by ourselves, and it's not worth selling it. If they want to eat, we can dig some for them. I said, let them eat it." Help dig the ground."

Rural households basically have a vegetable garden. Spinach is a must-have vegetable, and it’s worthless to sell.If it is transported to the county, there are already regular vendors selling vegetables near the county seat, and she will only be squeezed out if she goes again, and all of them will rot by then, and she won't be able to sell them for much money.

Qin Xian heard this, and said: "This is too pretentious, our family can't get enough to eat, besides, it's no wonder they dig the land for you."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Second brother, then we can't just stay there, what can they do if they want to steal you, and I don't expect them to dig the ground, that's all."

As a result, Xiuxian and the others went to dig vegetables the next day, and found that the place in the north where the vegetables had been dug had been turned over, and the chaff was piled up on top of other vegetables, so there was no waste.

Xiuxian smiled and said, "Yaoyao, these people are really interesting."

Xiuyao said: "Second Sister, they are just like us before, they just can't get enough to eat. Now there is no place to dig wild vegetables, so they come to dig when they see spinach in the field. If we fight and scold, we can't stand it." , it’s better to let them dig it, it’s better than wasting it if you can’t finish it.”

Xiu Xian nodded, "That's right."

When they dug up the vegetables and went home, everyone was amazed, thinking that those children were quite sensible.

23 Xiaonian, 24 sweeping the house, and then making big buns, making buns, buying tofu, and celebrating the New Year in a blink of an eye.Originally, in the first year after the family separation, Mrs. Liu wanted to live a good life, but the old head of Qin asked the eldest family to go to live with them. Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Liu to take the meat, fish and vegetables prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner. Go eat with everyone.Coupled with Qin Ye's injury, the second year of Xiuyao's transmigrated life was extremely brief.

After the new year, we will visit relatives and visit. If we have a good relationship and a short distance, we will visit each other and pay New Year's greetings.Generally, the family in the village pays homage in the first day of junior high school, and from the second day of junior high school, the daughter returns to her natal family, and the aunt's and aunt's house go like this.However, the Zhang family of the old Qin family asked to be as frugal as possible, except for going to her mother's house, any aunt's house or aunt's house would be fine.After all, you have to bring gifts when you go out, and the old Qin's family doesn't have any gifts to bring.And the daughters can always bring her something when they come back home, and Liu's can bring back things from the old Liu's house.

Because after the Chinese New Year we still have to weave gloves, and it’s still early for Xidigua, and the children can live with their grandparents, and Qin Yang will be fine if the school is on holiday, so Qin Dafu, the Liu family, took the children there on the third day of junior high school. Lao Liu's house rushed back the same day and did not let the child stay.In addition, in the first month, Lao Liu's family had a lot of relatives, so there was a lot of noise, so Xiuyao and the others didn't have time to discuss business matters with their grandpa, they just waited until the first month was out before going.Because the three aunts also came back in the third year of junior high school, and no one ran into them, Liu Shi also deliberately avoided Aunt Qin, so as not to entangle Xiuqin about changing marriages.

After everyone's careful care, Qin Ye was also optimistic and cheerful, and his injury was almost healed. Only his right hand had to be hung, carefully protected, and the dressing was changed regularly as required.

As for Qin Yang, who has been studying for a year, although he is only six years old, compared to the little kid Xiuyao met when he first crossed over, he has completely changed.Now that he has grown up a bit, those big black eyes are no longer ignorant and self-willed, and there is also a touch of bookishness between his brows, and his words and deeds are naturally different from before.He is generous and courteous in front of people, and has won praise from everyone.

Of course, in front of his family, he can immediately return to his original appearance, laughing and joking, especially following Xiuyao.He was still a polite elementary school student, but he was clearly a cunning and mischievous troublemaker.

On the third day of junior high, Xiuyao actually wanted her mother to leave the little sheep at her grandmother's house, because when she came back, she always found excuses to call him to try to brainwash him and instill some strange ideas in him.For example: If you want to kiss the nanny but not the mother and elder sister, the elder sister will be the one who gets married in the future, and it will be the water thrown out, which is useless at all.If grandma and grandpa ask for money to spend back with grandma, they should give it to him, and if they don't, it's not right.

But Qin Yang wanted to go home to play for a few days, to be close to his family, and Liu Shi also missed his son, so he said to let him go back after February [-]. Xiuyao had no choice but to agree, and could only find a way to look at him, Lest Mrs. Zhang instigate him again.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Zhang Guifang came to find Xiuyao. Xiuyao was dragging Qin Yang to wash her hands and face. This kid thought that he was not afraid of her when he grew up, and dared to rub his greasy hands on her body without washing. While rubbing, pretending not to know, talking to her in a whisper.

Xiuyao pinched his neck, forced him to wash his hands, and taught him: "Little rascal, you think sister can't take care of you when you grow up, don't you? Don't you know that your sister will grow bigger when you grow up, take care of you Only easier!"

Qin Yang immediately begged for mercy: "Oh, my sister, I know I was wrong, so please forgive me. My aunt is here to look for you."

But Xiuyao still refused to let him go. This kid started to have more eyes after studying. He used to be a playful heart, but now he is really dark.

Qin Yang had no choice but to pinch his nose, "Baa!" He blew like a sheep.

Xiuyao laughed, let go of him, and said with a smile: "You little cunning."

Seeing Zhang Guifang coming, Xiuyao let go of the little sheep, greeted Zhang Guifang with a smile, and asked her to sit in the room.

Zhang Guifang saw that although their small courtyard was small, it was tidy, with a screen wall tied with sorghum straw, and a bed of spinach to the north.The Yong road in the middle is paved evenly, and on the west side of the Yong road is a bed of leeks. Because it has not yet started spring, the bed of vegetables is covered with a curtain of wheat straw.

She smiled and said: "They asked me to discuss whether we should start work earlier this year. It's not the beginning of spring, and if we want to be idle, we will be idle. The daughters-in-law have left their natal homes, and they don't have many good connections. They all want to come and do it." I have work." If there is only one month from the sixteenth of the first lunar month to the sixteenth of the second lunar month, wouldn't it be better to start now.

Xiuyao laughed and said: "Auntie, I even discussed with my mother that I would tell you to go early. Even if it is later, everyone will be busy with spring plowing and planting. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away. It's better to go early."

Zhang Guifang made an agreement with them. She checked the almanac and said that it was appropriate to start construction on the eighth day of the lunar new year, so they started.She smiled and said, "Tomorrow is Little People's Day. It's a holiday for your children. Let you rest for one more day. We will start work again on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."

Little People’s Day is Children’s Day. On the seventh day of the lunar new year, it’s called Shuan Xiaoren’er. Noodles are cooked for children at home, which means long-term, smooth, healthy and long life, making children smarter and healthier, free from disease and disease-free disaster.After eating the noodles, the children can stop working and run to the street shouting, "Little Shuan, eat noodles..."

When the family was not separated before, the Zhang family would not celebrate such a festival, saying that wasting food and wasting time, it is better to take a good rest if you have that little effort, and work easily when you turn back.

Qin Yang heard it, ran over and said with a smile: "There are many festivals in the first month, and I am happy to be a lazy wife. She doesn't crush or push the mill. She hugs the child and chatters." It doesn't mean that the east and the west are short.

It made everyone laugh, Zhang Guifang said with a smile: "Yangyang knows a lot, and my aunt will find you a hardworking wife in the future."

Qin Yang regained his energy when he heard about marrying a daughter-in-law. He peeked at Xiuyao and saw that she was talking to his mother. He pulled Zhang Guifang and whispered, "Auntie, don't forget to tell me more."

When Zhang Guifang heard this, he laughed happily, "Zhong, Zhong!" Qin Yang ran away happily.

Everyone talked for a while, and Zhang Guifang said: "Sister-in-law, please be busy, I will ask Qiangzi to send a letter to shopkeeper Feng, and ask him to deliver the cotton as soon as possible, so that we can start work."

After discussing it, Zhang Guifang said goodbye and left. Xiuyao and the Liu family discussed how to make arrangements for the family.

After all, there are other things besides knitting gloves.Before February [-], there will still be a batch of blessing beans, which Xiuyao especially keeps, and they will come to pick up the goods in a few days.The land at home should also be prepared for spring plowing. The rented land is easier, but the wasteland requires a lot of effort.In addition, the most important thing is that the pig raising that has been planned for a long time will start, and some saplings she ordered will also be in place. So, Xiuyao feels that she is very busy this year.
