Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 104 Beginning of Spring
When the carriage stopped at the door, Second Aunt's family members came out from the door after hearing the voice. Seeing Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan approaching, she seemed very happy, and quickly led Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to the front door. house.

There were many people sitting in the main room, Liu Man'er didn't know any of them, the second aunt pointed out her father-in-law and mother-in-law and introduced them to Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er said hello to them, and then brought the presents up.

The second aunt's father-in-law looks quite upright and energetic, but her mother-in-law is not as kind as the eldest aunt's mother-in-law. Although her face is full of smiles, she feels a bit hypocritical no matter how you look at it. But when receiving gifts I'm really happy.

There are really too many people in this main room, after Liu Man'er called a group of people, she went to the east wing room where the second aunt lived, the two rooms in the east wing were the second aunt's house, and they were quite clean Yes, the general layout is similar to the small courtyard of the Ye family in the past.

The family the second aunt married was named Li, and she married Li Liannian, the youngest son of the Li family. There were three elder brothers on top of him. Noisy.

It's Chinese New Year, and it's even more noisy, Liu Man'er didn't have anything to say to Ye Yuan's second aunt, so she casually said a few greetings in her room, and then left with her two children.

As for the second aunt's scholar-in-law Li Liannian, Liu Man'er didn't see it. I heard that he went to the county town for a drink. Every year, these scholars would gather in the county town. The second aunt complained to Liu Man'er that it would cost a lot for her husband-in-law to study. money.

Liu Man'er didn't want to talk, since he had no money, why did he let him go out to drink, and the second aunt was already in his thirties, so her husband must be at least in his thirties. Is it necessary to continue reading?

Besides, this old Li's family has a good face. The yard is so dilapidated, but they still make the facade so good. It's no wonder that the second aunt wants to follow her chickens. Although her family is not poor, the money is worthless. It is used to support the second uncle to study, and there are many people, and there is no separation, eating a big pot of rice together, it is a bit of a headache to think about it, even if you cook a chicken, it must be distributed to twenty or thirty people, and there will be no chicken feathers. come on.

Liu Man'er was originally very angry at her indifference to the Ye family and her behavior of beating Qiufeng, but seeing the current situation of her family, her heart softened, and before leaving, she returned the money to the second aunt's child. One purse per person, although the money is not much, but it can be regarded as my own kindness.

At the second aunt's house, she came back without even drinking tea. No wonder the children in the family refused to come. After Liu Man'er came this time, she also didn't want to come again.

Returning to the aunt's house by the same route, and after sending the two children safely to the aunt's house, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan embarked on their way back home.

When she got home, Fang asked Liu Man'er how she felt about going to the two aunts' house. Liu Man'er only said that it was okay, but she didn't want to say anything else.

Although this farm is celebrating the Spring Festival, it is impossible to stay at home all day. This year's beginning of spring happens to be on the sixth day of the new year. On this day, the head leader led everyone to sacrifice the spring god and whip the spring cow, and then everyone started to get busy again , It's the beginning of spring, and it's time to plow the ground.

Liu Man'er has been thinking about what to plant on these several acres of land in her home?I feel that it is too wasteful to grow some peanuts and soybeans. Although I work hard, I can't make much money.

But Liu Man'er didn't expect to be able to plant better things now, and fortunately, it's not time to sow seeds yet, so she just plowed the ground first, so Liu Man'er concentrated on picking up the few acres of land in the yard.

After all, the yard used to be wasteland, and there were many grass roots and seeds scattered in the yard. When the spring breeze blows, the grass will grow wildly.

Liu Man'er kept the grassland where the sheep were grazing, and of course she had to remove all the other grasses. Some of the fruit trees that had been planted last year did not survive, so Liu Man'er went to the town to buy some and pick them again.

I also bought some grape vines and planted them by the fence of the yard. There are no black beauty or Kyoho grapes in the previous life, only some mountain grapes, which are very sour, but it is better than other people who plant some thorns, anyway. The grapes are planted by the wall, and it doesn't get in the way.

What's more, the mountain grapes, which are not very delicious in the eyes of others, turned into sweet and sour wine in Liu Man'er's eyes.

Her large cellar is ready, all that is needed now is some wine, however, the vines are still just being planted.

After planting vines, Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to transplant some of the honeysuckle from the old house. She divided the yard into many areas, and each area was separated by honeysuckle. Now it is only surrounded by a fence. Climb up the fence, and you will see a large area of ​​green.

In addition, there are rhododendrons. There are so many rhododendrons here. In the eyes of the villagers, they are all useless wild flowers. There are many willow vines, but the azaleas are really beautiful when they bloom. It was transplanted into its own yard.

This is her root, and she wants to make it into the way she likes. She can't afford good chrysanthemums and orchids, so it should be no problem for her to dig some wild flowers and pick them.

For the rest of the land, Liu Man'er is all planted with sorghum and corn. The other crops are very delicate. Only the sorghum and corn can grow vigorously no matter how poor the land is.

What's more, when the sorghum grows, she can feed the chickens in the sorghum field.

Planting flowers, trees, and vegetables, Liu Man'er is busy every day, and she gradually likes this kind of life. Although she is tired, she always feels an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. The happiest thing every day is to go to See if the vines I planted are alive, what about the fruit trees I planted, or water the flowers and plants she planted.

After the festival, Liu Man'er became even more busy. She was busy taking care of the pond in the backyard. After a few heavy rains, the water in the pond filled up. Liu Man'er bought fish fry and put them in it, and bought a lot of lotus roots With water chestnut.

Put the bought lotus root indoors, cover it with straw, sprinkle water twice a day, close the door, keep the indoor temperature, wait until the sprouts are about two inches long, and then plant it in the pond.

Liu Man'er has read these methods in books. Because she has no experience, Liu Man'er doesn't know whether these lotus roots can survive. She has always been riding a bull across the river, taking a step by step, so every day, she will go to the pond. Take a look and look forward to when sharp corners will emerge from the pond.

But it seems that the more you look forward to it, the less it will listen to you. The lotus root has never appeared, but the newly planted flowers and plants in the yard have begun to take root and sprout.Liu Man'er simply didn't look forward to it, anyway, it will grow back naturally, even if the lotus root is dead, there are still water chestnuts, but even if the water chestnuts haven't grown, she still has fish, and she can raise ducks, so it's okay.

Spring is a season for sowing, besides looking at the lotus root, she still has a lot of things to do, for example, the beasts in the mountains have also started to come out, so she can go hunting with Ye Yuan up the mountain.

She also likes to go up the mountain, as if going to spring, stop and go, and occasionally draw a bow and shoot arrows, which is very interesting.

On this day, she walked around the yard again, and saw that everything in the yard was as usual. The skills of marinated eggs and preserved eggs had been taught to Fang, and the work of selling rabbits was handed over to Ye Qing. Aunt Chunhua has already been responsible for the small workshop, so for the time being, she seems to be idle.

It's spring, everything is revived, and a hundred flowers are blooming. Liu Man'er wants to go for a walk on the mountain. She and Ye Yuan haven't been to the mountain to hunt for a long, long time.

When he told Ye Yuan that he wanted to go hunting, Ye Yuan also nodded in agreement, and the next day, the two of them walked up the mountain with a hatchet and a bow and arrow on their backs.

For the whole winter of last year, Liu Man'er didn't know how she survived it. Every day was gray and gray, and there were some decaying seasons, and it didn't snow last year. That's why it's a bit abnormal here. Some old people have already started to worry about this year's harvest.

Liu Man'er has also heard this kind of talk, but she doesn't think about it now. Does it mean that if there is no snow for a year, it will affect the harvest in the next year?Liu Man'er didn't believe this.

Besides, she likes the appearance of spring at this time, there is green everywhere, especially the mountains are full of verdant greenery, because it is early spring, and the trees have just grown new leaves, which are tender and green, which is very beautiful.

Liu Man'er thinks that this year will be good again, and it will be a good year.

On the way up the mountain, Liu Man'er met many women. These women came out to pick wild vegetables. Besides bitter vegetables, there was a kind of plant called fern, which especially liked these women.

If these bracken can't be eaten at that time, they can be dried and stored, and they can be used when there is no food to eat. Of course, more importantly, this kind of bracken is not very bitter.

In fact, Liu Maner also ate it in her previous life. At that time, she was already a young lady. Everyone ate this kind of bracken, just to taste something new. Such a mountain vegetable ordered in a five-star hotel, It will cost three or four hundred yuan.

And the women here are just to fill their stomachs, they are hoarding this bracken, some of them have already climbed to the top of the mountain, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan usually hunt in that position.

Fortunately, this kind of bracken is everywhere in the mountains and plains in spring, but even if it is everywhere in the mountains and plains, it cannot withstand the picking of these hardworking women. To the mountainside, then to the top.

But this mountain is very big, and Liu Man'er and them don't often meet each other. Of course, with Liu Man'er's ear strength, they can often hear their annoyance, probably because they missed a pheasant or a wild rabbit.

Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan had really good luck today, as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they found a trace of a roe deer, with Ye Yuan's arrow skills, as long as the robe is found, they won't be able to escape.

But Liu Man'er intentionally prevented Ye Yuan from hunting down the roe deer. She waved to Ye Yuan, and the two of them followed behind the robe secretly. She wanted to find the old house of the robe and take the roe deer away .
