Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 71 Farm Work
Tian Xiuniang's little grandson ate several pieces of melon in a row, and his mouth was covered with it. However, because he was weak since childhood and had a small appetite, although he still wanted to eat, he had no room in his stomach, so he had to look at the delicious melon with longing eyes. After stuffing it into someone else's mouth, Qiao's mother looked very happy, "This little guy has found his favorite food, it's okay, there are still a lot, let's eat this tomorrow."

Tian Xiuniang shook her head, and fed her little grandson a bite of rice, "Don't spoil him, he's been able to eat more and more recently, if you explain it to him today, he'll remember it tomorrow."

Father Qiao smiled and said, "If I remember, I will remember. Our family can't afford it. If we look for it tomorrow, there will definitely be some big ones. Pick them all up and eat them."

Yu Yawen lowered her head and stuffed a bean into her mouth. She felt uncomfortable, and her own child didn't see them liking it very much. On the contrary, this child who didn't know where he came from was favored by them. Thinking of her dead child, she suddenly had a full appetite. No, the beans in her mouth also lost their taste, but when she looked up at the child, her heart was suddenly softened into a mess. If her child was still there, it must be cuter than the one in front of her. Her heart turned over and over again. She was tall, but she couldn't really hate this child, and even wanted to hug and kiss her. Yu Yawen sighed and warned herself to correct her mentality, and not to distort her personality just because her child was gone. .

Mother Qiao took a bite of the melon and fed the remaining small piece to the child. The child chewed beautifully while smiling, with crooked eyes.

Qiao Mi took a few glances at the child and said, "The longer the child grows, the more energetic he will be."

Tian Xiuniang nodded, "No, I just don't like to talk, but I'm satisfied with that, it's better than being sick when his mother was around."

When Su Yun was mentioned, the table was quiet. This woman is so superb. Even though she has left now, she is still impressive. Thinking about it for a while, I feel disgusted.

Father Qiao laughed out loud, "Eat, eat."

Tian Xiuniang felt uncomfortable when she thought that such a woman was her daughter-in-law, so she patted the back of her eldest grandson, "Are the grandchildren full? Let's go play in the fields when we are full."

The child is too young to remember his mother's name, but he just feels kind when he hears the word Su Yun, and he opens his hands silly, "YU~yun,yun."

Tian Xiuniang sighed, raised her hand to wipe the child's hair, and put him on the ground, "Go, play by yourself."

The child looked up at the dining table, made sure that no one was feeding him, so he went to play with Dahua on his two short legs. The lazy big flower in Qiao Miwei's house.

Big Hei is too big, the children are afraid to play with it, and Da Hei doesn't like to talk to people, Xiao Hei is carried by Qiao Miwei to Taoyuan to watch the sheep, and the only playmate left is Who knew that Dahua's laziness would exercise the child's body, but the process was a bit speechless.

Normally, people play with dogs, but when it comes to children and Dahua, it's reversed. It's not that people throw toys and let the dogs pick them up, but Dahua pulls the toys away and let the children pick them up. At first, Tian Xiuniang found out When I got married, I was quite speechless and wanted to teach my grandson a good lesson, but the child didn’t listen at all, and still let Dahua sneak him in high spirits. After two days of sneaking, he strengthened his small body. He went, as long as he can strengthen his body, he can slip away if he is slipped by a dog.

In the afternoon, Mother Qiao and Tian Xiuniang followed Sun Ying to mow the grass with a sickle. Qiao Miwei went to the garden to re-support the persimmon seedlings. Originally, these vegetables had already been supported in spring, but no one expected that the sun would mutate. These vegetables will grow so tall that the result will be affected if they are not supported. The rest of the family is still busy, so this job can only be done by Qiao Miwei.

She first went to the barn to choose some straight bamboo poles, then found unused balls of wool, cut them into lengths, straightened the persimmon seedlings, inserted them into the frame and fixed them with wool, and picked the ripe persimmons Put it on the wall of the courtyard next to it, and pinch the persimmons. She didn't learn the task of pinching until she arrived in Wujia Village. It was also at that time that she realized that if the persimmon seedlings grow to a certain point, the fruit will be affected if they are not pinched.

After setting up the persimmons, she put the bean stand back together again, and loosened the ground with a small hoe. The soil in the garden was indeed dry, but she didn't dare to open the gate to pump water, and she didn't dare to go from Taoyuan when the family was coming and going. To fetch water, if she was expected to pour water on the subway every day when she came back from Nanlu River, she would be exhausted. Thinking of this, she hated Wu Kaifeng again, and whipped him with a small whip in her heart over and over again.

After loosening the soil, the surface looked better, but it still couldn't change the fact of lack of water. She felt that she couldn't wait any longer, so she went back to the warehouse to find an empty flower pot, went to the garden and dug a flourishing lettuce. I poured some virus-containing water into the flowerpot, and then placed the flowerpot on the wall altar in the yard.

Let's observe for two days first. If the lettuce is fine, she will sacrifice a chick for an experiment to see if there is any problem after eating it.

After finishing this, she put on her gloves and hat and went to the next door to ask her sister-in-law to help look after the house, while she went to the ground with a hoe.

Their family's land has always been watched by Qiao's father. The land is not too big in the village, but it is not small for their family. At least it takes at least a week for weeding. Qiao's father has already done a few God, it's just that the weeds outside have also mutated. Without pruning for three days, they can grow half a foot high, and if one can't see it, it will surpass the seedlings, so Qiao Miwei didn't say hello to Qiao's father in the distance when he arrived on the ground. , but start weeding from scratch again.

After working until dinner, Qiao Miwei went up to the mountain to greet the two of them to go home for dinner, and Qiao Miwei didn't realize that it was already night.

She straightened up slowly, her arms could hardly be lifted, she rubbed each other, dragged the hoe home, and the first thing she did when she entered the yard was to take off her hat and mask, "Huh, it's too hot."

Mother Qiao took out a kettle and filled her and Father Qiao's cups with cold water, "Hurry up and drink some water. Didn't you say you want to support the persimmons? Why did they hit the ground?"

Qiao Mi gulped down a glass of cold water and felt alive again, exhaled freely, "I'm done tying up, I didn't do it very well, but let's deal with it." After finishing speaking, he said to Qiao's father, "Dad, I see Your work is for nothing, and the grass behind has grown so tall again." He gestured with his hands.

Father Qiao nodded, "I have removed this weed twice. The first time I removed it carefully, but after two or three days I looked back and saw that there was another pile. This time I also found a way to remove it quickly. Pick the big ones and get rid of them, and keep the small ones for a day, and come again and again."

At this time, Sun Ying also finished stacking the haystacks and entered the yard. Hearing Father Qiao's words, he couldn't help but say, "I've been doing the same thing for the past two days. I'll cut it if it grows well. Uncle, why don't I go to the field tomorrow too?" , you can’t do it alone.”

Father Qiao shook his head, "Go ahead and mow the grass. We have a lot of families, and we still guard the mountain here. If we don't clean up the grass, I'm afraid that there will be more mosquitoes coming into the house. It will be dangerous. Weeding work must be done quickly." Take it slow."

Qiao's mother said, "Daying, you can just weed. Tomorrow I will go to the field with your uncle. If I don't want to go, let Weiwei go."

At this time, Yu Yawen stood at the door and shouted, "Dinner is ready."

Qiao Miwei quickly drank two more sips of water, changed his shoes and socks, washed his face with water, and waited until he felt refreshed before going into the house to eat.

After dinner, the whole family went back to rest after tidying up the dishes. They had done a lot of work recently, and no one had the energy to chat. After returning to the room, Qiao Miwei fell on the kang, and Mother Qiao stepped forward and patted her. On her back, "Take off your shoes, go up and lie down."

Qiao Mi muttered slightly, "Wait a minute, let me take a break."

Mother Qiao looked at her, sat down and rubbed her arms distressedly, "Why don't I go fetch water tomorrow."

Qiao Mi shook his head slightly, "Don't underestimate those two jugs. After filling them with water, they are heavy and heavy. You must not be able to carry them. Besides, you have to ride a bicycle back and forth, and you can't push them uphill. Let me go. .”

Qiao's father said, "Tomorrow, there will be less water in the kettle. Anyway, our family is not short of that little water."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "Okay, they didn't suspect it, did they?"

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "No, it's a matter of water, who can pay attention to this."

"Oh." Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "By the way, I put a flower pot in the yard, and I planted lettuce in it. If I don't want you to help me watch it, that one is for my experiment. , I poured virus-containing water into the flowerpot."

Father Qiao said, "It's good to try it. It would be great if it can water the ground."

The three of them chatted for a few more words before falling asleep. In the middle of the night, Qiao Mi got up slightly and went to the kitchen to fill the bucket quietly before going back to sleep in peace.

Maybe it was because of her youth, after a night of rest, Qiao Miwei felt less tired when she got up, and she took a bucket to fetch water after breakfast.

After gathering at the entrance of the village, we headed to the place where we met with Tuli Village. On the way, Qiao Miwei obviously noticed that today's team configuration had changed. The original number of men was almost half, and they were all replaced by women. She was riding a bicycle. He went to Wu Dongwei and asked, "Why do we have so many women here today?"

Wu Dongwei turned his head to look around, and said with a smile, "This is what the village chief meant."

Qiao Mi was slightly puzzled, "The village chief asked for this on purpose?"

Wu Dongwei nodded, "Didn't you hear the loudspeaker yesterday?"

"It seems that I heard the horn calling, but I didn't listen carefully." Qiao Miwei recalled it for a while, making sure he didn't know about it, and asked in a low voice, "What is the village chief's intention?"

Wu Dongwei said, "Yesterday we almost got into a fight with people from Shuanghe Village. The village chief was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold back the fight today, so we changed some women, so we might lose out."

If there is a fight, men may not necessarily take advantage, let alone women?Qiao Miwei didn't understand. When he got to the place where he met Tuli Village, he saw that they were already waiting there, but their village chief Lang Yonghai was also there. Lang Yonghai greeted Wu Dongwei, "Young man, come here. I'll tell you a word."

Wu Dongwei was very respectful to Lang Yonghai, he stopped the car and walked over, "Master Lang, what do you want?"
