Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 203 My Babies

Mu Xiaohua was stunned. Feng Herui of Yushan Tribe was a merchant of their tribe. Since the tribe started raising cattle and horses, the merchant industry has become more and more developed, and more and more people have left the Moya Forest to go to the tribe outside.

The Junsi tribe is located in the west of the Moya Forest. It took about three months to travel in the past, and it is rich in silk and velvet.

Calculating carefully, Lan has been away for seven or eight years, and there has been no news of him in these years, and Mu Xiaohua will think of him from time to time, wondering how he is doing.

"Is he okay?" Mu Xiaohua asked.

"Yeah." Ah Rong nodded, "I heard Feng said it's pretty good, it's been a lot of trouble, he brought a message and told us that he's fine, don't worry about him, he misses us very much."

"That's right!" Mu Xiaohua nodded and smiled slightly, "It's good that he is well, I wonder if he has plans to come back?"

Ah Rong shook her head, a little sad: "Feng said he asked him, but he just shook his head, and he didn't know if he didn't plan to come back or whether he wanted to come back."

Mu Xiaohua smiled: "It's fine to know that he is well no matter what, it doesn't really matter if he comes back or not, as long as he lives well himself!"

After the busy season in spring, Yu and the others don't have much idle time. The peach tree seedlings, red bayberry seedlings, and pear seedlings raised in the previous year can all be planted this year. About [-] acres, it took a lot of time to clean up.

After picking the fruit seedlings, Yutong and Shi went up the mountain with Dahua and Xiaohu, and brought back two wild cows. From then on, they had milk to drink. In summer, Mu Xiaohua made ice cream with milk, red beans, mung beans, etc. To eat, take it to the ice cave of the Jiangshan tribe to freeze.

Now that there is a horse instead of walking, it is very fast to go to the Jiangshan tribe, and the distance is not a problem at all.

This year, the cattle, horses and other animals raised in collectives have reproduced very well, and they have gradually shifted to a private breeding model. Whoever wants to raise anything can go to the collective farm to collect young animals. In the end, only fish ponds are left and collective feeding is left.

Mu Xiaohua and the others plan to raise two or three cows, horses, donkeys, and sheep, as well as two pigs, some chickens and ducks, as long as they can eat enough for themselves, so Yu and the others have to find a place to clean up and set up pens, and it will be another busy year. That's it.

This year's winter came earlier, but fortunately, they had already made preparations for the winter. When winter came, there was no need to do anything. Mu Xiaohua felt more and more comfortable in this world, where food, drink, shelter, and clothing were all that was needed. , many things are self-sufficient, and there is no need to work so hard to make money like in the original world.

If you don’t go out in winter, everyone finds something to do. There are papers, pens, paints, needles, threads, and fabrics. There are so many things to do, and there are so many little ones to play with. Every day is very fulfilling.

Sunrise and sunset, day and night change, winter is getting deeper, the weather is getting colder and colder, after a few days of cloudy days, the sky starts to rain, the winter rain is pattering, Mu Xiaohua and her family gather in the main house lively.

"Look at the rain, if it continues to fall, it will snow!" Mu Xiaohua, Aya, and Aying came from the kitchen with skewered meat and vegetables, and entered the house, Mu Xiaohua said.

In the past, the distance between the main house and the kitchen was open air. When a corridor was added in front of the newly added rooms the year before last, all the independent houses connected to the open air were added with corridors. In this way, it is easy to walk back and forth in rainy weather like today. Very convenient.

Today they are going to grill. There is a charcoal fire in winter, which is suitable for grilling.

"Yes! It will definitely snow." Aya agreed, "When it snows, you can play in the snow again."

"Mom, I'm going to play in the snow too." Little Aning ran over and hugged Aya's leg, looking up at her with bright eyes. The title "Mom" was naturally taught by Mu Xiaohua.

"Mom, I want to play in the snow too~" Little Ameng ran over wobbly and hugged Mu Xiaohua's leg.

Mu Xiaohua put down her things and picked her up, "You have short hands and legs, you can't play in the snow."

"Why?" Little Ameng didn't feel sad because of Mu Xiaohua's rejection, she just tilted her head and looked at her in confusion, she looked very cute.

"Because the snow is too cold." Mu Xiaohua hugged her and shivered.

Little Ameng giggled and asked again, "Why is the snow so cold?"

"Ameng, you should ask your mother, what does Xueleng have to do with your short hands and legs?" Yutong next to him laughed.

"Mom, what does Xue Leng have to do with your short hands and legs?" Meng copied Yu Tong's words.

Mu Xiaohua pinched Xiao Meng's tender cheeks with black lines, "It's you with short hands and short legs, not me."

Little Meng said in a childish voice: "You have short hands and short legs, not me."

"It's you." Mu Xiaohua scratched little Ameng dumbfounded.

Little Meng twisted and giggled: "It's you."

Mu Xiaohua just scratched her lightly twice, and then smacked her face, "It's Xiao Meng!"

"It's Little Ameng!"

Xiao Meng copied it perfectly, and Mu Xiaohua laughed happily.

Yu Tong said: "Little Meng, you should say it's mother."

"It's mom." Little Ameng said immediately.

Mu Xiaohua gave Yutong a sideways look: "Don't talk nonsense, you will teach children badly."

"I'm not a kid!" Xiao Meng retorted, "Mom, I'm a big sister, I'm a kid."

"Okay! Our eldest child, Amengsu!" Mu Xiaohua hugged her and turned around.

The topic of playing in the snow just went awry like this.

"Oh! Little Aqi urinated!" Aye, who was holding sister Qi over there, screamed, "Mother Xiaohua, uncle, come and help me!"

"Sister Ye, I will help you." Little Ameng tried to shrink down from Mu Xiaohua's arms.

Mu Xiaohua put her down and watched her wobble towards Aye, she was really very responsible for her sister.

Every day passes in a relaxed and happy way, and occasionally there will be some quarrels, some unhappiness, and some irritability, but life is like this, noisy or peaceful, day by day.

Soon it will be the end of winter, and it will be the New Year. As Mu Xiaohua and the others said, after the rain, it will start to snow. The whole winter snow stops, stops, stops, melts and falls, and melts and melts again , By the second half of December, the snow hadn't melted anymore, but the snow was not deep, only just above the ankles, and the amount of snow was just right, which was a good year for auspicious snow.

The Chinese New Year is coming up the next day, and Mu Xiaohua invited Chief Ge Lu and his family to celebrate the New Year this year. They started to make preparations one day in advance, making rice cakes, making glutinous rice cakes, fried crispy meat, fried melon seeds and peanuts, and making candies. Busy and bustling.

On this day to prepare for the New Year, Mu Xiaohua and the others went to bed very late at night.

The next day, Mu Xiaohua was still sleeping soundly in the bed, and the early-rising baby Qing crawled on top of her, waking her up, with a very substandard pronunciation of milky voice, "Ma Ma, Ma Ma!"

"Ouch~ my baby!" Mu Xiaohua woke up in a daze, hugged the ball-like baby Qing into the quilt, and heard Yu Tong say: "Little Hua, get up! An old friend is here to find you!"
