Reborn farming life

Chapter 9

After lunch, I didn't dare to let him take a nap because I was afraid of overeating, so I coaxed him to feed the chickens and learn to count.After a while, Aunt Liu came with Erya, followed by a man this time with a hammer and some planks in his hand.He is not fat but very strong. He looks about 40 to [-] years old. He is a typical farmer with a simple and honest temperament unique to farmers.Guess this should be Uncle Liu.

Letting them into the yard, Aunt Liu took my hand and said, "Sister Yu, don't you want to build a chicken coop! It just so happens that Uncle Liu is free this afternoon, so let him help you build it, and it will be ready soon."

"Hey! Then thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I'm really sorry to trouble you all the time!" I was really embarrassed, since I have troubled Aunt Liu's family a lot since I came here.

"Stupid child, what are you talking about? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We should help each other. Besides, your mother and I are like sisters. Now that she's gone, it's not right to take care of you!" Aunt Liu's plain but sincere words let I had the urge to cry, and sighed that I really met a good person!

"Well, thank you, Aunt Liu. If you need Yu'er in the future, Yu'er will do her best!" I really don't know how to thank Aunt Liu, so I can only promise to help if I have something to do.

"Hehe, let's not talk about this, sister Yu, where do you want to put the chicken coop?" Aunt Liu changed the subject.

Lead Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu to the east corner and point to the corner, "It's right here, do you think it's ok?" The chicken coop on the roof is not afraid of rain." Aunt Liu turned her head and told Uncle Liu again.

Uncle Liu nodded dully and began to set up.Aunt Liu took me to sit under the persimmon tree and continued to teach me how to make clothes. While doing it, I chatted about the gossip I heard, why the owner lost a chicken, who did the sister of the West family marry, and so on. You can talk about everything, it seems that no matter where in that time and space, women are very gossip!
Seeing Uncle Liu sweating under the sun, he went to the kitchen to get a bowl filled with water and handed it to him. Uncle Liu nodded, took the bowl and drank the water. Aunt Liu smiled happily.Suddenly I looked up and saw the persimmons on the tree. These persimmons would be overripe and fall off if I didn't pick them. That would be too wasteful.I don't know if Aunt Liu's house has tools for picking persimmons.

After thinking about it, I asked Aunt Liu directly, "Auntie, you see that the persimmons at my house are all ripe, I want to pick them all, otherwise they will be ruined if they fall off in a few days. I wonder if your family has any tools for picking persimmons." what?!"

Aunt Liu looked at me strangely when she heard the words, "What kind of tools do you use to pick persimmons? Don't they all climb up trees to pick them? If you want to pick persimmons, let Uncle Liu pick them for you."

After listening to Aunt Liu's words, I looked at the persimmon tree next to me, and I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Is there no tool for picking persimmons?This persimmon tree is so tall, how dangerous it would be if it fell!You must know that the predecessor of this body fell to his death from a tree!

I remember that when I was young, my grandma’s house had persimmon trees, and my grandpa used the nets that were floated in the water to set them directly down.Secretly thinking about how to make a simple and replaceable tool, I finally found a cloth bag, two long bamboo poles, and fixed the cloth bag between the two poles with a rope. I guess this would work.Aunt Liu and Erya were puzzled when they saw what I made. Even Uncle Liu who was working and Tuantuan who was feeding the chicks looked at me suspiciously.

It was Aunt Liu who asked, "Sister Yu! What are you messing with?" The other three people also looked at me and waited for my answer.

"This, I want to use this to pick persimmons. My mother told me about this, but it's the first time I've done it, so I don't know if it will work." Aunt Liu would not be afraid to ask me how I knew after moving the dead mother out. .

"Ah? Can this work?" Aunt Liu asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I don't know, let's try it out." Then he grabbed the roots of the two bamboo poles with his hands, lifted the cloth bag under a persimmon, and then pulled the bamboo pole back with the persimmon, "Boom "A persimmon fell into the cloth bag with a sound.Sure enough, but this is too much a test of arm strength, my arm will be sore after picking one, but it is better than climbing a tree!
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were all amazed when they saw me pick the persimmons, and then they praised this method as good.Erya was also clamoring to try it, but Erya was weaker than me and couldn't lift the bamboo pole at all, which made her pouted and complained.Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu also tried, and finally Uncle Liu, a farmer, won the final victory.I saw Uncle Liu's strong arms holding up two bamboo poles one by one, and quickly picked off the persimmons.I counted, good guy, there are 55 persimmons in total, what a bumper harvest.Immediately, five of them were washed out, and each of them ate one by one.The sweet persimmons are really delicious, and Xiao Tuantuan eats them all over his face, like a little cat, which makes everyone laugh.The little guy who laughed was shy, and hid behind me with a big persimmon in his hand.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and Uncle Liu's chicken coop was also set up.One side of the rectangular chicken coop is against the wall, and the three sides are surrounded by wooden boards as high as my waist.

Aunt Liu also brought a lot of straw from home to spread in the chicken coop.It was too late after all this was done, so I took ten persimmons for Aunt Liu and sent them out.

Close the courtyard door and blast the three chicks into the chicken coop.Looking at the persimmons on the small table, there are forty persimmons left, should they be made into persimmons?Or store them directly in a cool place. After storage, they can be stored for several months. You can eat frozen persimmons in the New Year.I sucked my saliva, and finally decided to store it directly. Although persimmons are delicious, I really don’t know how to make them... O(∩_∩)O haha~
There is a one-meter-high shelf in a cool and ventilated corner of the grocery room. The straw left over from laying the chicken coop is spread on it with a thick layer, and then the persimmons are neatly stacked on it.When the weather is cold, cover it with a layer of straw, so that it can be stored until April next year at most!
Store the persimmons well, and thread the red peppers dried in the morning into strings with a needle and thread and hang them on the kitchen wall, which is very convenient for use.After finishing these, it's time for dinner.I am in a really good mood today. For dinner, I baked a pancake for Tuantuan, and fried vegetables with the leftover bacon, and put some chopped peppers in it.

It may be that he has never eaten spicy food, Xiao Tuantuan burst into tears after taking a bite of the dish, sticking out his little tongue and looking at me tearfully, which made me laugh non-stop, and made Xiao Tuantuan look at me sadly.That expression is even more funny, and my stomach hurts from laughing.Xiao Tuantuan saw me laughing all the time, so he ran into the house annoyed with the biscuits, and it took a long time to coax him back.

In the evening, I took out the wild ginseng and looked at it again before I rested with peace of mind.

The next morning, after breakfast, I continued to tie the nets. There was still a lot of thread left. I hope that I can finish it before I arrive at the fifteenth market, so that I can sell it for money.While thinking about it, I have to find a way to find out the price of ginseng when I go to the market next time, and I have to find a store that can afford it, and I have to prevent being tricked by villains. You know, this ginseng tree is worth a lot of money. Woolen cloth!If one accidentally gets caught up in people's minds, he and Tuantuan, the lonely sisters and widowed brothers, who have a little power can snatch them away, and if they don't do it well, their lives will be hurt.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Tuan Tuan running towards me from the vegetable field, shouting while running, "Sister! Sister~Look~" ran up to me and stretched out the chubby hand in front of me as if showing off, slowly Open up.When I saw the things in his hands, I couldn't help but have black lines all over his head-_-|||I saw a fat caterpillar wriggling in the small hands and rolled my eyes helplessly at the sky. Although I am not afraid of these insects, but The visual impact is still disgusting.He picked up the caterpillar with two fingers and put it on the small table, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.He began to educate Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, from now on, you are not allowed to catch bugs directly with your hands, and don't play with this. When you see caterpillars in the future, use a small stick to pick them up and feed them to the chickens. The chickens eat the bugs and eat them." You can grow up quickly."

After listening to my words, Tuan Tuan tilted his head and seemed to think for a while and asked me, "Sister ~ sister ~ Is it true that Tuan Tuan can grow up quickly after eating insects?"

I am so depressed to ask this question!Be patient and reason with Tuantuan, otherwise he will be in trouble if he really swallows it in the future. "Tuantuan, we don't eat worms. If you eat worms, you will have a stomachache. It hurts, so you must not eat them!"

As soon as Tuantuan heard that he would have a stomachache, he quickly nodded his head. I promise he won’t eat it, “Sister~ Tuantuan won’t eat, don’t eat worms, Tuantuan will eat for chickens.” After thinking about it, I still don’t feel at ease, “Tuantuan is a good boy. No matter what it is, as long as it is something you want to eat, you can ask sister if you can eat it, do you hear me?" Tuantuan nodded obediently, then touched his little head with confidence, picked up the caterpillar and wanted to feed it chicken.

Before I reached the chicken coop, I heard someone knocking on the door, and the knocking was urgent.Rolling his eyes, who is this? He wants to knock on the door, and he is busy shouting, "Come on, come on, stop knocking!"

When I opened the door, I was squeezed back a few steps by a huge body before I could see it clearly.Who is this! !He hurriedly stabilized his footsteps and looked at the people who came, and saw a woman with a big arm and a round waist pushed open the door first, then turned around and bowed her head, leading another woman in gorgeous clothes to enter the door.

The woman was wearing an embroidered peony skirt that seemed to be made of silk, a gown of the same color on her upper body, and five or six gold hairpins scattered all over her head. Qian saw that the woman frowned disdainfully at me and the house behind her, and looked at me with contempt in her eyes.It made me so angry, who are you, you came to my house to despise my sister! ! !Although I wished to throw her out, I still said politely, "I don't know who you two are? What are you doing here at my house?"

The woman didn't speak, and walked straight to the stool under the persimmon tree. The woman supporting her wiped the stool with a handkerchief before helping the woman to sit down.This series of actions makes me want to scold people, these two people are too rude, what are you doing!Come to our house to show off and show off your power and prestige!
