Yoyo Farming

Chapter 17

Looking at the bowl of delicious stewed eggs, Fu Niu couldn't speak for a while, and now she was willing to eat the hatchlings she was thinking about.

After going into the mountains again, I let myself only eat cornmeal pancakes at night. Fu Niu really felt aggrieved. She always needs to give some labor compensation to the laborers.

"Come on, Youshuan, let's eat together." Fu Niu and Youshuan sat at the table, eating together with the fire in front of the stove.Looking at the fire in front of the stove, there is enough firewood now, even if there is a plug, I am willing to use firewood.

After dinner, Fu Niu took a walk in the yard, and was moved by Youshuan again. You Shuan insisted on washing the dishes because Fu Niu was working too hard. She went to the mountains yesterday and today.

Fu Niu, who enjoyed Youshuan's kindness, could only be moved and went to the yard for a walk after dinner.Walking in the yard, Fu Niu, who is quite the head of the family and feels like working hard at home, looks at the newly planted saplings and a few bamboos, which are now You Shuan's favorite.

The topic that is tied to every day is those trees. With such sincerity, it would be a bit sorry to imagine that these trees would not survive.

Youshuan came out at this time, wiped the water from his hands on his clothes, and said to Fu Niu, "Sister, there is still enough hot water in the cauldron, I put half more water in the cauldron than usual, you can use it later Wipe yourself in the room."

Fu Niu, who was touched again, was actually thinking about this problem. Today's weather is a little hotter than yesterday, and she hurriedly went out for a walk in the mountains, and she was really sweaty again.

I wanted to go to the creek to take a bath again, but the water was too cold. The snow water from the mountain melted and flowed down quickly, and it was still cold in this small village.

If I didn't wash it, I would feel very sad if I went to sleep on the kang with such a dirty body. "Okay, there is a tie, I will wash it later." Fu Niu agreed, and pulled the two thick branches brought back today to her feet, bent down and squatted down to start packing firewood.

Taking advantage of this moonlit night, you can do a little more.While doing things, Fu Niu realized how difficult it is to be a farmer.

I used to read in books that in order to save oil lamps, people in the countryside always go to bed after dark and get up early at dawn to do things by daylight. Now Fu Niu has personally realized that being a farmer is really not easy, and At this time, I am deeply ashamed of my previous luxurious life.

Youshuan was not idle either, he came out to help arrange the broken branches of Fu Niu, and put them in the yard, waiting for the sun to dry for a day.

"Sister, the new leaves on the bamboo seem to have grown a bit today." This is a topic that You Shuan never tires of talking about.Fu Niu also laughed: "When the walls of this yard are covered with bamboo, next year you can eat bamboo shoots without going out. The bamboo grows densely, and you have to carry it down to sell, but I don't know if the yard is fat or not, and the bamboo will grow." It won't be secret."

Youshuan also took a serious look, and then said: "It will definitely be dense. Our land here is very fertile. You see that the neighbors grow vegetables in their yards. Let's grow some too, sister. We didn't grow them before, no? Aren't we in the mood? It's not easy to stutter every day."

Fu Niu was distressed for a while, what happened to Fu Niu in the past, oh, she was a little sick, and often lost her memory, which made You Shuan, a child who can do everything at home now, Fu Niu said softly to You Shuan : "There is Shuan, my sister will take care of you in the future. Vegetable seeds, tomorrow we will go to the uncles in the village to get some, and we will also grow some vegetables to eat."

There was nothing else in the house but cornmeal pancakes.After saying this, You Shuan Xing came over a bit: "Sister, last year Aunt Tian next door wanted to give us vegetable seeds, but we didn't ask for them at the time. I'll find her tomorrow to find some more."

Fu Niu also came alive, while fiddling with firewood, she chatted with You Shuan: "Let's plant some melons or something. I wonder if Aunt Tian has watermelon seeds at home. Plant some melons, some..." Fu Niu said I'm going to drool.

"What is a cantaloupe?" Youshuan asked, and Fu Niu remembered that the cantaloupe didn't seem to exist in China at this time.I really felt the summer wind blowing tonight, and I started sweating again after being busy for a while.

Fu Niu said with undiminished interest: "Then let's grow some gourds, which can be played and eaten, and some loofahs, loofahs are the best..." Lentils, eggplants, and green vegetables, as a city girl, don't know anything. Fu Niu first told them one by one, at least if there are any, or whether it will come out in season after planting, I don’t know.

The two siblings talked happily, Fu Niu glanced at the trees in the yard, and smiled at Youshuan: "The peach tree in the mountain yesterday, there must be a small peach tree next to it, sister will bring the tree back next time. Next year there will be no peaches to eat, but there will be peach blossoms."

"En, um." Youshuan just nodded excitedly following Fu Niu's words, as if he could see a beautiful future.

Turning all the branches into firewood, Fu Niu went to the house to wipe her body. This is water for steaming eggs, but I am satisfied with hot water. The firewood for boiling water was obtained by myself.Fu Niu felt that she cherished it more now than before, and she couldn't help thinking sadly, maybe she didn't cherish it too much before, so she punished herself to do hard work here.

Fortunately, I am not a weak girl, otherwise how would I live this day.Thinking about it this way, although this is hot water for steaming eggs and steaming cornmeal pancakes, Fu Niu is also satisfied with being able to scrub with such hot water at night.

As for the towel in his hand, he was even more satisfied. It was made by Youshuan from the old cloths that he was reluctant to throw away at home.

A small farmyard with a bamboo forest as a wall, of course, this will only be available next year, and we must ensure that the trees and bamboos we plant can survive, so since the yard is empty, we can grow a few trees, and there will always be some that survive .

Next year, imagine that next year, people will be in pain, think about the good, life will be easier.Although Fu Niu's life can be regarded as temporarily stable, it is still unstable. She can't think of a better life, so that life will be easier.

When the peach blossoms bloom, the apricot blossoms also bloom. Of course, choose a small tree that is as small as possible. If it is too big, it will not be able to get back, and if it is too small, there will be no flowers next year...

Then put on a bamboo frame, the loofah is blooming, the loofah is hanging, and there are grapes. Raisins, delicious and nourishing.
