Yoyo Farming

Chapter 56

"Fu Niu, let me tell you something." Da Zhuang said to Fu Niu with a smile on his face.Fu Niu looked at the two sides, there was a stream behind, there were crops and fields on both sides, and there were summer insects chirping in her ears. Such a good scene is suitable for dating. Sitting here and making love to each other, it is not suitable for me to say unpleasant things to Da Zhuang here. Fu Niu replied to Da Zhuang: "What's the matter?"

If you are confessing to your sister, then there is no need, don't let down the good scenery, everyone greets: "You come to fetch water."

"I'm here to fetch water, and I'll go back now." That's all.

The evening wind was blowing, the grasshoppers were chirping, and Da Zhuang said with a worried face for Fu Niu: "You take care of the food very well, how can you live in the future if you waste it like this?" It's too wasteful to use white rice and pork to entertain the small workers, and it's impossible to waste money.

Fu Niu's words were beyond Fu Niu's expectation, but at least it would not cause her to spoil the scenery. Fu Niu, who was fascinated by crickets, just smiled and said: "I know." She took the water and left.

Da Zhuang stood behind him, looking at Fu Niu's figure, he was thinking a lot. His elder brother Da Gen always disagreed with his relationship with Fu Niu. Da Zhuang, who was raised by Da Gen since childhood, regarded his elder brother as his father.

It's rare that my brother agreed again now, and Dazhuang worked very hard today, as if he was tidying up his own yard.That's why I have to come over at night to tell Fu Niu such an important sentence. The farmer's family is looking for food in the soil. Money is not easy to come by. If you have money, you have to spend it.

After hearing Dazhuang's words, Fu Niu, who returned to the village with her mouth flattened, could see the light of the fire stove in the house from a long distance, and then there was a voice from a bolt: "Sister." This is at the village. It's Fu Niu, and the people on the side will not come to the village at this time of night.

"It's me." Fu Niu hastily answered loudly, and Youshuan is still afraid.Take a look at the silence all around, and there is a distance from the nearest residents, and it is rare for every family to light oil lamps at night. When there is a moon, they use the moonlight, and only occasionally light oil lamps unless it is raining.

From this point of view, the village became even quieter at night, and there were occasional chatter and laughter, but they were all far away.Youshuan was a little scared, and he had to tell Fu Niu a word.

Watching Fu Niu come in and pour water into the pot, sitting in front of the stove sweating, her face flushed by the fire, she said: "Sister, just now Da Zhuang came, I think he went to take a bath in the river, I met you."

During the day, when the house was demolished and the yard built, Youshuan became even more proud.Fu Niu borrowed an old wooden barrel from her fourth aunt, and added an old barrel from her family. This old barrel was found out of the kang cave when she was packing up and moving. I don’t know how it got there in what year. up.

Youshuan only remembered later: "It was put there to catch the rainwater, and it will drip when it rains heavily." It rained a lot for a while, so in order to get a bucket to catch the rainwater after sleeping without getting off the kang, I put it directly in there Later, there was a wooden box on it. I dare to say that this wooden box was also a luxury item added later.

The water brought in from two wooden barrels was enough for the siblings to take a bath and drink at night. The room was too hot, so Fu Niu retreated to the door and talked to You Shuan: "Da Zhuang said that the lunch we cook is very good, but he said no. live."

If Youshuan heard such words, it would only add fuel to the flames, and it was about to explode. Youshuan pouted: "We are willing to entertain, as long as they build the house earlier and work hard."

Youshuan and my fourth aunt have said that they only use white rice to entertain people. Fu Niu is a person who grew up eating white rice. She has only eaten cornmeal here for a few days and thinks it is really bitter. Not bad.

Yi Funiu persuaded Youshuan first: "In the future, my sister will let you eat white rice every day, and besides, I got a lot of money from black bears. Everyone in the village knows it. It's not good to be too stingy. Boys can't be too stingy. Let's talk about ourselves You have to eat accordingly." Fu Niu thinks about adding any miscellaneous grains to the rice, which will affect her appetite.

Fu Niu was even more generous when she showed the kindness of my aunt: "I bought the rice and noodles, please make it for my aunt, steamed big steamed buns, all of which are made of white flour." It's as soft as bread and delicious.

In private, Fu Niu thinks about it for herself. I don’t know if it’s because of her sister’s rich mentality. Anyway, it’s good to not eat cornmeal. Of course, I also eat miscellaneous grains. It’s really good to cook millet porridge and sweet potato syrup. When the house is built, Fu Niu doesn't mind getting some sweet potatoes to boil sugar water. In fact, in the countryside, sweet potatoes are also eaten by pigs, except in the era when there is no grain to eat.But on this point, Fu Niu didn't mind.

After listening to Youshuan's muttering after Dazhuang's words, Fu Niu said to Youshuan: "He always thought it was a good intention when he said this. My sister told you that when you see Brother Dazhuang tomorrow, you can do whatever you want. Let's In the future, there will be fish ponds, and then we can grow vegetables, and we can earn a lot of money if we work harder, and people in the village will know that our family eats well, so let them get used to it now."

"Okay." Youshuan agreed very readily. Today's lunch and dinner, everyone praised and even envied some people, which made Youshuan feel very good. Think about it, few people in the village build houses with white rice for hospitality. Except for the village head and two other families with some family background, Youshuan felt even more proud. After all, he was still a child and he was used to it.

After adding another firewood, Youshuan called out to Fu Niu: "Sister." Then he raised his face and looked over: "We can have fish ponds and grow vegetables, so don't go hunting in the future, Brother Da Zhuang Asked if I built a house and asked you to go hunting, I told him not to go any more.”

Youshuan said to Fu Niu with concern: "Hunting is so dangerous, and I'm happy to share the money, but when I think about you beating that big black bear, even though you brought money home, I'm scared just thinking about it."

He also felt the heat in the room, so Youcai, who was squatting outside the door, only moved when he heard his name being called, and continued to sleep on the floor.Youcai still uses cloth strips to tie it here, to the wooden pillars on the windows. Youcai is used to not biting the cloth strips now.

The moved Fu Niu smiled and said to Youshuan: "You can also go hunting, but I won't have time to go there recently. Once the house is finished, I will bring back the small fish fry. I bought a fishing net yesterday, although it is a bit small. , but it is specialized in catching small fish and bringing them back for stocking. I heard from Uncle Tian that he had seen lotus ponds when he was young, and he knew how to plant lotus flowers, and then plant some lotus roots in the fish ponds, the kind that can grow lotus pods." Fu Niu also made it I don't know if lotus and lotus are the same thing, and if they both grow lotus pods, anyway, Fu Niu wants to be the one that can grow lotus pods.
