Chapter 8

Tian Ji was finished, and a suitable stone was selected at the exit and pressed on it. Fang Yumin happily went home with Xiao Ming's children's shoes.

As soon as she got home, Fang Yumin poured two bowls of water and drank it with her head raised.I am really tired, but I can't just leave the picked soil like this. I will quickly hoe a small vegetable field and mix it all in.After Fang Yumin drank the water, he hurriedly went to work the vegetable field again, Xiao Ming also ran to help pick up the small stones in the field, and pulled the weeds.

The two were so busy that they were sweating again, Fang Yumin asked Xiao Ming to rest, and she leveled the ground in one go.After wiping off his sweat, Fang Yumin picked some vegetables and a bunch of shallots and came back.She was too lazy to make lunch, there was some porridge left in the morning, and there were roasted sweet potatoes in the stove, which would be reheated after a while, and then a plate of fried shallots and scrambled eggs was enough to make do with it.

Seeing Fang Yumin coming, Xiao Ming hurriedly brought her a bowl of cold water to drink, then took the vegetables and green onions from her hand and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Fang Yumin took a drink of water to catch her breath, then went to wash her face, and after blowing on the wind for a while to cool down, she went into the room and moved the small basket of eggs that Fang Xiaolian had saved on the floor.

Taking another empty basket, Fang Yumin took the small basket of eggs and shone them one by one towards the sun to see if there were any small black spots in the eggs.

If there are small black spots, it means that the fertilized eggs can hatch chicks, and Fang Yumin puts them back in the original basket; if not, she puts them in another basket, which is used to increase nutrition for the two of them.

After washing the vegetables and green onions, Xiao Ming came over and squatted beside Fang Yumin to watch her pick the eggs: "Mom, why did you separate the eggs?"

"Hey, these are breeding eggs, and chicks can be hatched in the future. We can't eat them." There are only seven breeding eggs for six chickens in the family, alas.

"Oh. When will the chicks come out then?"

"That depends on when the hens at home want to cuddle. Xiao Ming, go and heat up the porridge, and I'll put the eggs back and cook." Fang Yumin said to Xiao Ming, then picked up the basket of fertilized eggs and walked into the room Go, she has another basket of eggs ready to put in the kitchen.

The porridge boiled quickly, Fang Yumin took the pot of porridge and put it on the other side of the unlit firepit, and then put a clean iron pot on it.When the iron pan was hot, Fang Yumin cracked two eggs into a bowl, added salt and stirred clockwise, chopped garlic and green onions for later use.Fang Yumin fried the vegetables first, and then scrambled the eggs after washing the pot.

Picked up a little lard, put down the garlic and sautéed until fragrant, Fang Yumin told Xiao Ming not to add firewood.She quickly poured the egg liquid with salt and chives around the side of the pot. When the egg liquid touched the hot iron pot, an attractive aroma rose immediately, which made Xiao Ming in front of the stove sit down and sit down. Can't stop.He stood up and stretched his neck to smell it vigorously. Mother used to cook or boil eggs for him, but he never thought that fried eggs would be so delicious.

Fang Yumin quickly turned it over a few times, and before the egg liquid was completely solidified, she put it on a plate. Such scrambled eggs taste delicious, smooth and tender.

"Come on, try your mother's handiwork, be careful not to burn it." Seeing Xiao Ming's greedy mouth, Fang Yumin picked up a large piece and blew it into Xiao Ming's mouth, and asked him with a smile: "Is it fragrant? "

"Hiss~ fragrant, very fragrant, mother will try it too." Xiao Ming breathed out with his mouth wide open from the scalding egg, but smiled and nodded hurriedly at Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin took the opportunity to eat a piece of chopsticks too, it was really delicious.The Chai eggs raised in this family are delicious, and they are not comparable to the eggs laid by modern chickens.She stuffed another chopstick into Xiao Ming's mouth and said with a smile: "Go and wash your hands, we are ready to eat."

"Yes."

Fang Yumin picked out the roasted sweet potatoes from under the fiery red ashes in the stove, then took out the scrambled eggs, vegetables and porridge and put them on the table. Xiao Ming also took chopsticks and spoons and set them up.

"Come on, eat more." Fang Yumin scooped up a large spoonful of yellow scrambled eggs and put them into Xiao Ming's bowl.

"Well, thank you, mother." Xiao Ming grinned at Fang Yumin, took a big mouthful of porridge with the scrambled eggs, and raised his head to give Fang Yumin a thumbs-up, which made Fang Yumin laugh out loud.In fact, having a child in the family is quite happy, Fang Yumin thought, probably because Xiao Ming is more obedient?

Fang Yumin was hungry after working all morning. Although she really wanted to sweep the pot of eggs in front of her into her stomach, but these two days together, she felt very sorry for this obedient child who sat across from her and was obviously malnourished. Put eggs in his bowl, let him grow some meat quickly.

"Mother, you can eat too." Seeing that Fang Yumin almost ate all the scrambled eggs for him, Xiao Ming quickly stood up and scooped up a large spoonful for her.

"Okay, mother will eat too. In two days, we will go to the market and buy pork back to eat." Fang Yumin was drooling while talking, and she could almost see the glistening delicious big bone soup and braised pork ribs.

"But, mother, how can we buy pork if we don't have money?" Xiao Ming looked at Fang Yumin with his bright eyes in a bit of distress. He also wanted to eat meat.

"Your mother can become magic, and then she will be rich." Fang Yumin smiled mysteriously at Xiao Ming, and put another chopstick of eggs into his bowl.

"What is magic?" Xiao Ming asked innocently, blinking his eyes.

"You will understand later." Fang Yumin gritted her teeth at Xiao Ming, why does this damn child have so many questions?Ask every sentence?

"Oh." Xiao Ming nodded obediently, lowered his head and continued to drink his porridge.

After the two of them had lunch, Fang Yumin drove Xiao Ming to take a nap. Children grow stronger by eating more and sleeping more.She found a cloth towel to cover her nose, put on a straw hat, took a hoe, and went to the backyard. She wanted to tidy up the toilet.

The latrine of Fang Xiaolian's house is a typical old rural toilet.When the feces started to retting until they were ripe, maggots would even appear. That sight was as terrifying as it could be, and it also stinks to the sky!Fang Yumin couldn't help but gag every time she approached, she couldn't take it anymore, she had to do it.

Fang Yumin planned to dig a hole at the back of the toilet first, then dig a passage to connect to the toilet, and then build a squatting toilet seat in the latrine.Fang Yumin dug a deep slanted pit in the middle of the squatting toilet, connecting it with the passage leading to the cesspit. When the convenience is over, they can be covered with a layer of plant ash, and then flushed with water into the cesspit behind to compost.Because Mi Tiangong is no longer in the toilet, the smell will be weak, and then a wooden board will be built to cover the pit, and the smell will basically be gone.

And the stone slab that Xiao Ming brought back today just came in handy, laying it in the chute will make flushing easier.Then put a water tank in the toilet.Ah, by the way, there is also toilet paper!
When it comes to toilet paper, Fang Yumin is even more sad. Now she mostly uses vegetable leaves or large leaves.It's easy to break if you don't wipe it clean.vomit!Thinking of that situation, Fang Yumin felt sick again.She must speed up, there are many things waiting for her to improve.

The plan is easy to implement but extremely difficult, and Lin Qiulai is not at home and has no strong labor force. This heavy work can only be done by Fang Yumin, who is thin.

Fang Yumin took a deep breath, then raised the hoe high, and hoeed hard on the ground, oh...the ground is so hard, the hand hurts, the pit is so small...

Although it is said that one bite cannot make a fat man, Fang Yumin really can't bear to see those maggots again.She kept raising the hoe up and down under the big sun.Keep digging, digging... Sweat trickled down her thin cheeks drop by drop, got into the cloth covering her face, and soon got wet.

With such hard work, she even dug that hole.

Wiping the sweat off his face vigorously, Fang Yumin panted and looked at the fruits of his labor.But, what about the cover on the pit?You can't use thatch, for fear that people or poultry will accidentally fall, so you can only use wood or stone slabs.

The plank family could make do with one, but Fang Yumin wanted to get a stone slab to cover it.With Fang Yumin's strength, she had no choice but to ask Aunt Chunhua for help. Let her husband help.

Fang Yumin went back to the kitchen, washed his hands, drank water, took a rest, and then started digging tunnels and building squat toilets.After everything was done, Fang Yumin rolled a tank over, picked up the water and pushed the pile of horrible things down the chute, and washed them into the cesspit with water.Before the wooden board was covered, Fang Yumin also sprinkled soil into the pit, which could cover the smell.

The sun made Fang Yumin dizzy, she dragged her feet to the pear tree and sat on the ground to rest.Looking at the pigsty next to the latrine, Fang Yumin's heart moved. Who in the farm family doesn't want to raise pigs?This is not only a food reserve, but also one of the important sources of income.As for pig food, it is early summer, and pig grass is in full bloom. Fang Yumin is not worried. In the countryside, breeding is a must, otherwise food and clothing will be a problem with only a few acres of land. Isn't this home a living example? ?It's just that the piggy needs money to buy it.

A little further from the pigsty is the cowshed, and Fang Yumin thought of the six chickens when she saw the cowshed.Thinking of those chickens being kept in the yard and causing landmines everywhere, Fang Yumin had a headache.

Fang Yumin couldn't afford to buy a cow, so why not turn the cowshed into a chicken coop?At that time, it should be good to loosen the soil on the left side of the cowshed and shovel some green grass to create a grass environment. The chicken feces are easy to clean up in one place. Although they are disgusting, they are also good fertilizers.

Hurry up and renovate the cowshed while your body is still dirty, Fang Yumin reluctantly got up, hiss, her waist!I went to the kitchen to carry a bundle of dry straw, some of which were woven into a whole piece, and after a while, the cowshed was covered to strengthen the surface of the shed, and then pressed with a few stones to stabilize it, so that it would not be exposed to the sun and rain; The innermost part of the shed is also covered with a layer of dry straw, so that when a hen wants to lay eggs, the eggs will not break.

The distance between the wooden doors of this cowshed is also a little sparse, and having a door is like not having a door, and the chickens can still come in and out freely.Just take some twigs and wrap them around a few times and you should be good to go.

For a whole afternoon, Fang Yumin has been tidying up her backyard, and making toilet paper is also on the agenda.She'll go crazy if she wipes her ass with vegetable leaves, and she has to go to the fields to release fry tonight.
