The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 9

In the morning, Nuan Bao took out the bone soup that had been warmed with charcoal last night, filled a separate crock pot and sent it to Aunt Zhang's house next door.Although there is no meat in the bone soup, the rich meat flavor still makes a few little dolls salivate and swallow.

Back home, the puppy kept wandering around Nuan Bao's feet. Nuan Bao nodded its head funny, scolded "Greedy Dog" with a smile, found a large bowl with a hole in the kitchen, and used it as its future food. box.Pour all the broken bones into a bowl and set aside for it to eat.

Xiaofu heard the dog barking in the morning, so he didn't need anyone to bark. He immediately got dressed and eagerly surrounded the dog to watch it eat.

Nuanbao knew that having a living creature at home would make people feel much happier.

"Xiaofu, do you feel full just watching the dog eat?"

"Sister, come and see, it's so powerful, you can drink the soup with just one lick of your tongue..." Xiao Fu kept talking excitedly, regardless of whether others heard it clearly, it was purely to express his happiness.

Nuan Bao shook his head, this kid won't play with the dog sooner or later, right?
Shrugging his shoulders, the puppy is still asking for blessings.

"Okay, come here quickly. If you look at it again, your sister will sell it. Whoever made it so that Xiaofu won't even eat." Nuan Bao said pretending to be angry.

When Xiaofu heard this, it was terrible, her sister lost her temper. "Sister, what will Xiaofu eat today?"

"Eat sesame seed cakes, just eat with bone soup. After eating, play with the dog, you know?"

Xiao Fuying was gnawing on a biscuit, but turning around to see what the dog was doing from time to time.

Nuan Bao didn't care about her. After breakfast, she cleaned up the dishes and took the dirty clothes to the stream for washing.She only uses the water in the tank when cooking, otherwise she has to pick the water when it runs out.

Xiaofu got a new toy, so he naturally wanted to show it off to his friends in the village.After eating, I ran away with the puppy in my arms.

When Nuan Bao was laundering clothes by the stream, he heard the daughter-in-law and the little girl next to him talking about how Uncle He’s family built a fish pond today, and later went to buy a few together to pickle at home for the Chinese New Year.

Nuan Bao remembered that his uncle said that Uncle He would send some pond mud home when he built the fish pond, and told Nuan Bao to wait at home.Nuan Bao quickly rubbed the clothes a few times. There was no pollution in ancient times, not much dust, and the two of them didn't go to the fields, so they wrung out the water after a while and went back with the wooden tray.

When I got home, I hung the clothes on the hemp rope, let the two hens out of the coop to find bugs in the yard, and cooked some wheat bran to feed them.I remembered that the vegetable seeds I bought yesterday were still in the back basket, so I quickly found them out, but just dug a hole and put them in?

At this time, a sudden voice came from the door: "Is anyone there?"

Nuan Bao trotted to the door and saw a sturdy man standing tall and straight at the door, "May I ask who are you?"

The person who came lifted the wooden bucket in his hand, "I am Uncle He's nephew, and here is the pond mud I asked for as a gift to Uncle De."

Nuan Bao came to his senses, opened the wooden door, and walked aside, "Come in, my uncle is not at home, can you put it in the vegetable field in the back garden for me?"

The other party responded with a very deep voice, and without further ado, he carried the wooden bucket and walked towards the back garden.

Walking into the vegetable field, the visitors are undoubtedly shocked by the barren scenery. At this time, every household will plant a large amount of vegetables before winter. I have never seen such a wasteland.He froze for a moment, then thought that there were only two little girls in the family, and they must not understand this.

Nuan Bao pointed to the ridge and said, "Chinese cabbage is growing here, but I don't know when it will germinate. You can pour the pond mud beside it."

He frowned, looking at the entire vacant vegetable field, "Aside from Chinese cabbage, what else do you plan to grow?"

Nuan Bao said, "Wait a minute." She ran to the kitchen to pick up the basket, and then ran back to the vegetable garden, "Here, the vegetable seeds I bought yesterday, but I don't know how to plant them."

The other party took out her seeds and looked at them, "How about this, I will help you sow the seeds today, otherwise the cold weather will easily cause frostbite."

Nuan Bao shook her head: "How embarrassing, I can do it by asking someone."

The other party ignored her words, picked up the hoe placed in the corner of the wall, and started digging up the ground.Nuan Bao shrugged embarrassingly, this man's face was paralyzed, but he was warm-hearted, although his way was very helpless.She watched him loosen the soil and break up the clods with a rake. His movements were skillful and vigorous, like a picture of strength and beauty.

When Nuan Bao was staring blankly at his movements, he never felt it.For a long time, he lived alone on the mountainside, eating alone, hunting alone, and farming alone. Few people talked to him, and almost no one paid attention to him and paid attention to him.It's the first time I meet such a little girl, let's call her a girl, it seems that she is only less than ten years old, and she just stays with me wholeheartedly, without any impatience.This feeling was very strange, a little timid but also a little happy, he tensed his body trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

After reorganizing all the vegetable fields, he picked a field farthest from Chinese cabbage to plant radishes.Radish cannot be planted close to Chinese cabbage, otherwise it is easy to get sick.Nuan Bao took out the plant ash from the bottom of the stove and gave it to him. The plant ash was used as the base fertilizer. He nodded, buried it in the soil, swept it evenly with a rake, put the radish seeds in, and covered the outside with a thin layer of Soil, and some water.

Looking at the remaining seeds, cucumbers and other vegetables must use pond mud, not dry sand. He poured the whole bucket of mud between the Chinese cabbage and radish, and turned the soil as usual. After mixing the pond mud and sand, it became Clay soil, which is very suitable for growing cucumbers.

Nuan Bao looked bored, thinking that the guests had not yet entertained the guests.So I filled a bowl of bone soup, took a sesame seed cake and brought it to the vegetable garden.Since the vegetable garden has been renovated by my uncle, there are more stools and small utensils, which can be used for rest.She put all the hot food on the little Wuzi and called him to eat.

Only then did I realize that I didn't even know his name.

Nuan Bao hesitated for a moment, then called out in a low voice: "Big Brother"

Suddenly surprised by the little girl's words, he paused for a moment, raised his head and said, "Qin Chengyi"

"Huh? Is that your name?" Nuan Bao asked with her head tilted.

"Ah."

"Then... I'll call you Brother Cheng Yi from now on?" Nuan Bao asked uncertainly, she hadn't gotten along with a strange man yet.

Qin Chengyi lowered his head, pursed his lips and said, "It's up to you."

what the hell.Pretending to be so cold.But it still feels like a big man.

Nuan Bao took out the pasta from the basket and said to him, "Eat something first, it's a waste of energy."

Qin Chengyi was also polite, it was always troublesome to start a fire by himself, he was not used to having breakfast in the past, so he sat down and drank bone soup.Sure enough, the taste is different from the one I made. No matter how skilled I am, I can't make it taste like a woman's. It will always be a bit bland and rough.

After breakfast, he asked her to take out the fat and applied it conveniently.How could Nuan Bao stare at him like this, those personal belongings were already embarrassing and smelly, she didn't want to do this in front of outsiders.Seeing her hesitate, Qin Chengyi also understood that she was thin-skinned and embarrassed, and just let her be a little girl to fertilize. She probably couldn't even lift the bucket.

It's not a problem to be so exhausted, he can only consciously go to the toilet, take out the dung bucket and carry it to the vegetable garden.

Nuan Bao covered her face with her hands anxiously,
This action caused Qin Chengyi to laugh, and Nuan Bao shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to laugh. Otherwise, I will never let you come again."

He knew he couldn't make her angry anymore, so he put his head down and finished applying the fertilizer.

Nuan Bao scooped out a spoonful of water and handed it to him to wash his hands. Qin Chengyi looked forward to it and said nervously, "I'm going to help my uncle catch fish later, do you want to come?"

Nuan Bao hasn't seen the fish pond yet, and she also wants to join in the fun, "Okay, let's go together."
