Chapter 35 35 Thoughtful Rice
The villain's serious appearance made Qian Xingfang laugh out loud, and couldn't help but take a sip on Xiya's fat face: "See, Xiya said it himself, you can't cheat him, we're smart.
"
Grandma Wu also laughed: "How can she understand? She just has an itchy mouth and likes to talk."
"This girl can speak to anyone. It's as if she really understands. She's very smart."
"Sister-in-law Qian, come here and take a look. You can dig up the remaining pumpkin seedlings here. My family has planted enough."
"If you can't use up the rest, help me and ask who needs it. Just come and dig it up. It's a waste to leave it alone anyway."
The land at home is so big, we can’t just plant one type of crops, we have to plant more varieties of others as well.
However, every household will grow a variety of vegetables that can be stored through the winter, such as pumpkins and winter melons.
When they get old, pick them off and put them in the cellar so you can have a bite of fresh vegetables in the winter.
Pumpkin, in particular, is not only sweet, glutinous and delicious, durable in storage, but also very hungry, with high yield and easy growing conditions. It is the best ration in rural areas.
Last year, because Zhao Lian was pregnant in the Wu family, Grandma Wu was very ill. Wu Bo had to take care of his wife, his mother, and his children, but he himself was not in a good position and could not plant much.
The weather was also bad, so the harvest was small, and most of it was used for food. During the winter, only sweet potatoes were left.
Grandma Wu specially planted more this year, so as not to end up like last year, where she only ate heart-burning sweet potatoes all winter, and the children at home were full of food.
The Wu family's private land is limited, so they have planted all the open space in front and behind Wu's house.
I planted some more land in my private plot, but I didn't finish planting all the vegetable seedlings.
The remaining pumpkin seedlings can be planted in two plots.
However, although pumpkins are good, no one would grow them on enough land. After all, food is the most important thing.
Qian Xingfang's family is really not finished, at most half of it will be enough to bear the burden of the sky.
Xiya's hug was soft and comfortable, so she didn't let go and just hugged her over to take a look.
"The girl from the Wu family has good hair and is really energetic. I only want half of it. I'll ask the girls from the Gao family and the Wu family for the rest."
"By the way, Mrs. Wang's family doesn't have one either. I see that Xiaoya from Mrs. Wang's family is playing well with your barley. When they come back, I will ask Xiaoya to take some back and plant them."
"That girl, despite her young age, can do all kinds of things like growing vegetables. She is a very capable girl. Just like your barley, she is the most hard-working and capable girl in our brigade."
Grandma Wu smiled and said: "Little girl is a good person, but her life is hard. But for those who are diligent, life will be better and better. That girl will be bitter first and then sweet. She will not make mistakes in the future."
"My Damai is hard-working, but her temper is too dull and thoughtful. Fortunately, Juhua has a cheerful temperament. I hope that Damai can learn to be more cheerful."
Grandma Wu was so worried that she couldn't help but murmured a few words, turned around and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the girl's affairs. I'll trouble Sister-in-law Qian to run over about Cai Miao. I'm useless and I really can't get out."
"
Qian Xingfang waved her hand: "What's the matter? It's just a matter of convenience."
"The sun is not low anymore. When I get it back, I will let them plant it while the sun is not shining, so as not to get burned in the sun."
"OK."
Qian Xingfang put down the sprouts and dug out all the pumpkin seedlings with Grandma Wu, leaving them for Yang Xiaoya. Xingfang took all the remaining money and gave it to Gao Xiuhong and Wu Shoudi.
They were all people who had come to help Grandma Wu before. Grandma Wu also thought that she could repay something, a few vegetable seedlings, which was not a big deal at all. They needed it, and she was quite happy.
Gao Xiuhong and Wu Shoudi were also busy working in their own fields during this time, so they could plant it if Qian Xingfang brought it back.
Yang Xiaoya's grandma earned work points in the brigade, so Qian Xingfang didn't take her with her.
Not long after Qian Xingfang left, Gao Xiuhong and Wu Shoudi both came over.
One person brought some pepper seedlings to the Wu family, and the other brought some courgette seedlings to the Wu family, which was considered a courtesy exchange.
That's how it is with farmers, if they have more, they give it away; if they don't have it, they go to another house to exchange it.
Mutual exchanges, mutual help, and full of human touch and fireworks.
The environment where Xiao Xiya once lived did not have such humanistic sophistication, so she felt curious and close to this kind of plain, shallow but warm life.
He looked so serious that his eyes never blinked.
Xiaomi also stared at Xiya's unblinking expression of concentration and found it very interesting.
Holding her chin with both hands, she squatted next to Xiya and watched.
Rice couldn't stay any longer. While the adults were talking and busy, she would pick up stones and play in the yard, count ants, and then pinch Xiya's little face to play, but she couldn't stop.
After all the adults had finished leaving, he asked, "Mistress, do you still have any work for me to do?" He raised his little head and his eyes rolled around, making up his mind at a glance.
Grandma Wu saw it through at a glance and said with a smile: "I'm dead."
A happy expression appeared on Da Mi's face, but before she could be happy, Grandma Wu said again: "But grandma just wants Da Mi to accompany her, is that okay?"
Da Mi's little expression froze for a second. He wanted to show his disappointment, but was afraid that grandma would be sad, so he forced out a smile: "Okay, Da Mi will play with grandma."
Grandma Wu nodded happily: "Daimi is so good, thank you Daimi, grandma is very happy."
Grandma said she was happy, and Da Mi's expression softened a lot. Although she was a little sad that she couldn't go out to play, it was worth it to make grandma happy.
The villain comforted himself and came to Xiya again.
"Sister, can I teach you how to sing?"
Xiya tilted her head: "Ahh..." What is Qu?
Da Mi Le said: "Xiya also wants to learn, right? Then I'll think about what to sing."
Rice tilted his head and thought.
Then he looked at Xiaomi excitedly: "Xiaomi, can we clap our hands?"
Without Xiaomi's consent, Daimi took Xiaomi's hand and started slapping her hands.
"The big slaps last until the first day of the first lunar month, and every household puts up lanterns. The big slaps last until the second day of the second lunar month, and every family welcomes their daughter Qiao."
"The palms are pressed until March 3rd, and the shepherd's purse flowers bloom to match the peonies. The palms are beaten until April 4th, and the radish flowers bloom to match the jasmine."
…
Thin buds???
Didn't you teach her to sing? This is music?
Xiaomi forced to play games...
Grandma Wu glanced here, shook her head and laughed.
I have been busy with spring plowing for a full month and a half. I get up early and work non-stop. Not to mention Wu Bo, Zhao Lian and others who eat three meals a day are all thin and black. The others are even more invisible, like skeletons covered with skin.
.
This shows how tiring spring plowing is.
The Qingming Festival is spent busy with work, and now we can't worship in large numbers. Everyone can only secretly remember their loved ones at home.
Grandma Wu, along with everyone in the family, took out Grandpa Wu’s memorial tablet and kowtowed to express her feelings.
Xiya didn't understand it at all, and it was the system guy who taught her about it. This is a way for human beings to remember their deceased relatives, so the little girl chatted a few words to her grandfather in front of the memorial tablet.
During this period, the wild vegetables are really growing like crazy. Every day when I go out, I can bring back half of the baskets of barley and wheat.
Wash it and dry it, and you can add it to winter vegetables.
During Grain Rain, the sky that had been clear for a long time finally started to rain.
Just as the spring plowing was finished, everyone could take this opportunity to rest for a few days.
Chapter completed!
