Chapter 31: Living Up to Failure
The seeds have been redeemed, how to plant them, this is a big question.
As the captain of the fourth team, it is impossible for Qiao's father to run to the territory of other teams for no reason, and other teams will only be wary of him, and there is no chance to do it at all.
In the end, Qiao's father put his mind on Qiao Hongzhi, the eldest son is very popular and familiar with all the corners of the village.
Qiao's father, like Qiao's mother, is reluctant to let the child go to the field too early to earn work, and there is no primary school in the team, Qiao Hongzhi except for mowing the grass and picking wild vegetables, isn't the rest of the time playing around?
Therefore, Qiao Hongyuan and Qiao Jiayue both agreed with Qiao Hongzhi to complete this difficult task, he may be playful, but what should be done is never ambiguous.
Sure enough, after Qiao Hongzhi understood where these seeds were to be planted, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Guarantee to complete the task, sir!"
As he spoke, he saluted decently.
Father Qiao slapped his raised hand, "Don't do this, be careful that people will hold on." ”
Qiao Hongzhi laughed twice, "Abba, I know it." ”
He doesn't like to think about problems, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have brains!
Qiao Hongzhi, who was carrying the seeds, first made a plan for the topography of the village, where and when to plant them, and arranged them in an orderly manner.
Qiao Jiayue listened to Qiao Hongzhi's chatter on the side, and was a little surprised, she didn't know that her eldest brother would plan in advance!
Speaking of which, after coming back from rebirth, she always felt that there were many strange and surprising points in her family.
After Qiao Hongzhi made the arrangement, he called Qiao Hongliang and a few other friends to find wild fruits and run around the village, anyway, no one would pay special attention to his behavior.
When the other team members saw it, they would say a few words at most, such as Qiao's father and Qiao's mother doting on their children.
When the rain stopped, it was replaced by a scorching sun, and the moisture on the ground was quickly dried and stuffy.
Qiao's father took a look at the road, it was not so muddy, and he was ready to take Qiao Jiayue to the Changshan brigade next door.
Qiao Jiayue was very excited at the thought of meeting her favorite fourth aunt, and prepared a lot of things in the basement.
Because of the special period, I dare not have more of everything, as long as it can be eaten, it is extremely precious.
Father Qiao looked at what she had prepared, and rejected it in the same way, leaving only about half a catty of rice.
"Why?" Qiao Jiayue blushed, Fourth Aunt Qiao is pregnant now, and it is time to supplement nutrition.
"Last time I went to the Changshan Brigade, I already gave brown sugar bricks and the like, and if I gave it again, it would be too eye-catching. Father Qiao explained that even the Lu family's financial resources could not get so much food in demand.
Qiao Jiayue pursed her lips, in the end she followed Qiao's father's advice, for the current situation, what she saw was only the surface.
The Lu family's house is a brick house, which is the most magnificent in the entire Changshan Brigade, and it is the ten Zhang Dacuo that was built on the original site after Grandpa Lu came back.
The Lu family has not yet been separated, and the family lives under one roof, but fortunately, the Lu family has many rooms, and the four aunts Qiao have their own separate rooms.
Qiao Sigu held her big belly and pulled Qiao Jiayue to talk affectionately, she likes girls and hopes that the dragon and phoenix fetus will be born in her belly.
Xu is aunt and nephew laughed louder, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in the next room, and snorted heavily.
The smile on Qiao Sigu's face faded, and her voice lowered a lot.
Qiao Jiayue will understand that there are many Lu families, and it is inevitable that there will be friction, and it can be counted as four generations in the same house.
Lu Hongjun has a bunch of cousins, and the relationship is very good and harmonious, but their daughters-in-law are different, each has their own abacus, and there is no less friction on weekdays.
"Fourth aunt, this is for you to replenish your body. Qiao Jiayue took out a small cloth bag, and finally she replaced the rice with dried white rice.
As long as you soak in hot water, you can eat it, and you don't need to cook it, so it won't attract the attention of other Lu family members, resulting in Qiao Sigu not being able to eat a bite.
Qiao Sigu was surprised, opened the cloth bag and saw that it was white and fluffy, "This is rice flower?"
"No, this is boiled and dried white rice, the fourth aunt soaked it in some hot water to soften, and the fourth aunt secretly ate it. Qiao Jiayue put her mouth to Qiao Sigu's ear and said.
Qiao Sigu reached out and touched her stomach, and hugged Qiao Jiayue again, "Thank you Abba." ”
Qiao Jiayue didn't speak, took out a brown sugar cube and stuffed it into Qiao Sigu's mouth.
Fourth Aunt Qiao was stunned and laughed.
Qiao Jiayue also laughed, and saw two small bags protruding from Qiao Sigu's belly, she was stunned and reached out to touch them.
So it's like hide and seek, as long as there is a small bag bulging out, Qiao Jiayue will touch it, which makes Qiao Sigu itch.
"Yue'er, they like to play with you. Qiao Sigu held her stomach in both hands and said with a smile that it was the first time that the child in her belly was so active.
Qiao Jiayue squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "You have to be obedient inside! or your cousin will beat your little ass in the future." ”
When she spoke, she opened the system and wished her blessings: Qiao Lijuan has a safe pregnancy and a healthy child!
Seeing the success of the blessing, the smile on Qiao Jiayue's face was a little more.
Qiao Sigu drank a bowl of water, and felt that the taste of brown sugar in her mouth was still there, so she took a piece of dried sweet potato and gnawed on it, and at the same time pulled out a wooden box from under the bed and took out a pair of small cloth shoes.
"Yue'er, try it, do you see what the fourth aunt does?" Qiao Fourth Aunt wanted to squat down to change Qiao Jiayue's shoes, but asked her to stop her.
"Fourth aunt, what you did must be right. Qiao Jiayue took the shoes, gestured slightly, was reluctant to wear them, and carefully put them into the satchel she was carrying.
Qiao Sigu's shoe-making skills are famous in the entire Alpine Brigade, and Grandpa Lu took a fancy to her craftsmanship at the beginning, plus she has a good reputation, so she invited someone to talk about the matchmaker.
So Fourth Aunt Qiao's life in the Lu family is actually not sad, but the concubines are not so happy.
Qiao's father gave the seeds to Lu Aijun and asked him to plant them quietly, and it was always right to eat more.
Lu Aijun naturally will not refuse, the Lu family manages the canteen, in fact, the pressure is also great, and the shortage of food is a problem that every canteen of every brigade will face.
Qiao's father asked about the current situation of the commune again, and learned that because of the matter of fast-growing wild vegetables, the people of the entire commune were not allowed to go out, and could only move within the scope of the commune.
"I don't know the specific news, if you have someone you know well in the commune, go and inquire again. Lu Aijun said.
Although there are brothers in the family in the commune and the county seat, the news cannot be transmitted back in time, and there must be a lag.
"I see. Qiao's father nodded, thinking that Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Sigu should have talked about it, so he got up and said goodbye.
After Qiao's father and Qiao Jiayue left, Qiao's fourth aunt ushered in the concern of her cousin, aunt and others, and they all wanted to know what Qiao's father had brought and whether they could get a piece of the pie.
Aunt Qiao coped, thinking that the cooked dry rice sent by Qiao's father was very suitable, if the rice was sent, according to the attitude of these concubines, she estimated that she would not be able to keep a grain of rice.
When there is a shortage of food, how can it be important for the concubine to have a mother's family, and how much can be cut out.
When Grandpa Lu heard that Qiao's father was coming, he only thought that he had come to see Aunt Qiao, and he didn't ask, Lu Aijun didn't tell Grandpa Lu about the wild vegetable seeds last time, so he continued to hide it this time.
The fewer people who know about these things, the better, and Father Qiao trusts himself so much, he must not let him down.
