At night

Aunt Guo's house

Sister-in-law Guo told her family at the dinner table about buying pigs today.

"My mother said that we were going to raise two pigs this year, and I picked two little white piglets at Widow Ma's house today. After a pause, he said, "Shujie also picked one, saying that she would put it in our pigsty first, and then move it back when her house was covered." ”

Aunt Guo listened while eating, and when she heard this, she swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns in her mouth and said, "This matter was said earlier." After speaking, he looked at the three brothers and said, "Tomorrow you will go and help catch it." ”

There are three brothers in the Guo family, and they all have steamed buns in their mouths. I couldn't speak for a while. When he heard his mother call him, he quickly nodded his head twice.

Look at them and they agreed.

Aunt Guo turned her head again and asked Uncle Guo, who was sitting next to her, "How is it, did you go up the mountain today and find good wood?"

Uncle Guo, all the materials they used for carpentry, except for some of them, were prepared by themselves. They used wood that they had picked up in the mountains behind them.

At this time of year, it's time for them to choose wood and stock up on it.

Today, Uncle Guo took his three sons to the mountains to choose wood.

I walked a long way over the mountains and mountains, and when I came back, I carried two more, which made my brother tired and hungry, and now he just cares about stuffing steamed buns into his mouth, and he has no time to speak.

Uncle Guo heard the question, and replied: "There are a few good ones, and it will be enough to get this year's wood back." Oh, yes! I saw a small jar of basswood, and I'll get it back one day and get you two good cutting boards to use. ”

When Aunt Guo heard the basswood cutting board, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Can you get a few? You give me two more so that I can give them away." ”

Uncle Guo agreed: "Okay." ”

After that, the three Guo brothers, who were half-full, began to discuss the wood on the mountain.

Several daughters-in-law are also coaxing children, feeding children, feeding children.

Even the children of Guo San's sister-in-law sat in his mother's arms, holding a cabbage gang in her hand, and ate deliciously.

…………

Oh...... Oh...... Oh...... Oh...

… Huh-huh...... Huh-huh......

Fortunately, the sows were driven to the yard and tied to the stones with ropes, otherwise they would have to bite people with a loud scream.

The three little piglets, in this howling sound, were put into a sack by the Guo family and carried back to his pigsty.

They are also bold, catching the piglets on their backs and trotting home, for fear that the sow will jump out of the empty space and give them a bite.

It is said that the black sow of the horse widow's family can fight with the two big wolf dogs in the village, and the two dogs can't pinch it.

When they got home and threw themselves into the pigsty, they breathed a sigh of relief.

In a strange place, the three little piglets, who were still very unaccustomed to running back and forth in the pigsty, wanted to find their companions.

Sister-in-law Guo went to give the piglet and food.

Zhou Shujie leaned on the wall of the pigsty and watched for a while, and when he saw that they were familiar with the venue, he didn't run around.

Sister-in-law Guo came over and poured the pig food into the trough.

They went to the pig trough to eat.

Zhou Shujie went home with peace of mind, took the money for a while, and went with Sister-in-law Guo to buy pigs for Widow Ma.

After they left, the piglets welcomed their little guests again.

That is, Guo Ping, Guo An and Xiao Guo Juan.

They were afraid that Guo Juan would be too short to look at, so they specially brought her a small bench.

After the three children played here for a while, they were called back by their grandmother, Aunt Guo.

The three piglets in the pigsty also have their names.

Aunt Guo's two are called "Da Bai" and "Er Bai", and the one from Zhou Shujie's family is named "Little Black" by Guo Juan.

After two days, it was Zhou Shujie and Aunt Guo's turn to sow wheat.

This time, Brother Tuesday helped her look at the planter, she just looked at the wheat seeds in the field, and when she added seeds to the planter, she helped her second brother carry the bag.

After the wheat is planted, the land will be planted two-thirds of the way, and there are still some mountains left in the north, and I can't be busy for a few days when I am planting some corn and soybeans.

Besides, it is still a partnership with the uncle's Aunt Guo's family.

There is a saying that is not called "more people have great power", this person loves to work more, and less people are better to eat.

If Zhou Shujie is asked to plant corn in a pit by herself, and she can't do the work, then she will be bored with it.

She didn't go to the ground two days ago, and she wasn't idle.

At home, I finished turning over the back garden.

The potato seeds are also cut and mixed with plant ash, and they are ready to be planted while they are ready to sprout.

After planting wheat today, tomorrow we will start to plant corn together, first planting Zhou Shujie's family, then Uncle Zhou's family, and finally Aunt Guo's family.

After dinner in the evening, she lay down and went to bed before it was dark.

She has to save more strength for tomorrow, and besides, she has to get up early tomorrow.

…………

As soon as the day dawned, the rooster crowed.

Zhou Shujie got up, she put on the patched work clothes, and put the long braids behind her head.

Packed up and walked to the outhouse.

Wash your hands, wash your face, knead your dough, and steam a pot of white flour steamed buns.

Scooped half a bowl of cornmeal, and boiled half a bowl of cornmeal porridge with the water used to steam steamed buns.

From the pickle jar, take out a piece of mustard garda, wash and shred, fry a little chili oil and pour it on top.

Today's breakfast is finished.

Zhou Shujie, finished eating in three or two. I also warmed some rice in the pot for my mother-in-law, who had not yet risen.

She filled a jug of water with a jug, so that she could take it and drink it when she was thirsty.

By the time she had brought the pickaxe, water, and a bunch of pots to the gate.

On Tuesday, Brother also drove the ox cart to pull the family over.

In a nutshell, have you eaten?

I'm done.

If you say hello to this kind, you will quietly carry the corn seeds that will be used today in the warehouse to the car.

At this time, Uncle Guo's house next door also put on a carriage and beckoned someone to get into the car with the guys.

The carriage was ahead of the horse, and the ox cart followed closely behind, but it did not follow, and was left far behind.

When Zhou Shujie and the others arrived at the ground, Brother Guo, who arrived first, had already begun to dig the pit with pickaxes.

So they hurried out of the ox cart and poured a tray of corn seeds in a small pot.

Ann the number of three corn kernels in each pit and point seeds into the pit.

One foot in the ditch, one foot on the ridge platform to rub the soil, bury the pit where the seeds have been lit and step on the soil tightly.

There are three Guo brothers and two Zhou brothers.

These five strong laborers dug a pit in front.

Zhou Shujie and Sister-in-law Guo are following the idea.

To see who is tired, Uncle Guo and Uncle Zhou will also take it over and shave a few times.

In this way, in the morning, the eight acres of barren mountains and land were planted with corn.

At noon, they went back to their respective homes to eat ready-made meals, and they didn't rest, took the seeds and the guys, and went to the mountain wasteland of Uncle Zhou's house.

There are more than 10 acres of mountain wasteland where his family wants to grow corn.

It is estimated that I can't finish it in the afternoon, and I can do as much as I can, and the rest will come tomorrow.

These mountain wastelands were all opened by their own families on the mountains after the land was divided two years ago, and in some places there are even tree roots.

The mountain wasteland of Zhou Shujie's house was opened by someone at home when the pillar came back.

A total of 16 acres were opened, in addition to the eight acres of corn, there were eight acres of land reserved for soybeans, which were easy to use to beat soybean oil in autumn.
