Chapter Ninety-Two: Spring Blossoms, Buying Cattle
Blowing red peach blossoms, blowing green willows.
Woke up the frog and blew the swallow.
These are two of my favorite lyrics in the song "Spring Breeze Blowing".
It accurately describes what the beginning of spring looks like.
Zhou Shujie sat on the kang in the house, and he could hear the whining wind outside, this wind must have five levels at best, and six or seven winds at most.
It's no wonder that the four monsters in the Northeast will say that "the window paper is pasted outside", which has to paste the window paper inside, and it is estimated that two winds will have to blow it down.
To say that such a strong wind did not stop the curiosity of the old peasants.
As soon as the tractor came back last night, it was an instant sensation, and the whole village was talking about it.
One to ten, ten to hundred, all know, today will be installed in the production team compound, every family in the village has people to see the lively, some people even went to a gang, than every time the general meeting of the members to the more complete.
It is estimated that no one in Zhou Shujie's family went out.
This howling wind not only made it cold outside, but also cold inside the house.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Zhou Shujie went down to the ground and hugged the firewood.
Plug in the fork, dare to lead the stove to burn the fire wall, so strong wind if you don't fork the fork, maybe you have to run out of chimneys. (The meaning of the chimney is on fire)
Now, the two children have been more than nine months, almost ten months, and their growth rate has also caught up with ordinary children, and they have begun to crawl all over the kang like the children of Guo Sange's family, which may be twenty days younger than others.
Fortunately, in this life, my mother-in-law has woken up and can now help her look after the child, otherwise she would have to take advantage of the child's sleep and find time to work.
In the previous life, the two children were not in good health and developed slowly, and by the time they were seven or eight months old, Zhou Shujie's milk was not enough to eat at all. Although there is rice soup, then they are also hungry half a day every day, don't say that he can't climb, even if he can climb, he doesn't have much strength, and he can't climb after a few crawls.
Looking at the children crawling on the kang, Zhou Shujie is very satisfied with the current living situation, and she is happier than she found those gold treasures.
Zhou Shujie sat there thinking nonsense, listening to the wind outside and the sound of the fire in the stove in the house, her eyes began to sink.
I rubbed my eyes with my hands and looked around the house, the child and my mother-in-law were sleeping peacefully on the kang, and the firewood in the underground stove was gone, and there was only a little bit of flickering coal.
She got up on the stove again and sniffed it carefully, making sure it didn't smell of smoke or cause carbon poisoning.
Zhou Shujie took a pillow with confidence, rested it on the edge of the kang, took off his shoes and slept at the feet of the two children.
Sleeping like this is tantamount to putting another lock on the children, saving them from waking up without making a sound, and crawling down the ground on their own, so that if they want to crawl to the edge of the kang, they will pass her first, and she will wake up naturally.
In fact, Zhou Shujie's sleep was very light, there was a strong wind outside, and she couldn't sleep, but she squinted shallowly for a while, and she woke up before a point.
Sitting there and waking up, thinking about what to eat at night?
Thinking about it, she felt that her mouth was tasteless, and she wanted to eat something tasteful, so she would go to eat a bowl of spicy tang or something in the next life!
Just think about it with a click, or make some sauerkraut dumplings at night, it's sour and delicious.
We are Mali people, and we will do it when we think about it. Put on your shoes and go to the ground, wash your hands and go to the sauerkraut jar to fish for sauerkraut.
Zhou Shujie drowned a large vat of sauerkraut, she and her mother-in-law didn't eat much, and more than half of them were given away.
Give some to Aunt Guo's family, and give some to her uncle's family, and now there will be five or six left. Take out a dumpling today, and the rest can be eaten for another half a month, and when the weather is hot in the future, the sauerkraut will not be able to hold.
Take out the sauerkraut and wash it twice, press it on the cutting board, first shred and then chop, and start chopping the dumpling filling.
She also didn't pay attention to the volume of the voice, because the children had been sleeping long enough, and they were just sleeping sticky now, unwilling to wake up.
Zhou Shujie was chopped here, the first to wake up was her mother-in-law, followed by the two children, hearing that the child woke up, she went into the house to take a look, and her mother-in-law saw that she had both hands occupied, so she asked her to be busy with her children.
As soon as she heard her mother-in-law say this, she smiled and went to work in the outhouse again, thinking, "It's good to have a mother-in-law!"
There are only two people in the family, and Dingtian can't eat much, so the meal is easier to make, and the above line for a while, wrapped forty large steamed dumplings, and so on put the steamed dumplings into the pot to boil, the time is a total of one and a half points.
After covering it for two minutes, it was considered a good meal when the pot was lifted.
Since there were no eggs, the two children were no longer steamed chicken cakes, and they had never served them.
When Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law were eating, they also surrounded them in the kang with quilts and let them crawl and play there.
Seeing that my mother and grandmother ate so deliciously, the two little guys were hungry for saliva, and they all wanted to come over because the quilt was too high.
Anxious: "Ahhh
"Ahhhh......h Ahh
was eating, Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law were stunned for a moment, she seemed to have heard her son call her mother just now, and turned her head to stare at her son in disbelief.
As soon as the son saw that she was looking at him, he immediately danced happily and continued to shout: "Ahh......h
Zhou Shujie's eyes turned red instantly, and she asked her mother-in-law with trembling lips: "Mother~Mother, didn't you hear, our steamed buns will call me mother!
In his previous life, his son only began to talk after he reached the age of one, and his words were not so neat after his second birthday.
The mother-in-law couldn't understand the sadness in her heart, because she didn't know that Zhou Shujie was a person who had lived two lives, and she just thought it was crying with joy!
He smiled and said, "Look at you, don't cry, you see that the children have scared you silly." ”
Zhou Shujie sniffed, wiped her tears, and looked up. Isn't it? The two children were so frightened that they stared at each other, and they didn't even dare to squeak.
Seeing the two children's round eyes, Zhou Shujie couldn't help but pop out again.
I didn't care about eating, so I got to the child, hugged my son first and then my daughter, kissed me fiercely, and kissed the little faces of the two children red.
The child thought his mother was playing around with them, and he was laughing and chattering.
Since then, Zhou Shujie has been very excited, and after picking up the table, she sat there and taught the children to call her mother.
She was happy when the child called her right, and her mother-in-law couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she saw it.
When the wind kills in the evening, her aunt and her sister-in-law come to visit the door, and she can't help but show off to others.
Aunt Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou also smiled and praised these two children for being smart and making things early in the future.
After that, Sister-in-law Zhou told them a few words about going to see the excitement today and watching the machinery in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters.
Zhou Shujie just listened with a smile and didn't interject.
Her mother-in-law was shocked and very happy when she heard this.
The old lady has seen a big scene in her life, she has seen a rickshaw and a car, but she has never seen a big car in this kind of place, and she is particularly surprised to hear it.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Shujie remembered about buying cattle.
I said to my aunt: "Auntie, the production team wants to sell cattle, but your family can't buy it." ”
The eldest uncle nodded and said, "We will talk about this before dinner today, and your uncle also said that he wants to buy a cow, but your second brother may have to get married this autumn, and I am afraid that this money will not be enough by then." (hesitation)
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Shujie said: "Then let's buy it in partnership, one person will pay half of it, and the cow will be placed in your house, and you can change the shift when you use it." ”
When Aunt Zhou heard Zhou Shujie's words, she didn't agree immediately, but looked at Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law with her eyes.
Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law is a rare person who understands, and when she saw her eldest aunt like this, she said: "Her eldest aunt, if your family wants to be interested, we will buy it together, yesterday Er Shujie discussed this matter with me, and I agreed." Even if you have to be a little tired and take care of the cow, we won't be stunned. ”
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she smiled and said, "That's good, since my mother agrees, then let's buy it together." What is not burdened, just like Shujie said, the cow will be put in my house, and you will squeak if you want to. ”
Sister-in-law Zhou, who was listening on the side, decided to buy a cow when she heard it, and she was very happy that it was a big guy after all.
Besides, if there is a cow in them, how much less effort can be exerted in them, and the summer farming work is much easier!
After chatting a few more words, Uncle Zhou has been thinking about buying cattle in her heart, and said that she would go home and talk to her uncle. It was not dark yet, so I led Sister-in-law Zhou's house.
