The ox cart walked slowly, swaying for half an hour before arriving home.

On Tuesday, Brother helped unload half a bag of wheat from the cart and put it in the barn before driving the ox cart home.

Sister-in-law Guo and Zhou Shujie also said hello and entered their own yards.

As soon as Zhou Shujie opened the door of the outhouse, he felt that the house was very quiet.

A few steps to the door of the inner room, gently knocked on the inner room door to see, it turned out that the mother-in-law and the child were lying on the kang and fell asleep.

She laughed and closed the door again.

Let them sleep well!

I didn't plan to go into the house and quarrel with them.

After looking around the outhouse, I opened the bowl shelf and looked at it, but there was nothing in it.

I reached out and touched the lid of the pot again, but it was still warm, and it seemed that my mother-in-law had given her the food to heat in the pot.

I scooped up the water and washed my hands and face, and without entering the house, I brought out the food and put it on the pot table to eat it briefly.

After filling my hungry stomach, I remembered that there was still my mother-in-law!

I forgot to bring it in, and I put it in it to let the sun shine!

I opened the door and walked to the door of the barn, and found a bunch of mothers-in-law at the leftover wheat bags for today.

It's all wilted in the sun.

I took it into the house, found a large basin and added a few more scoops of water to it, and pressed it down with my hand, so that it was all soaked in the water, and it was soaked in good bubbles, and it could be eaten at night.

When I was done, I stood there and thought about whether there was anything I was doing in a hurry at home.

There were a few children's clothes to wash in the morning.

Looking up, I saw a slip of clothes on the clothesline, including children, hers, and my mother-in-law's own.

It seems that she has been washed by her mother-in-law, so she has no work.

When he arrived at the barn, he took out a four-toothed fork and went to the back garden

Zhou Shujie thought about it anyway, let's go to the garden.

You'll have to do it sooner or later, so get it out while you can.

After a few days of planting soybeans, I won't be able to get busy.

Step on the fork into the soil, dig down a large piece of soil, throw it in front, and then use the back of the fork to pat the large piece, and then shoot it up after a few strokes.

In such a land, the vegetable seedlings planted can grow well.

If the ground is too hard, the vegetable seedlings will not grow, let alone bear fruit, and they will bear very small fruits.

Whew, I felt a little tired, so I stuck my fork into the ground, intending to straighten my waist and rest.

When Zhou Shujie saw the place covered by his son on the corn stalks, he remembered that he hadn't seen these side dishes for several days.

Walked over and lifted the corn stalk to take a look.

Wow, a piece of green, especially watery side dishes, although they are staggered by the corn stalks, there is no image, but you can also see what kind of dishes they are!

Zhou Shujie, I didn't expect these vegetables to grow so fast, so she planted them for ten days!

It's as tall as a finger, and it makes you want to eat it when you look at it.

She squatted there, picking at a dense spot and pulling it down.

Small radish vegetables, small cabbage, small lettuce, small stinky vegetables.

I plucked everything, but the coriander grew too small, just three leaves, so I didn't touch it, and left it for a long time.

The soil on the root of the vegetable was shaken clean, and there was no need to pinch the roots, so I took it into the house and soaked it in water to wash it, and I could eat it directly at night.

Zhou Shujie picked the clean vegetables and put them in the shade of the house.

Save the sun and wilt the single.

When she returns to the house after finishing her work, she will take it home together.

She stood in the vegetable patch and felt the current temperature.

It shouldn't be frosting, right?

She wanted to remove the corn stalks and make them grow in a figurative way.

Think again.

Forget it, let's put it on top!

If it really snows, it will freeze to death and it will be white, what a pity that you can't eat it, anyway, they are not afraid of pressure, at most they are not good.

He slapped the dust left over from the wheat planting on his body, and continued to turn up the garden with a four-toothed fork.

The patched clothes on Zhou Shujie's body are still the clothes she used to work at home in previous years!

In the morning, I wore wheat and sowed wheat for a while, so I didn't want to make a noise to the child, so I didn't go into the house to change clothes.

Now, I think it's just right to wear it to work.

Zhou Shujie was angry again, feeling that the child should wake up, so he put down the fork and took the vegetables out of the garden, wanting to go back to the house to see the child.

Although she doesn't have so much milk now.

But I didn't eat this afternoon, and I felt that my chest was particularly swollen.

She took a large pinch of vegetables and went out of the garden.

When I passed by the window, I was spotted by the children in the house.

The two little ones shouted excitedly: "Mother, mother." "I climbed up the windowsill and tried to stand up while holding on to the windowsill.

After working hard for a long time, because his legs were weak, he didn't stand up in the end, so he hurriedly slapped the window with his hand.

Zhou Shujie was not in a hurry to enter the house, so he stood outside the window and put his hand on the child's handprint, and palmed the two of them across the window.

I teased the child outside the window for a while, and when I saw that the child was really anxious, I hurried into the house.

When I went to the field, I first put the big small dish in my mother-in-law and soaked it together.

He scooped up water and washed his hands, and then he entered the house.

As soon as she entered the house, the two children saw their mother and threw themselves at her.

Zhou Shujie was so frightened that she hurriedly called her mother!

"Mother...... Mother, please help me stop it, I am covered with dirt. ”

After speaking, he quickly took off his shirt and put it on the stool on the side.

Only then did he walk to the edge of the kang and pick up the two children who were in the arms of his mother-in-law.

Tapping his finger on their little heads, he said, "Look at your anxious appearance, give my mother a surprise." I'm in such a hurry, don't you miss my mother!?"

The two children are not hungry now, but they are so anxious because they haven't seen her mother for a long time.

Therefore, Zhou Shujie endured the swelling pain, held the two children in his arms, and coaxed them to talk one by one on his lap.

Although they said a lot of things, she didn't understand at all.

But as if he understood, he chatted with the two children, and he sang and spoke very energetically.

The mother-in-law sat on the side, smiling at the interaction of the three of them.

Laughing and smiling, tears welled up in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "It's good to be able to see her grandchildren and help her daughter-in-law." She felt good that she was awake!

Actually, there is still a wish in the old lady's heart.

That's what she wants to see her son.

She especially thought that when she was sick, her son was still not sensible, although she also had the impression in her mind that her son had grown up and married a daughter-in-law.

But he couldn't see his face clearly, and he was very touching.

She wanted to live well, try to wait for her son to come back, take a good look and remember what her son looked like now, and wait until she could learn from the old man.

The old lady was sad alone for a while, and she didn't notice while her daughter-in-law was talking to her grandson and granddaughter. Quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow his eyes.

A smile was back on his face.

Zhou Shujie, accompanied the two children to play for a while and grabbed the grip ~ shaking his head, teasing and flying, this kind of small game.

I played until the two children were hungry, and then I took them in my arms and ate them to their heart's content.

As soon as she finished feeding the child and put it on the kang, she saw Sister-in-law Guo push open the door and walk in through the window.

Zhou Shujie hurriedly said to her mother-in-law: "Mother, you help me take a look at the child, and I will go to greet Sister-in-law Guo." ”

Mother-in-law's arrival: "Go, go"

Zhou Shujie showed the child to her mother-in-law, and walked out, she just opened the door of the outhouse, and sister-in-law Zhou also walked to the door.

smiled and said to Zhou Shujie: "Shujie, hurry up! Didn't you say last time that you want to raise pigs this year, our village widow's house sells piglets today, let's go and have a look!"

Zhou Shujie's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go into the house and talk to my mother-in-law." ”

Sister-in-law Guo waved her hand and said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”

Zhou Shujie walked into the house quickly, picked up the shirt that the leader dragged down and put it on his body, and said to his mother-in-law while wearing: "Mother, I want to catch a little piglet this year, Sister-in-law Guo came to tell me that Widow Ma's family sells pigs today, and I will go with her to see if you can help me watch the children at home." ”

The mother-in-law looked at Zhou Shujie and asked, "Our family catches pigs, and we don't have a pigsty at home, where do you put it?"

Zhou Shujie smiled indifferently, and said as she walked out: "It's okay, mother, I have already told Aunt Guo that I will put it in her pigsty first, and then move it back when our family has time to finish building." ”

She replied like this, and walked out without waiting for her mother-in-law's answer.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Sister-in-law Guo and the two of them walking together to the house of the widow Ma, who sold piglets.

Walking on the road, Sister-in-law Guo also said: "People will sell it at noon, we don't know, you said that we are only going now, is it not good that people have finished picking." ”

Zhou Shujie also said as he walked: "It's okay, let's buy the good ones, and the good ones are waiting for other families, and there are still a few pig farmers in our tunzi." Anyway, I don't know whether it's good or bad, I have to rely on your sister-in-law to help me choose. ”

Sister-in-law Guo agreed and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll pick a big fat pig for you when my sister-in-law kills the pig for the New Year, just ask me to eat two more bites of meat." Hahaha!"

Zhou Shujie also smiled and said, "Hehehe...... No problem!"

It only took five minutes for the two of them to walk from the west end of their house to the east end.

The horse widow's family is a street trip to them, and they live in the second house in Dongtou, and her family has two old sows, and they have no less cubs this year.

I heard that an old white sow gave birth to twelve piglets. The other black one actually dropped fourteen.

When Sister-in-law Guo led Zhou Shujie into the yard, there were still two people in her yard picking pigs there!

Zhou Shujie didn't know how this pig was good or bad.

Just followed behind Sister-in-law Guo and listened to what she said about how to pick pigs.

Sister-in-law Guo's mouth is a set of sets, what looks at the waist, how long it looks, looks at the height of the limbs, looks at the mouth, and looks at the strong.

In addition to being set in advance, among the remaining dozen or so, Zhou Shujie picked a black piglet under the black sow under the guidance of Sister-in-law Guo.

When Sister-in-law Guo came, her mother-in-law Guo Shi's told her that she was going to catch two pigs this year, so she picked two white piglets.

Both of them set the little piglets, said the price of 30 yuan each, and went home.

This little piglet has to wait for the man in the family to catch them.

When catching pigs, the master first has to drive the sow far away, and even tie it to a tree with a rope. Otherwise, it will bite the person who catches the pig because of the protection of the cubs.

This is not a lie, every year there are people who are bitten by sows.

As for the pig money, just wait until tomorrow to catch the pig and then send it.

returned to the west, and Zhou Shujie did not go home.

She followed Sister-in-law Guo directly into the courtyard of Aunt Guo's house.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he said hello to the people in the courtyard and went to the pigsty at the back.

The two men cleared out the garbage inside, hugged two more dry wheat stalks, and put them in the pig's nest.

After a busy day, I finally put away the pigsty, and I am waiting to catch it tomorrow.

When Zhou Shujie returned home, he added it to the warehouse.

I found all the beans and wheat bran left over from last autumn, folded some of them out in a bag, and put them at the door of the warehouse.

Wait for tomorrow, so that I can take it to Aunt Guo's house to feed her little pig.

Each family's things are not rich, and she is very happy that the pig has a place to let go.

You can't feed the pigs, let Aunt Guo out!

Therefore, she prepared it all in advance.
