Chapter Seventy-Four: Surprise

The two of them arrived in Hanjiachong in the afternoon, but fortunately, they had the foresight to prepare dry food to eat on the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is still a long way to get to Yi's house, and it has been almost a month since she went out, Yi Huifen has never been away from home for so long, and she is in a hurry to go home at this time, so she refused the stay of the Yang family, she just took a short rest and went home.

After arriving home, she was naturally warmly welcomed by Sister Rong, and the snacks she brought also made her once again won the praise of "aunt is the best". But the biggest surprise was still waiting for her, and the second uncle told her that the rabbit had laid cubs a few days ago.

Because there has been no movement, everyone has been more negligent recently. In addition, recently, the family has been busy catching yellow eels in the morning and night, except for the routine of throwing some vegetable leaves into it every day, the two wild rabbits have not paid attention to it for a long time, until the day when the mother rabbit made a nest was found by the grandfather. At first glance, there are really a lot, there are 8 little cubs, pink and tender like a little mouse, their eyes are not open, and they are squeaking with their eyes closed.

Probably frightened when they first caught it, after a while the rabbits found that life was quite good, they didn't worry about food or shelter, and there were people waiting for them every day. This is not the only way to settle down and breed offspring. As a result, the first litter is a lot, remembering that the gestation period of rabbits is only one month, and the breeding cycle is only 40-50 days, even if they are allowed to develop freely, it is not a lot to count 2 months a litter a year. Yang Xiaobei squatted in front of the rabbit cage with a smile and looked at it for a long time, staring at the two rabbits anxiously before leaving.

Of course, dinner is a rich "big meal", and farmers rarely buy meat all year round except for the New Year's pigs during the New Year. Usually I eat what I have in my own vegetable garden. If there are guests coming, it is easy to solve when the weather is hot, and the river and lake, carrying a harpoon, will be more or less rewarding. Although it is public, no one will say anything if everyone eats a few by themselves. As for winter, isn't there bacon? If it's a distinguished guest, then it is indispensable to kill one of the old hens in the house. As the saying goes, "When a son-in-law comes to the door, the old hen scares her soul", which is the truth. Now people in the countryside don't have the concept of buying vegetables, and besides, even if you want to buy vegetables, no one sells them!

Now is the season of green and yellow, and the cabbage and radishes in the vegetable field are too old to eat, and the newly planted vegetables have planted the seeds. Nowadays, there are not as many abundant vegetable varieties as in later generations, so everyone eats with dried vegetables such as pickles, pickles, dried radish, and dried fish on weekdays. It is rare to eat a meal of fresh meat at this time, although it is to save several portions of stewed dried radish, everyone is very satisfied. The second aunt said with a smile, "They all say that bacon is delicious, and let me say that fresh meat is the best!"

Grandpa was drinking a little wine - if there is a good food, he must drink, which is the greatest enjoyment after hard work. Who makes his daughter filial, can think of ways to make money for the family, not to mention, go to school and bring himself cigarettes and wine? He is very beautiful in his heart, and it is rare to joke with his daughter-in-law, who usually has no good voice, "It's not the difference between fresh meat and bacon, it's the difference between having and not having it!"

Grandpa only went to private school for a few years, but his wisdom is something that Yang Xiaobei has always remembered. I remember that when I was a child, my family just bought a TV, and in order to catch up on dramas, she even held a rice bowl for dinner, and she couldn't wait to get into the TV when she saw it. Grandpa couldn't watch it anymore, and said, "It's crazy people who act, and it's fools who watch it." A word woke up the dreamer. She was shocked to realize that everything was fake, just a performance. Since then, her sanity has returned, and in the era of national dramas, she is the only one who has never been interested. Like Grandpa said, crying and laughing for something false, it's stupid.

Later, the conditions got better and better, and the big fish and meat were tired of eating. When my mother complained that the current dishes were not as delicious as before, my grandfather said meaningfully: "People will not get tired of eating only rice in this life, and when they are tired of eating, they will live to the end!" Grandpa is like this, no matter whether he is poor or rich, he never complains, and he will not get carried away. I don't care about any material requirements - except for two taels of soju and a pot of cigarette pouches, I don't want anything else.

So Yang Xiaobei remembered to bring him a handful of leaf cigarettes and a bottle of good wine. My aunts were the same, and every time they came back to see their father, they would buy some cigarettes and alcohol. Let grandpa enjoy it while working hard. But as a "little daughter", this is the first time he has received such filial piety, and he feels particularly gratified. I calculated that I would keep two catties of the captured eels for the children to eat tomorrow. Originally, this was nothing, but now it's not to sell for a dollar a catty, what is not delicious and you want to eat this bite? So even if I have caught a hundred catties by now, I haven't stayed to eat it once.

Not to mention these little things about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, it is now the end of March, the air is warm and warm, and it is time to sow seeds. In particular, these vegetables and fruits brought back by Yang Xiaobei are said to be foreign vegetables, because they are particularly precious, they have been carefully cultivated by the family.

The fertility of the land in the mountains is limited, so Yang Laohan has long turned over the land, prepared the cooked soil, and then picked it up and sprinkled it evenly in the ground after it is thoroughly irrigated with farmhouse fertilizer. Compared with the scientific allocation of various nutrient ratios of compound fertilizer in later generations, the current fertilizer source is only farmhouse fertilizer, and it is easy to burn the seeds when there are too many piles, so it takes a lot of effort to deal with it. The preparation in the field was almost done, and I specially waited for Yang Xiaobei to come back and plant the seeds. After all, they have never planted crops, so they still want to look at it with confidence.

Where will Yang Xiaobei really grow these crops? She will only eat, especially eat! But no matter how much she eats, she can't give her any hints. The only thing that can help is some of the instructions on the previous bag. She told her grandfather all again, as for how to actually operate, it still depends on her grandfather's rich experience to slowly explore.

Wheat is still grown in the plot. The only way to do this is to plant all the seeds in the garden. Anything else is good to say, but the watermelon has a large territory, and the vegetable garden is obviously not planted. There is also corn, even a small bag is quite a lot, and the corn is planted at a large distance, which requires more land. But the wheat won't ripen until June, I'm afraid I can't wait, and grandpa is more worried about this. This question is precisely one of the few that Yang Xiaobei can answer.

In later generations, many families planted watermelons as "interplanting", that is, they took out a piece of watermelon in the wheat field and planted the watermelon first. When the watermelon grows to the point where the vine is about to pull the vine, the wheat is ripe, and you can make room for the watermelon. This is also a good way for farmers to come up with in similar contradictions, sometimes interplanting cotton, or other crops, without delaying the agricultural time or delay, which is very economical. Yang Xiaobei has seen a lot outside, so he naturally knows this trick.
