Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old Tang Head Holding His Breath

Tang Qinger persevered and sandwiched another piece of meat from the dish to her father, if you don't eat it, I will keep clipping it for you, seeing that my daughter is also stubborn, Tang Tiezhu has no choice, he put it in his mouth and ate it, and his mouth still said: "It's delicious, the meat that my daughter sandwiched for me is more fragrant than what I usually eat." ”

Li Shi said very unpleasantly to the two of you coming and going, perseverance: "Day by day, I know that I feel sorry for your father, and I forgot that your father walked past you a few days ago,"

Tang Tiezhu didn't expect his mother-in-law to mention this stubble, and said very uncomfortably: "You person, what are you doing when you are eating," he secretly looked at his daughter, and saw that she had a smile on her face, not angry at all, and quietly glared at her mother-in-law.

Li pretended not to see it, and just as a few little babies also came back from the house, Li hurriedly beckoned and said, "Hurry up and come over for dinner, there is meat tonight,"

The babies are the age of gluttony, and they all trotted to the dinner table, regardless of whether they were given food or not, they directly picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the meat, Tang Fei'er is a girl, her heart is more sensitive, she knows that this is not her own home, and she doesn't dare to take the initiative to come forward to pick up the meat, just put some mushrooms in the bowl, Li looked more distressed, picked up the chopsticks and gave Fei'er a piece of meat, Fei'er said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I don't eat meat," the voice was small, but her eyes were staring at the meat.

"You kid, what's polite at your uncle's house, just like your brother Shi eats a lot of meat and eats a lot, otherwise there will be no more dishes in the future,"

The tiger head didn't care about this, and opened his mouth and said: "Sister, I want to eat meat, hurry up and give me meat,"

Tang Fei'er looked at the faces of the people on the table, and everyone did not change their faces, so she was relieved to put meat on the tiger's head, and she relaxed herself and started eating the meat.

Tang Tiezhu was not idle after eating, he carried the head standing at the door, and went to the open space in the backyard to plan, Tang Qinger has always felt that this house is very good in terms of geographical location and space size, especially the vacant land in the backyard, about one acre of land, because Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiexiong brothers both built houses in this place, so this house and the land in the backyard are half of the family.

Her father was an idle man, and when he saw that it was not yet dark, he was ready to plow the plot of land in the backyard and plant some potatoes, beans, cowpeas, cucumbers, eggplants and other vegetables.

Tang Qing'er saw that her mother had also eaten, and was about to get up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, you rest, I'll get these things,"

Li Shi is really tired, he has to hold his waist when he stands up, see that there is nothing wrong with him, and go to the backyard like a housekeeper, since he has dug the ground in the backyard, he will plant potatoes tonight, and he will worry about planting early.

After Tang Qing'er cleaned up, she watched her mother take out the potatoes and cut them into pieces, Tang Qing'er asked inexplicably, "Mother, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Shi continued to move in his hand without raising his head and said, "I'm going to plant the peeled potatoes in the ground for a while,"

Tang Qing'er watched her mother actually peel the potatoes that had just sprouted, and she had to plant them directly in the ground, and pretended to ask casually: "Mother, doesn't this kind of potato have to wait for the potatoes to sprout, and then cut the sprouted place into pieces and plant them in the ground?" ”

"Yes, I picked these potatoes on purpose, these vegetables just popped up and nodded, just to make potato seeds,"

"Mother, you don't wait for the potato sprouts to grow in the ground when they are bigger, if you plant like this, there are a lot of potatoes that may not grow in the ground," Tang Qing'er looked at her mother's expression of disbelief, and said: "Mother, you also know that I love to read agricultural books, and that's what the book says, when planting potatoes, potato sprouts should grow to an inch long, and there are green leaves planted in the ground,"

"Really, the book still says this, so how can I cut these neatly," After listening to the girl's words, Li no longer peeled potatoes, but worried about what to do with her half-pot of potatoes.

Tang Qing'er smiled and said: "Mother, don't be afraid, we will stay for these potatoes tomorrow to eat, and the matter of planting potatoes will be wrapped up in me, the potatoes I grow must be better than those you plant, and there are more potatoes in the autumn, and the book will not deceive." Tang Qing'er once again used the agricultural book as a shield.

Planting potatoes this time can be said to kill two birds with one stone, that is, she can grow potatoes and secretly grow some mushrooms, so that her father and mother will not find out, but what do you need to get to grow fresh mushrooms, and see if you can find any way in the book at night.

To Tang Qing'er's disappointment, the book and wrote about the mushroom cultivation method, Tang Qing'er could only think of his own way, and accidentally thought of a sentence: flowers are inserted in cow dung, whether it is modern or ancient, as long as people hear this sentence is to represent the meaning of irony, but today I think that "a flower is inserted on cow dung" This is too good, too philosophical, flowers can not only draw nutrients from cow dung, become fat, and cow dung can be fully utilized because of flowers, So that the cow dung is not so smelly in the eyes of people, which can be regarded as mutual benefit!

Thinking so, let Qing'er think of a way, while her father and mother went to work in the field during the day, she chopped the straw that had been placed for a winter with a knife, picked up some chickens, ducks, pigs and cow dung on the road from the village, dissolved them with water and mixed them together, boiled some hot water and splashed them on it, and then piled these up half a meter high, picked up a small shovel and spread the fine soil, this pile is not very big, for fear of attracting the attention of her father, she made a total of four piles, all of which were piled up in a sunny and ventilated place, if nothing else, mushrooms can grow in a week, these are Tang Qing'er's own thoughts, Whether or not you can grow mushrooms depends on the will of God.

Tang Qing'er has been very busy these days, busy cooking for her father, busy cleaning up the house, busy picking up dung, busy planting mushrooms, and when she was free, she remembered that the potatoes had not been planted yet, and hurriedly looked at the potatoes that were specially placed in the house at a higher temperature, and all of them emitted very big bean sprouts, taking advantage of this afternoon's fineness, she picked up a knife and began to peel the potatoes, each potato piece had a bean sprout on half an inch, half an hour later, Tang Qing'er picked up these peeled potato sprouts and went to the backyard to plant, the distance between each potato was about thirty centimeters, Tang Qing'er was afraid that the potatoes would be too close, and the roots would compete for water when they grew up.

After planting the land at the foot of Tang Tiezhu Mountain, he helped his mother-in-law to plant seedlings, and the married men and women of this era did not pay much attention to the difference between men and women in the field or did not allow other men to see their feet, only unmarried men and women paid special attention to these rituals.

A few days later, the land of Tang Tiezhu's brothers was planted, and the two of them went to the main house to take a look, if they didn't finish planting, the two helped for a few days, they didn't let the mother-in-law follow, and they really felt a little sorry for their mother-in-law.

Before the two brothers entered the hospital, they heard the third and fourth arguing in the yard, and the third had moved to Tang Tiezhu's original home, standing at the door and saying to the fourth: "Your family's land is planted, so you will help our father plant the land, you don't know that your third sister-in-law is going to give birth to a baby in more than half a month, and it is the time to be inseparable from people,"

"Let our mother look at it, what is the matter with you a big man here," the fourth child is not happy, why does he not have to work when his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and our father's land is not his own, why should the four sons let him do it alone.

Old man Tang saw that the two sons had been arguing for a long time, and said angrily: "I don't need you, I will do it alone," and ignored them, and the only son went to the field.

Old man Tang lowered his head and was angry and didn't see the eldest and second child outside the courtyard, he continued to walk into the field angrily, Tang Tiezhu and the brothers glanced at each other and decided not to enter the yard, but followed their father directly to the field, and there was still a short section to the old man Tang's field, Tang Tiezhu shouted in the back: "Dad, we are coming,"

Old man Tang saw the eldest and second man striding towards him with a head, his eyes gradually blurred, and when they were about to be beside him, he turned around to look at his own land, his eyes regained his clarity, and he said behind their backs: "Your land is all planted,"

"Yes, Dad, the land of both of our families is finished, so I hurriedly came to see you, how many have not been planted, my second brother and I will help you get it,"

"Well, let's go," Old Donald said nothing, and led them into the field.

Today, after the land at home was planted, Li Shibi did not go to the main house, but went home early, and saw that the girl was holding the clothes in the wooden basin, obviously going to the river to wash the clothes, and stopped her and said: "The clothes are placed here, and the mother will wash them."

"No need, just these few clothes, I'll wash them by the river for a while,"

"I heard my mother say, after a while, you take a few cakes and a pot of water to your grandfather's land, your father helped your father farm the land, I'm worried that your father hasn't even drunk saliva until now, and it's inconvenient for your mother to go, so you can go for your mother,"

Tang Qing'er wanted to ask: Why did his father help his father farm the land, didn't he have a third uncle and a fourth uncle, why did he need her father to do it, but seeing that Li didn't want to say anything more, he couldn't help but ask.

Qing'er couldn't remember the land of his grandfather's house a little, and vaguely remembered that it was on a field dam not far from the right side of the road in the main house, and she followed her memory to the field dam, and sure enough, she saw her father, second uncle, and his father digging a hole in the ground?

Tang Qing'er walked to the head of his grandfather's house and shouted, "Dad, I'm here to bring you water,"

The noon sun was particularly poisonous, the three of them came out of the field, the back of the shirt was already soaked, Tang Qing'er poured a bowl of water for one of them, they drank it in one breath and felt a little unquenched, Tang Qing'er gave them another bowl, let them take a breath and rest, lifted the cloth on the basket and said: "Master, my mother asked me to send you some cakes, I am afraid that you have planted the land all morning, and you are hungry and have no strength to farm in the afternoon,"

Tang Tiezhu took a piece of cake and sent it to her father first, and then took a cake and started to eat it, the second brother has been eating Tang Qing'er's cooking during this time of farming, and he doesn't need the eldest brother to say, he took out a piece of cake directly from the basket and ate it with this water.

Tang Qing'er saw that his father's face was not good, and even when she came, he was stingy and gave her a smile, Tang Qing'er didn't care, she saw her father slowly eating cakes and said, "Master, what about the third uncle and the fourth uncle?" Why didn't you see them,"

Tang Qing'er deliberately put these two people in front of his father, it must be that the third uncle and the fourth uncle did not come to help them farm, so her father and second uncle came to help, where did the old man Tang know Tang Qing'er's careful thoughts, and said with a dark face: "Dead,"
