Chapter 18: Planting Chrysanthemums (2)
Li Zhu looked at Brother Li Hai, looked at the Deng family, and shook his head in embarrassment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBrother Li Hai is young after all, and when he heard that he couldn't play, he immediately pouted. Deng Shi looked at Li Hai's brother from an eager expression to a turtle melon-like expression, and sighed: "The mountain is more dangerous, next year, my mother's body will be neat, Binbin will be one year old, let's go up the mountain to enjoy the chrysanthemum together." Now, pack up your books and play in the yard with your father. "Children's emotions come and go faster, as long as they have to play, they don't actually pick and choose. After hearing this, Brother Li Hai happily agreed.
Li Zhu nodded, took Li Hai out of the wing, and planted chrysanthemums with Li Yu. Li Yu and Li Zhu acted separately, Li Yu went to the edge of the field and dug up some manure soil, while Li Zhu went to the thatched house to dig a small bucket of dung. After Li Zhu dug up the dung, he took a hoe and opened the ground in the courtyard near the window. In order to prevent the smell of feces from wafting into the house, Li Zhu dug one meter deep and buried the dung in the ground to eliminate the smell. Because of the lack of soil needed, Li Yu quickly came back with a load of soil.
Li Zhu taught Li Hai's brothers, and taught them to cut off the chrysanthemum stems to the ground and plant only their roots. While working, Li Zhu taught Li Hai how to dig a pit and plant and how to water. Li Hai's brother and his wife were children by nature, and happily wrote them down one by one, according to Li Zhu's teachings, and felt that this was really a good place to play, so the brothers silently wrote down the method, and received the future watering task.
Li Yu saw that he didn't have any work to do, so he went back to the room, grabbed a handful of chili seeds and sprinkled them in the corner, and said to Li Zhu: "It's a pity that you only planted more than 20 chrysanthemums in the yard this time. After hearing this, Li Zhu thought that this was really an idea, very good. asked Li Yu to help take care of Li Hai's brothers, and went out to dig some wild flowers, wild vegetables and the like. Li Yu responded. After Li Zhu went out, he beckoned Li to come over and help Li Zhu cook dinner.
At that time, Li Zhu came back with some grass seedlings. Li Zhu said while tidying up: "These three are trumpet flowers, planted under the window, and when they are big, I will build a shelf and let them climb up the windowsill." I don't know what this is, but I saw a small red and black fruit hanging on it and it looked very festive, so I dug one back. Wait for him to climb with the trumpet flower, so that it looks better. And this one I wanted to move back last year, and when it comes to winter, it blooms with small red flowers, so I dug one up and came back and planted it outside the cowshed. Li Yu nodded, and helped Li Zhu go to the thatched house to dig up some dung and come back.
Li Yu asked the Li Hai brothers to wash their hands, go to the stove to eat, and bring the green vegetables and the chicken soup stewed by Li Zhu in the small pot to the Deng family, while the Li Yu brothers took advantage of the faint light to bring back the seedlings and an unknown flower seed that Li Zhu brought back. Li Zhu casually sprinkled green onions in the space between flowers.
After all the work was done, Li Yu went back to the room to eat as usual. After Li Zhu returned to the room, Deng Shi and his children were sitting at the kang table and waiting for him to come back for dinner. Li Zhu hurriedly said: "Didn't you not have to wait?" I'm hungry now. ”
Deng said: "You are working, I haven't done anything, there is no reason why I am eating, you have nothing to eat." Okay, now you can move the chopsticks. Li Hai had just drunk a bowl of chicken soup, and he was not too hungry, so when he moved his chopsticks, he picked up the bowl and ate it slowly. Li Zhu looked at it and nodded, feeling that his children were good, and they knew etiquette at the dinner table, and they would not gobble up like other children, as if there was no food at home. In fact, Li Zhu has a good idea that his own children are all good, and Li Hai is not hungry at this time, of course, he swallows slowly one by one.
Early the next morning, Uncle Zhang came over with a basket on his back and a cage of chickens. Li Zhu invited Uncle Zhang into the wing room and said, "Uncle Zhang, the chicken has been bought, you can notify me, and I will go over to get it, how embarrassed is it for you to carry it all the way over." ”
After Uncle Zhang put down the chicken, he said with a smile: "I have to get up early in the morning to pick up dung, this is not a passerby, I came by the way." Don't waste time. Deng said: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Uncle Zhang smiled: "You're welcome." Min'er, I went to town yesterday and heard that your brother was a lifter, and your family is really amazing. The one that grows is the star phase of Wenqu. Uncle Zhang stroked his sparse beard and said, "Your house was old and lively yesterday." When your mother saw me, she asked me to bring a message to your house. so that ye may not be anxious. Your mother said that you are in confinement, and when your confinement is over, the whole family will congratulate you. Deng nodded hurriedly. Although Deng already knew about his eldest brother's high school, he was still crying with joy after hearing the exact news at this time. Li Zhuli was also happy next to him. Brother Li Hai was woken up by the sound, dressed himself, and prepared to go down to the kang to wash. After Hamahama was woken up, he moved his hands and feet, and the right was considered a morning exercise. Hamahama reached out and touched the toes, he was still a baby's body, his body was soft, and he had to exercise more now.
Uncle Zhang said: "Zhu'er, you gave me one or two or five hundred yuan, the chicks in the town who can pick male and female are Lu Wenqian, and those who can't pick male and female are four yuan, I am in charge, and I choose the chicks that can not pick male and female." I caught three hundred chicks for your family and came back. A total of 1,000 dollars were spent. After speaking, Uncle Zhang took out three hundred dollars from his underwear pocket and said, "There are still three hundred dollars left." This chicken coop is given by the chicken seller, and it is not counted as money. ”
Li Zhuwei took the money, thanked Uncle Zhang, and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you so much, I shouldn't have annoyed you anymore." But you see, the eldest brother has just been lifted, and Chongyang is almost here. My family has just been divided, nothing has been prepared, and I can't do without people at this time, let's add enough silver to you, you can help buy some congratulatory gifts and gifts to send to my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's house? There are also some gifts and pastries for our family. After hearing this, Uncle Zhang said happily: "Medium! This becomes. Giving a gift to the old man is not something that anyone can give. I'll go and talk to Old Man Yu and make him envious. Ha, you will have to testify to me then. Li Zhu hurriedly replied, and then went to the Deng family's dowry cabinet and took out one or two more than two hundred yuan. As soon as Uncle Zhang received the money, he wanted to turn around and say goodbye, but he was afraid that Li Zhu's family would regret it, so he turned around and said to Li Zhu again and again: "I'll do this for you, I will definitely win, you don't want to ask someone else." Li Zhu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, our family will definitely no longer entrust people." Look, I've given you both of the silver, and I don't have a second share of the money to trust the second person, right? Uncle Zhang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, touched his beard, and said, "That's the case, do you remember." And he hurried away.
