Liu Jizong and Liu Zhengxing rested at home after breakfast for a while and then went out with a sickle, and when they left, they also brought Liu Zhengwen with them by the way, Liu Zhengwen's task this year is also very heavy, and all the rice ears in the field are counting on Liu Zhengwen to pick it up.

When Liu Jizong and Liu Zhengxing left, one person brought two baskets of rice, they first picked four baskets of rice to the drying field to occupy a seat, and then went to the field to cut rice, Aunt Liu and sister-in-law Liu first put away the dining table, the bowl was not washed first, only soaked, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also had to pick the rice to the drying field, first dried the rice harvested at home and then went home to wash the dishes and prepare for lunch.

After a while, there was only Liu Xiucai and Ah Miao and the little fat man left in the house, before leaving, Aunt Liu also told Ah Miao not to run around with the little fat man, Ah Miao was depressed for a few days, Aunt Liu was worried that no one at home was watching Sister-in-law Liu was left at home to watch the house, and she went to dry the millet alone, but some time ago, when Aunt Liu was able to survive alone, because there was not a lot of grain harvested at that time, until now, after harvesting more and more grain, she was a little struggling alone, Yesterday, after Miao was in a good mood, she said that she would plant flowers at home today, and the little fat man gave her a hand, Aunt Liu finally took Sister-in-law Liu away after confirming with Miao repeatedly, the family is too few, it seems that either this year before the year to help Zheng'an marry a daughter-in-law, so that someone will take care of the family next year, or hire another person, only she and her daughter-in-law are responsible for more than a dozen acres of rice, and it is really hard.

Before Aunt Liu left, she had taken out of the dark room those treasures of Ah Miao-potatoes, and was placed in the yard, Ah Miao poured out and carefully observed that she was very satisfied, although a few looked a little rotten, but most of them were still good, and even a few had slight signs of germination.

Ah Miao first instructed the little fat man to put the potatoes on the pumpkin rack in the yard one by one, so that they could not only receive sunlight but also avoid direct sunlight, in fact, whether this can make the potatoes sprout Ah Miao is still a little uncertain in his heart, but another method of soaking the potion and putting it on the sand bed to cultivate sprouts is even more impractical here, even if Ah Miao has great powers and asked the Liu family to help get the sand bed out, but where to find gibberellin? There is no gibberellin let alone soaking the potion, so this method does not work, then you can only try to put the potatoes in the sun to dry this method, although the germination rate is lower, but it can still sprout, these potatoes are grown on a potato seedling, so many potatoes, cut into pieces will be more, A Miao does not believe it, it is impossible to even grow a potato seedling.

After settling the potatoes can only be left to fate, how many buds can grow depends on luck, the potato sprouts can only rely on luck, then the other thing can indeed rely on their own, this thing is loosening the soil, the quality of the soil is related to the quality of the future growth of potatoes.

Potatoes like to grow in crisp loose soil, what Miao has to do now is to turn over the soil in the place where he grows potatoes, take out the stones and rhizomes and something, and keep the soil crisp and moist, these things are simple to say, and they are really hard things to do, and Ah Miao is only four years old, and his strength is even smaller.

But the best thing about Ah Miao is that she doesn't know how to write when she gives up, just do it, Ah Miao took the small hoe that Liu Jizong specially beat for her and began to do it in full swing.

The little fat man was fooled by Ah Miao for a while, and he also felt that what he was doing now was a big thing, so he held a small pot especially religiously and watered it carefully, yes, that's right, the little fat man is now assigned the task of watering, and he can't water too much, he just needs to keep it slightly moist, this degree is not easy to control, and the little fat man is in strict accordance with his aunt's instructions to water it little by little.

There is something to do time always flies quickly, Ah Miao feels that he has just dug for a while, Aunt Liu and Sister-in-law Liu have come back, look back at what they dug, this is only a little bit of a small place, I want to cry what to do, but after seeing the results of Ah Miao, Aunt Liu doesn't think so, Aunt Liu and Sister-in-law Liu When they returned home, they saw Ah Miao and the little fat man digging the ground and watering one by one, that is called a good cooperation, the little person holding a hoe is really cute and tight to dig the ground, but, There is not even a place to drain the water when digging like this?

"What are you doing?" Aunt Liu first put the question back in her stomach and asked.

"Dig the ground, and when you're done, bury the seeds." Seeing Aunt Liu coming back, Ah Miao stood up and replied.

"Qianya, what's wrong?" Aunt Liu just wanted to teach Ah Miao to dig out the drainage ditch first, but found that Liu Qian next door came to her house, but when she arrived at the door, she didn't enter the door, obviously she was embarrassed to say something, but she was embarrassed to say.

"Ah Miao Niang, my grandmother said...... Tell me to borrow a scythe. Liu Qian's voice was small, and she said in a slush, and her face turned red after speaking. There are only two sickles in her family, and it is not enough to cut rice, and there is strong labor in the family, but the two brothers have been hired out, but the money has been collected in the pocket by Liu Manfu, and the only people who really work in the field at home are her father and her uncle, and the aunt is with a few cousins who will not go to the ground, they can embroider, if they go to the field to harvest rice and get a rough hand, it will be terrible to break the cloth when the time comes, just like that, her aunt uses the money from embroidery to share this condition with Liu Manfu Niang and gets the right not to work in the field. And she and her mother had to go to the field to pick up ears of rice, go to the grain field to dry the grain, and her mother also took her sister with her.

Originally, Liu Manquan had saved enough money and wanted to add another hoe and sickle this year, but she didn't expect her milk to change the way to ask for money back from her father, how could the money come out of her milk purse, so the hoe and sickle at home are still so little, not enough at all, these days her father is using a rusty knife in the field, how can this kind of cut fast, but her milk will not think that it is because there is no sickle problem, her milk will only complain that her father is slow, the sickle is good for her uncle, that's all, Her uncle doesn't cut as much rice as her father every day, but her grandmother still scolds her father every day.

"Scythe, then I have to look for it, Shi damn it, you go to the house to find the girl." Aunt Liu knows when she looks at Liu Qian's appearance, the sound of scolding and scolding next door can be transmitted to her own side every day in the past two days, to say that Liu Manfu Niang next door is really good enough to pick the door, even a sickle is reluctant to fight and wants Liu Manfu to work, this is not to want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass.

"Sister Qian." Liu Qian heard Ah Miao call her, and gave Ah Miao a smile back, but there was bitterness in the laughter, and she felt even more sad when she saw the small hoe that Ah Miao was holding in her hand.

"Sister Miao, what are you doing?" Trying to suppress the sadness in her heart, Liu Qian walked up to Ah Miao and asked.

"Oh, I'm digging the ground."

"Are you going to grow vegetables? Do you grow pineapples? "Every household in Liujia Village will plant pineapple, and the pineapple here is actually the spinach of later generations, which can be eaten in winter at this time, and it is a rare touch of green in winter.

"Oh no, I'm going to grow something else." Ah Miao didn't tell Liu Qian that she planned to plant flowers, but Liu Qian's attention was not here now, so she didn't ask questions, just nodded.

At this time, Sister-in-law Liu walked out with a sickle, "There is only one, it is a little rusty, and it can still be used if Uncle Manfu sharpens it." As he spoke, he handed the sickle to Liu Qian.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, auntie, I ...... I'll go first, and I'll return the scythe in a few days. Liu Qian took the sickle in Sister-in-law Liu's hand and was about to leave, but Aunt Liu stopped her.

"Qianya, come here." said and beckoned to Liu Qian. When Liu Qian walked in front of Aunt Liu, she stuffed the millet in her hand to Liu Qian, "Take it quickly, your mother has no milk, so you can't let your sister go hungry." "Because of the heavy worries during pregnancy, Liu Qianniang's milk is not much, and she gave birth to a daughter, Liu Manfu Niang has no idea of giving her a body at all, and her mother's family is not strong, this time is busy, and the milk that is not enough is completely gone, but the child is only a few months old, and sometimes she is so hungry that she cries.

Liu Qian held the millet given by Aunt Liu in her hand, and wanted to return it to Aunt Liu, but she couldn't say anything, she knew too well the importance of these millets to her sister, these millets given by Aunt Liu, you can eat a little less than two months, and then the sister can slowly eat some complementary food after 6 months, so she struggled for a long time and was still reluctant to return the millet to Aunt Liu, just said in a low voice, "Thank you, Auntie".

"Silly girl, thank you, folks, go back." After thinking about it, he whispered to Liu Qian: "Remember to hide it." ”

Liu Qian nodded, and finally left, Aunt Liu looked at the thin and small figure outside, thinking of the baby's cry every night, and sighed, "It's a sin~."
