Chapter 11 Digging a Pond

"Guoguo is right, although grass grows in that place, the mud in the puddle is so fertile! Let's open the land first, it's convenient to plant anything! Fang Yuqian was more excited than Guoguo, "Our Guoguo's brain is the spirit!" Tomorrow, I'll dig the ground too! ”

"Dad, we're all out, and you need to take care of the melons in the yard at home. You see, the pumpkin vines need to be plucked, and the flowers can be picked; Horn gourds have to be topdressed; Cucumbers also need to be weeded. How can the family be separated from Dad? "Besides, there is only one shovel, a hoe, and a firewood knife at home, which is just enough for us!" ”

"Mother, our family can't plant much land, Guoguo and I are not big, sister is a girl, and she can't be too tired, so she can only plant a little bit of her own land. So, let's go and take a look, if it comes out, my mother won't have to be angry. Aoki said a little depressed.

These days, the Liang family has always wanted to rent a tenant plot to plant. But after all, it was not the beginning of the year and the end of the year, and the Fang family could basically only be regarded as a laborer of the Liang family, so the Liang family not only did not rent the land, but suffered a little.

Qingshu's idea coincides with Guoguo. Guoguo's eyes brightened even more when he heard him.

"Alright, I'll go make dinner first! I'll go to the other side of the mountain tomorrow to have a look, this embroidery work, I'll rush again in the evening." Guoguo, how do you need to get your star fruit? Liang put down the embroidery work in his hand, stood up and went to the kitchen.

"Oh, my snack! Aoki, on! Please eat delicious! Guoguo jumped up and rushed to the kitchen.

"Eh, slow down, look at you, what kind of wild you are! How can I promise people in the future! Liang said with a headache.

Although Qingshu followed, he also frowned: "Guoguo, you have to learn from the senior sister, be steady." ”

"Grass girl steady? Who made the little fat guy in the rice grain store next door cry? Guoguo grinned, "Mother, Qingshu, don't be deceived!" ”

"Fang Hongguo! Are you itching?! Grass glared at her from behind. Guoguo immediately grimaced: "Then, did you see it?" Hey, hey, exposed, right? With that, he slipped into the kitchen.

She poured the reddish-brown star fruit from the pot into the big bowl, leaving not a drop of juice. The star fruit has been boiled very soft, gently tear off a small skin, add nothing, just dip in some soup, it is delicious.

Guoguo tried a little, nodded, and tore off a little bit and gave it to Cao'er: "Sister, you try the taste." ”

The grass chewed in small bites: "Well, it's good, it's not sour." The taste is very sweet. ”

Liang and Qingshu also tried it, but Qingshu felt a little astringent and a little sour, and was collectively despised by the three women. Later, Fang Yuqian ate it, and also felt that it was slightly astringent and sour. It turns out that taste is also genetic.

"It tastes better if it's dipped in sugar or salt." Guoguo was very proud, "The experiment was successful, tomorrow we will pick the rest of the star fruit back by the way, anyway, there is firewood at home, so if you boil it like this, you will have snacks." ”

"Hmm. You need to add salt before you put it, right? "Liang is not a good woman, in a word.

"yes, yes." After all, Guoguo is not native, and it is very precious to forget that salt in this era is very precious. Therefore, before her words landed, Liang's hand paused.

Cao'er also patted Guoguo's head: "I know how to eat all day long." But for the sake of the money you earned today, this salt, my sister agreed. ”

"Huh?" Only then did Guoguo realize that he had wasted things again.

Because there is also chicken broth, the noodles at night are especially delicious.

"Alas, I must be a rich man and eat meat every day!" Guoguo touched her round stomach and said with satisfaction. Liang and Fang Yuqian were both relieved and sad.

That night, Aoki began to copy books. It was not until Liang urged him to sleep that he was reluctant to put down the pen.

Early the next morning, the mother and daughter went out after breakfast. The dew was so thick that it was very cold on the trouser legs, and soon half of the trouser legs were wet with the dew on the grass by the roadside.

"Mother, look at this puddle, there is no water. We can dig up the mud from it and plant something here, right? Just dig the side of the mountain, and if it rains, you can continue to store water. Guoguo gestured angrily, "This mud is fertile, and it's good to plant anything." ”

Liang also nodded: "It's just that you have to work harder ahead, the first three years of this wasteland are all grass." ”

Liang has lived in the town for the past few years, and basically doesn't have to do any heavy work, and his body can't keep up at all. Guoguo and Cao'er are also delicate girls, and they can't exert much strength. The three of them were cutting the grass and digging into the ground, feeling quite struggling.

Soon the sun came up, and Guoguo said hello to Liang and went to pick honeysuckle. This flower field is so big, even if it can't be sold for the time being, you can pick it first and store it.

Guoguo picked the flowers and came back, hung them on the edge of the ground, and joined Cao'er and Liang's team. Liang and Cao'er's originally fair faces were flushed with sun, and beads of sweat continued to drip down.

"Mother, sister, you go to rest first. Your faces are flushed. Guoguo was a little distressed when she saw it.

"Cao'er, go sit under the tree next to you." Liang turned to Cao'er and said that she was also very distressed when she saw her eldest daughter's sweaty clothes.

"Mother, it's okay. I'll dig a little longer. Cao Er said stubbornly. She filled the dustpan with mud and tried to pick it up again, but the salty beads of sweat dripped into her eyes, and she shook her body as soon as she saw it. The ground was already uneven, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Liang and Guoguo hurriedly put down what they were doing and ran over.

Cao'er's delicate hands had long been worn out, and now they had fallen and rubbed against the weeds, and the injuries were even more serious, and one hand was full of small and broken wounds. When the three of them looked at it, they all had tears in their eyes. But Cao'er bit her lip and endured the pain, and forced a smile: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just a little bit of skin." ”

Liang carefully held her hand, unable to help himself.

Guoguo's eyes were also red, and she noticed that Cao'er's shoulders were a little drooping, and she realized something. Reach out and pull the collar of the grass.

"Guoguo." Cao'er glared at her, her face turned even redder, "What are you doing!" ”

"Sister, is your shoulder also worn out?" Guoguo was crying, she took a deep breath and pressed the crying down, "This area is relatively biased, there is no one, let me look at your shoulder." ”

Liang also turned his head to look around, and then pulled Cao'er's shoulders by himself. Cao'er wanted to hide, but as soon as her clothes were pulled on her shoulder, it hurt, so she had to stay.

Liang saw Cao'er's red and swollen shoulders, and finally hugged Cao'er and cried: "It's all because my father and mother are incapable and let you suffer." ”

Cao'er also had red eyes, but she still held back, and reached out to pat Liang's back: "Mother, it's okay." ”

When Guoguo saw Liang like this, he couldn't calm down for a while. She had no choice but to wipe the corners of her eyes and stand up to pick the crane grass she had just found.

There were thorns on the crane grass, and she was accidentally stabbed, and she took her fingers into her mouth; In a trance, I felt as if someone was looking at me in front of me. She searched carefully, but saw nothing.

Ke Guoguo has always felt that there are two visions, and they have always been there.
