In the twenty-first year of Dading, on the seventh day of February, "the wind and thunder send the warm season in the middle of spring, and the peach willow is renewed." The equatorial golden sun shines directly on the surface, and the day and night are evenly divided. ”

This is the day just after the spring equinox, from time to time you can hear the sound of swallows flying overhead whining, at the foot of the mountain to the sunny place in the wind and blooming yellow, orange and orange "spring flowers" are playing a symphony of spring, and there are occasional peach blossoms in the mountains and forests from the shadows of the trees, as if to tell Situ Yan that winter has passed and spring is coming.

After breakfast in the morning, Li Dalang and Li Erlang drove the cattle down to the field, and Situ Yan left San Lang and Shi Lang behind, saying that they needed to find help with some work. Of course Li Dalang agreed, in fact, she was going to the Daliang River to dig river mud today, and she wanted Li Dalang to catch the car, but she was afraid of delaying the work in the field, so she had to leave San Lang and Shiro behind.

But when I went out, I found that the three of them couldn't catch the car, but fortunately, the mule called "carrot" had a docile and obedient personality, Situ Yan and San Lang tried a few times, although they were not as good as Li Dalang, but at least they had begun to walk in a straight line.

Found the Daliang River where I broke the ice net with the little sheep last time, saw that the river surface had been civilized, found a flat place, and the three of them put the river mud into the basket with dead leaves one by one. The ten baskets he brought were all filled before he drove home. Dumping the river mud on the edge of the manure pit, Saburo and Shiro scooped out some manure from the manure pit and mixed it with the river mud, and scattered it all into the backyard field.

By the time Da Lang and Ji Lang drove the cow home to eat, the three of them pretended to be fine, and they were already sitting in the hall waiting for the meal to start. Li Dalang didn't ask Xiaomei what he asked his younger brothers to do, so he and Erlang ploughed nearly two acres of land in the morning, and they were also busy.

After taking a nap, the four brothers of the Li family went to Guantian again, and Situ Yan carried a basket into the mountain, and she didn't go into the mountain for a winter. Of course, the main reason is that her space ring is almost empty, especially the medicinal herbs.

She also filled the water tank in the ring, and when she got home, she put all the water in the ring into the dug water cellar, this kind of transportation was particularly easy for Situ Yan, at this time she was not only a little grateful to the traitor named Golden Eagle in her previous life, if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have gotten such a magical thing.

For dinner, I made a stewed pork bone with medicinal shepherd's cabbage, and steamed the nest head of the bud grain noodles, "Little Wu, why is there a pit in the middle of this bun?" Erlang took a sip of soup and took a bite of his head, he had never eaten this before.

"This is called Wotou, because it uses bud grain noodles, it is solid and does not like to be ripe, so leave a pit in the middle, and it is better to cook when steaming. The second brother just eats, there is still a lot of warmth in the pot, I have made tomorrow's breakfast and lunch, and it is enough. ”

"It's delicious, this soup is delicious, and everything Xiao Wu makes is fragrant."

"That is, during the Chinese New Year, I went to Brother Shanwazi's house, Aunt Niu also pretended to eat for me, I only ate one bite and couldn't eat it, it was also made of bud noodles, but it was not as fragrant as Xiao Wu's." Shiro felt that what his second brother said was too right, and everything Xiao Wu did was delicious.

"Xiao Wu, why do you eat this soup today with a smell of medicine?" Li Dalang also nodded.

"I put some herbs in this soup, which can warm and replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the body, my brothers have been working hard these days, and they don't let me help, so I will give my brother a good food to replenish his body."

"This is good, there are cows at home, and my second brother and I are not tired, just make food for the little five."

"Big brother, I'm going to leave the third brother and fourth brother to help out at noon in the past few days, and then let them help you work next night, okay?"

"Okay, little three and four, you can help Xiao Wu do a little more, don't let her get tired."

Saburo and Shiro glanced at each other and snickered, "Don't worry!" Big brother, we know. ”

"Big brother, I still want to discuss something with you, the weather is also warm, when I get down, I want to go into the mountains to find some herbs, and by the way, I also dig some wild vegetables, don't go deep, just go around the side of the mountain."

"Let Xiaosi follow, you don't feel at ease alone." Li Dalang did not object to the little sister entering the mountain, but when he thought that the little sister wanted to enter the mountain alone, he thought of the harmful second donkey, how could he rest assured that she would be alone.

"No need, I made an appointment with Aunt Quan's maids to dig wild vegetables together. We let the fourth brother follow with a bunch of girls, and others are not comfortable. ”

Li Dalang didn't doubt Situ Yan's words at all, this aunt helped make window grilles with her daughter years ago, he knew that the little sister usually rarely played with her friends, and she was always bored at home to work, so she readily agreed.

Situ Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she found that since she came to this time and space, she had to tell some white lies from time to time, she went to the river to lie because she was afraid that her eldest brother would worry that she would fall into the river, and when she went into the mountains to lie, she was afraid that her brothers would be worried that she would be eaten by wolves, and she had to find all kinds of excuses to do business, and she would soon become a "fraudster" in the long run.

Reading and practicing words as usual at night, a "Three Character Classic" several people have learned most of the book, as the more and more you learn, several people have different degrees of change in thinking, the biggest change is San Lang. Moreover, Situ Yan also discovered that San Lang is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is also the best in kung fu. A few days ago, Situ Yan taught a few people to learn Wing Chun, and San Lang could master it almost after watching it a few times.

From the next day until the tenth day of the new year, Situ Yan and San Lang and Shiro were busy hoarding river mud, and after a nap at the tenth day of the new year, Situ Yan will tell Li Dalang about going to the river to dig mud these days, of course, there is a "love reminder", San Lang and Shiro are miserable, they were scolded by Da Lang, and almost put the two of them full of buns, or Situ Yan was coquettish and wiped her tears before letting them go.

With this river mud fertilizer, San Lang and Shiro will turn over the land and scatter the mixed fertilizer mud, Situ Yan's heart is put down, in fact, she thought so when she wanted this thin land, although she didn't know the effect, but she believed in an old saying, "The crops grow well, all depend on the fertilizer", it's a big deal to apply fertilizer a few times, although it can't be cultivated into the best field, but it is at least about the same as the land at the head of the village.

When she was busy preparing dinner on the tenth day of the new year, she unexpectedly found that there was an extra swallow's nest on the south window of the west room of the main house, Situ Yan excitedly found a ladder, climbed up and took a closer look at the dish-shaped bird's nest, the mud and grass stalks and saliva were really sticky, and there were weeds and feathers in it, but I didn't see the swallow couple at this time. When Da Lang came back, Situ Yan pulled a few people to see, they were all half-grown children, how could it be rare. They all scrambled to build ladders to climb up.

Situ Yan took advantage of the interest of a few people, and when she was studying after dinner, she specially found a poem by Yongyan to teach them, "Gushan Temple is in the west of Jia Ting, and the water surface is low at the beginning of the clouds. Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck the spring mud. The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe. The favorite lake is not enough to go east, and the white sand embankment in the green poplar shade. Situ Yan explained the meaning and artistic conception of the poem to several people in detail.

San Lang recited the fastest, "Little Wu, I like this poem, we have an old saying here, 'Sparrows chirp, eat grain and chaff, swallows nest, and there are fewer insects in the crops.'" 'The swallows can build their nests in our house, which means that we will have a good harvest in our field this year.' ”

"For Xiao Wu, I was worried about it before, but now I am also steady, in the past, only the village head family and the patriarch's house had a swallow's nest under the house, these two families grow more grain than others, and our family will definitely be able to do it this year." Although Li Dalang was a little superstitious, this did not affect Situ Yan's good mood. She won't force these ancients to give up their faith and believe in atheism, anyway, she doesn't believe it now, at least she is a soul piercing, how can she convince others.

The swallow couple became members of Situ Yan's family, in order to make them live comfortably, Situ Yan also found a lot of rags and put them on the edge of the bird's nest, and the smart swallow really stuffed these strips of cloth into his nest. Getting up to the sound of a swallow every day makes a few people happier than listening to a rooster crow.

Situ Yan has seen the official field of turning over the soil and fertilizing, although it has lost some weight, but it is not saline-alkali land, so it is good, and if you chase fertilizer again, this land can be planted. By taking advantage of the compost, the manure pit was cleaned well, and there was less odor and insects and flies.

Before the 15th of February, the river mud was dug twice, and the fertilizer applied for the first time was enough. On the day of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Situ Yan carried a basket with persimmons on her back, and there was a lot of work in the field. Li Dalang entrusted the two bundles of firewood to Xiao Yang'er, who drove Situ Yan's mule cart to pull the villagers into the city. His cattle were left for Li Dalang to use to plough the land.

The ladies who entered the city were riding the mule cart for the first time, and they shouted that it was fresh, and that the mule cart went faster than the ox cart. said that Situ Yan was a blessed one, picking up such a big bargain.

This time, I helped carry firewood into the city, and the little sheep knew that every time Situ Yan entered the county seat, the firewood he brought was to go to the county school to change waste paper, and he persuaded two sentences, but seeing Situ Yan's insistence, he didn't like to talk, so he didn't persuade again. Help Situ Yan put the paper away on his back. went to sell persimmons together, of course, he didn't eat less, seeing how fragrant he ate, he helped Situ Yan attract a lot of customers, and a jar of persimmons was sold out in less than an hour.

In order to wait for the other villagers, the two had to wander around the county town. "Little Five, give." Xiao Yang'er went to buy candy when he didn't know it, and then he pinched the candy and handed it to Situ Yan. Seeing that Situ Yan refused to take it, she continued, "I ate your persimmons." ”

Only then did Situ Yan understand that the emotion was a return gift to her, "Then you still help me carry firewood and sell things, so what do you want?" ”

Where can Xiao Yang'er argue with Situ Yan, but the candy has been bought, and it can't be returned, so it is stuffed into Situ Yan's hands. Situ Yan knew that this person was stubborn, and she didn't fight with him on the street, so she put the candy in her small purse, and the two continued to walk forward. I went to the incense and candle shop and bought some things to use for the tomb during the Qingming Festival, and then I went to the city gate to wait.

Before the time came, he returned to Lijia Village, Li Dalang didn't take a nap today, and he had already driven the cattle to the field at this time. Xiao Yang'er helped unload the car, and then took the nest head given by Situ Yan home. In the evening, Situ Yan gave Li Dalang a serious lesson because they didn't take a lunch break. But a few people agreed with a smile, obviously feeling uneasy.

Situ Yan thought that she was at home on weekdays, but no one was watching this day, so it was up to them. In the evening, I added an extra dish to the four of them to make up for their bodies.
