Yan Qingshan went to open up the wasteland after buying the land, and now everyone is busy with spring ploughing, so they can only rely on themselves, fortunately, Yan Shaojie School has a spring ploughing vacation, and there are two laborers at home. Yang still goes to sell vegetables in the morning and works in the field in the afternoon, Yan Yan feeds pigs and chickens in the morning and cuts pigweed, and after going to the field to deliver food, he prepares the next day's vegetables in the afternoon.
The ten acres of land were planted with sweet potatoes, corn, taro, and peanuts, all of which took a year to harvest. Yan Yan's vegetable garden has also been planted with seasonal vegetables one after another, and the cabbage has been pickled, and the family can finally relax.
"Dad, I'll take my sister up the mountain to see tomorrow and catch some game or something." Yan Shaojie remembered that his sister was very interested in going up the mountain last time, and he happened to have a few days off at this time, so he would go again.
"Go, I'm at home!" Yan Qingshan also felt that Yan Yan was too tired recently and should go to play, Yan Shaojie was not often free, and Yang also felt that his daughter had no playmates, and she was bored when she stayed at home often, so she should go out for a walk.
Early the next morning, Yan Yan made potato rolls, and then brought chicken feet and duck necks as snacks, which can be regarded as a spring outing! Yan Yan carried the small bamboo basket on his back and followed behind Yan Shaojie. The last time I came was winter, and there was no life, but now everything is recovering, the pine trees are still green, the squirrels are increasing, the fruit trees are blooming, the mountains are green, and there are many mushrooms.
Especially in the morning when the dew is heavy, there are many fresh mushrooms and a lot of wild vegetables, Yan Yan picks all the way, Yan Shaojie also installed a number of traps, and at the same time tries his luck to see if he can hit the prey, Yan Yan has not felt such a spring full of nature for a long time, she is quite satisfied with this spring, Yan Shaojie is so happy to see his sister, and he is also very happy. That night, Yan Yan made these mushrooms and wild vegetables, which were original and delicious!
Yan Shaojie also took Yan Yan to catch shrimp and fish in the river, Yan Yan simply relived the childhood of the previous life, the kind of simple happiness, carefree not to worry about life and reality, and also met other teenagers and girls in the village.
Yan Yan didn't expect that there would be so many fish and shrimp in the river at his doorstep, and there were also loaches, and this "spring outing" was very fruitful! Yan Yan separated the big fish and the small fish, as did the shrimp and loach, "Mother, it's time for us to change our taste, it's also good to sell some fish, shrimp and loaches." ”
"That's right, but we don't have that much time to go to the river, and your brother also has to go to school," the Yang family will not let Yan Yan go to the river with a female baby, and it will be difficult to get married in the future.
"I think about it, let the children in the village catch it, and it's okay to sell it to us when it's over," After the New Year, the Yan family made money from selling vegetables to buy land, so that the people in the village stared at the Yan family, thinking that they had made a fortune, because they were far away from the village, and the villagers even said that they made money and looked down on the people in the village, and there were always good things behind their backs.
Yan Yan thought that this was an opportunity to "share the blessings", let everyone make a little money, and the Yan family would be good at "being a man" in the village, after all, it was the Yan family who didn't care about the losses.
