Chapter 17: Digging a Well
Early the next morning, Yan Yan told Yan Qingshan the idea of digging a well and bringing water to the vegetable garden, "Now everyone is free, I'll call the two of you to come over for a day, you can make something delicious for everyone, and it's also excellent for that pig to go into the water." Yan Qingshan seems to have an endless aftertaste for pigs going into the water.
"Okay, buy two pairs of pigs in the water or something, and then cook some vegetables," Yan Yan thought to himself, the pig in the water can be regarded as meat, and it will be delicious to make.
"In this case, Ming'er will go to the market to buy some cotton and cloth, and the children should make new cotton jackets, and when they come back, they will dig a well." Yang thinks Yan Yan is so afraid of the cold, let's make a cotton coat first, Yan Shaojie's clothes don't fit.
"Do it for my sister, I'm not afraid of the cold," Yan Shaojie also felt sorry for this sister who was afraid of the cold.
"Let's make it for my brother, I'll just change my brother's old clothes, and I can add new ones next year," Yan Yan thought that his family was too poor, so if he made it for her, Yan Shaojie wouldn't have to wear it, so bear with it, next year I will definitely make money to make a padded jacket and change the sheets, which are hard and not warm.
Yan Qingshan and Yang were very sad, it was so difficult to make a cotton coat, they were really useless, "Daddy, let's just think of some ways to make money next year, our family will be fine," Yan Yan comforted them, Yan Shaojie was very uncomfortable, and felt that he couldn't help anything.
But for now, let's dig the well first, otherwise everyone will have to prepare for the New Year later, and no one will be free. When Yan Qingshan came back from the market, Yan Yan took care of the pig's water, Yan Qingshan also brought back a few pig's trotters, and Yan Yan made pig's feet ginger. When Yan Yan prepared all the dishes, there were also people over there to work, there were Li Laosan and two other people, I heard Yan Shaojie say that it was Zhao Sishun and Zhang Changhe, who were both playing with Yan Qingshan.
Because of the proximity to the river, the well was quickly opened, and the well was made in the morning, Yan Yan brought out the pig, because it was spicier than last time in winter, and everyone was very comfortable with fine sweat, Yan Yan also made two dishes, and brought out some pig's feet ginger, this thing was soaked for a month, and the taste was enough, not to mention how delicious it tasted after boiling for a while, everyone ate with oil in their mouths, and their faces were satisfied.
"Qingshan, your daughter is really good! The tea and rice are so good, but we earned it today," Li Laosan had time to speak only when he had his mouth full. "That's it, just shout if there is anything in the future, as long as we have something to eat," Zhao Sishun joked with a smile, and Zhang Changhe also echoed: "That's right, you're welcome, we're not polite today." ”
Everyone talked and laughed and rested for a while to go to the vegetable garden to dig a ditch to divert water, it doesn't take half a day to finish, it seems that today is very smooth, I hope that spring will come soon, there is nothing in winter, it is really not good to make money.
