After only one winter, the fertility of the field was restored. The vegetable field was dug up by the two husbands and wives, and the fertile soil was black and oily, and it looked very fat.

The eight-acre vegetable plot exudes the smell of fresh earth.

Cai Er was full of joy, and every morning he would walk around the ground with his hands behind his back for the first time, secretly weighing in his heart which kind of vegetables would be better to grow on that piece of land, and which kind of vegetables should be changed to a place closer to the well.

Before and after Qingming, the melons nodded their heads. This year, the second husband and wife of Cai listened to Lin Zhu's construction and prepared to plant some beans against the wall, so that the old lady could eat fresh edamame. The pear melon varieties left behind are also good, crisp, fragrant and watery, and Yan Wuwu Jin Xiaoguang is full of praise.

He squatted in a small plot of land and buried pears and melons into the soil, and several of them were buried in each nest. Lin Zhu carried a small bucket and a water ladle in one hand, and saw that he had buried it and poured water. Cai Er Niangzi followed at the end, scattering the ashes of the plants and trees in the basket on it.

The three of them cooperated with each other and planted pears and melons in less than half a day.

Lin Zhu asked, "Dad." Do we eat and order beans, or do we finish the meal in one go? ”

Cai Er has a problem, and he forgets to eat when he gets to work.

Nanaji raised his head and looked at the sky, it was already noon.

He said, "Let's eat first." We adults are hungry for a while, but you are when you are a child, and if you don't have time to eat, you won't grow tall. ”

Cai Er Niangzi also said: "That's it, look at Yun'er Duo'er's appearance." It's a year older than you, and half a head taller. ”

Lin Zhu looked down at his still thin body and said, "What's so good about being big." Walking occupies an area of clothing and clothing. How good I am, small is small, tight flesh and bones. ”

After speaking, he clenched his fist and rolled up his sleeves to look at his muscles, and a little bit, and raised his eyebrows very proudly.

Caier didn't understand what her daughter meant, and said with a smile: "Zhu'er, look at your arm is not as thick as a finger of others." Eat well. After that, you ate Daddy's egg every morning. ”

Lin Zhu likes to eat eggs and never gets tired of eating them.

But you can't eat too many eggs, because they are too heavy and not easy to digest. And the quality of Caier's work every day is so great. It's going to get bigger and bigger. More need of nutrition than her.

She hurriedly said, "Dad, I am a child, and I eat too much food. You're an adult, doing so much work every day. It is essential to eat one egg every morning. I haven't eaten it this morning. I'm going to peel it for you. ”

After that, he placed the small bucket next to the ground where he was ready to order some beans later. I went to the kitchen.

Standing on the floor of the kitchen, I saw from the window that the head of the big treasure thief poked his head in, and the big yellow dog came out of the nest. At him, he coquettishly "Wangwang." After a few calls, he wagged his tail and began to please.

This big treasure is coming, how to make it like a thief, it has something to do with his appearance.

Lin Zhu burst out laughing, and walked out while laughing, "Brother Dabao, what are you doing with a thief and a thief?" What did you do to see the shame? ”

Dabao smiled and took out a paper bag from his arms and threw a few bones to the big yellow dog.

took out another paper bag and handed it to Lin Zhu and said, "Who did something unseemly?" It's not your stalker's grandmother, who asks me to tell my father every day, let your uncle and third uncle go to the countryside to do long-term work again. You said that after the last incident, she still recognized it. ”

Lin Zhu said, "That's a good thing." It's not the spring plowing season, isn't there a shortage of manpower in the farmland, just right? ”

Dabao said: "What is good. Your two uncles are so lazy to eat, where did they eat that bitterness? Last year, he made a mistake, and after he went, he worked hard for a few days. When the autumn was harvested, your grandmother begged my father and took them away, who knew that they not only did not work well themselves, but also encouraged those long-term and short-term workers to gamble. A number of individuals have worked for a year and then lost their money. Too scared to go home. The angry pastoral steward drove them out. You say I dare to talk too much. ”

Lin Zhu knew that the reason why Lin Zhang's begged Dabao to intercede and let the third uncle go to work in the countryside of Yanfu was because the iron housekeeper confessed that he handed over all the grain wages he received to her.

Then he said, "Brother Dabao, you just have to think of a way." My grandmother can't help it. If you think about it, there are eleven people over there, and they are only supported by three of us, and they are really nervous. Besides, such a big man doesn't support his own wife and children, so it can't be said that my father will raise them. You see, our family of three gets up earlier than chickens, does more work than donkeys, and eats worse than pigs. The three of them are thinner than the other, and if they continue like this, they will have to collapse. If the uncle and uncle can share a little, we can take a breath. You can help tell Uncle Tie about it. One thing drops another, you don't necessarily have to let him go to the countryside, you can find a place to be guarded. As long as the wages are good, let them do anything, it is regarded as helping them quit gambling. ”

She said so much in one breath, Dabao blinked his eyes, and it was right to think about it.

Then he said, "Can anyone come down?" So what can you do? ”

Lin Zhu tilted his head and said, "There are so many industries in the house, and you can't arrange one or two people." ”

Dabao said: "People are easy to arrange, the key is that your two uncles don't learn well." If you don't learn well, you will teach others badly. It will damage the reputation of our house. ”

Lin Zhu said: "Then find a job that he doesn't have time or chance." For example, if you can't see people, you will be punished if you don't do well. ”

Dabao thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and ask my father to see if there is such a job." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Caier, who was still in the ground, and said, "Zhu'er,." I'm here to ask Second Uncle Lin about pasting paper kites for my son. ”

Lin Zhu only remembered that it was March 3 in a few days.

Busy said: "This is easy to do." Tell me if you can agree to help my grandma. ”

Lin Yi Lin Sangen didn't do it seriously, and the chickens and dogs at home were restless all day long, but in fact, there were no chickens and dogs at home, just making trouble. The two also sang and sang and loved each other, which made Lin Zhang's cry and wipe his tears every day. Lin Duo's mother returned to her parents' house with her month-old son.

Lin Zhang's family came to the vegetable garden to complain to the second son, and the second lady of the vegetable was soft-hearted and gave the red envelope given by Yan Wuwu during the New Year. In the first month, Lin Zhu secretly took Lin Yunlin to sell paper kites and gave her a total of three taels of silver.

But when she came home and wanted to hide, she was seen by two sons, one holding her, and the other calling the old lady with a smiling face, and snatched the silver.

After a New Year, Lin Zhang's tears didn't dry, but there were still several people in the family, so she came to the vegetable garden every day, collected eggs to exchange for some food, and then secretly took some vegetables.

So she also has a good face for Cai Erniang.

Cai Erniang's heart is softer. but comforted her in turn. I can't bear to eat eggs every morning.

Lin Zhu is also soft-hearted. It is really sad that a mother at such an age has no family business, and she is still gnawed by her son like this.

also forgot her previous domineering.

Dabao frowned. He couldn't think of any such thing for a moment.

I heard Yan Wuwu's loud voice outside the gate: "This son promises you." It's hard to find anything else. There are a lot of things like this. ”

After May. The vegetable garden is already green.

Early in the morning, Cai Er put on straw sandals and went into the field and began to pull cabbage, rape, radish and shallots. Cut leeks. Cai Er Niang said on the ground: "Boss, come out and wear a pair of shoes." Feet are cold. ”

Cai Er squatted in the ground without raising his head and said, "What shoes are you wearing, the ground is wet." It's May, and it's not cool at all. ”

In fact, the dew in the field was still a little cold, and he felt sorry for his wife and didn't want to wet his shoes.

Lin Zhu carried a bamboo basket and wanted to pinch some toon on the toon tree in the corner of the vegetable garden, the buds on the toon tree were very popular farm vegetables in the previous life, and now it seems that no one has found them. She noticed it last year, but before she could take care of it, the shoots had grown.

Cai Er Niangzi thought that she was going to pick what kind of vegetables, but she saw that she had been going to the back of the vegetable garden, which was the small toon tree, and asked strangely loudly: "Zhu'er, what are you doing on the tree?" Be careful to fall, you look at you as a woman of such a big age, and you are not afraid of people outside seeing it. ”

Although the fence wall is very high, the toon tree is much higher than the courtyard wall, and the forest is on the tree, and you can see it from the outside.

Lin Zhu hung the bamboo basket on the branches, carefully pinched the tender yellow toon buds with a little green, and brought the three-inch long stems. One by one, they are put into the bamboo basket.

While saying to Cai Er Niangzi: "Mother, there is no one outside." Even if there are people, he can't care about us in our own yard. Mother, this toon is delicious. Scrambled eggs, dumplings, cold dishes,. All good. I'll make it for you later. ”

The eldest lady with staring eyes walked along the path, and said as she walked, "Zhu'er, what are you talking nonsense." How can the leaves be eaten, they stink? ”

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Mother, you're talking about that tree." It's a stinky toon, so you can't eat it. ”

There is a stinky toon tree not far from the toon tree, and the forest has been compared for a long time these days.

Cai Er Niangzi walked under the tree, raised her head to see her daughter pinching the toon one by one, and asked tentatively: "Zhu'er, do you remember anything?" My mother has been in this garden for more than ten years, and I don't know if this leaf can still be eaten? ”

She felt that her daughter must have remembered the past, if she did, would she go to her biological father?

Lin Shu lowered his head and looked down the crack in the tree, and saw Cai Erniang's worry.

Busy said: "Mother, what are you thinking? When I was selling paper kites in the capital last year, I went to the young master's house and saw the subordinates in their house picking them. Listening to that old family member, didn't I sue you? ”

Cai Erniangzi tried hard to recall, and when her daughter arrived, she told her about going to Dingyuan Proton Mansion, saying that she didn't say anything about the mellow, and she couldn't remember. 、

Maybe that's it.

Only then did he nod and said, "My mother forgot that you didn't say it, but if your cousin also eats it at home, it should be able to eat." Their lives are worth more than ours. ”

Lin said, "That's nature. Later, I will go to the town to buy a piece of tofu, toon tofu mixed with tofu, it is delicious. ”

Cai Er Niang said, "If you go to town, bring some vegetables." The shopkeeper was good to us. ”

Lin Zhu said: "Mother, you go and tell my father and ask him to prepare more dishes." Pluck more radishes, see that the cucumbers are a little more formed, and bring a few. ”

Generally, the cucumbers grown by farmers have to wait until the end of May to grow a few inches, and they can not be eaten until June. Due to the good selection of seeds, the seedlings are very careful. With the constant watering, it was a month earlier than the average farmer, and now it is only May, and Lin Zhu has eaten cucumbers as fruit every day. Although they all affect other ones that need to be pinched off.

Cai Er Niangzi smiled and said, "Zhu'er, the cucumber is still too tender, and it doesn't taste good." It's all about throwing away. ”

Lin Zhu hurriedly said: "Mother, you don't know, that's the best." It's called milk melon. ”

In fact, she didn't know if the gherkin with the length of her thumb was the milk melon she had eaten in her previous life. When the cucumbers bloomed a few days ago, the excess flowers had to be pinched off. The forest plant will be built, pinch a few fewer flowers, and then pinch when the cucumbers grow.

Cai Erniang laughed as she walked, her daughter has become too knowledgeable now. Sometimes the head of the house asks for advice. This kid is a man with a heart.

Lin Shu stood at the branch of the tree, stretched out his arm to pick the longest branch, and saw two people walking far away on the road outside the vegetable garden. It seems to be heading towards the vegetable garden.

She hurriedly put her hand on her forehead to take a closer look, it was two thin men.

Who will come to the vegetable garden? The vegetable garden is facing the back gate of Yanfu. If you go to the house, you won't go here, and there is another trail in the Xiezhuang pit behind the vegetable garden, except for the Lin family, ordinary people won't go here.

Who is this? Something's going on.

She hurriedly slipped down from the tree with the basket, walked out quickly, and said to Caiji as she went, "Dad, someone is coming outside." ”

Cai Er hurriedly got up and walked out with two large vegetable baskets.

The person who came from the daughter must be from Yanfu.

The father and daughter had just returned to the front of the house when the door opened, and a small dark face peeked in, followed by another.

Face so dark? It's obvious that something black is painted.

The eyes on the two small faces were shining.

Where is this coming from? What do you mean?

Lin Zhu didn't know why, and the big yellow dog barked in a strange voice.

Cautiously approaching the fence door, he asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The little face lowered did not speak, just looked at her, and raised his eyes to look at the above.

The little face above swayed from side to side, a pair of eyes squeezed, raised a hand, and beckoned to her.

These two people with makeup are a little weird, do you want to go over?

She hesitated for a moment,

These two people are thin and small, and their eyes don't carry any vicious signals, in broad daylight, her father and mother are there, who can do anything to her.

Besides, this is the vegetable garden of Yanfu, and ordinary people don't dare to cause any trouble.

After making a decision, he slowly moved towards the gate.

I heard Caier shouting behind him: "Zhu'er, stop, don't go over!" ”

The voice was flustered and majestic.

Lin Zhu was startled, her father had never spoken to her so loudly. Is it an enemy?

She obediently stopped her steps and stepped back.

The person in the crack of the door saw her stop and waved vigorously in a hurry, and the face below was also a little anxious and beckoned to her.

And the person who beckoned seemed to know her, and looked familiar with a smile in his eyes.

She glanced back at Cai Er and asked puzzledly, "Dad, do you know?" Have a grudge against our family? ”

Caiji said nervously: "If you are asked to come back, you will come back." What nonsense? Where will your father have enemies? ”

He actually saw that the two of them were sneaky and had strange faces, and he was worried that Lin Zhu's family had found them.

Daddy's words must be listened to, he will never harm himself.

Lin Zhu firmly turned and walked back, leaving the two men to the big yellow dog that started barking again.

I heard a small voice: "Zhu'er, come here, it's me!" (To be continued......)
