Chapter Seventy-Six: Burning Grass Ashes
Chen Chunhua is a person who says he will do it, and the next day he dug a small piece of land in the yard, and the soil next to the wellhead was very moist, and planted some sweet potatoes.
At this time, a little half a month has passed, and the sweet potato has sprouted, and Chen Chunhua estimates that at this time, she can still catch up. But the soybeans, the boss went back to the village to work back and forth, the ground was turned over, the pit was made, and it was waiting to be planted.
Not only in their houses, but also many people have replanted, and corn has to be planted, and these days are sunny, and the sun is shining every day, and it is not hot, but they are worried that the land is very wet, and if they do not take advantage of this time, they are afraid that it will be dried in the sun.
After doing business in the morning, Chen Chunhua and the eldest and the third went back to the village, leaving Qiu Ju in the shop, Qiu Ju wanted to go back to the village with him, but it was inconvenient to see the second pillar alone in the shop, but now it is much better, and you don't need to feed yourself to eat, but it is not good to go to the kang.
Back in the courtyard of the house, looking at the mess, Chen Chunhua put down the things in his hand and said. "Big brother, where's the hoe in the house?"
"Go to the hall and get it, and leave it behind the door." Chen Chunhua nodded, opened the door, took a hoe, and carried it out. Not far away, he looked at the grass on the ground that had sprouted, and without saying a word, he got up.
This burning of grass ash should have started in autumn, thinking about it, Chen Chunhua couldn't help but sigh. The eldest and third came out to take a look, looked at Chen Chunhua's actions, and said. "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? This grass is out of the way! ”
Chen Chunhua stopped her movements and looked at the old avenue. "I want to dig up all these turf, and when the time comes, I will burn the grass ashes, and use the grass ashes to fill the bean pits!" Speaking of this burnt grass ash, what she likes the most is to bury the sweet potatoes in it and stew the sweet potatoes when the grass ashes are burned.
The eldest and third didn't ask, knowing that they hadn't seen it before, seeing that Chen Chunhua was busy working alone, he also went into the house and took a hoe out to do it.
"This turf can't be too thick, if it's too thick, it's not good to burn!"
"Done!"
This shaving turf is very fast, and it is a group of three people, and it is much faster by itself. After planing, Chen Chunhua asked the third child to find the dry wheat stalks.
After this heavy rain, where did the wheat stalks come from, there are few people in the village who grow wheat, the third child looked at Chen Chunhua and said. "Daughter-in-law, if you don't need corn stalks, there are a lot of piles on the sides of the beams in the house!"
"It's also done, see if it's wet by the rain, take it down and dry it!" This turf can't be piled up for a while, it's too wet.
Two bundles of corn stalks were taken down, and they were wet a lot, exuding a musty smell, Chen Chunhua pointed to the open space, and said. "Spread it out and bask in the sun."
After getting these, Chen Chunhua went into the yard, and the shop had to be closed for two days, and there was no room for two days, how could the house be clean, and the bedding also brought two beds, and cleaned the kang head and laid it out.
From the morning to the afternoon, the house finally made a human appearance, looking very clean, Chen Chunhua felt comfortable in her heart, eating the corn paste in this bowl, and said. "Big brother, Ming'er will plant corn first!"
"It's also good to plant corn first, and now it's easier to plant anything, if it weren't for next to each other, the corn will grow green seedlings!"
Dinner was early, Xiang didn't have time to eat lunch, I was very busy, and after dinner, the sky was also bright. The shaved turf was also dried in the sun.
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua moved the corn stalks to the other side, so that the third child lit a fire. "Almost, collect these turfs with a hoe and pour them up with a basket!" The corn stalk burns fast and the fire is strong, so you have to take advantage of it.
The eldest and the third did not hesitate, seeing what Chen Chunhua was doing, they followed suit, poured the first layer, Chen Chunhua put the corn stalk on the top again, burned it, and then poured turf soil.
Seeing that the pile was as high as a small mountain, with white smoke rising from it, Chen Chunhua wiped the sweat beads on her face and said. "It's good to burn all night, I guess I can plant more than an acre of land, and the potato and melon seedlings will grow well in the future, and I should also use this grass ash to fill the pit!"
"Daughter-in-law, how did you know these methods?" The eldest and the third have always been very curious, this person is so long, and they don't feel any difference, but their daughter-in-law is like a baby, and some ideas pop up from time to time, and these ideas are all useful.
Chen Chunhua heard the third child ask, thought about it early in the morning, and said with a smile. "How do I know, this is not the last time I sold tofu and listened to an old woman, saying that I should try it, and I can listen to it, so it's a trick!"
"Which mother-in-law?"
"You don't recognize it, so I came to the shop once, and I didn't see it anymore to buy tofu!" After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she pinched her sore shoulder and said. "It's done, let's go back to the house, Ming'er has to be busy!" I got up early in the morning to work on the business of the shop, and hurried back to the village, and did not stop all day, and now before night, people were sleepy.
Chen Chunhua entered the house, followed by the third eldest and muttered. "Big brother, do you think our daughter-in-law is very powerful, why do I think that my daughter-in-law is the treasure given to us by God?"
The eldest looked back at the third child and said. "My daughter-in-law is a baby, and I still say what I think!"
"Yes, I said the wrong thing, but when will our daughter-in-law be able to have a round room with us, the second brother will not come back to see if he goes to the yamen, and last time I watched him go to blow the cold wind by himself in the middle of the night."
When the eldest heard this, his body was stunned, not only the second child, but even he often did this, but he couldn't, he still wanted to wait for his daughter-in-law to grow longer, but the three brothers had never touched a woman, and they could see the feeling of not being able to move in their arms, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. "What's the hurry, there hasn't been a woman in the house for more than ten years, and it's not in the way if you wait for a year or two!"
The old three listened and said. "Big brother, do you have to wait a year or two?" If this continues, he will not be burned with lust.
The boss just said so, I wish I had a room with my daughter-in-law as soon as possible, once this person makes a decision, it is difficult to change, the boss is such a personality. "Wait, it's just two years, don't talk about it, go back to the house, don't say this in the future, if you let your daughter-in-law listen to it, what does she think?"
Chen Chunhua couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, what did she think about when she heard it, obviously she had heard it! Thinking about it, yes, sleeping with the boss and the third child, she is also uncomfortable with that thing.
After nightfall, the three of them went to the kang, the eldest and the third didn't dare to sleep with Chen Chunhua, and the daughter's incense emanating from the body was simply torture for them.
Chen Chunhua built a futon by herself, the eldest and the third child slept on one side, and the two of them built a bunk. Looking at this situation, Chen Chunhua couldn't say anything, knowing that they were for her good, there was still a sense of loss in her heart, and she didn't know why!
