Chapter 49: A Quiet Life
(Thank you for the reward of book friend Lin Xiaoyi and the ticket of book friend Miracle Life 123.) )
Lin Zhu's little cabbage has grown to the extent that it can be transplanted, and I originally wanted to eat it myself, but because Dr. Zhang wanted it, he had to give up. Lin Zhu first put the land in the front yard that was not tidied up, re-turned the soil, paved it, divided it into two furrows according to the amount of cabbage, dug a pit on it, carefully put the cabbage into the pit, poured some water, and then covered it with soil, so that almost half of the yard of Lin Zhu was planted with vegetables. The first cabbage has already grown, and the green onions and radishes are almost ready to be harvested. Lin Zhu felt that a vegetable cellar should be dug to store some of the vegetables, and some of them should be put into the space. Lin Zhu still wants to find Wang Shudun's family to do this, and they will come over to help Lin Zhu threshh rice and sorghum in a few days, and then tell them that it should be okay.
When Lin Zhu finished transplanting the two small cabbages, it was already past noon, but there was still some small cabbage that had nowhere to transplant, Lin Zhu felt that the quality of his cabbage this time was good, and it was not bad to give some to Aunt Li and the Wang family, so he found an opportunity to ask the two families, and they all said that they would come and get some away.
Originally, Aunt Li didn't want it, but when she came over to take a look, the little cabbage was long, all of them were watery, and they were much better than at home, so she quickly got dozens of trees and planted them in her own vegetable field. Wang Shudun's wife, Guo Shi, originally had the same idea as Aunt Li, but after seeing the vegetables, she immediately quickly got the vegetables home and planted them. In winter, as soon as the two families tasted the cabbage from Lin Zhu's house, they were disgusted by their own family to the corner.
After the two families got the cabbage away, Lin Zhu sorted out the rest, and he could still set aside three or two trees a day to eat for a period of time. Not only the little cabbage, spinach has also grown a lot, the green color, is also very attractive, Lin Zhu dialed a few and tried to scramble a spinach egg, the taste is really good, there is no bitter taste like ordinary spinach before, people want to eat it.
Since I learned that Lin Zhu's little cabbage tasted better than the outside, Dr. Zhang also came over from time to time to eat, and the more times he came, it was impossible for Lin Zhu to make it very hearty every time. Sometimes Steward Zhang came over and saw that there was no meat in the food cooked by Lin Zhu, so he didn't say anything, but from his somewhat gloomy face, Lin Zhu also noticed his displeasure. I didn't let him come here, why do you show me a face? So Lin Zhu decided to send vegetables to Dr. Zhang's house every few days, sometimes cabbage, sometimes spinach, in exchange. After a long time, Dr. Zhang wanted to ask Steward Zhang to give her money, Lin Zhu felt that it was just a little bit of food, not worth anything, and resolutely refused to ask for it, Dr. Zhang had no choice but to give up. But the two extra bunches of cabbage planted in Lin Zhu's yard, Dr. Zhang said that he would give her money, and seeing that he looked angry when he didn't want money, Lin Zhu promised to collect the money when the time came.
As the days passed, Lin Zhu was feeding the chickens, playing with black beans, doing housework, and most importantly, practicing female workers with those rags. Lin Zhu's body has also undergone great changes, because of good food, her figure is no longer as thin as before, her yellow face has been completely improved, and she has become a puff, and she has become a lot whiter. He was taller than before, and the clothes he used to make were a little smaller, so he asked Aunt Li to help make two sets of clothes, which were made of the fabrics he bought in the county two times before. made Ruyu envious for a while. Aunt Li also changed her previous clothes, and Aunt Li's craftsmanship was very good, and she added some light water red edges to the sleeves and skirts, so that Lin Zhu looked a lot more beautiful when she wore that dress.
Lin Youqing also used her skillful hands to make a lot of silk flowers with the leftovers that Lin Zhu bought, Lin Zhu often swapped with Ruyu, and made Youqing always make fun of the two of them being sisters, and she became an outsider. Afraid that her sister would be unhappy, Ruyu coquettishly played beside her sister for a long time, until Youqing couldn't stand it and drove her out.
In the future, Wang Shudun's family came to help Lin Zhu, and this time they also brought the Guo family with them, because they were afraid that Lin Zhu was a little girl, and a few of them were working here, so it would be bad for people to gossip.
The four of them were all good at work, and it didn't take a few days to get them all done, and Lin Zhu asked Wang Shudun to help dig a vegetable cellar. He didn't say a word and took his sons to start working, these days Guo and Lin Zhu are also familiar with each other, often help her do some scattered housework, and also go over to help when cooking, some washing and washing work does not need Lin Zhu to do it, which makes Lin Zhu very embarrassed, but Guo always says that she is such a young child, easy to get tired, and does not let her do it, which makes Lin Zhu thank her from the bottom of her heart, and decides to help her family when the time is ripe in the future.
After the vegetable cellar was dug, Lin Zhu settled the salary for Wang Shudun's family, and gave an extra hundred Wen, which was Lin Zhu's existing thing to express his gratitude. When I went back, I told my family to help Lin Zhu when I was able to help, and the family nodded yes.
Lin Zhu selected some full grains from the rice as the seeds to be collected into the space, and used the characteristics of the space to improve the quality of the seeds. When we plant again next year, we will definitely harvest more than this year. Soybeans are also planed in the same way. It's just sorghum, firstly, sorghum is not tasty, and forest bamboo does not want to be planted again, and secondly, the land where sorghum was planted before has other uses. Soybeans are very useful, so keep a portion of the land for it. Lin Zhu wants to plant an acre of watermelon and an acre of pepper next year, because there are too few peanut seeds, only about half an acre can be planted, so the last half of the acre is reserved for soybeans, and because the watermelon will be the most obvious benefit, so Lin Zhu is also ready to plant watermelons in the yard.
Lin Zhu's abacus played very loudly, in order to ensure that these plans did not fail, she cleaned up the three acres of dry land early, and the remaining stubble roots and the like during the harvest in the field, together with the farm fertilizer, let her ask someone to turn it into the ground, after a few months of cultivation, the land can also be fattened, laying a good foundation for the next year's planning.
Lin Zhu's practices have become very strange in the eyes of the people of Linjia Village, everyone doesn't understand what she is doing for her, the people in the village do this at the beginning of spring, and gradually under the impetus of people with a heart, Lin Zhu has become a loser. Most of the villagers think that Lin Zhu would be like this without the teaching of adults. Only a small number of people gloated on the side, including Wen Shanniang, who had suffered a loss in Lin Zhu, and Liu Qiucui, who was jealous, and they couldn't wait for Lin Zhu to fall more and more.
Lin Zhu had to explain to Aunt Li's family and Wang Shudun's family who cared about her why they wanted to do this, and at the same time told them to plant watermelons, etc., and asked them if they wanted to plant some together, the two families knew that watermelons were difficult to plant, and they were afraid that Lin Zhu would not be able to plant well. It was useless for anyone to persuade him, and after the last time, Dr. Zhang said to let Lin Zhu try, and it was a big deal to be tight for a year. Because she knows that Lin Zhu can also sell wolfberries, these are no less than growing crops, so Aunt Li will not persuade her. Seeing that the village chief's family was like this, the Wang family couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say anything, but he had already made plans to make plans if Lin Zhu lost money next year, and his family was ready to help some.
In the days of the autumn harvest, Lin Zhu also took the time to find more bangbangru on Xiaoqingshan, and after drying it, she was ready to keep it for the New Year, because of the sensitive nose of black beans, the process of picking sticks and sticks became much easier. Looking at the Bangbangru that she wore and put under the window to dry, it was very fulfilling. It's just that Dr. Zhang, who went up the mountain to collect medicine, saw it, and snatched half of it, seeing her reluctance, she also said that she was stingy, respected the old man who didn't understand, and was willing to give him even the idea of mushrooms. Lin Zhu shouted that he was wronged, but he had no choice but to look at the half of the dried Bangbangru and tell her that he would see her again. I had no choice but to secretly say in my heart that when my chicken grew up, I would make a chicken stew stick and eat it, and I wouldn't let him taste it.
In the blink of an eye, October, the weather is getting colder day by day, Lin Zhu found a lot of dead branches from Xiaoqingshan and pushed them back to the backyard, Xiaoqingshan has many shrubs and branches are very thin, she holds a firewood knife, it is easy to break, but because people are still young, doing these jobs is very slow, once let Wang Lin see it, not to mention helping her chop a lot of firewood and send it over, Lin Zhu wanted to give money, but was glared at by him, and told her that he would send firewood over in the future, so that she would not go up the mountain again.
