Chapter 9: The Little Poor Finding Family
The woman took the dishes and washed them.
Yuan Baoer squatted in the open space next to the chicken coop.
The new sprouts have just sprouted in the ground, but they are sparse and thin, and they are still soft, as if they will wither in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Baoer habitually picked up a stick, loosened the soil for the seedlings at her feet, and found that there was some base fertilizer underground.
However, the base fertilizer was not good before, and now the weather will get warmer, and the fertility will return, so the seedlings will be burned like this, and it is estimated that after two days, these will also die.
She has always cherished what can be eaten, and she will not ignore this kind of nature.
She carefully removed the seedlings and went to the edge of the field to pick up some soil, separating the fertilizer from the roots.
As soon as he was buried, he heard someone behind him: "What are you doing?" ”
It was a man who spoke up, very close to her.
Yuan Bao'er was startled and turned her head sharply.
Two steps away, a dark-looking man was half-bent over to look at her.
He was dressed in a gown, with a hoe on his shoulder, and some mud on his feet, apparently having just returned from the field.
That's what the woman said she was going to do.
Yuan Bao'er immediately stood up and smiled shyly at him.
When the woman heard the commotion, she came out of the kitchen, and when she saw that the head of her house had returned, she greeted her with a smile.
Seeing the head staring at Yuan Bao'er, he said: "This kid came to look for relatives, but he couldn't find anyone, so I left him to eat and drink some water." ”
The man took the wet handkerchief she handed over disapprovingly, and continued the topic just now, "What were you doing just now?" ”
Yuan Bao'er said a little restrainedly: "This land is too thick, and the seedlings can't stand it, can I help them slow down?" ”
The man glanced at her, and then at the seedlings that had been billowed on the ground.
Something was wrong with this seedling, he knew it early on.
It's strange to say, obviously he came according to what others taught him, but his family is not dead or alive, and if he planted it at a time, everyone is about to eat it.
Yuan Bao'er saw that he was interested, so he stepped aside and signaled to him.
The fertilizer here is all soaked with the soil, and it looks black and swarthy, but Yuan Baoer can clearly distinguish where the soil is and where the fertilizer is.
That alone is enough to prove that he is not a fake.
Yuan Bao'er could see from the moment she just talked who was in charge of this family.
She immediately showed the man who was not good at farming.
Although the man has not been in contact with farm work for a long time, he can also see that she is sophisticated.
Yuan Bao'er only got two plants and stood up.
The man glanced at her, took the water handed over by his daughter-in-law, drank most of the bowl, and finally remembered his earlier words: "Who are you looking for?" ”
The woman spoke quickly, "Do you know that he is looking for his aunt, whose surname is Liu?" ”
The man shook his head at first, but the next moment he suddenly froze, "The surname is Liu, who did you marry?" ”
"Your family's surname is Zhou, and it is said to be Xingsan."
The man's brows were slightly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were obviously relaxed, "The uncle of the third family of this family does not have a daughter-in-law surnamed Liu, so it shouldn't be here." ”
"No way, my aunt wrote a letter to Grandpa a few years ago, and Daddy also said it, it's right here."
Yuan Bao'er's very sure look made the corners of the man's mouth tense again.
"There's really no family here, so you'd better look elsewhere."
The man's voice was very serious, and his expression was a little cold, but in the end, he was a farmer, and he was not good at lying, and when he saw Yuan Bao'er coming over, he was busy staring at the wall.
The woman had been with him day and night, and probably knew him better than she had done herself, and she was slightly stunned when she saw him like this.
Yuan Bao'er looked firm, but said in her heart that it was right if she didn't, she made it up, and it was only when she had it that hell.
But looking at the appearance of this man, it seems that he really has something to do with the surname Liu.
Isn't it her iron and bronze teeth, blindfolded?
"Auntie, she is good at embroidery, my aunt said that the elders in their village are peers, and even those from other villages like to ask her for help", she pouted, her head drooped and pulled the corners of her clothes, looking extremely pitiful, "She is so powerful, there are so many people in your village, someone should know, right?" ””
The man didn't say anything, obviously made up his mind.
But Yuan Bao'er didn't want to give up, and said in a low voice: "But I don't know anyone here, and I can't find it even if I want to." ”
As she spoke, she drooped her head and began to cry.
She was already thin, and in the past two days, she had not eaten or slept well, and her body was even thinner, as if she had become a piece of paper
The woman looked at her twitching shoulders and couldn't bear it.
Although their family is not rich, they still have surplus food, not bad for a mouthful of food, and she is also worried about Yuan Baoer's ability, and has the heart to let him teach her own family, so she quietly dragged the man's clothes.
The man stiffened his neck and didn't say anything.
Yuan Bao'er said: "It's better to do this, I'll help you do farm work, and you help me inquire about people." ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes lit up.
For them, this thing can be benefited by just moving their mouths, so why not do such a good thing?
She immediately smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and nodded her head again and again.
"We all know each other well in the surrounding villages, and I'll help you ask if you can find them," the woman replied very warmly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Yuan Bao'er also laughed.
However, without a smile on the man's face, she whispered timidly: "I have been tending to the crops since I was a child, and I am very powerful, and our people there can like me." ”
She was absolutely right, she often made new things, not only liked by her own tenants, but also by other people's owners.
After all, it's always easier to please the Lord with something new.
The man's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't seem to be happy.
But the woman blossomed with joy.
He is a good hunter, but he is a layman.
She was worried about what to do with her ten acres of land, so she sent a helper to the door.
She hurried to the man.
The man's brows furrowed, and he glared at his daughter-in-law.
The woman glared back and shoved the man hard.
This time it was obviously fierce, and there was a vague warning.
The man was afraid of the pillow wind, so he snorted and went to the kitchen to eat.
The woman smiled and dragged a small pestle for Yuan Bao'er, and waited for her to sit down before saying, "Tell me quickly, what is wrong with this place, I will take care of it in the evening." ”
"It won't work out at this time," Yuan Bao'er said: "The sun is too big, and when Brother Zhou and I come back next day, it's not too late to serve again." ”
The woman didn't understand this, so she smiled and nodded.
"How many acres of land do you have in your house?"
Yuan Bao'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone in my family does something different, I am young, and the elders feel sorry for me, so they only let me serve almost three acres of land." ”
Yuan Bao'er was talking about her own small paddy field.
But the woman was surprised, "Is that enough?" ”
The woman calculated in her heart that the ten acres of her own family, after paying the taxes, would not be enough for him to eat and drink, and the child would have three acres, and it was estimated that it would not be enough to chew for half a year.
"Enough, there's still left," Yuan Bao'er smiled shyly.
The woman didn't believe it, but looked at the bun on her head, and wondered if he was young and the family took care of him.
