Chapter 41: Clearing the Wasteland

All I heard was "Ouch! With a bang, this Su Binghuai was lying on the ground, this is just right, and he can't be fooled. Seeing the situation, Gu Chunqiang also lay on the ground and cried: "This brother-in-law is bullying us because of his strength, but we are also brothers and sisters-in-law, how can we not respect us like this?" ”

"If we really don't treat us well, my son-in-law won't bring me good food and drink, and now I'm worried that we won't have anything to eat, so he took us to open up the wasteland!" Su Mu saw that the two were helpless, so she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Brother and sister-in-law, if you do this again, then my husband and I will go back, and simply take our mother with us, and we will never ask about your affairs again!" Su Mi was cleaning up in the stove room, but when she heard the noise in the hall, she hurried over. A pair of apricot eyes sparkled, and his eyebrows frowned slightly and looked helpless.

The two of them lay on the ground, and when they saw the three people standing looking at them like monkey plays, Su Binghuai couldn't hold it on his face, so he stopped and slowly stood up: "If you open up the wasteland, you can open up the wasteland, and my brother-in-law can only bully honest people like us!" ”

"You shameless, your brother-in-law is all for us, don't work hard, don't eat at noon!" Although Su's mother was heartbroken for her son, she didn't protect it, and picked up the hoe and threw it to him after saying goodbye.

Zhao Laosan looked at the rest of the land in Sujia Village with sufficient sunlight and good water source conditions, all of which were planted with grain, and only a few places on the slope in front of the door could grow grain.

Zhao Laosan carried a hoe and walked in front with a sickle. Su Binghuai and his wife reluctantly followed, while Su Mi and Su's mother cleaned up at home and went to the mountain later.

After bypassing two ponds and a few ridges, we went up the mountain. These pieces of land, sitting at the door of Su's house, can be seen, if it can be reclaimed, it will definitely produce food, and there is no problem for the family to spend the autumn and winter.

It had just rained, and the hillside was not easy to walk, so Su Binghuai saw that her woman was pregnant, and carefully supported her. Zhao Laosan's steps are fast, and it seems to be walking on a flat road in this thorny bush. Rao has just rained, and the green grass is stained with crystal clear dewdrops, and the wind is blowing, but I feel that the weather is very comfortable.

Zhao Laosan stood in the haystack and looked at it, folded the most easily cultivated pieces, first divided the land into several small pieces with a hoe, and then pulled the weeds.

Gu Chunqi squatted on the ground, and after only a quarter of an hour of pulling grass, he cried out that his back hurt. Just sat on a stone and was lazy, Zhao Laosan looked at it in his eyes, and didn't say anything, just did his own. Su Binghuai squinted his eyes and looked at his brother-in-law from time to time, for fear that he would be seen for being lazy, and he would be scolded again.

Zhao Laosan is a good hand at work, and after a while, the grass in these fields was shoveled out by a hoe. The purple-brown soil was exposed to the eyes, and the soil had just been washed away by the rain, and I could still smell the smell of earth.

"It's obviously just a little work, and my brother-in-law can do it himself, so he has to call us!" Su Binghuai hadn't been on the ground for a long time, and after pulling the grass for an hour, he felt a sore back, beads of sweat on his cheeks, and sat on the stones to gasp.

"If I don't call you here, I am afraid that in the future, I will not recognize my own fields!"

"What is my brother-in-law talking about, these pieces of land can be seen when you sit at the door of your house!" Su Binghuai wiped his sweat and looked sideways at Su Mi and Su Mu coming uphill with baskets.

Su Mi carried a basket containing water and steamed buns. When I arrived at the slope, I couldn't help but sigh when I saw that there was no weed in this place for only an hour, and my man was really capable.

"Husband, take a break and drink saliva!" Su Mi held a pair of white hands, holding an earthen bowl, holding a bowl of tea, and walked towards his man.

Originally, I was still a little tired, but when I saw my little lady, she smiled cutely, and there was a pair of watery apricot eyes embedded in her cheeks, and her heart was soft and took the water bowl: "Lady walk slowly, the grass on the surface of this ground seems to be gone, but there are still many vines inside, be careful to kick it!" ”

"Although this piece of land is sunny, the thatched roots are the most, and the son-in-law has to be busy!" After Su Mi finished speaking, he also picked up a hoe and began to turn over the ground. It looks very smooth, but when the soil is turned over, the soil is full of white thatch roots.

Looking sideways, I didn't think that Su Mi would be happy, a pair of soft pink peach lips rose, the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth was deep and shallow, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his densely curled eyelashes fluttered a few times: "Husband, this thatch root is still very tender, and it is the most delicious to chew and eat." ”

I saw my little lady squatting on the ground, her fair-skinned bare feet were just like sheep fat jade, and there were some beads of sweat on the tip of her small nose, gentle and charming.

Zhao Laosan had never eaten this thing, and when he saw Su Mi so strange, his thin lips opened slightly: "The lady actually likes to eat this thatched root?" ”

This Su Mi Cola is bad, seeing this white thatch root, green and tender, a pinch of crystal clear juice overflows, put it in the mouth and suck, the mouth is full of sweetness, and there is a fragrance.

"Husband, this green thatch can not only quench your thirst, but also quench your appetite!" Su Mi said as she bent down and picked out the most tender thatch with a pair of small hands and put it in the basket.

This Su Mi looked at his daughter,

couldn't help but smile: "Although this Mi'er is petite, she can cook, and the women of ten miles and eight towns can't compare, presumably her biological parents are cooks!" ”

Seeing Su Mu's smiling joke, Su Mi's heart was very warm, following behind Zhao Laosan, her own man was digging the ground, and she picked up thatch roots barefoot.

Soon it was a basket, wrapped in mud and with fat roots. Carried to the river, rolled up his sleeves, and poked and washed with a pair of small hands. The thatch in this basket is white and fat. Take one and put it in your mouth, squeak and eat it, there is a lot of juice, and it is called sweet between your mouth.

Thinking of her husband and brother and sister-in-law on the slope, Su Mi hurriedly went up the mountain. When he arrived on the hillside, Zhao Laosan had already turned over half of the soil. Su Binghuai and Su's mother hugged the grass roots they had cleaned up and threw them down the hillside.

Thinking that her sister-in-law was pregnant, Su Mi first handed the basket to her: "Sister-in-law, you can eat some, I remember when I was in the capital, every time I went to the ground, you liked to chew this grass root the most." ”

Gu Chunqiang's complexion was not good at all, his face was sallow and a little pale, and he ate it with the grass roots, and his originally dry mouth barely had a hint of sweetness.

Before I knew it, it was already evening, and the sky was gradually darkening, and I looked at this piece of land, and all the square ground had been turned out. Now I can grow some grain and manage it well, and in the autumn it will only be a little late, so I won't say that I don't have anything to eat.

"Tomorrow, bring some dung and water, water this soil thoroughly and double it, and you can sow seeds!" Zhao Laosan was carrying a hoe, he didn't sleep well last night, and he got up early in the morning, and now he feels a little tired.

Su Mi raised her eyes and saw that her brother and sister-in-law had already gone away, and Su Mi also went home to cook dinner. Knowing that his man was tired, a pair of small hands rubbed his strong arms, and held his face to wipe the sweat.

"My husband takes such a fancy to my mother's family, and I am very grateful!" In this neighboring village, I am afraid that only Zhao Laosan can do this, and all the people in the family move to his mother-in-law's house, and they still come to work from time to time.

"As long as the lady cares, I will take it to heart!"

In the night, Zhao Laosan's voice was low, his thin lips were closed, and Su Mi only felt that his heart was warm, like a spring breeze blowing.

At night, I am afraid that Su Mi will not be able to walk. Then he went down the hill from the smooth road on the side, and it was only half an hour longer to walk. As soon as he bypassed the mountainside, Su Mi saw a few loquat trees, this loquat tree grows in this mountain, people in the village rarely come on weekdays, and no one found that although they are not very full, they are also ripe.

Zhao Laosan hooked it with a hoe, and Su Mi stood on tiptoe and picked it off. Skinned, first fed to the man, and then eaten himself. This loquat was washed by the mountain rain, and it was sweet.

"Tomorrow, I'll take a basket and pick all the loquats, just in time to make wine and dry loquats!" Su Mi said while eating.

"If the lady makes wine, she can take it to the town and sell it, don't stay at her mother's house, for fear that my brother will drink all day!" Zhao Laosan knows Su Binghuai's temperament, he is too lazy to do anything, if he has wine, he is afraid that he will live with a wine bottle all day long.

"It's still the husband who thinks thoughtfully."

The man led the woman and walked slowly down the mountain, and when he got home, Su's mother had already made dinner. Su Binghuai shouted tiredly, and this Gu Chunqi also sat down on the chair, as if he had fallen apart.

"You two don't eat, you don't work all day and just eat!" Su's mother brought the food, and when she saw that the two of them were going to die, her heart was on fire.

This night's dinner was quite rich, and it was all about watching his son-in-law work hard, and his heart hurt him. I fried the only piece of bacon and bamboo shoots in the house, boiled the dried fish in tofu soup, and went to the river to pinch some water celery and stir-fry, and the gourds in the field were cut into thin strips and saladed.

Smelling the smell of rice, this Gu Chunqiang and Su Binghuai ran faster than anyone else, squatting on the chair in front of the table and gobbling it up. Seeing this, Zhao Laosan sat on a chair by the door, held the rice bowl, and took some dishes away to eat. Su Mi saw it in his eyes, and felt very sorry for his man.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you should let your husband eat some, if you don't have him, our family won't even have land!" Su Mi pouted, took the meat, paced to the man, and poured it into the man's bowl.

"It's only been a few months since I got married, and I forgot about my mother's family and only cared about my man!" Su Binghuai was eating fish while counting down his sister-in-law.

"Beware of getting stuck in a fishbone!" Su Mu shook her head, took half a basin of fish and meat, went to her son-in-law, sandwiched the fattest pieces, and put them in his bowl.

"Son-in-law eats everything, this pot of rice is finished, and there are cakes!" Su's mother was very gentle, and she was very relieved to see that her son-in-law was shirtless, just eating with his head buried in his head, and he didn't say much.

"This son-in-law is more useful than a son!" turned around and ridiculed Su Binghuai.

At night, Su Mi made the bed and bathed the man in warm water in the pot.
