020 You're happy
Li Hua just checked the big situation in Liuwa Village and found that the concept of terraced fields has not yet been made here, so it seems that the fields are scarce, but in fact, the land utilization rate is extremely low.
Happily, there is no shortage of water here, and there is a small river flowing around Liuwa Village for a long time, which is enough to irrigate the fields.
After all, Liu is a veteran of growing crops, listening to Li Hua's arrangement, his hands are working non-stop, and he is still skeptical in his heart.
"It's winter, and you can't grow anything, right? Originally, in my hometown, the family's fields had to rest for half a year, and I couldn't count on anything from the frost to the spring of the next year. ”
But Li Hua, who has never planted crops, becomes more and more confident: "Look at this ditch, you can't feel the wind, right?" Do you feel quite warm? The cold here is soothed compared to my hometown, and I feel that it is no problem to grow vegetables, and I may be able to eat a round of fresh vegetable seedlings before the year. ”
The three little ones had no objection to any instructions, and they were quite happy to help, and the children did not like to dig holes in the ground, and they made themselves dusty on their hands, and the laughter could be heard for a mile.
Li Qiang's cough turned out to be better, he didn't say anything uncomfortable after playing for so long, the little guy was very smart, and he really didn't reveal the secret of his sister secretly feeding him medicine and drinking sugar juice with his mother.
After nearly two hours of busy work, a cave-like thing of about ten square meters was formed, and the earth and stone were flattened in front of the cave layer by layer, and a few naturally growing shrubs were specially preserved and pruned, which was very wild.
Liu planned the area for planting vegetables according to the requirements of the eldest daughter, and then, sadly, remembered that they were currently penniless, what to buy vegetable seeds?
"Leave this to me. As for you, let's build a stove and cook first. ”
Li Hua once again lifted the iron pot without ears and went to the small river to hold water.
There were also a few women washing clothes by the river, talking to each other from a distance, and the mallets crackled.
"You're a new refugee, aren't you? What's the girl's name? How many people are in the family? You're ten years old, aren't you? ”
The woman who was closest asked in a sharp voice across the river.
Li Hua is not used to this kind of response occasion, she would not be good at dancing with long sleeves when she was the eighteenth generation of the Li Martial Arts Gym, and now this small body is even less good at it.
So he just nodded, scooped up the water and left.
Behind them, the women who got a new topic: "Whose child is this ignorant...... The newcomers don't know how many times they beg for help......"
Li Hua was speechless, indeed, he chose a new place to settle down, he was unfamiliar with the place, he was penniless, he counted dozens of catties of rice grain, an iron pot and a mattress, and he had to borrow someone else's belongings to dig a hole.
But so what? This girl is not a master who can beg for help!
However, after handing over the pot to the Liu family, Li Hua went to Lizheng's house with a shovel and a hoe, and in addition to returning the family's goods, he also gave a big gift.
I don't like to ask for help, but she is not the master of Qinggao, so she should thank others.
Li Hua gave two servings of brown sugar taken out of the martial arts hall, removed the plastic packaging, and replaced them with a few leaves that had not yet dried up.
Brown sugar is a precious thing, as soon as it is taken out, Lizheng's wife's eyes lit up, grabbed it in front of Lizheng, and praised it: "This sugar is really fine!" It just so happens that the daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and she can use it for confinement. ”
Originally, I was very unhappy to lend a shovel and hoe at home......
Li Zheng had to be polite: "Li Hua, girl, right?" You see, it's not easy for you to flee, just get brown sugar and eat it yourself. ”
Li Hua said his request straightforwardly: "What about this brown sugar, a bag is to thank you for taking care of it; A bag is to exchange some vegetable seeds with your family. This is not the family has nothing to do, just about 20 catties of grain, my mother wants to plant some vegetables first to see if it can grow, so that she can stutter more. ”
Straight daughter, born.
Li Zheng's wife preemptively said again: "Want vegetable seeds? Yes, yes, I'll get it for you. ”
The value of vegetable seeds and brown sugar is too different, Liu Lizheng was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to say: "I see that you don't even have a bucket at home, which is really inconvenient." I have an old one in my house, you can use it first. ”
This is timely rain, Li Hua wants to cry with gratitude, God knows how many brain cells she spent, and she couldn't find a reason to conjure up a plastic bucket, plastic basin or stainless steel basin.
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Li Zheng rest assured, I will go into the city to buy some household goods tomorrow, and I will return the bucket to you."
Li Zheng's wife, who was holding the vegetable seeds with a wandering face, immediately laughed: "Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, it will take two more days." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Li Hua couldn't make out what these seeds could grow, but fortunately there was Liu at home.
There were two packets of brown sugar, and Liu Lizheng took the initiative to give a road guide for Li Hua to use when he entered the city the next day.
"Originally, there was no need for such trouble, since the border began to fight, there were displaced people, and the inner and outer cities of the imperial city needed guidance. Li Hua, girl, you only buy in the outer city, but don't go to the inner city, there are powerful officials inside, you have collided with it......
Li Hua's thanks this time were even more sincere, his heart was still warm when he left Lizheng's house, and it was still correct for him to choose to settle nearby.
Since brown sugar is popular, you can consider selling it in the Imperial City tomorrow and use the money to buy the necessities of this era.
When all kinds of waste are in full swing, this kind of energy is needed, so that when he met Li Sanzhuang and Xiaoshun on his back, Li Hua had a smile on his face.
Li Sanzhuang is a strange person, and when he saw his eldest niece who had changed his temperament, he gritted his teeth and gave a sentence directly: "Lang Zhong said that Xiaoshun's fever can't go down, and there is no way!" Are you happy? ”
What do you mean by "happy"? Li Hua was stunned for a moment before remembering Xiaoshun's fever.
It is not easy for children to survive these years, especially if they get sick, cold and flu can be fatal.
The "happy" black pot Li Hua couldn't carry it, didn't he see seven or eight villagers gathering on the road smoking dry tobacco and chattering? I still have to stay in Liuwa Village!
"Let's make it clear first, your son's illness has nothing to do with me, what should I be happy about when Lang Zhong said that he can't cure the disease? On the way this morning, I remind you not to cover your children, will you listen? Don't put a basin on my head! ”
The attention of the villagers on the side of the road all turned, Li Hua left with the wooden barrel, and the muscles on her head jumped, she actually wanted to care about Xiaoshun's condition, after all, it was a life. But Lao Li's family is really difficult, she doesn't dare to provoke it!
However, not long after returning to the newly dug hole, the difficult old Li family still came to the door with a hot child on their backs, and the content of the cry turned out to be "It is Xiaoshun who is harmed by Li Daya, I want Xiaoshun to die in your house, so that you are not clean......"
