Chapter 217: Giving Birth
Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui are picking up the outermost three acres of sand and gravel land one after another, and Mu Xiu is going to plant another acre of corn and the remaining two acres of watermelon.
The reason why Mu Xiu chose these crops is that they can fatten the land, although these wastelands have changed after her fertilization, but if they want to completely become fertile land, they still need to be maintained and cultivated.
"What is he going to do?" Mu Xiaocao looked at Mu Shui's thin figure, and his eyes were a little complicated.
Mu Xiu looked at Mu Shui the same, it was only more than half a month, Mu Shui had lost more than half of his weight, and the somewhat sturdy body that he had already raised was now as dark and thin as when he first came out of Mu's house.
"Sister, what do you think?" Mu Xiu is not Mu Shui's biological after all, although she is angry with Mu Shui, she is more unwilling for Zhou Shuilian and the original owner, and she looks at Zhou Shuilian's reaction, these days she always sighs, her eyes are always in a trance, she knows that Zhou Shuilian still has feelings for Mu Shui, and Mu Shui is now back with a disgraced face, and Zhou Shuilian is still soft-hearted.
And Mu Xiaocao is Mu Shui's daughter, and she is reborn and knows some things, so it is better to listen to Mu Xiaocao's opinion, and then see how to transform this father.
Mu Xiaocao bit her lower lip, she thought of Mu Shui's kindness to her in her previous life, and in order to help Mu Xiu escape from marriage, she finally broke her leg and died of infection, this father is not useless, but Mu Shui's behavior a few days ago made people feel unforgivable, Mu Xiaocao thought about it and thought about it, and her heart was also a little entangled.
"He likes to do things like this, so let's follow, since he has the strength to make cattle and horses over there, then he owes our mother, so make up for it." Mu Xiaocao's tone was still hateful.
"Then so be it, I don't know what my mother thinks." Mu Xiu nodded and asked.
"You don't know that person from our mother, you see her like this these days, I look at her, maybe I'm soft-hearted again." Mu Xiaocao sighed and said.
"If my mother can't let it go, then let's see his performance first, anyway, it won't be so easy for him to come back." Mu Xiu said.
As she was talking, Zhou Shuilian came to the field to deliver water with Mu Xiaohua and Li Pandi on her back, and when she saw Zhou Shuilian coming, Mu Shuilian looked at her straight and didn't say a word, while Zhou Shuilian didn't look at him, and shouted to the remaining few people, "Come and drink water and rest." ”
After Chen Xuhui straightened up and answered, he turned his head to look at Mu Shui, the corners of Mu Shui's mouth moved, and Zhou Shuilian said loudly at this time: "Those who don't matter, don't be ashamed." ”
Mu Shui's face immediately turned a little pale when he heard this, he continued to lean down and pick up stones again, Zhou Shuilian put the bamboo basket filled with water on the ground, turned around and left with the children.
Chen Xuhui picked up two bowls of water and glanced at Mu Xiu, but Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao retracted their gaze, and the two of them packed up and left.
Chen Xuhui scratched his head, these days, Mu Shui lives there with him, these days after Chen Xuhui eats at Mu Xiu's place, there will always be a bowl of leftover rice there, Chen Xuhui will take the leftovers back to Mu Shui to eat, and no one will say anything, as for why there is leftover food every time, Chen Xuhui doesn't know, and Chen Xuhui doesn't dare to ask
When all the work in the field was done, and it took almost ten days, Mu Xiu carefully cultivated the sweet potato seedlings at home, and planted all the sweet potatoes and peanuts with Mu Xiaocao.
Then after the three acres of wasteland were taken out, Mu Xiu began to cultivate seedless watermelons again. There are a lot of fruit seeds in Muxiu's space, including seedless watermelons.
Watermelons are delicious, but there are too many seeds, and at present, there are basically seeded watermelons, although seedless watermelons have been planted on a large scale in the sixties and exported abroad.
However, because seedless watermelons cannot reproduce offspring because they have no seeds, they must adopt the method of seed production every year, which is costly, and the planting requires technical guidance, so it is still difficult to promote.
But this is not difficult for Mu Xiu, she first soaked the seedless watermelon seeds in warm water at 55 degrees, stirred constantly, and the water temperature dropped to 30 degrees Celsius for six to eight hours.
Because the seed coat of seedless watermelon seeds is thicker, the shell must be broken to germinate smoothly, the easiest way is to "swallow", that is, wash and wipe the soaked seeds, put the umbilicus between the upper and lower teeth, and bite gently, you can hear the "click" sound.
After the seeds of seedless watermelon are cultivated, what needs to be done is to germinate, sow seeds, and manually pick the hat, which is relatively easy for Muxiu.
At noon, Mu Xiu went home to get lunch, but unexpectedly saw a man sitting in the yard, drinking water, and then Mu Xiu's memory immediately appeared in this person's memory.
"Uncle, here." Mu Xiu said hello, she stood next to the pressurized water well, and began to fetch water to wash her hands and face, Mu Xiu was very strange in her heart, why did this uncle-in-law come today, and what about the aunt? It's not that I'm pregnant, but my belly is definitely not small, so why do I still run around on such a hot day.
"Xiu, you can be regarded as back, the lunch is ready, in the pot, I will go to the county seat, your aunt is born." Zhou Shuilian was carrying a basket, covered with a red cloth, and carrying a small wooden flower on her back, and was about to go outside.
"Mother, how will you go, how do you go? The ox carts and donkey carts are all working in the fields, and when I wait for me, I will drive our ox carts back and send you to the county seat. Mu Xiu was not worried that Zhou Shuilian would take Xiaohua to the county seat.
Song Shengli also came back to his senses at this time, he came by shuttle, and he really forgot that there was no car now, and the shuttle bus back was going to be in the evening.
"Okay, then you can go." Zhou Shuilian urged.
"I'll pack up the food and take it to the field." Mu Xiu entered the kitchen, brought the food, and called Li Pandi to go to the field together.
"Xiu, why did you bring Brother Pan?" Mu Xiaocao asked strangely.
"My aunt is born, my aunt came to report the good news, my mother wants to go over to see my aunt, I will drive an ox cart to send them there, and there is no one in the house, so I will send my brother Pan over first." Mu Xiu took the food out like it and explained.
"Is our aunt born? Boys and girls? Mu Xiaocao instantly became energetic and asked curiously.
"Ah, I forgot to ask, I'll tell you when I come back at night, Xiaohua is asleep, put it in the shade, let Brother Pan watch, I'll go first." Mu Xiu jumped on the ox cart and rushed home.
With the ox cart, it is much more convenient to take things, Zhou Shuilian took advantage of Mu Xiu to go out, and packed a lot of things out, and when the ox cart arrived at the door, several people sat on it together, and after swaying for almost two hours, the three of them finally arrived at Song Shunli's home in the county seat.
