"Aqing, we still have to plant seedlings this year, let's go and breed them."

Jiang was cold in the courtyard, and Li Qing handed the washed clothes to Jiang.

Seedlings?

Indeed, the end of March is a good time to raise seedlings

Before the seedlings are planted in the field, they need to be raised in advance. Growing up in the countryside, Li Qing naturally knows how to do it.

"In the afternoon, I will go to the vegetable garden to open up a piece of land, mother, do you think our paddy field is about how wide is appropriate?"

Jiang said: "As much as in previous years, there will be as much this year." ”

Now Li Qing is more and more accustomed to the leisurely farming days here.

Every day you have to work, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They are relatively remote here, and there is only one Wang family within a radius, and the two families chatter together when they have nothing to do. As for the others, as long as Li Qing doesn't go to the fields, he hardly sees them.

It's just that some remarks in this village are not very good, and the Jiang family also scolded a few times, but their mouths are on them, and they can't keep their mouths shut.

As for these messages, it is nothing more than that: the Jiang family's feng shui is not good, the Jiang family married back the woman Kefu, the Jiang family's Kefu Kezi, and Li Qing stepped on a few boats...... The left and right are just some false rumors, and they can't affect Li Qing's strong heart for the time being.

There are always some long-tongued women in the village who find life boring and like to chew the root of their tongue.

After hastily gnawing a few steamed buns, Jiang soaked the seeds treasured by the family into the water, while Li Qing carried a small hoe to the trench, and the children of the family endorsed on the small platform that Li Qing had set up not long ago.

Raising seedlings is a delicate job.

Li Qing drew a square piece of land, rolled up his sleeves, and dug with a hoe. In order to make it easier to work, Li Qing usually wears pants, and his shirt hangs down to just cover his knees. Jiang often takes care of the vegetable garden, so the soil inside is not very solid, and it is called a refreshing one when digging up a hoe.

In just half an hour, Li Qing broke up a small piece of land, and she carefully built a layer around it to facilitate irrigation.

As expected, Jiang came over with two buckets of water. Li Qing is a person who can't resist on his shoulders, and the work of carrying water can only be done by Jiang. Together, the two of them drenched the ground.

"Ah Qing, there are my newly folded banana tree leaves behind the house, and I will use them later."

"Well, I'll bring you a piece of bamboo."

When he came to the vegetable garden again, Jiang had already sprinkled the soaked rice seeds evenly on the mud, and the dots were beautiful. Together, the two erected a canopy, covered it with plantain leaves, and put a few stones to protect them from the wind.

"Alright." Li Qing patted the mud on his hands, raised his eyes to look at Jiang, and then nodded with satisfaction. Sweat had soaked the cheeks of the two, and under the warm sun, they looked forward to Shenfei.

“…… Sow a hundred grains. The real letter is alive, and the post is up to it. There is a disgust with its masterpiece, a disgust with its seedlings, and a stretch of its muntjac. The sound of reading came to the vegetable garden, and Li Qing and Jiang looked at each other and smiled.

Not to mention, although the Jiang family is an ordinary village family, it can be regarded as a scholarly family. Originally, Jiang was illiterate when he was in the boudoir. But after she got married, under the influence of her in-laws, she successfully took off her illiterate hat and some ordinary books, which had no problem to read.

Yun Ji read this sentence exactly in "The Book of Songs", which is just in line with the scene of sowing seeds now.

Jiang Shi took the miscellaneous pieces and went to the wood tent, and Li Qing was ready to pick up the small hoe and go home to wash up. At this time, I saw a man in the shape of a man sneakily hiding under the small slope full of weeds.

Li Qing's heart was full of alarm bells, is the thing he is most worried about about about to happen? Li Qing expected that since that person was sneaky, she would definitely not dare to act recklessly, not to mention that she still had a weapon and a hoe in her hand.

I still have to inform Jiang about this, after all, Jiang is more experienced than her.

It is said that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and it is true.

There is no shortage of gangsters and the like.

The current law and order is not like that of later generations, many people here are directly outside the law, and there are many bullies occupying the land and widows being forced into prostitution.

Li Qing had to make some preparations in advance, and the first thing she thought of was Yunji, children were the most likely to be persecuted.

Just as Li Qing opened the fence door and was about to enter, the man jumped up from under the small slope like a monkey.

Li Qing made a defensive statement, and before Li Qing could ask who he was, the man said, "Xiao ...... Lady of the Jiang family, I came here to inform you that the village will worship the silkworm god tomorrow. The man waved his hand and smiled, but the clear desire in his eyes could not deceive people.

The man looked thin, with two whiskers on his mouth, in the shape of a figure-of-eight, slightly smaller eyes, and a somewhat obscene look, with a thief's eyebrows. When talking to Li Qing, his eyes kept rolling, looking east and west, as if he was stepping on a point.

"I remember that in previous years, it wasn't your sacrificial business?"

"Oooh." The man laughed dryly and said, "He is sick and begged me to come." ”

"Thank you for informing me." The implication is that you can go, and there is no tea at home for you to drink. Li Qing held the hoe and pestle in front of him, and did not salute, with no expression on his face. In the eyes of that person, this little lady is very individual, and evil thoughts flashed in her heart.

In order not to startle Li Qing, the man scratched his scalp and said, "I still have to go to the next house, so I will leave." ”

"Farewell."

Jiang Shi came out of the backyard, looked at the figure that walked away and asked, "Ah Qing, who is that?" ”

"Mother, did you meet some strange people back then? Some lower third-rate? ”

"Naturally, I have encountered it, but at that time, the Jiang family was still in the village, the ancestral shrine was also here, there was the blessing of the clan elders, and my mother's brother was not a vegetarian, as long as someone came, your mother and I would shout, and over time, those people would not dare to come, and my mother would keep the Jiang family's family business."

Hearing what the Jiang family said, Li Qing immediately analyzed the current situation, this time is different from the past, and regardless of whether the mother's family is unreliable, that is, the elders of the Jiang family have moved their families, and far water cannot quench their thirst.

"You mean? That man...... . Jiang scolded the man. Did he hurt you? ”

"No, he didn't dare to do anything to me in this blue sky. Mother, the man said that he would sacrifice to the silkworm god tomorrow. Li Qing said this together, and Jiang said: "It is indeed tomorrow, tomorrow on March 23, and the silkworm god must be sacrificed at this time of year." ”

Li Qing let out an "oh".

The silkworm god is also called Ma Tou Niang, is the god of this place, bless the people of Shilitang Village with a bumper harvest of silkworm cocoons this year, and everything goes smoothly.

"Don't be fooled." Jiang is old after all, and she is afraid that she will not be able to protect the two small ones.

Li Qing nodded, and both of them had serious faces, as if they were facing a great enemy. "The thorns have grown very well in the past two days, and I want to get some back."
