Chapter 357: Day by day

Xia Qiqi put Xiao'er to sleep before leaving Yu Guixiang's house.

When she came out, Hua'er was carrying a bucket of pig food and walking towards the pigsty.

Xia Qiqi hurriedly went up and stretched out his hand to pick up the pig food bucket.

"Sister, let's come to the flowers! You don't let me and Duo'er go to the field to help you, other things, Duo'er and I can't do it, we can pull the grass! Flowers said.

"It's okay, the eldest sister has more strength than you, carry a bucket, don't get tired!"

Xia Qiqi took the barrel from Hua'er and carried it to the pigsty.

The pigs in the pigsty are still the wild boars that Lu Jiu caught at the beginning.

At the beginning, it was kept outside, tied with a rope.

Now that the pigs are getting bigger and bigger, Xia Duofu and Ah Jiu are next to them and have built a pigsty.

The pigsty is not small, there are two rooms, one is put the family's firewood and miscellaneous goods, and the other is a real pig.

In the pig pen, the little piglets are quite fat, and the pig hair is a little shiny.

This is also thanks to the nettle seeds collected by Xia Qiqi last year, after grinding them into powder, they are mixed with a little bit of pig food every time, and the longer the time, the longer the pig, the better.

By the end of this year, you will be able to kill the New Year's pigs and eat them.

Xia Qiqi approached the pigpen, the piglet in the pigpen stretched out the pig's trotters, looking like he was going to climb the wall, thinking about it, he couldn't wait, waiting for this stutter.

Xia Qiqi happily fed the pig food and cleaned up the pigsty.

When he came out, Lu Jiu also came back from the mountains.

When he went, he brought with him a few straw ropes, a flat pole, and a set of bows and arrows.

When I came back, I brought these tools back, not to mention, and carried a lot of prey on my shoulders.

His sister Doll was circling around Lu Jiu, and he caught a hare, a pheasant, and a small roe deer, but it was dead.

"Qiqi, Ah Jiu caught it, come and take a look!"

Xia Duofu excitedly called Xia Qiqi.

She greeted her, and the bucket of pig food in her hand was placed at her feet.

"This rabbit and pheasant are alive, keep them!" Xia Duogui on the side said.

"Then find a cage, rabbits are not easy to raise! Pheasants are easy to raise, give some bud grain, a little brown rice, it should be fine! Otherwise, you can dig earthworms in the field! Xia Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, why don't we finish the spring sowing in the field and catch a dozen chickens to raise? Anyway, Hua'er and Duo'er are also at home, and it's convenient for the two of them to take care of the chickens! Chardorf proposed.

Xia Qiqi has long wanted to buy dozens of chickens.

When you raise it, you can lay eggs, and eggs are nutritious and cheap.

In the future, the two younger sisters grow up, and they can't do without eggs, as well as millet, and rice cereal is eaten, which is egg custard, if they all rely on buying, where can they afford it.

"Dad, when Ming'er sows the seeds of the three acres of fields, Ah Jiu and I will go to Liujia Village in front to buy chicks! There are many chickens in Liujia Village, and there are definitely more chicks than elsewhere. ”

Xia Qiqi's arrangement, everyone has no opinion.

"Cheng, just do what Qiqi says! Your sixth uncle and I will go to Yangshugou first, plough the land, and prepare the land! Xia Duofu said.

"Cow, how can Dad solve it?" Xia Qiqi asked.

"Your Uncle Feng Hu has a friend in Yangshugou, I told him the day before yesterday, he said that he said hello to me yesterday, I will go directly to his friend!" Chateau said.

Xia Qiqi was relieved.

"Then dad will go first, I have breakfast with Ah Jiu, I'll soak the seeds, and tomorrow will go to sow the seeds!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Everyone has their own duties, and they are busy with our own things.

Lu Jiu took a bamboo basket out and put all three rabbits in it.

As for the pheasant, Xia Qiqi threw it into the chicken coop, put a handful of brown rice down, and poured a few scoops of water, and within a day, he didn't care about the pheasant.

Lu Jiu walked around the mountains, and his body looked dirty.

But Xia Qiqi didn't get much better, she just got out of the pigsty, and her body was stinky, so she had to wash it.

After two basins of water, Xia Qiqi rushed to Lu Jiu and said, "Hurry up and wash, wash, let's have breakfast together!" ”

Lu Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized that Qiqi was waiting for him without breakfast.

He suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the smile on his face increased a little.

Xia Qiqi continued: "Does my body stink? Is it all the smell of pig? ”

Lu Jiu shook his head while washing his hands, "It's not smelly, it's fragrant!" ”

When Xia Qiqi heard this, he smiled like a fool.

"By the way, my mother asked me about the marriage today, and I said that it would be enough to announce it to the people in the village, do you have no opinion?"

Xia Qiqi told Lu Jiu about the engagement before.

I also talked about getting married, but I didn't know much about it.

Lu Jiu stopped washing his hands, looked at Xia Qiqi and said, "What do you want?" ”

"Huh?"

Xia Qiqi was stunned, was he asking her what she wanted?

"No, there's nothing you need!"

The money, she is slowly saving, and all the money he saved back is handed over to herself, and she has not hidden any of it.

Besides, other things also cost money to buy, and she didn't need them.

Lu Jiu didn't speak, but in his heart, he made up his mind.

He wants to give Qiqi a gift, a gift that no one else has!

After washing his hands, Xia Qiqi took another basin of water and washed his face, and finally there was no pig feces on his body.

The dumplings and porridge she made in the morning were all put on the table.

Afraid that Lu Jiu would not be able to eat enough, he temporarily put down a bowl of noodles, and the meat used was the roe deer shot to death by Lu Jiu in the yard.

Lu Jiu chewed the sweet noodles in his mouth, and the meat in the bowl was all allocated to Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi saw it, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.

Yo, I know that I will share my own food.

Sharing is also the word that Xia Qiqi taught Lu Jiu, although most of the time, he is protective of food.

But to be able to do this, Xia Qiqi is already satisfied.

After breakfast, Xia Qiqi skinned the roe deer, scraped all the minced meat on the roe deer skin, and hung it on the bamboo pole in the yard.

The roe deer meat was sprinkled with salt, salted in the stove room, and covered with a pot lid.

After doing all this, she began to soak seeds.

The rice used for sowing seeds should be soaked in hot water and sterilized beforehand.

Then use the temperature of hot water to allow the seeds to germinate.

Xia Qiqi is very skilled in these procedures.

In less than a morning, the seeds were soaked and placed in the haystack.

This morning, she was in the yard, and the people from the old Xia family didn't come to look for trouble.

However, Xia Qiqi estimated that it was because Lin Wangshan came back and everyone was busy scolding him.

Xia Qiqi really didn't guess wrong, Lin Wangshan only came back yesterday.

Today, many people are going to Lao Xia's house.

The name of the Lin family is not small in Ping'an Town, Lin Wangshan is the son-in-law of the Lin family, and everyone wants to please Lin Wangshan, and then climb the relationship with the Lin family.

……

……

In the corner of the backyard of Lao Xia's house, Zhang's eyes were staring at the guests who came and went, and his mouth couldn't close with a smile.
