Chapter 33: Spring Mud

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Ouyang Chengjin and his wife went out to work.

Jiang Cui asked Ouyang to go home and do this today, and let Ouyang go home and do that tomorrow.

One day, Li Qing asked

"Ouyang, is your dad still in the oil mill?"

"It's been a long time since I did, and the two of us quit not long after.

The newly built flour mill was shut down two months later due to serious losses.

All those workers were dismissed and returned home, and my father went home last year. “

"No wonder, I often see the cashier alone, sitting in the sales department"

"Of course, now the oil mill is in the office, and the three of them are contracted."

There are very few people on the street during the spring ploughing season, and there is no business in the store.

Ouyang asked Li Qing to go home and live in the Qing Dynasty.

"Li Qing, let's go home and live together, you are alone

It's not good to take Mengmeng in the store, just these two roller shutters, you can't pull them down, hehehe"

"I let others pull it for me, at least here, I'm free"

"Then I'm not at ease, let's go home, the place at home is also big, and I'm not aggrieved when I'm cute."

"Well, okay, let's go"

Ouyang Lei repaired the small walk-behind tractor at home,

The father and son helped the pear fields of the village and other families to earn some money.

Plough your own field in your spare time, and then you can use a hoe to break up the large mud blocks, rake them flat and plant seedlings.

One day, as soon as the sky was bright, Ouyang went to someone else's house to plow the field.

Jiang Cui, who raised his head and chested up, pushed open the door of the east house, his eyes were bulging, and he said:

"Oops! Got up, when was it, still sleeping, Ouyang had been working for two hours! You're still there

Sleep at home, you really have everything, rely on Ouyang to do it, while Meng Meng doesn't wake up, we will work in the fields,"

"Huh? Oh,"

Li Qing rubbed his eyes and got up with a yawn.

put Mengmeng urine, put it on the bed, covered it with a thin quilt, and Mengmeng tilted her head again and fell asleep.

Li Qing was ready to wash his face and brush his teeth,

"Oh, what kind of teeth to brush, I've grown so big, I'm almost fifty, I never brush my teeth, I can still bite the broad beans in one bite,

Wash? It's not dawn yet, so I don't see you

So poor and exquisite.

Doing farm work better than others and faster than others is the ability. “

Li Qing gathered his hair, put on his coat, and pulled his shoes to the back of the hall door.

I touched a hoe, carried it, and came to the edge of the field.

Jiang Cui took off her shoes and went down to the field, and glanced back at Li Qing,

"Hey! Why are you standing there, I asked you to come and see? It's funny, it's like, which leader are you, but

Pity... Your dad is a leader, but unfortunately he is gone. ”

Jiang Cui still swallowed back the next sentence.

Jiang Cui saw Li Qing, still standing on the ridge, frowning slightly, three steps and two steps from the field.

Stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Qing's sleeve, and dragged it to the field, Li Qing shook his hand vigorously,

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Cui let go of his hand, jumped into the field in a huff, and struck the mud with a hoe.

Li Qing walked to the other end of Jiang Cui, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and went down to the field with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

In early spring, the water in the field was cold and biting, Li Qing shivered, waved his hoe, and knocked the big mud into small pieces one by one.

Two hours later,

Jiang Cui and Li Qing, coming up from the field,

Li Qing carried his shoes and a hoe, returned to the door, put down the hoe, washed his hands and the mud on his feet, put on his shoes, and went straight to the room.

Before Mengmeng woke up, Li Qing picked her up and pouted

'Shhhh

Put the pee, look at the cute head twisted, eyes closed, and spilled the pee.

Li Qing put Mengmeng on the bed again, Mengmeng stretched out her arms and fell asleep again.

Li Qing gently kissed her cute little face, her eyebrows stretched out, and the corners of her mouth rose.

"Piggy-like, hehehe"

Looking at the cute appearance, Li Qing temporarily forgot about the unhappiness that had just happened.

Li Qing walked out of the room gently, closed the door, and saw if breakfast was cooked.

As soon as he stepped out of the back door, Jiang Cui walked out of the kitchen,

Jiang Cui glared at Li Qing and said angrily

"What are you looking at? By the time you cook the porridge, we'll all faint from hunger. ”

After the field rake is flattened, the next step is to plant the seedlings, pull the seedlings out of the field, bundle them into a handful, and use the bamboo baskets made of bamboo, and pick them up to the ridges.

"Ouch! Li Qing, you can't pull seedlings, don't go to the seedling field to get in the way,

You wash our clothes and cook them for breakfast.

After breakfast, we will plant seedlings with us."

Li Qingtian didn't light up, so he soaked the dirty clothes in a large wooden basin in the footbasin.

Then go to cook porridge, boil the porridge, simmer it in an iron pot, rub your clothes, put it in a basket, run to the room and pee it,

Put it back on the bed again, Meng Meng didn't open her eyes, and went to sleep.

Li Qing covered the door, fastened the hinges outside the door, carried two large baskets of clothes, and went down to the river.

Coming up from the river, Li Qing put down the basket and walked hurriedly

Seeing that Mengmeng was sleeping soundly in the room, Li Qing smiled slightly and went to the balcony to dry his clothes.

Jiang Cui and Ouyang father and son also came back after pulling the seedlings from the seedling field.

"Ouch! You see, I really can't do anything with her, I tell her, she will move, just cook some porridge, I don't know how to fry the leftovers from yesterday."

Ouyang heard it

"Mom, I'll fry it"

"Ouch son, you're so tired from work that you can't straighten your waist, you're here to fry? You take a break and ask her to fry! “

"Mom, let's fry it, Mengmeng is about to wake up, Li Qing still wants to dress Mengmeng."

"Ouyang, you know that all day long, protect her, I am your old mother, I'll fry her!"

Jiang Cui beat three eggs, fried the rice, and put it in three bowls.

Ouyang's father and son each have a bowl, and Jiang Cui has a bowl by himself.

"Son, call your dad for breakfast,"

"Mom, wait a minute, Li Qing is still here, dress Wang Wang"

"Ouyang, you come and have breakfast first, you have to work after breakfast, she doesn't know how to be in a hurry, and you are not in a hurry.

There is so much work to do, and people's daughters-in-law do farm work with one top two, and she is not as good as one person!

You see you marry an embroidered pillow back. “

Ouyang Lei walked into the kitchen, Jiang Cui handed a bowl of fried rice to Ouyang Lei, and then handed Ouyang a bowl,

"Eat quickly, finish eating, hurry up and get to work"

Jiang Cui picked up a bowl of fried rice by herself,

"Ouyang, give you some more rice, the fried rice is too dry, I can't get used to it"

Half of it was given to Ouyang with chopsticks, Ouyang didn't ask so much, quickly finished the meal, divided it by two, and ate a bowl of porridge.

"Mengmeng, are you up? Have you washed your little face?

Li Qing went to breakfast, I'll feed Mengmeng,"

"Ouyang, crush the boiled egg yolk and stir it in the porridge,"

"Okay"

When Li Qing went to the kitchen, the lid of the iron pot for cooking porridge was not covered.

On the stove are three pairs of dishes and chopsticks that have been eaten.

Li Chun finished the leftover, two bowls of warm porridge.

Washing pots and dishes,

"Hey, Li Qing, you work harder, we're all going to go to the field, you're still grinding and chirping"

Jiang Cui specially found two small bamboo baskets, standing on the ridge angrily,

threw it in front of Li Qing and squinted at Li Qing

"You have a small body, you can't pick up a big bamboo basket, just use this small bamboo basket to pick it, you run faster, you won't work less than others"

Jiang Cui went down to the field, still muttering

"Work slowly,"

Ouyang Lei bowed his head and was silent.
