Chapter 247: Going Home
The recovery of everything in the spring means that the two of them are busy again. The farm manure that had been saved for the winter was mixed with the ashes and soil at the beginning of spring and burned. Using the small cart that the family already had, a cart was sent to the fields by the river.
Now the two are like a farmer couple, and they are also a hunter couple, working at sunrise and resting at dusk.
Last year, there was still less grain, but this year there are more more. There are more than twice as many varieties of rice as last year, and there are more good varieties of corn. After all the work, both of them were tanned, and they were tired and had back pain.
Then there was no free time, a new round of work began again, hoeing Shi Nan Zaixun said: "I don't know why there are no insects in this forest to the river, otherwise it will be troublesome to get rid of insects." ”
Su Wei straightened up and beat his waist: "It's no insects, but I saw a mouse at home yesterday, and he was not afraid of people." ”
"I saw it a few days ago, and I ran away before I had time to fight."
"Next time I see it, kill it quickly, otherwise I will infect the two of us with something after eating our things."
More than a month later, Su Wei was chilling in the courtyard with Nan Zaixun, and at her feet squatted the little mouse that had almost been killed.
Before eating, she took out some small plates in front of the mouse: "Yu porridge, don't waste food when you eat well." ”
Nam Jae-hoon sat next to her and ate, glanced at the little mouse and asked, "Why is it called Yu Congee?" ”
Su Wei wouldn't tell Nam Jae-hoon about his troubles, so he said nonsense: "I once had a classmate surnamed Yu, who hated that kind of thing very much, and boiled him into porridge to relieve his hatred!" ”
Nam Jae-hoon smiled, pointed at the little mouse and said, "So it's called Yu porridge?" What did your classmate not know about when he found out? ”
Su Wei's eyes flashed, and he thought that one day Yu Zhou really knew about this mouse, what would he be in his mood? Feeling a little cool, don't you?
Nam Jae-hoon learned a lot of Chinese, and Su Wei also learned a lot of Korean, and the two of them spoke in a mess of two languages, sometimes mixed with a few English words, but they both understood what the other was saying. If you listen to it differently, you will almost not understand which United Chinese language it is.
This summer is particularly tiring, because I know what is lacking from the experience of the previous year, and I will make up for it more this year. For example, salted fish, as long as it catches up with a good day, it will be dried, and the pickled fish will never break in the jar.
This year's fat and whatever grows is better than the previous year, and the corn seems to be better when boiled than the previous year.
With experience in growing sweet potatoes and potatoes in sandy soil, I expect to harvest better quality this autumn.
There were six chickens in the house, the male was killed and stewed in chicken soup, and the remaining one was an older hen who was very diligent in laying eggs, and could lay about five eggs a week. The other four small ones were lucky, and only one male was ready to be kept for the winter. The other three hens also began to lay eggs, so that both of them had eggs to eat every day.
In the spring, another wild boar fell into the trap, and there were still a few piglets at the edge of the trap and refused to go. As a result, the little piglets were carried home, and the big sow was dragged back to continue to marinate the salted pork and continue to boil the lard.
Every day, I have to cut a lot of pigweed and come back to feed the piglets, and in the autumn Nam Jae-hoon asked, "Do you need to give the pigs some food?" ”
"You don't need to give too much food, I once saw in a female writer's book the way of raising pigs in the old days, putting corn stalks in a tank and adding water to ferment, and the sticky matter that came out was added to corn flour, plus some wild vegetables to feed pigs to eat particularly long meat."
"Daughter-in-law, you are really powerful, and that female writer is also very powerful." Nam Jae-hoon is not fooling Su Wei, he thinks she is very powerful every day, and he will never be stingy with praise from the bottom of his heart.
This sentence "daughter-in-law" was asked by Nam Jae-hoon to Su Wei, and asked her how to call her wife in her hometown, so she taught him this sentence.
It's autumn harvest time again, and the two are busy in the dark, grabbing the crops and coming back to dry them slowly. They were cleaned up and stored in the same way, and there were a lot of winter vegetables stored in the cellar.
Even roasted sweet potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes can be eaten with their belly open.
The chickens are taken into the outhouse, and every day they are sprinkled with plant ash under the chicken coop made of branches, and when they are collected, they are dumped into the dung heap and kept for the next year's farm fertilizer. The smell of chickens in the house is terrible, but this winter may not be short of eggs.
The pig house is made of twigs and reeds for two people, and the outside is covered with a layer of mud to keep warm. Nam Jae-hoon looked forward to the next year, saying that it would be enough for these pigs to kill one in a few months.
But this autumn, Su Wei disappeared, but Nam Jae-hoon couldn't leave it. Later, Su Wei came back and brought back a lot of things that were not available here. I packed a big suitcase with the seasoning alone, and a new pair of sneakers for Nam Jae-hoon.
The most important thing is what she thinks is the most important, and the other suitcase is full of candles. There were two large bags of laundry detergent in the backpack, several large bottles of shampoo, a dozen bars of soap and two dozen pieces of toothpaste.
Nam Jae-hoon hugged her tightly with red eyes: "Where have you been these days, I can't leave it, and I can't find you." ”
"I went home, and I got up that day to go to the toilet in the outhouse, and I came back home. I didn't leave when my dad was sick and hospitalized, and I prepared these things after my dad had a recheck. ”
"Then how did you come here from home again?"
Su Wei took off his backpack and said excitedly: "You don't know, I kept thinking about this side from my own bedroom, when I pushed the door, and then I came over, and I didn't have to make any effort." ”
Su Wei left and came back this time, which greatly improved the lives of the two. The food tastes much better, the clothes can be washed, and the candles at night are not so smoky, and they are much brighter than oil lamps.
The key thing is that she also brought a few power banks and two small rechargeable flashlights, and she is still studying whether she can go back again, she wants to carry a bag of flour back. There is also the fact that Nam Jae-hoon's hair has grown very long, and she has repaired it once with scissors but it is ugly, thinking about whether it would be better to buy an electric hair clipper.
After she finished speaking, Nam Jae-hoon asked, "Since you can go back and come back, can I too?" ”
Su Wei looked at him fixedly, he saw the panic in her eyes, and comforted with a smile: "I won't go alone, I'll take you with me, if you can, you can go together, and if you can't go, you can stay together." ”
Su Wei was relieved now, but Nan Zaixun said again: "Take me to your house, I think I should meet your parents, after all, you have been with me for so long, and I haven't thanked them yet, it's really rude." ”
"Okay, then I'll see if I can go back at night, you can avoid them first. When you've got a haircut, I'll take you home. ”
In fact, the long-haired Nam Jae-hoon is not only not ugly, but Su Wei tied up the hair on the top of his head at the back of his head, and the braid looked very two-dimensional, and he often stared at him with Su Wei's fascination, so he was almost a joke.
He was a little fond of those coarse cloth traditional clothes, with this hairstyle, and his current healthy complexion, like a samurai in the second dimension.
The two of them really arrived at Su Wei's hometown, and it was really late at night as they wished. Quietly sneaked out of Su Wei's house and stayed in a small hotel that did not require ID card registration. The next morning, Nam Jae-hoon went out to get a haircut, and Su Wei used her little savings to buy clothes for him.
Gifts for parents are not very expensive, but Su Wei knows what they like.
When introducing himself, Nam Jae-hoon said that he was still studying in the United States, and Su Wei didn't understand why he didn't tell his true situation.
He enjoys watching her family's TV, especially TV shopping shows.
Nam Jae-hoon disappeared and disappeared into Su Wei's house, and more than a month later, Su Wei got a visa to go to South Korea, but disappeared from the hospital before leaving.
She went to get a physical examination sheet for Comrade Lao Su, but she disappeared before she could be picked up.
