After eating, Jiangxi and the old man went to the town together, and saw that there were already people loading dung and water on the ox cart, and the cart was carried to his field.

The smell of fecal water is very big, and most people are going to vomit when they smell it, and their family in Jiangxi also chose this time point in the afternoon, and there are not many people in the town, so they asked someone to pull this thing.

What is unsmellable to man is the best fertilizer for the crops in the field.

In this era when there was no urea ammonium carbonate, we could only rely on the manure of livestock.

The droppings of ducks and chickens in Jiangxi's house were collected and thrown into the ground.

Although manure is good, it should not be used too much, and it needs to be watered again in a few days after fertilization, so that the fertilizer is too heavy and the crops are burned.

Watering should have been very troublesome, after all, twenty acres of land, but at the suggestion of Jiangxi, their family dug a canal so that the water in the river could flow through.

In this way, the canal only needs to be opened every time and irrigation can be carried out directly.

Some people in the village, after seeing their family doing this, also started digging canals.

However, the farmland of those families is not as concentrated as theirs, and some of them are connected together, and there are many conflicts because of who will contribute to digging the canal, especially the people of the Lizheng family, who have quarreled with several families.

The people in the village, looking at the Li Zheng family, revealed even more anger.

The three-year period of changing Lizheng is coming, and at this juncture, there is such a thing in the Lizheng family.

Li Zheng was so anxious that every day when he came home, he scolded his mother-in-law, saying that she was always looking for trouble.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law didn't care about it at first, until Li Zheng looked for the mayor of the town to no avail, and saw that this position was about to fall into the hands of a young man, so she was anxious and came to Jiangxi's house to make trouble.

"I said what's the matter with you, don't you have a good relationship with the mayor of the town, why did your second aunt and grandfather have an accident, you don't know how to go to the town to help talk about it!"

As soon as Lizheng's daughter-in-law rushed into the door of her house, she made all kinds of accusations, and she didn't notice at all that there were still many young daughters-in-law sitting in Jiangxi's house, all of whom came to embroider and make insoles of clothes with the Li family.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law scolded all the time, and then she was dumbfounded.

She dared to scold the people in Jiangxi's family directly because she knew that the Li family was thin-skinned, and even if she scolded them, it wouldn't be okay.

But there are so many young daughters-in-law sitting here, and two of them are still fast-mouthed, and if they say it, their face will be lost.

"You...... Why are you guys here. Li Zheng's daughter-in-law's old face froze, and she glared at Li again, thinking that Li must have done it on purpose, knowing that she would come, so she let a large group of people sit here and prepare to watch her jokes.

Li's words and eyes for Lizheng's daughter-in-law, that is, this second aunt, are simply inexplicable.

"Second aunt, what are you talking about, why does our family have a good relationship with the mayor's family."

"You can get the land in town, and you dare to say that you don't have a good relationship?" Li Zheng's daughter-in-law didn't think about it, so she replied.

There was a daughter-in-law next to her who snorted: "Yo, you know that you came to find the Jiang family, who said before that people don't recognize relatives, and you will never interact with others again." ”

Several other people also agreed, making Lizheng's daughter-in-law faceless, and finally she could only go back in disgust.

In the evening, Jiangxi came back from outside, and she and the old man had been running in the field for several days, and they were so tired that they were almost lying down.

After dinner, lying on the small bed with Li, Li talked about today's daytime.

"Xi'er, you said that this election is such a big thing, can our family speak, your second aunt came over today and scolded, and my mother felt uncomfortable when she heard it."

"Mother, don't pay attention to her, what our family said must not be counted. The mayor of the town has said that this is up to the whole village to choose by themselves, they can't be popular, and it will be in vain to find someone again. ”

As she spoke, Jiangxi wrapped the quilt tightly, and as soon as winter entered here, the temperature plummeted, especially in the winter night, she felt that it was almost zero degrees now.

"Mother, let's burn the kang in our house from tomorrow, now everything in this house is all in order, and it's not so difficult. I don't think we'll be cold. ”

Li exhaled a breath of white air in his mouth, helped Jiang Xi pinch the corner of the quilt, looked at the cold sky outside the window, and sighed softly.

"Burn it, we have enough firewood, and when it is warm tomorrow afternoon, my mother will go up the mountain to see if I can pick up some more branches and come back."

When we talk about going up the mountain, we don't mean going to the hill where their house was located, but a small hill not far behind the village, where the trees are luxuriant, and in winter there are very dead branches falling, and the diligent people will choose to go up the mountain at this time to pick up branches.

Usually, the men are busy with the work in the fields, and the women go for a walk in the mountains, carrying a small basket, and if they are lucky, they can pick up a soap horn or two, and sometimes they can come across pine nuts.

Although there are many pine trees on this mountain, as soon as the pine nuts are ripe, they are dragged away by squirrels.

The people in the village are very friendly to squirrels and think this little thing is cute, but some half-grown boys want to catch and play, but squirrels are clever and difficult to catch.

In winter, in addition to squirrels, there are other things on the mountain, Jiangxi heard the people in the village say that last year the rich family hit a wild boar and came back, and the three brothers got it back together, and the whole village shared some meat, and the rest they also ate an east.

Even the wild boar skin was bought by the merchants from the town, and they gave a lot of money.

So this year, there are also many people who are ready to move, planning to go to the mountains to catch another one and come back.

The Jiangxi family didn't have this idea, first, because the thing was hard to find, and second, even if it did, her family didn't have enough manpower to bring it back.

Jiang Xi and Li were talking, and suddenly Li said something.

"Xi'er, I heard people say today that many little girls in that town are going to wrap their little feet, and some people in our village are also wrapping, do you want to ......?"

"Don't!" Before Li could finish asking, Jiang Xi refused.

Nonsense, if you want her to wrap her little feet, can you agree to this?

Wrapping small feet, in this era, seems to be a particularly foreign thing, but for her, a person from modern times, she can't agree with it at all.

Wrapping her little feet is not only harmful to her body, but also represents the oppression and exploitation of women by men.

"Mother, I don't wrap my feet, I can't do anything if I wrap my feet, I can't even walk too far, so I don't want to wrap them."

Li was stunned for a moment, she thought at first that Jiangxi was not bound to her feet, because she was afraid that the family would spend an extra amount of money, and she still thought that she didn't care about this, as long as it was good for Jiangxi, it was nothing to give a sum of money.

"Xi'er, you really don't want to be wrapped? I've heard people say that the people in the town and the city are wrapped. Those who have bound their feet will marry better in the future. ”

If someone else said this, Jiangxi would definitely scoff at it.

"Mother, I'm still early, let's talk about this kind of thing later. The most important thing now is to make our family better, if our own family is good, then I will definitely not be able to marry poorly in the future.

You say that if I have my feet tied, I can't do a lot of things, and I can't even have a good time, how boring it is. ”

Jiang Xi was already tired for a day, and when he spoke, he was also a little dazed, and he fell asleep while talking.

Li Shi glanced at her sleeping face and sighed slightly in his heart.

Jiang Xi is already ten years old this year, and in a few days, it will be her tenth birthday, and as soon as this birthday passes, she will enter the threshold of eleven years old.

For such a big child, the daughters-in-law in the village said that it was a little late to bind their feet, and they would suffer a lot of sins.

Thinking about the current conditions of the family, relying on that little money is completely insufficient, if there is one less manpower, it is indeed troublesome, plus this child likes to go out to run, if he is really bound to his feet, it is estimated that he will also be bound.

"Alas! Xi'er, it's useless to be a mother, if only we could move down two years earlier. ”

At this time, there were already snowflakes outside, and Li thought of her husband who had not returned for more than a year, and her heart was mixed for a while.

Winter came quickly, and the cold wind suddenly hit, and the whole town became quiet. Except for necessary things, ordinary people will no longer go to the market, and they will not even go out of their homes, and will nest in their own pits all day long.

Taking advantage of the noon sun showing his head, Jiangxi went to the field.

Before, she asked her family to leave two points of land for her to come out and buy some vegetables to plant on it.

There are pea seeds, there are also cabbage seeds, as well as lettuce and kohlrabi, and some shallots and green onions are planted, now lettuce and kohlrabi are growing taller, pea seedlings have also emerged, the cabbage is delicate and tender, and it looks very fragile in the wind and snow.

"Jiangxi, can you really grow this vegetable well? My mother said that in a few days, when the frost hits, more than half of the vegetables in your garden may be gone. ”

The person who spoke was a girl from a rich family.

The girl has no name, she has a younger brother named Ah Cai, and the family says that girls don't need to be named, just like Jiangxi's grandmother, they may not have a serious name in their lives.

"Girl, you're also out, do you want to go for a walk around town with me, I want to buy something."

As they spoke, the two of them kept exhaling white air.

As soon as the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly shone up. She and Jiangxi have been to the town a few times, and every time Jiangxi will generously buy some food, either a sugar man or a sugar gourd, and everyone in the village knows that they can always mix food with Jiangxi.

"Go! Of course I went. The girl grinned, revealing two small dimples.

The two went to the town together, and Jiangxi went straight to the place where she bought a tarpaulin, and the vegetable garden couldn't stand the cold, so she made a simple greenhouse.

If you want to go to the grocery store that sells tarpaulins, you have to go through Dr. Yuan's pharmacy.

In the past, even at this time, there were people lined up at the door of the pharmacy, but today it was deserted, and Jiangxi took a closer look only to find that they were closed.
