During Shu Nuan's recuperation, people who cared about her came to visit her, and those who didn't care about her naturally didn't come.

January slipped away, and February was just around the corner.

The beginning of February is the Lunar New Year, and during this time, every household is busy cleaning up, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

A few days ago, Shu Nuan and Shu Daniu's family went to the town to buy New Year's goods together, and naturally they also bought new clothes.

Spring began in the New Year, and even though the weather was still a little cold at that time, it was still spring.

Therefore, if you buy winter clothes during this time period, the price will be much lower.

Accompanied by Li Juanjuan, the daughter-in-law of Brother Da Niu, she is completely useless in bargaining.

She only needs to pick things, and Li Juanjuan will help her bargain.

As for the big pig's head pickled some time ago and the new sweater she knitted, it was naturally made early and sent to the master by her grandmother.

Originally, she was going to deliver things to the master herself, but although the place where the master lived was still within the scope of Shujia Village, it was behind another mountain.

With the way she is now, if she wants to go over the mountains, she naturally can't.

Today is the day of cleaning up the house.

Early in the morning, Wu Huihong began to arrange for the people at home to be busy.

"Obviously, you go and tear up all those couplets from last year, and it's time to post new ones in two days."

"Got it."

After Shu Zheming answered, he jumped and ran outside.

Shu Nuan looked at the family members who had begun to get busy, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Grandma, I'll help too." ”

"It's okay, you sit and rest for a while, and you'll be done in no time."

In Wu Huihong's eyes, she is a wounded, so it is naturally more appropriate to recuperate.

"I'd better help."

Shu Nuan reiterated it again and got up directly to help.

She couldn't do the heavy lifting, but the simple ones weren't a problem.

Wu Huihong turned her head and glanced at her, and let her go.

"Pay attention, I'll go to the bamboo forest to cut a bamboo and come back to sweep the beams of the house."

After a word of advice, he took out a machete from the corner of the kitchen wall and went straight out.

Shu Nuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the big cat Ah Huang who was walking around at his feet, reached out and pinched the upright cat ears, and chuckled.

"Stay on the sidelines, don't get the hair dirty."

It's winter, and there is no hair dryer at home, and it is not suitable for bathing big cats.

While Shu Nuan was slowly cleaning up the house, Wu Huihong, who had been away for a while, came back with a bamboo with branches, followed by Shu Zheming, who didn't know when he would go out.

After trimming off the excess branches on the bamboo, then tying the branches to the bamboo and making a simple broom, the cleaning begins.

The beams and high walls were carefully swept away from dust and cobwebs, and the family wore dust-proof straw hats and tied handkerchiefs to their faces as masks.

When Wu Huihong was cleaning the house, Shu Nuan and Shu Zheming moved the objects in the house to the yard.

Today, not only do I have to clean the house, but I also have to clean the quilts and curtains, and even the dishes and chopsticks that are piled up in the frame and not used have to be taken out and cleaned.

Because there are a lot of things to do, even if several people work together to clean up everything, it will be past two o'clock in the afternoon.

After Wu Huihong dried the last piece of clothing on the bamboo pole, she moved a chair over: "Nuan Nuan, sit and rest for a while." ”

"Okay."

Shu Nuan nodded, sat down and began to gently rub his somewhat tired legs.

After looking at her fixedly for a while, Wu Huihong suddenly seemed to remember something, reached out and patted her head, and hurriedly walked into the house.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Shu Nuan blinked suspiciously.

A moment later, Wu Huihong walked out with a hoe.

"Grandma, what are you going to do here?"

After Shu Nuan asked, she was about to stand up.

Wu Huihong raised her hand to interrupt her movements, and explained softly: "You sit here, I'll go and sort out the drain." ”

"Okay." Shu Nuan bowed slightly. "Remember to call me if there's anything, I'm right here."

"Alright, you can rest."

After Wu Huihong said this, she carried the hoe to the back of the house.

The yard where they now live is a drainage ditch that goes around the front of the yard and then gradually flows into the distance.

The drainage ditch has not been repaired, but it is a small ditch dug directly in the muddy ground, which is only about 50 centimeters. It is precisely because of the long-term accumulation of water that it is easy to be clogged if it is not cleaned up, after all, the soil is very soft after being blistered.

Just as Shu Nuan was looking at the green mountains in the distance with one hand on her cheek, Wu Huihong's surprised voice came from behind.

"There really is!"

"What's there? What did you find? ”

When Shu Nuan asked, Shu Zheming, who heard the movement, had already thrown the pencil in his hand and ran to the back of the house.

Wu Huihong paused for a moment before answering her: "There are actually taro at the back of the house, and there are quite a lot." ”

"Really?"

Shu Nuan walked slowly with a cane.

And Ah Huang, the big cat who had been squatting at her feet and napping, also followed with short legs after seeing her get up.

In this way, a man and a cat came to the back of the house.

At this moment, half of the gutters that had been clogged with silt have been cleared, while the other half is still the same.

By the ditch, there were fist-sized taro piles here, and in the dirt there was still a lot that had not been dug up.

Shu Nuan stood next to him and looked at it for a while, then murmured suspiciously: "Why are there so many?" I don't remember when we planted taro. ”

"This was planted a few years ago, and it wasn't dug up at the time, but it turned out that there were so many in the past few years."

Wu Huihong couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

Taro is a perennial plant that can grow for several years, and it does not affect the leaves to wilt in winter, so it germinates in spring and continues to grow.

After digging for a while, several taro pieces the size of adult heads were unearthed.

"It seems that the soil here is very fat, and it grows so big." Shu Nuan sighed, and then reminded Shu Zheming: "Mingming, go to the kitchen and bring the back basket to load the taro." ”

"Okay."

Shu Zheming replied and ran away quickly.

The big cat Ah Huang wandered around the feet of several people for a while, and curiously came to the taro to sniff, but was stained by the mud on the meat pad.

I had to shake the dirt on my feet vigorously while taking awkward steps to the drier grass.

"Stupid cat."

Shu Nuan sighed, then squatted down and rubbed the dirty paws of the big cat Ah Huang on the grass.

After harvesting the small basket of taro, I finally dug it almost enough.

However, after knowing that this place could grow taro, they did not dig up the taro, but kept some small ones for the spring to continue growing.
