Chapter 224: Liu Sanshun
After eating, Zhang Huai said goodbye and left in the moonlight.
Chrysanthemum helped Yang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and washed the dishes and boiled water together.
Yang looked at his daughter and said happily: "Hua'er, you go to take a bath, I'll clean it up." Alas! When your Aunt Zhang moves over, on a night like this, the two families can still gossip together after dinner, and I won't be so bored. β
She rejoiced for a day, and at this time she seemed to be unfinished, and she had to talk about topics related to Zhang Huai in order to release this joy.
Chrysanthemum was very clear about her careful thoughts, and she didn't answer, and went to find clothes to bathe.
Yang looked at her back and laughed silently secretlyβ-β the girl didn't think it herself, but she understood very clearly that the girl had some meaning to Huaizi; Not to mention the locust - it is clear that she loves chrysanthemums. Looking at the appearance of the two of them made her a happy mother, and she couldn't wait to settle this family with He's.
When the chrysanthemum came out of the bath, Zheng Changhe entered the courtyard with a smile on his head under the moonlight, and shouted heartily: "Girl, Dad is back." β
Listening to his loud call, Chrysanthemum happily stepped forward.
She was originally a steady and plain person, and her psychological age was not young, but she was always spoiled by Zheng Changhe and Yang's unconsciously, and she unconsciously let go of her weight and made some childlike behavior. This is natural, I am afraid that no one can resist such a warm family atmosphere, and relaxation and true feelings are inevitable.
She smiled and said to Zheng Changhe: "Dad, are you tired?" Let's go take a shower. My mother has boiled all the water, and she will wait for you to come back. β
Zheng Changhe let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Dad thinks it's okay." It's finally over. Aoki, has the seedling field been planted? β
Aoki said: "It's already been planted." Huaizi also came to help today. The father and son exchanged the fruits of today's labor.
Chrysanthemum went into the kitchen, helped her father add hot water, and found clothes to send over, Zheng Changhe was very pleased to give her a big smile.
The conditions at home are better, Chrysanthemum has made arrangements for life, and she has made some necessary things, and she will not compromise in order to save money. For example, she suggested making a new one for her brother and father, and separated the bathing utensils for men and women.
Fortunately, the Yang family also agreed with her, so that Chrysanthemum had to spend a lot less words.
Chrysanthemum went to the yard, bathed in the moonlight with Aoki, and chatted about crops, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, etc., to kill this rare and beautiful spring night.
A few days later, Meizi really came to find chrysanthemums, pulled some pepper seedlings and went back to plant.
The consumption of chili powder in winter is too large for chrysanthemums, so it is definitely not enough to plant a little bit in the vegetable garden in the backyard, so I scattered a lot of seeds and prepared to plant them in the field on the other side of the fish pond
However, she had no experience, and sprinkled a large number of seeds, this pepper seedling is too much, if you tear it away, it is a pity to see the plum to ask for it, her heart moved, and she went to call Zhou Xiaozi's Xiaoxiu to pull it.
Not long after Zhou Xiaozi's family moved over, Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui also liked to talk to Chrysanthemum, but these two little girls were quiet and shy, not as refreshing as Liu Xiaomei and Meizi, so they didn't often go to Chrysanthemum's house, and Chrysanthemum herself didn't like to visit the house, so she didn't come and go much.
Today, Xiaoxiu saw that Chrysanthemum specially came to the door to ask her if she wanted chili seedlings, and she was very happy and hurriedly said, "Yes." I also want to plant some at the root of the courtyard wall, which does not occupy an area and saves trouble. With that, he turned around and found a basket in the kitchen and was about to follow Chrysanthemum.
Her sister Xiaocui was picking vegetables, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to her sister with a red face: "Eldest sister, I also want to go to Chrysanthemum's house to have a look!" β
Seeing her shy appearance, Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "Let's go together, it's not far, and I'll be back in a while." It's all neighbors, and you haven't been to my house yet. β
Xiaoxiu nodded and said, "Close the door, don't let the chickens in and dirty the house." β
So Xiaocui happily agreed, and the two sisters closed the gate and the courtyard gate, and went to Chrysanthemum's house together.
Chrysanthemum smiled and asked Xiaoxiu: "Haven't your seedlings been planted yet?" β
Xiaoxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Not yet." At the beginning of today, my mother and my second brother were planting in the field, and my father went to my eldest brother's house to help. When I'm done with his family, I'll plant mine again. "Her eldest brother has already married and separated.
Seeing her quiet and delicate appearance, Chrysanthemum didn't say much, and said in her heart that this is really a gentle girl. Just thinking about it, Xiao Cui on the side asked Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, why did your family plant seedlings so early this year?" β
Chrysanthemum smiled: "My father wanted to plant two crops of rice to try, so he advanced it a few days earlier." β
Xiao Cui let out an "oh" and nodded as if she didn't understand.
When Meizi, Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui came to the backyard of Chrysanthemum's house, they were stunned when they looked at the dense green pepper seedlings on the long ridge of the ground.
Meizi asked curiously, "Why did you get all these miles?" That's not a hundredΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· No, thousands of miles! β
Xiaoxiu smiled: "I'm afraid there are more than a few thousand miles!" β
Chrysanthemum smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know much about it, and my mother doesn't have time to care." Anyway, there were a lot of seeds left over last year, so I scattered a lot of ridges. I didn't expect this thing to come out so much. "She has to be fried as vegetable seedlings, anyway, the chili seedlings are also pure-minded.
Meizi said happily: "It's all planted, you can't tear it up and throw it away, what a pity." Anyway, a workshop will be built in the second half of the year, and the peppers will definitely come in handy, so let's plant them all. Chrysanthemum, you have more land, you plant more, I'll help you. Xiaoxiu Xiaocui, you should also pull more, plant it in front of the house and behind the house, and plant it all in the open space, and it doesn't have to be planted in the ground. turned around and shouted that the little sister would also pull some of it. β
Chrysanthemum couldn't help but smile when she saw her arranging and planning - this plum is getting better and better at living. She said, "I've already told my little sister. But she has sprinkled a lot of it at home, so there is no shortage of this thing. She said to go back and help me ask, who wanted, so she pulled it back and planted it. β
Suddenly, Zhang Huai's face floated in her mind, and she said in her heart, she should let Aunt Zhang also pull some back to plant, plant more, and use miles of pickled and spicy cabbage in winter. Well, I'll ask my brother to bring a letter to Huaizi when I turn around.
It's too much, Meizi, Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui estimated that they could plant at home, and they pulled out enough of the number, but when they looked at the field, they went to a corner.
The corners of Chrysanthemum's mouth twitched, and she thought helplessly, it's a big deal, let's grow it ourselves, collect the peppers and then sell them.
When Aoki got out of school in the evening, she told her brother and asked him to bring a letter and ask Huaizi Niang to pull some chili seedlings and plant them. She herself said hello to Yang and went with Aoki to plant chili peppers in the field by the fish pond.
Aoki said to her, "Don't be afraid, let's see the stitches and insert some needles everywhere." There are many kinds of peppers, and they are not bad. β
The brothers and sisters took advantage of the morning and evening work to really see the needles and planted peppers everywhere, even in the soybean fields. Originally, soybeans were planted in the potato field, soybeans were planted in the corn field, and now some peppers are planted, which is really nondescript. The two of them don't care about these things, as long as these things can grow up, the result will be.
This morning, Xiaoxiu came to Chrysanthemum again to pull some chili seedlings, and it happened that Chrysanthemum and Yang were going to plant chili peppers in the field, so they also followed her to the field to have a look.
Before the two could say a few words, they saw Liu Sanshun hurrying over with a small bucket, and when he saw the chrysanthemum, he smiled and narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his round face was brilliant in the sun.
Chrysanthemum saw him carrying a wooden barrel, what good things did he get in his heart?
She raised her voice and asked, "Brother Sanshun, you are happy to be like this, have you gotten any good things?" β
Liu Sanshun stood still by the fish pond of Chrysanthemum's house, beckoned to her with a smile: "Come and see, I have netted some small fish in the Xiaoqing River, and I will send you some and two little turtles." As he spoke, he greeted Yang again: "Aunt Zheng, plant vegetables and seedlings!" β
Yang looked up at him and smiled, "Hey! Sanshun, are you good at raising fish? β
The sons of this fat man Liu are all out of luck, and the two Shun weaving utensils are sold in Uncle Chrysanthemum's shop, and they can also make a little money; Sanshun held back enough strength to serve the fish pond, and it seemed that by the end of the year, he was afraid that the harvest would not be less; Even Sishun heard that he had worked a lot hard to study.
More sons are good, Yang looked at Sanshun and thought enviously.
Liu Sanshun was very happy when he saw that Yang asked him about fish farming, but this matter could not be explained clearly in a sentence or two, and he was not that frivolous person, so he said very seriously: "I don't know yet." But I can't let me be busy in vain. β
Chrysanthemum dropped the little hoe in her hand, clapped her hands, and smiled at Xiaoxiu: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" β
Xiaoxiu looked at Sanshun, who was standing by the pond ridge with a bright smile, nodded with a red face, and followed the chrysanthemum towards the fish pond.
This season is the season for all kinds of fish to spawn, and chrysanthemums don't understand the habits of all kinds of fish, so they just stock them one by one. In addition to the black fish in this fish pond, she put some other fish that can be found in the Xiaoqing River and the pond, and I don't know if it is in line with ecological farming.
Liu Sanshun saw that she was wearing a straw hat, wearing old clothes, her trouser legs were also tightened, and her hands were still stained with mud.
However, she made him feel a little distressed like this, thinking that Aoki's school did delay a lot of work, otherwise it would not be Chrysanthemum's turn to do these things. There are so many chickens, ducks and pigs in her house, which are enough for her to be busy, and she has to cook, which is followed by planting vegetables in the field, alas! She's only so big, it's really exhausting her.
Chrysanthemum came to the pond ridge, smiled at Liu Sanshun, first thanked him for being so busy and sent fish fry to himself, and then asked him what good things he caught.
Liu Sanshun smiled kindly: "There are no good fish fry, but they are common in Xiaoqing River, some I know, and some I don't know." We're not that proficient, so we have to put some of all kinds of fish and think about it slowly. At this time, put more fish, some fish happen to be giving birth, which is equivalent to bringing the whole family. I worked hard with Changxing for a while. You have such a small fish pond, by the way, you will have a lot of fry. β
Chrysanthemum looked down at the barrel, and sure enough, there were all kinds of fish, large and small, of different shapes. The most gratifying thing is that there are two little turtles the size of a little baby's fist inside.
