Adjusting his mentality, Yunxi squatted down, learned Laidi's movements, followed the vine of the amaranth to find the root, and pulled it off with a little force, then shook off the soil and threw it into the frame.

This body still carries the memory of the original work, so it didn't take long for her to master the technique, and her speed increased little by little.

Before the sun set, the sisters filled two baskets of baskets and cleaned them with the river water, so that they could shake off the water as much as possible, but the baskets were still in a panic, and the sisters stopped and stopped and struggled to return, sweating on their foreheads.

This swineherd's life is not easy.

Before arriving at the temple gate, I heard a familiar dog barking, accompanied by the sound of pigs howling one after another.

Yunxi was stunned, pulled the shoulder rope with both hands, trotted into the temple gate, and saw the little black dog pounce on one of the pigsties, with cracked teeth and sharp claws, startling the pig that hit the fence inside took a step back, and stared at the black dog outside vigilantly.

The pigsty was rebuilt from a wing room, and only a wooden fence was placed inside the door to facilitate the dumping of pig food. The fence is dense and the pig's trotters can't be poked out, but the little black dog's sharp claws can reach in and scratch, so the pigs in the pen are very afraid of the little black dog.

The black dog roared at the inside, and the five or six pigs in the pen responded with two howls, and I don't know how they praised the racial exchange, but the final result was that the pigs in the pen were all lying on the dirty straw and no longer making a sound.

Yunxi was surprised and delighted: "I've heard of sheepdogs, but it's the first time I've seen a pigdog." Blackie, you're really capable. ”

The capable little black dog raised his chin arrogantly and glanced at her, and ran towards Mingtang on all fours, Qin Jianguo was standing in Mingtang, and he had obviously been here for a while.

Yunxi asked him with a smile while removing the basket, "Why are you here?" ”

"I brought some firewood." Qin Jianguo replied as he walked to her side, took the back basket in her hand, and made her sweaty and tired, but he lifted it with one hand, and took advantage of the situation to lift Di's back basket, Yunxi couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

Entering the stove room, Yunxi found that there was not only firewood by the stove, but also a water tank, which was more than a meter high, but it could not be filled with one or two loads of water.

Yunxi frowned, when Qin Jianguo was squatting by the stove and wanted to make a fire, she unexpectedly grabbed his left trouser leg, the cloth belt that tied the wound had been dyed yellow-green by the medicinal juice, she reached out to untie the cloth belt to check, but was held down by a big hand, and the man looked up and said to her, "I'm fine." ”

Yunxi's gaze fell on the big hand holding her hand, Qin Jianguo reacted suddenly, retracting his hand like an electric shock, Yunxi took the opportunity to untie the cloth belt, the medicine residue fell, and the wound was still red and swollen, but it was lighter than in the morning, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and rushed to Daodi: "Bring a stool for Brother Qin." ”

There was only an old stool in the stove room, and when Lai Di moved it over, Yunxi couldn't help but say that he would press Qin Jianguo to sit on the stool, and said to him with a serious face: "I don't need you for the next life, so you can sit here with peace of mind." After a pause, he said, "I can't find other herbs for a while, and this amaranth happens to have the effect of reducing swelling." ”

After speaking, he went to the back basket and picked out a few horsetail amaranth with thick leaves, washed them several times with water, and then crushed them and put them on Qin Jianguo, cleaned the cloth belt, dried them by the stove, and finally tied them to him.

There was a pot on the stove, the rice bran had been cooked, and the firelight reflected on Yunxi's face, coating her with a layer of warm color, Qin Jianguo's gaze fell on her face unconsciously, but it moved away sharply the moment she looked up.

Yunxi looked up and saw the man twisting his neck and looking out the window, and asked him suspiciously, "What are you looking at?" ”

Qin Jianguo's expression froze for a moment, he quickly stood up and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back." ”

The little black dog, who had been quiet for a long time, immediately ran to his feet, Yunxi couldn't hold back his laughter, and told the little black dog: "Little black, you help watch your master, don't let him do heavy work." When I'm done here, I'll go back to cooking. ”

I don't know if the little black dog understood, so he only barked at her twice, and followed his master out of the stove.

Not long after one person and one dog left, Wang Hongtian, the captain of the production team, rushed over, only glanced at the stove room and frowned and asked, "Why is there so little firewood?" ”

Yunxi was chopping pigweed, and when he heard this, he got up and replied: "When I came, there was no firewood or water, and this firewood was brought by Brother Qin from his house, and the water was also picked by him." ”

Wang Hongtian's frowning brows suddenly relaxed: "I just met Jianguo at the gate of the temple, and I asked him if he still said, it turned out that he was here to carry firewood and water for you." ”

Yunxi's face was a little hot when she was ridiculed, but she didn't have time to respond, Wang Hongtian had already walked to the corner of the wall and tore open the burlap bag containing rice bran, glanced at it and said: "There is no shortage of rice bran, I don't remember her stealing, but I will ask her to send the missing firewood later." ”

Yunxi was stunned for a moment, Wang Hongtian turned around and explained to her: "One of the two people who raised pigs on the team before was your aunt of the Zhao family, and the other was your aunt of the Chen family, but one of them was tired and unwilling to do it, and the other was not disgusted. The third uncle took into account the situation of your sisters, so he sent the work to you. ”

After hearing this, Yunxi immediately understood why the woman before treated their sisters with eyes instead of eyes and noses, but she hated them for robbing her of her life.

It's really a small village, but there are a lot of things.

The corners of his mouth raised a smile, and Yunxi promised Wang Hongtian: "Third uncle, don't worry, Lai Di and I will do our best to take care of the pigs in the pigsty, if we can't do it, our sisters will immediately let Xian and never harm the interests of the team." ”

Wang Hongtian nodded appreciatively: "What you want is your sense of responsibility, if you encounter difficulties, you will go to your third aunt, she is an expert in pig raising, and the pigs raised by the family every year are about 200 catties." ”

In this era, there is no feed, only rice bran and pigweed are used to feed the pigs, and it is not bad to raise two hundred catties a year, and the pigs on this team are considered to have completed the task when they raise one hundred and fifty catties, so Wang Hongtian will praise his wife like this.

Yunxi was also very admired, and immediately climbed down the pole: "It's late today, tomorrow I will go to the third uncle's house to ask the third aunt for advice." ”

"Okay, I'll tell your third aunt when I go back, you come over at noon tomorrow and have lunch at my house by the way."

Yunxi politely refused: "I'll go back after dinner at noon tomorrow." ”

"You're just too polite." Wang Hongtian shook his head.

Yunxi smiled, but his attitude was resolute, Wang Hongtian knew that he could not be persuaded, so he nagged two more words, and looked at the pigs in the pigsty before leaving.

The pot on the stove boiled, the rice bran boiled softly, Yunxi poured the chopped pigweed and stirred it, and soon the turquoise pigweed boiled into a yellow-brown color, mixed with the rice bran, and the steaming heat hit her face, and sweat rolled down.
