Ziqing walked to the back of the courtyard gate and asked, "Who?" ”

It turned out that the grandmother He brought the eldest uncle and the second uncle and they over, Ziqing hurriedly opened the door, and looked, heh, there are really a lot of people, the eldest uncle Xu and the second uncle Zhao, the third cousin of the uncle's family Wanfu and the third cousin-in-law Li, the three cousins of the second uncle's family, Changfu, Xinfu, and Jinfu are all here, and the cousin Wanfu is still pushing a wheelbarrow, and there is a pocket on one side, and the other side is empty, probably He is sitting over, He is holding a burden in his hand, Xu and Zhao are carrying a basket, all of them are vegetables, Ziqing saw that there are big cabbage, lettuce, Cabbage strips, green garlic sprouts, and a large basket of wild shepherd's cabbage, green, tender, Ziqing wants to wrap wontons must be delicious.

"Qing'er, where is your mother?" Closing the door and walking inside, Ho asked.

"My mother took my second brother to the mountains to collect firewood. I won't be back until noon. Grandma, it's on the hill behind. ”

"Oh, Wanfu, you take Changfu and a few of them to look for it, and by the way, help your aunt chop some more firewood and come back." Shen Wanfu took a few of them and left as promised.

He and Shen Jianshan first saw Zixi in the basket and Zishou standing next to him, and hurriedly picked up Zixi, Zishou called people one by one, He touched Zishou's head and smiled: "Our junior is really well-behaved, he will take his younger brother at such a young age." ”

After speaking, He didn't wait for Ziqing to lead, he went into the wooden house to take a look, Ziqing felt that the wooden house was too small, the light was not good, and it was not as warm as outside, so he moved the stools, chairs, small benches and other things outside, and let everyone sit in the yard.

After a turn in the yard, looking at the neat vegetable patch and dozens of chickens, He's face was slightly better, Shen Jianshan and Shen Jianshui were surprised, Shen Jianshan said: "Mother, little sister, this vegetable is really well planted, this cucumber and beans are on the shelf, our seedlings have not come out yet, plant so much, I plan to sell it, and I can catch up with a good price as soon as possible." When I asked her how she planted it, I remember she didn't do farm work when she was at home. What's in the field here, why haven't I seen it? Asked Shen Jianshui, Shen Jianshui also said that he didn't know.

"Uncle and uncle, that's a potato." Ziqing replied.

"Potatoes? This is the potato, I heard your third uncle say, the yield is quite high. Then what kind of seedlings are in this field, it should be able to be transplanted. Shen Jianshan asked again.

"It's watermelon seedlings, and they can be transplanted, but my mother said that I can't do it alone, and I said that I would transplant them together when my father came back."

"Watermelon? It seems to be a precious fruit, mother, the little sister's family grows good things, and you can turn over this year. I said you don't have to worry about it, my brother-in-law is a scholar, can he still have a calculation in his heart? In the past, I didn't have a family, and I couldn't be the master, but this time, my sister-in-law's good days should come. You see, there must be fifty or sixty chickens in this house, and such a big chicken woman should lay eggs in less than two months. Ziqing found that the eldest uncle's personality was more talkative than the second uncle, and she felt very kind.

"That's good, you also know, your little sister is the youngest, I am this one daughter, and I am also pampered at home, I thought that I married a scholar, I don't have to go to the field to farm, there will be a good life, which Cheng thinks that your brother-in-law's family is in this situation, and the birth is delayed, these ten years, I can't do it at all, my mother wants your brother to help it, and I can't help it, now it's okay, I'm also relieved. By the way, don't be idle, go and help your sister plant that watermelon, so many seedlings, when will your little sister get it? Ho said. asked Ziqing again if she knew where to plant?

Ziqing was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "I know, grandma, it's in the yard, oh, there, there's a big open space." ”

"The yard is good, and I don't have to look at thieves, I'm really satisfied with this yard." Ho smiled. Immediately afterwards, he asked Shen Jianshan to go into the house to find tools, Shen Jianshan took out two hoes, and found a pair of buckets, and asked Shen Jianshui to carry water. So, Shen Jianshan loosened the soil, Shen Jianshui picked up water, Xu's and Zhao's and Li's pulled out the seedlings, Ziqing saw Xu's sprinkle water and then pull out the seedlings, each tree was picked by hand, with the soil, and a bunch of them, Xu and Zhao went to plant, and let Li pick it alone.

He sat in the sun with the boy in his arms and watched them busy. Ziqing thinks this moment is really good, there are loved ones who care for you all the time, and it is difficult to be unhappy. Ziqing felt that the people in her grandmother's family were much better than those in her grandmother's family, diligent, generous, and sincere. At least Ziqing has never seen Tian's and they hugged Zixi, and Yan Renda, who was lazy and stingy, took a large family to live in the old house for more than 20 days, Ziqing's family was hiring people to build the courtyard wall at that time, Yan Renda was stunned that he had never been to the construction site, as if there was no such thing, Zeng Ruiqing had come a few times to help for two days. On the day of the move, Tian took his three daughters to take a look, and never came again.

About an hour later, Shen and his nephews came back together, Wanfu and the others dragged several large bundles of branches, Zilu still carried a basket of pine towers, Zilu had learned to use pine towers to stew rice, and the recent rice was basically made by him, and Shen saved a lot of heart.

Shen was really excited to see He and them, He took out a hand and patted Shen's hand and said: "Give my little grandson a hundred days, today is just ninety-nine days, the weather is good, just come and see you, it's not convenient to come over the years, it's good in the future, my daughter finally survived, when my mother thinks about it, come over to see you and your grandchildren." ”

After talking to each other, Shen remembered that he was going to buy some rice dishes, and He hurriedly said: "No need, I asked your brother to bring them, and the family brought some for you." A small bag of rice, a small bag of noodles, as well as eggs, meat, vegetables, no need to cook anything else at noon, I asked them to pick a big basket of wild spinach, the noodles have been ready, you wrap some wild spinach buns, your eldest brother said that the filling you made is delicious, and I didn't eat it. You go and wash the vegetables first, your second brother is picking water to plant watermelon seedlings, let Wanfu go pick some well water, and wash it at home. Washing water is not wasted when watering the ground. I've gone through all the dirt at home. ”

When Shen Wanfu heard this, he went to find a bucket, he always helped Shen Shi to carry water when he was working before. I rush to do all the heavy work at home, and in the future, when I have the conditions, I must repay them well, Ziqing thought secretly.

After a while, He remembered something again, and said to the three sons of Shen Jianshui's family: "Changfu, don't be idle for the three of you, let your sister take you to the vegetable field, finish the cucumber shelf, and if the sticks are not enough, go and cut some bamboo." ”

Ziqing was even more happy when she heard it, and she didn't have to worry about the work at home now. After arranging the people to work, He took Zixi and Shen into the house.
