He Shi saw that the chrysanthemum felt sorry for the Huaizi, and the little two were very slimy, very happy, and said with a smile: "Your father is right, you just care about the Huaizi." When we're old, it doesn't matter if we're sloppy. Huaizi, come back early in the evening, go to Carpenter Li's house, bring back the wooden basin and barrel we entrusted him to make, and then see if your bed is ready. ”

The son is too rushed to get married, and these things can only be added slowly and the same.

Zhang Huai nodded, helped Chrysanthemum fetch a few buckets of well water, and waited for her to wash and dry the clothes they had changed out of three and two before going to eat.

In the afternoon, while hoeing the soybeans that had just been planted in August, He asked Huaizi in a low voice: "Huaizi, are you okay with chrysanthemums?" ”

Zhang Huai was busy with his forehand hoe and hoe, and said strangely when he heard this: "It's okay."

What's wrong? ”

He Shi glanced at him and said, "Yun Lan is about to give birth." Daisy her ······ Is she alright? ”

Zhang Huai understood what his mother meant, and immediately blushed and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?" Of course Chrysanthemum is fine. After thinking about it, I was afraid that she would ask again, so I added: "Raise it again, the chrysanthemum is still small." After saying that, he turned away from her, looking like he didn't want to say any more.

He was stunned and still raised? These two are so slimy, how did they live?

If Chrysanthemum knew that her mother-in-law asked Huaizi about this, she might have died of embarrassment. After she fed the pig for lunch, she took a nap, got up and saw that the steamed bun was ready, and steamed it in the pot. was busy, and her sister-in-law Liu Yunlan's voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum, it's me." ”

Chrysanthemum added a handful of dry twigs to the stove hole, and hurried to open the door.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw Liu Yunlan with a big belly, a basket in her left hand, and two hairy little roosters in it; In his right hand he carried a basket of bright red peaches with branches and leaves.

She smiled and said to Chrysanthemum, "The peaches are ripe." I picked a lot of them today, so I'll send some over first, and then pick them when you're done, otherwise they won't be long when they're all picked off; This chicken ······"

Chrysanthemum didn't wait for her to finish, then frowned and asked, "The chicken is sick again?" I told my mother a long time ago that I want her to kill and eat often, otherwise she will get sick when there are too many chickens, and she is always reluctant. While taking the basket, he put Liu Yunlan in the yard.

Liu Yunlan smiled: "The chickens are not sick. Isn't my mother afraid that the chickens will get sick, so I killed four of them in one go, don't you ask me to send two to you! ”

It turns out that everyone has been feeding the chickens for a long time, and they have also found some superficial experience.

One year, Yang's hatched more chicks, and hundreds of hulala chickens grew up, and they were not willing to eat much, thinking that they would grow up more so that they could be sold in the market. As a result, one day, a chicken lay listless on the edge of the bamboo forest, and did not eat much.

Chrysanthemum was frightened and told Yang not to have chicken plague!

Yang had never seen chicken plague - where had she fed so many chickens in the past? Therefore, I am not convinced

Chrysanthemum hurriedly told her that if there is chicken plague, the disease will be contagious, and the sick chicken cannot be eaten, so she has to dig a pit and bury it, otherwise people will get sick if they eat it.

Yang was distressed when he heard it - so many chickens, if they were all infected and all of them were dug and buried, it would be better to bury her first! Therefore, regardless of whether it is chicken plague or not, I quickly killed and buried the chicken, and then only left dozens of laying hens, and killed more than half of the remaining chickens, sold them, pickled them, and ate them, so it was not wasted.

Since then, they have taken care of the chickens more diligently, and as soon as the chickens they feed grow up, they begin to kill and eat, or sell them, especially in May and June, when the chickens are also susceptible to disease, and I wonder why Yang's left more this year.

Chrysanthemum let Liu Yunlan sit down in the shade of the plum tree, grabbed two peaches and went to the well to wash, and walked over while nibbling, and said with a smile: "This peach tastes better and better." I really want to thank my cousin Laixi, if he hadn't sent some peaches that year, we wouldn't have such good peaches to eat now. This peach is better than the variety of Liu Xiaomei's family. ”

Liu Yunlan nodded with a smile, looking very happy.

She is now pregnant, and her mouth always wants to chew things, and the family is very solid, and she doesn't need to spend money at all, and those fruits are available every month, until autumn, and there are water chestnuts and chestnuts.

Chrysanthemum looked at the chicken and said, "I said that my mother wanted to open it - it turned out that she was afraid that the chicken would get sick." But it's summer, so it's not easy to get sick. Sister Yunlan, I'll teach you a way to make this chicken, don't keep it braised all the time. ”

Liu Yunlan pushed away the peaches she handed over, smiled and said that she had just eaten them, and she was still full, and asked her with great interest why she made this chicken.

Chrysanthemum said: "Stuff garlic, ginger slices and red pepper into the belly of this chicken, then wrap it in lotus leaves, tie it tightly, and then wrap it in yellow mud like pickled duck eggs, stuff it into the stove hole and bury it with fire ashes, just like burying it in a simmering pot." When I pull it out tomorrow morning, it smells good. Well, maybe you won't have to wait until tomorrow morning. After all, simmering things in a simmering pot contains a jar of water, and if it is cooked, it will definitely be slower; This chicken is directly wrapped in a layer of mud and buried in it, so it should be cooked faster. ”

Liu Yunlan was very interested and hurriedly said that she wanted to give it a try.

Chrysanthemum just finished eating a peach, so she said to her: "Tatar just steamed a pot of steamed buns, just cleaned up this chicken, just lit the fire, stuffed it into the stove hole and can eat it at night." ”

Liu Yunlan urged her to clean up quickly, and she could take a look.

Chrysanthemum first found a small hoe, found a place with moist soil in the corner of the yard, buried the peach pit, next to the wild chrysanthemum, and then went into the kitchen with Liu Yunlan to clean up the chicken.

Liu Yunlan watched the chrysanthemums plant trees after eating peaches, and asked with amusement and admiration: "Aren't so many peach trees at home enough for you to eat?" Still want to plant? ”

Chrysanthemum turned her head and smiled: "It's easy, and it doesn't take much effort." When there is nowhere to plant in this yard, we will plant by the river and the mountain. Sister, you think, in a few years, there will be peach trees everywhere at the foot of this mountain, and if there are peaches to eat, how beautiful should the peach blossoms look when they bloom? The mountains are full of acorn trees, and they are also beautiful in autumn; Well, there are more and more wild chrysanthemums. It's exciting to think about. ”

As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade! People don't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, and even only know about felling, but don't know how to replant. In fact, with a little care, you can become beautiful and rich around you!

Like this peach tree, it really drops the peach pit and sprouts and grows small seedlings. Of course, there is still a lot to learn about fruit trees to grow well. But if you keep planting, even if some of them will die of disease and don't grow well, most of them will always stand out, and won't this peach grove get bigger and bigger? When there are peach trees everywhere, it doesn't matter who planted them.

Liu Yunlan nodded and said, "Hey!" That's how it should be, the hands are diligent, and it doesn't take much effort. Whoa, I threw away all the peach pits I ate! ”

She stomped her feet and sighed, "I know, I'm afraid people are just like me—not very careful, just in front of me, or I really told you, there are fruit trees everywhere." I'll remember next time. You don't know, I'm pregnant, my mouth is very greedy, there are so many things at home for me to eat, I don't know how happy I am, I didn't think of learning from you to plant trees. ”

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not too late to learn now." This peach tree must be planted every year, because not every tree that is planted will live. When you grow up, you have to prune it, otherwise it will be twisted and twisted, and besides, the tree will grow taller, and it will be difficult to pick peaches in the future. ”

While talking, the two stuffed the chicken's belly with seasoning, sewed it up with needles and threads, and the chrysanthemum wrapped the chicken with the remaining lotus leaves at noon, tied it tightly with straw, and then kneaded some yellow mud like kneading flour before stuffing it into the stove hole.

Liu Yunlan said: "If you make it like this, you will definitely be able to eat it at night, and you don't have to wait for tomorrow morning." ”

She immediately went back to clean up, saying that she would bury it at night and wait until tomorrow morning to eat.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly sent her out, told her to walk carefully, and watched her enter the yard until she turned her head back, washed the remaining peaches, put them in a wooden bucket, hung them in the well and soaked them, and waited for Huaizi and their family to eat them.

With all this done, she went to the backyard to pick up some vegetables and prepare for dinner.

When squatting by the well to wash vegetables, she smiled and thought that she was too busy to go out at her parents' house, and if she got married, even if she was just married next door, she was still too busy to go back to her parents' house, and now she was thinking about her in-laws' house.

This girl is really losing money! Well, if you go back and do some new tricks to honor your mother's father, you have to make them understand that your daughter is still worried about them when she gets married.

In the evening, He came back from the field in advance, with a large bundle of soybeans under his arm, and Chrysanthemum smiled when he saw it: "I was about to pull some soybeans and peel them for dinner, but I forgot to tell my mother at noon." Who knew that the mother would pull it back. ”

He smiled: "I also want to eat soybeans, don't I just remember it." ”

Chrysanthemum boiled the rice, then took out the watery eggplant from the pot, which had been cut into large slices, and put it on the side of the rice pot to steam, steamed two green peppers, covered the pot, added a fire to the stove, and simmered the rice, and then sat under the eaves of the porch to peel soybeans with He's.

When Zhang Huai came back with a large wooden barrel containing several small wooden pots and barrels, Chrysanthemum had already shouted for dinner.

He put these things in the kitchen, and then put the barrels away, and when he saw that Chrysanthemum was busy by the stove, he leaned over to her and asked with a smile, "What do you eat at night?" ”

Chrysanthemum put the steamed eggplant and green pepper on the side of the rice pot into a large coarse porcelain bowl, put some mashed minced garlic, scooped a spoonful of lard, put a little chopped salt and shallots, and then kept stirring with chopsticks until the eggplant and green pepper were stirred into a paste, fragrant, and then stopped.

Then she looked up at him and smiled, "You can no longer guess what new things to eat today."

Huaizi originally asked casually - he just wanted to talk to her, but the chrysanthemum really made something delicious, so he asked itchyly, "What is it?" Why don't you see it? As he spoke, he looked around, and saw that there was no one on the big board, so he deliberately ran to the kitchen to check layer by layer.

Chrysanthemum smiled and let him find it, and didn't mention it, and said in her heart, if she didn't say it, I was afraid that she would have to find it and wouldn't be able to find it tomorrow morning.
