Chapter 31: Up the Mountain
Looking at the things in front of him, Wang Meihua is not even more tasteful.
That's it, that's it, maybe it's fate!
After dinner, Wang Meihua's family went back, otherwise the old woman of the Chen family would have to be a moth again, and when she went back, the Wang family also asked them to carry a pickled pheasant back.
The Wang family decided to stay for one night and go back tomorrow, anyway, that's what their mother-in-law told them.
In the third year of junior high school, the Wang family didn't stay too long, and they also set off for home after lunch at Lu Yuan, and this meal was specially cooked because they had to walk back.
In the same way, when they returned, the Queen Mother gave them a pheasant and a live hare.
The hare is a gray half-large rabbit, and it still has the righteousness to see what it wants.
Of course, there is also a reason for Xin'er, when Xin'er saw the living hare, she couldn't take her eyes off, knowing that she liked it too, so the Queen Mother asked them to take it back.
This rabbit was originally raised by Wang's two little nephews and nieces, and the Wang family only injured their legs when they were hunting.
The Wang family took the rabbit away, and the two sisters and brothers were still a little unhappy, but who made them children, the family didn't care about their opinions.
However, Wang and Erlin noticed it.
"Mother, I won't take this rabbit, it's not easy to take it on the road, keep it for Song'er and them."
"Mother, I want it, I'll take it."
Youyi really likes this rabbit, and listens to her mother and says it on the side.
"That's it, just why can't you get a rabbit, and it doesn't take up space, you have righteousness and heart and like it, you can take it back."
"But ...... mother"
"Okay, I know what you want to say, there is no shortage of these rabbits and pheasants on this mountain, they like to let their father catch them again, ah, don't worry, take it back."
"That's it, the second sister will take it back, isn't it just a rabbit."
"Yes, the second sister will take it."
The two sisters-in-law of the Wang family also said that the Wang family was really embarrassed, but they didn't refuse.
On the way home
"Youyi, you said that you too, knowing that your cousin likes them and have to ask for it, is it that I am too good to you on weekdays, and you have developed the habit of asking for people's things, ah!!"
Wang was very angry about Youyi's incident today.
"I don't, mother, I like rabbits, I've never raised rabbits, I want to raise them too, and didn't my grandmother say let my uncle catch them for my cousin again."
Youyi is still young and doesn't think it's a big deal.
"You're still reasonable, aren't you, even if it's your uncle, they can catch you again and ask for other people's things, who taught you this, you say!!"
Wang was even more angry, could it really be that she indulged him too much? She couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
"But it's none other than Grandma."
Youyi blocked the Wang family with a righteous sentence, saying that it was an outsider? That's impossible, parents and brothers are so good to themselves, how can they be outsiders.
Wang couldn't help but want to slap him twice, but thinking that it was only the third day of the new year, he still couldn't help it, but he still said it halfway.
Youyi didn't know if he listened to his mother's words, and his thoughts were on the rabbit all the way.
The wound on the rabbit's body was almost healed, and in order to prevent the rabbit from escaping, he deliberately tied a hemp rope around his neck when he was at Wang's house, and also tied up his feet.
After all, he is a hare running on the mountain, and he has a very wild temperament, and he is afraid that if he runs away, he will have to make trouble.
Youyi really likes that rabbit, and he wanted to raise it when the Wang family saw his cousin raising it.
Moreover, after this rabbit is taken back, he must be very beautiful, and those friends must envy him.
In the end, he is still a child, he likes to compare and be in the limelight.
On the seventh day of the first month, the beginning of spring.
As soon as the beginning of spring passes, the weather gradually begins to warm up, indicating that the new year is about to be busy.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year, and the New Year is busy farming.
As soon as the New Year passed, the Ding family began to shovel grass in the family's fields.
Since the autumn harvest, the family's fields have been raised, and a lot of grass has grown in the fields, and it is time to clean up.
The Ding family has no cows, and only Liu Sanwa's family has a cow in the village except for the village chief's family, and Liu Sanwa's family has a bad reputation in the village, and no one borrows his cattle, even if it is borrowed, it may not be borrowed.
There are many lands and few cattle in Wanshan Village, and basically the family's fields are dug out by themselves with a hoe and hoe, and so is the Ding family.
The Ding family has 12 acres of land and 7 acres of land.
The Ding family now has five strong laborers in addition to the Wang family, and it won't take much time to weed, but it will be difficult to dig the ground.
But fortunately, the Ding family's land is all cooked land, and it is much easier to dig up.
Ding Dashan decided to clean up the family's land first, and then clean up the fields.
When the family went to the mountains to work, the Wang family was responsible for taking care of the children at home, cooking, washing clothes, delivering water, and taking care of the housework.
It may sound like it's all a trivial task, but it's not easy to add it all together.
There are many Ding families, and they can clean up two acres of land in one day, and it only takes six or seven days to pack twelve acres.
At this time, the cleaning up is just to clean up the grass in the field and paralyze it in the ground, and when it is dry, burn it and dig what should be dug up, and how to deal with it.
When the grass was dry, the family began to clean up the field, and the water in the field was dried up during the autumn harvest, and now it is still dry, and it is also very convenient to weed, and then things are similar, and when the grass is dry, it will burn.
The ashes of the plants and trees that are burned out are considered to be the fertilizer of the base.
In this way, half a month has passed, and after a few days of rest, the grass in the field is almost dry, find a day without any wind and burn the grass in the field, which is half of the work, and the rest is to dig.
The field is dug once a year, and now the field has been too dry before being exposed to water, and it needs to be soaked in water for a few days, and then dug after the soil is soaked and wet.
Of course, you can't soak too hard, and it's not easy to dig if it's too ruthless.
These are not a problem at all for the farmers who have been farming all year round, and they are easy to grasp.
When the Ding family went to dig the land, the Ding family's land was not dug every year, it was dug every other year, and it was dug alternately, and this year there were more than six acres and seven acres to be dug.
Digging the ground is a hard work, but fortunately, the Ding family's ground is dug diligently, and it is not too difficult to dig.
It took the Ding family more than half a month to dig up all the fields in the family.
After digging the field, put water to soak it, soak it for a few days, and repair the leaky and broken ridges in the field, and then wait for spring planting.
In fact, I didn't rest for long, because the good grain seeds had grown to the depth of the middle finger, and it was time to raise seedlings.
Raise seedlings, plant the seedlings in the field one by one, and after a period of time, when they grow to about three feet deep, they can be planted.
The Ding family planted early, and the Zheng family planted the grain in the gap between digging the ground, so the Ding family did not rest for two days and began to raise seedlings.
The fields have been prepared, and the Ding family's seedlings have been raised in more than a day.
It won't be long before it's time to plant corn again, and it's already the end of February, and it's almost Qingming.
