Chapter 21 Slate Kang
In fact, there was no need for Ye Yuran's orders, Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu got up after taking a nap, and wanted to continue to dig sweet potatoes up the mountain with great interest.
This morning's harvest has given them a special sense of accomplishment.
Old man Zhu was not worried about the land at home, so he didn't go.
"You guys go, the old family, the second family, the fourth family, and the fifth family stay at home, such a lot of things have to be cleaned up, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep busy for a while. Ye Yuran slapped the board directly.
Because Li had a big belly, he asked her to sit on a small stool and pick out the broken sweet potatoes, Liu and Liu were responsible for fetching water and washing the broken sweet potatoes, and Lin was responsible for Zhu Bamei was responsible for slicing the washed sweet potatoes and putting them in different baskets.
As for Dabao and Erbao, they were sent out by Ye Yuran, and Zhu Qi went to the side of the small river ditch to dig out the screws.
Ye Yuran couldn't remember where he had seen it, as if he said that screws could be used as feed to feed chickens and pigs.
She didn't know if this thing would work, but no matter how small the screw was, it was still meat, and the little finger was the size of it, and it was stomped with a stone, and the meat inside was picked out, and it could also be fed to the chickens as a vegetable worm.
In this era, every family will raise a few chickens, and basically they will not feed them themselves, and they will all be released to eat outside.
It seems that which one thinks that the chicken still needs to be fed, isn't it for it to find food on its own?
How the free-range chickens hunt, Ye Yuran doesn't know, anyway, she only knows that there are more than ten chickens in the Zhu family, and only two or three can lay eggs, and it's not the world.
Hens don't lay eggs, either they want to hatch eggs, or they don't have enough nutrition to give birth. When the Zhu family's chickens don't hatch eggs, they are not nutritious enough.
Ye Yuran didn't have that much experience, so he could only grope across the river.
The idea of the pig, she didn't dare to fight yet, after all, she couldn't fill her stomach now, and she couldn't feed the pig with feed or grain like in modern times, which was not possible in the current situation of the Zhu family.
Even if you want to experiment, I'm afraid you will have to wait until tomorrow, when the Zhu family starts harvesting sweet potatoes.
"Mother, this basket is full. Li quickly picked up a basket of whole sweet potatoes.
"Then you can pick one up. Ye Yuran took the full basket back to his room and found a place against the corner to put it down.
She also learned from the original owner, counted the numbers, and knew it in her heart.
And when he came out of the house, he washed and cut it into slices, and it was also full of baskets.
Lin reminded: "Mother, we also have a basket here. ”
"Drag out the mat on which the grain usually dries and dry it on it. Ye Yuran said.
"Mother, I don't know where to put the mat for drying grain. ”
As soon as Lin's voice fell, Li stood up and said, "Mother, I know, I'll get it." ”
"You sit honestly, the second family, you go. Ye Yuran said.
"Yes, mother. Liu lowered his head, answered, and went to the utility room at the back to get the old mat.
This kind of mat for drying millet is made by their own family, basically every household has it, and it is generally only taken out during the autumn harvest, and it is basically collected at ordinary times.
After a while, Liu Shi hugged two bundles out: "Mother, where is the shop?"
Ye Yuran looked at the courtyard and pointed to the backyard to the edge, so as not to block everyone's way.
Lin hurriedly went over to help, helped Liu lay it, and dried the sliced sweet potato slices together.
Zhu Bamei's arm was also a little sore, so she hurriedly ran over to help dry it, and moved it again by the way.
Ye Yuran saw that Zhu Bamei was lazy and bright, and she didn't squeak.
She also knew that Zhu Bamei usually didn't work much, but now it was very good to be able to squat here honestly to help cut potato chips, and she didn't force the other party to "do it in one step".
The work of training has a long way to go.
Just two loads, several women in the family were busy for most of the afternoon.
After it was over, there was no arm that wasn't sore, except for Ye Yuran. Because she is the commander-in-chief, her mouth moves more than her arms.
Did Zhu Da and Zhu Er, who went up the mountain, gain anything?
It's a pity that apart from picking a few handfuls of firewood and picking up a few handfuls of wild vegetables, they really didn't find sweet potatoes.
Zhu Si had to sigh: "It's still our mother's luck, it's rare to go up the mountain once, and I found something to eat." ”
"Yes, my mother is also so lucky, she was so lucky to be bumped into by her. Zhu San said, "Could it be that my mother refused to go out in the afternoon, she must have guessed that this thing was not easy to find, so she didn't want to go out." ”
"Isn't this normal? If this thing is so easy to find, the people in the village have already found out, and they will wait until the mother?"
......
After several daughters-in-law finished their work, Ye Yuran didn't support them anymore, let them go back to the house to rest, and she packed it tonight.
When Li Shi heard that his mother-in-law was in charge of dinner, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother, what do you do delicious food at night?!"
Ye Yuran glanced at her: "You know how to eat, don't you have anything else to do besides eating?"
"Hehe, these days, what else can you hope for besides eating? Mother, you just say, what will you do?" Li moved his arms and smiled.
"It's nothing, didn't you pick the little red fruit in the morning? In the evening, I taught you how to make jam, and then make some egg drop soup and some cakes. Ye Yuran thought about it, the little eggs saved by the original owner would not be exchanged for money, and the Zhu family was so thin, so it was better to stay and take care of their bodies.
The body is the capital, and in order to save a few pennies, everyone's body will be dragged down, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
"Egg drop soup?!Really, mother, you're so good!"
"The eggs in your house will be sent to my room in a while, and I will add two more eggs and make a few bowls of egg drop soup for everyone, one bowl per person. ”
Hearing Ye Yuran say this, not to mention that the Li family was happy, even the expressions of the other daughters-in-law were also a little more relaxed.
I am not afraid of work, I am afraid that I have not eaten after work, and the pay is not in contrast to the harvest, and the more I work, the more I am tired.
"Old family, don't go up the mountain to hunt pigweed, feed the pig today," Ye Yuran turned his head and said to the Lin family, "The old five, those sweet potato leaves and vines that are picked out can be fed to the pigs, stomped on them, and let the eighth sister feed them with you." Eighth sister, hear about the decline?"
Zhu Bamei didn't expect this to happen to her, and her face changed slightly: "Mother, I haven't fed it before." ”
She felt very congested, when her mother and her fourth sister-in-law were just now, she still had a gentle attitude, why did she turn to herself as if she had changed into a different person, so annoying?
"So you haven't fed before, so now you have to learn to feed. If you don't know anything, what should you do if you enter the Gaomen compound before? You don't think that there is no one in the Gaomen compound who is responsible for washing the toilet and flushing the thatched house? If you don't practice some physical strength, what will you do if you are assigned dirty work and tired work?"
Zhu Bamei was not convinced: "How can there be such a coincidence? just take my eggs to everyone to drink, and let me do this kind of dirty work, you are still not my mother?"
"I'm not your mother, will I think about you?" Ye Yuran said, "Feeding a pig is dirty work, so your sisters-in-law do it every day, why didn't they say anything?"
"That's because you're a mother-in-law. ”
"You also know that I am my mother-in-law? Do you still think that you don't have to get married, and you don't have to face your mother-in-law for the rest of your life. You can't even endure the hardships of your sisters-in-law, and I really don't dare to marry you off. "Don't be at that time, if you marry out and harm someone else's family, that's her sin.
Ye Yuran really felt that if this Zhu Bamei was not trained well, she would have a grudge against which family she would marry Zhu Bamei directly, and she would definitely be able to get revenge.
is like Zhu Bamei, as long as others don't finish playing with her, Zhu Bamei can be angry with the whole family.
