Chapter 19: The Passage of Years

Time flies, time flies. When it was another summer, Yang Xue had been here for four years.

Early in the morning, a woman in a yellow cloth dress squatted in a vegetable patch doing something, and after a while, the woman stood up and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. When she raised her hand, she could see that she had a pair of slender and round hands, and when she lowered her hand, she could see that she was a beauty, with a pair of curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of dark and watery eyes under the willow eyebrows; She has a straight nose and a small reddish mouth, as well as waist-length black hair that is tied vertically with red ropes.

It turned out to be Yang Xue, she is also fourteen years old this year, and her body has begun to develop, and she is more than one meter and six. She also came to Kwai Sui in late spring this year, and her body has started to develop rapidly since she came to Kwai Sui. There are also two big meat buns on the chest, and the figure is also good, with long hands and long feet that are not fat or thin. And the ratio of the body to the thighs is just right, so I don't feel that the body is as long as the thighs.

She is pulling weeds in the vegetable patch at the door, and this year she has planted more than a dozen vegetable patches. In the first two years, she took the dried vegetables to the town and sold them for some silver, so this year she specially planted them.

This year, she planted a bunch of leeks, as well as some green beans, cowpeas, peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, winter melons, and so on. But this year, she planted a few more plots of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be eaten as vegetables and rice. Although she is not short of food now, she still has to grow a little by herself if she can grow it herself, and she can't rely on others for everything.

In addition, she has planted corn, soybeans and mung beans in the field, and after the past two years of cultivation, she wants to try to plant corn this year to see if she can have a harvest. In addition to the land occupied by the repair house and the vacant land left behind, the land at the entrance was planted with vegetables and potatoes and sweet potatoes on the edge, and some pumpkins and winter melons were planted on the edge. The rest was planted with soybeans in more than one field, mung beans in more than one place, and corn in the rest.

There is also the loofah she planted the year before last, which is growing quite well this year, and a large cage of vines climbs on the support she built. She also planted a few pumpkins next to the stand, all of which were now bearing fruit, some of them falling on the shelves, some hanging from them.

She also planted a lot of peach trees by the river, and they have grown a lot this year, and the peach tree she first found is not as lush as it was at the beginning. This year's fruiting rate is not as high as in previous years, but a few more saplings have grown next to it, all of which have grown from peach pits that fell naturally on the ground before. She also planted a few peach trees on the way from the edge of her home to the river, not mainly for food, she just liked peach blossoms, and she liked to see the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms in one tree.

She also planted a lot of walnuts on the side of the road down the mountain, among which she also planted some peach trees and wild cherry trees. The flowers of this wild cherry are pink and more beautiful than the peach blossoms, but in her previous life, she heard from her family that wild cherries could not be eaten, so she never ate them. However, the flowers are really beautiful, and they are especially beautiful even during the fruiting period, especially when the wild cherries are red. In her previous life, she was particularly fond of wild cherry blossoms, and there used to be many wild cherry trees on the mountains behind her hometown, and she would bloom in winter. She especially likes to climb trees to play, and sometimes she will pick flower petals with a bag. Even after going out to work, every time she comes home, as long as it is the flowering season, she will run to see it, and she will take a lot of photos on her mobile phone.

In addition to these, there are also quite a lot of changes in the family. Let's talk about the repaired bedroom, which now has a new bed about the same size as the one in the cave, and a long table that is noticeably better than before, and two shelves. The bed was placed on the left hand side of the door against the wall, and on the opposite side of the door was a table, and there was nothing on the table, just a mirror and a comb. At the foot of the bed there is a two-tiered shelf, above which are two wooden boxes and a rattan box, and below which are some clothes and cloth. There was also a two-tiered shelf against the wall opposite the bed, on which some small bits and bits were placed and some shoes. The floor is also very firm and flat, and the room is clean.

Looking at the kitchen again, there is also a table in the kitchen, the table is a square table, and a bench is placed on all sides. The stove is about one meter high, and there are two large stoves on it, but there is a round hole in the middle of the two large stoves, and a small pot for boiling water can be placed on it. She didn't know how to repair chimneys, so she stuck a bamboo tube next to the pot where she had put it. The middle of the bamboo tube is opened, and the bamboo tube is also relatively large, the length is almost a little more than a meter, in order not to be burned to the bamboo tube she also deliberately put it out, that piece can be seen is obviously much higher than other places. However, although there is still a lot of smoke when this bamboo tube is installed to make a chimney for cooking, it is still effective, at least when the fire is lit, it is better to make a little lighter, and when the smoke comes out, there is a route that will not fill the house all at once, it will go above the house and then go out through the door.

In addition to these, the kitchen also has two double-decker shelves, one shelf for kitchen utensils such as dishes, chopsticks and knives, and one shelf for empty seasoning basins and the like. There are also several jars inside, one for kimchi, one for lard and one for vegetable oil, and two urns for rice and flour grains, and the rice and noodles in the urns are basically full. Now there are many seasonings in the kitchen, such as: salt, soy sauce, vinegar, dried garlic, chili pepper, pepper, etc. There were also two buckets on the ground, and the buckets were full of water.

When I came to the utility room, it can't be said that it is a utility room now, but it should be a warehouse. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the bacon hanging on the pole is very cured chicken, and there are also two two-tier shelves placed on the left and right walls, and one shelf is placed with some dried vegetables, bamboo shoots, dried dates, etc., which are packed in pockets, as well as some sieves and dustpans. On the other shelf was some grain, corn and wheat in large sacks. On one side, there were some old pumpkins and winter melons on the ground, as well as a few baskets and baskets. These baskets were not made by herself, but bought in the town, and they were many times better than those she made. There was also a small shelf, but the wood of the shelf was large, and there was a small stone mill on the shelf, which she had bought to grind her own grain. In the corner to the right of the entrance there are some axes, saws, hoes, shovels, etc.

However, most of the things in the cave have not been moved out, such as the bed and shelves inside, and the small stove or something is still in it. It's just clothes, quilts, sheets, and the like that are taken out. In the past two years, she has also made cotton wool and straw mats to make beds, which are spread outside in the new house. In winter, she still lives in the cave, and when it is very cold, she cooks rice and boils water in it.

There were seven chickens left in the house, six hens and a rooster, and one rooster that she killed and ate. She still picks up a few eggs every day, and if she can't finish eating them alone, she will carry them to the town down the mountain to sell. Because the eggs laid by her chickens are not small, the price is the same as the others, so her eggs sell well every time.
