Before and after the Qingming Festival, melons and beans were planted, and after the eldest aunt passed, Lily hurriedly took the plum to plant melons and vegetables.

In the past few days, the river mud has been fully dried in the vegetable field, which can not only preserve the moisture Note1, but also not let the seeds rot in the ground as much water as when they were first fished out.

Lily felt that her strength was greater than that of Lamei, and she used a pickaxe to dig out a long shallow ditch in front of her, and Lamei followed behind, pinching a few seeds at certain distances and placing them in the ditch, covering them with a layer of soil, and compacting them slightly.

It didn't take long for Lily to be sweating profusely and panting with her pickaxe, and Lamei switched with her, ditched herself, and let her sow seeds.

The two sisters took turns and only planted half of the plants in one day. Wang Xiaofu brought an extra corn seed, this surprise exceeded Lily's expectations, the original two points of land will not be enough, to plant corn, you have to open another point of land.

Lamei didn't know that corn took up space, so she asked Lily, "Can't you squeeze a small piece of land out?"

Lily refused to waste these rare seeds easily, and must plant them well, and despite her physical exhaustion, she still managed to open another wasteland, and after a few days, the amount of food increased a lot.

Courgettes and pumpkins are planted together, lentils and cowpeas are neighbors, cabbage and radish each occupy a piece of land, and corn next to it occupies a large plot of land. After a few crops were planted, at a glance, the ground was still bare, only the shallow traces of the pickaxe were criss-crossed.

Lily imagined that in a few days there would be green seedlings poking out of the ground, swaying and stretching in the spring breeze, and she was very happy.

Lamei is also tired and sore, but fortunately, she also has a lot of daily work at home, although it is harder now, she doesn't have to be scolded by her mother, she is happy in her heart. What's more, the eldest sister often advises her to sleep more and not have to get up early in the morning to work.

After her body was exhausted to the limit, Lily decided to give herself and Lamei a day off, she let Lamei lie on the bed, and pinched her shoulders and loosened her bones.

Lamei has never been touched like this since she was born, and she wanted to hide while shouting pain, and Lily patted her lightly on the back: "Don't move, it's comfortable after pinching!"

pinched and pounded down, Lily was tired and sweaty first, Lamei got up and stretched her waist, "It's really comfortable!"

Lily leaned down on the bed, "Pinch my bones like this." ”

Lamei is a person who has done farm work, and her hands are big among girls, and she is very comfortable with pinching the lily, and she is a little tired these days, and she falls asleep unconsciously.

After pinching the bones of the eldest sister, Lamei wanted to wake her up, but suddenly found that she was asleep, so she had to withdraw lightly and take chaff from the kitchen to feed the chickens. The nutrients of the river mud alone could not make these seeds grow well, so the lily changed into the most shabby clothes and took the plum to the road to collect dung. The smell of cow and horse feces is actually not too big, and the lily still needs to overcome the psychological one, Lamei has long been accustomed to picking up dung and firewood at home, and she dare not look up

People, pick up quickly.

Spread two baskets of manure evenly in the vegetable field, and as the seeds germinate and grow slowly, the fertility will seep into the soil little by little and be absorbed by the crops. If you pour manure directly on the seeds, you will "burn" them.

The days are getting longer, and the time for dinner is delayed. The two sisters sweated during the day, and the smell of manure was stained on their bodies, so they washed their clothes, washed their hair and bathed, and then cooked a fragrant meal.

After eating, close the chicken coop and sit in the yard to dry your hair, first comb it with a wooden comb, and then use a grate to avoid lice in your hair.

Li Caifeng took Xing'er to the outside of the fence, saw that Lily was giving Lamei grate hair, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten?"

Lily also hurriedly said hello, let the two people in and sat down, and asked them if they had eaten.

Xing'er was holding a basket in her hand, her eyes lit up with excitement, "Aunt Lily!" Her big eyes purred, as if to say, "Guess what I brought you!"

Lily didn't disappoint Xing'er, squatted down and asked her, "What good things did Xing'er bring to Auntie?"

Xing'er said "You guess", and at the same time, she couldn't help but send the basket to Lily's eye: "Look!"

In the basket was a little black dog, only two palms and meat, looking at Lily with dark and moist eyes, and whimpering quietly.

Li Caifeng said: "I have long told my uncle about the dog, and I only found a good one in the past two days, and the sunspot is still a family, and if you count it seriously, it wants to call the sunspot uncle." ”

Speaking of the dog's generation, the two adults couldn't help but laugh.

From before Apricot entered the yard, Kuroko kept wagging his tail at her, wagging it for a long time, and when he saw that the little master didn't pay attention to it and stared at the basket wholeheartedly, he also walked over to look into the basket.

At first glance, the sunspot let out a threatening cry, and Li Caifeng hurriedly stopped: "Heizi, you are not allowed to bully it!" Lily reached out and took the puppy out, let it sniff her palm, and asked Lamei to take the remaining rice soup from the house for it to drink. Kuroko saw that the rice bowl of this little thing was not the same as the one he used, and he was a little relieved, and he seemed to smell a familiar smell from the little thing, hesitated for a moment, and licked it

Licking the puppy's back is considered to have accepted a new family member.

"The puppy has to be taught, let the sunspot take it first, and in a few months the melons and vegetables you planted will grow, and it will grow up. Li Caifeng said.

Apricot jumped on the ground, trying to get the attention of the adults: "Auntie, give it a name!"

Lily observes the new puppy, which is still round and round, but can already be seen to be similar to Kuroko, with slender and flexible limbs. Because I'm too old, I'm still a little bit of a tiger's head.

"Let's call it Black Tiger!"

"Black Tiger is good!" Xing'er thought the name was good, and she knew that she was in the same family as Kuroko when she heard it. From now on, the puppy will be called the Black Tiger.

Li Caifeng touched the puppy's head twice: "Black Tiger, you have to grow into a good dog, as majestic as a tiger." ”

is majestic, so that some evil-hearted thieves can be suppressed, so that Lily has a place to rely on when she is home alone.

After handing over the puppy, while the sky was not yet completely dark, Li Caifeng went to the lily's vegetable field again, and came back to say to her: "I see that your manure is still not enough, these days are just a few days, the vegetable seedlings are grown, and the fertilizer will not grow if it can't keep up." ”

Vegetables and fruits must be fattened before they grow, otherwise the vegetables that will grow at that time will be yellow and thin, and they will not be delicious.

Lily said, "What my sister-in-law said is that I am worried about this. I originally wanted to go to the road to pick up dung every day these days, but you know, there are so many dolls that pick up dung on the road, and I can't grab much. I also have to sell raspberries, so I can't do both. ”

She sells raspberries for those who have extra money, and most of these people are very particular about it, and they will only buy fruit when they see that she is clean. If she smells of manure, she doesn't want to touch the food, let alone the person who buys the fruit?

"It's okay," Li Caifeng thought for a while and said, "I have pigs at home, and when I need fertilizer when I go back, you can go to me." ”

Fertilizer is dirty, but the countryside people take it very seriously, with it, the farmer in the field can grow well, and the harvest can go up.

There is a joke about a person walking on the road who needs to urinate, and others tell him that he can just find a place to solve it, but this person has to hold back for half an hour and go to his own field to pee.

Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is not an empty word in the countryside, it is a real situation. The road is clean and clean, all because families send teenage children out to play and pick up dung, but Lily can't rob those who are proficient.

Li Caifeng was willing to give her her own fertilizer, which was a great favor, and Lily was very moved, and said after a while: "Sister Caifeng, I don't know how to repay you." ”

Li Caifeng said with a smile: "What are you talking about! What is the relationship between our two families, and I still want you to repay it? Not to mention my family's family and the big year, just say how much benefit this little demon star has gained from you these days, how can I not look at it?"

Xing'er hugged the little black tiger and played with the sunspot, and said to the sunspot: "Don't bully the black tiger." He also said to the black tiger that he wanted to be long, and his tone and demeanor were very similar to Li Caifeng.

Lamei pursed her lips and smiled, and Lily saw that Xing'er was completely learning from Li Caifeng, and couldn't help but say: "Our apricots are painful." ”

Li Caifeng saw that Lamei didn't speak, and knew that she had the courage to talk to her. Lamei used to hide when she saw people, and she wanted to shrink herself into the crack in the ground, but now she can get better, when Lily and Li Caifeng were talking, she listened and laughed on the side.

But as soon as Li Caifeng asked, Lamei revealed her prototype again, her eyes dodged, and she couldn't speak. Feeling ashamed, tears welled up in her eyes and she hurried into the kitchen.

Li Caifeng looked at Lily with some embarrassment, and Lily smiled busily: "You know that she is afraid that I am slowly teaching." As he spoke, he sighed, "I don't know when I can teach it." ”

Li Caifeng laughed: "Do you think everyone is like you, and suddenly they become smart?"

She saw the change in the lily and was very pleased. Lamei is another lily of the day, but there is no chance of her eldest sister, she has come to the town these days, seeing her just blushing and smiling, she never knows how to open her mouth to call sister.

What she knew, the Tao was Lamei gall and let it go. Those who don't know are afraid that they will say that Lamei is not sensible, as if there is no one in her eyes.

It seems that Lily wants to take all the things before Lamei's marriage on herself, and Lamei is not enlightened, she can bear it. It's just that Li Caifeng can't call Lily to ignore Lamei, that's Lily's sister-in-law, if she doesn't care, it will make people's hearts cold.

Li Caifeng sighed, the next time she saw Xiaofeng, she told her to talk to Lamei more when she was looking for lilies to play, and not to always snub her. They are all little girls, but I'm afraid they can talk about going together.

Xiaofeng was not very happy to take care of Lamei, "She is very boring, I don't want to play with her." ”

Li Caifeng was so angry that she poked Xiaofeng's forehead with her finger: "That's your sister Lily's own sister, she's not good, can Lily be good?" Ask you to play with her, not ask you to feed her, you're not happy!" Xiaofeng was taught a lesson by the eldest sister, so she kept this incident in mind, and went to Lily to play tricks in the future, always have to talk to Lamei, and do everything possible to lead her to talk.
