Li Xiaobao specially asked Grandma Li how to hatch chicks and how long it will take to hatch them. He didn't have chickens, so he prepared soft grass nests for quail eggs, and covered them with his own clothes, which he turned over every day.

During the day, he put it in the kitchen firewood and straw, and at night he brought it back to the cave and put it next to himself.

Everyone felt that Li Xiaobao's move could not succeed, but they did not stop him.

Liu Paner took Liu, carrying a basket on her back, to her sweet potato field and pinched off the excess sweet potato seedlings that had grown.

Not only is the basket full of sweet potato seedlings, but there are also several large bundles of sweet potato seedlings on the ground.

At this time, Liu saw a fat rabbit eating sweet potato seedlings, and quickly took out his homemade small bow and arrow, aimed at the rabbit, and shot.

The rabbit heard the sound and was about to run away when he was shot.

"Third brother and sister, I shot a rabbit, and it's a big rabbit." Liu shouted excitedly and looked at the three brothers and sisters who were working not far away.

Liu Pan'er turned her head, put down the sweet potato seedlings in her hand, and looked happy, "Oh, sister-in-law, you are so amazing, such a big rabbit." You see, our sweet potato seedlings have been eaten a lot by rabbits, and it seems that we have to make clips to clip rabbits. ”

Liu nodded, "Okay, I can do it with bamboo." I'll do it when I get back tonight, and this rabbit eats this one bare. A few more, it is estimated that we can eat up our sweet potato leaves. ”

Liu Paner looked at the tender sweet potato leaves, she had wanted to eat them for a long time, and she was still thinking about what excuse to use just now to make her sister-in-law believe that sweet potato leaves can also be eaten.

This rabbit is a good excuse.

Liu Pan'er smiled happily and carried the rabbit, "Sister-in-law, look at the sweet potato leaves are thick and juicy, and they are very tender." Rabbits can eat it, and so can we. Why don't we go home and try it? ”

Fleeing all the way to the wilderness and eating wild vegetables, the understanding that animals can eat what people can eat is very profound.

Therefore, Liu nodded, "Okay, what kind of taste is it, at most it tastes bad, but it will definitely not kill people." ”

For those who have experienced desertion, the requirements are so low.

"Okay, let's pick some more." Liu Pan'er replied, pulling a sweet potato leaf and putting it in her mouth, "Sister-in-law, the taste is not bad, not bitter." ”

The two came back with a lot of sweet potato seedlings, and the land in the yard of the family had been sorted into vegetable furrows.

Li Dabao used a small shovel to dig a pit, Liu Paner carried a bucket to water, Li Li took a sweet potato seedling and planted it, and Li Fang buried the soil behind.

Liu is responsible for carrying water from the creek, and everyone cooperates closely and is very efficient.

In one afternoon, two and a half acres of sweet potato fields were planted.

It is more tiring to carry water back and forth, and Liu Paner and her sister-in-law exchange water, which is particularly hard.

Liu Pan'er sat on the ground, panting, "Sister-in-law, although the creek is not far from us, it is a little tiring to carry water back and forth." When I have time, I think I have to ask someone to dig a well at home. ”

Liu smiled, "It's naturally good to have well water, but now everyone is busy making adobe bricks, and there is no time at all." Let's talk about it when everyone is free, it's not that there is no water, and the creek is just outside the door not far away. ”

"That's what my sister-in-law said." Liu Pan'er responded, and just wanted to blanch the remaining half basket of sweet potato seedlings to adjust the cold vegetables.

Zhou Cuihua saw that Liu Pan'er and Liu had planted these two pieces of land with their children in a few days, so she beckoned to Liu Pan'er, "Yuanqing's family, there are still a lot left, right?" It just so happened that I was fine, so I planted my family's land as well. ”

Zhou Cuihua opened three and a half acres of land at the door of her home, and she also wanted to plant things.

Although Liu Paner really wanted to try the sweet potato seedling mixed dish, she thought that the cultivation of sweet potatoes could be promoted earlier, so that more people could be fed and clothed earlier, so she nodded, "Okay, my aunt will give it to you." Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the field to pick some more. ”

At this time, Li Dazhuang made mud bricks for a day, came back from outside, saw that the wasteland opened by Liu Paner had been planted, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you still have this seedling at home?" If anything, give me a little, the wasteland I opened on the hillside is still empty! ”

"Yes, next morning, you and Aunt Cuihua will go to my field to pick it yourself, and it will grow luxuriantly." Liu Paner agreed, "Cuttings can live, whoever wants sweet potato seedlings, tell me." Not only does this thing grow fruit underneath, but rabbits and wild boars can eat sweet potato leaves, and people can eat it too. When it grows much longer, we don't have to look around for wild vegetables, and just eat sweet potato leaves. ”

"That's great, that's it, sister-in-law, I'll pick it up early tomorrow morning. What is the heavy work at home, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, don't hold on, call me, I, Li Dazhuang, will come over to help immediately. Li Dazhuang smiled honestly, and after getting the benefits of Liu Paner, he wanted to reciprocate.

"Okay!" Liu Paner responded, smiling.

Liu Paner and Liu continued to sit on the ground, continuing to look at the freshly planted sweet potatoes, "Brother and sister, can we have a bumper harvest this year?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded without hesitation, "It must be possible!" God lives up to the hard-working people, we work so hard to live hard, open up wasteland and farm, we will definitely be able to get good results. ”

Liu Shi smiled when she heard this, when she heard such words before, she may have taken it as a comfort, fled all the way, and after several dangers, she was able to turn the danger into a disaster, so that Liu Shi realized that maybe there were really immortals.

Liu turned his head to look at Liu Pan'er, "Brother and sister, do you want a third brother?" ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she was slightly stunned, and shook her head without hesitation, "What do you want him to do?" It's useless to think about it, it's not reliable! ”

Liu Paner's words sounded like she was complaining, but in fact she was.

She is not the original body, she doesn't know Li Yuanqing at all, let alone misses her.

For her, Li Yuanqing is a stranger.

When Li Yuanqing came over, she even wanted to reconcile with Li Yuanqing.

It's not a husband and wife, it's quite embarrassing to be entangled.

Liu smiled, "Actually, it's a pity to think about it now, the third brother could have studied back then, but our father-in-law, who had repeatedly failed the test, still dreamed of being a talent in the exam, so he insisted on occupying the family's money and food, and didn't let Yuan Qing study, so he had to take the exam himself."

As a result, after so many years of exams, I didn't catch anything in the end. If the third brother is allowed to study and take the imperial examination, maybe now he will not only be a talented master, a master of lifting, but even a master of Jinshi.

Hey, the third brother had no choice at that time, and was forced to go to the border to make a living. I can understand that you complain about him in your heart, but the third brother's character is indeed very good, anyway, it is much better than the man before me. ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she sighed, "How do you say it?" Anyway, the situation is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to tell my sister-in-law.

At this stage, I don't want to do anything, I just want to open up the wasteland and farm the land, settle down in the south, and never have to flee the famine again. The four children were able to grow up safely and in good health. No matter how much it is, I don't dare to think about it now, let's talk about it later. ”
