Chapter 68: Imagine a better life in the future
Liu also smiled, and his heart was even more determined, "My thoughts are the same as yours, and I look forward to settling down and my two daughters growing up healthy and safe." I will work hard for a few more years to earn more money and save for my daughter's dowry. When the time comes, we will see if we can find a local in-law, and the children and grandchildren will stay in the south. ”
Liu Pan'er thought so, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Our family now has so much land and so many new things to grow, I always feel that we can not only eat and clothe us, but also make a fortune. When the time comes, I, as an aunt, will definitely not be stingy and buy a decent dowry for my two nieces. Don't look at the fact that there are only two women in the family, and we still live a prosperous life. ”
Liu has never been so happy as he is now, although he is tired from work, he is not tired at all, and he is very happy.
"Third brother and sister, tell you what I want to say, after settling down here, it is the happiest time in my life." Liu said embarrassedly that the fear of being left behind by her husband and in-laws has disappeared, and she has been able to talk about the past calmly.
Liu Pan'er nodded, "I can see it, not only you, but even Afang Ali is very happy." In the future, if you are not at ease, you can also recruit a son-in-law at home. In our Lijia Village, my daughter is by my side, and I don't worry about my daughter's loss. ”
Hearing this, Liu shook his head again and again, "People in the south are very rich, how can anyone be willing to be a son-in-law?" Even if someone is willing, the character is not good. Instead of recruiting bad men, it is better to marry. Although it may be difficult to be a new daughter-in-law, after boiling out and becoming a mother-in-law, life will be comfortable. ”
Although Liu Paner knew that what her sister-in-law said made some sense, she was still reluctant to marry Ah Rong and Ah Nan in the future.
"It's too early to say this, let's work more, earn more money, and have more people to choose from in the future, and prepare a rich dowry for our daughter in the future, and we will have confidence when we go to our in-laws."
These words reached Liu's heart, "Brother and sister, I think the same way." Dabao learned to hunt with me, secretly discussed with me, and taught him to hunt, and in the future, he will grow up and rely on Ah Fang Ali.
This child has been sensible, brave and resourceful since he was a child. Now I will practice martial arts hard every day, and I will definitely have great skills in the future. With the support of such a brother, Afang Ali gets married, and I don't have to worry about it. ”
The two of them imagined a new life in the future, full of confidence.
Early the next morning, Li Dabao was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Liu was cooking at home, and Liu Paner took Zhou Cuihua and Li Dazhuang to the field to pick more sweet potato seedlings.
The climate here is particularly suitable for plant growth, and sweet potato seedlings grow very luxuriantly.
In less than half an hour, they had picked two baskets.
Li Dazhuang directly carried the sweet potato seedlings on his back and came to the place where he opened up the wasteland.
He was more trouble-free, did not dig a vegetable furrow, and directly dug a pit for sweet potato seedlings and planted them.
In one day, one person planted more than two acres of wasteland with sweet potato seedlings.
After that, Li Dazhuang was busy making adobe bricks, and he didn't pay much attention to these sweet potato seedlings in the wasteland.
The rest of the village also opened up wasteland, which was left empty because there were no seeds. Many people have the idea of clearing the wasteland first and occupying the land.
Now I saw that the village chief and Li Dazhuang had planted sweet potato seedlings from Liu Paner's family, and they came over to ask Liu Paner for sweet potato seedlings.
Liu Paner has always been generous, as long as someone comes to ask for it, she will give it.
So under the leadership of Liu Paner, the villagers planted sweet potatoes on dozens of acres of land that were later opened.
Everyone is busy, and the most leisurely are Grandma Li San and her daughter-in-law Yu, grandson.
The mother-in-law was lazy, and Yu Shi was uneasy, feeling that the family's field was the least in the village, and he was panicked.
Yu did not go far away to open up wasteland, and used shovels to dig the ground near the bamboo shed where the villagers lived before.
Grandma Li Shan saw her daughter-in-law digging the ground, and couldn't help but sarcastically, "Just by digging the ground like this, how much land can you open?" I'm so tired that I'm working in vain! ”
Yu Shi knew that her mother-in-law was lazy, and she didn't expect her mother-in-law to open up the wasteland, "Mother, it's okay if I'm idle anyway, I can dig as much as I can, and I will also plant sweet potatoes." Liu Paner said that the sweet potato bears fruit underneath, and the leaves on it can also be eaten. We should grow vegetables, and it will be convenient to eat vegetables in the future, so we don't have to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. ”
Grandma Li San shook the fan twice and glanced at her daughter-in-law who was working, "Whatever you want, don't say I'm mean to you!" ”
"Mother, I'll help you dig the ground." Suozi saw his mother working, sweating, and felt very sorry for his mother.
Grandma Li San originally closed her eyes to recuperate, but when she heard her grandson's words, she quickly opened her eyes, and her thin hands hurriedly grabbed her grandson's arm.
The lock scratched his head, "But grandma, everyone else has cleared the wasteland, and we have the least land, what will we eat and drink in the future?" ”
Grandma Li San rolled her eyes and said with a smug smile: "Anyway, you can't die of hunger, don't worry about this matter." I was with your mother, and I didn't starve you to death along the way. Working on a hot day is not good for your health, so you have to be careful. ”
The lock was puzzled, but the hand was pulled by the grandmother and could not go.
Besides, he had never worked before, and if he really wanted to work under the sun, he couldn't stand it, so he had to give up.
Yu also felt sorry for her son, but just now her son said that he wanted to help her work, she was reluctant to let her son work hard, and she was grateful to her son for honoring her.
In fact, her son's filial piety to her is only limited to her mouth.
However, Yu was already satisfied.
A small village, all kinds of people, all different.
Seeing that the people in the village continued to make mud bricks, Liu couldn't help but ask, "Third brother and sister, don't we really do it?" ”
Liu Pan'er shook her head, "Don't do it, our mud bricks are enough to build two rooms." By the time autumn comes, it's enough to cover it in one go, enough for us to survive the winter. What we grow, whether it's food or something new, can be sold for money. When the time comes, spend money to buy bricks and tiles, and directly build a tiled house. ”
Liu didn't have the confidence of Liu Pan'er, "Okay, since the third brother and sister said so, then so be it." I don't go to the field, I go to see if there is any prey in the trap. ”
I am used to eating meat at two ends for three days, after all, there is no food, just by eating wild vegetables, my stomach is empty, and I am very greedy.
"Sister-in-law, be careful." Liu Pan'er explained, "I'll go to the field to have a look." ”
Life was busy and fulfilling, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty days passed.
Liu Pan'er came to the rice field, and at this time she was holding a shovel and was drawing water from the stream to her field. When there was enough water inside, the mud was shoveled with a shovel to block the water inlet.
At this time, the rice in the rice field is already knee-high, growing very fast, and the rice seedlings are strong.
In the rice fields, there are frogs and spiders.
Seeing this, Liu Paner thought of the food program she saw in her previous life, rice and fish.
Could she also go to the river below to catch some small fish and let them in? When the rice matures and the fish grow, you can harvest a lot of fish.
