Guo's scolding was dark, and he still couldn't get out of this breath.

Chunhong was afraid that she would mention that her men didn't work again, so she said.

"My mother really can't think about it, and the Li family won't help if she doesn't help.

The land has no legs, and there it is.

In the fall, let's help harvest a few acres.

Not everything is topped! ”

Guo Shi and Su Niang's eyes lit up when they heard this.

That's a great idea!

The Li family's thirty acres of land are scattered in several places.

It's so easy to sneak some back.

But the plan is good, and the land at home still needs to be planted.

On the second day, I fought with the chickens and dogs at home.

Guo also tossed his son and daughter-in-law into the ground.

After three days of grinding, two acres of land were planted.

There are three acres left, and Liu Tiezhu is dead or alive.

Be sure to leave it to Liu Laifu!

Liu Laifu is messing around in the city.

Since the Wu family moved to the city, he has more places to stay.

I didn't come back for ten and a half months.

How will you come back to farming?

So, the three acres of land of the Liu family were empty.

But Qingshui Village has few people and a lot of land.

In the past few years, there were too many dead, the village was ruined, and everyone hated bad luck.

Even if someone buys land, they won't come here.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are no people planting a few acres of empty land.

The Li family ate dumplings, and Jiaren went to school.

Li Laosi saw that there was nothing wrong at home, so he also went to walk with Jiayi.

Li Laosan was idle and went into the city to find some odd jobs for the tiles.

Occasionally, I can get thirty or fifty yuan a day.

Tao Hongying was also busy, taking Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan to the banquet.

She is cheerful, hard-working, and her cooking is delicious.

As long as you take over a business, the relatives and friends of this family will be interested.

Whenever there is something at home, they all come to Qingshui Village.

After spring planting, it is rare to have a quiet month, which is also the peak season for each family to marry.

So much so that at the end of the month, Tao Hongying actually earned eighteen taels of wages.

Mrs. Li was happy to bloom, and she couldn't wait to offer her daughter-in-law.

Jiayin took the opportunity to wean herself from breast milk.

Save your mother from being busy outside, and worry about coming back to breastfeed her.

She is also a big child now, and she can go on all fours, both inside and outside the house.

Sometimes, when Jia An Jiaxi pulled her hands left and right, she could still walk upright for a few steps.

Don't look at it as just a few steps, but it means that she has broken away from the ranks of reptiles.

It's just gratifying!

Mrs. Li is at home, and her main task is to cook and take her granddaughter.

Big pot rice is easy to make, nothing more than sorghum rice, millet porridge, cakes, stews.

Occasionally, Tao Hongying brought back meat dishes, and she added a meal to everyone.

The rest of the time, she concentrates on figuring out what to eat for her granddaughter.

The red dates are soaked and peeled softly, and then put into the millet porridge and boiled into one, which is fragrant and sweet.

Egg custard, two bowls a day, absolutely indispensable.

Add thin noodles with eggs and chopped green onions, and bake them into soft cakes.

Stir-fry the minced cabbage and put it in the white rice porridge.

Occasionally, when there is no one at home, the fish and shrimp taken out by the granddaughter are cleaned and chopped.

In short, the grandparents and grandchildren cooperate tacitly.

It's all for growing up quickly, and for good news, the body is great!

At first, Tao Hongying was reluctant, and the eight-month-old child was weaned a little early.

As a result, I saw that the girl didn't stick to her, and the porridge and egg custard were fragrant.

is even more white and fat, with a ruddy face.

She was relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it is May, and delicate seedlings have grown in various fields.

The mountains and forests were also completely dressed in green robes.

The women and children in the village have to go up the mountain when they have nothing to do.

Dig some wild vegetables back, wash them and dip them in sauce to eat.

To pay more attention, add some sweet and sour salt to salad.

These are all good things on the table and under the meal.

It's like everything is going well.

Heaven and earth are full of life, just waiting for the autumn harvest.

But the old people are a little unsteady in their hearts.

Including the village chief, they have to go around the fields every day.

Because, since the New Year, there has not been a little rain.

Nowadays, the moisture in the fields depends on the melting winter snow.

But the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and if it doesn't rain anymore, the fields will be dry.

Not only that, but the river outside the village is gradually becoming shallow.

The villagers with a generous heart smiled and persuaded everyone.

"The great river flows from the south, and rice is grown in the south.

There is a lot of water needed, and maybe all the water will be divided. ”

This statement appeased many people.

But the old people still think it's not good, but it's not good to say much.

Mrs. Li carried her granddaughter on her back, and she would also go to the river every day for a walk.

Jiayin made a show and took duck eggs from the courtyard twice.

Let grandma go back with her clothes in her pocket.

After all, no one picks up duck eggs at home, but they eat salted duck eggs every once in a while.

It's a little weird to think about...

Jiayin also frowned, a little worried.

She had seen the seedlings in her own field.

It's the same as the village, it's neither good nor bad.

But compared to the five acres of land in the space, it is a little insufficient.

This year, maybe it's really not a good year!

As the days passed, more and more people felt that something was wrong.

Because it's so scary hot.

At this time of the year, you still have to wear a coat.

But this year, the naughty boys are already barebacked.

The solar term seems to be more than a month in advance.

And the rain still hasn't fallen...

This night, Mrs. Li lay beside her granddaughter, shaking the fan and sighing.

"Fu Niu'er, did you say that this year is not good?"

"Ahh

Jia Yin was pulling his little belly pocket hotly, and he was also irritable.

If you grow too fat, you can see the shortcomings at this time.

Her legs were crooked in the groin, beads of sweat.

Eczema has grown, itching is uncomfortable.

It's rare that Mrs. Li didn't see her granddaughter uncomfortable, and continued to worry.

"What can I do, there is so much land at home.

If it's a drought, it's bad if you don't get food. ”

"Ahh Jiayin wanted to say that the family should hurry up and store grain.

But she couldn't speak, so she could only take out a handful of sorghum from the space.

This is still the seed that was stolen at the beginning, and there is so little left.

The old lady was afraid of stabbing her granddaughter, so she quickly got up and cleaned up.

Finally, holding the handful of sorghum and thinking about it, she took out the money box again.

There are many people in the family, there is a lot of food, and there is a lot of money.

Set aside twenty taels for urgent use, and the rest that can be used is still in the early fifties.

At this time, I started to stock up on grain, at least to buy enough food for my family to eat for a year.

Be prepared for a blank harvest in the fall.

Hold on until next spring, when the wild vegetables come out, to breathe a sigh of relief.

There are more than a dozen people in the Li family, plus six old men next door.

It's two meals a day, seven points full, and more than 2,000 catties of food...

These fifty taels to buy the cheapest sorghum is also reluctant.

Jiayin couldn't bear to worry about her grandmother, so she hurriedly squeezed into her arms.

Don't worry if you want grandma, and she has a strong backing.

Sure enough, the old lady hugged her granddaughter in her arms, barely relieved.

There's a granddaughter, this baby bump.

You can't let people starve to death at home at critical times, right?

But the plans that should be done still have to be done, and you can't count on the children.

Early the next morning, we had dinner.

Mrs. Li called the second and third children, as well as Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru.

"I see that the weather is not good, and I am afraid that there will be a big drought this year.

Everyone in the village has the rations left over from last year, but our family doesn't have them.

I thought I would go into the city to buy more food and come back to prepare. ”

Li Lao Er and Li Lao San both nodded.

"It's not good for us to look at it, in case it's...

At least you can't go hungry at home. ”

Mrs. Li took the silver and came out.

"That's most of our family's silver.

Let's buy grain, buy twenty catties of white rice for Fu Niu'er.

The rest is cheap, and what is hungry to buy. ”

Li Lao Er took the silver and went out with Li Lao San to set up a car.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were also flustered and hurriedly said.

"Mother, let's go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, dry them and put them away.

When the time comes, put it in the porridge, and you can also fight hunger. ”

"Okay, go ahead, don't go too deep into the woods."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and Li Lao Er and Li Lao San in the courtyard were already shouting in surprise.

"Mother, the fourth is back!"
