Chapter 142: Unexpected Joy
Jiayin was ecstatic, rolled desperately on the big bed a few times, and then went straight to the house, looking here and there, like a mad rabbit, jumping up and down.
This frightened the real rabbits in the cage, and they all shrank in the corner, gurgling and rolling their red eyes.
The chickens, ducks and geese in the pen, and even the four fat pigs, also stretched their necks, very curious.
Who is this little chubby girl who suddenly appeared?
But Jiayin didn't have the time to scold them, she tossed her little short legs upside down, and went straight to the vegetable garden and farmland behind.
As soon as I picked a cucumber and nibbled on it, I remembered that the little baby teeth were not strong, so I could only pick another apple and touch the taste.
The sweetness of the long-lost fruit made her eyes squint happily.
This time she hurt her head, she really didn't shed so much blood in vain, and after the space was closed for so long, she actually showed kindness and let her whole person come in.
In the future, you can come in at any time to steal food, and if you are in danger, you can also hide in.
Woo, it's so blissful!
Jiayin sat on the steps, happy and wanted to dance.
As a result, when she looked up, she suddenly noticed that the right edge of the vegetable garden seemed to have changed.
Originally, this space was a bit like a gourd.
The small courtyard and vegetable garden are gourd heads, the area is small, and the five acres of land behind are the big belly of the gourd.
But now the gray mist on the right side of the garden seems to have given way to an area, about five ridges of land.
Jia Yin was curious, and leaned over to take a closer look.
In this extra place, the soil color is much darker than that of the vegetable garden, and when I grab a handful, the soil is black and swarthy, slightly moist and clumpy, as if a spring rain has just fallen.
It can be seen that this piece of land is very fertile, and anything planted will grow well.
But the space is finally upgraded once, won't it be so stingy, just give a small vegetable garden?
Jiayin frowned, and wanted to explore again, when she suddenly heard someone talking, she was so frightened that she threw half of the fruit in her hand and flashed out.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li was worried about her granddaughter, and came back to sleep with her granddaughter.
Jia Yin almost missed the filling, and her little heart fluttered in fright, and she rolled over to her grandmother's lap and grinned.
The old lady rubbed her granddaughter's hair, suddenly smelled a faint fruity fragrance, guessed that her granddaughter had eaten it secretly, and nodded her little nose.
"The village has already discussed building a house, and when we have our own home, you and grandma will have a room, and you can eat whatever you want. Nowadays, there are a lot of people, so you should be careful, you know? ”
Jiayin nodded violently, climbed onto her grandmother's lap, and quickly stuffed a piece of candy into the old lady's mouth.
The old lady glared at her granddaughter in disgust, but she didn't dare to open her mouth, for fear that the sweetness would be discovered.
The grandfather and grandson leaned on each other like this, looking at the empty valley outside, and the busy villagers, not speaking but feeling at ease.
Difficulties are all immediate, as long as you are safe, healthy and reunited, you are not afraid of anything.
After lunch, Li Lao Er took a pen and paper out, and everyone gathered around to write down the work that needed to be done in front of them, and divided the priorities.
The first thing to build is not a house, but a latrine.
If the Lazar of a hundred or so people is not dealt with properly, I am afraid that this valley will soon be dirty and unable to get off the feet.
Besides, manure and urine are the best farm fertilizer, and when they are accumulated, they can be used in the future.
The latrine should be selected at the downwind outlet, and men and women should be separated, preferably with a distance in the middle, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for men, women and children to always meet at the door.
Behind the latrine is the burning of wasteland, which is a dangerous and technical event.
The spring wind is strong, and if you are not careful, you can cause a series of mountain fires, and when the time comes, you will not be able to open up the wasteland, and you will have to squat in prison...
The village chief advocated winning in stability, digging up dwarf pines first, and then burning barren grass.
Moreover, the dwarf pine can be dried in the sun, and it can also be used to build a shack, or instead of burning firewood.
Of course, the premise of digging dwarf pine and burning wasteland is tools, and such a job does not have a pickaxe and shovel, even if you are tired to death, you will not be able to open a few acres of land.
But when everyone first arrived, it was not easy to buy iron tools and farm tools, so they could only wait for the time being. Wait for Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen, or Ye Gongzi to come back and ask them for help.
After that, it was time to build a house, and there were many old people and children in the village, so they couldn't always live in shacks.
The house must be built before the rainy season, otherwise it will be rainy and rainy, and there will be no dry and warm place to live, and the elderly and children will be prone to illness.
In the end, it is the rations and the good seeds.
Previously, before Ye Gongzi left in a hurry, he had people send more than 30 bags of grain, and it was not a problem for everyone to eat for two months, but there was still half a year before the autumn, which was not enough at all.
Especially if you don't buy good seeds, it will delay the autumn harvest...
In the afternoon, the men found a suitable place and began to dig a pit to make latrines.
The children are naughty, running before and after helping to move stones, in fact, they just follow the trouble, and they don't help.
The tools were not up to the task, and when it was dark, only a small half of the latrine was dug.
After a tiring day, everyone went to bed early.
Jiayin was still protected by her family on the innermost side of the shack, and her body was tightly covered with a quilt, and then covered with a veil.
It was still in the afternoon, and Li Laosan took the time to find a thin rattan to tie for his niece.
The gauze cover is similar to the one on the dining table of later generations to prevent flies from falling.
It's just that people are protecting food, and here they are protecting the little doll of Jiayin, so that insects and snakes can get into the bed.
Jiayin endured dozing until the middle of the night, and when she heard that the family was indeed asleep, she sneaked into the space.
At night, she secretly fed the custard to her two brothers, who were already hungry by this time. Although Fang Cai didn't dare to come in, he boiled porridge in advance in the kitchen, and it was just right to drink at this time, neither hot nor cold.
To fill her stomach, she went to the back garden again, wanting to pick a few fruits and study how to grow fruit seedlings.
As a result, the space gave her a huge surprise.
In the extra black soil, a small sapling the thickness of a thumb was standing proudly.
Jiayin almost rushed forward, stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Miao, eager to kiss a few times.
She just threw a fruit pit casually, and for most of the day outside, the pit actually turned into a fruit seedling.
In this way, there is no need to wait until next year to plant fruit trees after the land is cleared!
To be on the safe side, she decided to wait another day, and went to the front yard to find some cabbage seeds and sprinkle them to do a double test...
When she got up early, the Li family quickly dressed and got up, fetched water and lit the fire, and saw Jiayin sleeping sweetly with the quilt, everyone was light, not wanting to disturb her sweet dreams.
It wasn't until breakfast was made that Jiayin was picked up, wiped his face with warm water, combed his braids, and then fed half a bowl of porridge.
Jia Yin was worried about the small experiment in the space, so he kept yawning, looking like he still wanted to sleep.
Tao Hongying was worried, so she asked a few words when Doctor Zhang came to check the old lady's pulse.
Doctor Zhang examined the back of Jiayin's head and reassured everyone.
"It's okay, this girl is going to be so neat. If you want to sleep, you can sleep, and the children will sleep more and grow taller. ”
The family was relieved, and saw that Jiayin slept quietly, and even Mrs. Li went to the toilet to watch the excitement.
Jiayin quickly burrowed into the space again, and then jumped and screamed at the apple saplings that were half tall and a piece of new green cabbage.
This extra piece of land is really not an ordinary land, but the best nursery in the world.
With such a growth rate, it is so easy to cultivate hundreds of fruit seedlings!
