137 planted sweet potatoes
Hurriedly returned to the house, Lin He was still very happy, hugged Li An and wanted to talk to him.
In her two lives combined, the child she raised by herself for the first time finally called her mother, which is very novel.
Li Changhui was happy with her, poured the sweet potato vine in the back basket under the eaves, and asked Li Yu to bring him a pair of scissors.
The sweet potato vine should be cut into relatively short branches, about half a foot in length, and the sweet potato planting is also simple, one by one, according to a certain interval, buried in the sweet potato ridge dug in advance.
However, after planting, a little water is watered, and the survival rate of sweet potato vines is very high, and basically overnight, you can turn around.
When Li An was tired of shouting 'mother', Lin He was finally satisfied, put the child to Li Changhui aside, and asked Li Yu again.
"Where did you two run away just now, didn't you let you look at your brother? I almost fell to the ground again. ”
In front of their house, there is a very large yard dam covered with bluestone slabs, which is specially used to dry grain during the autumn harvest, which is very convenient.
A little next to the dam is the vegetable garden, one side is their house, and the other side is next to Aunt Zhang's vegetable garden next door, and this ridge is a little high, about two or three feet high.
Although there are no stones underneath, just dirt and vegetables, it is quite tall for the little ones.
Last time, the little guy accidentally fell, and although he was not injured, he was also so frightened that he screamed and cried for a while.
Li Yu and Li Hao thought that their mother had forgotten about it, and was still secretly happy, who knew that before she was happy, she was picked up and slipped out.
I couldn't hide, so I could only confess honestly: "Just now Shi asked us to go and see the monkey he caught, so we went to his house." ”
This year, they have been with their father and mother all day, and they have moved to a place far away from the village, and they have forgotten that they can catch the monkey now, and they only remembered it when the stone called them just now.
"Got the monkey?" Lin He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered: "What you said is knowing, have you learned recently?" ”
I know that it can be eaten, especially when it has not yet grown into an adult, the kind of appearance that has just been dug out of the ground, it is said that that thing is a big supplement, and it is quite expensive.
Recalling what he had seen before, Lin He shuddered and asked, "Do you like to eat?" ”
"I like it!"
Li Yu and Li Hao spoke in unison, their voices were loud, and it was obvious that they really liked it.
Even Li Changhui next to him rarely interjected: "After knowing that the monkey is fried, sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper, it is very fragrant, and it is still a big supplement." ”
Lin He looked sideways: "You also like to eat." ”
She resolutely didn't dare to try it, insects or something, she was scared to death just thinking about it.
"It's okay, but you can't eat too much, eat a few at most a day, it's not good to eat too much to make up for it, but you can take it to the town to sell, and the price is not cheap."
Li Changhui's hands kept moving, and he explained clearly.
Lin He understood: "Okay, if you want to play, go and catch it in the afternoon, and I'll do it for you in the evening." ”
Although I dare not eat it, it should be no problem to make it, just like fried peanuts.
"Okay, thank you!"
The brothers cheered in unison again, and then rubbed to Li Changhui's side: "Dad, have you ever eaten fried?" We all roasted it over a fire, and we never fried it. ”
Oil is expensive, except for restaurants outside and rich families, few people are willing to fry in oil, right?
"I've eaten fried food outside before, and the fire-grilled food is not as delicious as the fried one."
Li Changhui explained, and said, "Okay, don't stand in the way here, go and help your mother light the fire." ”
"Oh, okay."
Li Yu hurriedly entered the kitchen, while Li Hao watched his younger brother from the side.
I left my brother and ran away just now, and I was already being preached by a girl, so I didn't dare to be careless this time.
Although there is no shortage of money at home, there is no big fish and meat to eat every day, except for eggs, which are available to everyone every day, and meat is only bought every few days.
Even so, it was still a luxury in the village, and even the eldest aunt reminded them to save a little.
However, Lin He felt that when she and the three brothers were growing up, Li Changhui worked hard every day, and he still couldn't be too economical in eating.
Recently, Li Changhui has rarely gone to the mountains to hunt, and at most he uses a slingshot to catch a few live pheasants and hares.
After a simple lunch, Ang Lee, who has been ten months old, can now eat similar meals as them, but they just have to eat a little softer and lighter.
After eating, it was hot, but the brick house was warm in winter and cool in summer, and after eating, I went to the next room to take a nap, and it was even a little cold, so I needed to cover my stomach with a thin quilt.
Li Yu and Li Hao also made an appointment with their friends, and after taking a nap, they asked them to go to the mountains to catch monkeys together.
When Lin He heard it, he didn't care, but when they set off, he told them to be careful on the road and not to go to dangerous places.
However, Li Yu and Li Hao have been practicing martial arts with Li Changhui during this time, and the most practiced is Zama step, in Li Changhui's words, the next game is unstable, and everything practiced is in vain.
The brothers are now much stronger and their personalities are much more stable, especially with Li Yu watching, they don't have to worry too much.
Lin He wore a straw hat, hugged Li An, and went to the field with Li Changhui.
She has recovered well recently, don't look at Ang Lee, who has grown a lot more, but she is not as tired as before when she holds it.
The sweet potato ridge is in the gap between the corn field and the sorghum field, and the corn sorghum has grown very tall at this time, to the height of a person's waist, and planting sweet potatoes at this time will not affect each other.
What's more, sweet potatoes are crops that climb vines on the ground.
The sweet potato vine fell to the ground, took two handfuls of baskets, one person loaded some, Li Changhui took a long strap and carried Li An on his back, and then the two began to work.
Li An can already crawl everywhere, but he doesn't dare to put him on the ground, accidentally spoiling the crops is a small matter, in case he is bitten by some snake or centipede, then there is no chance to regret it.
Even though this is unlikely, they still dare not take risks.
In the past, it was natural to let Li Yu and Li Hao look at their younger brother, didn't they go to the mountains today to catch it.
Fortunately, Li Changhui has great strength, carrying a Li An on his back, and his work is not restricted at all.
But after a while, Xiuling led two three or four-year-old children over.
"Brother Changhui, sister-in-law, give me An'er, I'm fine anyway, I'll come and see, you can work faster."
The two children she led were the children of two brothers and sisters-in-law.
She is pregnant now, and she is not too tired when she is busy with farming, just watching the two little ones at home, and then doing light work such as cooking and sweeping the floor.
This is the highest level of treatment for pregnant women, even in the entire Xiang'an Village, after all, there are many people with big bellies, but they also have to work in the fields, digging the ground and picking up dung.
"Are you tired, what about these children, can you see it?"
"It's okay, the two big ones are obedient, and An'er is not naughty, not to mention that it's stuffy outside, I'll take him back to rest first, and when you're done, I'll take him home again."
Planting sweet potatoes is much easier than planting seedlings, so they don't have to find someone, and if they prepare in advance, they can do it in two days at most.
However, Lin He didn't dare to let Xiuling hug Li An, after all, it was so far away, so he simply took it to his uncle's house, let Li An play on the ground, and Xiuling helped watch it.
It's better than being tied to Daddy's back, but it's still more comfortable and free, isn't it?
