Chen Miao knew that he was afraid that his future food would be cut off. I persuaded him several times, but he said that he would not eat anything.

"Third sister, I'll pick corn seeds with you in a while."

Chen Miao nodded, she didn't know how old she was or how old Chen Jiang was, so she could only ask casually. But it's such a big child, and his eyes are all work.

It was too dark in the room. I can only put the table in this yard and pick it.

"Third sister, when my father comes back, I will steal his tools and give you a few small benches."

"You can also be a carpenter?"

"A small bench will do."

"That afternoon, I'll go to the mountains to cut down trees, you come back and help me get a few wooden boxes, it doesn't need to be big, just tie it high, and I'll put it on the kang to raise cotton seedlings."

"Cotton seedlings are still used to breed?"

"The shopkeeper said that the seedlings grow well, and I still want the seedlings, I originally wanted to buy them, but the village chief said that he has a lot of them."

"Third sister, I'll get you some leek seeds at home, I left a lot this year."

"If my mother finds out, you won't be beaten?"

"It's okay, there are a lot of families, I can't show it."

"Chen Jiang still doesn't need it, I'll go to the village chief's house to ask for it, and I'll give them some food or other things to repay the favor after autumn."

"You don't even have green onions at home, so remember to get some seeds."

"I know."

I am ready to plant one acre of corn, that is, six or seven catties of seeds are enough, so the picks are particularly full.

As soon as the seeds were picked, Shen Wufu and two middle-aged men came over. She didn't know her, but Chen Jiang knew.

Chen Miao also called people.

"Chen Miao, the two brothers Wang Fu have a lot of soil embryos in their families, thinking that they will stop building houses this year, so I will discuss with them that the soil embryos will be used for you first. If it is not enough, borrow it from each household. ”

Chen Miao nodded and looked at Shen Wufu. "Fifth uncle, eldest brother, second brother, listen to me, this yard is fenced, I don't care about anything, how much does it cost?"

"Chen Miao, how big do you want to surround yourself? Is it a fenced place? ”

"Fifth uncle, I don't have anyone in the west, can you fence the west, I want to get a pigsty and a chicken coop."

"It's okay, no one cares about it now."

"You measure, the height is higher than the height of the eldest brother."

A few people circled around, and there was a three-meter fence behind them.

In the end, the three of them discussed, and Chen Miao went to pick seeds.

"According to what you said, it will cost at least three dollars, and there are too many soil embryos to use."

Chen Miao smiled bitterly in his heart, and thought for a while, "Okay, Shen Jianfeng left me three yuan, and I don't have anything to spend money on now, so I will fence the yard and trouble the eldest brother, second brother, and fifth uncle." ”

"It's okay, let's start working today, and I have to dig two shovels deep."

The three of them left, and it was about to be spring planted, so they had to hurry up.

There were only two siblings left in the courtyard. "Third sister, spend so much money?"

Chen Miao smiled bitterly, "If you don't spend it, you can't do it, I'm afraid of it alone, and I'm afraid that the little donkey will be lost." ”

"I'm going to buy three sheep when this yard is fenced in."

The seeds were all gathered up, and in a few moments someone came with a shovel.

Chen Miao followed behind Chen Jiang and called for someone. Looking at Wang Daqiao, the two brothers of Wang Erqiao also marked out the western position with white lime powder. Several people who came over had already started pulling branches and digging foundations.

Chen Jiang also worked with him.

"I'll go up to the hill and have a look." In the countryside, the defense of men and women is still very serious, and it is not embarrassing to stay at home and watch others work, or to cut down trees, there are too many shortages, so prepare slowly.

"Third sister, I'll just work with my eldest brother at home." Chen Jiang hurriedly said that it is not possible to leave no one at home, and he can find anything he lacks.

Chen Miao nodded and went up the mountain. If you choose a tree and only have an axe in your hand, you can only use brute force.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that one was brought down. I was already tired and didn't want to move, looking at the blisters in my palms and smiling bitterly, this was not enough. After a ten-minute break, I didn't want to do it anymore.

Pack your tools and go up the hill to have a look.

I have no money in my hand, and I feel very insecure. I thought to myself, maybe I had an unexpected gain.

Passing by the place where she cut the branches and then walking inside, she saw the rabbit and chased after her in surprise, she was already tired and her physical strength was not enough. Even under normal circumstances, it can't catch up.

Forget it, I don't have this foreign wealth, and there are a lot of trees here. Let's be pragmatic.

After cutting for an hour, I put it away and went back.

A rope was tied to the trunk of the tree and straddled over the shoulder, and it was dragged down the mountain. It's really tired, it's really tired. I haven't arrived home yet, and I saw Chen Jiang running over.

"Third sister, why did you come back so late?"

"It's too hard to cut down trees."

Chen Jiang helped pull it together. Chen Miao felt a lot more relaxed.

It was dark, and I couldn't see clearly, and when I got to the front, I realized that the foundation had been dug out today.

"It's fast."

"Third sister, I'm going back, I've already fed the donkey."

"You go home and say that you will come back for dinner, otherwise the sister-in-law and sister-in-law should say ugly things."

"Third sister, you can just plug in the door, I won't come."

"You don't have your food when you go home. I'm waiting for you. ”

Chen Jiang ran home, his father came back, and watched his fourth son come back, "You don't go home when it's dark?" ”

Chen Jiang didn't say anything. Secretly told the little brother to leave the door for himself and find a chance to slip away.

Chen Miao thought about it, Chen Jiang had worked for a day, he must be hungry, he had fed the little donkey, so he simply boiled sorghum rice porridge at the bottom of the pot and steamed the nest head on it.

There are still wild vegetables in it, and I don't know what to eat if I want to give Chen Jiang something delicious. After thinking about it, half of the cornmeal was left, and brown sugar was put in it, so I must like to eat sweet food.

When Chen Jiang came over, the pot was already boiling with steam,

"There's hot water, you wash it."

"Third sister, my father is back."

Chen Miao didn't say anything. Listening to Chen Jiang's words, it seems that he didn't come back because he got married.

When the meal was cooked, the two siblings sat down to eat. "It's sweet, you eat."

"Third sister, did you put brown sugar? I smell the sweetness of brown sugar. ”

"Well, you eat."

Chen Jiang ate wotou and drank porridge, thinking it was really delicious, or sweet and delicious.

Before I finished eating, I heard movement outside. The two sisters and brothers ran out, and it turned out that someone was pushing the soil embryo here. After talking to people, I came back and continued to eat. After sending Chen Jiang away, Chen Miao took a bath and soaked in the bath bucket, only to feel really tired, and his whole body hurt. sighed again, if there is no sister's supermarket warehouse, how can you live?

The next day was still the same, yesterday's leftover porridge was hot, and the nest head was booed. Give the little donkey or boiled cornmeal. But if you want to raise it well, you have to count on it for important work.

Someone outside was already working. Countrymen have never been afraid of hardship.

Chen Miao called people one by one, but there was nothing else to say. Others are also embarrassed to talk to a little daughter-in-law. Just after eating, Chen Jiang came in, followed by a man.
