16 days

It's already dark when you go down. In fact, she is really not afraid now, she was afraid even if she drove at night in her previous life. It's bold to get here.

The little donkey watched his master come over and barked. No matter how tired you are, you still have to serve it, and you will be the main force in the future.

When I got up in the morning, I heard a knock on the door, "Third sister, there are people who are here to sell chickens." ”

Chen Miao hurriedly opened the door and saw a middle-aged man carrying a basket outside.

"Third sister, there are chickens and ducklings."

Chen Miao is also very excited, she still has a donkey at home, and she wants to have more living creatures at home.

She forgot that she didn't have much money in her hands at all.

"How much does it cost?"

"A chicken has three copper coins, a duck too, and a goose five copper coins."

After hearing this, the smile on Chen Miao's face froze. You have to keep the whole money in your own hands. There were only ten copper plates, and Chen Jiang gave himself five, which was enough money to buy five. Not to mention wanting to buy a goose, it's a good housekeeper.

"Can you trade pine nuts for them?"

"You can change it, but you can only exchange one pound of pine nuts for three chickens."

"That's not good, you're too dark, my pine nuts are all peeled."

"You show it to me."

Chen Miao went into the house and took out a cloth bag. The inside is full of unshelled pine nuts peeled from the pine tower.

The man grabbed it and looked at it repeatedly. "A pound of pine nuts will give you four chickens at most."

"So you give me four chickens, four ducks, and four geese. I'll give you three pounds of pine nuts. ”

"That's not going to work, I'm going to lose."

"No way. I've been to sell pine nuts and know how much it is. There will be no loss at all. It's not easy for you, but it also makes you some money. ”

At this time, the aunt of the Tang family in the east also came over. Although it is said to be neighbors, there is a distance of more than ten meters from each other.

The merchant thought for a moment, "I'll give you five chickens, four ducks, and three geese." ”

Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, but you have to give me a good one, I want one male for the three kinds, and the rest have a female." ”

"Take your pick."

Where would Chen Miao do this? "Auntie, you help me choose, I don't know."

"Xiaofeng's family, I'm not very good at it, I'll call my mother-in-law. My family is going to buy a few too. ”

At this time, the merchant had already begun to weigh the pine nuts. Chen Miao stared at him closely, for fear of being fooled.

After a while, the old lady with a small foot came with a club.

"Big. Help me pick four hens, a rooster, three ducks, a male, and two geese to a male. ”

"Girl, how do you feed it when you buy so much?"

"Big milk, there will be wild vegetables or something in the future, and when I get older, I will sell them for money."

"That's a lot of food. Go in and get the basket. ”

Chen Miao carried the remaining pine nuts in, and when she came out, the old lady had already picked them again, and she didn't understand when she watched from the side.

Thinking that eating eggs can cross the road. You can also eat salted duck eggs, and goose eggs are a big supplement.

"This time the merchant's chicks are very good, the days are long, and they can be fed."

"My aunt is really good-looking, and I do business with my conscience."

Because no one cares about him, he brags about himself, and quickly picks out everything he wants for Chen Miao and puts it in the basket.

"Girl, raise it on the kang for a few days."

"Big I know." Chen Miao was happy. The days of self-sufficiency are really not far away.

Take it into the house, this time cover it with a rag mattress, how to raise the chickens, and hurriedly soak the cornmeal, thinking that it will be steamed when it is time to cook at noon, so that the chickens are easier to digest.

When I went out, I saw that the chicken seller followed the old lady away, Chen Jiang was already adding grass to the donkey, and she also hurried to light the fire.

"Third sister, I'll go back, and I'll follow my father to open up the wasteland in a while."

"Okay, let's go, come over at noon and have some more."

"It's okay, I'll be able to eat at home."

Inside and out, she packed up and walked around the fields, and now she was looking forward to the rain.

Tomorrow to plant sweet potatoes, you need a lot of water, there are a lot of buckets in the storeroom, and it is okay to fill them with water.

When I come back, I peel pine nuts at home if I have nothing to do, and I still have to have electricity money in my hand, otherwise I can't do anything.

The next day, when I went to the village chief's house, I had already brought all the sweet potato seedlings, and there were 300 of them.

"Fifth aunt, are you going to plant sweet potatoes too?"

"Yes, it's almost May, and it's time to plant."

Chen Miao directly carried the basket and the pickaxe up the mountain. Sweet potato seedlings are definitely not enough, and the rest of the place is simply planted with soybeans.

Because she has water, planting sweet potatoes is not a difficult task for her.

When you are full, you continue to grow soybeans. There was also a lot of water, and the sweet potatoes were watered again.

Her spring planting is over. A man began to tidy up in the yard.

The chickens, ducks and geese are still put together, and they want to make a pigsty, and they also want to make a livestock shed for the little donkey, which will not be so cold in winter, and the firewood house will have more firewood in winter.

In this way, a large number of soil embryos are required. I still think that I can rest, and it seems that I don't have that life.

I don't want to dig in the yard, and I don't want to use a mold to get rid of the soil embryo, I don't have this thing, and I have to borrow it, but you can go and mud first.

Go to the river to see, the soil embryo with sand is definitely not good, carry the pickaxe to lock the door and go out, and also go around the vicinity of the house, as if it is not suitable.

"Chen Miao, what are you doing?"

"Auntie, I'm done planting, I haven't sprouted yet, and there's nothing to do, I'm thinking about getting some soil embryos."

"Go to the north, there's a pit over there that is full of loess."

Chen Miao obediently went to the soil pit in the north, and it was still easy to find. There are already a lot of soil embryos here, and most of the soil embryos in the village are used for the walls of their own courtyards.

After thinking about it, I still don't want to be here, I can't use water, and I'm too tired to carry water and work by myself when the time comes. If there is a way to save it, who wants to be affected?

Carrying a big deal out of here, looking for a quieter place.

Wandered around the cemetery and hurried away, although he was not afraid to walk at night, but he was still in awe of the place of the dead.

I wandered around for a long time and couldn't find a suitable place. When I arrived at the west end of the village, I saw her father and Chen Jiang Chen Tong, that woman should be her mother, right? There was also a little girl plowing the field.

Chen Miao thought about it, since he had encountered it, he should go over and take a look.

She just called her father and mother, and followed Chen Jiang to pick up stones.

The family may be used to her like this, and no one feels abnormal.

There were a lot of small rocks in the soil. I have to pick them all out. Chen Miao followed for more than three hours, and it is estimated that it is already two o'clock now, and she is really tired, "Dad, I'll go back first." ”

"Hmm." That's it.

Chen Miao doesn't care, it's just that it's okay to catch up with him today, but he won't leave his own work for them to work, and he has no family affection for them. It's just that the parents who occupy the body are related by blood, and it is impossible to have that kind of real family affection.
