Chapter Seventy-Three: An Extra Rice Field in Space
Xu Wenli thought for a long time, pretended to be embarrassed and said: "You help me sweep the yard and stack firewood, I gave up a set of luggage for the sake of you saving me." ”
"Okay, thank you, I'll go and help you clean the yard in the afternoon!" Xiao Wenduo walked away with a set of luggage.
Finally found an excuse to be close to and grandchildren!
This time she took back fifteen sets of old bedding, in addition to the one Xiao Wenkai took, Xu Wenli also set aside two sets of paving, and the remaining twelve sets were sold for sixty yuan. Xu Wenli handed it over to Li Yu, but he refused to ask for anything.
wanted to keep him for a meal, but Li Yu said no, and called the driver to leave.
Then wait until the next time he comes to give money, take out a silk scarf as a gift.
Coupled with the money from the sale of the TV this time, there are more than 5,000 yuan in my hand, and only a small part of it is spent, and there are nearly 5,000 left.
In the afternoon, when the two children were playing in the yard, Xiao Wenduo came over to sweep the yard with a broom, and the two children who had been told in advance saw him and shouted in unison, "Grandpa Xiao!" ”
"Hello!" Xiao Wenduo first glanced at the little grandson who looked like a son, his eyes fell on Mu Qiaoqiao's face and he couldn't take his eyes off it, this child was a little like a daughter-in-law, and if she looked closely, she was more like her grandmother.
Xu Wenli took a basin of clothes and sat outside to wash them, looking for an opportunity to tell Xiao Wenduo that the things had been taken out and hidden, a total of forty-eight boxes.
"Why are you all back, Jianjun?"
"There was something wrong with his comrades-in-arms, so he went over to help, and he will be back in a few days."
The things were hidden, and the son, daughter-in-law, and children were all unscathed, and Xiao Wenduo was relieved.
Three days later, Li Yu came over to deliver the money and gave Xu Wenli twenty yuan of hard work.
"Brother Li often helps me, and he has sent so many things, if I even have to become someone with these twenty yuan, if you need help, you just say, I can find that sister-in-law to help buy it in three turns."
Li Yu bought some food for the child, and also brought a piece of meat, at least five catties of weight.
"Since my brother and sister said so, I won't be polite to you."
"This silk scarf is good, I bought two, and my sister-in-law and I have one."
The silk scarf is not cheap, Li Yu refused to accept it, Xu Wenli forced it to him: "A silk scarf is not worth much, I originally wanted to give my sister-in-law a watch, I was afraid that you would not accept it." ”
If it was a watch, it really couldn't be accepted, Li Yu teased the two children for a while and then took people away.
"Mom, this is the money given by Uncle Lee." Mu Qiaoqiao took out two big unity sheets from his pocket.
Mu Zhuangzhuang also took out two, Xu Wenli sighed, I wanted to use a silk scarf to repay the favor, but I didn't expect that the more I owed, the more I owed.
I can only find a way to pay it back later.
After another ten days, before returning to Mu Jianjun, the cotton seeds and pepper seeds that Xu Wenli cultivated in the space matured.
She has also improved rooting agents and soil activators, which are particularly effective on cash crops and vegetables.
There are enough raw materials in the space, Xu Wenli will make some rooting agents and soil activators every night, and a lot of vegetable seeds will be left, Xu Wenli will change some saplings and mushroom straines.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"
Xu Wenli, who was stacking the mushroom bag, heard the sound and the corners of her mouth rose, put down the things in her hand and opened the door.
"You can't be quiet, half the village can hear you calling your daughter-in-law!"
"What do I call my daughter-in-law about them?"
took his backpack and put it on the kang, Xu Wenli fetched water for him to wash his hands, and the two children were originally listening to the radio in the house, but when they heard the sound, they ran out and circled around Mu Jianjun.
"There are gifts from Commander Zhao to the two children in the backpack, and my sister-in-law also gave you a cashmere coat, I heard that there are more than 100 yuan!"
Mu Jianjun took out a khaki coat from his backpack, the style was simple, and he wore it in an atmospheric and dignified manner.
There are also a pair of women's leather shoes, which Mu Jianjun bought in the mall by himself, and spent more than 20 yuan, such a good dress can't match the cloth shoes he made!
The size of the leather shoes is just right, Xu Wenli sighed again that this man is so careful, she has never said the number of her shoes, and the purchase is not bad at all.
At the bottom of the pocket is a pair of knee pads and a hot water bottle, which looks like it should be given to the old man.
The backbone of the family is back, Xu Wenli took out four big bone sticks to stew sauerkraut, pasted cakes, this year Xu Wenli's backyard has planted bud rice soybeans, cabbage is bought in other people's houses in the village.
For two cents a catty, Xu Wenli bought six hundred catties, pickled two jars of sauerkraut, and moved one jar in the space.
Cut half a bowl of shredded meat and fried a mung bean sprout, and the family sat around to eat.
"Dad, will you sleep with me tonight? It's been a long time since I've slept with my dad! Mu Qiaoqiao's mouth pursed, her face full of grievances.
Mu Zhuangzhuang also wanted to sleep with his father, pursed his lips and stared at him all the time.
"I'm going to tell you a story until you two fall asleep, okay?"
Mu Qiaoqiao wanted to ask if it was bad for the family to sleep together? Why separate.
Glimpsing Xu Wenli tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, Mu Jianjun whispered: "When you two grow up, it's time to learn to sleep by yourself, I live with my mother, so you will have a younger brother or sister to know?" ”
"But you've been living with your mother for a long time, what about your younger siblings? Daddy lied. Mu Qiaoqiao's small mouth is high, and he feels that his father only likes his mother now, and he doesn't like her anymore.
Mu Jianjun scratched his daughter's little nose: "When did Dad lie to you, your younger brothers and sisters will definitely come, but can't you understand in a hurry?" ”
"When will that be?" Mu Zhuangzhuang also wanted to know when he would be able to become an older brother.
"Let's celebrate the New Year, Mom and Dad are trying to give you two a good-looking, smart and obedient brother or sister, so you can't rush, let's find it slowly!"
After cleaning up the kitchen, Xu Wenli entered the house and glared at him when she heard Mu Jianjun's words, I want to give birth to you yourself.
He couldn't give birth without his daughter-in-law's cooperation, Mu Jianjun took the two children to wash and tell them stories, Xu Wenli lay down and continued to be busy in the space, this time planting improved sorghum and sticky corn seeds.
"If only there was a rice field." Although it was unrealistic to eat rice in the 70s, it was possible to realize this wish in the 80s.
In the previous life, rice could also be grown in the north, but Xu Wenli had not seen a rice field near Shanggang Village.
Just when she was thinking about cultivating rice seeds, four more squares of black soil appeared on the edge of the space laboratory, forming a big "field" character.
There was a spring in the middle of the four fields, bubbling with water.
After she finished picking the beans and eggplants, and took care of the potted cherries and oranges, she checked the branches that could be grafted again, and turned around to see the surprise given by the space.
"Wow!" The space is so empathetic, Xu Wenli hurried to choose rice seeds, and she had to think of buying some rice seeds.
Fruit trees can be planted on the rice field stalks, and the land in the space must be fully utilized.
