Chapter 101: Long Hours Required
Xiao Jinghuan felt that his mother loved him, but not much.
See that everyone else is a beautiful shell bracelet and necklace. Just him, what pepper seeds are there......
He felt that his mother should want to train him to become a talent, starting from the very basics.
After asking his mother how to plant, he slept with the seeds in his hands and tried to plant them the next day.
Since Tang Zangyue went to the Western Regions, she bought as many chili peppers as she could. It's just that the Western Regions don't care much about peppers, even if a certain family has them, it is also a product of wild growth, and the amount is not much, but it is enough for her to raise seedlings and sow seeds in January and February of next year.
I gave Xiao Jinghuan that little seed, I wanted to try it and see if it could be planted this month.
At the end of September, winter began to fall in the north, and the border passes were particularly cold, and the soldiers were stationed in shifts repeatedly, using the money left over after sending them home to buy some things to keep out the cold.
Tang Zangyue also slept on the kang for the first time in the north.
The south was relatively humid, and when there were no major electrical appliances in the sixties and seventies, most of them used military kettles to warm up the bed. Tang Zangyue came from that era.
The kang in the north is so hot that you can get into it by pulling the futon open, and it doesn't take time to get used to it.
Tang Zangyue was still very sleepy, and in addition, she burned homemade incense before going to the kang, and her eyelids were dozing off at this time.
I also have to listen to Xiao Wu Xiao Yuenong talking about the changes in the family on the side: "Mother, that Meng Mei's hands and feet are not very good, but she can speak well, and she can solicit customers better than me." After she came, I was much more relaxed and only responsible for reconciliation. Yuechun is in charge of the troublemakers, and my aunt is in charge of the board, and we have our own duties.
As for the eldest brother and the second elder brother who helped the shopkeeper Chu finish collecting the grain, he saw that the backyard began to raise chickens and duck seedlings, and the two breeding pigs also entered the circle, so he dug a cellar next to the kitchen, and the entrance was in the kitchen, so there was no need to worry about someone climbing over the wall yard at night and emptying the cellar.
The second brother also said that the deeper the cellar is dug and the lower the temperature, it is easy to store things in summer......"
Tang Zangyue coped with it.
"Also, I vaguely heard from the village a few days ago that in previous years, when sowing seeds, Uncle Zhao's family unloaded the frame of the ox cart and let the old cattle go to the field to plow, but this year, in order to keep up with our business, Uncle Zhao let the family work hard to go to the field. I thought, this time mother, you come back, is it time to do the braised cooking business? When the business grows bigger, do you have to buy an ox cart or a donkey cart at home? ”
Tang Zangyue coped with it again, and in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
Xiao Yuenong felt that something was wrong when she was talking, and it was not until she heard her mother's heavy breathing that she was patted on the shoulder by Xiao Yuechun.
"Hurry up and sleep, tomorrow I will see the old lady's arrangement."
Xiao Yuenong hummed, put it on Tang Zangyue's shoulder, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.
Who said that only Sister Ling misses her mother? She thought too, okay.
While she had to tell her mother about the changes and matters in the family, she had to sleep on the kang next to her mother.
She's such a clever little ghost.
Following.
Tang Zangyue's exhaustion was swept away, and she was full of energy and radiant.
She had eaten her morning food, and first walked in the cellar dug by her two brothers.
Not to mention, the cellar is not small. However, it is according to the specifications of the soybean sauce jar, and after the jar is full, there is probably only a drawer of buns left over from last night.
The cellar floor was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the temperature was low enough......
Tang Zangyue pondered for a moment and made a judgment.
No sooner had she arrived in the kitchen than she heard a knock on the door from the front yard.
Xiao Zhonglu went to open the door.
The two brothers in the family stayed at home for a few days, waiting for her to come back to arrange tasks and take care of their bodies by the way.
Aunt Liu and the others went to the town to do business, while the children read in the room, which was the medical book she left before leaving.
He is the head of the village who represents the whole village.
He came to visit Tang Zangyue with his things.
The family produced an egg, and if there were no eggs, they picked garlic sprouts from the ground or something and sent them over.
Tang Zangyue's eyes motioned for Xiao Zhongli to take it, and the village chief smiled and said, "Our village has been waiting for the old lady to come back." The old lady's body is well raised? ”
Tang Zangyue weakly let Xiao Zhonglu hold it, and said, "It's still a little weak, but it doesn't affect others." It's just that you have to recuperate once a year at this time. ”
The village chief was convinced that she was sleepy and that it was a sign that she had not recovered.
The other two froze, looked at each other, and got an affirmative idea.
Recuperation at this time of year = grandmother disappears for a month.
Lose sleep over something.
Very worried.
Tang Zangyue: "But this time the cultivation is almost complete, as long as the big guys in the village are not sick or something, I will not limit the number of people who see a doctor every day." Just ......"
There is no limit to the number of people you can see!
The village chief knew that this time he had gained something!
The village chief followed her words and said, "Just? ”
As long as it benefits the whole village, it is to pick the stars and the moon, and he will come to him!
Tang Zangyue smiled: "It's not a big deal. It's just that in the coming year, our Xiao family is going to plant some crops and needs to buy some fields in the village. I don't know how many acres the village chief is optimistic about? ”
"How many acres do you need to buy?"
Tang Zangyue glanced at the seeds of the Western Regions in the space and said, "At least ten acres." ”
There are several types of fields in Jiuli Village, such as high-grade fields, medium-class fields, and low-class fields. A good field is a fertile field, which is fertilized with manure and can grow any crop, except, of course, the weather and geography affect the growth of crops. Inferior fields are dry fields, which are not only difficult to cultivate, but also require more manure and water in the first few years. Medium fields are somewhere in between, with fertile fields, but the maturity and probability of planting are not comparable to those of good fields.
Considering the image of the family to the outside world, Tang Zangyue only bought three acres of fertile land and nine acres of medium land.
The fertile land is not in a hurry to plant, but the medium field needs to be taken care of in the past few months.
She was reluctant to let her brother do such a tiring job.
Bending over a lot hurts my back too much. Even if she is a doctor and can take care of her, she will still be affected when she is old.
So he asked the head of the village, who was pleasantly surprised: "You want to hire a long-term worker?!" ”
Most of the strong laborers in the village go to the town to find short-term jobs.
But the town is such a big piece of land, where can there be so much work to allocate? Many of the strong laborers who did not have relatives in the town returned in vain, and they could not be idle at home, so they went to the back mountain to chop firewood, and they were bound to fill the house with firewood and spend a good year.
Tang Zangyue needs to work for a long time, but doesn't it solve the problem of strong labor at home?
The village chief can't wait to run away and go back to tell the village the good news!
But was stopped by Tang Zangyue.
"Village chief, don't worry, listen to what I have to say."
"Okay, old lady, you say."
"I have the condition to work for a long time, and I will be sent all year round, which means that I can only take care of my family's field first in my own field and with me. Otherwise...... I'm not a good person, and I can't afford to be consumed like this, even if I'm from the same village. This has to be explained before doing so. ”
"It's nature, it's nature." The village chief didn't expect Tang Zangyue to blindly pay to the end.
When the other party said that he needed to work long hours with people from the same village, in order to avoid his own fields being affected, he first thought of finding the kind of poor family that did not lack strong labor. One family will never affect their own farming.
