Chapter 161: Hatching Chicks
After listening to Ning Changrong's introduction, the Li family's eyes were all shining.
They didn't expect that even children could earn work, what is this work? That's silver here!
Several people nodded their heads again and again, and they were all very happy.
"Now my grandmother needs a few people to follow her to plant rice, do you want to go to the aunts?"
"I'll go!" Li Dajiang's daughter-in-law was the first to raise her hand.
"We'll go too!" Several other concubines spoke.
Ning Qingxi nodded and wrote down the names of several people.
Several other men of the Li family all followed Ning Changrong to work on the construction site, and the children were led by Ning Qingxi to Ning Daguang, that is, Ning Daniu's eldest son, and let Ning Daguang take this group of children to work together.
Li's house was empty all of a sudden, leaving Li's mother to take care of Li's father.
Mother Li didn't feel empty, she had hope in her heart, if she didn't have to take care of the old man, she wanted to go to work together.
To tell the truth, now that the city is under construction, Ning Changrong has used children as adults, women as men, and men as animals.
But none of the Li family felt tired and enjoyed themselves.
"Oh, Dajiang, you have enough strength! It's almost time to catch up with the big bulls! ”
Ning Husheng looked at Li Dajiang alone, he could push a cart of spiky cement, and couldn't help but marvel, other people pushed the flat cement, all of which were difficult, but the other party was walking on the ground.
"Hehe, our family has a lot of strength." Evergreen said that more work is more, even Evergreen's own younger brother is like this, then they can do more work and earn more work.
At present, they even borrow a house, and Li Dajiang has a sense of crisis in his heart.
The addition of the Li family has indeed accelerated the progress of some projects, and the brothers of the Li family are all infinitely powerful.
Ning Changrong's family has maintained absolute fairness, in terms of work, even his two younger brothers must be exactly the same as everyone else, and they will never release water.
This also convinced others that they knew that the Li family was Wang Xiujuan's in-laws, and the others did not chase after them, but just mentioned them more in terms of their identities, and their acceptance was relatively high, so that the Li family could integrate into the team faster.
Several women of the Li family were not idle, and they were surrounding the paddy fields at this time.
Some were responsible for loosening the soil, others were responsible for digging canals to bring water from the creek.
How much water is needed to grow rice for irrigation, Wang Xiujuan chose the location of the paddy field not far from the creek.
Wang Xiujuan ordered the work to go down, to see that there was no problem with what they were doing, and took another group of people to prepare the seedlings.
I was busy until noon, when I heard the sound of Ning Qingxi striking a small gong before announcing the end of work.
"Aunt Wang, then we'll go back first."
Wang Xiujuan waved her hand, "Go back, have a good rest, and come back to work in the afternoon when you hear the sound of the gong." ”
Ning Qingxi took Wang Xiujuan's arm on her shoulder, "Milk, what do the third aunts eat at home?" Do you want to advance their food to them first? ”
Wang Xiujuan carried a small box on her left hand, in which a lot of fresh wild vegetables were placed, all of which they saw when they turned over the soil, and everyone packed some and went home.
"It's okay, your father has already asked people to move the food for two days. Yesterday, people also moved most of the day's grain, and they can't let people do it in vain. ”
The two walked to the door of the house, Wang Xiujuan rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to make a cold salad of wild vegetables, as well as the rabbit bone broth that was picked down yesterday, plus a spicy fried rabbit meat, which was their lunch at noon.
Ning Qingxi helped wash the rice and cook the rice.
"Milk, when I was beating the gong and drum just now, I looked at the rabbit shed by the way, and it seems that I have given birth to another litter."
Wang Xiujuan said while busy: "This rabbit is quite worry-free, we are in the mountains, there is no shortage of grass, if we raise a few more chickens and some ducks, then we will not lack meat." ”
Ning Qingxi nodded, "The greenhouse I made for incubating eggs has been put into use, and I will know if it will be successful in a week, if it is really hatched, then we can raise chickens by ourselves, and I don't have to covet those eggs anymore!" "Ning Qingxi used to only love egg whites, not egg yolks, but now she loves everything!
While the grandparents and grandchildren were chattering, Ning Changrong came back from outside with a body of mud.
When I walked to my yard, I patted the ashes on my body first, washed up briefly, and then walked to the kitchen to help.
In less than half an hour, a simple lunch was ready.
……
"Dad, mother, we're back." Li Dajiang's daughter-in-law's loud voice sounded.
"Old man, Dajiang's daughter-in-law is back." Mother Li's eyes lit up, and she put down the water bowl that fed Li's father water.
These bowls, chopsticks, tableware, and the guys used for cooking were all sent by Ning Changrong along with the food.
Otherwise, even if the family has food, there is nowhere to cook.
"Ah, aren't you going to work? Why are there wild vegetables? ”
Mother Li looked at the wild vegetables in the hands of several people with a surprised expression.
"This is what Aunt Wang picked up by the way when she took us to loosen the soil."
Mother Li's heart was soft, "Okay, you can work hard in the future, and you are not allowed to be lazy, you see." She pointed to some pots and pans piled up in the corner of the house, "These are all sent by Evergreen, so I'm worried that we won't have anything to use." There is also the grain, saying that it is the reward for Dajiang and a few of them to help carry the food. We don't have to worry about these two days. ”
"That's great, I'm still worried about what we're going to eat at noon, and this wild vegetable will be able to mix and be full." You can't rub your sister-in-law's house every day, right?
"Mother! We're back. ”
Li Dajiang: The place where they worked was farther away, and they came back later.
Mother Li opened her mouth and said, "Da Jiang, you take the second and third children to the mountains to find some firewood and come back." ”
"Fourth, a few of you come over to build a stove."
For such a small matter as setting up a stove, the Li family has so many men, so Ning Changrong didn't worry too much, and only gave a few inexpensive daily necessities.
The kiln in Ningqingxi burned a lot of pots and pans, and these tableware were really not valuable things.
After Li's father fainted, he woke up again and found that there were only two members of the family: him and his old wife.
After knowing that several sons and daughters-in-law and even grandchildren had gone out to work, his heart finally let go.
I hope that my legs and feet will be better soon, and I can earn more work for my family.
"Milk, we went to mow the grass and feed the rabbits with Brother Daguang today, Brother Daguang said that he would take us to pick up firewood in the afternoon to hatch chickens, and we will be able to earn three centimeters by then!"
Mother Li looked at her little grandson happily and told her what she had done this morning, and several children talked upside down, and they didn't make it clear what the relationship between picking up firewood and hatching chicks was.
When General Li came back with the two brothers after chopping firewood, the stove at home was also built.
With the pot that Ning Changrong sent him, he boiled a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, and the family ate happily, full of hope for the future life.
