Chapter 120: Strangers
"Okay, let's pick more." Shen Yunxi said, pulled a sweet potato leaf, and put it in his mouth. "Sister-in-law, it tastes good, it's not bitter."
The two came back with a large pile of sweet potato seedlings, and the land in their yard had been tidied into vegetable beds.
Tian Daniu dug a hole with a small shovel. Shen Yunxi carried a bucket to pour it. Tian Junling took a sweet potato seedling and planted it. Tian Qiaoling buried the soil behind.
Zheng Guizhen is responsible for carrying water from the creek, and everyone works closely and efficiently.
In one afternoon, two and a half acres of sweet potato fields were planted.
It's tiring to fetch water back and forth. Shen Yunxi and her sister-in-law took turns to replace. It's very hard.
Shen Yunxi sat on the ground and said breathlessly, "Sister-in-law, although the creek is not far from us, it is a little tiring to carry water back and forth. When I have time, I think we should ask someone to dig a well in our house. ”
Zheng Guizhen smiled: "The well water is very good, but now everyone is busy making bricks, and there is no time at all." Let's wait until everyone is free. It's not that there is no water. The creek is just outside the door. ”
"Sister-in-law is right." Shen Yunxi agreed, and wanted to make cold dishes with hot water for the remaining half basket of sweet potato seedlings.
Yang Dacui saw that Shen Yunxi and Zheng Guizhen's family had been planting in these two fields with their children for a few days, so he waved his hand to Shen Yunxi.
Yang Dacui opened up three and a half acres of land in front of his house and wanted to plant something.
Although Shen Yunxi wants to taste sweet potato seedlings as cold dishes, she believes that she can promote the early planting of sweet potatoes, so that more people can eat and clothe themselves early. He nodded, "Okay, auntie." Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the field to pick some more. ”
At this time, Tian Tiezhuan made mud bricks for a day. When he came back from outside, he saw that the wasteland opened up by Shen Yunxi had already been planted. He asked, "Sister-in-law, is this seedling still with you?" If you have, give me some. The wasteland I carved out on the hillside is still empty!"
"Yes, tomorrow morning, you and Aunt Dacui will go to my field and pick them yourself. They will grow luxuriantly. Shen Yunxi promised: "Cuttings can live." Anyone who wants sweet potato sprouts can tell me. Sweet potatoes not only grow fruit in the ground, rabbits and wild boars can eat sweet potato leaves, but people can also eat sweet potato leaves. When they grow more, we don't need to look around for wild vegetables and eat sweet potato leaves. ”
"That's good. In a word, sister-in-law. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. If there is any heavy work at home, don't hold on, sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Call me, and I'll come to help right away. Tian Tiezhuan smiled faintly, wanting to repay Shen Yunxi's kindness.
"Okay!" Shen Yunxi replied with a smile.
Shen Yunxi and Zheng Guizhen continued to sit on the ground, looking at the sweet potatoes that had just been planted, "Fourth brother and sister, can you have a good harvest this year?"
Shen Yunxi nodded without hesitation: "It's possible!" God will be worthy of hard-working people. We have worked so hard to open up the wasteland and farm, and we will definitely have good results. ”
Zheng Guizhen smiled when she heard this. She may have taken this as a consolation on her way out of the famine. After experiencing many dangers, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster, making Zheng Guizhen realize that there may really be a god.
Zheng Guizhen turned her head to look at Shen Yunxi. "Sister-in-law, do you want a fourth brother?"
Shen Yunxi listened, was slightly stunned, and shook his head without hesitation, "What do you want him to do?" Couldn't help at all. ”
Shen Yunxi's words sounded like he was complaining, but in fact he was.
She is not the original owner, she doesn't know Tian Youqing at all, let alone miss him.
To her, Tian Youqing was a stranger.
