Chapter 29: Sowing

After the family finished eating the dumplings, they sat in the main house to rest.

Zhang Qiang handed a glass of red sorghum wine to Gao Dalong, and said politely: "Uncle, you can drink some wine and taste my mother's cold salad skills!" ”

On the kang table, there was a plate of vermicelli and pig ears, spinach mixed with cold vegetables, which looked bright and full of appetite, Gao Dalong took the wine handed over by Zhang Qiang, took a sip, and sent the cold dish with chopsticks to his mouth.

A pair of small eyes moved and said, "Well, not bad? The softness and hardness of this vermicelli are just right, and the pig ears are also very soft, suitable for our old things to eat, good! ”

Old man Zhang also drank a glass of wine, took a sip of cold dishes, and began to brag about Weiran's craftsmanship: "The craftsmanship of the third daughter-in-law of our family is getting better and better, just the old things we cross the mountains and tun, always go to the restaurant in the town to eat, and the chicken feathers blown back can go to the sky, I said, I went to the town restaurant to eat, and I want to run, and I have to spend money, what I eat at our house is no worse than what they eat in the restaurant, those old things still don't believe it, today, you taste, how is Zhang Qiang's mother's craftsmanship?" ”

Old man Zhang took advantage of the wine, and praised Wei Ran unclearly, Wei Ran sat on the bench on the side, and explained with a red face: "Uncle, don't listen to my father, I just cook a little home-cooked food casually, where is it so delicious as my father said, if I have that ability, then why don't you go to the town to open a museum?" ”

"It's delicious, it's really delicious, seeing that you are so filial to your in-laws, my uncle is relieved, you bet with your father-in-law, my uncle assures you that your father-in-law will definitely lose, you kid doesn't know your father's temperament, since your father promised to give you the five acres of land in Qianchuan, in fact, he admitted that he lost!"

Yes, the five acres of land in Qianchuan are all flat land, not to mention, but also enough fertilizer, it is a good soil quality for growing crops, and then look at the land on the mountains, many years of wasteland, not only can not be watered, but also the soil quality is not good, not to mention the long wheat, is to plant a little bit of the most drought-resistant wild alfalfa, or not grow.

Old man Zhang did this in order to stimulate his daughter-in-law's self-motivation, and his heart suddenly lit up: "Yes, I never thought that my father-in-law did this to inspire my confidence!" ”

At this time, the old man Zhang was already drunk, lying on the kang, talking about some sowing and the like, seeing his white hair and a pair of dry hands, Wei Ran's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

"Uncle, you have planted crops for so many years, what can be planted on those fields on this mountain, I want to plant them at one time, my in-laws are also old, I don't want them to worry about this family matter!"

At this sentence, Mrs. Zhang's eyes also turned red: "As long as you live a good life, your father and I can still do it, and if you can help it, those fields on the mountains are better to plant garlic!" ”

Gao Dalong said: "Sister, it is very troublesome to plant garlic, you have to plant it from the beginning, then weed, moss to dig, it takes manpower, and you, except for Zhang Qiang's mother and Zhang Hua, who else, in case Lanhua has a child, do you still need a person to serve the moon mother-in-law at home?" I think it's better to plant alfalfa, this thing is for feeding livestock, don't worry about planting, there are livestock at home that can be cut to feed the livestock, and the rest can be dried, and it is also a good fertilizer for the livestock to eat in winter? ”

In the house, there was a sound of an alarm clock ticking, Wei Ran looked at the alarm clock on the wall and said: "My uncle is right, if you plant garlic, the family will not have enough manpower, but if you plant alfalfa, it will be much easier, not to mention, don't we have three cows in our family?" If we can feed it until the beginning of spring, we will sell one! It also saves my dad from looking for weeds for the livestock everywhere, it's not early, let my uncle rest early, Mom, you and my dad also clean up and go to bed early! ”

After greeting for a while, Wei Ran closed the door of the main house and walked out, and Zhang Qiang followed.

"Mom, if we can't be busy planting wheat, then I'll take a few days off first, and I'll go out when all the food at home is planted!"

Wei Ran pondered for a while and said: "Your current monthly salary is 700 yuan, this 700 yuan, it doesn't seem to be much, but once it is gone, where will our family's expenses come from, right now, there are me and Zhang Hua at home, and your uncle will also come to help, so don't ask for leave, when it comes to harvesting wheat, it is necessary to ask for leave!" ”

Zhang Qiang nodded: "Okay, Mom, everything is up to Mom, that Zhang Qiang went back to sleep, Mom, you should rest early!" ”

Zhang Qiang, a child, must learn some crafts, so working for others is not a way after all, make do with it, make the situation at home a little better, and let Zhang Qiang quit this job and go to school in the town to learn to repair cars.

Wei Ran thought as she walked into her room.

Lying on this big kang, she squinted her eyes tiredly, since she came to this place, she rarely cared about her own situation, she opened the wardrobe, and found that the wardrobe was filled with some clothes of the original owner, the popular good and Dillon pants in this era, wide robes and big sleeves, I really don't like it, fortunately, she is fat now, these clothes can still hold up on her, and they are not too ugly.

She sat on a small wooden stool, glanced at herself in the mirror, and said, "Oh, I'm like this now, with a haircut hair, a big plate face, dark skin like the bottom of a pot, and a pair of rough hands, where is this the original Mrs. Kuo?" No, the days are important, but the maintenance can't be left behind, otherwise, even if the days are good, I have become an old scumbag, wouldn't it attract the eyes of others? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Ran decided that even if she was tired every day, she would get up on time and continue to lose weight with Zhang Hua, of course, when the grain in the field was planted, she would go to the town to do some small business, in this way, at least buy some cosmetics, she could still get it.

After some planning, he fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.

Zhang Qiang returned to his house, glanced at his daughter-in-law's big belly, and said with some concern: "By the way, isn't it almost time, you have to count the time, don't let people be busy at that time, Mom is already very tired during this time to exchange wheat seeds and sow grain." ”

Orchid folded her fingers and counted: "Well, it should be these days!" If there is a situation, I must tell my mother earlier, so don't worry about it! ”

Zhang Qiang tugged on the orchid's quilt and turned off the light: "Okay, go to bed early!" ”
