Ming Dai bent her eyes and replied with a smile: "Yes, put it in a basket full of soil, as long as you control the temperature and humidity, you can grow it, I'll try it first, if you can, I'll teach you." ”

Aunt Huang was amazed: "It's the first time I've heard of it, if only it could be grown, we don't have to eat cabbage in winter." ”

After saying that, she beckoned Ming Dai and herself to go to the cellar to have a look.

Ming Dai glanced at Zhou Sinian by the stable, and seemed to be having a good time with Liu Laifa, so she followed with confidence.

Liu Laifa trembled and put hay in his hands, didn't dare to stop, and roared in his heart: Mother! Help me!

It's a pity that Aunt Huang was taking Ming Dai to visit her cellar with great interest, and she didn't notice that her youngest son was about to go crazy.

Zhou Sinian was happily putting the hay that Liu Lai had made into the stable, he put a handful, he put a handful, and cooperated tacitly.

The horse was also stared at by him to eat grass, as soon as he stopped chewing, Zhou Sinian glared at it, so frightened that its teeth clicked and kept rubbing.

Zhou Sinian looked at the diligent man and horse, and smiled with satisfaction.

Coming down to the cellar, Aunt Huang lit the oil lamp, and Ming Dai looked at the dishes in the cellar of Mandengden and opened her mouth wide.

Aunt Huang proudly pointed to the same dish code as Xiaoshan: "Girl Xiaoming, look at what you like to eat, and my aunt will decorate it for you." ”

Ming Dai gave a thumbs up to Aunt Huang: "You really know how to live, when will you finish eating so many dishes!" ”

Aunt Huang smiled when she was praised: "These have to be eaten until the beginning of spring, and we will have fresh vegetables to eat in this spring, and we have to rely on these vegetables to survive in winter and first spring." Don't look at the number of now, we also have a lot of family members, and we have to send some to our mothers in the mountains, they have little land, there is not enough food to eat, and there are no vegetables, so this point, that point is gone.

It's not that I'm boasting, other families don't have as many vegetables as my family, in order to grow these, I cut up the backyard and planted it.

Fortunately, there are no chickens at home, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to keep them, and they would have died a long time ago. ”

Ming Dai was about to ask this: "Auntie, I've always wanted to ask, why don't we raise pigs here, there are chickens, it doesn't seem to be many, and your family doesn't raise them." ”

Aunt Huang sighed while pulling leek roots for her: "If you came a few years ago, you can also see it, before we were all raising chickens and pigs, as long as the family does not exceed five chickens, pigs can be raised here, we are loose here, the family has a large population, and a capable family can raise two or three, and sell a task pig before the year."

At that time, there was a pig farm in our village, raising 23 pigs of all sizes, and I was responsible for cooking pig food at that time.

It's a pity that the commune broke out with swine fever, and even the pigs in the surrounding villages were infected. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Huang's voice choked up: "At the beginning, two heads died, diarrhea, and I couldn't stop pulling, and the county veterinarian station was busy and couldn't call people at all, and your uncle and I used a carriage to pull pigs to the county to see a doctor, and another one died on the road, and when I arrived at the county veterinary station, I learned that the pigs in several nearby communes were suffering from swine fever, and they couldn't be cured at all."

The veterinarian told us to pull it back, hurry up and isolate, and leave a few heads.

It's a pity that it's too late, and we all die in the end, but it hurts our hearts!

The sick pig was taken away and landfilled by someone from the county, saying that the sick pig could not be eaten, and that if it was eaten, it would kill people, and it would hurt people, and it was all meat! ”

Ming Dai nodded: "It's really not edible." ”

Aunt Huang sighed: "We are distressed, these pigs were raised on credit by the brigade and the commune, the pigs are dead, the account is still there, and your captain's uncle's hair is a lot grayer."

Fortunately, in the past two years, some have been paid one after another, and the commune also understands that our village now has to participate in the task of repairing the reservoir every year, but the village has less money, and our life is tight. ”

"As for the chickens, it is also because the chickens are not old or young after the swine fever, everyone is afraid that they will not be able to feed and waste food, so they will raise less, and my family is afraid that your uncle will see the chickens and think of the pigs will be uncomfortable, so he will not raise them."

After listening to this, Ming Dai understood why this place was poorer than she imagined, it turned out that there were still foreign debts in the village.

Aunt Huang pulled out a basket of leek roots and wrapped them all in straw to avoid freezing them.

"So, everyone in the countryside wants to go to the city, and whoever has a relative in the city can be three points higher in status.

Why?

It's because people have iron rice bowls, so they don't have to look at the sky to eat.

The little daughter of the old Qing woman at the back of the village married to the county seat, not to mention, but also found a job as a temporary worker for her eldest grandson, and the little girls from all over the country were willing to look at him, that is, they liked him to have a job in the county, even if it was a temporary worker, it was better than the man who earned a full centimeter in the village. ”

Ming Dai nodded: "It's the same in the city, it's better to have a job than not to have a job." ”

"We don't want to be like this, I don't know a single big character, people in the city are said to have exams, and so on next year to send Tie Dan to the commune primary school for two years, see if we can have the opportunity to find him a job in the city in the future, we also changed the courtyard, your uncle in the province said that I gave him three mallets, none of them are used, hahaha."

Ming Dai looked at Aunt Huang who was laughing and felt that she was really optimistic.

She has always been close to such people, like a little sun, and especially hates self-pity and moaning without illness.

"Iron Egg and Dog Egg are very smart, and it is no problem to go to school."

Aunt Huang pulled the potatoes into the sack and said with a smile: "Haha, I hope, don't be like their father, you can't beat a fart with a stick, it's very meaty." ”

The two chatted and picked up vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, camellia gnocchi and old pumpkin, plus some dried vegetables, large and small and two sacks, Zhou Sinian carried it not too heavy, dirty, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes were all muddy.

Ming Dai thanked her again and again, and finally walked out of the captain's small courtyard after being stuffed with a big winter melon.

When they were gone, Ryu Lai breathed a sigh of relief and shook off his sore hands, and was stared at by the madman, and his entire back was wet.

Ma: Finally gone, almost kill the horse!

Ming Dai patronized and chatted, not realizing that Zhou Sinian had done evil again.

Zhou Sinian expressed dissatisfaction with the sack on her shoulder with a cold face, she described all kinds of delicacies to coax him who was unhappy to carry the sack home, and when he passed by the Zhiqing Point, Chen Erhong and Fang Mingyang happened to come out to fetch water, looking at them carrying their shoulders and holding their hands, envious.

Ming Dai nodded her head and said hello, and ran after the long legs.

Chen Erhong stroked his hair and said in a low voice: "Ming Zhiqing and the captain's house are quite close." ”

When Fang Mingyang heard this, he gradually furrowed his brows.

I heard that in the Sanlishan Commune next door, there is a young man who has returned to the city, and the list is stamped by their captain.

When she got home, Ming Dai first took Zhou Sinian to sweep the snow on the roof.

After saying the request, Zhou Sinian jumped onto the wall with an arrow step, pulled out the long branches outside the courtyard wall, and stabbed it according to the eaves, and the snowflake waterfall fell from the eaves in an instant, smashing the unprepared Ming Dai below.

Ming Dai hurriedly jumped away from under the eaves, pointed at Zhou Sinian with an innocent face on the wall, and threatened: "If you make it bad again, you won't have to eat delicious food at noon!" ”

The last time Zhou Sinian put her on the locust tree, she found out that this guy had become bad and would play tricks on her, and she must have done it on purpose when she hit her with snow just now!

Thinking of the stupid roe deer meat in the space, Zhou Sinian suddenly learned to be obedient, and reminded in a deep voice: "You get up." ”

waited until Ming Dai hid in the house, and then continued to poke the snow on the roof, just covering the place where Ming Dai was standing just now.

Ming Dai: Hehe, sure enough, he knows that the snow can hit her, so you don't need to add licorice to boil the medicine at night, and you will die of bitterness!

Zhou Sinian was having fun playing in the snow, not realizing at all that he was going to drink bitter soup again at night.
