"Grandpa, there are only three people in our family, and one acre of land is enough to feed us!" There is no rice transplanter, which is a negative comment.
"The seedlings have been raised, but you won't plant them if you don't want to plant them?" How could Grandpa You discuss this matter with his granddaughter? How can farmers do it if they don't grow food?
"Please help, please help. If you collapse from exhaustion, even the rice from several acres of land won't be enough to cover your medical expenses!"
You Yu shook her afro, as if he was telling her to go to the fields and kill her.
There's nothing you can do without inviting people. My uncle's family has been helping me for three days, so I can't ask others to help me plant rice, right?
Grandpa You found a family in the village and did the rice-planting work in four acres of land with a wallet of 100 yuan.
Compared with soybean oil, peanut oil, and blended oil on the market, people in Sichuan Province cannot do without rapeseed oil when cooking.
From four acres of two-part field, nearly 1,500 kilograms of rapeseed were harvested, 100 kilograms were kept for personal use, and the rest were sold to vegetable oil factories.
For ninety cents a pound, I got over twelve hundred yuan!
After transplanting the seedlings, the tomato seedlings have grown to 30cm tall, and it’s time to hang the ropes.
For greenhouse tomatoes in the village, the method of using bamboo poles to cross the vines has long been eliminated.
Instead, ropes were pulled up one by one in the north-south direction at a height of about 1.85 meters above the sorghum.
Then countless nylon ropes hang from the rope, avoiding the tomato buds and leaves, and twisting and binding the tomato branches.
On May 15th, You Yu’s family hadn’t finished hanging the tomato seedlings.
The aunt's daughter-in-law, Bian Chunyan, gave birth to the Fang family's eldest granddaughter.
Grandma You was very happy after hearing the good news that her mother and daughter were safe. She looked at the hens spinning in the chicken pen:
"You said you spent money to buy it for me, but who wants her money? Why don't you eat a few chickens to replenish the health of my grandson-in-law?"
You Yu saw that her happy expression did not seem to be fake, and was a little surprised: "I found that you, an old lady, do not favor boys over girls. Are you so happy to give birth to a great-granddaughter for you?"
The old lady glared at her granddaughter and said angrily: "I want to favor boys over girls, can you agree? When I was six years old, I gave Yu Rui two more candies, but you smashed my sugar bowl. It’s a mess!”
ah? this!
Gawking, stammering, and incoherent words were summed up as: "It was a matter of not waking up when I was a child!"
"You are used to eating too much and taking over too much. You Ci was beaten and cried several times by you when she was more than eight years old. Oh! One time, she had a nosebleed. Your father was so angry that he beat you with the sleeve of his spring and autumn shirt. A few times. It was like poking a hornet's nest, and the whole village came to watch the excitement."
Recalling the bad things her granddaughter had done, Grandma You was angry and funny: "You Ci and You Rui really owed you something in their previous life."
Bringing back the emotions of the original body, You Yu lowered his head and said dullly:
"I'm like this. If I keep silent and don't fight or fight, who in the family will care about my thoughts? As the old saying goes, can a baby who cries get candy?"
Grandma You choked up. You are acting crookedly, but you are right!
After finishing the work and asking that Bian Chunyan had been discharged from the hospital, Grandma You took You Yu and two hens into the county town.
Fang Xudong's cousin lives in the new district of the county, twenty minutes away from the old house where my aunt and uncle live.
The house is more than 120 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. It cost 60,000 yuan including decoration.
This was the second time Grandma You came to her grandson's house. Looking at the reddish-brown wooden floor, she still didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Inside the woven bag that had been filled with fertilizer, two old hens were still flapping about, obviously not used to being in the city.
The person who opened the door for them was Bian Chunyan. In my memory, she was only one year older than her original self. She was of medium height and had a chubby face.
He had a cotton hat on his head, thick pajamas, and a baby in his arms.
"Grandma, please put the woven bag at the door. Let grandma Xinxin take the chicken back to the old house and kill it. Otherwise, it will make our kitchen stink!"
"Ah? I need it, I need it." Grandma You was very embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "Will it be murmured if I leave it at the door?"
Bian Chunyan rolled her eyes quickly, but You Yu saw it: "Grandma, there are surveillance cameras in the elevators in our community. Do you know what surveillance is?"
You's tone of voice didn't hit the mark. I brought you chicken so early in the morning, but you still made me angry!
Which onion are you?
"There's surveillance and how can you catch a thief? When you catch a thief, you don't know whether the chickens I raise are dead or alive! Cousin, if you're not curious about the old hens I raise, I'll wait. Just take it home!”
"I didn't say no, don't you smell the smell of chicken shit? I still have a baby in the house..."
"Xiao Yu!" Grandma You shouted to stop You Yu.
I didn’t expect that my granddaughter, a time bomb, would explode at any time.
A woman in her forties came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise at the door.
Sallow skin, sparse eyebrows, and thin lips.
She has a thin figure and wears a baggy blue dress.
Seeing Grandma You, she laughed before she opened her mouth.
A series of exaggerated haha made Youyu get goosebumps.
"It turns out that Auntie is here, come in, come in, why are you still standing at the door?" She enthusiastically came up to hold Grandma You's hand.
Seeing that Grandma You was still winking at her, You said nothing, said a faint hello and followed her in.
The woven bag was finally placed at the door. It seemed that my cousin's mother heard everything.
"Why don't you change your shoes? Do you think it's because the villagers are full? Babies can easily be infected with bacteria!" You Yu calmed down, but Bian Chunyan was not happy yet.
Grandma You was shocked on the spot. She had raised three children and three granddaughters, and she was suddenly unable to deal with it.
"If you want us to change shoes, you should find the slippers! These two pairs on the ground are over 40 sizes, look at me and my breasts, which one can wear them? There are not as many bacteria in our village as in the city. Isn’t it possible that your family is living in a vacuum?”
"Yanzi, hurry up and show Xinxin to her ancestor." Seeing that the two were about to fight, Bian's mother immediately interrupted.
Without mentioning changing shoes, she grabbed Grandma You and walked to the sofa:
"Auntie, you don't know that my swallow's fetal position is not right, and it will suffer a lot when giving birth to the baby. The doctor said that after the lochia is passed, let Hao Hao repair it."
What the aunt said on the phone that mother and daughter were safe was the first time the two grandparents had heard of it, so they started talking about the topic:
"When a woman gives birth to a baby, she has to pass through the gate of hell. Today I brought the old hens to Chunyan. They have been free-range for more than two years. They are very good for stew. I still raise some at home. After these two are eaten, her mother-in-law will catch them again. .”
"Auntie is right, free-range chickens in rural areas are delicious, much more delicious than chickens raised on feed! We city dwellers can't even buy them if we want to eat them."
In addition to giving away old hens, Grandma You also gave her great-granddaughter a red envelope worth two hundred dollars.
"Thank you, Auntie, then we will accept it for Xinxin!"
