Li Qiusui rolled his eyes, this man wanted to be his elder again!
But can you be more reliable in what you say?
Return your family brother, my aunt... You, a man who claims to be an elder, are arguing with a little girl. Even if you are justified, what can you do?
Li Qiusui stopped talking. In the eyes of others, he looked frightened.
The few villagers watching the excitement were all old ladies who stayed at home to cook, or they were young wives with babies. In short, there was no man except Ma Wanzi. You know, all the male laborers were busy in the fields. , how can I have the time to get involved in this kind of thing.
There was an old lady who couldn't stand it. She usually didn't deal with Old Madam Ma. She didn't like Old Madam Ma. She didn't like her lazy old son, who was always eating and drinking, but she was regarded by this old lady as a precious.
The main reason is that the second daughter-in-law of Mrs. Ma's family is considered to be her cousin's niece, so she can feel angry if she catches an honest person and uses it hard, neighbors and neighbors.
Also, Mrs. Ma likes to stand on top when talking. At this age, no one can be worse than the other!
"Xingzi, your brother and sister-in-law are all busy in the field. If you are finished at home, go to the field to help. I heard that there might be rain next day, so put the seeds into the ground earlier so that crops can grow earlier. "
The words are good, depending on whose mouth they come from.
Mrs. Ma was able to talk to Li Qiusui calmly, for one thing, she was just using clichés. Secondly, for such a little girl, she didn't regard anyone as an opponent at all.
Mrs. Ma slapped her hands and opened her mouth to argue with others, "When will my family plant seeds? I want you to mind your own business, and it will rain tomorrow... You are even more powerful than Zhenzhen from Patriarch Li's family!"
Li Zhenzhen has been in the limelight in Lijia Village in the past two years. When it rains heavily, it rains heavily, and when it snows heavily, it snows heavily. She is always right, and is rumored to be miraculous by the villagers.
Li Qiusui raised his eyebrows. The old lady Ma really turned her back at once. The old lady who spoke was obviously no match for her!
She still wanted to take a look at the field, so Li Qiusui took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and walked away.
Sure enough, the old lady behind her said, "Who cares about your family's business anymore!"
The man turned around and entered his yard, slamming the door shut.
Just listen to Mrs. Ma shouting, "Let's all go away. I just want to say a few words to the little girl from the Sanzhu family to see if you are all surprised..."
…
In this season's dry land, corn is mainly grown, which is the kind where one person digs a hole in front, hangs a cloth bag in front of the ground, pinches two seeds and points them, then lifts his feet and covers them with soil.
Li Qiusui looked at his own seeds and other people's seeds, and they all were soaked in medicinal water.
At home, her father was particularly attentive to farming. The seeds themselves were selected from the best, and the distance between the dug holes seemed to have been measured with a ruler.
It is said that Li Sanzhu's harvest is higher than that of others. In fact, the methods and methods are similar, but he spends more energy.
Li Qiusui secretly used his superpower to purify his own seeds, as well as those from his grandparents.
My own work can be finished today. My grandparents will go over to help tomorrow, and it will only take a morning's work at most.
…
Li Qiusui bought meat and went home. Hongying asked, "Girl, how do you eat this meat?"
Such a big piece should weigh twenty kilograms.
Li Qiusui, "Of course the pork belly should be braised in braised pork. Let's do it!"
I have put in a lot of effort during the busy farming period, and eating braised pork is the best way to satisfy my craving. The old house sent some over, but it looked like a lot, but there really wasn’t much.
Hongying listened to Li Qiusui's instructions on how to make it. She soaked the pork in well water and washed it, then cut it into cubes and stacked them neatly.
"Girl, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, do you want our family to make some rice dumplings?"
The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival!
In the Zheng family, rice dumplings are made in the big kitchen. Before that, during the Dragon Boat Festival, each person would have an egg and a bunch of garlic. This year, they have to make rice dumplings no matter what.
Li Qiu Sui looked very excited, nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Zhao Da to buy glutinous rice and jujubes. If you want anything else, I will ask him to buy it back together."
Hongying thought for a while and then said, "Buy some more red beans, broad beans, bean paste, lard, etc., as well as rice dumpling leaves, pistachio leaves, Ruo leaves or wild reed leaves. You can find them anywhere near Lijiacun. Let's go pick them tomorrow. .”
"Let my second brother pick it tonight, and we'll start packing it tomorrow night."
In the evening, there was no need to deliver meat to the old house. After finishing the work on the farm, everyone from the old house came over. After dinner, they all sat in the yard and discussed planting fruit trees tomorrow.
Li Qiusui ordered Cuiping to burn mugwort to smoke out mosquitoes, and asked Cuizhu to cut melons.
Let her father talk about planting fruit trees tomorrow! She had Xiao Jiujiu in her heart. Although she had taken over the housekeeping rights, she didn't want her father to lose face in front of others.
Li Sanzhu said what he had planned in advance, "Our family is exhausted and we can't do it... We only pay five cents for a tree. One person can plant three or four trees in a day. Do you have the land?" It doesn’t matter if you live in this village or another village, as long as you work, we will give you money.”
The old man frowned, "The bag carriers in this town only earn twenty cents a day. I've looked at the top of the mountain. It's difficult to dig at the top, but it's easier to dig down. You can dig all by yourself in a day." Four or five, if you give me three cents each, it will be worth your weight in gold!”
The old man saw that his third son and his family were spending money lavishly, and his granddaughter had lived in a family like the Zheng family, so she didn't take three to five pennies seriously. How could Sanzhu be so confused?
Li Sanzhu had his own idea, "Dad, the fruit trees are bearing fruit now, but it's not as easy as in the spring. I want them to work more carefully. They have to dig up big dirt, and use the few mule carts I have to carry out the work." It's only three or two trees per trip. If you go back and forth like this, you can plant three or four trees that can reach the sky in one day. Besides, the folks in the countryside don't have to worry about those few coppers."
Li Qiusui's uncle had been a little weak since he was a child. He went to school for a few days and knew a few words, but he thought he couldn't help with heavy work.
He said: "Tomorrow I will go to the mountain and watch them work. I will record which fruit trees are planted by each family. Let's talk about the ugly things first. If there is any bad tree, don't blame us for settling the score with them." "
This method is good. Li Sanzhu decided to plant large fruit trees. If they are planted well, there may be a harvest in the autumn. Otherwise, there will not be a penny per fruit tree.
The family did not talk to each other and agreed on the details, saying that it would be dark tomorrow. Li Sanzhu led Li Erzhu, Li Sizhu, Zhao Da and Zhou Ping to go to the fruit trees first. At home, the old man and Li Dazhu helped find someone.
