After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, spring vegetables in the fields begin to emerge.
The first ones are shepherd's purse, white wormwood, and fresh noodle dishes.
The cabbage, radishes and vegetables that have been eaten all winter have dried up. As soon as the fresh vegetables and game grow, people can't wait to find something to eat and improve their meals.
Just after noon, when it was warm outside, Liuyu and the others went to the field with a basket and a small shovel.
The soil in the field is fertile, and the wild vegetables grow better than other places. However, it is natural that each family goes to each family's field. If they dig wild vegetables in other people's fields, they will be scolded in the village.
"Brother Liuyu, look at this I dug!" Li Lerong showed Liuyu the shepherd's purse he had just dug up.
Willow fish took a closer look, it was big and tender, and it was red leaves. This kind of shepherd's purse has a stronger fragrance and better taste. Unfortunately, there are too few of them. If you want to separate them and sell them at a good price, you can't sell them separately. Willow fish praised him, "This is good. "
Li Lerong was delighted, and started to compete with the three dolls Xianhu, Qiaojieer and Tianjieer to see who could dig more. Liu Guiying was offended when she saw it, and she didn't know when she would grow up.
Cong Chunhua said: "If you really grow up, you will worry about it."
This is true, Liu Guiying thought about it, and let Li Lerong play wild again.
Although the life at home is a bit more difficult than before, but there is no shortage of food and drink for the time being. The family is together, watching the smiles on the faces of her daughter and granddaughter, Liu Guiying feels that her heart is bright.
She, her eldest daughter-in-law, and Suzhi now make enough money from weaving to cover their family. The three men in the family are hardworking and pragmatic. Take it and sell some of it.
After the spring warmed up, the county town recruited more workers, and they were still able to go to work, and the days slowly started to rise again. She is a bright and optimistic woman, and she doesn't feel that there is anything to worry about.
There is a lot of joy in the field, and there are little children playing and talking and laughing among women everywhere. In the wheat field, it is green and full of grass fragrance at a glance, and there is a little breeze blowing from time to time, which makes people feel uneasy.
After digging for a long time, there was the sound of squeaking wheels on the road in the field, Liu Yu was overjoyed, and when she poked her head, it turned out to be Li Qingshan.
He stood up and waved at Li Qingshan excitedly. Li Qingshan smiled when he saw him, stopped and waited for him.
Liu Yu turned to look at the old lady Guan and Cong Chunhua.
The two also laughed, and said in unison: "Go!"
Liu Yu quickly ran towards Li Qingshan with the set of things he brought, Li Qingshan met him on the ground, and took what he had on hand , "What are you doing in such a hurry, be careful."
Liu Yu turned his head to look at him, embarrassed to say that he missed him.
During the more than half a month of Chinese New Year, Li Qingshan was at home from morning to night, and Liu Yu could see him all the time. In the ten days since the fair started, Li Qingshan would not be seen for most of the day, how could he not miss it.
"Are you hungry? Did you have lunch in the city?"
Fu Lang looked at him with such bright eyes, and his words of concern made Li Qingshan's heart soften, and the fatigue from most of the day disappeared.
"Hmm..." He dragged his voice out, "After eating, I wasn't hungry at first, but seeing how you dug up these vegetables..."
I was hungry.
Like a child, Liu Yu was amused by him, and wanted to take his arm and snuggle up with him, but because there were so many people in the field, he could only walk side by side with Li Qingshan obediently.
"Then when I get home, I will fry an egg for you with shepherd's purse, and make white wormwood for you to eat." Liuyu doesn't know, Li Qingshan has a big appetite and loves money, so he picks out cheap and large meals for lunch. And this kind of food doesn't taste good.
He worked so hard every day, but the most important lunch was dealt with in such a hasty way, Liu Yu felt sorry for him when he thought about it.
After returning home and fastening the gate, Liu Yu hugged Li Qingshan's waist.
Throwing himself into his arms like this, and looking up at him with bright eyes, Li Qingshan's heart was so excited that he also wanted to hug him, but he didn't forget to remind him first, "I'm dirty." "I don't mind." Liu Yu said a
little He said stubbornly, and after finishing speaking, he rested his head on Li Qingshan's chest and snuggled up to him.
"That's what you said!" Li Qingshan was not polite, he bent his legs and hugged the man directly, making Liu Yu giggle.
His crooked eyebrows and eyes are really pretty, Li Qingshan's heart was itchy, he began to act like a baby, and said pitifully: "Kiss me." Liu
Yu glared at him, but still hugged Li Qingshan's neck with red ears and bowed his head to kiss him.
On a sunny day, for fear of causing fire, they didn't dare to make more kisses. After a little intimacy, the two separated.
The two furry pigs tied to the cart were still grunting, as if they were complaining about why they didn't put them down when they got home, making Liu Yu's face hot, and he hurried to pack up the wild vegetables.
In fact, the wild vegetables at this time have not yet grown up, and they are all the freshest and tender, with almost no yellow or rotten leaves. After the roots are removed and cleaned, they can be put into the pot.
Remove the water from the shepherd's purse, chop it into pieces and put it in a bowl, beat two eggs, add a pinch of salt, break up the eggs with chopsticks, stir well and stir fry in the pan, the taste is delicious, chewing it is even more delicious It is fragrant, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
I haven't eaten it all winter, and I really miss this bite.
Put oil in the white wormwood, sprinkle flour and shake well, and steam in a pan. Sprinkle minced garlic and chili noodles with hot oil, add some soy sauce and sesame oil, and pour the prepared dipping sauce on the wheat rice. Once mixed, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Li Qingshan ate such a large bowl of white wormwood rice by himself, and said that he had eaten at noon.
"You love it, so I'll go digging it up tomorrow. Save some of the shepherd's purse that I dug up today, and chop it up with the meat at night, and make dumplings for you to eat, and make some buns for tomorrow morning." Li Qingshan liked willow fish and him very much
. Talking about these homely things, he picked a large piece of egg from the plate and fed it to him, "You should also eat more."
"It's a good baby." Li Qingshan whispered into Liu Yu's ear.
Willow was chewing something in his mouth, pinching him embarrassedly.
After dinner, the two of them were not idle, Li Qingshan took the cart to the river to clean all the utensils used to open the stall, Liu Yu cleaned the pots and pans just used at home, and swept the yard , When Li Qingshan came back, he took a small basket and went to the mountain to cut firewood with him.
It is much warmer now than it was before the fifteenth day, and the grass outside is sprouting, and the pheasants and hares that have been hiding for the winter have gradually come alive and come out to look for food. When Li Qingshan went up the mountain a few days ago, he dug some traps, hoping to catch a few pheasants and hares and call willow fish to taste the game.
A few days ago the trap was empty, today he took the willow fish up the mountain, saw a hare fall in the first trap, Li Qingshan was overjoyed, thought it was really a face.
He caught the hare from the trap, and it was not light, weighing five or six catties.
"It's amazing!" Liu Yu praised him.
Li Qingshan rubbed his nose, and the corners of his lips became even higher, "I will ask my mother to cook spicy rabbit meat for you to eat!" "
No more." Liu Yu stretched out his hand to touch the fat but unlucky hare and said: "It's still sold for money."
Knowing Li Qingshan's intentions, he coaxed him: "When you buy a horse mule, you can catch it for me to eat later."
This hare weighs more than five catties, and it would sell for more than a hundred cash at the market price.
Rabbit meat is much rarer than pork and chicken.
The money lent to Uncle Li's family last time was useless in the end. After the market opened, Li Qingshan has set up a stall for so many days. Now they have almost twelve taels of silver in their hands. If they save a little more for business, they can buy The mule is gone.
Now is the time to save money, this hare can be sold for so much money, he is reluctant to keep it for himself to eat.
Li Qingshan felt very uncomfortable, looked around to see if there was no one, hugged Liu Yu fiercely, and said with a rolling voice: "Give me some more time." I will definitely let
you live a life without worrying about money.
Liu Yu tilted her head and kissed Li Qingshan, held his face, and told him seriously: "I think life is very good now, every day with you is very happy." Li Qingshan seemed to have a warm current in his
heart After rushing by, the tip of the nose rubbed against the tip of Liu Yu's nose, humming and chirping, a bit like a big dog sniffing someone.
Liu Yu changed his place, amused himself, "Be careful someone is coming." "
Don't worry!" Big Gouzi insisted, "You recruited me first!"
But there was a sudden rustling in the grass far away. Rushing, Li Qingshan hastily separated from Liu Yu, he is a thick-skinned guy so he is not afraid to say it. But Liu Yu is different, if people gossip like this behind their backs, it will be very fatal.
The two followed the sound and saw that it was a snake fighting a squirrel, and they didn't know why. For the little brother, this scene was a bit frightening, Li Qingshan was afraid that the willow fish would be frightened, he hurriedly restored the trap to its original state and buried it, and took his hand to the next place.
Six traps, caught a pheasant and a hare, which is considered a good harvest. Li Qingshan looked for hemp rope, tied the pheasant and hare to the firewood pole, found a place and started chopping firewood.
Liu Yu was groping around him, digging some wild vegetables, and looking for some grass that the hares like to eat, and chatting with Li Qingshan from time to time.
"Auntie said that her family will water the wheat at the end of the month. When will ours be watered?"
Yu Chao's water conservancy is fairly well developed, at least in this area of Yunshui County. There are several water trucks in each village. Several water trucks work together to draw water, which can irrigate more than 100 mu a day, which is very convenient for watering the land.
However, there are so many lands in the village, and the requirements for water flow are different. Which side to water first and then which side to water depends on the arrangement of the village every year. For such a matter, the man in charge still needs to come forward to handle it, and the wife and husband can't talk outside.
Li Qingshan said: "Last year it was our side that watered first, this year it's uncle's side that watered first, we should be two days behind them."
Liu Yu nodded, thinking in his mind that when the time comes to fertilize, water and weed, It's a lot of work all at once.
After Li Qingshan had collected two loads of firewood, they went down the mountain to go home.
At this moment, the sun has already set, the sunset has burned half of the sky red, and wisps of cooking smoke in the village are also rising. Li Qingshan and Liu Yu join hands, rushing to go home with the wisp that belongs to them.
