After a while, Li Suzhi and Li Lerong also brought their belongings to help. Liu Guiying replaced Li Qingjiang and asked him to come over with a shovel to help Li Qingshan dig fertilizer. After a while, the big farmer who had already watered the land also came to help. .
With so many people, seven acres of land were harvested in one afternoon. If I work another day tomorrow, I will be able to finish the fifteen acres of land.
It was getting dark, and when I got home from work, there was a big pile of pigweed at the door of the house.
No need to guess, it must have been sent by Yang Qiuqin.
Ever since Cong Chunhua informed her that she could sell wild vegetables for her, she would send a large pile of pigweed every day.
It is not a labor-intensive task to plant such a large pile of hogweeds in the mountains and fields when weeds are flourishing, but that time has not yet come. Now the family feeds the pigs with the fermented green material saved last year, and the willow fish and the others have not yet started to hunt pigweed, which shows that they are working hard.
As early as the first time she sent it, Cong Chunhua told her not to be so polite, and she didn't need to send it again in the future, but Yang Qiuqin still didn't leave every day in the next few days.
Cong Chunhua couldn't stop her, so she negotiated with Mrs. Guan to charge less for Xiaoxue's embroidery work.
Now that there are mules in the family, the fresh hog grass must be eaten by the mules first, and it will be the hero of the future.
Cong Chunhua opened the lock, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu put down their belongings, each carried some hogweed and put them in the mule's trough.
Pigs love to eat grass, and so do mules. The big horse mule smelled it and started to eat by itself.
But this little grass is not enough for it to eat. The mule eats a lot, and one meal can eat more than a pig in a day.
Liu Yu hurriedly poured some wheat bran and rice bran into the trough, Li Qingshan also pulled a large handful of clean grain and grass and put it into the trough.
Cong Chunhua also grabbed a handful of soybeans and mixed them in. She had fed them to the mules before and said: "Mules like to eat soybeans and black beans, but they can't be fed too much. It's a trivial matter to feed them too much. If you eat too many beans, you will get flatulence and get sick." Li
Qingshan He and Liu Yu wrote down these words, and seeing the mule eating happily, he couldn't help laughing.
It's really a rough meal, so hello.
Wheat bran and grain bran don't need to be cooked, they can be eaten raw directly, and they also like to eat such rough grain and grass. It's really good to feed, what's the matter with feeding it a handful of beans a day, Liu Yu said: " Later, I will sew a cloth bag for you, specially for the beans it likes to eat."
Li Qingshan nodded, and added, "I'll go to the oil mill to buy some bean cakes, mules like to eat that fragrance even more."
Cong Chunhua became angry after hearing this for a while Laughed, could it be that this young couple raised this young mule who was actually only five years old as a child!
After cooking the pig food and feeding the pigs, and adding some warm water to boil and let the pigs and mules cool, the family has time to take care of themselves.
I have been smoked by fertilizer all afternoon, and now I have no appetite to eat, so I boil water to take a bath first.
Since the last time Li Qingshan insisted on taking Liuyu to take a bath together and seeing Liuyu's body, every time after that, Li Qingshan refused to go out after taking a bath.
This time too, Liu Yu was so angry that she put the jacket she just took off on Li Qingshan's head, and ran away by herself.
However, he was caught by Li Qingshan within two steps, "Little beauty, where are you going?"
Liu Yu laughed out loud from being scratched by him, and still did not forget to scold him: "A disciple!"
"I am a disciple !" Only for you!" Li Qingshan hugged Liu Yu forcefully, "It's better to let my husband take a bath for you!"
Liu Yu couldn't help laughing.
Who said that he would serve him before, but he blushed halfway. It's only been a short month, and I didn't expect this person to evolve to such a "shameless" state!
However, who told Liu Yu to like him, she was willing to pamper him. When he was put into the tub, he blushed and kissed Li Qingshan himself.
Li Qingshan was so annoyed, "Don't recruit me here!"
If something happens, there is a risk of getting a cold!
In fact, Liu Yu's face was too red, and after hearing this, she quickly let go of him, sat in the tub, leaned on the side, and began to quietly enjoy Li Qingshan helping him wash his hair.
...
On the second day, Liu Yu didn't go out with Li Qingshan to set up a stall for the time being because the homework was not finished yet.
In the morning, Mrs. Guan was going to teach the four maids (and now Qiaojieer) embroidery for an hour at home, so she fed the pigs and chickens. After sending Li Qingshan out, Liu Yu and Cong Chunhua quickly went to the field to fertilize.
I must finish this job today, so as not to delay watering the wheat tomorrow.
However, after only working for half an hour, Mrs. Guan called them from the ground, saying that it was the arrival of the good news.
Liu Yu thought about it, it must be Cong's uncle's cousin who gave birth, so she quickly put down the work at hand and went home with Cong Chunhua.
Li Qingjiang and Li Qinghe are still helping in the fields, and they are not afraid of losing tools, so they don't have to take them home.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, Cong Chunhua hurriedly asked her eldest nephew who was sitting in the yard and
smiled silly, " What happened?"
"Look how happy you are!" Cong Chunhua said happily, "Hi girl, you are so caring."
Cong's cousin sister-in-law had already given birth to a young man and a young brother, and now they are all together.
"Guy, then I won't stay any longer. I have to go to several houses. Remember to go to Sansan the day after tomorrow."
Cong Chunhua nodded to send him off, "Let's go, it's a long way away."
Cousin Cong looked at Liu Yu, Liu Yu Yu slightly nodded his head as a greeting to him.
The addition of a baby is a great joy, Uncle Cong and Aunt Cong treat Li Qingshan well, and Liu Yu is also happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
After Cousin Cong left in the ox cart, Chunhua Cong said, "I'll give you more money this time."
At the autumn society last year, Uncle Cong and Uncle Cong both sent a stone of grain, which was worth a lot of money.
When Brother Yi got married, Second Uncle Cong's share had already been returned, and Uncle Cong's share had to be made up from here.
Cong Chunhua suddenly remembered what Wang Haoer did last time, so she simply said to Liu Yu: "Xisan, you and Qingshan don't go, I will go by mule cart!
" He acted so aggressively, it would be bad if something good news spread about him and Qingshan, it would be better to ask Qingshan to go there less.
Besides, Qingshan and Liuyu are separated by a floor, so it doesn't matter if you have to go to the full moon wine or not. Both her mother and sister-in-law are aware of their feelings and will not blame them.
When she goes back this time, she has to ask her mother how her relationship with Wang Haoer is going.
Liu Yu obviously also thought of that Wang Hao'er, and really got angry just thinking about it.
Cong Chunhua coaxed him with a smile, "That brat sees someone else besides you!"
"Mom!" Liu Yu felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
The two went down again.
It's good to buy a mule. It saves more than an hour just to go back and forth, and Li Qingshan is in time to go home for lunch
. The pigweeds outside are growing slowly, so there is no need to feel sorry for the pigs eating two meals a day.
After buying the mules, I only have two taels of silver on hand now, which is not enough to collect two pigs at once, so I have to save more.
Liu Yu also agrees, and the two of them will go out in the future. With so much work at home, it's better to come back early to take care of it.
After dinner, Mrs. Guan stayed at home to feed the mules, pigs, and chickens, and the three of them went down to the ground again.
In the morning, with the help of Li Qingjiang, Li Qinghe and the two cousins at the other end of the second grandfather, the ten acres of good land have been fertilized. In the afternoon, the five acres will be allocated before the willow carp is dried.
The five acres of land are poor, and the wheat seedlings grown are much sparser than those in the ten acres of good land. It can be seen that there is not much grain to be harvested.
However, it is also necessary to grow and fertilize well. Don't expect more grain in this crop. Fertilization is to raise the land.
The more people who help, the faster the job will be done.
Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu have also been busy for a whole day, so they don't have the energy to make another meal, Li Qingshan said to his cousin who helped him: "I won't invite you to dinner this time, I will send you meat tomorrow!
" It's mutual, but this year he became a butcher, and his own work is a bit overwhelming, and no one else can help.
Li Qinghe said: "Go easy, sell the meat for money! Just give me two big sticks and bones to chew on!"
Everyone laughed, and Cong Chunhua said: "Okay! Shut your mouth!"
Is it true that the relationship is good, the people who help are sincere, and Li Qingshan's desire to send meat is also true.
After returning home from work, with his body dirty, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu went out to hunt pigweed together.
Mules and pigs together eat about 20 catties of hogweed a day, and it's not enough for the two of them to knock it down.
Seeing that the basket was almost full, Liu Yu said: "Let's just hunt some for now. There will be a lot of weeds in the future, so we will beat faster. Let's not beat so much today." Li Qingshan smiled, "Okay,
everything Listen to you!"
As he said, he put the basket on his back and led Liu Yu home.
When they got home, Mrs. Guan and Cong Chunhua had already boiled the hot water. After feeding the mule, the two went to take a bath.
After getting rid of the filth, I have a little appetite to eat.
The toon tree in Uncle Li's house has grown toon, and I picked some up today and sent them over.
At night, I ate toon mixed with tofu. The toon has a unique fragrance, which is really a perfect match with the refreshing tofu, very appetizing.
After eating, after tidying up a bit, Liu Yu found an old cotton-padded jacket of Li Qingshan and took it apart.
Li Qingshan came in after washing, saw him unpacking his jacket and thought he was going to wash his cotton-padded clothes, and said: "What are you doing now? The river water is still a little cold, and it won't be too late to wash it when it gets warmer.
" Stupid?" Liu Yu said: "I've been wearing this for several years, and it's not warm anymore. I want to remove the sun-dried cotton, sew two cushions out, and sit comfortably on the scooter." Li Qingshan kicked off the
shoes After getting off the kang, she hugged Liu Yu from behind, kissed Liu Yu's face, and said: "My husband is thinking of thoughtfulness!"
Liu Yu's lips curled up slightly, and she turned her head to stare at him.
Out of tune.
His appearance was very vivid, Li Qingshan's heart was itching, he hugged him tightly, lowered his head and rubbed Liu Yu's cheek with his nose.
Liu Yu laughed at being scratched by his hair, put down the work at hand and patted his head, just now she lay in his arms, held his hand, and discussed business with him, "It's time to grow vegetables in the vegetable field, I always want to grow some peas by ourselves, and when the weather gets hot, we can do jelly business. But the vegetable field is so big, if we grow peas, we will be short of the vegetables we usually eat.
" Fertilized and watered, but the past few days have been busy digging wild vegetables to make money, and busy with the work in the field, so I haven't spared my hands to plant them.
The vegetable garden in the backyard and in front of the yard must be planted with peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, lettuce, and leeks. Others such as courgettes, gourds, eggplant and cabbage, etc. should be planted on the ground.
There is not much land at home, and the vegetables grown on the ground are limited, just enough to eat. If I planted peas, would it be possible to spend money to buy the vegetables I eat on weekdays?
Li Qingshan thought for a while and said: "This is easy to handle. Anyway, the wheat seedlings from the five acres of land are not good. You can just interplant peas, and the yield may be higher.
" , Li Qingshan had already planted soybeans in the five acres of land.
"Can this work? Are peas considered food?" Liuyu was a little worried. Although peas are beans, they are different from soybeans and mung beans. They are mostly used as vegetables. However, the imperial court law stipulates that it is not allowed to grow anything other than food in the mouth of the land.
Only the fields purchased by themselves later are counted as Yongye fields, and they are allowed to grow crops at will.
This also made Li Qingshan questionable. He thought for a long time, and he thought it was funny, "Go to the county government to ask Wu Sheng to ask." Liu Yu looked up at him and smiled, then suddenly got up and knelt on
him, holding With his head, he spat lightly: "Fool."
Li Qingshan snorted and glared at him, expressing that he was angry.
Liu Yu bent her eyes and lowered her head to kiss him.
