At night, Liu Yu's good mood didn't dissipate, and she made the bed humming.
Li Qingshan poured the footwashing water and came in, pursed his mouth, and said sourly, "It's so happy to wear new clothes!"
Some short-sighted men along the way looked at Liu Yu twice, and he stared back at him fiercely.
Liu Yu laughed, and when the big dog came up, she quickly took the initiative to hug him and coax him, "I'm happy because of something else!"
Liu Yu told Li Qingshan vividly how he pinched Wang Hao'er on the spot in anger Candy didn't show up when I was having dinner afterwards.
Of course, he omitted the part where Wang Haoer wiped her tears.
Only then did Da Gouzi feel happy, trying to be a bit more reserved, but the upturned corners of his lips could make people look a little smug, "So you care about me so much." "Hmph!"
Liu Yu glared at him, He stretched out his hand and grabbed his chin, "I don't care about you, who do I care about?"
...
The second day is the fasting day, not only can you not eat meat, you can't even eat spicy things such as onions, peppers, garlic, scallions, and coriander. Toss people.
In the morning, I drank thick rice porridge, served with pickled vegetables, and ate pancakes.
The pancakes will not be so fragrant without chopped green onion, lard and pepper leaves, but the whole family has lived a hard life, so they are not picky at all, and they still taste delicious.
These three days are said to be fasting for sacrifices and blessings, but in fact it is more like the days when people rush to go outing.
However, farmers don't have so much leisure time, and they don't miss the work they should do.
After dinner, Li Qingshan called Dazhuang, Li Qingjiang and Li Qinghe to go with him to the county shop and help him build a mule shed.
A few days ago, Li Qingshan intermittently sent the wood and grain grass for the shed to the shop, just waiting for everyone to have free time before starting construction.
The three men had also been informed of this matter by him earlier, and they had eaten early in the morning and waited for him to call.
"You are very promising now, the big horse mule is bought, and the shop is also opened!" Da Zhuang hammered Li Qingshan's shoulder and scolded with a smile.
"Oh, it's full of tears when I say it." Li Qingshan said this, the three men all laughed, scrambling to be the driver of the car today.
Li Qingshan spread his hands and let them go.
But the mule is too stubborn to listen to them...
Liu Yu and the others were not idle at home, so they poured the little soybeans left in the house into the basket and picked soybeans.
It's March 3rd, when it's time to make miso, make it once and eat it for a year.
Pick out all the broken and shriveled beans first, so as not to affect the future fermentation of beans.
"I saw that the grain bags at home were all empty, and I felt uneasy." Cong Chunhua said this because there was not much left of the stone of wheat that the family bought from Grandpa Li Qingshan's house last month.
Not only that, but there are few millets, and now the beans are almost used up.
A farmer grows up on a grain nest. If he doesn't have enough food at home, how can he sleep at ease.
Liu Yu comforted Cong Chunhua, "Mother, it will be fine when the shop opens."
Recently, they have spent a lot of money on the shop, and their money is a little tight. Give money to supplement food for the family.
When choosing a shop, both of them carefully inspected the surrounding area of the shop, and they are very confident that they can sell the pork of two pigs in one day.
"I understand." Cong Chunhua said: "That's the heart, always..."
She is an out-and-out farmer, and she has never seen anything in the world. Now her son is about to fly out, and his steps are still so big , she doesn't understand anything, and it's inevitable that her heart will be in suspense when the end comes.
Liu Yu picked out a bad bean, smiled and said to Cong Chunhua: "Mother, let's take care of everything together as a family."
He said this, which made Cong Chunhua's eyes a little sour, and at the same time it made her eyes sour. Concentrated, Cong Chunhua smiled, and replied loudly, "Hey!"
After picking out the beans, wash them and cook them in a pot until they can be crushed with a light hand. .
Stir-fry the dried wheat and corn, mix well with the boiled beans, squeeze them into balls, put them in a porcelain basin, cover them with cloth, and let them ferment for seven days.
At that time, the sauce was the most tender. Take out the dried tofu and crush it, add cold water and let it dry in the sun for a while, and the sauce is ready.
Now, put the dried tofu into a ball and cover it with a cloth, and the job is over.
At this time, the one-hour embroidery class of the four girls was over, and the other three girls told Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu not to go home, and Sister Qiao also told Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu to go home and find Tian. My sister is playing.
After sitting for a long time, Mrs. Guan came out for a walk.
Cong Chunhua asked her if she was tired.
"Not tired." Mrs. Guan said.
The three girls and one sister Qiao are all obedient and worry-free girls, and after teaching a certain acupuncture method, the girls have to practice more. She is just helping to check and remind, it is very easy to be true.
Liu Yu smiled, and went back to the house to move benches for Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Cong Chunhua. She took some peanuts and red dates from home, brought a pot of tea, put it on the stone table in the yard, and asked Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan to sit down. Let's take a break and bask in the sun for a while.
He himself took a broom to clean the mule shed, pig pens and chicken pens at home, and piled up the manure to be used as fertilizer in the future.
In the afternoon, after Li Qingshan finished building the mule shed, he came back from the county seat, the first thing he did after returning home was to ask Xianhu for two pieces of hemp paper and to borrow a pen and ink.
During these three days of fasting, the school is also on holiday.
Under the supervision of Liu Guiying and Mrs. Lin, Xianhu, who was trying to write big characters to complete the homework left by his husband, was overjoyed when he heard that his uncle wanted to borrow paper and pen from him. He immediately touched his beard and small hands that did not exist at all. With a wave, he asked his uncle to take it away.
Li Qingshan was very happy to go home with a pen and paper, and he looked a bit childish. Liu Yu laughed and asked him: "What are you borrowing this for?" Just now, Li Qingshan only said in a hurry that he would go to Xianhu to borrow something, but he didn't make it clear what he wanted
. what to borrow.
"Make a paper kite! Let's release it when we go out on March 3rd!"
The trip he was talking about was actually going to the peach orchard on the mountain to enjoy the peach blossoms in full bloom that day, and then going for an outing in the fields. This is what he discussed with Liu Yu. When there are a few days in a year when he is free, he will do nothing on that day and have a good day.
Liu Yu's eyes widened even more, and he said, "You borrowed the pen and paper,
which made Xianhu happy." The words said: "His writing is not as good as I was when I was studying. At first glance, he is not a material for studying!"
He suffered such a severe beating that day, but he did not correct the boy's reading attitude. It is said that he jumped up and down in the school all day, and the old master stared and blew his beard in anger.
Liu Yu pursed her lips happily, "Then what else do you use pen and ink for ?
"
No compliments on his artistry.
Li Qingshan was dissatisfied, he groaned, and waited until Liuyu helped him spread the hemp paper on the stone table in the yard, and when he was about to write, he paused and paused, and said to Liuyu: "How about it? Come on?"
Liu Yu smirked endlessly, took the brush and tapped on the tip of his nose first, "Aren't you very good at it?"
Li Qingshan glared at him sideways, beckoning him to draw quickly with doting eyes.
Liu Yu smiled and sat down next to Li Qingshan, resting her chin and thinking: "What should I draw?"
"It's not allowed to draw dogs anyway!" Li Qingshan strongly demanded.
Liu Yu laughed, thought for a while, and drew a little piglet with a brush.
Li Qingshan was about to ask why he drew the little piggy, when Liu Yu drew a taller and stronger pig on the left side of the little piggy, and a slightly slender pig on the right side.
Li Qingshan immediately understood what he meant, the corners of his lips curled up and said: "Daddy Pig, Daddy Pig and Son Pig."
Liu Yu tilted his head to look at him, tilted his head slightly leaning on Li Qingshan's shoulder and sighed, "Alright I don't know when our pig son will come."
"Why is there such a rush?" Li Qingshan rubbed Liu Yu's belly, "Let's relax and let nature take its course, it doesn't matter if we wait three or five years."
He thought for a while and then said softly to Liu Yu: "If you really can't conceive, then let's live together."
Liu Yu's eyes were a little sour, and she glared at him: "Don't say such depressing words." "
Then you still sigh !" Li Qingshan said directly: "We started to have a child in less than half a month!"
What are you talking about in broad daylight!
Liu Yu was disgusted, and brought up the brush to draw two strokes on Li Qingshan's face, but Li Qingshan snatched the brush away and drew two strokes of cat's beard on him.
"Ah!" Liu Yu jumped up covering his face, with such an ugly appearance, he didn't want to be seen by Li Qingshan, so he hurriedly fetched water to wash his face.
Li Qingshan laughed loudly, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, and seriously scribbled on another piece of hemp paper with great interest.
But what he draws is different from what he thinks.
