There are rewards everywhere in life

Chapter 158 Pit Cabbage!
"Why are you only pitting cabbages now?

Isn't it already ready at this time in previous years? "

Ye Zhijiang said in surprise.

"This year, the cabbage roll core is relatively late, so I put it in the ground to let it grow longer and make the roll firmer. Moreover, the temperature is not too low, and it is not damaged by freezing."

Ye Jianping explained.

"Then I'll go and give the cabbage to the cellar.

I'm fine anyway.

Xiuqin, you can stay at home and help make lunch. "

Now that Ye Zhijiang is back, how can he watch the old man go to work in his old age, while he is sitting at home watching TV, eating melon seeds and drinking tea.

Wang Xiuqin nodded.

"Then I'll have a look too."

Ye Xiaotian volunteered.

Ye Zhijiang considered that his son would not be of much help if he stayed here, and might even cause trouble, so he might as well let him go to the vegetable garden with him, and nodded, "Okay, follow me to the vegetable garden."

Just as Ye Zhijiang and Ye Xiaotian were about to push the door out, Ye Jianping also followed suit.

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

Ye Zhijiang asked.

"I'll go and see.

You haven't come back for so long, do you still know where your vegetable garden is? "

Ye Jianping glanced at Ye Zhijiang and asked back.

"Dad, what are you talking about, can I still dig other people's vegetable gardens?"

Ye Zhijiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That's impossible to say."

What Ye Jianping said was serious.

"Well then, you can go if you want."

Ye Zhijiang understood his father's temper, and could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this.

Ye Xiaotian watched Ye Jianping and his son singing together, and found it very interesting.

It is indeed one thing.

Ye Xiaotian hasn't watched enough excitement yet, Ye Zhijiang glanced at Ye Xiaotian who was having fun, he couldn't control his father, and he couldn't control his son, so he rolled his eyes at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Don't go get the hair and A shovel, and an old kitchen knife!"

"Oh!"

Ye Xiaotian was named by Ye Zhijiang, and he quickly responded.

"Let's go with the cart and pull out the cabbages by the way, and bring back a few cabbages for the Chinese New Year."

Li Yufen reminded Ye Jianping.

"Ah."

Ye Jianping nodded and responded.

Rhubarb in the courtyard started barking again when he saw Ye Xiaotian and others coming out of the door. Ye Jianping's painstaking education before seemed useless now.

"rhubarb!"

Ye Jianping stomped his feet, reprimanded him, and glared at Da Huang, who immediately stopped barking.

However, when Rhubarb saw the two strangers pushing carts and carrying things out of the house, he barked again, and even broke free from the chains and rushed forward.

The intensity is no less than meeting the enemy!

The sharp canine teeth are all exposed, so as to deter the opponent!

"rhubarb!"

Ye Zhijiang scolded, not only did not relieve, but intensified.

Ye Jianping could only go forward, stop Dahuang, waved to Ye Xiaotian and the others, "Go first!"

Ye Xiaotian pushed the small cart and quickly pushed out of the house.

Although some people in the countryside will reclaim a small vegetable garden next to their home to add green onions or peppers, the most important vegetable garden is still some distance away.

At this time, everything in the rural countryside was completely silent, and there was a scene of chilling.

The grass and trees have long been withered and yellow, leaving only a little green in the vegetable garden.

It seems that because of the winter, the dirt roads in the country have become extraordinarily hard. Crossing the stone bridge over the long-dried river, you will come to the vegetable garden.

The bean racks in the vegetable garden are still inserted in the vegetable field with dry branches.

A few eggplants have already withered and turned yellow, and some eggplants that have not had time to be picked have already been frozen and cooked. Several trenches of green onions have been buried high with soil, and leeks have been covered with film. The living cabbage stands alone in the vegetable garden.

At a glance, there must be at least dozens of cabbages in this field.

Although there is already a refrigerator at home, it is obviously impossible to stuff so many cabbages into the refrigerator.

We can only use the most primitive and old method handed down, cellaring cabbage, to store cabbage.

"Go ahead.

Zhijiang, you dig the vegetable cellar, and Xiaotian and I pull the cabbage. "

Ye Jianping ordered directly.

Obviously, he handed over the most difficult and tiring task to his own son.

Although Ye Zhijiang lived in the city for a period of time, he has not left behind the farming skills he has done since he was a child. He took off his coat and threw it aside, picked up his head and started digging.

"Grandpa, let me pull the cabbage."

Seeing that Ye Jianping was about to pull cabbage, Ye Xiaotian hurried forward and said.

Although Ye Jianping refuses to accept old age, the aging of the body cannot be resisted by the will.

Compared with Ye Xiaotian, he didn't feel the difficulty of bending over to get up, but for Ye Jianping, it was a bit difficult.

When Ye Xiaotian was pulling the cabbage, Ye Zhijiang was sweating profusely digging the vegetable cellar.

The depth of the vegetable cellar should allow the cabbage to stand upright, not too wide, and the length should be able to accommodate the cabbage. Fortunately, after digging the hard soil on the surface with a hoe, the soil below can be dug out with a shovel .

After all, it is a vegetable garden, and the soil is relatively soft.

When Ye Xiaotian and the others finished pulling out the cabbage, Ye Zhijiang hadn't dug the vegetable cellar yet.

"Dad, you haven't dug yet?
We have finished all the dishes. "

Ye Xiaotian sarcastically said beside him.

"Come down and try to dig two shovels!"

Ye Zhijiang gave Ye Xiaotian a white look and said.

"Just try it!"

Ye Xiaotian imitated his father Ye Zhijiang's digging action, picked up the shovel, inserted the tip of the shovel down, put his foot behind the shovel and stepped on it, held the shovel pole with both hands, and exerted a little force.

Ok?
Why don't you move?

Suddenly a little embarrassed.

Ye Xiaotian thought that his training in school during this time was considered fruitful, but he didn't expect that he didn't even dig up a shovel of soil.

"Get up, don't make trouble here.

If you dig vertically, how can it be effortless, you should be oblique, with your hands in front and back, and use skill. "

As Ye Zhijiang spoke, he easily dug up the soil.

Ye Xiaotian didn't dare to continue playing with the axe, but dug honestly little by little.

Finally, the vegetable cellar was dug.

Ye Zhijiang leveled the vegetable cellar, and then Ye Xiaotian handed it to the side. Ye Zhijiang arranged it in the vegetable cellar, and finally covered it with dried corn stalks with leaves, and then covered the top with soil, so that there was no need to worry about the vegetable cellar. The cabbage in the cellar was frozen.

Moreover, this can ensure that the cabbage can be preserved when the weather turns warmer next year.

As long as it is dug out in time, there is no need to worry about rotting.

After the cabbage was put into the cellar, Ye Jianping had already picked up the cabbage leaves that had just been peeled off and put them in bags to cook pig food at home. As for grandma Li Yufen's order to bring a few cabbage back home, she did not forget.

However, all the cabbages were selected with unrolled and slightly flawed cabbage, and the good cabbage was already in the vegetable cellar.
