Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Fertilizer was applied in the front, and someone was carrying a basket behind him, and three or four seeds leaked from his hand, and fell into the pit accurately, and then used his feet to pull some soil to cover it, and stepped on it firmly.

Farming is hard work, and those who wield pickaxes in front of them will suffer from tired shoulders all morning.

At the back, there is a kind of stepping ridge, with one foot in the ditch and one foot in the ridge, and a long ridge comes down, the leg of the stepping ridge is sore, and the aisle begins to tiptoe.

The sunshine in early May was already abundant. After working under the sun for a whole morning, when we got off work at noon, everyone was sweating from exhaustion.

The land of the Second Brigade was neither far nor close to the village, and there was not enough time for a lunch break to go home, so they could only bring food to eat on the ground.

From the willow trees on the ground, I took off the bags with rice from all over the place.

Then he threw the pickaxe on the ground, and the person sat on the handle of the pickaxe, opened his pocket, took out dry food and gnawed.

Everyone brought a variety of meals, mostly pancakes, corn flour pancakes, and pickled cabbage heads. In this year, there are not many that I want to eat.

"Brother Xu, what's in your pancake? Why does it smell delicious?"

The meals that Xu Shiyan brought were pancakes that Zhou Guilan had rolled for him in advance.

Before Su Anying gave birth, Zhou Guilan led her daughter-in-law and daughter to bake pancakes for two days, just for the convenience of Xu Shiyan to bring meals at this time.

Inside the pancake, there are scallions and bacon.

Bacon is the meat obtained in winter, which is salted and preserved.

Wash it with water when eating, fry it in a pan, and roll it into the pancake. Wouldn’t that be delicious?

Zhou Guilan felt sorry for her son's hard work, and was afraid that his son would lose his strength after eating too much, so she specially rolled two pancakes with meat, and the rest was green onions.

The person next to him smelled the fragrance as soon as he sniffed, and couldn't help asking.

Xu Shiyan didn't know that his mother brought him meat, and it was hard to tell, so he could only fool around.

"Isn't it fragrant? You've been exposed to the sun this morning, have you fainted?"

While talking, he quickly ate the pancakes, then picked up the kettle, and drank a few sips.

Fried biscuits, I always feel not full when I eat them. After drinking some water, I suddenly feel full of stomach.

After eating, everyone smoked a cigarette, rested for a while and started farming again. They were busy until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and then they packed up their tools and went back.

It's six o'clock when I get home, wash my face and change clothes for dinner, and then tease my son after dinner.

"Xu Haiyuan, I warn you, if you cry again, I will beat you up."

Xu Shiyan picked up his son and put him on his lap, and let the little guy lie on his back. The father and son stared at each other.

The boys of the Xu family's younger generation all use the character "Hai" in the middle and three dots of water at the end.

Xu Shiyan didn't read many books, and his nephews used the names that came out of his mouth. The baby had never been named in his previous life, so he didn't know what to name the child.

Later, I found a teacher in the elementary school and named the child Xu Haiyuan.

Anyway, Xu Shiyan thought it sounded good, so he just used it.

Xu Haiyuan was very face-saving today and didn't cry.

At the beginning of May, the weather became warmer, and the little baby was wearing a jacket and trousers, with a diaper on top and no quilt.

The little guy was lying on Xu Shiyan's lap, his two little arms were waving wildly, and his calves were kicking wildly.

Xu Shiyan looked amused, so he kissed his son's fleshy little fist.

As a result, he was accidentally punched in the face by his son.

Xiaowa didn't hit her hard, but Xu Shiyan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, I just threatened you that I was going to beat you up, so give me a shot first, right?"

The little thing on the leg couldn't understand what Xu Shiyan said at all, still waving its small fists, and grinning at Xu Shiyan.

As soon as his son smiled, Xu Shiyan's heart was filled with joy. This kid always cried when he saw him. How could he ever laugh?It is simply rare.

"Mom, Haiyuan smiled at me too." Xu Shiyan hurriedly showed off to his mother happily.

As a result, before he was happy for 2 minutes, he suddenly felt a heat flow on his legs.

Look at it again, okay, son Xiong urinated, and this splash of urine not only wet the diaper, but also wet most of Xu Shiyan's trouser legs.

"Hey, you little bastard, how dare you pee on your dad?"

Xu Shiyan suddenly felt like crying. The pants he just changed this afternoon need to be washed again.

Xu Shiyan spoke a little louder, and when the little boy heard his father yelling at him, he suddenly became unhappy, puckered his mouth, and cried out loudly.

"No, you peed all over me, you have a reason, right?"

Xu Shiyan is speechless, he just wants to get close to his son, why is it so difficult, either crying or peeing all over him?

"What are you yelling? The child is peeing on you to see if you know each other (pouring), know what a fart.

Boy urine, good stuff, beautiful you. "

Zhou Guilan came over to take away her grandson with a smile, and gave her son a supercilious look by the way.Su Anying didn't say anything, just sat there smiling.

Well, don't say anything, anyway, since the birth of his son, his position in the family has fallen to the bottom.

Xu Shiyan got up helplessly, found another pair of trousers to change into, fetched water by himself, rubbed his son's peeed trousers twice, and hung them outside to dry.

Chapter 125 Big Leaf Celery

The Second Brigade has a total of [-] mu of land. Fortunately, there are many people working there.

During the spring plowing season, regardless of gender, even the school takes advantage of the busy farming holiday on May Day, so regardless of the large amount of land, planting is not slow.

In a few days, the large tracts of land were planted, and there were a few people left to finish the work.

After the land in the team has been planted, it is the turn of each family to reserve their own land.

In contrast, private land is more laborious, because there is no plow stick to plow the ground, so you have to plan it yourself with a pickaxe.

It took Xu Shiyan more than three days to plant half an acre of land in Xu's family.

There is no way, one person is digging and digging furrows, and digging and planting, it is too exhausting to go back and forth.

Millet, millet, and two rows of red beans were planted.

The place is small, so I can only grow a little of everything, so I don’t have to worry about eating at home, otherwise I won’t have a place to buy.

Xu's private plot is in Xiaonangou, also south of Paotai Mountain, farther than Datian of the Second Brigade, and close to the root of the mountain.

After working on his own little land, Xu Shiyan saw that it was still early, so he went into the forest to pick big leaf celery.

At the beginning of spring, every household is short of vegetables to eat, and has no choice but to go to the mountains to collect wild vegetables.

In the first ten days of May, all kinds of wild vegetables in the mountains are in good season. You can eat big leaf celery, Yaneryi, Huazijian, mountain broomcorn, mountain spinach, etc.

Among them, Dayeqin is the most popular.

Eczema, also called mountain celery, is a perennial herb that grows in clusters, with turquoise or lavender stems.

The leaves are three obovate compound leaves, the back of the leaf is bright, with small white flowers, which are very similar to the flowers of celery, and the celery has a very special aroma.

Celery can be fried, mixed, or dipped in sauce, and the best thing is to make dumplings.

Before Xu Shiyan was reborn, all kinds of wild vegetables had become pure natural and pollution-free green food.

Every spring, there are piles of wild vegetables in the market, and the big leaf celery costs more than ten yuan a catty.

Even so, many people bought it.

Moreover, some people regard wild vegetables as a good gift for relatives and friends.

Every year at this time, I either buy or go up the mountain to collect some wild vegetables such as celery and send them to relatives and friends far away.

At that time, the express delivery industry was developed, fresh food arrived within two days, and people from far away could taste the delicacy of Northeast China.

But right now, eating wild vegetables is just a desperation choice.

Who let there be nothing but green onions and leeks in the vegetable garden?What else can you eat without wild vegetables?

The dried vegetables in the autumn have already been eaten up, and the potatoes are sprouting and growing, who dares to eat them?

Pickled vegetables all day long, scallions dipped in miso, no one can stand it, who doesn't get red-eyed when they see wild vegetables?

This season, the weeds in the forest are growing wildly, and the little purple, white and yellow flowers in the forest are swaying in the wind.

The young leaves on the branches have just spit out new green, and they have not yet fully unfolded. There are still some yellow-backed shoots, and there is a breath of spring everywhere.

I don't know what kind of bird it is in the forest, it is chirping on the branches, and the chirping is quite pleasant.

On the hillside in the distance, the pink azaleas are just in bloom, bright and moving, as bright as clouds.

Xu Shiyan was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, he just lowered his head and searched among the trees.

Sure enough, not too far into the forest, there are several mounds of big leaf celery in front.

These days, everyone has no choice but to go to the mountains to collect a few vegetables and eat them at home. No one makes money by selling celery.

So the wild vegetables haven't been crushed yet, they are all very thick one by one.

Waiting for another 30 years, there will be more people collecting vegetables on the mountain than vegetables, and the vegetables are as thin as thread, and they are all single.

Use your hands to pull the grass around the celery to the side, then grab the roots, shake it from side to side and pull it down vigorously, and you will have a handful of celery.

After two or three tricks, I couldn't hold it in my hand.

Pick up a piece of bark, or find a file from the ground, also called elderberry or pencil grass, tie up the celeriac, throw it in the bag with rice, and continue walking.

Xu Shiyan was walking forward with his head down, when suddenly a big bird flew up from the grass in front of him.

When Xu Shiyan saw the feathers, he knew it was a hen.

Most pheasants build their nests in bushes or grass. At this time, it is time for pheasants to lay eggs and hatch chicks.

It is estimated that Xu Shiyan came over to pick up the vegetables and surprised the hen pheasant in the nest, so he flew away with a flutter.

Xu Shiyan walked quickly to the grass where the pheasant flew up, searched carefully nearby, and found a nest.

Inside lay six or seven wild eggs with pale green shells a circle smaller than domestic eggs.

The pheasant has already flown away and cannot be caught. It is not winter and it is not easy to catch the pheasant, so just take the eggs and forget about it, the pheasant will lay eggs anyway.

Xu Shiyan was not polite, he picked up the eggs and put them in his pocket.

After picking up seven wild eggs and walking forward to pick up a few handfuls of celery, the slanted pocket couldn't hold anything.

Xu Shiyan had no choice but to walk back, but after walking a few steps, he saw a tuft of grass in front of him.

The grass is very similar to clover, but much smaller, with tender reddish stems, slightly transparent in the sun.

Three small triangular leaves, a bit like a hoe for shoveling the ground.

This kind of grass is called sour hoe board by the locals, and the whole plant is edible. It tastes sour and sweet, and children like it very much.

Xu Shiyan squatted down, picked off the bunch of sour hoe boards, and brought them back to Lao Liu to eat.

That girl loved eating these things since she was a child, and she hasn't changed since she grew up.

Walking a few steps forward, I saw a few more clusters, Xu Shiyan didn't care about those, he took them off and put them carefully in his pocket.

A trip into the mountain was considered fruitful, so Xu Shiyan went down the mountain with his bag on his back and went home contentedly.

When Xu Shiyan came home, he found that Xu Shiqin was also at home, and he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why do you leave work so early today?"

Xu Shiyan remembered that it was almost six o'clock for the sixth child to go home, but it was only five o'clock, so why did he go home?

"Third brother, I have been back at this time for several days, the shop is not busy, so the master asked me to go home early.

You've been busy all day long and didn't come home until late, so I don't know. "

Xu Shiqin was holding a small dress in his hand, and was sewing it stitch by stitch.You don't need to look to know that it was made for that little fellow Xu Haiyuan.

Su Anying's milk is good, that boy Xu Haiyuan was born fat, and he has grown a lot these days, and the clothes he originally made are all too small.

Back when Zhou Guilan and Su Anying were making clothes, they had spare hair.

But no one thought that the child would be so fat when he was born, grow so fast, and the clothes were not big enough, so he had nothing to wear right now.

Xu Shiqin took a torn dress from Su Anying and cut it to make a small suit for his nephew.

It happened that the weather was hot, and the jacket and trousers couldn't be worn, so I simply made it into a single.

"I forgot this morning. I knew I would take it to the store. There are sewing machines in the store. This stuff will make you bald after a few strokes."

As Xu Shiqin said, he sewed the last few stitches, and then bit off the end of the thread.
