Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The autumn harvest ended in August and passed by unknowingly. When Wang Jin and others helped pull back the millet, she had already collected some intermittently.

Before leaving, Wang Jin said to Li Yunshan, "You can get the millet for the next few days. When you're done, chop wood for a few days and then come and help me."

"Okay." Li Yunshan sent them out.

The sun had not set yet, so the two of them piled the grain into small piles and placed them at the door.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Would you like to wash yourself and go to sleep?"

Li Yunshan shook his head, "I'll go to the mountain for a trip and come back to carry water."

"It's enough for the evening." Mao Xiaosui said.

"I'm not very tired today." Li Yunshan took the bucket and left.

Mao Xiaosui went to the backyard, pinched the beans and put them on a dustpan to dry, pulled out the roots, and dug the ground with a shovel.

Li Yunshan came back very quickly, almost as soon as he went up. There were a lot of fish in the bucket, as well as a few shrimps and crabs.

After pouring the fish into the water tank, he went to fetch water. Mao Xiaosui turned over the ground and planted seeds. After finishing the work, the sun went down. Li Yunshan lay on the bed and played with the children.

Mao Xiaosui asked him in the yard, "What do you want to eat?"

"Fish soup." Li Yunshan replied.

Mao Xiaosui caught a fish and took it out to the kitchen to get a knife. He found two killed fish in the basin, so he threw them back.

Simmer the beans and rice first, and then start cooking the fish soup.

There wasn't much sesame oil left at home, so she fried it in lard. She fried two eggs first and then the fish. She added water and started boiling, then washed and threw in the fungi.

The fish soup cooks quickly and becomes fragrant in a short time.

She moved the table back to the main room, brought the fish soup and drank it while waiting for the meal.

Li Yunshan took a few sips of the soup and said, "After dinner, I will put on the stove and smoke it before going to bed.

It was a bit cold in the morning and evening at this time. The two children had neither thick clothes nor small thick quilts. They were also covered with Li Yunshan's clothes, so she nodded and said, "It's time to buy cotton."

"know."

After dinner, the two of them carried the clay stove over and installed it.

Mao Xiaosui also changed the child's thin clothes into thick cotton clothes for her and Li Yunshan.

The bed was big enough to sleep two, so she put the two children together and covered them with clothes.

The clay stove was already lit, and soon the room was warm.

Mao Xiaosui boiled water on the small pot stand, and when the water was hot, he mixed it with cold water and scrubbed it.

Li Yunshan went to bed first, and after Mao Xiaosui finished washing, he fell asleep.

She threw a piece of firewood into the clay oven and sat beside it to dry her hair. After cleaning up, it was already getting late and she quickly went to bed.

It was time to dry the millet in the morning. After feeding the chickens and rabbits, Li Yunshan swept the yard and put the millet pieces in the yard to dry with the ears facing up.

It didn't rain when we were harvesting, so the millet was dry. It's just that it gets wet when it gets cold at night, so it's easier to put it away.

After dinner, Li Yunshan went to the mountain, and Mao Xiaosui went to harvest grass seeds, and only started to collect the millet after returning.

According to the method last year, beat it with a stick first, and then peel it by stepping on it.

In the middle of her work, she suddenly remembered something, took the dustpan and knife to the backyard, and came back with a dustpan full of green onions.

I washed the onions and shook them with water, then put them in a dustpan at an angle and placed it on the bench to control the water. I blocked the doors and windows and got back to work.

Near noon, Li Yunshan dragged the wood back and threw it at the door. He went into the house to drink some water and left again.

After three trips in a row, all the millet that was dried in the morning was finished, and it was already past dinner time.

She made stewed beans, scrambled a plate of eggs and made mushroom and egg drop soup.

After eating and drinking, Li Yunshan went to bed first. She sifted the grains in the yard and put them away, then pulled the ones standing in the corner and put them away.

When she was about to go to sleep, Li Yunshan had already woken up. He was still confused. He put on his shoes and walked out. When he reached the door, he said as if he had regained consciousness, "I'm going to the mountain."

Mao Xiaosui said "Yeah", turned over and fell asleep.

She couldn't sleep well when there was a lot of work at home, and she would wake up after squinting for a while.

The two babies also woke up. She changed their diapers and hugged each other for a while before going to work.

As soon as he went out, he saw Heizi running over with a mountain rat in his mouth.

He stood at the door and looked around, and finally hid in the haystack.

Mao Xiaosui fed some grass to the chickens and rabbits, and when he was about to thresh the millet, he remembered that he had not rubbed the onions, so he quickly washed his hands and went to rub the onions again.

Rub the onions and put them in a jar, drink another bowl of water before going to work.

Li Yunshan came back early in the afternoon dragging the wood. After sitting for a while, he went to the mountain again. When he came back, it was dark, with fish in the bucket and half a basket of mushrooms on his back.

The clay stove in the main room was already lit. When Li Yunshan came in, she said, "You skinned Heizi's mountain rat and put it in the haystack."

Li Yunshan went out with the knife, reached in and dug out four.

While they were peeling, Heizi ran over from the other side of the field again. Now his belly felt round. He must have eaten a lot in the afternoon.

Li Yunshan hung the peeled mountain rat under the pepper tree and scrubbed it while Mao Xiaosui was kneading the dough.

Mao Xiaosui was also a little tired, so he stopped cooking. He made some noodles, ate some noodles, washed himself and went to bed.

I woke up twice in the middle of the night. When I opened my eyes in the morning, it was already bright. The room was very warm, the fire in the clay stove was burning brightly, and the small pot on the side was steaming.

Li Yunshan had already gone up the mountain, and the millet had been dried in the yard. She ate quickly and went to thresh grass seeds, and then she came back to get millet.

As the days pass, there are not many people threshing millet in the field this year. Most of them are women doing it at home, while men clean up the house and chop down trees.

Li Yunshan cut for six days in a row, and the leftovers from last year were enough to survive the winter.

After eating in the morning, Li Yunshan changed into clean clothes and went to the town.

Mao Xiaosui called him "Buy the oil."

Li Yunshan just raised his hand and quickly walked away downhill.

This year’s autumn harvest was a great day, not a drop of rain fell, and the weather was surprisingly nice.

When Mao Mingzhu came up, she was stepping on the wooden blocks to collect the millet that she didn't get yesterday.

Mao Mingzhu went into the house to take a look at the child. After a while, she came out and said, "Don't you prepare cotton-padded clothes for the child? Even if there is a fire in the house, it must be wrong."

"We need to prepare." Mao Xiaosui said, "Li Yunshan went to the town to buy cotton."

"I thought you didn't have enough money to buy cotton." Mao Mingzhu said.

Mao Xiaosui was stunned when he heard this, and then heard her say again, "It's good to have it, otherwise we will find a way to get some money for you, and we can't let the child freeze."

Mao Xiaosui looked at her face, and when he saw that she didn't look unhappy, he relaxed his tense face and replied with a smile, "Save some, I can't survive the winter without cotton-padded clothes."

"That's good." Mao Mingzhu asked her to come down and helped her step on it for a while.

I stayed to help during the sifting and didn't leave until it was time to cook at noon.

After she left, Mao Xiaosui belatedly realized that Mao Mingzhu had come to help.

After lunch, Li Yunshan hadn't come back yet. Mao Xiaosui left the rice to be heated by the clay stove. When he was about to get busy, Mao Mingzhu came again.

Mao Xiaosui asked her with a smile, "Aren't you going to the mountain today?"

"I see you haven't finished the rice yet, so come over and help."

"Not much left." Mao Xiaosui said, "It will be finished the day after tomorrow."

Mao Mingzhu replied, "It's faster for two of us."

Mao Xiaosui knew that she was asking Li Yunshan to help, so he happily agreed.
