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

It snowed again a few days after the house was opened, and the weather, which had not been getting warmer, suddenly became cold again.

When Li Yunshan came back in the afternoon, there was already a layer on the ground. It was not thick but it was very slippery when walking.

Mao Xiaosui poured him a bowl of hot water and felt strange, "What's going on this year? Is there too much snow? It's almost March."

"It snowed before after spring planting, but the weather was not that cold." Li Yunshan warmed his hands with a bowl in his hands and said, "There should be a lot of rain this year."

Mao Xiaosui thought that based on this amount of snow, he estimated that it would be snowy every month.

The snow lasted for four days and stopped on the fifth day. As soon as the sun came up after dinner, Wang Qingshan called Li Yunshan from below.

Li Yunshan took the things and left, saying, "You need to use snow water for cooking at noon. I will come back to carry it in the evening."

Mao Xiaosui waved his hand to let him go and said, "I'll handle it myself."

After Li Yunshan left, Mao Xiaosui washed the two children's diapers and wiped their buttocks. After packing them up, Mao Xiaosui walked out with the bucket.

The snow had just stopped and it was still clean now. She ran to the field to dig with a basin, put it in a small pot and heated it up, then melted it little by little with water.

A bucket of water is only a soup basin after it is dissolved, which is not even enough to cook a meal.

She ran back and forth to save more water, and when she came back with two buckets, she saw Heizi standing on the edge of the kang, with Li Ruyi screaming and screaming lying on her body.

She suddenly felt frightened, threw the bucket on the ground, ran over and picked up Li Ruyi.

He originally wanted to get half a tank of water, but he didn't dare to go there now, so Heizi watched the baby go and block the courtyard door by himself.

In March, the weather finally warmed up, and the snow on the ground melted due to the direction of the sun, but the ground was frozen in the morning and evening.

At that time, we agreed to work together. When everyone in the village started to poop, their family pooped first.

They did the work in the fields. After Mao Xiaosui put the child to sleep, Heizi watched him dig the fields and plant vegetables.

Because there was room for raising pigs, Mao Xiaosui set aside a place flush with the chicken pen, and dug up all the green onions in the ground and planted them.

After flipping through it for a while, Mao Mingzhu came, looked around the backyard for a while, and asked, "Do you still have a shovel? I'll dig it for you too."

"Have you finished looking through your house?"

Mao Mingzhu nodded, "It turned out a few days ago."

Mao Xiaosui handed the one in his hand to her, went to the woodshed to get another shovel, and asked her, "Which one do you want?"

"It's just wooden." Mao Mingzhu started digging very quickly, without even having to rest in the middle.

The pigsty took up part of it, and the rest could be finished in the afternoon.

Listening to Wang Jin and others talking, Mao Mingzhu put the shovel against the wall, and then said, "I'll come back in the afternoon, and you can also clean up and cook."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui also locked the door and returned to the front yard.

I haven’t been willing to eat the steamed buns and meat made during the Chinese New Year, but there are still a lot left.

She heated a plate of chicken, put the steamed buns on the clay stove to heat, and made an egg and mushroom soup.

He had long heard Li Yunshan talking outside, and shouted when no one came in.

Li Yunshan came in not long after, and he smelled a stench before he even got close to Mao Xiaosui.

The dung used in the spring is all from the previous year, and it is covered with soil, so the smell is naturally there, but it is not so pungent.

She immediately covered her nose and asked, "Did you fall into a pit?"

Li Yunshan lowered his head and smelled his body, "Is there any more?"

She nodded and heard Li Yunshan say, "I smell it too, but my body is clean and the soles of my feet are also wiped clean."

Mao Xiaosui pointed to the side room and said, "I'll light the fire. You take a bath first."

She quickly pulled hay, lit the clay stove, and went to the kitchen to boil water.

After tossing and drying the steamed buns, Mao Xiaosui cut them into small pieces, poured some sesame oil into the pot, fried them, and added some salt to taste.

Li Yunshan took a bite with his hands and found that it was quite fragrant.

Mao Xiaosui took a spoon for him to eat, and then made some steamed buns in soup to feed the baby.

Li Yunshan went to bed after dinner. Mao Xiaosui burned some snow and washed his clothes and shoes to dry.

She also went to bed and lay down for a while. When Li Yunshan got up and left, she also woke up.

Both children took long naps, and she was not worried even if Heizi was watching.

I went to the backyard to dig the vegetable patch. I had just dug three shovels when Mao Mingzhu came and said, "Why didn't you call me? If Yunshan hadn't said you were awake too, I would have thought you were asleep."

"I'm afraid you won't wake up." Mao Xiaosui said, "There's not much left. I can finish it in the afternoon."

Mao Mingzhu picked up the shovel and walked towards the empty area. Mao Xiaosui hurriedly said, "Don't dig it because it's empty."

"Why not dig?" Mao Mingzhu was confused. "How can you make money with nothing? It would be great to grow some vegetables and sell them."

Mao Xiaosui laughed when she said, "We don't earn money, but we have to keep it to build pig pens."

"Your family wants to raise pigs?"

Hearing the unusual flavor in her words, Mao Xiaosui just said, "I got one on credit from the pork shop. Li Yunshan said that I can pay back the money at the end of the year or pay the bill with fish."

"I still think you bought it."

"I don't have money to buy it at the moment. Li Yunshan said that the grain in the field is still short of fertilizer. He plans to raise a pig and try to apply more fertilizer next year to see if it can grow better. The family must eat meat after all. When the time comes, he will sell some of it and keep some at home. It can last for two or three years..."

"That's right." Mao Mingzhu laughed, "Then the pork shop is willing to take credit?"

"They can be considered acquaintances. You know that Yunshan guy, he looks bluffing, but he has a kind heart." Mao Xiaosui said, "And that guy and Yunshan have known each other for a long time because of buying fish. Yunshan always did his business in the past. , this trust is still there.”

"Yes." Mao Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions.

Mao Xiaosui sighed silently, feeling complicated.

The ground is too wet, and it will take some time before the manure can be planted.

On this day, instead of waiting for the ground to dry, we waited for the first rain of spring.

The rain in the beginning of spring is no different from the rain in late autumn. People are shivering in the same cold weather.

Mao Xiaosui brought the eggs back from the backyard and said to Li Yunshan, who was lying on the kang, "It's really cold this year, and the chickens don't lay eggs very much. In previous years, at least seven or eight would have started laying eggs at this time."

"How many are there today?" Li Yunshan asked.

"Three." Mao Xiaosui knocked two into the bowl.

The children are hungry very quickly. After eating breakfast, lunch and dinner, she will add another meal in the afternoon. Steamed eggs are the most nutritious and their favorite food.

After feeding, Li Yunshan played with him for a while. It was getting dark, but it was early.

Mao Xiaosui first soaked the porridge in the pot, then went to the backyard to cut some green onions and knead the salted green onions.

When I'm ready, I plan to go to bed and lie down for a while.

Just as she was taking off her shoes, she saw Li Ruyi and Li Ankang, who were playing on Li Yunshan, stopped and stared at her.

Li Yunshan sighed and cursed, "You heartless brat, you only want your mother and not your father."

Mao Xiaosui climbed up with a smile. As soon as he lay down, the two of them climbed over. Li Ruyi also pushed Li Ankang.

Li Ankang shouted "Ahhh..." to Li Ruyi, and opened his mouth to bite Li Ruyi's pouted butt. Fortunately, Li Yunshan caught him in time.
