The snow stopped falling in early February, and the sun came out for seven or eight days and the weather became warmer.

Mao Xiaosui ran up the mountain while there were still leaves on the mountain.

Not only her, but also the women in the village started to get busy.

There are countless leaves all over the mountain, but they are all in a hurry, as if they are robbing money for fear that it will be too late.

The place where the fungus was usually dug was almost dug, so Mao Xiaosui walked towards the Japonica tree.

As I was digging the leaves into a pile, I heard the sound of crunching snow behind me. The sound was very light, and it was obvious that no one could step on it.

She was so frightened that she quickly turned around and found that it was Heizi who was following her.

Heizi was peeing on a tree not far away from her. Mao Xiaosui glanced at it and looked away, cursing, "You don't know how to scream, you want to scare me to death."

Heizi called out, circled around her and entered the forest.

When she pretended to be carrying the leaves and walked back, she still didn't see Heizi coming back. She called out twice and could only listen to Heizi waiting at a relatively far place to reply to her.

She ignored it and walked back carrying the leaves. When she was about to go down the mountain, she heard a lot of noise in the village.

Her steps were much faster. When she came out of the mountain, she saw a woman carrying a basket standing on the edge of the field. At the same time, she also heard clearly that the person quarreling at this time was Liu Yun. She did not recognize the voice of the other woman.

"Who is it?" she walked over and asked.

Li Lianxin replied, "It seems that Zhang Chunxiang's sister-in-law came, and the second mistress drove her out with a stick."

"Is the relationship bad?"

"I haven't heard of it." Li Lianxin was also puzzled, "Zhang Chunxiang is only a year ahead of you, and I haven't seen her mother's family since she got married."

Mao Mingzhu said, "At first glance, I am here to fight the autumn breeze."

When Mao Xiaosui heard the words, he didn't listen anymore. He carried the leaves on his back and went to the mountain again.

Mao Mingzhu and Yang Cui also followed her.

Mao Mingzhu asked, "Are you going to the fields early this year?"

"It depends on the situation." She glanced at Yang Cui casually, and saw that her eyes were lowered and her expression was unclear.

Yang Cui had this look since she was in the venue just now, as if he was deliberately ignoring her.

She sneered in her heart and said to Mao Mingzhu, "I'm going to work first."

Mao Mingzhu said "Oh", "Let's go together."

Mao Xiaosui said, "I want to go to a place further ahead."

"Why are you running so far away?" He said and followed him.

There was still a small pile of unfinished leaves she had just plowed, and Yang Cui walked over quickly just as she thought about going there.

Mao Xiaosui stopped and Mao Mingzhu, who was originally talking, stopped immediately after seeing this.

Mao Xiaosui went to the front immediately, and Mao Mingzhu cursed Yang Cui in a low voice behind him.

She just pretended not to hear, digging snow, plowing leaves, and filling bags.

After she finished doing it with Mao Mingzhu, the two of them finished doing it, and walked back together. She occasionally responded to Mao Mingzhu's words on the way, and the noisy sounds in the village stopped when they went down the mountain.

She told Mao Mingzhu and went home.

Li Yunshan was washing the rabbit skin. Seeing that her expression was not good, he asked, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head and put her hand directly on the clay stove to warm it.

When the numbness in my hands disappeared and became burning, I wiped the dirt off my body with a wet cloth and went to wash my hands and cook.

It's not easy to get hungry when you have free time, so she cooked porridge and fried dried beans with oil residue.

_

I was busy from the beginning of February to the end of February. I prepared a lot of leaves at home, and Li Yunshan’s rabbit skins were almost packed.

Zhao Hui came the night before Li Yunshan planned to go to Ding's house to defecate.

The sun had set, and Mao Xiaosui's noodles had gone into the pot before he came in from the door.

Heizi was very happy to see him, and his tail wagged a few times.

She only fried a plate of dried beans today, which was not enough when Zhao Hui came.

Li Yunshan went to get two rabbits and chopped them up quickly. Mao Xiaosui poured the noodles into the basin and stewed the rabbit meat.

Zhao Hui was a little embarrassed. When Mao Xiaosui served the rice, he kept saying, "It's too much."

The two kids didn't eat much to begin with, so they stopped eating noodles when there was meat. Mao Xiaosui also filled half a bowl for himself and said, "I'll make it if it's not enough. I'm not full at home."

Zhao Hui smiled and said nothing more.

After dinner, Mao Xiaosui went to the side room to light the kang and the clay stove. He took out the bedding from the cupboard and laid it out.

In the house, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui were still eating meat. She washed the pot and swept the floor.

It took a while for the kang to heat up after it was lit, so we sat there until it was completely dark before we each went to sleep.

After dinner in the morning, Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui set off.

Mao Xiaosui planned to wash the soaked rabbit skin, but Mao Mingzhu just came over.

When I walked in, I asked, "What are Yunshan and the others doing with their empty cart?"

"Go to the butcher's shop and buy manure."

Mao Mingzhu looked very surprised: "Your family has a lot of feces this year, do you still want to buy it?"

She nodded.

Mao Mingzhu asked again, "How much should I buy?"

"Li Yunshan said it was ten carts. We will plant wheat this year and we will need a lot of manure."

"How much is a car?" Mao Mingzhu asked, "Can you use it all after buying so much?"

"It's all used up." She smiled and said, "Forty coppers per car."

"It's so expensive."

"What's not expensive in the ground?" Mao Xiaosui sighed, "It can't grow well without dung, so dung is naturally expensive."

Mao Mingzhu frowned, hesitated for a while, stood up and said, "I'll ask your uncle too."

"It's too late." She said, "We have ordered all the manure for this year. Except for what the Ding family needs for their own use, it may not be enough for ten carts."

"Have you finished booking?" Mao Mingzhu sat down again.

Mao Xiaosui still nodded, "The Ding family has a lot of land, and they also have a lot of dung. Yunshan said they had ten carts, but I guess it's not enough. It's a little worse."

Mao Mingzhu looked still hesitant, and left after sitting for a while.

Li Yunshan and Zhao Hui never came back after they left. Mao Xiaosui cooked the meal near noon. After waiting for a while, he saw the two men coming back with a mule and a cart. There were traces of dung on the cart, but the cart was empty.

"Where's the feces?" she asked.

"Just drag the land away." Zhao Hui said, "Pull the family and then drag it over to waste time."

Li Ruyi came out of the house, threw herself into Li Yunshan's arms and said, "I want to go to Pingshun brother's house too."

"You can calm down." Mao Xiaosui said helplessly, "Your brother Pingshun has a job and has no time to accompany you. Besides, how old are you? He and you can't play together. You can't find Ping An and Ping Sui. Why are you bothering Pingshun?"

Li Ruyi ignored her words.

Li Yunshan pushed her out of him and said, "It's time to wait, the Ding family is also busy."

Li Ruyi nodded and said, "I'm dirty when I wanted to hug Li Yunshan again."

Li Ruyi took his hand instead and walked home anxiously.

Mao Xiaosui poured the boiled water in the pot into a basin for them to wash up, and then boiled another pot.

Boil the water and cut into slices, then serve the fried mushrooms and beans.

There was drinking water boiled in the morning in the jar, and Li Yunshan poured a bowl each for him and Zhao Hui.

After dinner, the two took time to rest.

Mao Xiaosui brushed the remaining leather and soaked it in soapy water, then took a shovel and went to dig the vegetable patch in the backyard.

After a brief squinting, the two of them were about to leave again.

Li Yunshan said, "You bake some pancakes tonight."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui said, "I'll steam the steamed buns for you."

Li Yunshan responded, and he and Zhao Hui pulled the cart and mule away. Not long after they left, they heard Wang Qingshan call Li Yunshan.

She couldn't hear what was being said and didn't care. After digging for a while, she went to the kitchen to make noodles and steam buns.

I also chopped two pieces of rabbit meat at home, put lard in the pot, burned the oil and threw it in directly for frying.

Fry until browned and dry, then take it out to control the oil.
