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

In late February, there is always a smell that fills the town, just like the smell when people in the village start to poop every year before spring.

At first, Mao Xiaosui thought someone was digging out the latrine, but he found that the smell had been there for several days. Even the restaurants in the town were deserted because of the smell. It was deserted and there were few pedestrians on the street. .

Mao Xiaosui also plowed and planted the vegetable plot at home. Half of it was planted with onions, and most of the rest was planted with green vegetables, leaving only a little for beans.

When Li Yunshan came back in the evening, he scrubbed it first, and then said during dinner, "Second uncle and the others came to defecate today."

Mao Xiaosui said "Yeah" and complained, "The town smells very bad lately."

"Because we have to farm, and many towns have land."

Mao Xiaosui understood, so she said the smell was too obvious, and asked Li Yunshan, "Then can we sell excrement like the Ding family in the future?"

Li Yunshan laughed, "There is no manure in the farm for the time being. After my second uncle finishes it, we will almost have nothing left to plant some vegetables."

He also said, "Pingshun will go to Ding's house to bring piglets in a few days. Then he will bring all the dried rabbit meat and sell it there. The rabbits at the breeding farm will be killed in mid-March. He will have to go there when the weather gets warm." Looking for business."

Mao Xiaosui: "When the time comes, I'll hire those aunts to wash rabbit skins. It will be easy that way."

Li Yunshan nodded, "I'll tell you in advance when the time comes."

_

The stench that permeated the town finally dissipated in early March, and the business of various stalls and restaurants gradually improved.

After Li Yunshan left in the morning, Mao Xiaosui came back with water to wash his clothes and hung the bedding to dry in the yard to beat the dust.

Li Ankang did not go to school today and had already disappeared with Li Ruyi.

Mao Xiaosui was not worried and went to Zhang Qing to buy two bags of cotton while the water was boiling.

When she got home, the water was boiling. She mixed cold water into the basin and was about to wash it. When the old lady came in, she saw her washing clothes and sat down to help.

The old lady's stomach was full these days, and she looked energetic. Although her eyesight was not good, her strength was good. She picked up the cotton clothes that were heavy in the water, and started washing them with soap nuts.

It was a bit too crowded for two people, so Mao Xiaosui said, "You sit down, I'll wash it."

"You go about your business." The old lady said.

When Mao Xiaosui saw this, he simply cut the cloth and sewed the quilt. Before Li Yunshan came back, he had been crowded with Zhao Hui or Ding Pingshun. They were both men and occupied the space. It was probably uncomfortable to fall asleep, so as long as he was not particularly tired, he could I choose to go home.

Wait until he brings the bedding over this year so that he can sleep comfortably without having to rush home.

At noon, she fried the remaining half of the cabbage and made some millet noodles. After eating, while Mao Xiaosui was washing the pot, the old lady came again and helped diligently with the work.

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Have the vegetables been planted?"

"It's planted." The old lady smiled and said, "Qin An planted it."

Qin An has moved to the old lady's house, and the rented yard there has been planted with vegetables.

In the afternoon, Li Ruyi and Li Ankang woke up and started writing from memory.

Mao Xiaosui planned to pat the bedding in the yard again, but when he walked out the door, he saw a little head popping in.

Mao Xiaosui knew that the girl was Zhang Keyan, Zhang Cheng's daughter, so he smiled and said, "They are writing."

Zhang Keyan had big eyes and walked in with a "hmm" sound. Only then did Mao Xiaosui see the book in her arms.

He immediately pointed to the side room and said, "Go in." Zhang Keyan smiled at her and ran into the house.

The bedding and clothes that had been washed all winter lasted until night. The old lady's wrists hurt from washing, and the yard was even splashed with water, making it a little muddy.

When Li Yunshan came in, the mushrooms were simmering in the pot, and Mao Xiaosui was kneading the dough.

Seeing the happy smile on his face, I casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yunshan smiled and replied, "This year's first rabbit nest has already come out of the nest."

Mao Xiaosui was also happy after hearing this: "Your idea is really good."

"Thanks to you."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and replied, "The method you came up with is naturally your credit."

Li Yunshan: "I only remembered it that day when you were talking about mud kang."

The two stopped arguing about this. Li Yunshan said, "It's warmer this year than in previous years. Ask the aunts if it's okay to wash rabbit skins. If it's okay, we'll kill the rabbits immediately."

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "I'll ask tomorrow."

It was surprisingly cold in the river at the moment, but when Mao Xiaosui asked, they still agreed.

She went back to Qinxiang and asked Qinxiang to inform the others, but she ignored Widow Qian.

In the afternoon, Widow Qian still knew that she was looking for her.

Mao Xiaosui didn't like her because of what happened before. Widow Qian's expression looked normal now, and she was no longer as stubborn as before.

Apologize as soon as you enter the door, "I didn't do well before. I made things difficult for you and caused you trouble. I won't do it again. I really need the rabbit-skin job. Please..."

Mao Xiaosui didn't insist on arguing with her. If there was a stalemate, he would say with a cold face, "I won't hire someone with no sense of proportion like you."

Widow Qian still repeated her apology. She felt that it was almost done, and then Mao Xiaosui said, "Wait at the alley the day after tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Widow Qian left after getting the affirmative answer. Tupi must be careful not to make any mistakes, so Li Ruyi and Li Ankang had to trouble the old lady again about eating.

The old lady, who had been a widow for most of her life, was very fond of children. When she went to talk about it in the evening, she even agreed.

In the morning, when he and Li Yunshan arrived at the alley after dinner, others had already arrived.

On the road, he and Li Yunshan were walking in front, and the group of people followed behind. Mao Xiaosui could vaguely hear what they were talking about about gambling.

Unable to hold back my curiosity, I turned around and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Liu Xiu's man started gambling, drinking, and beating people all by himself. Liu Xiu's life is really hard..."

Liu Xiu, who washed the rabbit skins last time, was also there. He was not very old, in his early twenties, with seniors and juniors. He worked hard and quickly, and was honest, but he didn't come this time...

Just listen to Chen Yue say, "She beat her man to death and he couldn't get out of bed."

Mao Xiaosui frowned, "Didn't that man earn any money?"

"I had it before. I heard that my problem with gambling was deceived by others. I was a good person before. Although my life was tight, it was the life of an ordinary person. Now I can't get through it. I'm cheating on Liu Xiu every day. Borrowing money from everywhere, I heard that people from the gambling room came to collect debts last night..."

Mao Xiaosui shook his head when he heard this. It was indeed right to ban gambling. This thing is very harmful to people.
