Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

In modern times, if you want fertile land, you can buy various organic fertilizers, but this is ancient times.

Yan Xia was thinking crazily in his mind about how to make the land more productive.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally remembered that when she was seven or eight years old, her grandparents were still alive. At that time, in order to make money to support her younger brother, her parents went to work in the city as a family of three, leaving her to be raised by her grandparents. .

Her grandparents were out-and-out farmers who had worked hard in the fields all their lives. Compared to her parents, who favored sons over daughters, her grandparents were very kind to her.

When she was a child, Yan Xia would always run to the fields to deliver water and meals to them after school.

She also clearly remembers that her grandmother told her to mix straw, fallen leaves and dead branches and burn them into plant ash, then mix the dung water that has been soaked for a month and ferment it for three days, add a ratio of water to it and sprinkle it evenly. On plowed land.

After two days, plow the ground again and start planting.

The yield of crops grown in this way will at least double.

"Mom, you can't plant there. I heard that there are often wild animals wandering around the outside of the mountain. Erya told me that she once went to collect mushrooms and saw a grizzly bear. It was too dangerous. It's better to go to a farther river. Is there land reclamation along the embankment?"

Lamei's face turned pale with fright.

"How do you plant by the river bank? You silly girl, if it rains, the water level will rise and all our crops will be flooded -" Jin Fu was speechless. He had been going to the fields as long as he could remember.

Knows more about nature than wintersweet.

"Your elder brother is right. You can't farm by the river embankment. Just farm under that high mountain. It'll be fine. If a wild beast really came down the mountain, Baihua Village would have been wiped out long ago. How could it still be so peaceful?"

Yan Xia is not afraid.

Helpless, her own mother had already spoken, so Lamei had no choice but to follow suit.

After arriving at the destination, the family worked until noon. It was already June, the weather was getting hot, the sun was shining, and several people were sweating all over. When they went down with a hoe, the mud covered with weeds was turned over. When it comes out, the brown soil covers the green grass. The roots of the weeds are exposed to the sun and will die in a day at most.

After burning incense, several people finally plowed the last piece of land.

"Go home and cook, it's killing me."

Yan Xia has not done farm work for several years, and her body is very thin, which really wears her out.

"Jin Lu, you carry my hoe, and I'll go to the river to get a pot of water." After Jin Fu handed the farm tools to his brother, he walked to the river. When he came, he took a wooden basin and waited. You can wash rice, cook porridge, and wash vegetables with water.

Very thoughtful.

Yan Xia nodded with satisfaction.

She was very glad that she came at the right time. Fortunately, these cubs had grown up. It would have been really painful if she had traveled back in time to the time when the original owner had just married.

Return to the temple.

Osmanthus and Wintersweet took the initiative to cook, while Yan Xia just lay on the bed and rested.

When the eldest son came back, he thoughtfully poured her a bowl of water.

At this time, Yan Xia drank it all regardless of whether it was raw water or not.

She was really thirsty to death.

"Mom, can we just have green vegetable and brown rice porridge for lunch? If that's not enough, we can also have some cornmeal steamed buns." Osmanthus asked her.

"This doesn't have any taste. How can I do without salt after doing farm work for so long? I have two pieces of bacon here. You can take them and cook them together. It will taste better, but I don't have a knife, otherwise it would be better to cut them into cubes. eat."

She stood up from the bed, repeated her old trick, took out two pieces of bacon from the package and handed them to Guihua.

"Mom, there are only a few pieces of bacon in the kitchen. You brought them all. Haha, if the old woman sees it when she wakes up, she will probably be furious. I really want to see her reaction." Lamei covered her stomach and laughed.

"Okay, stop talking and start your fire properly. There is no stove here. Be careful. If this ruined temple is set on fire, we will have to sleep on the street." Jin Fu patted Wintersweet's head gently.

"Mom, let's just bake one piece. Save this piece for two days before eating it." These two pieces of bacon are the smallest, only half a palm in size. It is probably not enough for five people. But there is not much food at home, so Osmanthus thinks it is better to save money. OK.

"Whatever, you just have to make the decision yourself."

Yan Xia returned to the bed and continued to lie down with her legs crossed, looking like she didn't care.

The four children saw the huge difference between their mother and daughter, but they didn't have any doubts. They liked their current mother better than the submissive mother before.

I only thought that Yan Xia changed so much because she was bullied.

After cooking the rice with sweet-scented osmanthus and wintersweet, the five of them gathered around holding bowls and ate big bites.

There are no tables or benches here, it’s just a bare house.

But this meal tasted particularly delicious.

A large pot full of bacon, vegetables and brown rice porridge was eaten cleanly, not even a grain of rice was left.

After the meal, the four of them took the casserole dishes and chopsticks to the river to wash them.

Yan Xia lay on the bed and took a nap.

The family here is quiet and warm, but the Chen family is in trouble.

It turned out that Mrs. Chen Li came to her senses. When she learned that Yan Xia and Li Hou had taken away four grandchildren, she was so angry that she cursed her. Her mood swings were so severe that she fainted again.

Chen Jinshou stayed in the room silently and did not come out. At this time, he was simply a living target.

I want to ask him why he doesn't go with his mother.

That's because grandma once promised him that she would use part of his father's money to marry him and have children, as long as he told grandma what his mother and younger brothers and sisters were whispering.

He did indeed do it, so the original owner was beaten so many times and never thought that she would actually give birth to a son who betrayed him.

Besides, Chen Jinshou didn't want to live in a ruined temple. He fell in love with a girl, Shi Xiaohe, who lived at the end of the village.

Shi Xiaohe's parents are both dead. She has lived with her grandfather since she was a child. She has reached the age of getting married and is looking at her family.

I heard that the bride price is as high as three taels of silver.

Shi Xiaohe is beautiful. Her wheat-colored skin does not affect her delicate facial features at all. Every frown and smile is particularly attractive. She has a slightly plump figure and a butt that could give birth to a son. Especially since she is a good cook and is self-taught. For embroidery work, one embroidered handkerchief can be sold for eight copper coins on weekdays. If you embroider five handkerchiefs a month, that's a full forty copper coins.

There are twelve months in a year, and you can earn forty in one month. That’s four ounces of money and eighty copper coins in a year, which is nearly half a tael of silver.

For an ordinary farmer, it would be pretty good if he could save two taels of silver a year.

With this extra income, the family can live a better life. In addition, Shi Xiaohe's grandfather is already old, probably only in the past two years, so there is no need to worry about her helping her parents' family in the future.

All the men of the right age in the village looked at her covetously.

If he and his mother went to live in a ruined temple, they might never be able to marry Shi Xiaohe in this life.

Chen Jinshou clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Mom...don't blame your son. You also want your son to have a family, right? Your son will take back everything that belongs to his father."

He muttered to the air.

It seems like this makes me feel better.
