After a simple rebirth

When Fu Ying returned home in the afternoon, she found that Fu Yu was not in a good mood and was obviously very tired. Holding Wang Ruiya, Fu Ying asked Fu Yu.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well today after getting up early. I wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but Wang Ruixuan didn't want to sleep. When Wang Ruixuan fell asleep, the two older ones got up again."

Fu Ying understood that it was mainly because taking care of three children was tiring.

Fu Ying listened to Fu Yu's mother's advice that children should be born one after another, with the older ones taking care of the younger ones. They will grow up and no longer need to be taken care of when they go to school.

Fu Yu did give birth to the children one after another. It seems that Fu Yu only needs to take care of the three children. The two older ones don't need to be held all the time, they can walk and play by themselves. There is a washing machine to wash clothes, and there is no need to plant too much land. She just needs to cook for the children. It seems that she doesn't need to worry too much.

But being a full-time mom is really tiring, both physically and mentally.

The older two didn't need to be held, but they quarreled easily. Once they quarreled, they would fight and cry loudly, and Fu Yu would be the judge. Fu Yu would either scold both of them or ignore them. It was impossible to really find out who was right or wrong. Children easily felt that their mothers were biased, so they could only be punished with fifty lashes each.

The younger one is also at the age of fluttering around, crawling around and not at all restless.

If you really let those good talkers take care of children for a day, they will either be driven crazy by the children, or be like Fu Ma, where they play yours and I play mine, as long as nothing serious happens.

Fu Ying likes children very much, but she would be very tired if she had to take care of three children all day.

She had worked as a kindergarten teacher and knew very well that kindergarten teachers also had tiring jobs, but there were fixed class times, eating times, and game times at work, and they could still take a break, and there were more than one teacher like her.

Taking care of children at home? You can sleep when the child is asleep, but you feel it is a pity to sleep at that time. When you have played enough and want to sleep, the child wakes up, and you drag your tired body to play with the child.

Fu Ying thought about it and realized that Fu Yu was a little better when he was in Guangdong Province, and a big reason for this was because he had TV.

From an educational perspective, it is right to let children watch less cartoons that do not have any nutritional value. However, from a practical perspective, only by using cartoons to attract their attention can parents free up some time to do other things.

It's not like Fu Ying didn't think of buying educational toys for Wang Ruizhong and the other two to play with, but they faced the same problem. Toys are prone to disputes, and children sometimes just like to fight over which one to play with, so adults have to watch over them. Fu Yu couldn't keep up with them.

"Sister, why don't you go buy a TV? They love watching cartoons. If we don't buy one, they might go to other people's houses every day, which is not good. We have our own TV at home, you can watch it during the week, so dad won't be so bored during the New Year."

Fu Ying recommended that Fu Yu buy a TV. Large-screen TVs were not so popular at that time, and small TVs were not expensive.

"No need for that. If we buy them a TV, they will have to watch it every day." Fu Yu's first reaction was to refuse.

"It's not a big deal to buy one. They are not familiar with other children in their hometown, and they don't have classmates to play with before they go to school. Fu Zhe and I went to school, and they are bored at home.

At that time, you can also set the time for watching movies. For example, they can watch it for a while in the morning before school, or in the afternoon after waking up.

If they watch TV appropriately, they will not only envy other families for having TV, but also gradually develop their awareness of rules and improve their self-discipline. When they go to school, they will be able to quickly adapt to the school's rules of classes and dismissal."

"I'm not worried about their adaptability. They've had no problems after being back for so long. But they do want to go to other people's houses to watch TV.

I'll go to the market in a couple of days and buy one if it's suitable." Fu Yu also changed his mind.

When Fu Yu went to the market on Saturday, he bought some mulberry seedlings. They were indeed a little bigger and had some green leaves on them.

They also brought back a TV as big as the computer screen in an Internet cafe. Before they even installed it, Wang Ruizhong and Wang Ruiya were already jumping up and down.

"There's a TV! I have a new TV at home!"

"Move aside, the TV isn't ready yet. Don't break it, or you won't be able to watch it." Fu Yu called them away.

Fu Ying pulled the two children apart and waited for the person who was installing the TV to adjust it.

This will be the set-top box that is used, not the later optical modem or something like that, but it is much better than the previous dish-top receiver and is stable enough.

As soon as the TV was turned on, the two of them immediately asked to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. Fu Yu gave them a break from the excitement, turned on the TV for them, and asked them to sit down and watch.

On Sunday, Fu Zhe took his three children, Fu Ying and Fu Yu, to plant mulberry seedlings.

Fu Yu knew how to eliminate pests from mulberry trees, but he had never planted seedlings. He just heard about it from the person selling the seedlings. Fu Ying had looked up information in advance, and the two of them crossed the river by feeling the stones.

After cutting off the overlong and damaged mulberry seedlings, the two men took their hoes and headed for the large cemetery.

Considering the convenience of planting, the two chose to dig the trench in the vertical direction, starting at the edge of the land. In fact, they wanted to dig a 50-centimeter deep trench, but because the two people were not strong enough to work for that long, they had to change it to 20 centimeters. As long as the plants can survive, they don't care how big they can grow.

Plant one seed every 40 cm at the edge of the ground. After planting two rows on the edge, move to the middle, dig trenches every 40 cm and continue planting.

Farming is not a labor-saving job. Even if Fu Ying and her husband didn't dig so deep, they still had to use the hoe. They spent the whole morning digging ditches and planting seedlings.

This is not the end. Everyone knows that when planting trees, they have to be watered, and the same applies to fruit tree seedlings.

Don’t fetch water from home, it’s too far.

There was a family named Zhao who lived relatively close to the large cemetery. They were not related to Fu's mother by blood, but because they lived in the same village and had the same surname, they had a good relationship. His youngest daughter was a classmate of Fu Yu, so Fu Ying and her husband got water from his family to irrigate the graves.

When he met relatives and villagers on the road, Fu Yu had to keep explaining:

"I have a classmate in Zhejiang Province who said that mulberry leaves and mulberry fruits sell well there. I thought that I couldn't cultivate much land with a few small ones, so I might as well plant some mulberry trees. Mulberry trees don't need to be managed all the time, just pay attention to watering and pests. Don't worry about the amount, it's good to be able to sell them for some money."

Fu Ying just shut up and did her work quietly. At this time, only Fu Yu's words could be trusted.

The six long rows of mulberry seedlings were finally planted, and all that was left was for Fu Yu to come and check on them from time to time.

Fu Yu was about to plant the remaining ten or so mulberry seedlings anywhere, but Fu Ying stopped her.

"Sister, plant the chicken fence behind. That area is now fenced off, so it won't affect planting some mulberry seedlings.

Some of the mulberry seedlings in the big cemetery will die. The ones here are kept alive with chicken manure, so they can be replaced in time, which makes it look more realistic.

And even if the large graveyard doesn’t need to be replanted, it’s fine to plant mulberry leaves near the chicken coop. The chickens can eat them, which is more nutritious.”

Fu Yu thought it made sense, so they went home and planted the remaining mulberry seedlings. At home, they didn't care how densely they planted them, as long as they could be planted, and they could decide later whether to interplant them.
