When there were not enough seedlings in the field, Zhang Xiaoliu walked around the front and back of the house twice, thinking that he could repair the surrounding environment first.The weeds grow fast in spring, and it has not been pulled out for a long time. At this time, the weeds have grown to the height of the calf.Zhang Xiaoliu, who is used to the clean and tidy steel and concrete, has been displeased with them for a long time, fearing that there might be crawling objects like snakes and insects hidden in them, and they are especially fond of attracting mosquitoes in summer.

A few days ago, the clothes I took to make for my family have already been cut. It turns out that a piece of cloth is 12 meters longer than he thought, probably because of the slightly different sizes.After gesturing to him at the time, Jiatong said that the current short clothes are made of their body shape, especially since Xiaosong is a child who crawls on the ground, and he can't use three meters of cloth for a suit of clothes, at least two more clothes can be cut out. .Zhang Xiaoliu thought about it, and asked him to make one more body for Zhang Zhengze and Xiaosong.

At that time, Jia Tongmomo hated him for his disappointment and nodded his forehead, probably saying that he only cares about his husband when he is young, and it seems that he will be eaten to death in the future.Zhang Xiaoliu heard it was absurd, and he just pretended not to understand and nodded and said yes to his various claims.But he didn't think about who was biased. Xiaosong was the youngest, and he was still wearing inappropriate clothes remade by adults, so of course he had to be the one.Zhao Zhengze came home empty-handed at the time, wearing his own clothes, which had not been replaced for many days, and he had to cut two pieces for him to replace.As for myself and wheat, I can only press back.

After waking up in the morning, Zhang Xiaoliu still made breakfast first. He sold the Ganoderma lucidum before and ate a meal of white rice rich and powerful, but now he dare not eat like this again.He measured half a bowl of white rice and made porridge with the same amount of brown rice and coarse grains, and he was happy to eat it with salt and oil.

In fact, the breakfast time of ordinary people here is much later than theirs. Most of them go to the fields or go to the mountains to work after getting up, and come back for breakfast one after another when it is almost Si time.But now there is no adult in the Zhang family to take care of these things, so Zhang Xiaoliu came here according to his own habits.But he also felt that sooner or later this habit should be in step with the people here, otherwise the time until noon would be too long, and he would be too hungry.

After breakfast, Zhao Zhengze first went to fill up the water tank, and then he had to carry water to water the vegetables.Mai Mai took Xiaosong to play in the room or in front of the house, and occasionally helped find some wild vegetables.Zhang Xiaoliu walked home with some expectation, the clothes should be ready today.

When she got the clothes, she wasn't excited anymore, Zhang Xiaoliu didn't even look at them carefully, paid the money and thanked them, rolled up the things and walked home.Jiatong looked at his grinning mouth and thought that Brother Liu finally looked a little childish when he saw the new clothes, and it was really worrying to be so old-fashioned all the time.

Back home, Zhao Zhengze and Mai Mai were very happy to see the clothes in his hands. Zhang Xiaoliu gestured to them that it should be easier to wear. Children grow up fast, and they will soon be unable to wear them if they don’t grow bigger. .But when he stuffed two sets of clothes into Zhao Zhengze's arms, he panicked.

"No, Brother Liu, I'll give you the new one, I'll just wear the old one." There was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose, and he took a step back to avoid his hand.

This was the first time Zhao Zhengze called him, and Zhang Xiaoliu felt a little weird.In the past, the two of them spoke directly without addressing each other.

"The old ones are going to be worn out. You take them first. I'll go to the market in a few days and I'll cut some cloth and come back. Naturally, there will be a lot of me and Mai." Zhang Xiaoliu said without exaggeration, the clothes he was wearing were originally It's just changing the clothes of Meme to be smaller, and wearing them for him after so many years, I'm always afraid that if he uses too much strength, he will open his mouth.

"I, I don't want it." Zhao Zhengze always didn't know how to refute his words, but seeing that Mai Mai only had one set in hand, he lowered his head.

Who said he was an idiot, he was obviously a child with a delicate mind.Zhang Xiaoliu rubbed his forehead: "You don't want clothes, don't you need to wear them anymore? Mai Mai still has a few old clothes, so it doesn't matter if I cut them later. I still count on you to work hard to support them!"

Zhao Zhengze didn't say anything in the end, so Zhang Xiaoliu had to help Xiaosong change into new clothes first, and he looked much more energetic, unlike the blue and yellow complexion when he first saw him.

Although farm work is the busiest only when harvesting and planting, there are also many things on weekdays.There is no delay in cutting firewood, cutting grass, retting and fertilizing the fields.But Zhang Xiaoliu didn't have these troubles at this time, Zhang's father was a hard worker, and the firewood piled under the eaves of the house was enough to burn for half a year.It is too late to fertilize the field in spring, so there is no need to rush to do it.

During lunch, Zhang Xiaoliu spoke seriously about clearing the grass in front of the gate and building the fence.Neither Zhao Zhengze nor Mai Mai had a lively and outgoing personality, and he was the only one who followed suit. Hearing that he had arrangements, they both nodded without saying a word.

So half an hour later, several people started working in full swing.Zhang Xiaoliu was in charge of sharpening one end of the split bamboo strips, and then tied them together with ropes to form a diamond-shaped grid. Xiaosong sat next to him and played.Zhao Zheng took the wheat to pull out the weeds outside the house, and when Xiaoliu had set up a section of fence, he called him to come over to help, and stuck the pointed end of the bamboo deep into the soil, so that it could stand there firmly.

This kind of work made Zhang Xiaoliu feel like he was back in his childhood, but he was the one who was sitting and playing, and his parents were weaving the fence.

Although he is still small and weak now, he has long thought about taking good care of this family.The open space in front can be fenced first, and some vines can be planted after the fence is under, and let them climb.Wait until it rains and then go to the mountain to see if we can dig some saplings back to make this land less desolate.Of course, the most important function is to grow vegetables, and those vegetable ridges are indispensable.I can't see it now, but when I grow up, the appetite of the four men will be incredible.There is also a chicken pen around the right side. The current chicks are not very destructive, and it will be difficult to catch up when they grow up. They need to get used to one place.As for the current house and a large area behind the house, it is planned to be reserved for building a house. Although it may not be used now, it will be a matter of time...

Zhang Xiaoliu was in a daze thinking about it, until the shouts from outside came to his ears.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, are you at home?" The voice came from behind the house, sounding a little out of breath.

"Hey, here it is!" Zhang Xiaoliu hastily put down the bamboo stick in his hand, and walked out while answering.Following the sound, he saw a tall but very thin middle-aged man walking towards this side.

The man's pace was obviously much faster than the child's, and he quickly came to him, looked at his face carefully, and then hugged him into his arms.

"Poor brother Liu, your father is really cruel, just leave you three brothers like this! Look at you, there is only a handful of bones left..." He then howled loudly.

"What..." Zhang Xiaoliu let him hug him in embarrassment, but for a moment he couldn't remember what this person's name should be, and the words he uttered just stopped there.

The man wiped his tears for a while, seeing his confused look, he felt sad again: "Brother Liu, I haven't seen Cao'er for a year, don't you even know Cao'er? Is Cao'er not good, this body It's always a burden, even if you leave, you can't see him off..."

Grass...

Zhang Xiaoliu had a flash of inspiration, and a figure suddenly appeared in his memory. Although he was obviously not as weak as the person in front of him, his facial outline was very similar.This person should be a very good friend with Momo, his surname is Lin, and his name is Cao'er. Before they got married, the two families were close to each other and played together, and after they got married, they often communicated with each other.

Speaking of which, this family is also strange, the children are born non-stop, and every child is a boy.Although it is said that many children and many blessings can be envied by many people, in fact, it is very troublesome.After all, his family's field is there, and they used to live in the village barely, but now that they have given birth to five children in one breath, life is inevitably more embarrassing.

Naturally, Zhang Xiaoliu knew all this when he overheard him chatting with his family.It's just that I was ignorant and ignorant when I was young, but now I think about it but I can understand it.As for his body, it was only after the last delivery not long ago that he lost weight.

A year ago was the last time he came to see Zhang Mo. At that time, he just found out that he was pregnant again. Under the annoyance, he discussed with his husband that the family could not afford to support him, so he left the child behind.Unexpectedly, two days after I finished speaking, before I had time to find a doctor to prescribe medicine, my unresponsive stomach was turned upside down.He vomited everything he ate, was dizzy, had brain pains and couldn't get up all day long. At that time, his husband was terribly frightened. He was afraid that he would lose his life, so how dare he say anything about abortion.Later I invited a doctor to come over, and sure enough, he also said that such a body cannot be aborted, otherwise it will hurt the root.He also prescribed anti-fetal drugs, but did not understand the cause of his symptoms, and did not prescribe additional drugs.

This thing is really miraculous. After the doctor left, Cao'er seemed to be cured of all illnesses, but the symptoms during pregnancy were particularly obvious, and she still vomited whatever she ate, and she quickly lost weight and became weak.After a few months, I could barely get out of bed, and I could only tidy up at home every day, and I couldn't go to the fields.

Looking back, his newborn child was only a few months old.No wonder he said that he didn't even see Momo for the last time, the child was not yet full moon at that time.Even when she was seriously ill, she dared not come to the house because she was pregnant.

"Cao'er, why doesn't Xiaoliu remember?" Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly moved the person inside, and took the opportunity to break free from his arm: "I just didn't expect Cao'er to come home at this time!"

When Lin Caoer saw Xiaosong, she hugged him.

"Xiao Song has grown up too, fortunately he is three years old now, otherwise what can I do!"

"Let Cao'er worry about it, Xiaosong is obedient now, and he can eat anything." Zhang Xiaoliu explained softly, and then called Zhao Zhengze and Mai Mai to come and recognize him.

When Lin Cao'er saw Zhao Zhengze, she couldn't help but sighed twice, but she didn't say much after all, just handed over the basket she brought.

Zhang Xiaoliu took it and took a look. There were about twenty eggs inside, a large bundle of leeks tied with straw ropes, and four or five steamed buns.

"Cao'er, these eggs are what you and your little brother want to eat, how can you give them to us?" Zhang Xiaoliu was startled, and hurriedly pushed the basket back into his hands.Lin Cao'er's husband's surname is Li, and he belongs to the same clan as the village chief. Although he used to have a little family background, his life is obviously much worse after having children continuously.Leeks are not worth much, but eggs are what a child of a few months and a baby after delivery need most.

"I don't have anything at home to bring, so you can take it! If you are still here, I don't know how much I feel sorry to see you!" Lin Cao'er put her hands behind her back, and refused to take it again.
