Rebirth in another world is good for farming

I don't know who saw the seedlings in the field and felt impatient. They drained the water in the field and brought in a new stream of water.Originally, she was severely reprimanded by her family because of this incident, but she didn't expect to see Bai Ye's condition much better the next day.In the afternoon, not only did the new leaves not turn white, but they showed vigorous vitality, which immediately made everyone see hope. They dug up the old water in the seedling field and brought in water again.Some industrious ones even carried water with a ladle and sprinkled all the leaves.

The effect of doing so was immediate. After two or three days, the decline of the previous few days could not be seen in the seedling field at all.Then there was another timely rain, which completely exposed the matter.Those who had waited for a long time finally couldn't hold back, and began to pull out seedlings and transplant them one after another.

At this time, other crops in the field have begun to grow, and it is easier to transplant rice seedlings.It only took Zhao Zhengze and Zhang Xiaoliu four days to plant the three acres of land with the wheat.So far, summer harvest and summer planting have officially ended, and a relatively idle period of agricultural slack has entered.Twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are all led by their fathers to go to the mountains to collect firewood, cut grass, or sew clothes and shoes.There are also younger children who are also looking for wild fruits all over the mountains and plains under the organization of older children.In order to reward the hard work during this month's busy farming season, each household will also prepare a meal of "scattered rice" after planting rice seedlings.Zhang Xiaoliu didn't know how this habit came about, maybe it was just a way for farmers to entertain themselves!Of course, the timing of this meal depends on the speed at which the family finishes the farm work, and the degree of richness is also determined by the person who handles the money in the family, and no outsider will know.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaoliu counted the stored silver again. The 25 taels of silver hidden under the bed had not been touched, and there were still more than one tael of scattered silver.When he got here, he really got used to living on his hands.He remembered what he heard under the bamboo tree that day. If the family had enough labor to go deep into the mountains to cut firewood to make beams and frames, the house would not cost much to build.But none of them can do this now, even Zhao Zhengze cannot afford to carry wet wood as thick as a house beam within two or three years.And the floor inside the house, he no longer thinks about this kind of pure natural hard mud floor, it's better to pave it with big stone slabs like Cao'er Momo's house, even if it is used for decades or hundreds of years, it will not be a piece. muddy.

The blue tiles on the roof must be bought, it seems that someone in the nearby village does this.There are also large stone slabs for paving the floor, which have to be bought elsewhere.There must be at least six rooms in the house, four people sleep in one room, the kitchen must be independent, and there is also a sundry room for storing rice and grains.In this way, there are quite a lot of blue tiles and large stone slabs. According to their calculations, these two items will cost a few taels of silver.Hiring people to cut wood, fix beams, and dig foundations to build a house would take a lot of time, and it would definitely be a big sum in the final settlement.However, if it is only calculated in this way, the money must be more than enough to build a house, but how to spend it so as not to make people feel suspicious, we still need to think of a name.For the rest of the money, maybe you should ask Wu Shulin Village how much Shu Xiu costs for a month...

Although life is not easy on weekdays, Zhang Xiaoliu is not stingy when buying things.Seven or eight of the chickens in the family are laying eggs one after another, and they can collect six or seven eggs every day, which is a very remarkable thing in the village.Zhang Xiaoliu didn't hide it on purpose, and let Xiaosong speak freely and happily.If you want to improve the situation at home slowly, such gradual changes are more acceptable than building a house suddenly.It stands to reason that since the chickens at home have started to lay eggs, they can be killed and eaten.It's just that it's just a bone to the touch, and he's not quite willing.So this meal of "Sanhe Rice" is still pork, pork bones and other things bought at the market.

Although Mai Mai was able to take care of himself, Zhang Xiaoliu personally cooked this dinner with many dishes.As soon as the sun set, he washed the bones he bought at noon and put them in a small pot.Without using other materials, I took a handful from the hanging soybeans, peeled two large handfuls of soybeans, and found two remaining small bitter gourds in the vegetable field. After removing the seeds, I cut them into pieces and put them together to cook.Soybean bitter gourd is best eaten in summer.

The dishes are actually nothing special, and it is already a kind of celebration to be able to eat meat and meat during non-year-old festivals.But Zhang Xiaoliu also put some thought into it.The pork belly with the skin is cut into thin slices, and first spread out the oil on both sides in a hot pot until both sides are slightly burnt, and then sprinkle salt to dry fry.This dish should have been stir-fried with chili, but there is no chili at home, so we can only make do with it.The remaining pork belly was cut into thick slices and stewed with homemade sauerkraut, and five eggs were beaten to make fried eggs in one breath.

Three dishes and one soup is already a very hearty dinner.The fried pork belly is very fragrant, the sauerkraut is appetizing and goes with the meal, and it is accompanied by eggs. Even the wheat is distressed for the copper coins spent.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoliu suddenly remembered that when he asked Uncle Li Sheng to pick up the tiles, he had promised to send two chickens to pay for his wages, so he hurriedly talked to Zhao Zhengze, and he grabbed two chickens from the chicken cage and sent them over.Now speaking of selling two adult chickens, it must be more than half a day's wages, but at that time, it was raining and the house was leaking, so no one would be willing to do it seriously.Cao'er didn't say anything else and asked her husband to help, it was just out of love.What's more, when Uncle Li Sheng finally agreed to take him two chickens, he was just joking around looking at the little chickens.

It was half a month, when the moon in the sky was at its roundest, and the road was clearly illuminated.Zhang Xiaoliu found that she was much more courageous, and she was not afraid at all when walking alone on the road.Not long after, he approached Cao'er Momo's house, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a burst of chaotic crying inside.

"If you can't afford it, I'll just strangle him to death. It's better than not knowing where he went. Even his biological father doesn't want him, and you expect other people to treat him well?" Through the door, he also heard clearly Cao'er was a little choked up.Followed by the cries of several children, probably the children of the family.

For some reason, he had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly understood.Is it because there are too many children in the family, so you want to give it to someone else for adoption?Just don't know which one to send away?The boss and the second child are the labor force, absolutely impossible.The third child is also relatively old, and he will be able to work in the fields in two years, so he should not be willing to part with it.The rest don't know if it's the fourth or fifth child or the sixth child who hasn't turned one year old?

"There are not many children in their family, so sending them away is a way of life. You see, your health hasn't improved since you gave birth to him. How can you have the strength to bring him up? Of course I don't want to part with it, but the eldest child will talk about others. He's still so young..." Immediately afterwards, Uncle Li Sheng said some distressed and endless words, and it sounded like Xiao Liu was definitely going to be sent away.

Zhang Xiaoliu was standing in front of the door, completely unexpected that he would run into this scene.In his opinion, the life of Cao'er Meme's family in the village is not too bad.But after thinking about Uncle Li Sheng's words, it makes sense. There are already so many children in their family, and Nanny Li is not young anymore.Cao'er's body is exhausted, and it's not easy to take care of the child.Not to mention that children before the age of three need fine food, which is also an expense.Moreover, although their family has a total of ten acres of land, it is not much for the five sons to divide.

But even so, who would be willing to send away the child he gave birth to?Zhang Xiaoliu stood for a long time, then heard Cao'er scolding Uncle Li Sheng loudly, and begging Nanny Li, but refused to let go.

In fact, even if a child is sent away, life at home may not be easy.Zhang Xiaoliu stood in a daze, and didn't even hear what was said inside, but his voice slowly dropped.He thought for a while, and finally stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.

"Who is it?" The 15-year-old Li Kang answered the door. They had probably been kicked out of the room long ago, and asked almost as soon as the door knocked.

"Brother Akang, it's me, Xiaoliu." The door opened a crack from the inside, Zhang Xiaoliu was holding the chicken in both hands and it was inconvenient to push the door, so he still had to raise his voice.

After hearing this, Li Kang pushed the door open to welcome him out.From the corner of Zhang Xiaoliu's eyes, his face seemed to be stained with tears.

"Brother Liu, what are you doing?" Li Kang was stunned when he saw the chicken in his hand.

"A few months ago, I asked Uncle Li Sheng to help pick up the tiles, and I agreed to send two chickens here. No, these chickens started laying eggs a few days ago, so I caught two of them, but they were thinner and not very long. Meat." Zhang Xiaoliu tried to speak as naturally as possible, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

Li Kang obviously didn't know about this, and was about to ask the adults to come out, but he hesitated when he thought about what they were discussing.Li Sheng probably heard the noise outside and walked out.

"Uncle Li Sheng, look, these chickens have been raised. I happened to remember it today, so I sent it to you." Seeing him coming out, Zhang Xiaoliu raised her hand and said to him.

Li Sheng was also taken aback, and then recalled the casual promise back then, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Liu, you were joking, how could I want you two chickens in just that moment? I just answered casually, Quickly forget about it and take the chicken back with you."

"Oh, my hands are sore from carrying it for so long. Brother Akang, hurry up and lock it in the cage!" Zhang Xiaoliu handed the chicken he was carrying to the nearest Li Kang, yelling tired.Li Kang subconsciously picked it up, and when he heard what Li Sheng said, he wanted to push it back, but Zhang Xiaoliu had put both hands at his side, and refused to pick it up.

"This is what we agreed on. Uncle Li Sheng, don't let me break my promise. Besides, if there is anything else I need your help in the future, I will always ask you to help me for nothing. How can I have the nerve to come to you again?"

Father and son of the Li family were talkative people, they didn't know what to say for a while, they just kept talking about such trivial things, so there was no need to bring things over.Zhang Xiaoliu listened with a smile, and then said: "Is Cao'er asleep yet? I still want to say a few words to him!"

"No, it's in the room, you can go." Li Sheng thought of the situation just now, and sighed inwardly with sadness in his heart.A few months ago, he saw that the chickens in the two cages were only a little bit big, but now they have grown up.This child is amazing, others only think that their family does not know which family should be adopted, and the few children just survived.Compared with this, I feel very ashamed. If I can't even support my own children, how can I expect others to support them?
