Rebirth in another world is good for farming

Zhang Xiaoliu pushed the door and went in. A faint oil lamp was on inside the room.There were two beds side by side in this room, Lin Cao'er was sitting on the inner bed, hugging Xiao Liu and leaning against the head of the bed.Nanny Li was lying on the bed outside, and she didn't say anything when she saw Zhang Xiaoliu coming in.

"Mother Li, let me come and see Cao'er." Zhang Xiaoliu first stood outside and greeted Mother Li, and heard him say "hmm", probably because he was not in a good mood, so he didn't say anything. He turned over and walked outside the house.

Lin Cao'er inside heard it, raised her red and swollen eyes to look at him, then lowered her head again: "Brother Liu, it's so late, why are you still here?"

"It's nothing, I had dinner early today, and I want to talk to Cao'er." Zhang Xiaoliu didn't want to talk to him about the chicken, otherwise he wouldn't stay for a while.He glanced at Xiao Liu in Lin Cao'er's arms, although he had made a loud noise just now, he didn't seem to hear his cries, and fell asleep in his arms at this moment.Lin Cao'er probably felt distressed, she held him in her arms and did not put him on the bed.

"Just finished working in the field, brother Liu should go back earlier, the moon will go down later." Lin Cao'er couldn't think of anything to say to him for a while, her mind was very confused, so she had to let him go back first.

"Cao'er, Xiao Liu is already asleep, you should put him down first." Zhang Xiaoliu persuaded him, ignoring his words.

When Lin Cao'er heard this, her eye circles turned red again.Since getting married, although it can't be said that they have lived a good life, Shengzai's husband and the nuns at home have been kind to him, and they have a little family background.The children were born one after another. A few years ago, I was very happy. It has always been said that many children bring blessings. Although it was hard to take care of them when they were young, wouldn't it be better when they grow up?Until the fourth child was born, they all had the same opinion, and hoped to stop here.Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu would follow, which really made people worry.

But even so, the child was born with hard work, especially Xiao Liu, who suffered a lot when she was pregnant.After being born, he was well-behaved and obedient. Every time he thinks about it, he thinks that this child must be a caring child, and he never messes with himself.Just now several people talked loudly in the room for a long time, but he didn't cry and fell asleep by himself.It doesn't matter if life is difficult, but what makes him most sad is that Li Sheng, who usually listens to him the most honestly, suddenly said that he would give Xiao Liu to someone else to raise him.

He had been in a daze just now, but now after hearing Zhang Xiaoliu's words, he felt his hands were heavy, he straightened the bed and put the child on the bed to sleep.

"Brother Liu, what do you want from me?" Lin Cao'er only really woke up now, looking at the child beside the bed who was about to grow up to be as tall as her shoulders, and asked softly.

"It's nothing, I just want to see you and Xiaoliu." Zhang Xiaoliu scratched his head embarrassingly, in his opinion, it would be better for the child to be sent away than to live at home.It's just that those children who don't have any relatives, and those who are abused by their relatives are everywhere, let alone people who have no blood relationship at all?Besides, almost every family here has several children, how can they take care of the adopted children?But he has no position to talk about this kind of thing. Firstly, he is young, and people only think of it as sentimental. Second, after all, they are not relatives and not relatives. It is even more embarrassing for them to intervene before they have made a decision.

Lin Cao'er patted his hand, pulled him closer, and pulled the small piece of cloth covering Xiao Liu's body to let him see more clearly.

"Look, maybe you won't see him again in the future." Although he absolutely disagreed, sooner or later someone would have to compromise.He was even afraid that if he fell asleep one day, the child might be taken away when he woke up.

"Xiao Liu is so good, I can come to your house when I want to see him. Why do you say that?" Zhang Xiaoliu didn't expect that he didn't mind revealing it to himself, and was even more surprised that he seemed to give up the idea.

"Brother Liu, when I heard your father was gone, I thought what should I do with you? Who knows, you will follow me after a while." Lin Cao'er didn't answer, but instead Bow your head and talk to him about the past.

"At that time, I was really anxious, but I couldn't move away. Now half a year has passed, and I am relieved to see that you can live on."

"It's nothing, thanks to the help of you and Dashun, the land has been planted. Just after harvesting the food, the family is better." Although Zhang Xiaoliu's words are true, it is more because of their hard work. Got it.Just like the chickens you bought, if it wasn't for the wheat that tried its best to feed them quietly, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to grow so complete.

"In short, you are very capable. You can feed your younger brother, but you can't even take care of your own children." Lin Cao'er's voice became lower and lower, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping child.

"At that time, I thought, no matter how sad the day is, it will pass after a while, and it will definitely get better and better in the future." Zhang Xiaoliu leaned against him and looked at Xiaoliu who knew nothing, and could only hint in his words he.

"Uncle Li Sheng wants to send Xiao Liu to another village. Brother Liu, tell me, if you do this, Xiao Liu will hate me if he finds out, right?" Lin Cao'er looked at him and said it out of nowhere.In fact, Li Sheng and Li Mama insisted on sending Xiao Liu away, but the other children were crying and unwilling, but their opinions were not important at all.There is no one in the family who supports his ideas, and this kind of matter cannot be discussed with other families. Zhang Xiaoliu has always acted as close and sensible to him, but Lin Cao'er suddenly didn't treat him as a child anymore.

"Don't do it, Cao'er, I think Xiaoliu is very sensible, you can wait for two and a half years, and it will be much better when he is three years old." Zhang Xiaoliu said anxiously, he really didn't expect Lin Cao So quickly, he actually wanted to agree to send Xiao Liu away.

"Three years old, what about his future? Eating and drinking is indispensable, and he must be at least eight or nine years old before he can go to the fields to help. He can go to the fields, but in a few years, he will be called a brother again. How can he be a son after giving birth to so many, it is simply a debt collector. Lin Cao'er counted carefully, the last sentence seemed to be talking to herself.

"Cao'er, don't think so. You see, Maimai is only eight years old, and he can help me with a lot of work. You all say that our family can live on now. In fact, I am not doing things alone. Even Xiaosong Help put the chickens out. You gave birth to Xiao Liu after a year of hard work, maybe he is here to repay you." Zhang Xiaoliu really has a good eye for Xiao Liu, and always feels that this child is so likable.

"There are only so many fields at home. How can we support so many mouths? In the past two years, I have to tell my eldest son about others. It's a waste of work if God doesn't show face.

The words have come to this point, Zhang Xiaoliu has nothing to do.If it was a natural or man-made disaster, sending Xiao Liu away would not improve much.After thinking about it for a long time, he just said in a low voice: "If you really take it away, it will be too late to regret it. Cao'er should think about it carefully. I want to sell some of the chickens at home and save a few copper coins to buy some. Materials to build a new house, I heard that there will be a lot of rain in the spring next year, so it will be too late.”

"build house?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoliu nodded, knowing that others would feel a little whimsical after hearing his words.In their conservative thinking, building a house must have extra money other than surplus money to start an idea, and their thinking is always conservative.

"You guys are thinking a little bit wrongly. You think that Xiaoliu has to spend money on food and drink, and the family will only get more and more tight. I don't think about so many difficult things. Although I don't have much money now, I live in a tight budget. After the house is built, there will be a place to shelter from the wind and rain for at least a few decades. I think if Xiao Liu can choose, he would rather rely on his own hard work to become a brother a few years later than leave your side. If you think about it, Maybe Xiao Liu will be very promising after that." Sooner or later, he will have to let the wind out about building a house, so that when others talk about it, there will be someone who can help.As for Xiao Liu's matter, he only hoped that they would stop thinking pessimistically.

Lin Cao'er listened, but remained silent.

When Zhang Xiaoliu went back, he was very worried. When he got to the front of the house, he saw Zhao Zhengze and his two younger brothers sitting in front of the door waiting for him.The haze in my heart finally dissipated, and I smiled and walked towards them quickly.

"July [-]th, Renqi arrives." The most wild fruit on the mountain in Xiaba Village must be myrtle, and people here prefer to call them "Douren".

Myrtle is a short evergreen shrub about two feet high. It blooms small pink flowers from March to April, and it doesn't fade until the end of September.And during the period from July to September, it is even more fruitful while blooming, so there is that saying.Its fruit is shaped like a pot, only half the size of a thumb, and it is mostly red before July, when no one will pick it and eat it.And when the whole body turns black, it is the snacks that the children can get after going up the mountain.Even if adults go to the mountains to cut firewood and cut grass, they will always bring some back home to coax the children at home.

Myrtle grows especially well in the mountains and forests, and the birds love to peck at it, so the fallen seeds naturally grow all over the mountains.In July and August, groups of children searched the past like a carpet, and there were always fish that slipped through the net.If your eyes are good enough, you can still pick a full basket and go home.They don't need to wash their beans. After picking them, they bring them to their mouths and use their teeth to tear a hole, and then squeeze hard with their fingers, and the purple-black berries with seeds inside fall into their mouths.It's just that if you eat too much, your teeth, tongue, and even pinched fingers will be stained purple-black.

Zhang Xiaoliu also recognized this kind of wild fruit in the past, but after all, after running wildly with a group of children, he didn't pick it himself.Wheat was unambiguous, and came back with a full basket in the evening for two consecutive days.On the third day, he had already agreed with others not to go anymore, but Shizhu was not free for the first two days, so he was going to be dragged to go at this time.When I came back in the evening, there was another basket full.And Zhang Xiaoliu has already started to have a headache how to deal with these fruits.

Besides giving it to others to eat, the easiest way is to make myrtle wine.At this time, there is no shortage of beans in every family, and children will even get angry if they eat too much. I am afraid that no one will want to give it away.Zhang Xiaoliu thought about it, and had no choice but to do what he did many years ago, brewing wine.

In the modern countryside where he lived, it is well-known that using myrtle to make wine, and adults would not do it. It is children who love to play and go up the mountain to pick beans and eat them all. Find an empty jar or wine bottle at home, then secretly pour some white wine into it from the wine bottle at home, and let it sit for ten or so days.Take it out when it is opened, and you will definitely be able to escape the scolding.

No one here seems to have mentioned this matter, and I don't know if there is such a practice.The only thing the family lacks now is white wine, so Zhang Xiaoliu simply aired the beans to prevent them from rotting, and quietly went to buy some shochu when he went to the market before brewing.
