Seeing the weather getting cooler day by day, both Sang Feng and Duan Jie started various preparations for the winter.Duan Jie harvested a lot of corn stalks, and Sang Feng went out to mow the grass every day. It was not good to have too many animals at home. It took a lot of work just to prepare the animals' winter food.

Sang Feng went out to mow the grass every day, and when he came back, his whole body was almost covered with grass.Every day, Duan Jie sneakily mixed the pasture grass from the pasture into the grass to dry together, and then put it away.In addition to preparing animal feed for the winter, it is also necessary to prepare charcoal and firewood for heating in the winter.Last year, in order to save money, Duan Jie only collected some firewood.As a result, only the kang was warm in the house, and the rest of the room was still very cold, which made him want to stay on the kang all winter, but it was a bit dry after staying on the kang for a long time.

This year, Duan Jie plans to bring back more charcoal and add a charcoal basin to the house to increase the indoor temperature.Seeing that Tuantuan is almost one year old, it's not good to keep the little guy on the kang all day long.Warm up the house and increase the range of activities for the little ones.

"Brother Yu, I'm back." The dog in the courtyard barked excitedly.Duan Jie put down the work in his hands, and hurried up to take the grass from Sang Feng's back. As soon as the grass was in his hands, Duan Jie felt his hand suddenly sink, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost didn't fall.Good guy, such a big bale of grass weighs sixty or seventy catties.Sang Feng rushed to help with his sore waist, Duan Jie pushed him aside, "Go and wash your hands, the rice is already in the pot, I boiled a pot of hot water, and you can go soak in a bubble later to relieve fatigue."

Sang Feng was really tired these few days, Duan Jie couldn't stand it.Every day from morning to night, I kept mowing the grass, and I couldn't even stand up straight when I came back at night.Duan Jie also told him twice, asking him not to work so hard.The family is also much more relaxed now, and it is completely possible to spend money to collect some grass, which saves trouble and worry.As a result, Sang Feng nodded, and went to mow the grass again the next day.A few days ago, Duan Jie took advantage of Sang Feng to go out and secretly took out a lot of pasture from the pasture. At night, he told Sang Feng that it was cheap grass. In exchange, the child got up earlier to mow the grass the next day.It's just a donkey's temper, that's what Duan Jie scolded the child when Sang Feng came back that night.

Sang Feng washed his hands, went to the stove, and took out the food that was still warm in the pot.Sure enough, it's meat dishes again, and there are so many to do.Winter melon pork ribs soup, pumpkin porridge, steamed fish, scrambled eggs, and white flour steamed buns.Alas, Brother Yu really doesn't know how to live. This meal can be taken out to treat guests.Sang Feng spends so much money every day, do you want to find an opportunity to persuade him, Sang Feng turned to look at Duan Jie in the yard.He didn't know that Duan Jie in the courtyard was also preparing to educate him tonight, and his health was much more important than this fodder money.

After eating, Duan Jie drove Sang Feng to take a hot bath, and waited for the child to come out with a flushed face.Duan Jie began to preach with a straight face, first saying that the family is not short of money, and then saying that he has ruined his body like this, and when he is sick, the family will spend more money.If Sang Feng continued to work like this, he would sell all the cattle and sheep in the family.

Seeing Sang Feng's aggrieved face, Duan Jie patted him on the head again, and comforted him: "You are a good boy, I know, but you work so hard, what do you make people in the village think of me? Tell me Grab a child and use it to death, tell Brother Yu how to behave in the village in the future." Of course, Duan Jie is pure nonsense, every household in the village works like this.The richest two families also hired a few people, who behaved like donkeys, and they ate black-faced steamed buns when they were greedy from morning to night and almost never rested.Compared with them, Sang Feng was considered happy.But this honest boy took it seriously, and complied guiltily.Duan Jie secretly laughed in his heart.

Tuantuan has been nestled in Duan Jie's arms and listened to his father's lectures. The little guy has been staring at the unfinished meals of Sang Feng from the beginning, his eyes are always good.Duan Jie was probably too happy to say that, he didn't notice that Tuantuan secretly reached out to grab a small piece of egg and stuffed it into his mouth.Duan Jie had black lines on his face, this kid obviously ate something just now.

The next day, Duan Jie went to a few people in the village to discuss buying charcoal.There are several families in the village who burn charcoal every winter, but they don't use the charcoal themselves, but sell it in the town.One hundred catties of good charcoal can be sold for eight renminbi. Of course, the charcoal burned by the people in the village is not that good, but it is not a problem to sell one hundred catties for three or four renminbi. Every month, you can get almost a few thousand catties of charcoal, and each family can share a few taels of silver, which is also a pretty good income.

What Duan Jie meant was that they left him more than 500 catties of the charcoal they burned this time, and he bought it here, saving them the trouble of taking it to town.In the end, those families said that they didn't need any money. Five hundred catties of charcoal would cost more than one tael if sold. Duan Jie couldn't take advantage of others, so he forced the money over.

When Duan Jie agreed to buy charcoal, he returned home and found a large basket of sweet potatoes in the yard. Sang Feng was away after mowing the grass. Duan Jie went to the neighbor's house to ask, only to find out that Aunt Wang had been here today. a trip.Aunt Wang's family planted Duan Jie's land this year. After harvesting the wheat, they planted two acres of sweet potatoes. A few days ago, they harvested sweet potatoes. Today, Aunt Wang specially sent a basket to Duan Jie's family, but Duan Jie was not at home. .Because everyone in the village knew each other, and it was broad daylight, Duan Jie handed the balls to the neighbors, and went out without locking the door. Aunt Wang put the sweet potatoes in Duan Jie's yard directly.

Duan Jie still loves sweet potatoes, especially roasted sweet potatoes.After cooking, I picked a few small sweet potatoes and buried them in the ashes that had just been cooked under the stove.Just after putting it away, I remembered the aroma of roasted corn again, and put a few more corn cobs from the farm into it.

After eating and tidying up, Duan Jie pulled out the sweet potatoes and corn from the still warm ashes, and the room was immediately filled with the aroma.This slow roasting method brings out the aroma of the food itself.At that time, Sang Feng felt that he might be able to eat some more food. Tuantuan had already struggled to get off the ground by himself, staggering and trying to walk over by himself, but he fell down before taking two steps.Just as he was about to grin and cry, Duan Jie blew a small piece of sweet potato and brought it to the little guy's mouth.Ahhh, I opened my mouth, the sweet and soft sweet potato made Tuantuan stop crying, hugged Duan Jie's leg, and opened his mouth to take a bite.

As for the corn, because it is not as sweet as sweet potatoes, and the roasted ones are a bit tough, Duan Jie didn't feed them to Tuan Tuan.But even if it was a sweet potato, I only gave the little guy a few mouthfuls, for fear that he would get gassy after eating too much.Tuantuan is also a child who is very good at winking. After he couldn't eat sweet potatoes, he cried a few times. Seeing that his father ignored him, he wiped his face and went to play with his own toys.Duan Jie was embarrassed for a long time.

The cabbage in the backyard was almost grown, so Duan Jie and Sang Feng took some time to collect all the cabbage.The hay stored in the house weighed down the entire room, so Duan Jie could only put things like white flour and cornmeal in his room first.Things like charcoal and firewood were piled up in Sang Feng's house, and cabbage and green onions were piled up in the yard just like that.Seeing that there are fewer and fewer places in the house, Duan Jie feels that he will have to get another warehouse next year.

It was getting darker and earlier every day, and it was getting colder and colder outside, and the river had already started to freeze.Because the land was rented out, this year's cabbage was obviously not as much as last year's. Duan Jie reckoned that the cabbage might be gone before spring, so he planned to buy some mung beans and soybeans back.If you have nothing to do in winter, you can grow some bean sprouts, make some tofu, and eat it as a dish.

The village only grows soybeans this year, but there are no mung beans. Duan Jie bought a hundred catties of soybeans and decided to go to the town to buy some mung beans in a few days and then buy some meat and dry goods.

In order to prepare for the winter, Duan Jie did not enter the farm for almost three or four days.The temperature on the farm also dropped slightly, but it was still much warmer than outside. Duan Jie first changed his cotton clothes into single clothes.I took a plate to sweep the watermelon frost.Probably because of the drop in temperature, Duan Jie felt that the watermelons on the farm seemed to be frosting a little bit more, and it seemed that the temperature was also one of the factors that affected the frosting of watermelons.

Received the winter melons and pumpkins that were growing in the field to the warehouse. The watermelons had been harvested a while ago. When they were put in the warehouse, Duan Jie found that those watermelons could not be opened separately, and both raw and ripe melons were put in. In the compartment of the watermelon.Because of this, Duan Jie specially marked the ripe melon, and carved one on the melon skin with a knife.After picking these melons, the farm has more than seven acres of land waiting for Duan Jie to dig.

After finishing the work on the farm, Duan Jie went to the pasture, ready to pick up the eggs, and by the way, add some grass, wheat bran or something to the chickens and ducks.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Duan Jie found that several hens in the chicken coop were cuddling!Hugging?

Chasing the hen aside, Duan Jie took the eggs in the nest and took a look at them. Indeed, there was a small black spot inside the eggs.Duan Jie silently looked at the cocks who were so excited, these guys were quick enough to strike.Now that the eggs are fertilized, let them hatch.Duan Jie could only put the egg back, and while Duan Jie was looking at the egg, the angry hen had already nagged at him several times.The other hens also looked at Duan Jie with vigilance, for fear of driving them out of the coop.

As for the fish pond, Duan Jie was a little surprised. In addition to the fish that he raised before, there were actually a lot of small fry. This means that next year their family can relax as much as possible in terms of eating fish.Duan Jie also saw some river prawns, but this guy is really not good at these kinds of work in the water. After fishing for a long time, he didn't get a few of them out.In fact, this guy is just as clumsy when it comes to catching fish. →＿→Duan Jie usually catches the fat ones, conspicuous ones, and some stupid ones. Only those fish can be fished out with the fishing net bag he made himself.

When he turned back, he must go to those children in the village and learn how to fish and catch shrimps. This was the determination Duan Jie made in his heart when he returned after exhausting all his efforts.
