hunting and farming husband

Half a month after harvesting the corn, the fields started to get busy again.

Standing on the slope and looking at the rolling fields, only the nearest ear of wheat has turned yellow.This is Cheng Langyu's house.

Cheng Langyu wore cotton bunts and used a hoe to dig through the gaps blocked on the field ridges.

The water in it gradually changed from a trickle to a turbulent along the gaps made by the hoe.

The sun was high, and the air was distorted into annoying postures.It didn't take long for you to come out, the sweat on his head condensed and dripped down his temples.

It's July, the hottest time of the year.

Ye Liandong was at home alone with her three children.

"Sister-in-law, there is another little rabbit at home!" The quiet brick and tile house was woken up by this forest bird-like voice.

Rabbits have been moved to a pen on the left side of the house, along with chickens and ducks.

Now the big rabbits in the house, except for the first one and the black rabbit caught by Cheng Langyu later, the other two were all taken out of the previous traps.

Ye Liandong wiped off the sweat from her head. "This is the fourth litter."

"Yes, yes." Cheng Shao's face was full of joy.

"It's not like that time in spring, isn't there enough grass to feed the rabbits?"

At the beginning, I never thought that I would raise so many rabbits, and the three little ones took care of the rabbit.In addition to selling to children in the village, some adults now come to Ye Rendong's house if they want to eat meat.

There are many rabbits in one litter, and they grow so fast that the village can't run out of them, and the three children take them to the town to sell them.

Up to now, people from far and near know that they are in the business of rabbits.

Ye Liandong also never expected that the children of her family would be so good at taking care of them. The rabbits grow up healthy and strong, smooth and smooth.

"It's not enough now." Qi Jiu took over the words.

Ye Rendong thought for a while, and pulled Qi Jiu and Cheng Shao to sit beside him.Asked: "Are you going to continue to support it?"

The two children nodded in unison.

"Then you should plan ahead."

"It's hot at this time, and I can barely fool it. But the weather will be cold later, and there is nothing to eat, so you need to stock up more rabbits can eat and put them in the cellar."

"Sister-in-law, is there nothing to eat later?" Cheng Shao asked doubtfully.

Ye Liandong nodded. "There are a lot of rabbits at home, and the weather is hot now. You don't have enough time to go out to look for grass, and there will be no grass for rabbits to eat later."

"So this year you have to think in advance how much forage the rabbits eat every day, and think about it before freezing."

Cheng Baoer jumped over and lay on Ye Liandong's lap: "Then sister-in-law, where should we plant grass?"

Ye Liandong stroked the little girl's hair, said: "The weather is hot now, no way."

"It must be autumn or spring, when the weather is cool, you can try planting." Speaking of this, Ye Liandong thought of another question. "But about the seeds, I don't know if there are any in the town."

Cheng Shao's face was wrinkled, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Jiu.

Ye Liandong patted his head and said: "But don't worry, we now have four big rabbits, and the little ones will grow for a month or two, so we can handle it now."

"In the past, you all figured out the rabbit thing by yourself. After doing it for so long, your experience is definitely no worse than that of my wife."

"Just trust yourselves."

Cheng Baoer raised his head and carefully supported Ye Liandong's knee: "Then how about we plant grass in autumn?"

Ye Liandong smiled softly: "Ask your brother?"

"If you need help, you can ask your elder brother or me. Or sister-in-law is also fine."

Zhong Lingxiu knows a little bit about everything, even if it is raising rabbits, she can tell one or two useful methods.

"Okay, we got it." Cheng Shao pondered with a serious face.

In these few months, Ye Liandong could clearly feel that the children in the family had grown to a certain extent.Needless to say, the matter of settling accounts, people's character and words are quite sharp.

He was a little relieved.Children have their own ideas, and even have their own money in their pockets.No worse than the children in the town who are studying.

"By the way, don't miss your homework, you know?"

"I know, sister-in-law."

Qi Jiu sat on the side with her knees hugged, her little head bouncing. If it wasn't for his wide-eyed eyes, he would have thought he was dozing off.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "We can store hay now. Collect seeds and plant them in autumn."

"If it's not enough, just keep the big rabbit."

Ye Liandong smiled lightly. "Then try it according to your ideas."

A gust of hot wind blew in, and Ye Liandong wiped off the accumulated sweat on his forehead.At this time Cheng Langyu pushed open the door.

"Master, you're back." Ye Liandong stood up to greet him.

Cheng Langyu's trouser legs were tied, and her bare feet stepped on the ground.Print big feet on the ground.

"Don't come out, it's hot outside."

The weather in June is nothing compared to the present.Fu Lang's skinny and tender meat stood outside for a while.Either blushing from the sun or peeling off a layer of skin.

"Sir, are there rabbit grass seeds for sale in the town?" Ye Liandong was standing on the eaves, facing the courtyard where the heat wave could be seen shaking.

"I don't think so."

Cheng Langyu went to the woodshed and put down his hoe, took off his straw hat, and his hair was dripping.

Ye Liandong stepped on his feet, and wiped him a little with his handkerchief. "Bao'er and his wife said they want to plant, but we have never seen anyone raising rabbits. There are too many rabbits, and the fodder is far from enough just to look for them outside."

"Then let them find and grow by themselves."

"Alfalfa, wheatgrass, etc., if you can get a little seed." Cheng Langyu replied casually, looking down at the fragrant and sweaty honeysuckle. "If it's not enough, it can be fed by growing some vegetables that people can eat first."

Qi Jiu looked up at the two of them, turned her head and thought for a while.It's not impossible.

"Okay, stop wiping. Fu Lang goes to sit."

Ye Liandong put away the handkerchief, sticking to her hands with heat and moisture.Ye Liandong's palms felt hot from the smoke.

"Sir, I want to go for a walk in the mountains. It's hot in the house." Ye Liandong said while turning back to pour tea for the man.

His almond eyes were moist, and he looked at the man eagerly.I'm afraid he won't allow it.

Cheng Langyu was silent for a moment, brushing back Ye Rendong's hair. "Okay, if you want to go, I will take you there."

Three days later, Cheng Langyu's family began harvesting rice.

Two acres of fertile land, plus fertilization and weeding, the harvest should be good.

The golden ears of wheat hang on the rice stalks, looking heavy, the stalks are almost lowered to the field.

Several men from Cheng's ancestral house came to help.

Ye Rendong, Zhong Lingxiu and Yan Tong were cooking lunch at home.In the morning, Cheng Langyu took a few brothers out early, and boiled some sugar eggs for someone in the house and sent them over.

At noon, before the hottest time of the day, Ye Liandong sent a few more pots of water.

The man was sweating in the field, and the rice that had been knocked off his face collapsed countless times.

Tired in the field, eat well at noon.

Ye Liandong brought out the chicken and pork that had been prepared in advance.There are also vegetable leaves, eggplants, and peppers that have just been picked from the ground and have been scalded by the sun.

There is nothing wrong with the family in the ancestral house now, just waiting for the threshing in a few days.

It's cooler here than in the village, and the children can get together to discuss how to sell rabbits.

After Qi Jiu, Hu Zi and Yuan Xiao also joined the Rabbit Raising Alliance.

Whenever I have free time, I want to run to the foot of the mountain. Thanks to Cheng Lishen, who is very playful now, he can take him around.

Otherwise, these children would disappear in an instant, and the adults would not know where to look for them.

In the field, one after another, there were slaps on the shelves.In the large square wooden barrel, the golden rice splashes and gradually piles up a thick layer.

It has been two hours since Cheng Langyu came out.

The water the man drank was also changed twice.He said: "Come back, it's time to eat. Come back when the sun is overcast."

Cheng Limin's tanned skin glowed in the sun, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his big hands. "let's go."

The hot wind floats, and the layers of rice fields are like a piece of green sea water, undulating up and down, turning yellow-green waves.

Home meals are cooked and served early.

Ye Liandong stood by the stone platform, seeing the men come back.He quickly waved to Cheng Langyu and said, "Sir, come and help me."

It was a hot day, Ye Liandong put all the wine in the house in a basket and sank it into the river.

The river water came down from the mountain with a comfortable coolness, and as the bottle permeated into the wine, it soaked the wine cool.

It is also a great blessing to drink in summer.

Cheng Langyu ran over directly, her hair tied up in a high bun, and her face was covered with crumbs and dust from rice splashes.

"You don't move."

Ye Liandong smiled and removed the blades of grass from his hair: "I didn't move, I just waited for my husband to come back."

A few men stood beside the stone platform washing their feet, and Cheng Langyu went up to pick up the basket.

The fingertips are next to the bottle, and just by touching it for an instant, one can think of how happy it would be to take a few sips of the wine in the bottle in this scorching weather.

At the dinner table, Ye Liandong has a strong appetite now, and eats a bowl and a half of rice every day.

While eating, he served food to the hungry man.

The second sister-in-law sat opposite her and added half of Cheng Limin's meal, and he also enjoyed it.I don't know what's going on, but in such a hot day, he should have lost his appetite, but he still eats delicious food.

Yan Tong even wondered if he had too many leisurely days, was in a good mood, and ate a lot.

Zhong Lingxiu, on the other hand, was watching Yuan Xiao Xiao and slowly picking up vegetables.Seeing that I was annoyed by the weather and couldn't eat much.

While eating, Cheng Langyu suddenly said: "The field should be busy tomorrow. We plan to go up the mountain after we are done. Are you coming?"

A few days ago, Ye Rendong said that he was going to the mountain, but a thunderstorm suddenly came the next day.

The ground was wet, and Cheng Langyu didn't dare to bring her husband up there again.

After his family's busy work is over, it will take a few days for the fields on the ancestral house to be harvested.

It just so happens that there is nothing to do these days. It is also good to go to the mountains to relax.

Zhong Lingxiu smiled and said, "Go."

Yan Tong: "Okay, let's go too."

It's too hot and boring at home, and I can still play in the mountains.

The next day, although it was a busy day, the spirits of the Cheng family brothers were better than the last.

The ground was cleaned up in one morning.

It is estimated that this year's harvest will be better than originally expected.After paying the tax, it is enough to feed the family for a year.
