Defeat natural disasters with farming

Ye Ru's full moon ceremony was not grand, it was just a simple dinner at home for relatives and friends.

When Ye Yu's family passed by, they saw Mrs. Ye holding a red floral swaddle in her arms.

"Just find a place to put things down. If my sister just fell asleep, I really can't pull my hands out." Sister Ye whispered.

Seeing this, Mother Ye hurried over to help, "Why didn't Sister Ru follow her mother?"

"Pandi is not feeling well, and it happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I simply help her take care of the child." Sister Ye turned slightly, "You see how cute sister Ru is, her little mouth moves even when she is asleep."

Mother Ye's heart almost melted, "Didn't you want Brother Bao's old clothes before? I cut a few pieces, come and see if you can wear them."

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she immediately said straightforwardly: "Brother Bao's clothes are all good, so there is nothing you can't wear."

In the case of a shortage of cloth, the clothes in the general family are passed on from brother to sister, until they are completely turned into rags to end their life as clothes.

Ye Yu is one of the exceptions, the main reason is that there are too many older brothers in front of him, and the clothes often become rags at home before they are passed on to him, and Ye Hai and Ye He were naughty when they were young. It stinks in half a year, not only Ye Yu despises it, but even their mothers will talk about it for a long time every time they wash their clothes, they despise it so much.

"Sister Ru is asleep, wait for me to put her on the rocker first." Sister Ye took a small thin blanket from the side and put it on Ye Ru.

Mother Ye responded, and then told Ye Yu: "You will be like a sister first, and I will cook with your aunt."

Ye Yu was taking off the coir raincoat she was wearing at this time, and after untiing it, she hung it on the shelf by the door, when she heard Ye Mu's words, she said "OK."

After Ye's mother left, Ye He moved closer to Ye Yu and whispered to him, "The atmosphere at home is very bad recently, my mother is sulking with my sister-in-law, and even Xinghua doesn't want to talk to my sister-in-law. "

"what's up?"

The same question also appeared in the kitchen, and Mother Ye was asking Mrs. Ye.

Aunt Ye sighed deeply, "You don't know, but my sister invited Dr. Hao once just after she was born, and her mother didn't even notice that her child had a fever."

"Besides, Pandi's milk is not enough. Even if I stew crucian carp soup every day, it's not enough for my sister to drink. I have to boil goat's milk to feed her."

Mother Ye frowned upon hearing this, "Sister Ru is her own daughter."

Mrs. Ye continued to complain while cutting the meat, "No, I left sister Ru by my side for the time being, Pandi didn't say a word, not even a word of instruction."

Speaking of this, she asked Ye Mu again: "When Brother Bao gets married in the future, you must remember to learn about the woman's family tradition. Now I finally understand what it means to be influenced by what you see. Thinking of my heart being so deeply influenced by Mrs. Wu."

Mother Ye hesitated to speak at this time, but she hesitated for a while before she spoke, "When sister Ru is well, I still have to let Haigeer Pandi and the others take care of her."

Children raised by grandparents are likely to have a bad relationship with their parents, so for the sake of the children, no matter what, they still have to be raised by their parents.

Aunt Ye nodded, "Don't worry, I will send sister Ru back when Pandi is confinement today."

In the main room, Ye He was also talking about this matter to Ye Yu. In order not to wake Ye Ru up, he kept his voice very low, and at the end he couldn't help but raise his voice to express his incomprehension.

"Why do you say this is so important? Xinghua got angry because of this. She didn't talk to me for several days. I feel wronged. What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Yu patted his arm to make him lower his voice, "Don't be angry."

Ye He lowered his voice at the right time, "Oh, I can't understand anyway."

Now that we have reached this point, Ye Yu asked again, "Where are Er Bo and the others cooking now?"

"It's just cooking in a new house built next to the house you lived in." Ye He sighed deeply, "I really don't want to separate the family. It was so lively before."

However, the points have already been divided, and they can only try their best to adapt.

While they were chatting while taking care of Ye Ru, relatives and friends came over one after another. The first one to show up was Ye Ru's natal family, and then Ye Hai's natal family.

At the end of the meal, the whole main room was full of people. They came not so much to celebrate Ye Ru's full moon, but to take advantage of this day to have a small gathering.

It is rare for relatives to come together so much, so old man Ye happily brought home-made rice wine,

The alcohol content of the rice wine is very low, even Ye Yu can drink a glass.

It was raining heavily outside the house, but the house was full of heat. The men sat at one table, punching, drinking, bragging and flattering horses, and the women sat at the same table in twos and threes, chatting and gossiping.

Ye Yu took a sip of the rice wine, then stuck out her tongue, picked up a chopstick and fried a gourd and put it in her mouth to get rid of the smell of wine.

Everyone finished the meal lively. After the meal, Mother Ye tied a silver bean tied with a red string to Ye Ru's hand.

"Ping An Dou, keep safe, I hope we will live a safe and happy life like a sister."

Ye Ru grinned happily, and everyone came up to tease her.

"This child is not afraid of life, has a really good temper, and looks like her aunt." Mrs. Ye said while hugging her.

"Like a peach blossom, beautiful and majestic." Zhaodi said this sincerely.

Taohua was happy when she heard the words, waved her hands and said, "Don't boast, don't boast, it makes me blush."

At this time, Ye Yu noticed that the smile on the face of Pandi's sister-in-law who was sitting on the side was only superficial, and his heart suddenly moved. Could it be postpartum depression?All kinds of situations are indeed similar.

People with postpartum depression often feel depressed, and in severe cases, they can't even take care of their children.

Nowadays, there is no scientific treatment, so we can only work hard on psychology and physiology. The first is to maintain a good relationship between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and parent-child relationship, and then pay attention to rest and supplement nutrition.

However, there is not much Ye Yu can do right now, the most he can do is remind Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye to pay more attention before leaving.

Mrs. Ye responded, "I asked Pandi's mother and her sisters to come over twice more, and have a good chat with Pandi."

Afterwards, Ye Yu's family braved the rain to go home, and the heavy rain made a crackling sound on the coir raincoat and hat.

As soon as she got home, Ye Mu murmured: "Recently, good news has spread frequently. Peach blossoms and lotus flowers are also destined. Not only did they get married on the same day, but even the timing of their weddings seems to be different."

Father Ye was taken aback when he heard the words, "Is there any good news for the two of them?"

"Yeah, because it's not three months old, I didn't say anything about it. I just told us when we were chatting in the room." Mother Ye was very happy about this. It's a good thing that the family has a prosperous population.

At this time, Father Ye's face was quite emotional, "It's great, time flies so fast, I always thought they were still children back then."

Mother Ye glanced at him, "Brother Bao is going to get married in a few years."

"Brother Bao is not in a hurry, it would be better later." Father Ye replied.

-

Half a month has passed since Ye Ru's full moon banquet, and the rain hasn't stopped in the past half month. Ye Yu always feels that the air is filled with strong humidity. Everywhere in the house is damp, and the ground and walls are floating. There is a layer of fine water droplets, no matter how you wipe it, it will not dry.

Therefore, the floor heating was turned on early in the house, and it was warm everywhere.

Ye Mu stepped on the floor tiles and said with emotion: "The floor heating is indeed much more comfortable and convenient than the kang."

Ye Yu put the peeled walnuts on a plate and handed it to Mother Ye, "It's just as long as it's comfortable."

Mother Ye glanced at the plate while knitting the sweater, "Eat first, I'll finish knitting the sweater, otherwise the broken walnuts will get on the woolen thread, and you'll be in a panic when you wear it later."

Ye Yu took a piece of walnut kernel and put it near his mother's mouth. Seeing her eat it, she withdrew her hand and ate two pieces herself.

He said: "There are so many walnuts at home, I guess I can't finish them, how about I use them to extract oil?"

These walnuts are all picked on the mountain. This year, their village found a walnut grove on Songshan Mountain. There are more than a dozen walnut trees in it, and the number of walnuts produced is extremely large. Each family gets a large basket of walnuts.

Mother Ye nodded and said, "You go."

It is not difficult to extract oil from walnuts, but it is a bit troublesome.

First, peel the walnuts, remove the thin skin on the walnut kernels, and leave only a clean walnut kernel.

Then Ye Yu dug out the stone pestle and mortar from the firewood room, put in the walnut kernels, pounded them two or three times, the kernels became finely divided, and the finer the walnut kernels, the higher the oil yield.

Immediately afterwards, he placed the steamer for steaming buns on the stove, and spread the pounded walnut kernels on the steamer with a layer of white cloth. As time went by, the stove gradually filled with the mellow aroma of walnuts.

There is a wooden oil tank that is not commonly used at home. The last step is to scoop the steamed walnut kernels into it, and then press hard to squeeze out the oil.

The mellow and translucent walnut oil is extremely versatile. Compared with lard, it has a slightly bitter aroma of walnuts and is more suitable for cold dishes.

So at noon today, Mother Ye picked two small cucumbers from the vegetable field, and made a simple cold preserved egg with freshly made walnut oil.

During the meal, she said: "I saw that the vegetables in the vegetable field were wilted under the rain. After eating, I had to put a layer of oil paper on it."

Father Ye responded, "I'll go later."

Oil paper is made of hemp paper coated with a layer of tung oil. Today’s oil paper umbrellas use this kind of paper. It is very waterproof and easy to make, so every household always has a roll.

Ye Yu picked up the bowl and drank up the lotus root pork ribs soup in one gulp. He had already eaten up the tender corn in the bowl. The soup tasted so sweet that it made people want to drink again after finishing a bowl.

Then he followed Father Ye and braved the rain to unfold a roll of oiled paper to cover the vegetable field, and fixed the four corners to the fence. They didn't enter the house until they were sure that the oiled paper would not be blown away by the wind. .

The oil paper failed to cover the entire vegetable field, as if the gourd vines and grape vines were exposed on the fence. Fortunately, the roots were covered, so that even if the vines were discounted by the rain, it would be fine, and they would grow back in the future .

When the two of them entered the room, Mother Ye handed over the towel, "The water is ready, hurry up and take a hot bath."

Father Ye asked Ye Yu to go first, "I'll take a look at the furnace cavity at this time, if the charcoal inside is gone, I'll burn some more."

Ye Yu didn't refuse either, the coir raincoat couldn't stop the wind and rain outside, and he was almost completely soaked now, in order not to get sick, he had better take a bath and put on dry clothes.

The bathroom is next to it, and it is also covered with underfloor heating, coupled with the rather high temperature hot water in the wooden barrel, the smoke made Ye Yu's face slightly blush.

Taking a bath in the cold weather can really be said to be a kind of enjoyment. Ye Yu took half a quarter of an hour to soak before putting on his clothes and coming out. His wet hair was wrapped in a woolen towel, and he looked steaming.
