Chapter 44 - Wasteland
Each of them put their few clothes, shoes and socks on one by one. Young Pearl rolled on the Kang, which is more than enough for the three people to sleep, and looked at the surrounding environment with great satisfaction: “This is our home! Great!”
After changing the basin of clean water, Young Yin returned and saw her with such joy, and said with a smile: “Yeah, we still have our own room and cabinet!” The sisters said with a smile, to the new life Full of longing. Outside, young Luo took the young silk to play mud in the yard. In the main room, the Su family coaxed the twins to sleep. The young treasure in the east wing took the young silk to wipe the table and chairs. The young gold in the kitchen was busy preparing for the first in the new home The meal, the freshmen of the Su family, began.
On the first day of moving into the new home, Youjin stewed a large pot of potato roast meat and steamed a large pot of coarse grain rice. The family ate a full meal with fragrant gravy, and after dinner, they were in the kitchen. I took the hot water to the shower cubicle and took a shower, before going back to my room to sleep.
In the east wing room, You Ling slept next to You Jin. At the age of five, she followed a large group of people from Liutun Town to Wuliqiao, and was still not fit: “Sanjie, we really Don’t you go home? “She called the younger sister Jin Jin for so many years, but she was not used to changing her mind at all.
“Do you want to go back?” Young Jin didn’t answer her question, but instead asked her, “Doesn’t you like here?”
You Ling’s eyelids were a little bit dark, and she thought for a moment before she shook her head slightly: “It’s good here, there is no father, no milk, no one beats us …” Although You Ling is still young, I am also very dependent on young children. Although I have some uneasy fears when I come to a completely strange environment, as long as there are Su family and others around, the uneasiness and fears have dissipated a lot.
“Then we won’t go back, and this will be our house afterwards.” You Jin patted her lightly and coaxed her to sleep. Youya, who was already very tired, fell asleep for a moment. Young Jin covered several small quilts around her and fell asleep soon.
In the dream, Youjin saw a young woman who was about twenty-three to fourteen years old, with a wicker-like figure, and a pair of apricot eyes appeared very gentle. She bowed to Yingying Yingying: “Miss Su, thank you!” Going away in the distance, the figure gradually disappeared between the vast white fog.
The golden light spilled into the house along the window slit, and the sky was already bright outside, but none of the Su’s family got up. Young Jin rolled over comfortably before opening her eyes lazily, watching the dust flying happily in the sunlight in the house, her heart was inexplicably a kind of contented slack, she had n’t been so scared in years Someone suddenly rushed in and scolded himself, could it be lazy to sleep until three days in the sky?
When I think of the woman I dreamed of last night, it must have been the strong daughter of the Qin family, who was a married woman. Looking back at last night, there was no gloomy face on her face, but it was a peaceful one. She thanked herself and turned and left. Presumably she was reborn? I sat on the kang for a while and then took a while to sit up from the kang, gently covered some small kicked quilts, then got up and put on my own shoes, and quietly left the east room Going to the kitchen, she had to prepare the family’s breakfast.
When the young gold was busy in the kitchen, the young silver and young pearls also rose up, and the sisters worked together, but it didn’t take long to prepare the breakfast. You Yin brought the share of Su’s family to the main room. You Jin also said yesterday that Su’s family has not yet given birth, so she won’t let her out, so Su’s had to stay in the main room until the confinement was full. until.
After breakfast, Young Jin carried his **** and took her sisters to the acre of wasteland at the entrance of Su’s house to prepare for the wasteland.
“Elder sister, what are we going to grow? Do we grow food?” Young Yin, holding a sickle in his hand, looked at the wasteland covered with weeds and couldn’t help but worry: “When should we sort out such grass?” ? When we sort it out, I’m afraid it’s too busy for farming. “
Young silver and young pearls cut weeds in front, young gold waved a **** and scooped the soil on the ground where weeds had been cut, and young Ayao Luo followed her to pick up the grass roots in the soil and pile them aside, The five sisters cooperated well. Seeing You Yin asking this question, You Jin outlined her plan: “We will not grow food this spring, and now there are no animals at home. We can’t eat a few farms. I want to grow some fruits and vegetables. It ’s fast, and when you ’re done, you can pick up some money in the city and sell some money, and you can change the food. “
When the young gold came out of Cuifeng Village, the garlic seeds that had been pulled out of Cuifeng Mountain had also been taken. Plus yesterday, I also bought a lot of vegetable seeds in Luohe Prefecture. It is also feasible. After all, there is no strong labor force in the family nowadays. Growing food is definitely difficult. It is better to grow some vegetables and pull them into Luohe Prefecture to exchange some money.
Youzhu was a little worried about not getting money: “This kind of dish is available for every household. We can sell other people as well. Elder Sister, how would it be good if we couldn’t exchange money?” Yesterday, the cheapest coarse grains I bought from Luohe State cost one or two or three dollars for a stone.
Young Jin put the **** in the ground, stood upright and took a break for a while, smiling and comforting some worried sisters: “Relax, since the elder sister can take you out, she will definitely make everyone full. Yes, it is imperative for us to clear the land now, and then quickly plant the vegetables, otherwise let ’s not pick the vegetables and sell them in the city, because we do n’t have enough to eat by ourselves. “
After hearing a few children, all of them were very worried that they had no food to eat, and the work in their hands was much faster, and they fell out of the two ridges after half a day. The young gold piled up the weeds that had been cut out in the previous two days and burned them to the ground, and then burned them to ashes, and then used them evenly to fertilize them.
Several older children of the Su family spent four days in a row, and finally cleared the one acre of wasteland at the door. Because it is used to grow vegetables, the land is hooked up one by one. The river of Wuliqiao in the Su family ’s field is not far away. The young gold has drawn live water from the river to irrigate. After the land is soaked, On the second day, all the wild garlic brought from Cuifeng Village was broken up, and all of them were planted into the ground, and then I spent a few bucks to buy back from a family in Wuliqiao. Dry straw was spread in the field where the garlic seedlings were planted, and then enough water was poured, and the three rows of garlic were planted in the field.
The remaining area is planted with potatoes, cabbage, small greens, pumpkins and other vegetables and fruits. One acre of land is full when the local area is full.
After planting the vegetables, you only need to draw water every one or two days to irrigate. These are small things. You can do it with young silver and young pearls. The young gold who can finally make time has to start thinking about finding some ways to eat and make money for the family.
The first thing to be solved is the food problem of the Su family, because the food has always been bad. The milk of the Su family can’t keep up. The two babies waiting for feeding have not seen long meat these days, but they have lost a bit of weight. Young Jin looked anxious, remembering that in the previous life he heard people saying that crucian carp can give milk, he went to the ground to dig out a lot of earthworms, and knocked a few thick needles to make a curved fish hook, and then Go fishing on the west side of Wuliqiao River.
The Wuliqiao River is about three or four meters wide, and the water flowing in front of the Sujiamen is slow. The children of Wuliqiao also like to play in the river and play with fish in summer, but it is only spring now There will be no one in the natural river. The hungry fish smelled the scent of earthworms and naturally hooked one by one on the ground. However, half an hour later, Jin Jin caught three crucian carp with large adult palms, and two red carps with a weight of nearly two catties, which can be said to be quite fruitful.
After an afternoon, he actually caught half a barrel of fish. Several women who came back from Shimoda watched a young half-big girl who was a young girl fishing there. They all felt new. They came over and looked at it for a while. They thought it was a kid to play with. Most of the barrels of fish looked at them with envy: “Are you a newly moved girl from the west of the river? Did you catch a lot of fish?”
Young Jin looked at the three women who were relatively kind, and pulled a few rattan sticks, and quickly skewered three fish and handed them to three people: “Three aunts, we are new here. Neighbors, please take care of our family. “
The young gold chooses about a pound of carp. Although the three women are a little embarrassed, they still accepted it. After all, there are no fishes. As the so-called cannibalism was short, and the hands were soft, the three women laughed and enthusiasm for three minutes after receiving the golden fish, but they became familiar in a while.
The four men spoke for a while, and the three women brought each other with a big carp, and they also had a good impression of the Su family on the west side of the river: “Don’t say this little girl is really going to be involved, Such a big fish gave us three at once, and it didn’t hurt! “
“Yes! To know that such a big fish can sell twenty articles even if it is sold in Luohe!” A woman with a big phoenix and a big mouth laughed so hard that she couldn’t see her teeth. What to eat in the evening is right now, just now in spring, there are not many things to eat, and the children in the family are also greedy for the tight meat. It is easy to get a fish, but it is necessary to get it to eat. .
The other woman was a little embarrassed: “These twenty essays are not decimals, or will we also send some vegetables and other things to the Su family tomorrow? Does n’t the young gold say that her mother is still confinement? I see them Just moved, there must be no food to eat. “The other two women heard it and found it reasonable. Even if you gave them half a basket of potatoes and cabbage, would you still get it yourself?
This evening, the Su family also had a full meal, and the young gold caught a total of eight carp and six crucian carp. For dinner, the soup was simmered with two crucian carp for Su’s, and then the sisters ate carp roasted with salt. The remaining six carps and four crucian carp are kept in the kitchen with fresh water, so that you can eat fish every day, and you can also eat for three or five days!
