Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

When the weather is warmer, Ji Yufeng will often bring Yang Haoyu to Xu's house to play with Xu Haiyuan's brothers and sisters.

Especially today, when Xu Haiyuan's Yuhong class is on holiday, Yang Haoyu will definitely come.

The two brothers and sisters each held an egg in their pockets like a baby, and went to the east room for dinner with their aunts and aunts.

In the morning, in addition to eggs, there are rice porridge, corn flour cakes, pickles, green onions that just sprouted from the ground, and miso.

Xu Shiyan and his wife also ate here this morning. Each of them shared two eggs, served with porridge and pickles, and the food was delicious.

The Xu Haiyuan brothers and sisters are naturally reluctant to carry the painted eggs in their pockets, which are to be kept to show off to their friends.

"Wait a minute, touch an egg before eating." Seeing that the adults were about to smash the eggs when they picked them up, Xu Haiyuan shouted quickly.

While shouting, he hurriedly picked an egg from the basin and touched Xu Chenghou first.

"Grandpa, let's come." Xu Haiyuan and Xu Chenghou's relationship is solid, and the first thing to think about is grandpa.

Xu Chenghou laughed without saying a word, picked up an egg casually, and turned his head towards Xu Haiyuan.

As soon as the two eggs touched, there was a crack, and the egg in Xu Chenghou's hand was knocked out of a hole.

"I won, I won." Xu Haiyuan was so happy that he jumped up and down.

"Grandma, grandma, come on, let's touch each other."

Victory in the first battle made Xu Haiyuan more confident, and took the egg of victory just now, and went to find Zhou Guilan again.

Zhou Guilan also followed Xu Chenghou's example, touching the small head of Xu Haiyuan's egg with the big head of the egg.

Everyone knows that there is an air chamber in the big head of an egg, which is empty, where it is the weakest and easy to break.

Sure enough, Xu Haiyuan won again, danced for him happily, and went to find Xu Shiyan again.

Xu Shiyan wanted to teach his son, so he touched it with the small head of an egg.

As a result, Xu Haiyuan was dumbfounded, and the egg in his hand was broken.

"Huh? Why did it break?"

Xu Haiyuan was very disappointed, he thought the egg in his hand was an invincible general, but he only touched two eggs and it broke.

Seeing his grandson's wrinkled and unhappy face, Xu Chenghou immediately became unhappy and glared at Xu Shiyan.

"Look at you, can't you coax the child to play for a while? You have to break an egg for him?"

Xu Shiyan just smiled, "Yuanyuan, do you know why grandpa and grandma's eggs broke just now?"

Little kid, there aren't that many people who spoil you, so you must be made to recognize the cruelty of reality.

"Because it's your grandparents who let you go.

Come on, let's crack open the eggs, and I'll show you what's inside. "

Xu Shiyan started to crack open the egg, and then told his son the structure inside the egg.

Tell him that if you touch the big head with the small head of an egg, the chance of breaking the big head is higher.

"Let me tell you, when it comes to touching eggs, you should choose smaller ones with red skins. Most of these eggs have a little thicker shells.

That kind of big egg white skin is the worst, it shatters when you touch it. "

Xu Shiyan took two eggs, a smaller red one for his son, and a larger white one for himself.

This time, both eggs touched their heads, the white egg was broken, but the red egg was unharmed. "got it?"

"Understood." Xu Haiyuan nodded, it turned out that even an egg has so much knowledge.

"Father, the goose egg is white and big, why is it not easy to break?"

The little guy remembered that the salted goose eggs were pickled at home. He tried it once last year, and it took a lot of effort to crack it.

Everyone was taken aback, no one thought that Xu Haiyuan would ask such a question.

"Eggs can't be compared with goose eggs. Goose eggs are big, but the skin is very thick, so they are strong."

Xu Shiyan touched the top of his son's head and smiled.

The little guy rolled his eyes and immediately smiled at his mother.

"Mom, cook me a goose egg later. I'm going to take the goose egg and touch it with them to see who's the best?"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Is this a trick a six-year-old can come up with?Take goose eggs to touch other people's eggs, then who can compare?

"No, don't harm my goose eggs. I plan to hold goose eggs for those goose eggs at home."

Su Anying smiled and waved her hands, this son, there is no way to fix it, he can come up with all sorts of ideas.

"Hug a goose? Why hug?"

Children's attention is easily diverted. As soon as Xu Haiyuan heard about holding goslings, Xu Haiyuan inquired curiously.

"It is to give the goose eggs to Lao Baozi, let Lao Baozi lay down on the nest to incubate the eggs, and after 31 days, goslings will come out.

At that time, you can gather vegetables and feed the goslings. When the geese grow up, they can lay eggs and eat meat. "Su Anying patiently explained to her son.

There are many ways to incubate the eggs. You can let old hens come to nest, or you can artificially incubate them.

Spread a small quilt on the kang, put eggs inside, keep the temperature constant, turn it frequently, and chicks and geese will hatch in due time.

Most of the breeding eggs on the farm are hatched in this way.

But not at home, there are too many children.

The two were mischievous, they couldn't make it together and forgot to go to the kang one day, and they sat on the quilt with their buttocks, breaking the eggs.

Not to mention the two little ones, they are crawling all over the kang, who knows where they can climb?

Wouldn't it be easier to crush a few eggs?

The big ones can remind them at least, maybe they can remember, but the small ones don't understand at four or six, so reminding them is useless.

So Su Anying still decided to use the old bunny as a hug.

The garden at home is so big, especially the bottom of the hillside is full of grass, and a few big geese can eat grass and so on.

Goose is stupid, if you can't climb the steep slope, you won't harm the vegetables on it.

The family doesn't raise chickens anymore, his house is too close to the back mountain, chickens are prone to yellow skin, and they can fly around, causing harm to the vegetable garden.

Anyway, there are a lot of chickens raised in the farm, and there is no shortage of eggs to eat. It doesn't take much trouble to raise a few big geese at home.

When the eggs are laid, pickle some salted goose eggs, and keep them for the mountain to bring rice or something. It's better than pickled vegetables.

2 Chapter [-] Farming

After Qingming, the temperature rises, and every household starts to prepare for spring plowing.

Cracking corn stubble in the field, arranging what to plant this year, and also needing ponds and thatch sheds for ginseng, are all very busy.

Xu Shiyan was transferred to work in a field, and he only had time off on Sundays, so he couldn't help much with family affairs.

Xu Chenghou had to take care of the seven-acre fields of the two families, nearly one acre of private land, and the sticks for the ginseng.

It is also a bit difficult for the old man in his 60s.

Xu Shiyan and his wife discussed that it would be better to let others grow their own land, and just give them some food when the time comes.

Xu Shiyan at home eats the food supply, and the children can't eat much when they are young. Besides, it is not impossible to buy food now, so there is really no need to make Xu Chenghou suffer.

It would be more reasonable to concentrate on managing those clubs and farms.

The couple agreed and went to discuss with Xu Chenghou, but Xu Chenghou refused to let him go.

An old farmer all his life, what can he do without farming?

Now this land is our own, no matter what it is, we have to plant it.

The two sides were deadlocked, and no one would give in.

"Father, if you don't agree, I have no choice but to wean the two little ones.

With so much land, I can’t let you do it alone. I plant our own land by myself.

It's okay, when I didn't go out, I planted the land at home. "

Seeing that this was not going to work, Su Anying simply resorted to her trump card, and she wanted to wean the child.

"What? Wean the baby? How can that be done? These two are less than a birthday old, how can you wean them?"

When Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan heard it, they were all blown away.

"At that time, Yuanyuan, you were the one who was pregnant with Pingping, and you weaned it when you really ran out of milk, so it took eleven months anyway.

At that time, Pingping drank breast milk for [-] months, and co-authored it on these two heads. You will be weaned after only [-] months?

No, absolutely not, let me tell you, at least one birthday, don't try to cheat my grandchildren. "

Zhou Guilan was very angry.

"Mom, what do you say?

There are several acres of land waiting to be planted here, and someone has to work on the Bangchui field on the mountain, and the farm at the other end is about to build a flower shed.

Shi Yan can't take care of work, don't I have to ask for it?

These two cubs are not going to stop milking, can I go up the mountain to plant half of the land and come back to feed them? "

With the support of her husband, Su Anying's attitude is also quite tough.

Otherwise, there is no way, there is no reason to tell the old man, so this is the only way to do it.

Zhou Guilan choked for a moment, that's right, so much work was thrown to her daughter-in-law, and there were two nursing children at home, it was really embarrassing.

"Father, Mom, what about you two now, with the food and money my eldest brother and the others give you every month, you can't actually lack much food.

That private land, and the well-divided land in the team, let's grow some by ourselves, that's enough.

For the rest of the land, whoever wants to plant it can plant it, and just give us some food in autumn.

In this way, my father will take care of two or three acres of land, as well as a stick on the mountain, and Yingzi will help.

In the past two years, when the child is a little older, it will be slowed down, right? "

Xu Shiyan sang "Red Face" and "Slime Mud" in the middle.

There is no need to wait two or three years, at most until next autumn and winter, when the Clivia in the flower shed is sold, there will be less thought there.

The participation of the brigade has not been tossing for a few years, and it will be done by individuals in the future.

At that time, Xu Shiyan will find a way to join forces with Huang Shengli and the others to approve the land together, and hire blind people to work. He can just go up and take a look on Sunday.

As for that bit of land, if the old man likes to plant, he can plant it, and if he wants to plant less, it is a sport.

Otherwise, this old man has been busy all his life, and it is really uncomfortable for him to be idle suddenly.

The couple sang together, and the old couple had to take care of their grandchildren. In the end, they had no choice but to surrender.

"That's fine, just follow what the third child said, let's keep some good land for ourselves, and grow some of our favorite food.

For others, I will ask, and anyone who wants to plant them can plant them. "The stubborn old man finally stopped being stubborn and nodded in agreement.

Xu Shiyan and his wife looked at each other, couldn't help but chuckled, and finally it made sense.

Therefore, Xu Chenghou said that his own land cannot be grown, and whoever is willing to plant it, just give some food in autumn.

Not to mention, several families came to ask, and finally gave it to a family with a good relationship with the Xu family, surnamed Fu.

The two parties agreed that a total of five and a half acres of land would be given to the Xu family forty catties of soybeans and two hundred catties of corn in autumn.

This year's grain production is not high, too much is not enough, and people can't afford it and stop planting.

The remaining one and a half mu of good land, together with the private land of the two families, was reserved for Xu Chenghou to plant.

Xu Chenghou had thought about it a long time ago, and wanted to grow some millet, millet, sorghum for brooms, adzuki beans, soybeans, and sticky corn.

As he said, grow a little of everything and save it for the family to eat.

I have livestock and a plow stick at home, so I don't need to ask for help. At four o'clock in the morning, Xu Shiyan and his father put on the plow stick and went to the ground together.

After two mornings, the trip was over.

On Sunday, together with Su Anying, the few of them planted the land in one afternoon.

After planting the land, the family has no more thoughts, and the flower shed at the other end of the farm should also start construction.
