It was still dark, and the cold wind blew through the sticks, making a whining sound.

"Second sister, what's wrong?"

After a tiring day yesterday, Xu Dahai really didn't want to leave the warm bed, so he sat up and shouted through the window.

"I'll borrow a car for a ride."

"what??"

click~

Soon, Xu Dahai put on his pants and a coat and walked out of the house. A waning moon hung in the sky, the wind was blowing, and it was a bit cold.

Opening the fence door, Xu Dahai helped his second sister Xu Mei push the car, inflated and tested the tires. He found that the rear tires were low on air, so he took the air tube and inflated some more.

"The rear tire of the one I often ride also has a flat tire, and I can't even hit it. Maybe it's damaged somewhere."

Second sister Xu Mei watched Xu Dahai inflate the rear tire and explained casually:

"My dad rode the other one and went to the market early in the morning."

There were only two [-]-inch bikes in my mother's yard. One was broken down and the other was driven away. The second sister, Xu Mei, had no choice but to come to Xu Dahai's yard to ride a bike.

"Going to the market? Where is the big market today?"

"Huaying Township Fair."

"Good guy, it's so far away and you have to get up so early to go..." Xu Dahai couldn't help but sigh, interest is indeed the biggest motivation.

Or in terms of "playing", his father Xu Houtian is really not afraid of hard work.

If he wanted to get up early to work in the fields, his father Xu Houtian would never go.

When it comes to going to the market, it doesn't matter how early you get up, no matter how far or how tired you are.

"Did our dad go alone?"

"It's impossible. I went with my mother."

The second sister Xu Mei rode away on the [-]th pole. The ringing of the bells gradually faded away and soon disappeared at the corner of the dirt road.

The morning light is faint and the cold wind is blowing.

Xu Dahai yawned and went back to the house to sleep.

He didn't even eat breakfast and slept until nearly ten o'clock. When he got up, he ate a few pieces of cake with boiled water.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiuxiu and I fertilized the vegetable patch in the front yard, plowed the soil, and planted beans and cucumbers.

"It's a little late to plant our vegetables. Xiao Tingzi and her second grandma planted them in their yard a few days ago."

Wang Xiuxiu said as she bent down to water the water.

Xu Dahai found a small tile, squatted on the ground and scraped the dirt on the shovel. The used shovel should be cleaned up in time.

If wet soil is allowed to adhere to the surface of the shovel, the surface of the shovel will rust within a day.

If it gets rusty, it won't be useful.

"It was planted early, and the germination rate was not high when the temperature was low. Besides, although we planted it a few days late, the seeds were already germinated and they did not grow slowly."

"Will the back garden still be planted?"

"Plant! But I'm tired today, so let's plant again tomorrow."

"Pfft~ Are you tired after doing such a little work? Others wake up early and work in the fields until dusk, and they don't even feel tired after working all day."

Wang Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled. After watering the last small pit, she and Xu Dahai put the seeds and buried them in soil.

The whole process is to spread fertilizer, dig soil, level the ground, dig holes, water, put seeds, and bury soil.

The soil must be buried after watering, that is, sprinkle a layer of moist floating soil, so that when the seeds grow slowly, they can easily break through the soil layer.

The big orange cat lay on the eaves and basked in the sun, making its fur fluffy and soft.Relax and enjoy.

But the four hunting dogs acted silly, swooping on the spot and jumping around, wanting to have fun with Xu Dahai.

"Go, go, have fun, and don't get into the vegetable garden."

Xu Dahai drove the dogs out, and then Wang Xiuxiu said:

“We don’t compare with others, we should compare less and be more relaxed.

Besides, we can’t compare with anyone who has suffered more. They also envy us for being relaxed. "

Wang Xiuxiu laughed again in an instant.

It is said that many villagers are indeed very self-disciplined. No one cares about them, and no one asks them to, so they can get up early every day, carry a hoe or a shovel, and go to work in the fields under the stars.

The key is that you can't see any profit every day.

The ground was plucked, the grass was gathered, and the seedlings were planted... Big beads of sweat fell to the ground and broke into eight petals. In the end, my waist was so tired that I could hardly stand up straight.

But the income is very low.

in the evening.

My mother came over with a basket and lifted the cloth covering the basket. There was some tofu inside.

In addition to delivering tofu, my mother also asked them to go to the courtyard to eat together. She said she had braised the deer head and asked them to come and eat it together.

"Deer head? Okay."

"Is one deer head enough to feed so many people?"

"I also stewed venison with pickled cabbage. If the deer head is not enough, I will eat venison with pickled cabbage."

When Xu Dahai's family of three locked the fence gate and walked into the sunset, they came to my mother's yard.

I saw a simple stove set up in the yard. There was a large iron pot on the stove with a deer head stewed in the pot.

gurgle gurgle~

Large pieces of chopped firewood were burning, and the jumping flames licked the bottom of the pot.

Hot steam mixed with a strong aroma came out along the seams of the pot and filled the yard.

"Two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, Ma Lian blooms 21..."

Xiaoxiang, Xiaohua, Erya from the third uncle's family, and Sanxi from Xu Ercai's family, the four little girls are dancing rubber bands on the east side of the yard, next to Luqi.

Xiaoxiang and Erya were holding each other, while Xiaohua and Sanxi were dancing, like two happy little butterflies.

Father Xu Houtian was humming a little tune and pulling the firewood under the pot to let them burn more fully.

At this time, my mother came out with the table and asked: "Shopkeeper, are we really eating in the yard?"

"Just eat in the courtyard, it's so bright."

My father, Xu Houtian, bought a lot of spices from the market today and put them all in when braised the deer heads. I don’t know how they taste.

However, my father, Xu Houtian, was full of confidence and kept saying: "Don't worry, it will definitely be delicious! If it's not delicious, don't eat it. I'll eat it all myself!"

……

Xiao Tingzi also wanted to do rubber band jumping, but Xu Dahai asked her to move a small bench.

"Humph~"

The little girl stomped her feet, but still entered the house, and soon came out carrying a small stool in each hand.

My mother saw this scene and smiled instantly:

"The big laziness supports the little laziness, and the little laziness stares... Don't ask Xiao Tingzi to do the work you can do yourself. She is still young, and you are no longer in your seventies."

"Yes, mother, I understand."

Xu Dahai took two small stools, handed one to Wang Xiuxiu, and sat on the other himself.

Before he could say anything else, he asked: "Is this a three-corner bean plant? It seems to have grown out??"

"Three rows of green beans and three rows of cucumbers. Last year I planted four rows of green beans. I couldn't eat them all. Many of them were old and thrown into the ditch."

"Aren't we still going to dry the beans?"

"It needs to be dried, but three fields of beans are enough."

The breeze is blowing and the sun is setting. Sitting in the yard chatting with my family, I feel very comfortable and comfortable, and even time seems to slow down.

The little sprouts of green beans break through the soil and emerge from the ground. They are particularly delicate and full of vitality at first.

There was a deer head stewed in the pot, and it would take a while before it could be eaten. So my mother went to the house and brought some eggplant seedlings from the root of the water urn, and shared a portion with Wang Xiuxiu.

The eggplant seedlings are about 30 centimeters high, and there is still a lot of wet mud at the roots. The survival rate is very high when planted in vegetable beds.
