Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu and others looked at the child once and saw that Xu Hong was too busy to touch the ground, so they said goodbye and left.

Before going out, I met Qi Chunhua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were visiting the house at the gate of the hospital.

The two men also held a small package in their hands without waiting for anyone to ask.

Qi Chunhua started talking loudly.

It turned out to be the diapers Goudan used when he was a child, as well as two new sets of cotton-padded clothes.

"I don't know about the two of them yet. I'm just going to make one set. Why don't I go back yesterday and have another set with Jin sister burning the midnight oil? In this way, when the two children grow up, they won't say that I, the third grandma, is partial!"

After Qi Chunhua finished speaking, she carried Chen Jinmei and walked towards the courtyard like a breeze!

"Your third aunt is aware of things now. She can wear two cotton coats at once, and her family is just a loser."

On the way home, there was no one around. Nian whispered to Liu Yu quietly!

Liu Yu burst out laughing after hearing this. The eldest uncle's family has many children, and even more grandchildren. The three uncles and three aunts are considered close relatives in the family. Every child must be given a new cotton coat so that they can look good on each other.

The third uncle and the third aunt only have one child, Goudan, in their family. In recent years, whenever the uncle's family has a new baby, the third aunt has to go to the old house to talk about it, which really puts the family at a disadvantage.

"I think the third brother's marriage is about to be decided. If a baby is born next year, the red envelopes that the third aunt has given me over the years will be able to pay back!"

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Seeing how the third aunt looks like this, I think it won’t be long before they come here to enjoy Liushan’s engagement wine!

The weather is a bit warmer than it was before the fifteenth day.

Nian and Liu Fusheng went to clean up the vegetable garden behind the house, while Liu Yu and Changsheng renovated the chicken coop and pig pen at home.

If the weather gets warmer, we can wait until February to bring back some chickens and ducks.

Piggy also needs to be raised, until the end of the year there will be money.

The dirty things cleaned out from the nest are piled into the manure tank, which is a good material for retting.

When waiting for the wheat to ear, you need to apply fertilizer for the last time to keep up with the fertility, so that the wheat grains can be full.

Both Liumeixiang and Liushan are going to build new houses, and it will take several days to mix and roll the clay.

After the wheat is cut, the next crop must be planted, sweet potatoes, sesame seeds, beans, and cotton. Manure and land must be allocated.

Everything else is fine, but the sweet potato seedlings need to be planted early.

There is no rush for cotton seedlings, and there is still time to start raising seedlings in April and May.

It's early, the cotton seedlings are too high to establish roots.

If you think about it this way, the whole spring is full of work, and there is no time for leisure.

I still have to find time to toss the bamboo rats among these tasks. When I think about it for a moment, Liu Yu's head is getting bigger.

But he has never been one to give up easily, and the weight of the bamboo rat in his heart has to be put aside for the time being.

To avoid trouble, they all get together and have fun.

Liu Yu packed up the nest, told Changsheng to rest for a while, and then went to the backyard.

backyard.

Nian and Liu Fusheng are planning for the empty land.

The land that was originally full of green vegetables has been uprooted over the winter and into the new year, and the black soil that was once full of green has been exposed.

"If you want to pull vegetables again, stick to this piece of land first. Wait until February, and your grandpa and I will use this area to raise sweet potato seedlings!"

Seeing Liu Yu coming over, Nian pointed to a place and explained.

Liu Yu looked over intently, and saw that Nian was talking about a place on the west side of the vegetable field, where a large area of ​​spinach was planted, but now only about a third of it was left.

"Our family is planting five acres of sweet potatoes, and we don't use much of the sweet potato seedlings in the spring. When we plant the autumn crops, we just cut off the seedlings and vines. This is too much!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but frown when she looked at the land marked out by Nian.

"I have discussed it with your grandpa. If we can't finish planting, we will sell it in the town. Those who only plant a few fields in the spring don't want to go to trouble, so just buy seedlings!"

Nian said cheerfully, and Liu Fusheng, who was holding a shovel at the side, also nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the two of them knew what was going on, Liu Yu said no more.

Thinking of the purpose of his coming here, he organized his speech a little, and then told Liu Fusheng and Nian Shi everything.

“Raise bamboo rats!”

After hearing this, Nian and Liu Fusheng looked at each other, but felt that it was not very reliable.

If bamboo rats are so easy to raise, they have Cuifeng Mountain at their back and there is no shortage of bamboo forests.

Why have our ancestors never raised bamboo rats before? Is it because their brains are worse than Liuyu? It is obvious that raising bamboo rats is not as easy as telling.

If one thing is not good, money will be lost and manpower will be wasted. Isn’t this all in vain!

Seeing that Liu Yu was full of confidence, Nian couldn't throw the cold water away, so he asked: "Do you know how many months it takes bamboo rats to grow, how many mice can be born in each litter, what do they eat every day, and how many mice do they eat every day?" Do you like hot, cold or humid places?”

This!

Liu Yu frowned slightly. He knew a thing or two about what bamboo rats eat.

Bamboo rats live in holes, so they definitely don't like heat.

If you ask him how many months it takes for bamboo rats to grow and how many mice each one gives birth to, he really doesn't know.

Looking at Liu Fusheng who was looking at him with a smile, Liu Yu suddenly thought of the purpose of coming here and hurriedly jumped to Liu Fusheng's side and pulled his grandpa's sleeves.

He begged softly: "This will trouble Grandpa. I think Grandpa Xu who lives in Liweizi must know something about it. You have always had a good relationship with him. Let's bring a jar of wine and go ask him for advice!"

Liu Fusheng didn't expect that he was involved in this. He remembered that Xu Hong was also a skilled hunter when he was young. He knew the habits of the species that could be sold for money in the mountains better than others.

It’s not that I really know how to raise this bamboo rat, but I just don’t know. It’s better to teach my grandson a little bit about what I know than to cross the river by feeling for stones, not knowing the depth, and then get drowned again!

"Okay, let's have dinner early in the evening. Let's grab the wine and go to Xu Hong's house to sit down!"

Liu Fusheng handed the shovel to Liu Yu and happily agreed.

"Old man, you...!"

Nian was furious when she heard that Liu Fusheng didn't offer any advice, but just started tossing along with him!

"Hey, it's not a big deal, just a few bamboo rats. If you raise them well, they will make a living. If you raise them poorly, Ayu will give up. It's just a waste of effort and time!"

Liu Fusheng waved his hand, feeling that the old woman was making a fuss out of a molehill. Young people dare to venture and do things. This is good, it has the same energy as when he was young!

Nian was very depressed when she saw Liu Fusheng defecting before the battle.

Liu Fusheng glanced at Nian and raised his eyebrows at Liu Yu, signaling for him to coax him.

Liu Yu is not used to coaxing people with sweet words, and she doesn't like to make empty promises. She just says that she wants to give it a try, and if it doesn't work, she won't mention it again in the future.

Nian sighed, patted Liu Yu's hand and said, "Grandma is just afraid that your hard work will be in vain!"

The hard work of farmers is sometimes not worth a penny. They depend on the weather all year round, and a lot of their hard work has been wasted in these years.

If you work hard and can harvest three melons and two dates, or a harvest of half a claw, no matter how little harvest and experience you have, then the hard work is worth it!
