Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Zheng Qingming helped expand the pigpen and added a shed on top of it.

With two more piglets in the family, the amount of grass to be cut every day increased.

In addition, he had to save money for the winter, so Zheng Xiaoman ran to the back mountain early every morning.

In the morning, Zheng Qingming went to the river to fish, then went to the fields to weed. After coming back, he went to the mountain to carry back the pig grass that his sister had cut.

The two of them were busy for a few days and had accumulated several piles of pig feed in the backyard.

It was soon late September and the crops in the fields were ready to be harvested.

The family was allocated three acres of land, one acre was planted with corn, one acre was planted with sorghum, and the other acre was planted with rice.

This crop of grain has been harvested, and we have to plant winter wheat before the frost falls.

This is the only way to harvest another crop of grain in the summer.

Fortunately, they could harvest two crops a year, so that the family would not starve to death in ancient times when the yield per mu was not high.

On the other side, Uncle Zheng’s land was the same as theirs, and the harvest time should have been the same.

In the past, their family was almost always responsible for the grain harvest every year, and my uncle always found an excuse not to work.

Either he is sick or he has sprained his waist.

My aunt-in-law was the same, she refused to go to the fields, using the excuse of cooking at home.

The two families separated this year, and since there was no one to help them this time, they had to go down to the fields to harvest the crops by themselves.

On the day of harvesting the crops, Zhou Chunfeng and her son got up early, had breakfast, and went to the fields together.

As soon as they arrived at the field, they saw Old Man Zheng, Old Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Chunhua already waiting there.

Even the two daughters of the old family came along to help.

Zhou Chunfeng hurried over and asked, "Dad, why are you here? Didn't my eldest brother's family confiscate the grain?"

Old Man Zheng shook his head. “Your eldest brother’s family said they would collect the items in two days, so we’ll come and help you collect them first.”

Zhou Chunfeng didn't say anything more, otherwise the three acres of land would depend on her and her eldest son, and it would take at least half a month to harvest them.

As for Mr. Zheng’s family, their grain should have been harvested long ago, but the couple were both lazier than each other and neither of them wanted to move, so they kept putting it off.

When she found out that her two money-losing children had gone to help the second brother's family, Ma Meihua was so angry that she jumped up and down in the yard and cursed for a long time.

But there was no one at home, so no one could hear what she was saying.

Zheng Xinghe was annoyed listening to this in the room, and he yelled at her twice before she finally calmed down.

Everyone in the family went to the fields. Zheng Xiaoman fed the pigs early in the morning and added some spiritual spring water to their water troughs.

Looking at the three pigs drinking happily, she carried the basket and went up the mountain again.

After coming back from cutting grass for the pigs, she went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and after it cooled down, she poured it into the bucket.

He took a few more bowls and put them in the basket on his back, then carried the bucket of water and walked towards his own field.

"Mom, I've brought you some water. Come over here and have a rest and drink some water."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't see anyone nearby, so he shouted towards the ground.

"Hey, I'm coming right over."

Zhou Chunfeng responded from inside and called her parents to go out and drink some water.

It was not until a few people came out of the cornfield that Zheng Xiaoman realized there were so many people.

She guessed that her grandparents and aunt would come to help, but she didn't expect that her two cousins ​​would also come.

She only brought five bowls, and several people took turns drinking water.

The two cousins ​​didn't say much. They just drank some water and sat aside to rest.

The two cousins ​​felt a little embarrassed when looking at this cousin, after all, she was almost forced to death by their mother before.

Zheng Xiaoman never blamed his two cousins. Instead, he felt quite sympathetic towards them.

I have a mother who is patriarchal and unreasonable. I have to work hard every day and still get scolded.

Compared to her cousin, she is much happier.

Fortunately, the two cousins ​​grew up almost entirely with their mother, and their personalities were not distorted by their aunt.

"Mom, do you want to go home for lunch at noon, or should I bring it to you?" Zheng Xiaoman sat next to Zhou Chunfeng and fanned her with the leaves of a big tree.

Before Zhou Chunfeng could say anything, Old Man Zheng said, "Please send the lunch over here at noon. Your home is far away and it will take too long to go back and forth.

Take advantage of the good weather these few days to quickly harvest the crops in the fields. Once the crops are harvested and brought home, we can feel at ease. "

"Okay, I'll prepare the meal and bring it over later."

Zhou Chunfeng looked at her daughter, feeling a little distressed as she saw a ten-year-old child cooking for so many people and delivering the food to her.

But her parents had come to help harvest the crops, so she couldn't be ungrateful and could only help her daughter.

She stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Just make some simple food for lunch. When you get home in the evening, I'll steam some more dry food. You can heat it up and send it over tomorrow."

Grandma Zheng also nodded and said, "That's right. Just make some soup and steam some dry food for lunch. You don't need to do anything else."

Zheng Xiaoman responded obediently, "Okay, grandma, I understand. Mom, I'll go back first and bring you food later."

"Okay, be careful not to burn yourself when cooking."

"I know, mom. I'll be careful."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled at his mother and walked back with the basket on his back.

On the way home, she was thinking about what to cook for lunch. She definitely couldn't just do it casually as her grandma said.

The autumn harvest is the most tiring time. If the food is not good enough, the body will not be able to bear it.

When she got home, she didn't go into the house. Instead, she took the fishing net and wooden barrel from the yard and walked towards the river.

When it comes to nourishing the body, fish soup and chicken soup are definitely the best.

She doesn't have chicken, but she can still have fish.

She didn't need to catch too much this time, just enough to eat for two or three days.

She walked over to her old spot by the river and sat down, reaching her hand into the water and starting to release the spring water.

This time she only released a little bit, and after more than a minute, several fish swam towards this side.

Not only fish, but also some small shrimps jumped out from the bottom of the water.

Zheng Xiaoman hurriedly took the fishing net and scooped it into the water. When he pulled it up, he found two fish and a dozen river shrimps in the net.

She put the fish and river shrimps into the wooden barrel and scooped them up with the fishing net again.

She didn't stop fishing until the bucket was full.

Looking at the bucket full of fish and shrimp, Zheng Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction.

But she forgot her frail body and it took her a long time to carry the bucket back home.

"Sister, what's in your bucket?"

Lixia was playing in the yard with her sister. When she saw her sister coming back with a bucket, she quickly ran over to help.

He lifted up the other end of the bucket and could see clearly that it was full of fish and shrimp.

Lixia exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you caught so many fish and shrimps again. We will have fish to eat today."

Last time, we almost finished eating the fish we caught at home, and there were only some salted fish left hanging in the kitchen.

Thinking of the aroma of the live fish she had eaten before, Lixia couldn't help but sip.

Zheng Xiaoman and her brother carried the bucket to the kitchen door and put it down. She wiped the sweat off her head and said, "Yes, we will make fish soup for lunch. Mom and my brother won't be back from the fields at noon, so I will prepare the meal and send it to them later."

When Lixia heard this, she quickly said, "I'll help my sister deliver it."

"Okay, help me clean up the shrimps first, and I'll fry some shrimps for you at noon."

"Sister, just leave it to me. I promise to clean it up thoroughly." When Lixia heard that there was something delicious to eat, she immediately patted her chest and promised.

"Sister, Chunya can also help." Little Chunya ran over happily and tilted her little head to look at her sister.

Zheng Xiaoman squatted down and kissed her little face, "Okay, our Chun Ya is the most capable. You and your brother can do it here, I will go in and clean up the fish first."
