Waste Wood Farming Notes

As time went on, the drought became more and more serious, and the water level in the river has dropped by one third.

Even if the rice in the field is diligently carrying water to irrigate, many people's shoulders are red and swollen, and they are all picking out water, but it is useless. In this hot weather, they just poured water, and after a while It all evaporated.

They could only watch them die day by day. Many people followed the actions of the village chief and pulled out the rice and planted sweet potatoes instead.

It seemed that the sweet potatoes were growing well, and those who replanted sweet potatoes felt congratulated.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these rice is hopeless. Those who did not grow sweet potatoes regret it. At this time, even if they grow sweet potatoes, when they harvest, the sweet potatoes they get will not be very big. .

But something is better than nothing. There are quite a few people in the village who pull out rice and grow sweet potatoes.

Not all people do it like this. A small number of stubborn people think that it will rain soon, so they grit their teeth and go out early and return late to carry water to the fields.

For these people, they are unwilling. After persuasion, the other party P still insists on going his own way. These neighbors and friends have no choice but to let them go.

"Five Ah! Brother Fu, can you call out Wu Ya for me?" Li Erniu stood at the door of Li's house, looking enviously at their big house, which was made of blue bricks!

Li Tianfu saw her cautious and inferior thoughts, and scolded her parents in his heart, is the second girl their own?She was even reluctant to give her a pair of straw sandals, because when she walked on the stones, her foot scratched somewhere, and a wound appeared. Although it was no longer bleeding, it looked uncomfortable.

"Er Niu, go and drink some water first, and I'll call Wu Ya back." Li Tianfu said gently.

"No need..." Li Erniu waved her hand, "It will dirty your place."

Looking at the place where the bleeding stopped on her feet, Li Erniu's nose was sore, did she pick it up?

Li Tianfu said viciously, "Go in, it's blocking the way here."

Li Erniu was taken aback, held back her tears, walked in, obeyed Li Tianfu's words, and sat obediently on the chair.

"These are Wuya's shoes, I wonder if they fit you well?" When Li Tianfu came back with a pair of straw sandals, he found Li Erniu crying silently on a chair, pitifully.

"You, don't cry... I didn't mean to hurt you just now." Li Tianfu apologized stammeringly, he had no experience in comforting such a little girl!

After hearing his words, Li Erniu cried even more.

Li Tianfu froze, what should he do now?

He was also very wronged, okay, he just wanted her to go in and put on a pair of shoes, so he started crying out of nowhere, it was always others who coaxed him, he coaxed others does not exist, it is impossible in this life.

When Li Tianfu became more and more embarrassed, Wuya walked in with a basket, "Er Niu, why are you at my house? Did you come to look for me?"

Taking a closer look, she found that Erniu was crying, and Wuya immediately put down the basket, and asked with concern, "Erniu, are you okay? Did Brother Fu bully you?"

Saying that, Wu Ya couldn't help but glared at Li Tianfu, Er Niu was already in such a miserable situation, and Brother Fu still bullied her!unacceptable! !

Li Tianfu expressed his innocence, "I just pretended to offend her and I know I was wrong. Please tell her not to cry first!"

I was upset by crying, and Li Tianfu didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.

"Er Niu, don't cry, by the way, have you eaten breakfast? Your parents don't care about you, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right? I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's eat together, shall we?" Li Wuya said with a smile Wiping her tears unskillfully, the witty Li Tianfu went to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of porridge and sweet potatoes while they were talking.

"Brother Fu didn't bully me, but suddenly wanted to cry, and the tears couldn't be stopped." Li Erniu sniffed and said in a low voice.

I'm a little embarrassed, she didn't want to cry on purpose, but she couldn't help it, causing Wuya to misunderstand Brother Fu, she didn't mean it.

"Er Niu, eat quickly! Let's go to the mountain when we're full." Li Wuya has already started to eat unceremoniously. The basket of vegetables she picked back was reserved for cooking at noon. If she didn't eat in the morning, she was already hungry. of.

Li Erniu swallowed, looked away, "I, I'm not hungry yet, Wu Ya, you can eat."

Just after she finished speaking, there was a sound of resistance from her stomach. Li Erniu lowered her head, not daring to look at their expressions.

"Hurry up and eat." Li Wuya didn't even look at her again, knowing that she must be shy now, and when she was hungry, she would growl too. She was very embarrassed and forced it into her hand. A sweet potato, with its warm temperature, felt as if it was burning to the bottom of her heart, so warm.

This time she couldn't say a word of rejection, and ate the sweet potato in her hand in small bites, reluctant to peel off the skin, and couldn't help but shed tears while eating.

Li Wuya found a towel, which belonged to her, wiped Er Niu's face, cut the remaining sweet potato in her bowl into two halves, and started to eat, "Hurry up, let's eat together later." Go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables."

Li Tianfu didn't know when he left.

Probably slipping back to her room, Er Niu also relaxed a bit, anyway, she had already eaten one of Wu Ya's sweet potatoes, and it didn't matter if she ate another half, as she already owed Wu Ya a lot.

"Erniu, why are you looking for me?" After eating, Wuya asked with a serious face. If there was nothing wrong, Erniu would not have come to her like this for no reason.

In this village, the relationship between her and Erniu is better. Erniu's grandparents are also patriarchal. After the separation, their granddaughters, they don't even look at the same thing.

"Wuya, my parents are going to sell me to someone else's family as a child bride." Li Erniu's tears, which had finally stopped, welled up again.

"Child brides-in-law?!" Li Wuya said in surprise, they also knew what child brides-in-law was, because there were families with child brides-in-law in the village, and their daily life was very miserable, that's why she was so surprised. It's not that you can't eat, so do you need to do it like this?

Li Erniu wiped her tears, but she wiped more and more, and said in a crying voice, "That's right, I heard it with my own ears, my parents are going to sell me to Hu Chun as a child bride."

"Hu Chun? How could it be him?" Li Wuya said strangely.

The families who raise children and daughter-in-law are generally poor and cannot marry a daughter-in-law in the future, so they buy a child daughter-in-law early and come back, and they can help the family with work, and when they grow up, they directly marry their son.

Although the Hu family is not the original family name of their village, they are considered rich. Hu Chun looks indifferent, but he can't stand his sweet mouth!There are many girls who want to marry him.

How could you think of raising a child bride? !

"I don't know, but Aunt Hu came to our house to mention this matter. My parents have promised them. After I found out, they locked me in the house. I ran out secretly. Wuya, I am now What should I do? I don’t want to go to someone else’s house to be a child bride, Hu Chun doesn’t like me, and Aunt Hu will beat people.” Li Erniu said in a panic.

The door of Li Tianfu's room was unlocked, and it was open for ventilation. What Li Erniu said also fell into his ears, and he sighed, and then threw it behind his ears. This is Li Erniu's business, she just listens too much Her parents said otherwise, otherwise she wouldn't be in this situation.

Li Wuya thought for a while, grabbed her palm, and said seriously: "No, have you seen the child bride-in-law in the village? You are exhausted every day, and you are often beaten and scolded. You don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. Want to be like them?"

Li Erniu shook her head quickly, "No, I don't want to be like this."

"Wuya, you are usually the smartest, can you help me find a way?" Li Erniu said tearfully, holding Wuya's hand.

Li Wuya looked around and said in a low voice, "Let's do this, you hide it first, don't let others find out."

"But where can I hide?" Li Erniu also asked in a low voice.

Li Wuya continued to whisper, "Just go to my old house. It's hot now, so it doesn't matter if you hide in it. I'll bring you the food. I'll share half of my food with you. good."

"Okay. Thank you, Wuya, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life." Li Erniu said emotionally.

"You wait here, I'll take out the key first." Li Wuya said, "When you came, were you seen by others?"

"Have."

"Then you pretend to go home first, and then avoid people and go to my old house." Li Wuya quickly decided.

Li Erniu nodded, "I'll go now." Otherwise, if she came to Li's house and didn't go out, her parents would definitely come back to Li's house to make trouble.

Li Wuya lightly got the key to the old house, her heart beating faster.

After she unlocked the door of the old house, she immediately went back and put the key away, and hid in the old house, waiting for Er Niu to come, and then quietly locked the front and let Er Niu come in through the back door.

"Er Niu, just sleep in the room I slept in before." She just took the key and opened one of the locks.

When they moved out, the big furniture inside was still there. The two of them took rags and cleaned the place. Wuya looked at it for a while, and found that there was no need for a quilt. Although the weather is hot now, a quilt is still needed. Their old quilts seem to be placed in the cabinet.

Li Wuya stepped on the chair, saw Erniu looking at her, and said, "Erniu, help me carry it."

The two of them worked together to move the things down, Li Wuya said: "Let's take it out and dry it!"

Drying the quilt in the backyard, it is enough to wait for the noon sun to dry for a while, put it in the front yard, it is easy to be discovered by others, now there is a lot of food at home, Li Wuya went back and hid herself secretly A little half of the food came over.

"You can eat these grains for the time being, and you should stay here, they will definitely not find out." Li Wuya carried the things over, and Li Erniu took them quickly, so she saved a lot of things. If it is eaten, it is enough for her to eat for seven or eight days alone.

"There is a broken earthenware pot in the kitchen. If you want to cook something, you have to wait until it gets dark, otherwise the smoke will be discovered by others." Li Wuya urged, "I have to go to the mountain Pick wild vegetables, or I will be scolded by my grandma."

Li Erniu smiled, "Hurry up, I will take care of myself."

"Brother Fu, let's go to the mountains!" Li Wuya said after running back and pouring down a bowl of water.

Li Tianfu took another look at her, "Did Er Niu leave??"

Li Wuya looked away, "Let's go."

"Oh." Li Tianfu said indifferently.
