Through the small days of farming

When it's not snowing, they will occasionally go out as a family to chat with other people's houses.

The weather this day was very good, and it was almost moldy if he stayed at home. Ning Ge'er's stomach was getting bigger day by day, and it was almost boring him to be at home all day.

Decided to take Ning Ge'er out together, Bai Niannian supported Ning Ge'er on the left, Shen Wei supported Ning Ge'er on the right, the two of them were able to lift up and walk.

"Fifth Aunt, have you eaten yet?" Bai Niannian said to Fifth Aunt who was sweeping snow in the yard.

Since the fifth aunt came to their house to buy food last time, the relationship between the two families has become closer and closer.

Fifth Aunt has a loud voice, but she is warm and sincere. Their family always wants to get acquainted with the people in the village, and Fifth Aunt's home is a good entry point.

"It's Brother Nian! Come in, come in." Fifth Aunt said with a smile on her face.

Fifth Aunt's family also had several children who were a few years older than Mingli and the others. Bai Niannian was already familiar with the situation in the village, and was gossiping with Fifth Aunt Ning about what happened in the village.

"Brother Nian, you must not know what happened to Uncle Nian's house!"

Aunt Wu played tricks, aroused their curiosity, and then slowly said: "Your cousin and the daughter-in-law of Dasha's family in the village are not clear, and someone saw it, and then told Dasha, Dasha You took people with you and caught them directly at Grandpa Li San's house, and you didn't even know that when you caught them, their faces were so wonderful."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Bai Niannian suddenly remembered, during the Chinese New Year, when they went out to meet Chen Mingxue, it must be that house, right?

They were both seen by the two of them, and they dared to interact with each other. I really don’t know what to say. His big brother is also a very good person. With Chen Mingxue, it’s like flowers stuck in cow dung. However, Chen Mingxue I still don't know how to cherish it.

Bai Niannian curled his lips in his heart, his big cousin will definitely regret it.

"Dasha was caught cheating, and he couldn't explain his sophistry. Dasha's eyes turned red and he rushed to beat him."

Dasha is an inflexible man in their village. Although his reaction is a little slow, he is not really stupid. After marrying his wife, he is also famous in the village for his wife. I don’t know how many people in the village envy him. His daughter-in-law is a bit stupid, but she is tall and she loves her daughter-in-law.

He almost regarded his wife as a treasure, and he didn't need to do any work in the field. He would visit the house when he was full all day long, and he didn't even bother to do housework.

"Dasha is also a dead-brained person. When he went up, he was beaten up. Later, the people watching thought that he would die if he continued to beat him, so they pulled him away. Chen Mingxue was beaten half to death. He came home and heard his legs were all broken."

"Interrupted?" Bai Niannian was also a little surprised.

"Yes! I heard that going to the town can heal him, but now the snow is so thick that he can't go out, and it will cost a lot of money to heal his leg. Chen Mingxue's leg is just like this."

After finishing speaking, he described the scene at that time vividly.

Ning Ge'er said, "Is that how they left it?"

Fifth Aunt said: "It's their son's fault, what else can they do? Dasha's family is not vegetarian."

"That Chen Mingxue knew it wasn't a good thing at a glance, and he was just doing nothing all day long."

"Their family is in trouble now! Chen Mingxue's wife is making a fuss about reconciling, Dasha also divorced his daughter-in-law and sent him to their house. Their family really took him in and let him live at home."

"Their family is still making trouble now?" Now that the road in and out of the village is blocked, even if his big brother wants to make up, he has nowhere to go.

"In this kind of weather, the village couldn't go out. Chen Mingren's wife gritted her teeth, took the book and left the book, and went directly to Dasha's house to live in. Dasha's wife is not a law-abiding person. Anyway, their family is noisy. sharp."

What do you mean by not being law-abiding?Chen Mingxue was lying on the bed and couldn't move, so Chen Mingzhi and Chen Dashan were left, right?

They stayed at Aunt Fifth's house for an hour, and then they went to Aunt Chen's house to sit for more than an hour before going home to cook.

The snow never stopped. It was in May that the snow finally showed signs of stopping. It had not snowed for three days, and the sun slowly came out. The snow gradually melted, and it still did not snow on the eighth day. The temperature gradually rises.

By this time, it was already certain that the snow days were over, and the snow on the roads had almost melted.

When the snow melted, the roads became passable, and people could go in and out. When people from other villages came to see them, only the villagers realized what it was like outside.

The people who came to look for them were basically pale and emaciated, and those who asked them to borrow or ask for food learned from them.

Due to the flood in Shuicheng, all the food in Shuicheng was submerged. As a production base for more food, Shuicheng would have no place to buy food in other places once the food ran out.

The price of rice has remained high. People in the nearby villages were reluctant to sell their grain at first, but as the price of grain became higher and higher, they couldn't help but waver. The price of grain was so high that they couldn't make it back for several years. I couldn't resist the temptation to sell the food at home, and planned to buy some food back in the spring.

There are a lot of disaster victims in the town, and the county magistrate doesn't have the courage to open a warehouse to release grain without permission. Some unscrupulous stores are holding back the grain and not selling it, waiting for the price to be higher and higher, and then release it to make a fortune.

The county magistrate killed chickens to warn monkeys that time. The people in the town were honest for a while, but later on, the price of grain became more and more outrageous, and the town began to riot again. Many shops in the town were robbed of their grain. Coax them up, run away after grabbing, and wait for the people in the yamen to come, they have already run away without a trace.

The county magistrate was also very afraid of death. Seeing that the turmoil in the town could not be suppressed, he quickly withdrew the shop to their yard and asked them to protect him.

The big families in the town have also been robbed a lot. Now there is only one time-honored grain store in the town that is still open. If it weren’t for the strength of their store, I am afraid that this store will not be able to continue. The rice every day is It is limited and the price is high, but there are many people rushing to buy it every day.

Compared with the pale and thin people in other villages, one can tell at a glance that it is the result of long-term hunger and malnutrition. Those who borrow or want food should go back and publicize it.

Those who are related to the people in their villages try to get food from them in every way possible, and those who are related or not are rushing to climb up the relationship.

After a day or two, the people in the village also tasted the taste, and they all refused to come to ask for food in different ways.

There are two men, Chen Mingren and Shen Wei, at home. When the snow melts, they will go to plow the land with the people in the village. It is only May, and although the spring plowing has been delayed, some rice can be replanted now. Harvest a lot of food.

The cotton padded clothes he was wearing had been changed, and the weather seemed to be summer all of a sudden, and spring was skipped directly.

The two men went to plow the land, and there was a lot of water in the field. The water accumulated when the snow melted, and the temperature was very low. Bai Niannian originally wanted to go to the field to help, but Chen Mingren firmly denied it, and let him breed at home. And do things well inside and out, Geer Ning's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and his calves are also swollen, but because Shen Wei often helps with massage, the swell is not very severe.

The task of taking care of Brother Ning was also given to him. Fortunately, the little guys at home were very obedient, and when they saw that he was too busy, they would help him with what they could.

The family's field is only one mu of land and two mu of land left for the family to grow. The two families add up to double.

The two men got up early and went back late to work for three days, and turned over two acres of land. All of them were plowed by manpower, and the ox in the village plowed the land. I don’t know when it will be their turn. It’s better to plow the land directly with a hoe. quick.

After the field is turned over, there is no need to hurry. In the four acres of land, except for one acre of sweet potatoes, there is another one acre where two families plant more than half of mung beans, and the rest grow some soybeans.

The mung beans prepared at home were still insufficient, and they did not expect that the snow would not stop until May, and the mung bean sprouts at home were eaten up in March. Fortunately, people in the village had mung beans, and they exchanged them with grain, and many people were still willing. of.

Brother Ning's month is getting older, and Bai Niannian vaguely remembers that the pregnant woman needs to walk around frequently, so that the delivery will be smoother.

On this day, it was rare that there was nothing to do at home, and Ning Ge'er hadn't gone out for a long time, so he took him to talk to the good friends in the village.

Before the stool was hot after sitting down, Brother Yu hurried over.

"Brother Ning, Brother Ning, someone is looking for you." Brother Yu came to him anxiously.

"Me?" Brother Ning asked, pointing at himself, "Who is looking for me?"

It's not surprising that some people are looking for Brother Nian and Brother Chen, but it's more strange that someone is looking for him, because he is pregnant, so he hardly goes out recently.

"Well, they are here to look for you, and they even mentioned your name, Chen Ancheng." Brother Yu said, "They named you by name and said they wanted to look for you, you should go back and have a look."

"Okay, then let's go back first." Ning Ge'er thought of the person who might come to him, a cold light flashed in his eyes quickly, and the fist hanging by his side was tightly clenched.

"Brother Ning, walk slowly." Shen Wei protected him without complaint, and did not change his face when the villagers made fun of him. Does he need to look at other people's eyes to protect his daughter-in-law? ?

Brother Ning became the most enviable elder brother in the village after the stupid daughter-in-law. After all, when other people were pregnant, they had to work in the fields. Shen Wei spoiled him so much.

Shen Wei's caring words finally made Brother Ning regain his sense of normalcy, took a few deep breaths, and told himself not to be angry, not to be angry, it would be bad for the child in his stomach.

"Ning Ge'er, why are you here now?!" The visitor scolded Ning Ge'er displeasedly when he saw Ning Ge'er.

Ning Geer is not the helpless brother who was at home, but seemed to be dependent on others, Ning Geer sneered: "If I had known it was you, I would not have come back so soon."
