Husband and wife are hot on the kang

After April [-]th, I started to get busy, because it was time to plant the land, and all the helpers from last year gathered again this time.

Because we worked together last year, this year everyone came first to Yujuren’s. We arrived yesterday afternoon and had dinner here. As early as when we knew they were coming, Yujuren asked Chef Huang to prepare. Don’t be stingy with oil and salt. To work, you need to eat more good food. Farming takes time.

Chef Huang knows how to do it. He directly stewed chicken with mushrooms, pork with vermicelli, and then a big pot of tomato and egg soup. The faces of these helpers who ate the first meal were red!

"What's the matter?" Yu Juren still doesn't quite understand, is this food delicious?Still unpalatable?

It won't be unpalatable, if it is unpalatable, he will definitely be able to eat it, he eats the same food as these helpers.

"It's touching to eat!" Shi Hongda ate a big steamed bun with double noodles while sipping soup. Tomorrow, he will be planting the land. The plan for this year is spring, and spring sowing is very important.

"Isn't it?" Yu Juren was a little confused.

"At this time, my family is the only one who can afford vegetables, but I made egg and persimmon soup for them!" Chef Huang said very proudly.

Yu Juren: "...!"

It’s just eating a persimmon, or the green persimmons I picked at home turned red, and the soup was still eaten, why are you so moved?

He didn't know what these helpers thought, but he thought that they were all working people, and it was natural for them to eat something good?

In fact, this first day, I didn’t do anything, and I was very embarrassed, but there was persimmon and egg soup in the dish. Work hard and be worthy of this meal.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, these people started to go out. Anyway, they knew where Xiao Juren's place was.

Shi Hongda took Liu Wenxi and Batu Bado together this time. He and Liu Wenxi helped the plow, Bado and Batu took care of the livestock, and the rest of them planted seeds, dug holes, and planted corn. , began to plant sorghum and potatoes.

Yu Juren also wanted to go, but unfortunately, Shi Hongda disagreed, they were going to work, so what was he going to do?Rest at home more, it's hard to feed and have some meat, so I can't toss about it!

"I'm just going to have a look, but I won't go to the fields!" Yu Juren really wanted to go.

"Forget it!" Batu persuaded on the side: "Let's go, saying that we are taking care of the cattle, but we still need to bring bows and arrows. It's too close to the mountains and forests. If something happens, we need to have a defense." It’s not safe for you to go there.”

To put it bluntly, what a joke, everyone can run if they can't beat it, and it's safe to close the gate after entering the village. Even a blind bear can't run away!

And at this time of spring, everyone knows that wild beasts are basically in heat at this time. I really don’t know what to do. Even if they go out, they always carry bows and arrows, and they don’t leave their waists. I feel safe. When I planted last year, Shi Hongda was alone like this, and this year all three of them are like this.

"I...won't I?" Yu Juren was frightened.

"After a few days, there will be more voices and fewer beasts. You can go there again, or after the seedlings have sprouted?" Shi Hongda discussed with him: "It's better not to go there at this time. , I can't even concentrate."

Well, the last sentence was said very softly, and the Yu Juren in front of him could hear it.

Yu Juren looked at him with black lines on his face: he said so ambiguously, and he still has a pure man-male relationship with you!

There is nothing to pass over!

At most, we can solve the loneliness for each other!

He wanted to choke, but Shi Hongda had already taken people to farm, so he was not given a chance to fight back!

Yuju went back to the house angrily, and if he didn't let me go, I would just stay at home!

If he can't go to the field, he will go to the greenhouse!

Now the seedlings in the greenhouse are much taller, so Yu Juren changed into short clothes, carried a small shovel and a hoe, went to dig vegetable seedlings, and then planted them in the vegetable garden one by one.

He prepared a lot of vegetable seedlings, but the varieties were a bit single, all of which were cold-resistant and fruiting, and there were not many others, mainly because there were not so many places in the greenhouse. In the two vegetable gardens in front of him, eggplants accounted for half, and peppers accounted for half. In the other vegetable garden, persimmons accounted for half, cucumbers accounted for half, and beans were planted all around. When the time comes, set up a bean frame and poke a wooden stick directly at the wall!

At noon, when I was having lunch, I cooked for the workers on the first day. Chef Huang directly made pickled meat with preserved vegetables. There is not much preserved vegetables, so the more pork is better; he also made stewed tofu with sauce, and steamed noodles Big steamed buns, boiled big bone soup.

They are all things to fight hunger, less than a quarter of Juren's vegetable garden has been planted, Shi Hongda and the others rested for an hour after lunch, and went to the field again.

In the afternoon, Yu Juren continued his vegetable planting business. When Shi Hongda came back in the evening, he saw that a quarter of the eggplants had been planted in the front vegetable garden!

This eggplant seedling has grown in one hand!

"Is this planted today?" Shi Hongda knew that Yu Juren's shed had raised seedlings a long time ago, but he imagined that the seedlings would grow so tall that they would be enough to bloom. After flowering, the hot weather must be very hot The results will come soon.

In the past, eggplants were only available in June and July, but now they may have a new group of eggplants to eat in early June.

While talking, he washed his face and felt that the whole basin of water was dirty by his splashing. Today's wind is quite strong, blowing up a lot of dust and grass foam.

"Yeah, it happens to be fine. Didn't you let me go to the field? I'll grow vegetables at home. Is it safe enough at home?" Yu Juren handed him a wet towel triumphantly: "Wipe it quickly, Take a shower and have dinner later."

Shi Hongda, who was tired all day, smelled of dust all over his body. The spring in the Northeast is very dry, but the spring breeze is not small. Fortunately, this era has been well governed by the time-traversing predecessors. There are no sandstorms or the like, otherwise I dare not go down at this time The seeds are planted.

"This is fine, you are at home, but do it slowly, don't tire yourself too much." Shi Hongda took the wet towel and wiped his face and hands: "The climate is dry in spring, drink more water every day, wash your hands and face with warm water, Don't use cold water."

"I got it, I got it, I'm more wordy than the old man." Yu Juren took his dirty towel, washed it in another basin, and put it on a shelf beside him.

"I'm afraid you'll be tired, so I've managed to put on some weight." Shi Hongda said, and stretched out his hand to pinch Yu Juren's waist.

Last year it was very thin, but this year it is already a bit fleshy.

"Itchy!" Yu Juren hurriedly dodged, turned and glared at him: "Go to the main hall for dinner!"

Shi Hongda rubbed his nose, and followed honestly to have dinner.

Lying on the kang at night, Yu Juren was wrestling with him!

"This year we all grow corn, which is high-yielding, and other sorghum. Sorghum rice is also delicious, and it can be used to make wine. We also have millet. Our family has columbine carts, so grow that quickly!" Yu Juren calculated his own fields.

"If it's not enough to grow, how many more acres should we cultivate?" Shi Hongda suggested.

"No, I have to find someone to help with these things. How many more acres of land? You don't agree if I'm tired, and I'm not happy if I'm tired!" Yu Ju stretched out his hand to pinch him, but it must have stayed the same!

Shi Hongda exercises his body all year round. Even when the farming season is busy, he will punch and stretch his legs once in the morning.

Xiao Juren didn't see that it was good, but he knew it was a scene of swords and swords dancing like tigers and tigers.

After he saw Hong Zetao's sword technique, he felt that it was no different from Shi Hongda's!

Of course, there must be differences between the two, and Shi Hongda is practicing martial arts at home, if he is outside, that set of saber techniques will definitely not degrade people's eyes!

"It's great. Someone knows that he misses me and loves me." Yu Juren used to be kind to Shi Hongda, but he never said it out. Yu Juren was soft and warm, wishing he could hold her in his arms and not let go.

Yu Juren was hit by his words. Not only did he not struggle when he was hugged, but he reached out and hugged Hongda, and patted him on the shoulder.

This kid is also a hard-working person!

Thinking of the blessings of my previous life, I don’t have to suffer from the poorest time when I come here. I don’t want to mention others, and I don’t have a family. After I decide to stir up the foundation, there is a little child by my side who is responsible for the succession of the family!

Life is perfect, life is perfect!

The two fell asleep while hugging each other. After a day's work, they were both tired and warm in their hearts. They even dreamed of each other.

This time it still ended in five days, but it ended in the evening, because when planting corn, half of the corn was manually dug to get seeds, and the rest could be closed directly with a three-shared plow.

After everyone planted the land, Yu Juren still paid six days' wages, and the day he came was counted. He didn't come back until it was dark on the last day of the year, so as not to delay the morning of tomorrow, but Yu Juren felt that he was not good enough. When people are short of money, it is better to pay more. The purse used for settlement this time is made of silk. Although it is plain, the material is good!

All the purses were filled with copper coins, and the leader put [-] more coins, and didn’t give silver coins, because they were afraid that it would be inconvenient for them to spend. After all, the silver coins have to be weighed. Just give it to the past.

And the copper plate was left over during the Chinese New Year, and it is brand new, so it looks good when you take it out.

I ate four dishes and one soup in the evening to celebrate the completion of the work, and then boiled hot water for one person to take a bath. The twenty people used a lot of hot water, but they were refreshed after washing, and the clothes were also washed and dried. , After wearing it, everyone will not mention how comfortable it is.

When leaving, everyone had to kowtow to Yu Juren, Yu Liangji was so frightened that he hid in the room and did not dare to come out!

"Look at your courage!" Shi Hongda poked his forehead.

"It's so embarrassing!" Yu Juren didn't dodge either.

The vegetable garden at home finally let Xiao Juren plant all the vegetable seedlings, but because there are so many people in the family, the vegetable garden at home is still enough to eat, but there is not enough to dry the vegetables next year, and last year they were all in the village I have harvested a lot of autumn vegetables.

Xiao Juren decided to plant a vegetable garden according to his own wishes this year. As for the autumn vegetables at home, he might as well buy from the folks!

Every year they harvest enough autumn vegetables, and the ones in the field are either fed to pigs or discarded, so they might as well buy them with their own funds.

On the second day after planting the land, it started to rain!

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially in the northeast. A spring rain that penetrated the fields made everyone smile.

At the end of April, Yu Juren took Shi Hongda and the others to the county seat and gave gifts to the county magistrate and Zhou Wang's family. In fact, they were things like cloth rulers, dried mushrooms and fungus. A bunch of leeks, a bunch of canola, a bunch of spinach, and a bunch of parsley.

Although these four items are ordinary, at this time, there is still little to eat. The greenhouse is prone to dryness and insects, and sometimes there will be no harvest.

The magistrate and the two classmates returned presents, the magistrate gave the four treasures of the study, and the two classmates gave rice paper for one knife.

Shi Hongda also took his things to the blacksmith's shop, repaired the hoes and pickaxes at home, and bought some glutinous rice, sweet bamboo leaves, and thin straw ropes.

Including some candied dates and jujubes, and the last can of licorice and apricots left in Juren, the others were either given as gifts, or given to the folks to taste, and when the school started, they were given to the children for sweets!

On the fourth day of May, people are busy celebrating the festival, because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the village will be full of egg deliveries, which is special for Juren's family, who make zongzi!
