The Ugly Ger's Farming Story

"What are you talking about!" Uncle Xie gave a rare stare, "Now my brother has entered the door of the Lin family, and they treat our brother well, let alone those old things."

Xie Amo also knew this reason, "But it's not about worrying about him! If it wasn't back then! Alas," the more Xie Amo thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He shouldn't have agreed to that marriage in the first place.

"But that's not the case. If it weren't for that wolf-hearted thing, our brother wouldn't have met this marriage." Uncle Xie didn't know that Lin Fangliang had been thinking about brother Xie since his leg was injured. If Ma Fugui hadn't stepped in at that time, Brother Xie might have entered the Lin family's gate long ago.

"Dong dong dong, Uncle Xie, I'm Li Changfeng!" Li Changfeng knocked on the door with a basket in his hand.

As soon as he heard the sound from the gate of the courtyard, Uncle Xie got up and went to open the gate, "Changfeng, what delicious food did you bring us?"

As soon as Uncle Xie opened the courtyard door, he smelled a special fragrance, and seeing Li Changfeng carrying the basket, he knew without thinking that it was for them to bring food.

Xie Amo listened to Uncle Xie's loud voice inside, and couldn't help sighing, this person has lived for so many years, why is he still missing a muscle!

"It's just a new dish made by Ah Qing. Let you and Xie Ah Mo try it. I'm going back now."

Li Changfeng handed the basket to Uncle Xie, and said goodbye anxiously, Xu Qing was still waiting for him to eat at home.

"Go, go, kid."

Uncle Xie sniffed the contents of the basket intoxicated, and closed the courtyard door cheerfully. It's been a long time since I've tasted Brother Qing's handicraft.

Both Xu Qing and Li Changfeng ate the spicy tofu at night. Before going to bed, Li Changfeng didn't forget to scoop up a few more bowls of beans to soak.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the night was coming very quickly. Half a month later, Xu Qing saw the first snow that came to this world.

"Let's burn the kang and the wall with fire today."

That thing can keep you warm for a whole day. Xu Qing wore a thick new cotton coat and wrapped himself into a ball, which was still a ball with a big belly.

Li Changfeng touched Xu Qing's slightly cold hand, pulled him away from the window, and went to make lunch by himself, and at the same time removed the things that were separated from the kang and fire wall, so that there would be heat.

Tired of tofu, Xu Qing wanted to eat dried tofu. When he was tired of eating dried tofu, he made tofu soup. Now he didn’t even want to drink tofu soup. During this time, Xu Qing always felt that everything was tasteless. There is no freshness in the food.

correct!Xu Qing suddenly thought of something made from tofu, fermented bean curd!

Fermented bean curd is an appetizer and a meal, so after lunch that day, Li Changfeng had something to do again. He cut the unfinished tofu into small pieces, dried it for a while, found a small vat, and salted it. Get up, wait until the tofu has turned blue-gray, and then process it a little bit, and this fermented bean curd will be ready.

Looking at the ten small jars placed under the cabinet, Xu Qing looked satisfied. These are all his rations!

"By the way, daughter-in-law, let's choose a day to slaughter the pig. It's cold and snowing, so the pigweed will be less, and the pig will lose weight easily." Li Changfeng guessed that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, right? It's time to slaughter the fat pig that has grown to a full two hundred catties in the pigsty.

"Okay, you choose a day, and invite a few folks to help." Xu Qing walked to the warm main room and sat down. Now he feels tired even if he moves, and his hands and feet are starting to swell.

Li Changfeng gently put Xu Qing's leg in his hands, and slowly rubbed it. Last night Xu Qing suffered from cramps several times.

"That's fine, I'll ask Uncle Xie, Second Brother Wei, Uncle Wu and Brother Qiu to help, and Ah Xie."

Xu Qing nodded and agreed, "That's right, after the killing, I have to send some to my younger brother and Li's yard, and Brother Xiaoyu." Li's yard has to be given, otherwise it won't stop. Brother Li is still in town, and he visited Xu Qing at home some time ago.

"Okay, you can rest assured."

Three days later, Xu Qing's family slaughtered the pigs. The two hundred catties of pigs were huge in the village. "How did your family raise them! They are so fat!" Such a fat pig!

Li Changfeng looked innocent, "That's right, it ate whatever we ate in those days, how could it be hungry and thin! This is our food for Dongyue!"

"Tsk tsk, it seems that you are not only a good hand in the Tian family, but also capable of raising livestock. Look at your dogs, chickens, donkeys, tsk tsk, all of them are not small!" Brother Qiu is a A thin butcher, he is not a businessman like Liu Butcher, but has the skill of killing pigs. When this season comes, he will be asked to help any pig slaughtering, and by the way, he will give a small red envelope as a sign of good luck.

Li Changfeng chuckled, didn't say much, and buried himself in shaving the dead piglet. This pig is fat enough for his wife to eat!

Although there are not many people, but the pig fat makes people feel good. The pigs were cleaned up in a lively afternoon. In the evening, the big guys drank a few glasses together and had a pig feast before they were happy Excited to leave.

After everyone left, Li Changfeng and Xu Qing also tidied up and lay down on a warm bed to rest, "Today everyone said that the fire wall and fire pit in our house are good, but if you say this, we should talk to Li Zheng Tell me?"

Li Changfeng rubbed Xu Qing's hair, heard the words and thought for a while, "Tell me, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Anyway, people know it, so if you don't say it, maybe what Lizheng and the villagers think, it's better to just say it directly Say it straight, so that they have nothing to say.

In the morning of the next day, Li Changfeng talked to Lizheng about Kang, and after he came back to eat, he took three pieces of meat and went to the house of Lin Fangliang and Brother Li in the town, and then went to Li's yard. It was quite calm, and I was happy to see Li Changfeng bring back the meat. Their pigs were too thin, and they were a little reluctant to kill them.

Back home, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng boiled the lard and put it away, leaving only a few small pieces of meat to dry and eat, and the rest were used to make bacon. It is much more convenient for farmers to make bacon. It only needs to be cooked for a few days The meat is marinated above the fire. When the time comes, take it out, wrap it with something, and put it in the warehouse. From this day on, there will be meat to eat in the spring.

Everyone in the village envied that Xu Qing's family had big fat pigs to eat and a house for heating, but after the meeting held in Lizheng, they explained how to build this warm house, and said that Xu Qing and the others had heard it from other places. The attitude of the villagers towards Xu Qing and the others is very kind. If it can be warm this winter, it will save the elderly and children. In previous years, some children and elderly people left because they could not survive the winter.

Xu Qing didn't have time to pay attention to the voices outside, the baby was born in one and a half months, and during this one and a half months, Xu Qing was very irritable, and often had nightmares in the middle of the night, fearing that she would not be able to give birth, or that it would be a difficult labor, or After giving birth to a little monster or something, after more than ten days, Xu Qing was mentally haggard, and Li Changfeng was even more haggard.

Xie Ahma learned about it and taught Xu Qing a lesson quietly. Li Changfeng didn't know what Xie Ahma said to Xu Qing. Anyway, since that day, Xu Qing ate and drank well, and nothing happened. No more nightmares.

One night after one and a half months, Xu Qing felt his stomach was distended, aching and uncomfortable. Sitting was uncomfortable, and lying down was also uncomfortable. Slowly, fine sweat broke out on his forehead. Can comfort Xu Qing, who knows that Xu Qing's stomachache is getting worse and worse, and he still feels a faint sense of stomach sinking, remembering what Xie Ahmo said, Xu Qing hurriedly asked Li Changfeng to find Xie Ahmo.

"I, I might be about to give birth, hurry up and find Xie Ah." Xu Qing couldn't keep talking about the pain at the moment, mother, it really is a thankless job to have a baby!

Li Changfeng didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he ran out of the room with bare feet.

"What are you doing! Why don't you wear clothes and shoes! It hurts!"

Seeing that idiot jump out like that, Xu Qing didn't know if Li Changfeng would catch a cold with such heavy snow outside!

Xie Ah and Uncle Xie are sleeping soundly. It is good to have a heated kang, and they don't feel cold even if they put on a quilt at night.

"Clap clap! clap clap! clap clap!"

A loud knock on the door came from the gate of the courtyard, causing Xie Amo and Xie Aunt to wake up immediately.

Listening to the urgent shouts, "Thank you! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Me! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Thank you!"

Xie Amo quickly turned over and got up, "Hurry up! Brother Qing must have had an attack!" Uncle Xie didn't hesitate, got dressed in a few moments, followed Xie Amo with his things and went out.

"You kid is really good!"

As soon as Uncle Xie opened the courtyard door, he saw Li Changfeng stepping on the snow naked, not to mention his underwear and no shoes on his feet.

"Changfeng! Why don't you wear clothes and shoes! Be careful if you catch a cold!"

Xie Ahmo said worriedly, but Li Changfeng didn't know how to feel warm and cold, he was both happy and flustered, "Xie Ahmo, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth!"

"I know! Let's go! Look at you in such a hurry, how come you ran out without clothes or shoes!"

Thinking that Xu Qing's delivery man was staying at home alone now, and everyone didn't care about opening an umbrella, braving the heavy snow at night, and rushed to Xu Qing's house in a hurry.

"You guys go to boil the hot water, I'll go and see Brother Qing, Changfeng, don't come in if I don't see you!" Xie Amo told Uncle Xie and Li Changfeng before entering the room with her belongings.

Xu Qing is in so much pain that she can't scream anymore. This woman gave birth because of a stomachache, and the cervix was opened, but the boys here always have a red line in the lower abdomen. The worse the pain, the red line The redder it is, the redder it is, it means that the child is coming out soon.

"Hold on, the belly is not ready yet, I'll ask Changfeng to cook something for you, you can eat first." Xie Amo carefully checked the belly line several times, estimated the time, and felt that It's still early, so I want Xu Qing to eat something, otherwise I won't have the energy later.

How did Xu Qing know this, all he knew was that he didn't want to drink any more water from the pain, so how could he be able to eat!

"I do not want to eat……"

Xu Qing hugged his belly with both hands, humming weakly, Xie Amo laughed and said: "It's okay if you don't eat, be careful later." Then he opened the door and called Li Changfeng, "Go give it to your daughter-in-law. Bring me something to cook and let him eat first, preferably sugared eggs."

Xie Ama knew that the situation of Xu Qing's family was relatively good, and there must be some eggs, so he was not polite and asked Li Changfeng to cook them quickly.

Not long after, Uncle Xie brought the hot water to the door of the room again, and Amo Xie brought it in, moistened it with a handkerchief, and while the handkerchief was steaming, he applied it to Xu Qing on his abdominal line On the next day, Xu Qing didn't feel any hot pain, but felt that the previous stomach pain had subsided a lot.

"Don't move, just apply it like this," Xie Ahmo stopped Xu Qing's body from twisting, "Thank you! The egg is ready!" Li Changfeng's call came from outside the door, Xie Ahmo quickly responded, He opened the door and took the bowl, "How is my wife?" Li Changfeng tilted his head to look into the room, but he didn't see any major movement, so he asked Xie Amo.

"Okay, but you'd better go clean up a room and come out, and after the baby is delivered, you'll give it to Brother Qing." Xie Amo remembered this and told Li Changfeng about it.

Li Changfeng nodded quickly, turned around and went to work, Xie Amo closed the door, sat next to Xu Qing and fed Xu Qing, Xu Qing had no appetite at first, but once this thing was brought to his mouth, it’s really hard to say, Xu Qing Qing is really hungry.

There were six eggs in the bowl, Xu Qing was already full after eating four, "No more, I can't eat so much." Xu Qing refused Xie Ahmo's offer, he really couldn't eat anymore.

"Okay, I don't force you, you should rest first, I guess the baby will be born in an hour." Xie Ahmo wiped the sweat from Xu Qing's forehead with a handkerchief, put the bowl aside, Sitting by the bed and waiting for Xu Qing to have an attack.

Xu Qing was still nervous at first, but when this day really came, Xu Qing really didn't know why, she calmed down quite a bit, there must be this day sooner or later.
