Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

When Xiao Yu'er arrived in the vegetable garden, he went directly into the space, picked all the vegetables in the space, and then came out.After Xiao Yuer finished the vegetables, he carried them home.He went straight into the kitchen and started making lunch.Ah Mo came to help him not long after.

After Xiao Yu'er prepared lunch, Father and the others also came back.Father and uncle also washed their hands and came in to help prepare the meal.When they brought all the food to the table in the main room and finished serving it, Father and the others also came over after washing their faces.Seeing that everyone was seated, Xiao Yu'er went to the cellar to fetch some wine and came back.In addition, I took a small bowl and filled half a bowl of wine for everyone.Father and the others smelled it and said, "This is the wine brewed last time, okay? It smells good."

Xiao Yu'er replied: "Yes, Father. We have already tasted it at home. It's delicious. Now you should try it too."

Father and the others were not in a hurry to eat, and they all picked up the wine bowls first.As soon as they tasted the taste, everyone fell in love with it immediately, and couldn't stop drinking it.Grandpa also drank half a bowl, and then said: "Eat first, don't drink too much, although this wine is not spicy, but if you drink too much, you will be intoxicated. There is work to do later, don't drink too much for lunch break I won’t be able to get out of bed anymore. You won’t be restricted when you eat at night, and you can drink more.” Then he started to pick up his rice bowl and eat.

Father and the others started to eat after hearing this, and the third child was only allowed to drink a few sips by Ah Mo.While eating, Grandpa asked: "Daniu, how is the matter of borrowing cattle from the village chief's house today?" Shen Daniu replied: "It's agreed, our family will use it first in a few days, and there are no other people's houses yet." Going to borrow it. The village chief’s family is also satisfied with using it so quickly.”

Grandpa felt relieved when he heard this, and Lin Zhengze said when he heard they borrowed a cow, "Grandpa Shen, I think your family can buy a cow by itself. It's so convenient, and you can use the bullock cart to go to the town to buy something. "

Everyone in the Shen family heard this, and after thinking about it, they all felt that this was indeed the case.Although cattle are not cheap, but now the income of the family is also good.There will be more and more money in the future.It's okay to buy cattle.Thinking of this, everyone looked at Grandpa expectantly.

Grandpa also thought for a while and said: "That's true, let's forget about it in the near future. Wait for the wheat to be planted and then go and find a cow to buy a cow. You don't need to buy a strong one and spend less money. In this way I bought them for the whole winter and kept them at home. They will definitely be much stronger when I plow in the spring next year. I will be able to use them at that time. Seeing that the villagers are so busy that they can start harvesting fruits, hurry up and try again. Make a batch of preserved fruits, so that you can get some money to buy cattle and silver."

Everyone was very happy after listening to Grandpa Shen's words, and promised to eat quickly, and prepared to work hard when they were full.

In this way, everyone in the Shen family was busy for a few days, and all the yellow straw in the field was carried home.The threshing of yellow grains in Yuanba is almost done, and there are still a few unfinished ones, so I plan to take my time.The family is ready to start farming.

On this day, just after eating the morning food, Shen Daniu went to the village chief's house to bring the cow back.The grandfather at home has already prepared the plow and rake bucket.When the cow came back, Xiao Yuer and Ah Mo quickly fed the prepared water to the cow.After the cows were finished eating, the men took them to the field.Dad and uncle also go out to harvest grass. During the time when the cattle are used, they will pack a bundle of grass every day and send it to the village head's house with the cattle at night, expressing that they will not let the cattle starve, and let the cattle have something to eat at night. .And at lunch time, when my father came back to eat, the cow also had something to eat.Grass and food should also be prepared.

Father and uncle also went out, and Mao Mao went to the field with Father and the others.Grandpa and Ah Mo who were still at home took a few small ones to thresh the yellow grains.Lin Zhengze sat in the main room reading a book as usual, occasionally drinking a few sips of wine.He really fell in love with this wine and drank a little from time to time.

After lunch, Father and the others went down to the field with the cows.After Xiao Yu'er cleaned up the kitchen and fed the pigs, Lin Zhengze stopped him: "Xiao Yu'er, I'm bored just sitting and reading all the time. I want to go to your house and see your father and the others. How do you plow the land? I heard that if it is not done well, it will affect the wheat harvest.”

Seeing that he wanted to see it, Xiao Yuer told Ah Mo, took some bamboo tubes filled with water and prepared to send it to Father and the others.He took out two more straw hats and gave Lin Zhengze one as usual.After putting it on, Xiao Yu'er carried Lin Zhengze with the water on his back and set off.

Most of Xiao Yu'er's land is by the river, but some of the poorer land is at the foot of the mountain farther away.Now Father and the others are plowing the land by the river first, which is also where Lin Zhengze visited a few days ago.

The situation in the field now is different from what Lin Zhengze saw last time. Last time, there were quite a few people in the field who hadn't finished harvesting their crops. Walking on the path beside the field, the sight was easily blocked by the straw.This is not the case now, the crops in the entire field have been harvested almost, and the straw in the field has almost been cut down, some have been carried home, and more are still drying in the field .At a glance, the field of vision is much larger.Many villagers can be seen busy in the fields.

They walked all the way, and when they passed a rice field, Lin Zhengze said, "Little Yu'er, why didn't you see any rice growing in your family?"

Xiao Yu'er looked at the rice in front of him and said: "My family used to save some fields to grow rice, but even if we planted it, we couldn't sell it for a lot of money, and there were a lot of people in our family. As we grew up, we were afraid that the food we planted throughout the year would not be enough. The family’s rations, in recent years, seldom grow rice. Most of the family’s fields are used to grow yellow grains, which is enough to eat. Last year, I planted a little, mainly because the children in the family were young in the past few years. , I want □□ rice porridge, I can’t eat yellow grain rice at all, so I planted it specially for our children. This year, I saw that the younger ones can eat yellow grain rice, so there is no need to prepare rice for them. What’s more, there are still some leftovers from last year’s planting. This year, we don’t plant any more, and all of them are planted with yellow seeds. My family said that we are all growing up, and we will eat better and better. Only a variety of yellow seeds are enough for us to eat. However, I think my family is not short of money now. Next year, let’s talk to them about a variety of rice. If you have money, you can buy some if you don’t have enough food. The main reason is that there are not many fields at home. Next year, let’s see if I can buy some rice. , If you still have money after planting fruit trees, you can also start to buy more land. At that time, the family will have more land, and it will be good if only rice is enough to eat.”

Lin Zhengze heard this and said: "That's true. If the family has income, they want to eat better. Although yellow grain rice is also very good, it's good to eat it once in a while."

They were talking, and they walked to the Shen family's field in a while.Xiao Yu'er asked Lin Zhengze to stay on the ridge of the field, and he brought the water to Father and the others by himself.My father saw that Xiao Yuer was bringing water, so he stopped and drank some water with my uncle and Maomao. Seeing that Lin Zhengze had also come, he said, "Why did Mr. Lin also come to the field? There are everywhere here. Mud, don’t get your clothes dirty. The sun is strong and it’s very dry.”

Lin Zhengze smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I came out after changing clothes, and Xiao Yu'er gave me a straw hat to wear, so I won't dry it out much. It's boring to stay at home and read all the time, so I thought Xiao Yu'er would take it with me." I'll come to the field to see how you prepare the land. You don't have to worry about me, just keep busy. I'll just look around at the top of the field."

Seeing what he said, Shen Daniu didn't say anything more, and said to Xiao Yu'er: "Take Mr. Lin to have a good look, and tell him how our house is cleared. We're about to get busy."

Xiao Yu'er agreed, and walked back from the field.

Xiao Yu'er walked to the ridge of the field, and led Lin Zhengze to look around the field.And explained to him in detail: "Now that the yellow grains have just been harvested, the land must be cleared in time. You can see that there are piles of yellow grain straw in the land that has not been cleared. This is after the straw has been cut. Those still left in the field. These piles and the weeds in the field must be plowed out in time, and they will all die in the sun for a few days. Then through land preparation, they are all pressed into the soil. After a period of time, there will be a few heavy rains. Those straws turned into the mud will rot in the ground. These are fertilizers. Plant the wheat seeds, and they will grow well in the future. Therefore, it is not possible to plant seeds immediately when the land is well established. Just plow it directly. If there are not many weeds on the plowed land, you need to use a rake to rake it again. The main reason is to loosen the soil above it. This way, the wheat seeds will germinate. Those places with a lot of weeds need to be exposed to the sun for a few days to let the weeds die and then rake again. However, for our land, it will take several days to go through it all. Even if there are weeds in the front of the land, it will die Let’s start raking again from the previous land, so that’s almost done. Our family can start harvesting fruit to make preserved fruit after we have finished the land, and we can start planting wheat after the batch of preserved fruit is sold.”

After hearing so much from him, Lin Zhengze handed him a bamboo tube filled with water, and said, "Drink some water, it's hot. Your lips are dry." Xiao Yu'er took it over and said, Xie Jiu had a few drinks saliva.Lin Zhengze went on to say: "It looks simple, but it sounds like a lot of work. Your family should buy a cow."

Xiao Yu'er also felt the same way: "Yes, it would be much more convenient to have a cow at home."
