The days when I am farming in the last days
Chapter 25 Sauerkraut Bean Rice
Although it was still Chinese New Year, everyone was not in the mood to have fun, and went back to their rooms before nine o'clock.
In fact, you can’t fall asleep even if you go to bed, it’s just that a group of people sit together with a sad face, the atmosphere will be more awkward, and the more you discuss this kind of thing, the more panic will make people feel. The collective fear is more likely to infect everyone.
After Tang Han finished washing, he returned to the room and saw Jiang Dai leaning on the head of the bed with a book spread out in front of him.
But she didn't look like she was reading a book, more like she was in a daze.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Dai looked back at her.Tang Han took advantage of the situation and asked, "What book are you reading?"
Jiang Dai opened the cover and gave her a look.
"A Dream of Red Mansions." Tang Han was a little surprised, "Why do you still carry this book with you?"
Jiang Dai said that she was traveling.It stands to reason that everything is kept simple when going out, and Jiang Dai did exactly that, even bringing only a set of clothes for a change of clothes.In this case, it is obviously a bit cumbersome to carry a thick and heavy book with you.
"Occasionally I flip through it." Jiang Dai said concisely, "Reading a book can make people calm down, especially such a famous book."
"Indeed." Tang Han nodded in agreement, "Unfortunately, I don't have any collection of books." This era is so convenient, you can find any kind of book you want to read online, and you are wandering outside, and your address is uncertain. To avoid the trouble of carrying it, Tang Han There is no habit of collecting books.
Years ago when I tidied up the house, I found some books from my school days, but apart from the textbooks, there was only one book that I could read, "Andersen's Fairy Tales".
"Do you want to see it?" Jiang Dai asked her.
"A gentleman doesn't take what others like." Tang Han took off his coat, climbed into bed and lay down, "You can take your time and see for yourself."
Jiang Dai smiled, but didn't force it.
If you can work hard and carry books with you, you must like them very much.But Tang Han could also see that Jiang Dai was not interested in reading at all at this time, and hadn't turned over the page in front of her for a long time.
She looked at it for a while, and seeing that Jiang Dai was out of her mind, she couldn't help but start talking to her, "Take it with you when you go out, you must be familiar with this book, right?"
"Almost." Jiang Dai said modestly.
Tang Han asked curiously, "Then which plot do you remember the most?"
"It should be Daiyu's ending." Jiang Dai said, "Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript to end her infatuation, Xue Baochai came out of the boudoir to make a big gift, and died with tears to meet the golden and jade marriage. There are dozens of them, but in the end the one written by Gao E stands out, and I think half of the credit is due to this plot.”
No matter how much Gao E's sequel is worth complaining about, the ending is undoubtedly in line with the character of the character, and it contains a kind of earth-shattering tragedy.
Although, Jiang Dai felt that if Cao Xueqin were to write it, it would be different.
Tang Han was a little surprised. In her opinion, most people who liked the Red Chamber despised Gao E's sequel, but Jiang Dai had a completely different idea.
She didn't know how to continue the topic for a while, but Jiang Dai was aroused by her and asked very interestedly, "What about you? Which plot do you remember the most?"
Tang Han thought for a while, and said, "It should be the part behind Concubine Yang's fluttering butterflies. Baochai was caught eavesdropping, and subconsciously dumped the blame on Daiyu, saying that she saw her squatting under the window. Just... this plot is too much. It's real."
"Oh..." Jiang Dai gave her a meaningful look, "So you are the Daiyu Party?"
"It doesn't count, does it?" Tang Han said uncertainly, "I really liked Daiyu when I was a child, but when I grow up, I will become vulgar, so I realize how difficult it is to be perfect like Baochai. I really don't like this plot. Impressive, but I don’t think Baochai is a pure villain.”
"Oh? Then how do you understand it?"
Tang Han turned around, turned to Jiang Dai sideways, and after clearing his mind for a while, said, "I think Baochai is... a little jealous of Daiyu, right?"
"It's the same as staying at Jia's house. Her conditions are much better than Daiyu's. With her mother and brother around, she should be more confident. But she is used to seeking perfection, even in front of little girls. People are like spring breeze. So Daiyu can directly scold Zhou Rui's family, and she won't bring me the leftovers unless someone picks them up. But she has to take the initiative to take out her new clothes and wrap them up for Jin Chuan'er, saying that she doesn't shy away from them It's impossible for her to have no idea about this kind of comparison."
Baochai and Daiyu are so evenly matched, others will compare them everywhere, and it is even more impossible for them not to compare themselves.
It is said that such two people are either confidants or enemies.They did become confidants later, but at the beginning they were hostile to each other, at least a little jealous and eager to win.
Therefore, when Baochai blurted out Daiyu's name at that time, she did not pass through her brain, it was completely driven by instinct, and she immediately thought of her, and it would never be someone else.The complex emotions in it are worth savoring.
"It sounds like you are very touched by this situation?" Jiang Dai's tone was a little subtle.
This love-killing plot is inexplicably unpleasant.
"Aha..." Tang Han scratched his face in embarrassment, "Ordinary people who have been beaten up by the society and try to get closer to Baochai, should all be envious of Daiyu?"
Although Daiyu is under the fence of others, Daiyu already cares about every step of the way, but she doesn't delay her at all, and she doesn't have to hide her temperament at all. She is recognized by the whole world of Red Mansions, and her mouth is more powerful than Wang Xifeng.
"Really?" Jiang Dai was thoughtful.
Tang Han made a mistake in secret, "But you should be different from ordinary people like us, right?"
She seems to be in a superior position naturally, and she doesn't need to compromise anyone at all, so it's no wonder that she can't understand Tang Han's mood.
"Why, do you think I look like Daiyu?" Jiang Dai laughed.
But Tang Han shook his head, turned over and lay flat, looked at the snow-white roof, and said with emotion, "Although your name should be from Daiyu, you look very similar to her on the surface, they are all the same... You have a strong character, but I think you should be Third Sister You in your bones."
Jiang Dai always felt that Tang Han paused suspiciously.
What she was going to say was definitely not a good thing.
But in life, it is rare to be confused, and there is no need to figure out what she is trying to say, because most of it will only make yourself more unhappy.And she felt that Tang Han's statement was indeed quite new, so she couldn't help asking along with her words, "Why do you say that?"
"Third Sister You..." Tang Han considered his words carefully, "It seems that she is flattering and acting on the occasion, but she is always ready to kill herself with a sword. This kind of stamina is honed in the desperate situation, and Daiyu will always cherish it." No, her ending will only be... to die in tears."
Fundamentally, Lin Daiyu recognizes her own destiny.
That was her choice in the first place: "He is the blessing of nectar, and I have no such water to return. But I can pay him back the tears of my life."
But Third Sister You didn't.
Therefore, Daiyu's tragedy will make people feel a kind of heart-wrenching pain, but what Third Sister You gives people is joy!
Tang Hanwu sighed to himself and didn't notice that Jiang Dai who was next to her was looking at her quietly, with countless complicated emotions surging in his eyes.At this moment, she even somewhat understood what Tang Han said, Xue Baochai's concern and jealousy towards Lin Daiyu.
It is not a pleasant experience to be seen through, especially for a person like her, who will subconsciously be vigilant and alert.
But on the other hand, there will be a
……
How to describe it?
Perhaps there is only Zhang Ailing's sentence: In the thousands of years, in the wilderness of time, there is no one step too early, no one step too late, just happened to catch up.
Even the chance meeting in this disaster seems to have a different meaning.
However, she looked at it quietly for a while, and then she said, "You don't have to be like someone, do you? I think you are neither like Baochai, nor like Daiyu, nor like others, but you. .”
This was said so sincerely that Tang Han was ashamed when he heard it, "I just think you are praising me for being unique."
"You were."
Tang Han finally turned his head to look at her, "To be honest, I thought it would be difficult for a person like you to survive. But if you are so good at talking, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Why is it difficult for me to survive?" Jiang Dai raised her eyebrows slightly.
Tang Han said, "Because of you, you are a winner in life at first glance, as long as you show up, you can firmly hold the hatred of the people around you. ——Don't you feel it at all?"
Jiang Dai recalled her short half life, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't at first, but let you say this, I have to say, I can live safely until now, thanks to the kind people I met. So so far , I haven’t been sacked on the road yet.”
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Jiang Dai used to think that she got along well with Tang Han and had no burden because she didn't think much, and she could see the bottom of her mind at a glance, so that people didn't have to guess.But now she realizes that Tang Han is not without depth, it's just that she is like a spring that is too clear, which makes people feel that they can see the bottom.
Very different from her.
So she laughed for a while and said, "Well, life should be easy for someone like you." No matter what circumstances she was in, she could go with it and try her best to live well .
This emotion can even infect those around you.
Jiang Dai was not at peace after reading so many news today.But during the short conversation with Tang Han, the mood miraculously calmed down.
She finally closed the book in her hand, "It's getting late, go to sleep. Don't you have to get up early to work tomorrow?"
"What do you do when you get up early?" Tang Han looked at her.It's not that she looks down on people, but Jiang Dai doesn't look like a material for work, and no one counts her as labor.To put it bluntly, the whole family went to work in the mountains and left her at home to cook, which made people worry.
Jiang Dai thinks very much
Kai, "There is always something I can do, even if I can't, I can learn."
Seeing that Tang Han opened his mouth to refute, she quickly blocked her with words, "You also said that I am not a guest now. How can there be any reason to eat rice at home all the time? I don't know how long the epidemic will last, but half a year is the last time. At least. Am I always like this?"
"Have you...haven't thought about finding a way to leave?" Tang Han was silent for a moment and asked softly.
Jiang Dai was taken aback, "Oh...you heard Qin Yu call someone?"
Tang Han didn't deny it, "Yes. Although you didn't say what you do, my intuition tells me that your energy is definitely greater than Qin Yu's."
Qin Yu and Jiang Dai have been living here, and it is not a long-term solution. It is normal to want to leave.Qin Yu is still a boss, he has property under him, and employees rely on him for food. Besides, there are many relatives and friends in the provincial capital, so he naturally has to try to go back.
It wasn't far away at first, and it's not impossible for his connections to extend here.
However, this time the situation was really bad.According to Jiang Dai's private speculation, since the country has announced that the country has entered a quarantine period in a high-profile manner, I am afraid that the government has already begun to be chaotic, and it will not last long to support it.It's impossible to leave at the moment, but after a while the outside will really become chaotic, but there is a chance to go back.
But if it really got to that point, it would be useless to go back, but it would be safer to stay here.
Qin Yu probably won't leave with the child.
Because she thought clearly, Jiang Dai didn't care about Qin Yu's actions at all, but she didn't expect Tang Han to hear it too.
Hearing what she said, she smiled and said, "I've let you down. I may have been good before, but now it's time for tea." Seeing Tang Han's face, "I'll just quietly listen to your nonsense", obviously it's not true. She didn't believe the words, so she said emphatically, "I didn't lie to you. Didn't I say it before, when I met you, my whole body cost more than 1000 yuan."
"Not more than 1000 yuan in cash?" Tang Han asked.
"It's full of wealth." Jiang Dai emphasized.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she was quite naive again, "Do you know what it means to be fully wealthy? So let's stop talking about the wheels. In short, I actually have nowhere to go. So Qin I don’t know if I’m going to go or not, but I never thought about going.——After leaving here, where can I find such a comfortable place?”
Tang Han believed that Jiang Dai would not fool herself on this kind of issue—and it was unnecessary.But she didn't feel that her judgment was wrong, she just guessed what the inside story was, which led Jiang Dai to her current state.
That being the case, she naturally would not expose other people's scars, and followed Jiang Dai's words, "You will know tomorrow, how comfortable is life in the village?"
……
In fact, Jiang Dai didn't think of rural life too simply.
They are lucky, they come during the Chinese New Year, which is the most leisure time of the year, and in order to prepare the New Year’s goods, the food is also the most abundant time, they eat from morning to night every day, don’t have to worry about other things, naturally feel extremely Cozy.
When you get really busy, physical work is definitely more tormenting than mental work.
But when I really got started, I realized that doing farm work is a hundred times more difficult than I thought.
Because she went to bed early, she had something in mind, so she got up at dawn.But as soon as he went out, he found that Tang's father and Tang mother had already woken up.In the middle of the main room was a large pile of potatoes, which Tang's mother had just moved out, while Tang's father was in the yard trimming the plow that would be used later.
"Let me help." Seeing Tang's mother moving a small stool over, holding a kitchen knife and preparing to cut potatoes, Jiang Dai said hastily.
Tang's mother declined, "No, the fire is already on, and there is water boiling on the stove. Go and see if it's hot, then wash your face and prepare to cook something."
But Jiang Dai made up her mind to help, so Tang Ma had no choice but to find another knife and a piece of wood for her, let her sit beside her, and instructed her how to cut.
Potatoes are sown directly from the tubers.But planting a big potato like this is obviously a waste.Because it can sprout from every bud eye on the epidermis, but the more buds the better, generally speaking, only two or three buds are enough for a nest, so as not to lose nutrition and not grow well in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to slice along the veins of the potato skin, so that each piece has two or three bud eyes.In this way, three or four tubers can be cut from one potato, which also greatly saves the amount of seeds used.
Although Jiang Dai doesn't cook much, she can still cut things with a knife, not to mention that it's not a delicate job.However, the reality is that after only a few cuts, she couldn't take it anymore.Not because of hard work, but because...it was too cold.
Although the new year has passed, spring has begun and the weather is gradually warming up, but the temperature is still very low, especially in the morning and evening, only a few degrees.Potatoes contain a lot of water, so they are naturally cool to the touch.After cutting, the hands will inevitably get wet, and they will soon become stiff after being shocked by the cold air.
After almost cutting her finger twice, Jiang Dai was finally forced by Tang Ma to warm herself up.
This time she didn't
Reluctantly, I plan to go to rest for a while and then come back to continue.
As soon as she left, Tang Han came out of the house on his back.Seeing that there was still a vacant seat, she knew what was going on at a glance, so she walked over silently and took over Jiang Dai's job.
Compared with Jiang Dai, her movements are much faster.
The mother and daughter worked together, and in a short while most of the pile of potatoes disappeared.Tang Ma asked Tang Han to pack the potatoes in his pocket, and when he saw that the quantity was about the same, he stopped temporarily.Potatoes must be sown immediately after cutting, so as not to drain the water, and the ground has not been prepared in advance, so it needs to be fertilized and sown now. Today, it is estimated that only one piece of land can be planted, and more cutting is not allowed.
When Qin Yu heard the movement and got up with Xiao Ze, work here was over.
A group of people went to the stove, only to find that Jiang Dai had already boiled the water, and even the bowls were ready, waiting for them to come and order noodles.
After breakfast, Tang's father led the cow and set off first.Tang Ma and Tang Han put the potatoes in the basket, and Jiang Dai immediately volunteered to carry a basket.As a result, Tang Han followed behind to carry the basket for her, and she stopped cooking after walking a few steps.
Qin Yu also wanted to help, but was also declined by Tang Han, "The road is not easy, you should carry Xiao Ze on your back."
"Why don't you drive?" Jiang Dai asked in a low voice.
Tang Han said, "Because the place is very close, we can get there in a few steps. This road has not been repaired, and the car can't drive up it. It is too troublesome to take a long detour on the other side." Oil also costs money.
She easily carried the backpack and walked in front, Jiang Dai followed behind her, not without emotion, "Oh, now I finally know how useless I am."
Now there is only an outbreak of the virus, the state organs and social system have not collapsed, and they can still farm here safely.If there is a major natural disaster, or the end of the world described in the novel, Jiang Dai feels that she will not be able to live for three chapters in a state where she can't lift her shoulders.
I have a very clear understanding of myself.
"There is a specialization in surgery." Tang Han comforted her.
Jiang Dai looked at the sky, "To be honest, I actually have a background in finance. What kind of job do you think I can get in here?"
Tang Han: "..." Excuse me, take my leave.
However, she couldn't help but have a huge doubt in her heart: How can someone who is engaged in finance be reduced to a situation where the net worth is only 1000 yuan?What's more, although Jiang Dai said it lightly, Tang Han is sure that she must be one of the best in her own industry.
It's really heartfelt...
From the Tang family to the land they are going to
, all the way is climbing.And as Tang Han said before, this road has not been well repaired, and it can fully deserve the word "rough and uneven".
Jiang Dai walked beside Tang Han empty-handed, she couldn't help panting, but when she turned her head and saw that she was only short of breath, she was immediately in awe.
Fortunately, the place is really close. After climbing the slope, when they reached the top of the slope, Jiang Dai saw that Tang's father had harnessed the ox and was plowing the field.
This field was overturned once in winter, and now it is only necessary to get out of the furrows to plant potatoes, so Father Tang moved very quickly, holding the plow back and forth in the field, and plowed out a small piece of land in a short while.
Tang Ma and Tang Han put down their baskets and separated the potatoes with a dustpan and a basket.
Seeing this, Jiang Dai quickly asked, "Auntie, what should I do? Find something for me to do, or I'll be embarrassed to eat."
"Then put the potatoes." Tang Ma looked left and right, thinking that this should be the only job she could do.Others, such as throwing ash and fertilizing, are even more unsuitable.So when she spoke again, her tone became more determined, "You and Qin Yu put potatoes."
The job assigned by Tang Han was to spread a layer of ash in the ditch first.The ashes are the straw vacated in winter, the firewood cut down by the roadside, and some messy things. It is also a kind of fertilizer. Because it is mild enough, potatoes can be put directly on it.
The only technical content of throwing potatoes is that the spacing must be careful. Each piece of potato is about an arm's length away, leaving room for them to grow.After all, new potatoes will grow in the soil in the future.The biggest difficulty is that in order to keep the distance steady, you must bend down and put the potatoes on it gently.
It is a huge test for the waist.
But Ozawa likes this job, and his height is just right, and he doesn't even have to bend his waist, which saves Qin Yu a lot of trouble.And because Tang Han was alone, Qin Yu and Jiang Dai could take turns to rest, but they barely persevered.
Tang's mother's job is to fertilize the back, and Tang's father will come to help after plowing the field.
What is applied is not chemical fertilizers, but farmyard manure piled up in the soil in advance to ferment.As for chemical fertilizers, they will not be applied until the potatoes emerge to weed.And this year's situation, I don't know if I can buy new fertilizers. Although the Tang family still has more than a dozen bags of fertilizers left over from last year, they still need to grow corn and other things in the future, so they have to save them.
From dawn to dusk, this piece of land was finally planted.The last step was completed by Tang's father leading the ox. He used the plow to turn the soil on both sides to cover the manure and potatoes, and just formed the shape of a furrow.
After a busy day, Jiang Dai's current image is quite embarrassing. She didn't care about being dirty, so she sat down on the ridge, rested for a while, and then asked Tang Han, "Why use cattle? Why don't you buy that kind of cultivated land?" small machine?"
Compared with animal power, although machines also need to be controlled by humans, they can still save a lot of trouble.Even links such as sowing and fertilizing can be undertaken together.
Tang Han shrugged, "I tried it before, it didn't work."
She kicked a couple of random kicks in the ground in front of her, and kicked out a stone the size of a ping-pong ball, "We are in a mountainous area, and the ground is full of gravel. useless."
"Look over there." Tang Han pointed to the ridge on the other side again, "Did you see that low stone wall? Those stones were all picked out from the ground."
In fact, every winter when digging through the frozen ground, Mama Tang would pick up the stones in the ground with a dustpan.But every year they pick it up, there are still stones in the field every year.Year by year, the low wall is getting higher and higher.
Jiang Dai nodded thoughtfully, looked at it for a while, stretched out her hand and pointed at the ground, "Why do I feel that the distance between the two ridges is a bit too wide?" If calculated according to the scientific planting distance, the vertical and horizontal They should be about the same, there is no need to be so far apart.
"Bingo! Congratulations, you are right, but there is no reward." Tang Han said, "Because the field will be interplanted with corn later, so we have to reserve space first."
She really believed that Jiang Dai wanted to live and work here in peace and contentment, otherwise she wouldn't be interested in everything and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
But obviously, the difficulty is still great.
After a tiring day, when he returned home, Tang Han couldn't wait to take a bath.After changing clothes and coming out, I felt refreshed.
She brought a change of clothes by herself, but of course it was not enough.So I started wearing Tang Han's clothes a long time ago.Even the outfit I wore to the ground today.As for Qin Yu, he was wearing Tang's father's clothes, and they put away their own clothes so as not to waste them in the field.
Even Ozawa and Tang's mother found some clothes that Tang Han and sisters wore when they were young.
Although they are girls' clothes, they are all plain in fabrics and patterns, and tend to be neutral.Ozawa is only three years old, so he doesn't shy away from these things.
To say that the quality of the clothes is really good, after so many years, it has not been affected at all.But what shocked Tang Han even more was that Tang Ma kept these things away.She also thought that when the old house was overthrown to build a new one last time, it should be almost lost.
But loving to keep things is not all bad. For example, if it weren't for Tang's mother's hobby, how could they stay so peacefully?Although the family is self-sufficient in many things and has enough food, things like salt still have to be bought outside.However, Tang's mother hoards a sack of salt every year, which is totally worthwhile.
Tang Han hasn't been at home for so many years, so the clothes left at home are naturally worn when he was a student.
When she was in college, she once liked brightly colored clothes, such as red, yellow and green, and the design was also cute and academic.Wearing these clothes on Jiang Dai, they should not match her temperament at all, but they have a completely different charm.
I feel that she is much younger and more lively.
Especially after she was tired all day, she could no longer maintain her usual upright and upright posture. She was lying softly on the sofa, and she seemed to lose that sharp temperament and aggression, and her facial features became much more distinct. The appearance seems to have also risen several Levels.
Everyone lined up to take a shower, and dinner was just cooked.Tang Han washed the cabbage, and Tang Ma took out the frozen meat and fried tofu slices from the refrigerator and cut them up. Put the lard in the pot and melt it, sauté the shallots, ginger and garlic, add the sour soup and bring to a boil, then throw in a few frozen tomatoes, It's just a pot of clear soup.
Tang Ma cooked the sliced meat, tofu and vegetables in the pan, and announced that the meal was ready.
The soup smelled delicious, and the clear soup would never be greasy, but Jiang Dai lay still on the sofa, feeling overtired and had no appetite at all.On the contrary, Qin Zezhi, who was also tired all day, completely changed his habit of not eating well and just thinking about eating snacks. He ate a whole bowl of rice and even added a bowl of soup.
"Xiao Jiang, can you eat a little?" Tang's mother advised her.
Jiang Dai looked at it twice, and really didn't want to eat, so she said, "I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat first."
Tang Han observed for a long time, and determined that she was just not looking well, she must be tired, so he said, "Let her rest for a while, she might be hungry when she recovers."
However, she felt that it was one thing to have no appetite, and the dishes tonight probably did not appeal much to Jiang Dai.Tang Han thought for a while and asked Tang Ma, "Mom, the sauerkraut you made last time should be almost the same?"
"It's been more than ten days, it should be about the same." Tang Ma said.
"Then let's make sauerkraut soup, that appetizing and refreshing." Tang Han stood up as he said, "I'll cut two potatoes and put them in as a side dish."
Sauerkraut was originally
It is boiled, and then soaked in the brine where the tofu is ordered, and marinated. After washing, it only needs to be boiled on the stove, and it can be eaten directly.Sour and appetizing, just smelling the aroma that permeates the air can shake people's spirits.
Thinly sliced potatoes are boiled in sour soup, the taste is crunchy and has a unique flavor.
"Use this soup to make you a bowl of rice, is it okay?" Tang Han asked Jiang Dai.
Jiang Dai hesitated for a moment, she didn't know if the sauerkraut was to her liking, or she couldn't bear to watch other people around her, so she finally nodded.
But it turns out that Su’s sour soup with rice is really appetizing. After Jiang Dai took the first bite, her stomach that refused everything seemed to wake up all of a sudden.After eating a bowl of rice, there is still something unfinished.Seeing this, Tang Han said, "Simmer a pot of beans and rice tonight, and eat pickled cabbage and beans and rice tomorrow."
It stands to reason that I have been busy recently, so I should eat something rich in oil and water.But I ate enough a year ago, so it's good to change the taste now.
After eating, Jiang Dai didn't stay by the stove, and went straight to bed.
Tang Han washed the dishes, washed out the beans and rice, put them on the stove to simmer, and then went back to the room. ——Although she seems to be able to handle it with ease, after all, she hasn't been so tired for a long time. In fact, her body is a bit too much, so she needs to rest more.
Jiang Dai hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was reading that "Dream of Red Mansions" again.
Tang Han was a little surprised, "I'm so tired today, why don't you go to sleep?"
"Can't sleep." Jiang Dai was in front of her, but she didn't grit her teeth to hold on. "I feel my heart beating very fast, and my whole body is sore and painful. And look at me," she stretched out her hand and handed it to Tang Han, so that she could sleep. see clearly.This hand has been shaking slightly, which is obviously a sequela of excessive force.
"Thank you." Tang Han shook the hand.
Jiang Dai was worried, "Just sleep like this, let alone work tomorrow, I guess I won't be able to get up directly."
That's too embarrassing.
"Let me press it for you?" Tang Han suggested.
Jiang Dai seemed to be waiting for her words. Immediately after hearing the words, she closed the book in her hand and said politely, "Then I will trouble you."
Although Tang Han's massage is from Ye Luzi, she has experience and knows where the muscles are most sore and need to be relaxed at this time, so she can always pinpoint the key points.Jiang Dai gritted her teeth and endured it at first, not being able to make any indecent noises, and she couldn't care less about it after a while.
Lying on the pillow, she felt her body completely relaxed, tiredness and drowsiness surged up, and she fell into a half-dream and half-awake chaos for a moment.
It seems to be so confused, and then open
When I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Dai sat up from the bed and tried to move her arms and legs. Although she still had a little pain, it didn't affect her movements at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
It is rare for her to get up later than Tang Han today. When she went out, she saw Qin Yu who also got up late today and didn't go out for a run at all. Jiang Dai couldn't help but think of herself before the Chinese New Year.At that time, she was still worried about eating too much every day and gaining weight on her body, and she was going to go out for morning exercises after the new year was warmer.
Thinking about it now, it's really too young too simple.
With such high-intensity farm work every day, where is the need for extra exercise?It's no wonder that I occasionally meet people in the village, but I hardly see a few fat people.It's not that their hearts are not broad enough, it's just that their daily consumption is too large, and fat cannot accumulate.
I don't know if she saw her and Qin Yu's powerlessness, Tang Ma didn't cut potatoes this morning.But Jiang Dai knew that there were still several plots of land ready to grow potatoes, so it was impossible to change her mind suddenly.
It is estimated that they want to let them rest and take it easy.
But there are other things to do at home.After breakfast, Tang's father led the cow and went out with the plow on his shoulders, while Tang's mother stayed at home with the others, preparing to build a warm shed.
It is said to be a "shed", but it is actually only half the height of a person.Put two thick logs in parallel in the yard, spread plastic film in the middle, block the two ends, then use wooden sticks to form triangles along the two sides, and finally cover the plastic film to seal it up, a simple warm house The shed is complete.Add water to it, and then dissolve the fertilizer in the water, and the foundation is ready.
But it is impossible to plant vegetables directly in the water, so a foam floating tray that can float on the water is also needed.
The floating plate is ready-made, divided into small grids one by one, and the bottom is hollowed out.Mix fertilizer and substrate with plant ash, fill the grid in the floating tray, sprinkle rapeseed on it, sieve a little soil to cover, and then send it directly into the greenhouse.
Because the temperature inside is high enough, it takes a few days for seedlings to germinate.At that time, they will be planted in the yard. After two or three months, there will be new Chinese cabbage to eat.
Compared with yesterday, today's labor intensity is simply drizzle.
Jiang Dai squatted on the ground and sprinkled seeds on the floating tray.Only two or three seeds can be sprinkled in a small grid, but the seeds of cabbage are smaller than sesame seeds, and there are about a dozen seeds in a twist, and more will be placed from time to time, so we must be careful.This job unexpectedly suits the patient Jiang Dai.
While sprinkling, she said, "I thought it would be enough to just plant the seeds in the ground, but it's so troublesome."
"Planted directly in the ground
Of course, it is also possible, but in this case, the quality of the vegetable seedlings will be better and the survival rate will be higher. "Tang Han explained, "And if you plant it in the ground, the vegetables will grow, and the grass will also grow, which will take away a lot of nutrients. It is better to cultivate the vegetable seedlings first. "
"Is it the same for other species?" Jiang Dai drew inferences.
Tang Han said, "It will be the same when planting corn in the future. Grow seedlings before planting, otherwise the seeds planted will be picked out by birds and mountain mice and eaten."
"!!" Jiang Dai opened her eyes wide.
Tang Han said again, "Actually, there are plastic films and floating trays now, which are much more convenient. When I was young, I always made nutrition bags first when planting corn. A plastic bag in the shape of a ring must first be placed on a jagged On the tool, stretch the bag open, fill it with soil, and then pull out the tool. Not to mention time-consuming and laborious, if you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted."
The progress and changes of the times are sometimes not only reflected in those big aspects, but also in such silent details.
After taking a day off, I started planting potatoes again the next day.
In fact, it was too late at this time. Some families in the village planted potatoes before the Chinese New Year.Covered with thick soil, as long as there are no seedlings, there is no need to worry about being damaged by snow.On the contrary, after the snow water melts, it can help the potatoes emerge as soon as possible.
But now, the potatoes must be planted before the spring rains.Otherwise, if it rains, the ground will be muddy, not to mention inconvenient to operate, and you may miss the season.
In the first two days, Qin Yu and Jiang Dai were still not used to it, and every day they were so tired that they wanted to lie down when they went home.But human beings are always very adaptable, as long as they are not tossed down, they will gradually adapt.Later, when they returned home after a busy day, they still thought about what to have for dinner and changed the menu.
When it comes to menus, no
In fact, you can’t fall asleep even if you go to bed, it’s just that a group of people sit together with a sad face, the atmosphere will be more awkward, and the more you discuss this kind of thing, the more panic will make people feel. The collective fear is more likely to infect everyone.
After Tang Han finished washing, he returned to the room and saw Jiang Dai leaning on the head of the bed with a book spread out in front of him.
But she didn't look like she was reading a book, more like she was in a daze.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Dai looked back at her.Tang Han took advantage of the situation and asked, "What book are you reading?"
Jiang Dai opened the cover and gave her a look.
"A Dream of Red Mansions." Tang Han was a little surprised, "Why do you still carry this book with you?"
Jiang Dai said that she was traveling.It stands to reason that everything is kept simple when going out, and Jiang Dai did exactly that, even bringing only a set of clothes for a change of clothes.In this case, it is obviously a bit cumbersome to carry a thick and heavy book with you.
"Occasionally I flip through it." Jiang Dai said concisely, "Reading a book can make people calm down, especially such a famous book."
"Indeed." Tang Han nodded in agreement, "Unfortunately, I don't have any collection of books." This era is so convenient, you can find any kind of book you want to read online, and you are wandering outside, and your address is uncertain. To avoid the trouble of carrying it, Tang Han There is no habit of collecting books.
Years ago when I tidied up the house, I found some books from my school days, but apart from the textbooks, there was only one book that I could read, "Andersen's Fairy Tales".
"Do you want to see it?" Jiang Dai asked her.
"A gentleman doesn't take what others like." Tang Han took off his coat, climbed into bed and lay down, "You can take your time and see for yourself."
Jiang Dai smiled, but didn't force it.
If you can work hard and carry books with you, you must like them very much.But Tang Han could also see that Jiang Dai was not interested in reading at all at this time, and hadn't turned over the page in front of her for a long time.
She looked at it for a while, and seeing that Jiang Dai was out of her mind, she couldn't help but start talking to her, "Take it with you when you go out, you must be familiar with this book, right?"
"Almost." Jiang Dai said modestly.
Tang Han asked curiously, "Then which plot do you remember the most?"
"It should be Daiyu's ending." Jiang Dai said, "Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript to end her infatuation, Xue Baochai came out of the boudoir to make a big gift, and died with tears to meet the golden and jade marriage. There are dozens of them, but in the end the one written by Gao E stands out, and I think half of the credit is due to this plot.”
No matter how much Gao E's sequel is worth complaining about, the ending is undoubtedly in line with the character of the character, and it contains a kind of earth-shattering tragedy.
Although, Jiang Dai felt that if Cao Xueqin were to write it, it would be different.
Tang Han was a little surprised. In her opinion, most people who liked the Red Chamber despised Gao E's sequel, but Jiang Dai had a completely different idea.
She didn't know how to continue the topic for a while, but Jiang Dai was aroused by her and asked very interestedly, "What about you? Which plot do you remember the most?"
Tang Han thought for a while, and said, "It should be the part behind Concubine Yang's fluttering butterflies. Baochai was caught eavesdropping, and subconsciously dumped the blame on Daiyu, saying that she saw her squatting under the window. Just... this plot is too much. It's real."
"Oh..." Jiang Dai gave her a meaningful look, "So you are the Daiyu Party?"
"It doesn't count, does it?" Tang Han said uncertainly, "I really liked Daiyu when I was a child, but when I grow up, I will become vulgar, so I realize how difficult it is to be perfect like Baochai. I really don't like this plot. Impressive, but I don’t think Baochai is a pure villain.”
"Oh? Then how do you understand it?"
Tang Han turned around, turned to Jiang Dai sideways, and after clearing his mind for a while, said, "I think Baochai is... a little jealous of Daiyu, right?"
"It's the same as staying at Jia's house. Her conditions are much better than Daiyu's. With her mother and brother around, she should be more confident. But she is used to seeking perfection, even in front of little girls. People are like spring breeze. So Daiyu can directly scold Zhou Rui's family, and she won't bring me the leftovers unless someone picks them up. But she has to take the initiative to take out her new clothes and wrap them up for Jin Chuan'er, saying that she doesn't shy away from them It's impossible for her to have no idea about this kind of comparison."
Baochai and Daiyu are so evenly matched, others will compare them everywhere, and it is even more impossible for them not to compare themselves.
It is said that such two people are either confidants or enemies.They did become confidants later, but at the beginning they were hostile to each other, at least a little jealous and eager to win.
Therefore, when Baochai blurted out Daiyu's name at that time, she did not pass through her brain, it was completely driven by instinct, and she immediately thought of her, and it would never be someone else.The complex emotions in it are worth savoring.
"It sounds like you are very touched by this situation?" Jiang Dai's tone was a little subtle.
This love-killing plot is inexplicably unpleasant.
"Aha..." Tang Han scratched his face in embarrassment, "Ordinary people who have been beaten up by the society and try to get closer to Baochai, should all be envious of Daiyu?"
Although Daiyu is under the fence of others, Daiyu already cares about every step of the way, but she doesn't delay her at all, and she doesn't have to hide her temperament at all. She is recognized by the whole world of Red Mansions, and her mouth is more powerful than Wang Xifeng.
"Really?" Jiang Dai was thoughtful.
Tang Han made a mistake in secret, "But you should be different from ordinary people like us, right?"
She seems to be in a superior position naturally, and she doesn't need to compromise anyone at all, so it's no wonder that she can't understand Tang Han's mood.
"Why, do you think I look like Daiyu?" Jiang Dai laughed.
But Tang Han shook his head, turned over and lay flat, looked at the snow-white roof, and said with emotion, "Although your name should be from Daiyu, you look very similar to her on the surface, they are all the same... You have a strong character, but I think you should be Third Sister You in your bones."
Jiang Dai always felt that Tang Han paused suspiciously.
What she was going to say was definitely not a good thing.
But in life, it is rare to be confused, and there is no need to figure out what she is trying to say, because most of it will only make yourself more unhappy.And she felt that Tang Han's statement was indeed quite new, so she couldn't help asking along with her words, "Why do you say that?"
"Third Sister You..." Tang Han considered his words carefully, "It seems that she is flattering and acting on the occasion, but she is always ready to kill herself with a sword. This kind of stamina is honed in the desperate situation, and Daiyu will always cherish it." No, her ending will only be... to die in tears."
Fundamentally, Lin Daiyu recognizes her own destiny.
That was her choice in the first place: "He is the blessing of nectar, and I have no such water to return. But I can pay him back the tears of my life."
But Third Sister You didn't.
Therefore, Daiyu's tragedy will make people feel a kind of heart-wrenching pain, but what Third Sister You gives people is joy!
Tang Hanwu sighed to himself and didn't notice that Jiang Dai who was next to her was looking at her quietly, with countless complicated emotions surging in his eyes.At this moment, she even somewhat understood what Tang Han said, Xue Baochai's concern and jealousy towards Lin Daiyu.
It is not a pleasant experience to be seen through, especially for a person like her, who will subconsciously be vigilant and alert.
But on the other hand, there will be a
……
How to describe it?
Perhaps there is only Zhang Ailing's sentence: In the thousands of years, in the wilderness of time, there is no one step too early, no one step too late, just happened to catch up.
Even the chance meeting in this disaster seems to have a different meaning.
However, she looked at it quietly for a while, and then she said, "You don't have to be like someone, do you? I think you are neither like Baochai, nor like Daiyu, nor like others, but you. .”
This was said so sincerely that Tang Han was ashamed when he heard it, "I just think you are praising me for being unique."
"You were."
Tang Han finally turned his head to look at her, "To be honest, I thought it would be difficult for a person like you to survive. But if you are so good at talking, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Why is it difficult for me to survive?" Jiang Dai raised her eyebrows slightly.
Tang Han said, "Because of you, you are a winner in life at first glance, as long as you show up, you can firmly hold the hatred of the people around you. ——Don't you feel it at all?"
Jiang Dai recalled her short half life, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't at first, but let you say this, I have to say, I can live safely until now, thanks to the kind people I met. So so far , I haven’t been sacked on the road yet.”
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Jiang Dai used to think that she got along well with Tang Han and had no burden because she didn't think much, and she could see the bottom of her mind at a glance, so that people didn't have to guess.But now she realizes that Tang Han is not without depth, it's just that she is like a spring that is too clear, which makes people feel that they can see the bottom.
Very different from her.
So she laughed for a while and said, "Well, life should be easy for someone like you." No matter what circumstances she was in, she could go with it and try her best to live well .
This emotion can even infect those around you.
Jiang Dai was not at peace after reading so many news today.But during the short conversation with Tang Han, the mood miraculously calmed down.
She finally closed the book in her hand, "It's getting late, go to sleep. Don't you have to get up early to work tomorrow?"
"What do you do when you get up early?" Tang Han looked at her.It's not that she looks down on people, but Jiang Dai doesn't look like a material for work, and no one counts her as labor.To put it bluntly, the whole family went to work in the mountains and left her at home to cook, which made people worry.
Jiang Dai thinks very much
Kai, "There is always something I can do, even if I can't, I can learn."
Seeing that Tang Han opened his mouth to refute, she quickly blocked her with words, "You also said that I am not a guest now. How can there be any reason to eat rice at home all the time? I don't know how long the epidemic will last, but half a year is the last time. At least. Am I always like this?"
"Have you...haven't thought about finding a way to leave?" Tang Han was silent for a moment and asked softly.
Jiang Dai was taken aback, "Oh...you heard Qin Yu call someone?"
Tang Han didn't deny it, "Yes. Although you didn't say what you do, my intuition tells me that your energy is definitely greater than Qin Yu's."
Qin Yu and Jiang Dai have been living here, and it is not a long-term solution. It is normal to want to leave.Qin Yu is still a boss, he has property under him, and employees rely on him for food. Besides, there are many relatives and friends in the provincial capital, so he naturally has to try to go back.
It wasn't far away at first, and it's not impossible for his connections to extend here.
However, this time the situation was really bad.According to Jiang Dai's private speculation, since the country has announced that the country has entered a quarantine period in a high-profile manner, I am afraid that the government has already begun to be chaotic, and it will not last long to support it.It's impossible to leave at the moment, but after a while the outside will really become chaotic, but there is a chance to go back.
But if it really got to that point, it would be useless to go back, but it would be safer to stay here.
Qin Yu probably won't leave with the child.
Because she thought clearly, Jiang Dai didn't care about Qin Yu's actions at all, but she didn't expect Tang Han to hear it too.
Hearing what she said, she smiled and said, "I've let you down. I may have been good before, but now it's time for tea." Seeing Tang Han's face, "I'll just quietly listen to your nonsense", obviously it's not true. She didn't believe the words, so she said emphatically, "I didn't lie to you. Didn't I say it before, when I met you, my whole body cost more than 1000 yuan."
"Not more than 1000 yuan in cash?" Tang Han asked.
"It's full of wealth." Jiang Dai emphasized.
After she finished speaking, she felt that she was quite naive again, "Do you know what it means to be fully wealthy? So let's stop talking about the wheels. In short, I actually have nowhere to go. So Qin I don’t know if I’m going to go or not, but I never thought about going.——After leaving here, where can I find such a comfortable place?”
Tang Han believed that Jiang Dai would not fool herself on this kind of issue—and it was unnecessary.But she didn't feel that her judgment was wrong, she just guessed what the inside story was, which led Jiang Dai to her current state.
That being the case, she naturally would not expose other people's scars, and followed Jiang Dai's words, "You will know tomorrow, how comfortable is life in the village?"
……
In fact, Jiang Dai didn't think of rural life too simply.
They are lucky, they come during the Chinese New Year, which is the most leisure time of the year, and in order to prepare the New Year’s goods, the food is also the most abundant time, they eat from morning to night every day, don’t have to worry about other things, naturally feel extremely Cozy.
When you get really busy, physical work is definitely more tormenting than mental work.
But when I really got started, I realized that doing farm work is a hundred times more difficult than I thought.
Because she went to bed early, she had something in mind, so she got up at dawn.But as soon as he went out, he found that Tang's father and Tang mother had already woken up.In the middle of the main room was a large pile of potatoes, which Tang's mother had just moved out, while Tang's father was in the yard trimming the plow that would be used later.
"Let me help." Seeing Tang's mother moving a small stool over, holding a kitchen knife and preparing to cut potatoes, Jiang Dai said hastily.
Tang's mother declined, "No, the fire is already on, and there is water boiling on the stove. Go and see if it's hot, then wash your face and prepare to cook something."
But Jiang Dai made up her mind to help, so Tang Ma had no choice but to find another knife and a piece of wood for her, let her sit beside her, and instructed her how to cut.
Potatoes are sown directly from the tubers.But planting a big potato like this is obviously a waste.Because it can sprout from every bud eye on the epidermis, but the more buds the better, generally speaking, only two or three buds are enough for a nest, so as not to lose nutrition and not grow well in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to slice along the veins of the potato skin, so that each piece has two or three bud eyes.In this way, three or four tubers can be cut from one potato, which also greatly saves the amount of seeds used.
Although Jiang Dai doesn't cook much, she can still cut things with a knife, not to mention that it's not a delicate job.However, the reality is that after only a few cuts, she couldn't take it anymore.Not because of hard work, but because...it was too cold.
Although the new year has passed, spring has begun and the weather is gradually warming up, but the temperature is still very low, especially in the morning and evening, only a few degrees.Potatoes contain a lot of water, so they are naturally cool to the touch.After cutting, the hands will inevitably get wet, and they will soon become stiff after being shocked by the cold air.
After almost cutting her finger twice, Jiang Dai was finally forced by Tang Ma to warm herself up.
This time she didn't
Reluctantly, I plan to go to rest for a while and then come back to continue.
As soon as she left, Tang Han came out of the house on his back.Seeing that there was still a vacant seat, she knew what was going on at a glance, so she walked over silently and took over Jiang Dai's job.
Compared with Jiang Dai, her movements are much faster.
The mother and daughter worked together, and in a short while most of the pile of potatoes disappeared.Tang Ma asked Tang Han to pack the potatoes in his pocket, and when he saw that the quantity was about the same, he stopped temporarily.Potatoes must be sown immediately after cutting, so as not to drain the water, and the ground has not been prepared in advance, so it needs to be fertilized and sown now. Today, it is estimated that only one piece of land can be planted, and more cutting is not allowed.
When Qin Yu heard the movement and got up with Xiao Ze, work here was over.
A group of people went to the stove, only to find that Jiang Dai had already boiled the water, and even the bowls were ready, waiting for them to come and order noodles.
After breakfast, Tang's father led the cow and set off first.Tang Ma and Tang Han put the potatoes in the basket, and Jiang Dai immediately volunteered to carry a basket.As a result, Tang Han followed behind to carry the basket for her, and she stopped cooking after walking a few steps.
Qin Yu also wanted to help, but was also declined by Tang Han, "The road is not easy, you should carry Xiao Ze on your back."
"Why don't you drive?" Jiang Dai asked in a low voice.
Tang Han said, "Because the place is very close, we can get there in a few steps. This road has not been repaired, and the car can't drive up it. It is too troublesome to take a long detour on the other side." Oil also costs money.
She easily carried the backpack and walked in front, Jiang Dai followed behind her, not without emotion, "Oh, now I finally know how useless I am."
Now there is only an outbreak of the virus, the state organs and social system have not collapsed, and they can still farm here safely.If there is a major natural disaster, or the end of the world described in the novel, Jiang Dai feels that she will not be able to live for three chapters in a state where she can't lift her shoulders.
I have a very clear understanding of myself.
"There is a specialization in surgery." Tang Han comforted her.
Jiang Dai looked at the sky, "To be honest, I actually have a background in finance. What kind of job do you think I can get in here?"
Tang Han: "..." Excuse me, take my leave.
However, she couldn't help but have a huge doubt in her heart: How can someone who is engaged in finance be reduced to a situation where the net worth is only 1000 yuan?What's more, although Jiang Dai said it lightly, Tang Han is sure that she must be one of the best in her own industry.
It's really heartfelt...
From the Tang family to the land they are going to
, all the way is climbing.And as Tang Han said before, this road has not been well repaired, and it can fully deserve the word "rough and uneven".
Jiang Dai walked beside Tang Han empty-handed, she couldn't help panting, but when she turned her head and saw that she was only short of breath, she was immediately in awe.
Fortunately, the place is really close. After climbing the slope, when they reached the top of the slope, Jiang Dai saw that Tang's father had harnessed the ox and was plowing the field.
This field was overturned once in winter, and now it is only necessary to get out of the furrows to plant potatoes, so Father Tang moved very quickly, holding the plow back and forth in the field, and plowed out a small piece of land in a short while.
Tang Ma and Tang Han put down their baskets and separated the potatoes with a dustpan and a basket.
Seeing this, Jiang Dai quickly asked, "Auntie, what should I do? Find something for me to do, or I'll be embarrassed to eat."
"Then put the potatoes." Tang Ma looked left and right, thinking that this should be the only job she could do.Others, such as throwing ash and fertilizing, are even more unsuitable.So when she spoke again, her tone became more determined, "You and Qin Yu put potatoes."
The job assigned by Tang Han was to spread a layer of ash in the ditch first.The ashes are the straw vacated in winter, the firewood cut down by the roadside, and some messy things. It is also a kind of fertilizer. Because it is mild enough, potatoes can be put directly on it.
The only technical content of throwing potatoes is that the spacing must be careful. Each piece of potato is about an arm's length away, leaving room for them to grow.After all, new potatoes will grow in the soil in the future.The biggest difficulty is that in order to keep the distance steady, you must bend down and put the potatoes on it gently.
It is a huge test for the waist.
But Ozawa likes this job, and his height is just right, and he doesn't even have to bend his waist, which saves Qin Yu a lot of trouble.And because Tang Han was alone, Qin Yu and Jiang Dai could take turns to rest, but they barely persevered.
Tang's mother's job is to fertilize the back, and Tang's father will come to help after plowing the field.
What is applied is not chemical fertilizers, but farmyard manure piled up in the soil in advance to ferment.As for chemical fertilizers, they will not be applied until the potatoes emerge to weed.And this year's situation, I don't know if I can buy new fertilizers. Although the Tang family still has more than a dozen bags of fertilizers left over from last year, they still need to grow corn and other things in the future, so they have to save them.
From dawn to dusk, this piece of land was finally planted.The last step was completed by Tang's father leading the ox. He used the plow to turn the soil on both sides to cover the manure and potatoes, and just formed the shape of a furrow.
After a busy day, Jiang Dai's current image is quite embarrassing. She didn't care about being dirty, so she sat down on the ridge, rested for a while, and then asked Tang Han, "Why use cattle? Why don't you buy that kind of cultivated land?" small machine?"
Compared with animal power, although machines also need to be controlled by humans, they can still save a lot of trouble.Even links such as sowing and fertilizing can be undertaken together.
Tang Han shrugged, "I tried it before, it didn't work."
She kicked a couple of random kicks in the ground in front of her, and kicked out a stone the size of a ping-pong ball, "We are in a mountainous area, and the ground is full of gravel. useless."
"Look over there." Tang Han pointed to the ridge on the other side again, "Did you see that low stone wall? Those stones were all picked out from the ground."
In fact, every winter when digging through the frozen ground, Mama Tang would pick up the stones in the ground with a dustpan.But every year they pick it up, there are still stones in the field every year.Year by year, the low wall is getting higher and higher.
Jiang Dai nodded thoughtfully, looked at it for a while, stretched out her hand and pointed at the ground, "Why do I feel that the distance between the two ridges is a bit too wide?" If calculated according to the scientific planting distance, the vertical and horizontal They should be about the same, there is no need to be so far apart.
"Bingo! Congratulations, you are right, but there is no reward." Tang Han said, "Because the field will be interplanted with corn later, so we have to reserve space first."
She really believed that Jiang Dai wanted to live and work here in peace and contentment, otherwise she wouldn't be interested in everything and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
But obviously, the difficulty is still great.
After a tiring day, when he returned home, Tang Han couldn't wait to take a bath.After changing clothes and coming out, I felt refreshed.
She brought a change of clothes by herself, but of course it was not enough.So I started wearing Tang Han's clothes a long time ago.Even the outfit I wore to the ground today.As for Qin Yu, he was wearing Tang's father's clothes, and they put away their own clothes so as not to waste them in the field.
Even Ozawa and Tang's mother found some clothes that Tang Han and sisters wore when they were young.
Although they are girls' clothes, they are all plain in fabrics and patterns, and tend to be neutral.Ozawa is only three years old, so he doesn't shy away from these things.
To say that the quality of the clothes is really good, after so many years, it has not been affected at all.But what shocked Tang Han even more was that Tang Ma kept these things away.She also thought that when the old house was overthrown to build a new one last time, it should be almost lost.
But loving to keep things is not all bad. For example, if it weren't for Tang's mother's hobby, how could they stay so peacefully?Although the family is self-sufficient in many things and has enough food, things like salt still have to be bought outside.However, Tang's mother hoards a sack of salt every year, which is totally worthwhile.
Tang Han hasn't been at home for so many years, so the clothes left at home are naturally worn when he was a student.
When she was in college, she once liked brightly colored clothes, such as red, yellow and green, and the design was also cute and academic.Wearing these clothes on Jiang Dai, they should not match her temperament at all, but they have a completely different charm.
I feel that she is much younger and more lively.
Especially after she was tired all day, she could no longer maintain her usual upright and upright posture. She was lying softly on the sofa, and she seemed to lose that sharp temperament and aggression, and her facial features became much more distinct. The appearance seems to have also risen several Levels.
Everyone lined up to take a shower, and dinner was just cooked.Tang Han washed the cabbage, and Tang Ma took out the frozen meat and fried tofu slices from the refrigerator and cut them up. Put the lard in the pot and melt it, sauté the shallots, ginger and garlic, add the sour soup and bring to a boil, then throw in a few frozen tomatoes, It's just a pot of clear soup.
Tang Ma cooked the sliced meat, tofu and vegetables in the pan, and announced that the meal was ready.
The soup smelled delicious, and the clear soup would never be greasy, but Jiang Dai lay still on the sofa, feeling overtired and had no appetite at all.On the contrary, Qin Zezhi, who was also tired all day, completely changed his habit of not eating well and just thinking about eating snacks. He ate a whole bowl of rice and even added a bowl of soup.
"Xiao Jiang, can you eat a little?" Tang's mother advised her.
Jiang Dai looked at it twice, and really didn't want to eat, so she said, "I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat first."
Tang Han observed for a long time, and determined that she was just not looking well, she must be tired, so he said, "Let her rest for a while, she might be hungry when she recovers."
However, she felt that it was one thing to have no appetite, and the dishes tonight probably did not appeal much to Jiang Dai.Tang Han thought for a while and asked Tang Ma, "Mom, the sauerkraut you made last time should be almost the same?"
"It's been more than ten days, it should be about the same." Tang Ma said.
"Then let's make sauerkraut soup, that appetizing and refreshing." Tang Han stood up as he said, "I'll cut two potatoes and put them in as a side dish."
Sauerkraut was originally
It is boiled, and then soaked in the brine where the tofu is ordered, and marinated. After washing, it only needs to be boiled on the stove, and it can be eaten directly.Sour and appetizing, just smelling the aroma that permeates the air can shake people's spirits.
Thinly sliced potatoes are boiled in sour soup, the taste is crunchy and has a unique flavor.
"Use this soup to make you a bowl of rice, is it okay?" Tang Han asked Jiang Dai.
Jiang Dai hesitated for a moment, she didn't know if the sauerkraut was to her liking, or she couldn't bear to watch other people around her, so she finally nodded.
But it turns out that Su’s sour soup with rice is really appetizing. After Jiang Dai took the first bite, her stomach that refused everything seemed to wake up all of a sudden.After eating a bowl of rice, there is still something unfinished.Seeing this, Tang Han said, "Simmer a pot of beans and rice tonight, and eat pickled cabbage and beans and rice tomorrow."
It stands to reason that I have been busy recently, so I should eat something rich in oil and water.But I ate enough a year ago, so it's good to change the taste now.
After eating, Jiang Dai didn't stay by the stove, and went straight to bed.
Tang Han washed the dishes, washed out the beans and rice, put them on the stove to simmer, and then went back to the room. ——Although she seems to be able to handle it with ease, after all, she hasn't been so tired for a long time. In fact, her body is a bit too much, so she needs to rest more.
Jiang Dai hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was reading that "Dream of Red Mansions" again.
Tang Han was a little surprised, "I'm so tired today, why don't you go to sleep?"
"Can't sleep." Jiang Dai was in front of her, but she didn't grit her teeth to hold on. "I feel my heart beating very fast, and my whole body is sore and painful. And look at me," she stretched out her hand and handed it to Tang Han, so that she could sleep. see clearly.This hand has been shaking slightly, which is obviously a sequela of excessive force.
"Thank you." Tang Han shook the hand.
Jiang Dai was worried, "Just sleep like this, let alone work tomorrow, I guess I won't be able to get up directly."
That's too embarrassing.
"Let me press it for you?" Tang Han suggested.
Jiang Dai seemed to be waiting for her words. Immediately after hearing the words, she closed the book in her hand and said politely, "Then I will trouble you."
Although Tang Han's massage is from Ye Luzi, she has experience and knows where the muscles are most sore and need to be relaxed at this time, so she can always pinpoint the key points.Jiang Dai gritted her teeth and endured it at first, not being able to make any indecent noises, and she couldn't care less about it after a while.
Lying on the pillow, she felt her body completely relaxed, tiredness and drowsiness surged up, and she fell into a half-dream and half-awake chaos for a moment.
It seems to be so confused, and then open
When I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning.
Jiang Dai sat up from the bed and tried to move her arms and legs. Although she still had a little pain, it didn't affect her movements at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
It is rare for her to get up later than Tang Han today. When she went out, she saw Qin Yu who also got up late today and didn't go out for a run at all. Jiang Dai couldn't help but think of herself before the Chinese New Year.At that time, she was still worried about eating too much every day and gaining weight on her body, and she was going to go out for morning exercises after the new year was warmer.
Thinking about it now, it's really too young too simple.
With such high-intensity farm work every day, where is the need for extra exercise?It's no wonder that I occasionally meet people in the village, but I hardly see a few fat people.It's not that their hearts are not broad enough, it's just that their daily consumption is too large, and fat cannot accumulate.
I don't know if she saw her and Qin Yu's powerlessness, Tang Ma didn't cut potatoes this morning.But Jiang Dai knew that there were still several plots of land ready to grow potatoes, so it was impossible to change her mind suddenly.
It is estimated that they want to let them rest and take it easy.
But there are other things to do at home.After breakfast, Tang's father led the cow and went out with the plow on his shoulders, while Tang's mother stayed at home with the others, preparing to build a warm shed.
It is said to be a "shed", but it is actually only half the height of a person.Put two thick logs in parallel in the yard, spread plastic film in the middle, block the two ends, then use wooden sticks to form triangles along the two sides, and finally cover the plastic film to seal it up, a simple warm house The shed is complete.Add water to it, and then dissolve the fertilizer in the water, and the foundation is ready.
But it is impossible to plant vegetables directly in the water, so a foam floating tray that can float on the water is also needed.
The floating plate is ready-made, divided into small grids one by one, and the bottom is hollowed out.Mix fertilizer and substrate with plant ash, fill the grid in the floating tray, sprinkle rapeseed on it, sieve a little soil to cover, and then send it directly into the greenhouse.
Because the temperature inside is high enough, it takes a few days for seedlings to germinate.At that time, they will be planted in the yard. After two or three months, there will be new Chinese cabbage to eat.
Compared with yesterday, today's labor intensity is simply drizzle.
Jiang Dai squatted on the ground and sprinkled seeds on the floating tray.Only two or three seeds can be sprinkled in a small grid, but the seeds of cabbage are smaller than sesame seeds, and there are about a dozen seeds in a twist, and more will be placed from time to time, so we must be careful.This job unexpectedly suits the patient Jiang Dai.
While sprinkling, she said, "I thought it would be enough to just plant the seeds in the ground, but it's so troublesome."
"Planted directly in the ground
Of course, it is also possible, but in this case, the quality of the vegetable seedlings will be better and the survival rate will be higher. "Tang Han explained, "And if you plant it in the ground, the vegetables will grow, and the grass will also grow, which will take away a lot of nutrients. It is better to cultivate the vegetable seedlings first. "
"Is it the same for other species?" Jiang Dai drew inferences.
Tang Han said, "It will be the same when planting corn in the future. Grow seedlings before planting, otherwise the seeds planted will be picked out by birds and mountain mice and eaten."
"!!" Jiang Dai opened her eyes wide.
Tang Han said again, "Actually, there are plastic films and floating trays now, which are much more convenient. When I was young, I always made nutrition bags first when planting corn. A plastic bag in the shape of a ring must first be placed on a jagged On the tool, stretch the bag open, fill it with soil, and then pull out the tool. Not to mention time-consuming and laborious, if you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted."
The progress and changes of the times are sometimes not only reflected in those big aspects, but also in such silent details.
After taking a day off, I started planting potatoes again the next day.
In fact, it was too late at this time. Some families in the village planted potatoes before the Chinese New Year.Covered with thick soil, as long as there are no seedlings, there is no need to worry about being damaged by snow.On the contrary, after the snow water melts, it can help the potatoes emerge as soon as possible.
But now, the potatoes must be planted before the spring rains.Otherwise, if it rains, the ground will be muddy, not to mention inconvenient to operate, and you may miss the season.
In the first two days, Qin Yu and Jiang Dai were still not used to it, and every day they were so tired that they wanted to lie down when they went home.But human beings are always very adaptable, as long as they are not tossed down, they will gradually adapt.Later, when they returned home after a busy day, they still thought about what to have for dinner and changed the menu.
When it comes to menus, no
