Today it was Mrs. Yao's turn to cook. She looked at the handful of tender sprouts in Fang Tianlin's hands, her eyes twitched a few times, and she asked uncertainly, "Are these used for cooking?"
"Ah."
Mrs. Yao has nothing to say, the third sibling's actions often do not follow the rules, but they often achieve miraculous results.She took the handful of young cabbage seedlings that were so tender that water could be squeezed out, her eyes were full of distress, and she would eat them after they grew up, wouldn't they be able to eat many meals?It's a pity that it was a disaster at such a young age.It happened that the father-in-law had spoken, and the three younger siblings were tossing about the vegetable field by themselves, and as a sister-in-law, she couldn't just help him make up his mind.
It is still some days before most of the vegetables are on the market, and wild vegetables account for a large part of the dishes that the Shen family eats.Normally, they had very few chances to eat vegetable seedlings, but this time it was thanks to Fang Tianlin's blessing.Auntie Yao made a little thought, she put enough oil and salt, she wanted to see how good the taste of this kind of vegetable seedlings could be.
As a result, a plate of vegetarian fried cabbage and a pot of cabbage soup bottomed out first.
After eating, Shen Mai, who was six years old this year, ran to Fang Tianlin, licked his lips eagerly, and asked, "Third Aunt, when will we be able to eat cabbage seedlings again?"
"There are still many more, just tonight." Fang Tianlin said lightly.The taste of the cabbage that is completely watered by space water is better than ordinary ones, but not so much that it makes people feel abnormal when they eat it.The reason why the Shen family reacted so strongly was not entirely due to the spatial water.How can farmers pick vegetable seedlings to eat?Young sprouts taste better than mature ones, and Mrs. Yao has put in extra effort. When the three aspects are added together, the taste naturally compares to other dishes.
Everyone at the scene heard the conversation between Fang Tianlin and Shen Mai, a senior and a junior, and they were all silent.It's really a luxury to leave this matter in the farmhouse. If it were a year ago, whoever dared to do this would be fine if he was cut off by the two elders.Now, isn't life easier, and it's not impossible to waste a bit, just treat it as a reward for everyone.Looking at their children and grandchildren who were eating happily, the two elders almost thought so.
This really should be a sentence, the world is fickle.Many times, people never imagine what kind of life they will live in the future.
Most of the Shen family's backyard is a vegetable garden. In order to prevent the chickens from harming the vegetables, a fence is built around the place where the chickens are raised and the vegetable garden.Now that there are more chickens, the space for activities suddenly becomes narrower.
Fortunately, farm chickens are all free-range, and it is rare to see captive chickens, and the same is true for the Shen family, so there is no need to worry about this.
In order to facilitate entry and exit, the Shen family opened a small door on the backyard wall.The chickens are released from here in the early morning, and they are driven back to the chicken coop at dusk, and the cycle repeats itself, without the need for people to take special care of them. Chickens are rarely lost.But that was the situation when the chickens were young. If there are hundreds of chickens raised, it's hard to say if anyone is jealous.
Fortunately, they are all chicks now, so they don't need to be released. Fang Tianlin doesn't need to worry about this for the time being.Of course, this situation is only temporary. If his idea can be realized, it will definitely have to be expanded in the future, and it is obviously not suitable to keep it at home.If it doesn't work, then there is nothing else to say, he will give up decisively.
Fang Tianlin had never raised chickens before, and only learned a little after he came to Guangyan Village.Except that he knows that any livestock should be disinfected and cleaned frequently, no one else knows much. He can only rely on the efficacy of space water. As for whether it will be successful, he does not dare to pat his chest with 100% guarantee.
When there are too many chickens, they are prone to diseases.There are triplets at home, Fang Tianlin is afraid of infecting his sons, so every time he cleans the chicken coop, he will clean his body, and take his clothes to the pier for washing.Nothing is more important than your own children, everything must make way for them.In fact, he can't do without washing.The children have a keen sense of smell. As long as he has a strange smell on his body, he will be disgusted by his own children. Even the eldest son, who has always been indifferent to everything, is not very willing to let him touch it.
Now that there is not much farm work, Shen Jiahe suddenly relaxes.Weaving straw sandals and rattan baskets is time-consuming and does not make much money, so he often takes care of cleaning the chicken coop.
Fang Tianlin didn't refuse, he thought it was good, the two of them each shared some, knowing that they love each other, the relationship will be more lasting and stronger.If only one party pays, such a relationship is too fragile, and Fang Tianlin is not willing to see it.He didn't want Shen Jiahe to be tired, nor did he want to see him like a master who even had to bring water for washing his feet.
Shen Jiahe can adapt to other things, but his daughter-in-law loves to be clean, which makes him a little entangled.His family is a big water user in the Shen family, and they have to go to the Shahe River to fetch water almost every day, so it is easier now that they have a cart.If it was left in the past, such a water method would take a lot of time just to carry water.
Of course, doing so is not without benefits, Shenjiahe is clean every day, and the whole person feels much refreshed.After tasting the sweetness, he can only agree, how can he object?
Fang Tianlin used to be scruples. After all, fetching water from the Shahe River was a physical effort. Since Shen's family got a two-wheel scooter, he let go of his hands and feet.
Such a big movement in the Shen family naturally attracted the attention of the villagers, and within two days, almost everyone knew about it.The idea that it is difficult to raise livestock on a large scale has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the same rice raises all kinds of people, and everyone’s ideas are not exactly the same. Some people agree to support.If they can't raise them well, others may not be able to raise them well, but these people also understand in their hearts that it is not so easy to raise their sincerity well.
After Third Aunt Wen found out, she immediately approached Mrs. Zhang: "Second sister-in-law, why did you suddenly think of raising so many chickens?"
Raising chickens is easy to say, the quantity is small, and it can be said that even the cost is basically negligible, but if the quantity increases, it is definitely not enough to rely on them to find food on their own. Some food has to be fed.In this way, if the number of chickens dies too much, it may be difficult to even pay back.If not, who wouldn't try it?
Of course, Mrs. Zhang would not just tell the truth. She thought of an excuse and said with a smile: "There is not enough rain this year, and the harvest in the field is uncertain. I think that although daughters-in-law have a lot of work, they still have a lot of free time At that time, I told them to each raise some chickens, and all the chickens would be owned by them except for the part of the public. No, everyone’s interest was raised. But I didn’t expect that the third daughter-in-law would come so As soon as it came out, hundreds of them were raised in one breath."
When Third Aunt Wen heard this, she also thought about it, and then denied the plan.There is no turning back when you open the bow. As long as you open this hole, the daughters-in-law in the family will have their own selfishness. This heart is not in harmony, and we can't live together again. It is not worth ignoring the possible bad effects for such a small profit. .
When Third Aunt Wen shared her thoughts with Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was able to think about it: "It's really hard to say whether we can still be together. However, the old man and I are not too young. If we really can't get along again, then Just find an opportunity to separate."
Aunt Wen was surprised: "You really think so?"
"Well. It will be a few years, and it will be very disadvantageous to be a corvee after the separation." Mrs. Zhang wants to live like this for the rest of her life, but she also knows that this is impossible. Even if her son and daughter-in-law have no intention of separating, she And the old man will also say this.
If the sons and daughters-in-law are all grandpas and grandpas, and they are still begging for a living under their hands, they will feel sad just looking at it.If they were lucky enough to live to their seventies and eighties, wouldn't the son even have the chance to be the master of the family?This life has been a bit of a disadvantage, and she is not a stepmother, how can she treat her son like this.
After coming out of the second sister-in-law's house, Third Aunt Wen also began to think about separating the family, but she was a few years younger than Granny Zhang, and separating the family was not in her consideration at all. As soon as she thought of it, she threw it out of her mind.It's still early, let's talk about it later.
After confirming that space water has a weak effect on plants, Fang Tianlin expanded the planting scale.He found some tattered pots and jars from his home, and placed them in a long row like planting flowers on the verandah against the wall.
This is really new, there happened to be a family in Guangyan Village that grows and sells flowers, but it was the first time the villagers saw someone who grew grain and vegetables as flowers.There are a lot of people walking from door to door in the farming family, and the Shen family is not the kind of people who are not very talkative. People come to the door every day. When everyone first meets, they have to ask about this, and the Shen family's answer is sour. .
Such a trivial matter was used as a topic of conversation by the villagers, and it was circulated in the village for a while.
Since last year, there have been many topics about the Shen family in Guangyan Village.First, Shen Jiahe, who was unable to marry a wife, finally embraced a wife last year, followed by the arrival of triplets, which made the villagers envious, and then raised chickens and used vegetables as flowers, and there was no rest .
Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang were also full of helplessness for the third daughter-in-law who wanted to come out.What does that make them say?They agreed to raising chickens, so there was nothing to talk about, and there was nothing to talk about about growing vegetables. He planted whatever he liked, but he didn't plant them in the ground, he just planted them in pots and jars.Flowers can be grown, why can't vegetables be grown?The third daughter-in-law has a flexible mind and dares to think that others can't.It can only be said that the villagers are ignorant of such a trivial matter that caused a commotion in the village.
But having said that, the two elders have never seen this before, and this is very new.They wanted to see what tricks the third daughter-in-law could come up with.
What Fang Tianlin planted this time is very purposeful.What the family eats is meat oil, and I don't often buy it. Now it is much better than when he first came here last year, so we still have to save it, and there is no vegetable oil at all.It's not that Jingchao didn't have vegetable oil, but that all the oil and water in the farmer's house were insufficient, so they had to choose meat oil first.Besides, vegetable oil is not at all cheaper than meat oil, and many of them are even more expensive.
Fang Tianlin planted a few pots of beans to save the seeds.He also deliberately found a few pots with undamaged bottoms to grow rice, and he specially asked Father Shen to go to the town to buy these seeds.In the past year, apart from the taste of rice when he was recuperating in Canglin County, he ate pancakes every day and missed the taste of rice very much.If it weren't for him not being so picky about food, and his taste suddenly changed forcibly, it would be strange if he didn't lose weight. How could his body be as strong as it is now?
In addition, he also planted a lot of miscellaneous things such as cotton, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and placed a row of pots against the wall. The scene was really spectacular.The children in the family were told not to spoil the third aunt's hard work. Except for Shen He who was still young and needed someone to watch, none of the other children were so itchy and used these as toys.
"Third Aunt, another chick is lying on the ground." Shen Mai ran all the way over, his face was covered with sweat, and his little face was wrinkled into a ball.He was six years old this year, and he felt a little sad knowing that the chick was probably hopeless.This is the sixth chick in this month. He still remembers what the third aunt said, when the chick grows up, each child in the family will get one, whether it is for them to raise and sell themselves, or kill and eat , follow them.
Ever since Fang Tianlin casually made this promise, all the nephews and nieces have treated these chickens as treasures. Even Shen Song, who is 13 years old this year, will look at them when he thinks about it.Other children would catch worms to feed them as long as they were free, and occasionally ran to the side of the chicken coop to play.When they grow up, they can be released, and whenever they have free time, they will go to see them, for fear of being harmed by someone.
Fang Tianlin didn't expect that such a light word from him would make the children pay so much attention to it.He did not perfunctory them, he spoke the truth.This time it was just a trial breeding, and he didn't naively think that he could make a fortune with this amount.Even if a hundred chickens grow up safely, after deducting the cost, it would be enough to earn two taels of silver.In his opinion, selling chickens is not as cost-effective as selling eggs. Of course, this is the case when the frequency of laying eggs is high.
In this regard, Fang Tianlin does not have much hope.Look, it's only been a month, and the sixth chick is dying. When the chicken is ready to lay eggs, it's unknown how many chickens will survive.
Just compared with the ones raised by sister-in-law and younger siblings, the death rate is not high at all.The other three raised the same number of chickens, and each family bought ten chickens.The eldest sister-in-law took care of the best, and only one died during this period, and the second sister-in-law and fourth siblings each died two.Fang Tianlin killed only five or six out of a hundred, which made everyone else envious.
The death rate of chickens is different at different stages of raising chickens. The young chickens are the most likely to die. After they grow up, except for chicken plague, the mortality rate is greatly reduced. As long as they survive the first two months, the number can roughly stabilize.Calculated according to the current death rate, if there are no accidents, Fang Tianlin's one hundred chicks may survive seventy or eighty chicks. If luck is better, eighty or ninety chicks may survive.No matter what the situation is, it is a steady profit.
This kind of thing still depends on personal talent, not envy.Seeing that Fang Tianlin raised the chickens well, Mrs. Yao and the others watched carefully for a while, and found that Fang Tianlin took care of the chicks just like them, and there was no difference, so she stopped paying attention to the chickens.
As soon as Fang Tianlin heard Shen Mai's words, he immediately carried the triplets to the main room, let Mrs. Zhang take care of them, and went to the backyard by himself.
The chickens with problems must be dealt with in time, otherwise the loss of other intact chickens will be great.
When Fang Tianlin arrived at the chicken coop, the chicken was dead and stiff.The first time it was raw and the second time it was cooked, he immediately took it to a distance and burned it, then buried it in the soil, and then cleaned the inside and outside of the chicken coop, trying to minimize the possible impact.
After finishing all this, Fang Tianlin took care of himself in a hurry and went out with the cart.No one in the Shen family is as extravagant with water as he is. After touching the sick chickens, they have to scrub and wash them after cleaning the chicken coop. In addition, it is hot today and they have to wash when they are sweating. One piece, even need to be washed several times a day.
Thanks to Fang Tianlin's strong body, he didn't have to ask Shen Jiahe to help him pick it every time, otherwise the two elders might have a problem.They have never seen a daughter-in-law who is so particular about it, especially in places like Guangyan Village where clean water is relatively scarce, and they can save as much as possible.
You know, Shahe is not close to Guangyan Village, and going back and forth would cost at least two sticks of incense. According to Fang Tianlin's water method, going to Shahe to carry water in one day is enough trouble, and no one wants to do it. .
Fang Tianlin is also very helpless, he has water space, but he can't use it out of thin air blatantly, it has to be concealed.Before raising chickens, he didn't pay much attention to his own cleanliness. No matter how hot he was, he would only wipe his body with a damp cloth during the day, and only went to the sand river to wash at night.Only when I really can't bear it, I will go to Shahe to cool down with water in broad daylight.
The water in the Shahe River is relatively turbid, and it must wait for a period of time before it can be used after it is cleared.As for the water at Qingshuibutou, he wanted to use it, but with so many eyes watching him, he didn't have the cheek to take it at will. After all, it was spent by the village, and it was purified with medicine every once in a while. Enough clean water for the villagers to use.
There are two clear water pools, the big one is used for rinsing clean clothes, and the small one is used for washing vegetables. It is really only limited to food and vegetables, and even meat is not allowed to be washed here. How can it be used.
After arriving at the Shahe River, Fang Tianlin first went to Qingshui Pier to fetch a bucket of clean water, while the others could only fetch untreated Shahe water.
Seeing that the water in the Shahe River was not even waist deep, Fang Tianlin's eyes darkened.Soon it will be the summer harvest, and there have been a few light rains for a while, and the ground is moist, which temporarily saves the villagers from the hard work of carrying water to irrigate the fields, but if they are left to be exposed to the scorching sun, there will be such a day sooner or later.What's more troublesome is that if there is no heavy rain, the water in the Shahe River will soon bottom out, and there will be no place to use your physical strength by then.
Last year, around this time, days of torrential rains caused the Shahe River to swell, almost overflowing its embankment.It's hard to say this year, a heavy rain will immediately change the current situation, but no one knows whether it will be possible to wait for the rain that everyone is looking forward to.
After a trip to Shahe, Fang Tianlin's body was sticky and greasy. Luckily, he had expected this a long time ago. He only wiped his sweat a little before, otherwise he would wash it twice in a row. Not to mention other people, even Fang Tianlin himself would find it troublesome.
With the last bit of water at the bottom of the tank to clean himself, Fang Tianlin came to the main room to see the children.Now the triplets have crawled very quickly. If the children were not smart enough to know that they would be punished if they climbed out of the mat, they would only spin around inside the mat. Judging from their current crawling speed, they might be gone in a blink of an eye. Shadow, how can a person see it?
Fang Tianlin looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. The eldest son closed his eyes, and he was lying on the back of the second son. The second son was slowly crawling forward like a turtle shell, and the third son was sitting beside him. He stared intently at the two elder brothers, and opened his small mouth slightly, as if cheering for the elder brothers.
Seeing the third daughter-in-law coming, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "These three children really know how to play. I have never seen them like this."
Fang Tianlin grinned slightly, what could he say?Can only laugh at the children playing.
With great difficulty, Shen Zhang climbed to the other side of the mat with Shen Bi on his back, and suddenly his whole body lost all strength, and his whole body was stretched out in a large font on it.Shen Bi opened his eyes and saw the place, he rubbed on his second younger brother's back for a while before climbing down.After the two brothers chattered for a while, Shen Bi turned his head away, and Shen Zhang suddenly became full of energy, his hands and feet were no longer sore, and he climbed onto Shen Bi's back in two or three times, so happy that he could hardly see the opening of his eyes , and raised his head to greet Shen Huang who was sitting on the other side.
Fang Tianlin's face became stiff with a smile. The mother-in-law didn't think about it. She probably thought that he and Shen Jiahe taught them to play like this, especially him. Anyway, he did a lot of unexpected things this year. The children were beaten by him. It's not impossible to play like this.This really wronged him. Who would teach children to play these tricks when they were so young?
But Fang Tianlin couldn't say anything, and when others asked him, he had to take the matter on himself.It seems that the education of the triplets needs to be strengthened. He thought they would not go wrong, so why would he give him such a fix now, how can this make him feel at ease?
Now that the children are playing, Fang Tianlin will not speak out to stop it.Seeing the eldest son carrying the second son on his back and still crawling relatively easily, Fang Tianlin could only sigh.
Among the three children, the eldest son is the most developed, with the most powerful hands and feet, and his brain is also extremely sensitive. The second son is the second best in health. The youngest son is obviously worse than the first two in terms of physical fitness. Compared to other children of the same age, it is not inferior at all, even better.If physical strength is insufficient, intelligence is used to make up for it, which is well reflected in Shen Huang.
Like the game in front of me, the youngest son can't play it at all. No matter which brother is carrying him, he probably has to get down immediately.He's also very self-aware and doesn't get involved.
After standing for a while, seeing the children resting on the mat after playing tired, Fang Tianlin went back to the room to get a wet cloth towel, wiped off the sweat of the three children, and changed into a small set of clothes for Shen Bi and Shen Zhang.
Shen Zhang had seen Fang Tianlin a long time ago, had fun with his brother before, and had no time to do it, now that he had nothing to do, he immediately took advantage of the convenience of just finishing changing his clothes, and stretched out his hands for Fang Tianlin to hug.
Fang Tianlin hugged him in his arms easily, and now the children can sit steadily, and it's okay to hold him upright.Shen Zhang especially likes the sudden elevation of his field of vision. Every time he is hugged by adults like this, he gets very excited, babbling, not knowing what to say.
"Ah."
Mrs. Yao has nothing to say, the third sibling's actions often do not follow the rules, but they often achieve miraculous results.She took the handful of young cabbage seedlings that were so tender that water could be squeezed out, her eyes were full of distress, and she would eat them after they grew up, wouldn't they be able to eat many meals?It's a pity that it was a disaster at such a young age.It happened that the father-in-law had spoken, and the three younger siblings were tossing about the vegetable field by themselves, and as a sister-in-law, she couldn't just help him make up his mind.

Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang were also full of helplessness for the third daughter-in-law who wanted to come out.What does that make them say?They agreed to raising chickens, so there was nothing to talk about, and there was nothing to talk about about growing vegetables. He planted whatever he liked, but he didn't plant them in the ground, he just planted them in pots and jars.Flowers can be grown, why can't vegetables be grown?The third daughter-in-law has a flexible mind and dares to think that others can't.It can only be said that the villagers are ignorant of such a trivial matter that caused a commotion in the village.
But having said that, the two elders have never seen this before, and this is very new.They wanted to see what tricks the third daughter-in-law could come up with.
What Fang Tianlin planted this time is very purposeful.What the family eats is meat oil, and I don't often buy it. Now it is much better than when he first came here last year, so we still have to save it, and there is no vegetable oil at all.It's not that Jingchao didn't have vegetable oil, but that all the oil and water in the farmer's house were insufficient, so they had to choose meat oil first.Besides, vegetable oil is not at all cheaper than meat oil, and many of them are even more expensive.
Fang Tianlin planted a few pots of beans to save the seeds.He also deliberately found a few pots with undamaged bottoms to grow rice, and he specially asked Father Shen to go to the town to buy these seeds.In the past year, apart from the taste of rice when he was recuperating in Canglin County, he ate pancakes every day and missed the taste of rice very much.If it weren't for him not being so picky about food, and his taste suddenly changed forcibly, it would be strange if he didn't lose weight. How could his body be as strong as it is now?
In addition, he also planted a lot of miscellaneous things such as cotton, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and placed a row of pots against the wall. The scene was really spectacular.The children in the family were told not to spoil the third aunt's hard work. Except for Shen He who was still young and needed someone to watch, none of the other children were so itchy and used these as toys.
"Third Aunt, another chick is lying on the ground." Shen Mai ran all the way over, his face was covered with sweat, and his little face was wrinkled into a ball.He was six years old this year, and he felt a little sad knowing that the chick was probably hopeless.This is the sixth chick in this month. He still remembers what the third aunt said, when the chick grows up, each child in the family will get one, whether it is for them to raise and sell themselves, or kill and eat , follow them.
Ever since Fang Tianlin casually made this promise, all the nephews and nieces have treated these chickens as treasures. Even Shen Song, who is 13 years old this year, will look at them when he thinks about it.Other children would catch worms to feed them as long as they were free, and occasionally ran to the side of the chicken coop to play.When they grow up, they can be released, and whenever they have free time, they will go to see them, for fear of being harmed by someone.
Fang Tianlin didn't expect that such a light word from him would make the children pay so much attention to it.He did not perfunctory them, he spoke the truth.This time it was just a trial breeding, and he didn't naively think that he could make a fortune with this amount.Even if a hundred chickens grow up safely, after deducting the cost, it would be enough to earn two taels of silver.In his opinion, selling chickens is not as cost-effective as selling eggs. Of course, this is the case when the frequency of laying eggs is high.
In this regard, Fang Tianlin does not have much hope.Look, it's only been a month, and the sixth chick is dying. When the chicken is ready to lay eggs, it's unknown how many chickens will survive.
Just compared with the ones raised by sister-in-law and younger siblings, the death rate is not high at all.The other three raised the same number of chickens, and each family bought ten chickens.The eldest sister-in-law took care of the best, and only one died during this period, and the second sister-in-law and fourth siblings each died two.Fang Tianlin killed only five or six out of a hundred, which made everyone else envious.
The death rate of chickens is different at different stages of raising chickens. The young chickens are the most likely to die. After they grow up, except for chicken plague, the mortality rate is greatly reduced. As long as they survive the first two months, the number can roughly stabilize.Calculated according to the current death rate, if there are no accidents, Fang Tianlin's one hundred chicks may survive seventy or eighty chicks. If luck is better, eighty or ninety chicks may survive.No matter what the situation is, it is a steady profit.
This kind of thing still depends on personal talent, not envy.Seeing that Fang Tianlin raised the chickens well, Mrs. Yao and the others watched carefully for a while, and found that Fang Tianlin took care of the chicks just like them, and there was no difference, so she stopped paying attention to the chickens.
As soon as Fang Tianlin heard Shen Mai's words, he immediately carried the triplets to the main room, let Mrs. Zhang take care of them, and went to the backyard by himself.
The chickens with problems must be dealt with in time, otherwise the loss of other intact chickens will be great.
When Fang Tianlin arrived at the chicken coop, the chicken was dead and stiff.The first time it was raw and the second time it was cooked, he immediately took it to a distance and burned it, then buried it in the soil, and then cleaned the inside and outside of the chicken coop, trying to minimize the possible impact.
After finishing all this, Fang Tianlin took care of himself in a hurry and went out with the cart.No one in the Shen family is as extravagant with water as he is. After touching the sick chickens, they have to scrub and wash them after cleaning the chicken coop. In addition, it is hot today and they have to wash when they are sweating. One piece, even need to be washed several times a day.
Thanks to Fang Tianlin's strong body, he didn't have to ask Shen Jiahe to help him pick it every time, otherwise the two elders might have a problem.They have never seen a daughter-in-law who is so particular about it, especially in places like Guangyan Village where clean water is relatively scarce, and they can save as much as possible.
You know, Shahe is not close to Guangyan Village, and going back and forth would cost at least two sticks of incense. According to Fang Tianlin's water method, going to Shahe to carry water in one day is enough trouble, and no one wants to do it. .
Fang Tianlin is also very helpless, he has water space, but he can't use it out of thin air blatantly, it has to be concealed.Before raising chickens, he didn't pay much attention to his own cleanliness. No matter how hot he was, he would only wipe his body with a damp cloth during the day, and only went to the sand river to wash at night.Only when I really can't bear it, I will go to Shahe to cool down with water in broad daylight.
The water in the Shahe River is relatively turbid, and it must wait for a period of time before it can be used after it is cleared.As for the water at Qingshuibutou, he wanted to use it, but with so many eyes watching him, he didn't have the cheek to take it at will. After all, it was spent by the village, and it was purified with medicine every once in a while. Enough clean water for the villagers to use.
There are two clear water pools, the big one is used for rinsing clean clothes, and the small one is used for washing vegetables. It is really only limited to food and vegetables, and even meat is not allowed to be washed here. How can it be used.
After arriving at the Shahe River, Fang Tianlin first went to Qingshui Pier to fetch a bucket of clean water, while the others could only fetch untreated Shahe water.
Seeing that the water in the Shahe River was not even waist deep, Fang Tianlin's eyes darkened.Soon it will be the summer harvest, and there have been a few light rains for a while, and the ground is moist, which temporarily saves the villagers from the hard work of carrying water to irrigate the fields, but if they are left to be exposed to the scorching sun, there will be such a day sooner or later.What's more troublesome is that if there is no heavy rain, the water in the Shahe River will soon bottom out, and there will be no place to use your physical strength by then.
Last year, around this time, days of torrential rains caused the Shahe River to swell, almost overflowing its embankment.It's hard to say this year, a heavy rain will immediately change the current situation, but no one knows whether it will be possible to wait for the rain that everyone is looking forward to.
After a trip to Shahe, Fang Tianlin's body was sticky and greasy. Luckily, he had expected this a long time ago. He only wiped his sweat a little before, otherwise he would wash it twice in a row. Not to mention other people, even Fang Tianlin himself would find it troublesome.
With the last bit of water at the bottom of the tank to clean himself, Fang Tianlin came to the main room to see the children.Now the triplets have crawled very quickly. If the children were not smart enough to know that they would be punished if they climbed out of the mat, they would only spin around inside the mat. Judging from their current crawling speed, they might be gone in a blink of an eye. Shadow, how can a person see it?
Fang Tianlin looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. The eldest son closed his eyes, and he was lying on the back of the second son. The second son was slowly crawling forward like a turtle shell, and the third son was sitting beside him. He stared intently at the two elder brothers, and opened his small mouth slightly, as if cheering for the elder brothers.
Seeing the third daughter-in-law coming, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "These three children really know how to play. I have never seen them like this."
Fang Tianlin grinned slightly, what could he say?Can only laugh at the children playing.
With great difficulty, Shen Zhang climbed to the other side of the mat with Shen Bi on his back, and suddenly his whole body lost all strength, and his whole body was stretched out in a large font on it.Shen Bi opened his eyes and saw the place, he rubbed on his second younger brother's back for a while before climbing down.After the two brothers chattered for a while, Shen Bi turned his head away, and Shen Zhang suddenly became full of energy, his hands and feet were no longer sore, and he climbed onto Shen Bi's back in two or three times, so happy that he could hardly see the opening of his eyes , and raised his head to greet Shen Huang who was sitting on the other side.
Fang Tianlin's face became stiff with a smile. The mother-in-law didn't think about it. She probably thought that he and Shen Jiahe taught them to play like this, especially him. Anyway, he did a lot of unexpected things this year. The children were beaten by him. It's not impossible to play like this.This really wronged him. Who would teach children to play these tricks when they were so young?
But Fang Tianlin couldn't say anything, and when others asked him, he had to take the matter on himself.It seems that the education of the triplets needs to be strengthened. He thought they would not go wrong, so why would he give him such a fix now, how can this make him feel at ease?
Now that the children are playing, Fang Tianlin will not speak out to stop it.Seeing the eldest son carrying the second son on his back and still crawling relatively easily, Fang Tianlin could only sigh.
Among the three children, the eldest son is the most developed, with the most powerful hands and feet, and his brain is also extremely sensitive. The second son is the second best in health. The youngest son is obviously worse than the first two in terms of physical fitness. Compared to other children of the same age, it is not inferior at all, even better.If physical strength is insufficient, intelligence is used to make up for it, which is well reflected in Shen Huang.
Like the game in front of me, the youngest son can't play it at all. No matter which brother is carrying him, he probably has to get down immediately.He's also very self-aware and doesn't get involved.
After standing for a while, seeing the children resting on the mat after playing tired, Fang Tianlin went back to the room to get a wet cloth towel, wiped off the sweat of the three children, and changed into a small set of clothes for Shen Bi and Shen Zhang.
Shen Zhang had seen Fang Tianlin a long time ago, had fun with his brother before, and had no time to do it, now that he had nothing to do, he immediately took advantage of the convenience of just finishing changing his clothes, and stretched out his hands for Fang Tianlin to hug.
Fang Tianlin hugged him in his arms easily, and now the children can sit steadily, and it's okay to hold him upright.Shen Zhang especially likes the sudden elevation of his field of vision. Every time he is hugged by adults like this, he gets very excited, babbling, not knowing what to say.
