Red House Farm Stay

Chapter 11 Harvest

Jia Zhuo blinked his eyes, Wang Gou'er's silent back looks so handsome at this moment, but Qing'er is nervous, "Our father will be fine, there are many people in the Liu family."

"Don't worry, no matter how many people are in the Liu family, it's their fault first. If the men are unreasonable, they can simply fight. I really think that they won't succeed." Ban'er's expression was very relaxed, which made Qing The son was relieved a lot, and showed him the new pattern embroidered in the afternoon.

"When I finish learning, I'll embroider a piggy veil for my brother." Qing'er said it doesn't matter if he slipped his tongue, but Ban'er's face turned dark when he heard it.

"I'm a big man, what kind of handkerchief do I want?"

"Then embroider it on the clothes." Jia Zhuo interrupted.

After she finished speaking, she realized that Qing'er was talking about embroidered piglets, and when she thought of a piglet embroidered on her clothes, she couldn't help covering her mouth and couldn't stop laughing.

Qing'er also laughed and shook her shoulders, only Ban'er, with an innocent face, scratched her head and stomped her feet, and simply picked up the bucket to fetch water.

After a while, Wang Gou'er came back, followed by the man from the Liu family, still holding a basket of eggs, he put down the eggs and clasped his hands at Grandma Liu, saying: "This is something wrong with our family, we must make up for it. "

Grandma Liu looked at him, her face softened a lot, but she didn't say much, and said "Yes", which was considered to be a response.

"Since it's not worth the loss, let's forget about it. If there is a next time, let's go to the village chief and talk about it." What Wang Gou'er wants is a truth, so that everyone in the same village can hear and see it, so as to save people who don't know , thought that the Wang family had done something bad, and even asked an old woman to knock on the door without daring to respond.

"There will never be a next time." It should be a very firm sentence, but the man of the Liu family said it weakly, probably he also knows his mother-in-law's temperament, and it is impossible to guard against madness.

"Then we won't give it away. You take the eggs back. This is what our Wang family wants, and we don't care about your things." Wang Gou'er put the egg baskets outside the door and closed the door.

From the crack of the door, Jia Zhuo looked at the back of the man from the Liu family who was limping and carrying the eggs back. He was clearly a lonely old man with no one to accompany him.How can it be seen that the mother is still alive, the wife is still alive, and even the head of the family has given birth to three sons.

Within a few days, Qing'er had no time to whisper to Jia Zhuo, "Liu Xiaoyao was kicked out by the matchmaker, and no one in a hundred miles would dare to be a matchmaker for their family."

"Really?" Jia Zhuo looked excited.

"No, the matchmaker said that she would never go to their house again, but she scolded her so hard that Liu Xiaoyao didn't dare to lift her head." Qing'er said while looking around, afraid that someone would break in Go to the vegetable garden and hear them gossip.When the adults in the family talk about these things, they are not allowed to listen to them, let alone imitate them.

Jia Zhuo covered his mouth and laughed, the three aunts and six wives are not easy to provoke, even the matchmakers refuse to come to their house.So what if there are more sons, she will be smashed in the same way.

The two joked for a few days, and went to see the corn that had grown. Qing'er went up to smell the fragrance, and no longer doubted that the food was edible, so he asked Jia Zhuo anxiously, "We have to wait a few more days."

"It's only three to five days." In the last half month of the harvest, fertilization was diligently applied, and the corn cobs grew rapidly, almost every day.

She carefully peeled off one, and saw that the corn kernels inside were full, so she took two and stuffed them into her and Qing'er's mouths respectively.

"Crackling" a sweet taste filled the whole mouth, Qing'er looked at Jia Zhuo in shock.

"This, this, is really delicious."

"Of course, in the future, maybe our family won't have to be hungry in the future." Jia Zhuopin smashed the taste of corn in his mouth, and his heart was filled with happiness.

After five days, Ye Shanshan harvested the first batch of ten corn cobs, cooked six of them, and served them on the table at noon.

"It's really good to serve." Wang Gou'er saw six corns wrapped in layers of green gauze curtains, and smelled a faint fragrance. He has been a farmer for half his life, and he knew it was absolutely edible when he smelled it.

"Don't even mention it, it smells so good." Mrs. Liu sniffed. She had always been indifferent to the corn planted by Jia Zhuo. I really feel like I really underestimated her.

In front of everyone, Jia Zhuo took a piece of green gauze and peeled it off, revealing the golden particles inside, which are alluring when you look at them neatly.One bite, crunchy and sweet, one bite is smooth.

The others followed suit and picked up the corn cobs and gnawed them.This gnawing couldn't stop, everyone carefully gnawed the corn clean, and then put down their hands, without making a sound for a long time.

Jia Zhuoxi explained, "I planted two varieties. The first one is crispy sweet corn, which can be eaten raw. The other side of the waxy corn will be picked tomorrow. Let's add lunch at noon."

"Let's go, let's go up and take a look." Wang Gou'er couldn't sit still, and the whole family followed to the vegetable garden behind.

Wang Gou'er and Ban'er were gesturing the size of the cornfield while counting the number of poles, and Ban'er was talking about the sprouting and falling of the poles.Hand gestures.

Liu smacked her lips, "After all, it's a girl from a rich family. Anything that leaks out of her fingers is good. I didn't believe it at first, but now I really believe it."

"Don't pick these, keep them for seeding." Wang Gou'er patted his thigh, this is a good thing, it can be planted in the vegetable garden casually, and a few people who don't know how to do it can't get less. If it is planted on the ground, It's not a lot to calculate casually, not to mention that the time is short.

"If you harvest it, you can plant another crop, and you can harvest two seasons a year." Jia Zhuo's words almost made the whole family faint.The harvest is large and the time is short. If you can still plant two seasons, this, this is simply a gold mine for the farm.

Wang Gou'er's voice was trembling, "Really, really."

Jia Zhuo scratched his head, and said a little unconfidently: "It should be true, but it's also my first time."

Jia Zhuo didn't dare to say anything about keeping the seeds. She also wanted to save the seeds for a try. If they couldn't grow them by then, they couldn't grow them.

"Great, clear out the land behind the house, plant them all, and see how much it can produce." Wang Gou'er made a decision, and everyone nodded. Food is much more important than vegetables, and we can charge more. Wouldn't it be much easier to boil in winter.

There was a large open space at the door of the house, only the one near the courtyard wall was opened to grow vegetables, and the other places were reserved for walking around, and now they are all tidied up. For several days, Wang Gouer personally set up plowshares and rented cattle. When I came back, I plowed the land behind the house into a standard farmland.

They retched and fertilized them carefully, and deliberately burned some grass ash and buried them deeply. No one picked the remaining 29 corn cobs, and they just waited for them to grow more mature.

After the corn is mature enough to be harvested, it is bundled into strings and hung under the eaves, so that it can be dried in the sun and reserved for seeds.Jia Zhuo took out the remaining half of the corn seeds with confidence, carefully followed the steps learned before, and sowed them all.

This time, the germination rate was much higher. More than 87% of the corn stalks sprouted, and the young and poorly developed ones were removed. At the end of the count, [-] corn stalks stood up.

Because of the different varieties, a vegetable field was opened among them, and the easy-to-harvest leafy vegetables were planted, which was barely separated.Jia Zhuo thought for a while, and then took out a few pepper seeds and mixed them in the middle of the leafy vegetables. It is also good to cut some shredded peppers to add flavor when eating vegetables.

This time Jia Zhuo became a little follower, and Wang Gou'er immediately saw the difference. Compared with last time, the corn stalks grew thicker and the leaves were thicker.Seeing the green corn leaves in the backyard every morning, the whole family seemed to see hope, and it was worth it no matter how hard or tired they were.

The Wang family was so busy that they didn't pay attention to the news of the village at all. When they found out that the second son of the Liu family had bought a child bride and returned, they were all shocked.

Grandma Liu shook her head even more when she heard this, "Do evil, do evil."

"Grandma, how did their family become enmity with us?" Jia Zhuo was very curious, there must be a reason why the two families are against each other.

"Man, if you want to be a monster, you don't need a reason." Grandma Liu refused to say it, so Jia Zhuo didn't dare to ask any more.

However, Jia Zhuo secretly asked the young daughter-in-law of the Leng family by taking advantage of the effort to deliver water to the field.

"I heard that when grandma's generation just married, she was close to the Liu family, and walked around with the Liu family woman for a while. Later, Mrs. Liu gave birth, and the man went to invite the midwife but failed. Your grandma can't do anything, go and help her deliver the baby."

"Ah, Lao Yao Liu gave birth to his grandma?" Jia Zhuo didn't expect that the two families had such a relationship.But since this is the case, the mother and son of the Liu family were not rescued by Grandma Liu, so why did they become like this later.

"It's okay to be angry. Mrs. Liu's son was born with a lame leg. She insisted that your grandma broke it. How can you explain this clearly? After many years of trouble, the relationship between the two families has become more and more serious. Worse."

Whether there are other things, the daughter-in-law of the Leng family doesn't know.However, she knew that the child bride-in-law brought back by Liu Xiaoyao's second son was still led by his eldest son.

"What kind of apprentice is this, an apprentice for Yazi?" Jia Zhuo really didn't expect that the eldest son, who looked upright and reasonable, would do such a thing.

"Ever since the matchmaker refused to come to their house, Liu Xiaoyao panicked and called back the eldest son in the city. The next day, he picked up an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl and said that she had been raised for a few years. Marry into the door as a daughter-in-law. It wasn't the boss who gave it to Zhang Luo, who else could it be."

The young daughter-in-law of the Leng family said with contempt on her face, "Everyone in the village is tired of looking at their family's affairs, and it's not enough to be a monster. Child bride, thanks to her thinking of it, bah..."

What is a child bride? Rich people buy someone back to be a maidservant. Common people buy someone back and serve the family first. When they grow up, they will set up two tables of wine to consummate the house and carry on the family.

But the second son of the Liu family is fourteen years old, so he can bring someone back in his marriage. After two years of consummation, his status will be completely different.Why did she get the identity of a child bride? Isn't it because Liu Xiaoyao deliberately wanted to control her daughter-in-law, for fear that she would not obey her control.

Jia Zhuo is an outsider, so he doesn't know these things. After listening to the young daughter-in-law of Leng's family, he realized that there are so many ways in it.
