The 500 mu of sorghum has been planted for more than 20 days. There is no way, the labor force has to carry water, and the old ox is the only way to pull the plow.
Erya and Zhuzi are about to start school soon, and they are so anxious that they can work for the family at night. There are still 100 acres of unplanted land in the village. After planting, each household has rich sweet potato seedlings in their own land, and they planted another 20 acres of land together.
Just like this, it's May, and the task of collecting summer grain is about to start again, but what will I pay for it?
In the past two months, Wang Hongxi did not go to the township meeting due to illness. He knew that he was arguing with a group of people, and the relief food could not be delivered. In some places, the disaster was much worse than here. .
The fields have been planted with crops, and the sweet potatoes in the mountains have been watered again. The 16,500-meter pipes have also been carefully collected. arrive.
The private plots and vegetable gardens of each household are also planted with various vegetable seedlings. As for the usual watering, I can figure out how to do it myself. This tube costs a lot of money, and if it is exposed to the sun for a long time, its service life will be greatly reduced.
Zhang Hongmei also planted pumpkin seedlings in Zhang Xingguo's yard, and nothing else was planted. This year is even more drought than last year, and dried pumpkins can at least fight hunger.
Zhang Hongmei didn't go when school started, and asked Erya to ask for leave from the teacher on her behalf. Be a good shepherd. Soon it was time to breed the ewes again. Considering that she was a girl, this task was handed over to Wang Qingshan, who was in charge of raising cattle.
Because there is no rain, there are not many wild vegetables and weeds in the mountains. Sometimes Zhang Hongmei secretly feeds the bean stalks and corn stalks in the space when she herds the sheep in the mountains, so the sixteen sheep are fatter and stronger than the cows.
The old man Wang Qingshan is not convinced, but isn't there an old saying that a man without external wealth is not rich and a horse without night grass is not fat, that is, no matter how meticulous he is in serving, he can't compare with Zhang Hongmei.
That day the old man stopped Zhang Hongmei who was going up the mountain, "Girl, uncle is going to herd cattle with you."
"Okay, let's go together."
But at the end of the day, the old man found that the place where the girl went was a little bit more grassy, ??and nothing else.
"Master, I think the old cow is quite honest, why don't I go to herd the sheep together tomorrow? Every time I go out, you help me herd the sheep. Now that I'm fine, let's let them go together."
"How can I let the juniors work for me? No hit, no hit."
"It's okay. Uncle, you can help the family with other tasks, or I will be embarrassed to ask you to feed the sheep for me when I go out in the future."
Wang Qingshan thought about it for a while and thought it was nothing. Now that the animals are in the deep mountains, it is impossible for Zhang Hongmei to drive so many animals in.
"Then, thank you, sir."
In fact, Zhang Hongmei wants to supplement the old cows. Now the old cows are too thin, and they will have to work with them in the future. There are a lot of soybeans in the space, and they will be fed secretly for a while.
Zhang Hongmei drove the cattle and sheep into the mountains every day, secretly feeding them extra meals. Wang Qingshan took care of the cattle and sheep pens, he was ashamed to take advantage of a child, the division of labor between the two of them was clear now.
She hadn't gone to the barn that day. Liu Jingze, Liu Aimin's son, came back. He went to high school in the city and has been living in the city. He came back this time to see the old lady.
Liu Aimin came over to Zhang Hongmei's house, "Hongmei, your grandma told you to come over."
"Okay uncle, I'll go right away."
"Tai Nai, are you looking for me?"
"Well, I gave you the pipe money last time. The family ran out of money a while ago, so I let you pay for it first. Your third master asked you Brother Jingze to take the money back, and you take it."
"Too grandma, I don't need money to spend." Zhang Hongmei really doesn't need money to spend, it's not that she has money and nowhere to spend it.
"I'll give it to you if you don't need it. You don't have to let a child advance money for everyone."
Seeing that the old lady insisted, Zhang Hongmei accepted the money.
"Too grandma, I'm leaving, or the cattle and sheep will rebel."
"Wait a minute, here are the biscuits that your third master brought you. You can take them home and eat them. If the sheep are hungry, you can fill them up."
"It's really a good thing, I'm hungry."
Liu Jingze felt quite puzzled when he saw his grandma making out with the little girl. His grandma knew that she had never been close to them juniors. Could it be because he was a boy? But he is not close enough to his elder sisters and sisters, and the second master's family is even more disrespectful to her, and the third master's family is so weak when they see the grandma. This little girl is quite capable.
"Hongmei, brother Jingze, you haven't seen it before, have you?"
"Brother Jingze. I really haven't seen him too much. Brother Jingze, I'll go to work first. You stay with me."Too milky. "
Zhang Hongmei left quickly. Good guy, this Liu Jingze is really a character, he is handsome, he is still a high school student, but he looks a little childish, he is jealous even if he makes out with the old lady.
Liu Jingze: Nonsense, why should I be jealous? Eye problem, obviously curious about you?
Zhang Hongmei went home again, and went to the barn with a kettle, a basket and a sickle on her back.
Encountered Shitou Sanya on the way, "What are you two doing?"
"We went to cut grass at the foot of the mountain. The pigs at home have nothing to eat."
"Wait a minute, here's a cookie. Try it."
"Sister Hongmei, don't you want to eat?"
"I don't like to eat these, you eat, you don't run to the mountains, you can cut as much as you can."
"Got it, we won't go inside."
In the afternoon, when I came back from herding sheep, I ran into Wang Hongxi, "What's wrong with you, village elder?"
"It's okay, I'm just tired."
tired? When planting sweet potatoes and sorghum, I didn¡¯t say I was tired carrying water. What¡¯s the work now? But I didn't ask again, I shouldn't pretend to be confused when I knew it.
As soon as I got home and fed the chickens, I heard a knock on the door. "coming."
Zhang Hongmei was stunned when she opened the door and saw Liu Jingze outside.
"Brother Jingze, sit inside."
"No, I'm just here to ask you to come to my house for dinner and make dumplings tonight."
"Making dumplings? I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. I'll wash my face and go there."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Zhang Hongmei returned home, took a shower in the space, and washed her clothes. I just went to the old lady's house with a basket of wild vegetables.
"Tai Nai, you really know me, how do you know I'm greedy for dumplings?"
"Only you, as long as it is delicious, you will be greedy."
Zhang Hongmei sat next to the old lady, holding her arm, "I'm a big girl, how can you bury me like this? Although it's true that I'm greedy, don't say it out? It's not cute at all."
"If you are cute, you will win. If I am so old, if I am cute, I will become a monster."
Liu Jingze was shocked again, is he too grand? Have you always been a serious grandma? It's also incredible.
"I'm too grandma, I'm going to help my aunt make dumplings. I made them so beautifully with my hands."
"Go, I didn't find the dumplings you sent before were pretty." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
