0182 Raising wild ducks(1/2)
Li Jiaoniang shook her head, isn't it? She encountered a problem.
"The girls in both families are good, but neither of them are good parents. It depends on these two families. Which one of them will change first. If you don't change, maybe the Xiang family will look down on them. Although the Xiang family is not a wealthy family, the family has a good family style. Aunt Xiang and Xiang Da Bo are hardworking and willing to work hard. They have brick houses and fields at home. They are considered middle-aged and upper-middle families in the village."
Luo Cheng thought of Niu Er's idea of favoring boys over girls, and Luo Fucai's good gambling, and frowned again, "This is a difficult matter."
Things are difficult to handle, so you have to bite the bullet and let’s see.
Li Jiaoniang thought, go and see what Chunya meant tomorrow.
Chunya doesn't like Xiang Erbao's words, and even if she likes her eldest lady, it won't happen.
Unlike the Niu family, the whole family is focused on Xiang Erbao, and Erbao's heart is obviously biased towards Niu Daniu.
The two of them ate two melons and looked at the time. It was already the moon in the middle of the sky.
Li Jiaoniang raised the skin-cut, her "seriously" injured left hand, and shook it at Luo Cheng, "Official, I'm OK, please let me know about taking a bath, you can't touch the water when your hands are."
Luo Cheng looked embarrassed and said, "Speak quietly and be careful to let others hear it." Why didn't she cover her words?
Li Jiaoniang teased him, "I mean, that little gray-haired thing, remember to apply soapcorn mud on its hair, and wash its claws and ears. The little thing likes to be particular."
Luo Cheng had a dark face, and he actually said Xiao gray-haired?
"knew."
...
Li Jiaoniang's hand was injured. Luo Cheng did what he said and took the initiative to bathe Li Jiaoni.
After renovating the house, Luo Cheng made a small room on one side of the kitchen, which is only about five steps horizontally and three steps vertically.
Put down a large bathtub and a stool sitting and washing your feet, and you can't put down anything else.
But Luo Cheng will arrange space.
When he was building the wall, he built a shaved wooden shelf and built it above the cracks of the wall to facilitate the hanging of clean clothes.
In the middle of another wall, a small shelf was built to place candles, ignition, oil lamps.
This way, the bathroom space is larger.
Luo Cheng filled the large bathtub with warm water and shouted Li Jiaoniang, "It's OK."
Li Jiaoniang hugged a handful of clean shirts, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and immediately started taking off her clothes.
Luo Cheng was looking for soap mud. When he turned around, he saw that she was naked. He was so shocked that he turned around and said with a dark face, "Girl!"
Li Jiao Niang smiled angrily, "I'm that ugly? Turn around and look!"
Luo Cheng didn't turn around.
"If you don't look at me, why do you give me a bath?" He was so stupid. Li Jiao Niang was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.
"You...you sit in the water." Luo Cheng lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
Li Jiaoniang was speechless, so she had to listen to his request and sat in the water, "Okay, wash it for me."
Luo Cheng then turned around, grabbed the cloth towel and wiped it randomly.
Li Jiaoniang was funny and angry. How could she wash it clean like this?
She directed him, "Wipe here, here...and here...back, thighs..."
Li Jiaoniang took a shower, and then Luo Cheng took a shower. The little rooster in the yard had already started crowing.
...
The next day was cloudy and the breeze was blowing in the morning.
Luo Cheng washed his clothes and went to the field to see his seedlings.
The rapeseed that sprouted the slowest in the backyard has grown a fourth leaf. Li Jiaoniang looks at the sky. It is estimated that there will be rain soon this day, so it is most suitable to transplant the seedlings.
She rolled up her sleeves, looked for a small shovel, and brought the broken tiles basin with green green, and came to the ground.
Luo Cheng immediately came over, "Girl? Why are you in the field?"
"Planting vegetable seedlings, the weather is good today. Planting them into the field soon. We will have cabbage next month." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.
They had no land before, and the dishes they ate recently were either given by Zhong or by neighbors. When she went to pay off the debt, the villagers were grateful for her repaying the money and felt sorry for the little dishes they had given without land.
Or, the wild vegetables she and Luo Cheng were looking for.
The villagers are not rich and give away few dishes. Most of the time, they eat wild vegetables.
At this time, there are wild lotus belts, purslane, and broom vegetables.
For modern people who eat too much high protein and high fat, eating wild vegetables is about scraping the oil in their bodies. The wild vegetables sold at 15 yuan per pound in supermarkets will be sold out immediately.
But for ancient people who were barely hungry and rarely ate meat, eating too much wild vegetables, the more they ate, the more they ate, the hunger they became.
Although the vegetables in the vegetable field are vegetarian dishes, the taste is sweeter than wild vegetables.
Li Jiaoniang hopes that the vegetables she grows will grow faster and eat fresh and tender dishes every day.
"My hands are dirty, I have to touch the water again. Let me take a rest." Luo Cheng said without hesitation, snatched the small shovel from her hand and asked, "Where did you plant?"
Li Jiaoniang looked at her hand and was only a small hole of only one and a half centimeters. As for such a fuss?
She couldn't help but feel funny.
"Let's just go here. If the ground is not enough, plant a raft next to the ditch." Li Jiaoniang said, pointing to a piece of open space in the corner of the field.
There are many seeds, and the seedlings have grown in a full pot.
I guess there are hundreds of them.
This open space was sprinkled with wood ash a few days ago, and the soil was poured finely. I just waited for the batch of seedlings to grow and be transplanted.
The method of planting a seedling is one foot square, and this land is probably not enough to plant.
Luo Cheng glanced around and said, "The weeds outside the backyard can also be cleared out and planted some vegetables."
"It's okay, there's little land there, and you don't have to pay taxes." Li Jiaoni said, patting her forehead again, "Oh, why didn't I think of it?"
Luo Chengxin said, there are things in your head, so how can you want everything?
Luo Cheng planted vegetable seedlings, and Li Jiaoniang went to see the wild ducks.
After half a month, these furry little things were already able to grab food, and they were ones better than the other.
She plans to stock it in a ditch.
The ditch was relatively long, so she specially set up a small section of ducks to raise.
The ducks cannot swim with bamboo nets made of bamboo on both ends.
Wild ducks have more skills than domestic ducks and can fly.
In order to prevent their wings from becoming hard and flying away, Li Jiaoniang covered the ditch with an old fishing net.
The ditch area of one zhang wide and three zhang long is enough for the ducks to move.
I put it in the pockets of a few fish nets in the ditch and gained another harvest.
There are three eels, and some shrimps of all sizes.
...
Lunch was made by Luo Cheng again.
Li Jiaoniang felt that no matter how idle she was, she would probably gain weight.
She thought it would rain in the afternoon, but she didn't know that the rain did not come down, it was only windy.
Li Jiaoniang led the donkey and walked towards Chunya's house. One was to walk the donkey, the second was to digest food, and the third was to talk about the second treasure.
Luo Sun is not at home, and Chunya's house is much quieter.
In the melon shed, there were only Chunbao laughing loudly, and Zhong's shouting, "Don't laugh when you eat, be careful not to choke."
"I won't choke." Chunbao muttered.
Luo Fucai was shouting Chunya to serve rice.
Li Jiaoniang did not rush forward, but led the donkey to stand beside the field stalk, letting the donkey eat grass.
She was leisurely looking at the fields.
The Zhong family is in charge of a watermelon field, a melon field, and a seedling field.
This is the land of a wealthy family in the village. The family has a hundred acres of land and has long-term workers.
This melon field was originally under the supervision of a long-term worker. The long-term worker's son made some money in another place, so the long-term worker quit his job and followed his son to enjoy his happiness in another place.
Zhong volunteered to find a wealthy family. She was anxious to find a job, and the price was 100 cents a month lower than that of a long-term worker.
When the rich family saw her taking her family, they felt that there was a bargain to take. The family looked at melon fields, but only paid the wages of one person. It was really cost-effective, so they gave the work to Zhong.
In fact, Mrs. Zhong was willing to do the work of watching melon fields, mainly because she was attracted by the two-room wooden house and melon shed.
Although simple, it can at least block the wind and rain.
Besides, this place is close to two acres of land in your home, so you can go to the fields to check it out at any time.
