Each of them put their few clothes, shoes and socks one by one, and Xiaozhu rolled around on the kang where the three of them slept more than enough, and looked at the surrounding environment with great satisfaction: "This will be our home from now on! Great!"
Young Yin, who just came back after changing the basin of clean water, saw her so happy, and said with a smile, "Yeah, we still have our own room and cabinet!" full of longing. Outside, You Luo and You Ling were playing in the mud in the yard. In the main room, Mrs. Su was coaxing the twins to sleep. In the east wing, You Bao and You Ling were cleaning the tables, chairs and benches. In the kitchen, You Jin was busy preparing for the first time in the new home. The meal, the new life of the Su family, began.
On the first day of moving into the new home, Youjin stewed a large pot of roast potatoes and steamed a large pot of coarse grain rice, and the family ate their fill with the fragrant and juicy gravy. After dinner, they sat in the kitchen again. After taking the hot water to the shower booth, they took a quick bath, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
In the east wing, You Ling slept next to You Jin. At the age of five, she followed a large family from Liutun Town to Wuli Bridge, and she still felt a little uncomfortable: "Third sister, we really Aren't you going home?" She had called Third Sister Youjin for so many years, but she was not used to changing her words.
"You Ling wants to go back?" Young Jin didn't answer her question, but instead asked her this: "Does You Ling not like it here?"
You Ling's eyelids were a little heavy, and she thought for a while before shaking her head slightly: "This place is very good, there is no father, no milk, no one beats us..." Although You Ling is still young, He is also very reliant on Young Jin. Although there is some anxiety and fear in his heart when he comes to a completely unfamiliar environment, as long as there are Su Shi and others around, the anxiety and fear have dissipated a lot.
"Then we won't go back, it will be our home from now on." You Jin patted her lightly and coaxed her to sleep, and the already very tired You Ling fell asleep peacefully within a moment. Young Jin covered the quilts for the little ones beside him, and fell asleep soon after.
In the dream, You Jin saw a young woman about twenty-three or four years old, with a wicker-like body and a pair of almond eyes that looked very gentle, and bowed to Young Jin Yingying: "Miss Su, thank you!" Then she turned to go to He walked away, and gradually his figure disappeared into the vast white mist.
The golden light spilled into the house along the cracks of the window, and it was already bright outside, but no one in the Su family got up yet. Young Jin rolled over comfortably, then opened her eyes lazily, looking at the dust flying happily in the sunlight in the room, she felt an inexplicable sense of slack in her heart, she had not experienced this kind of fear in many years. Someone suddenly rushed in and scolded and scolded him. Can he sleep late until the sun rises
Thinking of the woman I dreamed of last night, it must be the girl from the Qin family who was the fierce daughter of her husband. Recalling that there was no gloomy air on her face last night, but she was peaceful. After thanking herself, she turned around and left. She must have been reincarnated? Sitting on the kang and thinking for a while, then after a while, I sat up from the kang, gently covered a few small kicked quilts, then got up and put on my shoes, and quietly walked out of the east wing. Going to the kitchen, she has to prepare the family's breakfast.
While Young Jin was busy in the kitchen, Young Yin and Young Pearl also got up, and the three sisters worked together, but it didn't take long for breakfast to be ready. Youyin brought Su's share to the main room, and Youjin also said yesterday that Su's has not yet given birth to her confinement, so she is not allowed to come out, so Su has to stay in the main room until the confinement is full. until.
After breakfast, Young Jin carried a hoe and took his sisters to the acre of wasteland in front of Su's house to prepare for land reclamation.
"Elder sister, what are we going to plant here? Are we planting grain?" With a sickle in his hand, Young Yin looked at the wasteland overgrown with weeds, and couldn't help but worry a little: "When do we have to sort out all this grass? When we clean up, I'm afraid the busy farming season is over."
Young Yin and Young Zhu were mowing the weeds in front of her, Young Jin was wielding a hoe and digging the soil on the ground where the weeds had been cut, while Young Ling and Young Luo followed behind her and picked up the grass roots in the soil and piled them aside. The five sisters cooperated very well. Seeing Youyin asking this question, Youjin briefly explained his plan: "We will not grow grain this spring, and now there are no livestock at home, and some of us can't afford to farm. I want to grow some vegetables and fruits. It's fast, and when it grows up, I can pick it up in the city and sell it for some money, and I can exchange it for food."
When Youjin came out of Cuifeng Village, he had already brought the dried garlic seeds from the Cuifeng Mountain. In addition, he also bought a lot of vegetable seeds in Luohe Prefecture yesterday, and planted some vegetables in the city to exchange for money. is also possible. After all, there is no strong labor force in the family nowadays, so it must be difficult to grow food. It would be faster to grow some vegetables and bring them to Luohe Prefecture to exchange for some money.
Xiaozhu was a little worried that she would not be able to get money: "Every family has this kind of food, we can sell it to others, eldest sister, what if it can't be exchanged for money?" The cheapest coarse grains I bought from Luohe Prefecture yesterday cost one to two or three cents of silver. That money is not spent!
You Jin put the hoe on the ground, stood up straight and took a break for a while, smiling and comforting several worried sisters: "Don't worry, since the eldest sister can bring you out, she will definitely make everyone full. Yes, the top priority now is to clear the land, and then quickly plant vegetables, otherwise, let alone pick vegetables and sell them in the city, we won't even be able to eat them ourselves."
When the children heard this, they were all very worried that they would have no food to eat, and the work in their hands was much quicker. Young Jin piled the weeds that had been cut and dried two days ago on the ground that had been pruned and burned them into ashes, and then used Heyun as fertilizer.
The older children of the Su family spent four days in a row, and finally cleared out an acre of wasteland at the door. Because it was used for planting vegetables, the ground was hooked into ridges and ridges. The Su family's land was not far from the Wuli Bridge river, and Xiaojin brought running water from the river to irrigate. After the land was all wet, On the second day, the wild garlic brought from Cuifeng Village will be split one by one, all of which will be planted in the ground, and then I will use the few load I bought from a family in Wuliqiao for a penny. Dry straw was spread in the field where the garlic seedlings were planted, and after watering enough, the three rows of garlic were planted in the field.
The rest of the land is planted with vegetables and fruits such as potatoes, cabbage, small greens, pumpkins, and one acre of land is full of local crops.
After planting vegetables, you only need to divert water to irrigate every one or two days. These are all small things, and Young Yin and Young Pearl can do it well. Young Jin, who was finally able to spare time, had to start thinking about finding some ways to eat meat and make money for his family.
The first thing to solve is Su's food problem, because the food has not been good all the time, Su's milk can't keep up, and the two little dolls who are waiting to be fed have not grown fat these days, but they have lost some weight. Young Jin looked anxious, remembering that he had heard people say that crucian carp can produce milk in a previous life, so he went to the ground to dig a lot of earthworms out, and then bent a few thick needles to make a curved fish hook, and then Went to go fishing on the west side of Wuliqiao River.
The river surface of Wuli Bridge is about three or four meters wide, and the water flowing through the river in front of Sujiamen is slow. The children of Wuli Bridge also like to play in the river and fish in summer, but it is only now spring. , and naturally there will be no people in the river. The fish that had been hungry all winter smelled the scent of earthworms, and naturally they were hooked one by one. But within half an hour, Young Jin caught three crucian carp the size of an adult's palm, and two red carp weighing nearly two pounds.
After one afternoon, I caught half a bucket of fish. Several women who passed by after returning from the field looked at Youjin, a half-hearted girl fishing there. With most of the bucket of fish, the three of them looked at them enviously: "You are the girl who moved to the new house in the west of the river, aren't you? You have caught a lot of fish!"
Young Jin looked at the three women who were all kind-hearted, so he pulled a few canes and quickly skewered three fish and handed them to the three: "Three aunts, we are new, and everyone will be the same in the future. Neighbors, please take good care of our family."
Young Jin chose carp that weighed about a pound. Although the three women were a little embarrassed, they still accepted them. As the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth and is soft on people. After the three women received the young golden fish, they laughed warmly and three-pointedly, but they became familiar with each other after a while.
The four of them talked for a while, and then the three women went home with a big carp, and they also had a good impression of the Su family on the west side of the river: "Don't say that this little girl is really going to be in trouble, You gave us three such big fish at once, so I don't feel bad!"
"Yeah! You must know that such a big fish can be sold for 20 cents even if it is sold in the Luo River!" How do you eat at night? Now that spring has just started, there is not much to eat, and the children in the family are also greedy for meat. They managed to get a fish, but they have to get it and eat it. .
The other woman was a little embarrassed: "Twenty wen is not a small number, why don't we send some vegetables to the Su family tomorrow? Didn't Young Jin say that her mother is still confinement? I see them I just moved here, so there must be no food to eat." The other two women also felt that it made sense, even if they gave someone a half-basket of potatoes and cabbage, it would still be cheap, right
That night, everyone in the Su family also had a full meal, and Young Jin caught a total of eight carp and six crucian carp. For dinner, two crucian carp were stewed in soup for the Su family to drink, and then the sisters ate carp that was grilled with some salt. The remaining six carp and four crucian carp are kept in the kitchen with clean water, so that they can eat fish every day, and they can eat for three or five days!
