After lunch, Grandma Dong'er drove Shouya and Shen Ruolan out of the kitchen, and went to clean up the dishes by herself, letting them rest, talk and chatter.
Shen Ruolan took the opportunity to tell Shouya that she wanted to raise earthworms as feed.
Shouya was very happy to hear that, and said: "Lanya, you can really do such a good idea. Why didn't you think of it? Well, I will go to pick up cow dung in a while. The old cows are all outside, and the dung is easy to pick up, and it’s all fresh!"
When Shen Ruolan heard that Shouya used the word 'fresh' to describe cow dung, she couldn't help but twitched her mouth. However, freshly pulled cow dung is indeed more likely to breed earthworms than dry cow dung.
But, how much can a light skinny girl pick up by himself? If you want to raise earthworms, one or two baskets of cow dung is not enough, at least one ox cart is enough. There are many people and strength, so let’s mobilize the children in the village to help pick them up. Pick up a basket of cow dung for a penny , I believe that in less than three days, enough cow dung will be prepared, and the breeding plan can be carried out.
Shen Ruolan told Shouya about her thoughts. Although Shouya felt sorry for the money, but thinking that she would not be able to pick up so much cow dung for a while, and was afraid of delaying Lanya's affairs, she reluctantly agreed.
So, Shouya took Dong'er and wandered around the village, spreading the news.
When the urchins in the backing village heard that cow dung can be exchanged for money, they all ran home one by one, looking for baskets and shovels. I hurried to pick up cow dung, lest I be too late and let others pick it up.
You know, they can't earn a penny on weekdays. Every family is poor. Who would have that spare money to spoil their children? If they have that penny, they still save it to buy a catty of brown rice noodles, which is enough for a family of all ages. Eat a dry meal. These children just want to give a penny and two pennies of New Year's money at home during the Chinese New Year, but after the New Year, they have to return it to the adults, and they can't make any money at all.
If anyone can have a penny, he is like a local tyrant and a wealthy person. Things in the country are cheap, and for a penny, you can buy ten sugar balls, or a large piece of candy, or a straw. Two pieces of marinated fruit for seed cake, the purchasing power is absolutely leveraged!
Whether it's sugar balls, grass seed cakes, or stewed rice noodles, they are all delicious in the hearts of children. Thinking about it, you can get good things with hazelnuts. Now you only need to pick up a basket of cow dung to realize these dreams. Who would cherish that little effort
Soon, the children who raised cattle at home came to Shen Ruolan's house to exchange money with baskets of cow dung.
Shouya is in charge of inspection and purchase in the back garden. If any child has a small basket and the quantity is not enough, or if any child wants to play tricks and use turaka or pig manure and horse manure as cow dung, she will definitely not escape her eyes. He will mercilessly reject the harvest, and then put his hips on his hips and scold that foolish brat.
Of course, if the cow dung is qualified, Shouya will not procrastinate, immediately pay the bill in cash, and let the child take the money and leave.
The children who got the money were so happy that they almost grinned to their ears, holding the money in unison, and ran to the grocery store in the village...
Shen Ruolan handed over the task of collecting cow dung to Shouya, and she went to Aunt Xie's house, asking Aunt Xie or Brother Daqing to help her hire some people to farm the land.
Her seven acres of land have already been plowed and fertilized, all she has to do is digging holes, making ideas, and cultivating soil. It is very easy to do. If ten or eight people can be hired, the land can be done in two or three days. It's over.
It was the busy season of farming, and Shen Ruolan was worried that no one would be willing to do it, but Aunt Xie told her with certainty that she should rest assured that no matter how many people she wanted to hire, she would be able to hire them within a day up.
With Aunt Xie's guarantee, Shen Ruolan felt relieved, and made an appointment with her to gather at her house tomorrow morning, and she would tell everyone which land to plant and what.
Later, she went to Brother Dachun's house again, and wanted to ask Brother Dachun to go to Peach Blossom Village for her, and tell Zhang Eryong for her that she was back, and let him come to Gushantun for a visit. He discusses.
Brother Dachun is not at home right now, he has gone to work in the field, and sister Caixia is alone at home.
Seeing Shen Ruolan, sister Caixia affectionately pulled her to the edge of the kang to sit down, turned around and opened the kang cabinet to find delicious treats for her.
"Come on, eat some hawthorn slices, it's sweet and sour, it's delicious."
Sister Caixia dug out her small basket for snacks from the kang cabinet, generously grabbed a large handful of hawthorn slices, and stuffed them into Shen Ruolan's hands.
Shen Ruolan looked at the small bamboo basket filled to the brim, and suddenly understood why Sister Caixia couldn't lose weight!
With the way she eats, it's amazing that she can lose weight!
She picked up a piece of hawthorn slice and put it into her mouth to eat. She just chewed a mouthful, and grinned her teeth with sourness, "Emma, it's so sour!"
Shen Ruolan almost spit out the hawthorn slices, it was so sour that people could hardly open their eyes.
She stuffed the hawthorn slices back into Sister Caixia's hand, frowned and said, "Give it back to you, where did you buy it, I'm so sour!"
Sister Caixia put two slices of hawthorn into her mouth and said while eating, "It's not sour, it's so delicious, it's so appetizing!"
Seeing her gulping down hawthorn slices, Shen Ruolan's mouth gulped sour water, and suddenly thought of a question: "Sister Caixia, don't you have it? Why are you so sour?" where?"
Caixia pursed her lips and smiled, and said mysteriously, "I don't know if it's true, but it looks very similar!"
Her monthly letter has always been on time, except for the time when she framed You Shi, she deliberately took medicine to postpone the monthly letter, and the rest of the time, the monthly letter was on time. You can use the time to calculate it, so this time, it is likely to be there, It's just that the days are still young, and she can't see it yet, so she didn't tell the outside world, only Shen Dachun knew, and Shen Dachun was so happy that she almost lost her way.
No, the daughters-in-law of every family went to the fields during the spring plowing, but he didn't let Caixia go there, and didn't even ask her to do such tasks as carrying water and cooking, and let her stay on the kang every day, Eating snacks, sleeping to nourish the spirit, and so on, it's almost enough to support her!
Shen Ruolan looked at her shy and happy appearance, knew that she must be pregnant, and was very happy for her in her heart. Sister Caixia has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few months since her marriage, and now she can be considered to be well-behaved. The clouds bloom and the moon is bright, and the days to come will definitely be more satisfying!
"Sister Caixia, then you can rest, I don't need Brother Dachun to report the news, it's the same to go to Lao Yutou."
Sister Caixia is pregnant. Brother Dachun must wish he could stay by her side all the time. After working in the field for a day, he still has to take care of Sister Caixia when he comes back. How could he have time to report to Taohua Village
Caixia said: "It's okay, let him ride a horse in the evening, and he will be back in a while."
"It's really unnecessary, I'm busy, doesn't Brother Dachun come back at night? I'll go find Lao Yutou right now!" Shen Ruolan knew that Caixia really wanted to help her, but it was a special situation, so she better not bother It's gone.
After leaving Dachun's house, she went to Lao Yutou's house again.
Unfortunately, the old donkey had diarrhea in the past two days and couldn't walk.
Shen Ruolan had no choice, she was short of time, and was in a hurry to go back to Jizhou to issue the second plan of the Thirty-Six Strategies, and she couldn't stay here for a few days, so she had to explain the matter to Zhang Eryong before she left, so that Before August, he helped her find all the people who went to the mountain to collect herbs. Otherwise, when the time comes to go to the mountain, where can I find the corresponding person to go with her
Since no one ran errands for her, she had no choice but to go to Peach Blossom Village herself.
To be honest, she didn't want to go to Zhang Eryong's house at all, because if she went there, she would inevitably meet his mother, and if she was unlucky, she would also meet his heartless girl. It's enough to make people dizzy, she wished she could not see the two of them for the rest of her life!
However, the situation is special, for the sake of mother, she has to go even if she doesn't want to!
Because this was the first time she went back to Lao Zhang's house, she couldn't go empty-handed, so Shen Ruolan deliberately cut a bunch of leeks in the shed, and took a basket of eggs, as a present for her future daughter-in-law to honor her future parents-in-law.
After tidying up briefly, he left in a hurry with a basket in his hand.
Taohua Village is not far from Kaoshantun, only five or six miles away. With Shen Ruolan's current physical fitness, she can get there in an hour.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Ruolan appeared in front of the gate of the old Zhang's house in Taohua Village.
"Is anyone home?" Shen Ruolan stood at the door with a basket in her hand, seeing that the yard was quiet and empty, she called out.
"Who is it?"
In the room, Mrs. Cui was sitting on the kang coaxing the child, when she heard someone calling outside, she pushed open the window and took a look.
"Hehe, ma'am, you're at home, I'll come and see you!"
Even though Shen Ruolan half-rolled her eyes and looked down on this future mother-in-law, she still had to give her face. She greeted her with a smile, and she was very polite.
"Emma, why are you? What are you doing here?" When Cui Shi saw Shen Ruolan, she made a fuss at first, and then pulled her face down.
