Fields of Gold

Yuhai's eyes lit up and the first thing he understood was: “Do you really have a way to grow food at this time? ”

Yu Xiaocao patted his chest and packed his tickets: “I assure you, absolutely no problem! Dad, Mother, don't worry! ”

The next day, Xiaograss bought two cow trucks of straw from many people in Liangtian, another village, and handled Yuhai and Liu's straw braiding. Although Xiaotong Tianshi has repeatedly assured that the spiritual stone water soaked varieties can resist the harsh cold of early spring, Yu Xiaograss is still not relieved. Grasshoppers are commonly used to keep vegetables warm in the old shacks, so be prepared!

With the help of the doubtful Liu family, Little Grass sprinkled the seeds she soaked last night onto the rolled vegetable grounds. In the front yard, they all grow shorter-growing cabbage, spinach and mustard vegetables, and earn the first barrel of gold to go home when no other family's vegetables are planted.

Sprinkle the seeds, and the Liu family will take Xiaolian to the backyard and along the edge of the pond. And Mao put ducks by the pool, and he saw them, and he said, “You're turning over so early? Poolside crops are not good, and the rainy season at the end of spring is flooded. ”

Although Mao's mouth was not sparing, his heart was not bad. Liu smiled at her and said: “Prepare to grow some cabbage mustard or something, not wait for the water to rise to harvest. ”

Mao nodded, "Then you can circle the vegetables with a fence. My ducks are kept in the pond. I won't pay for eating your vegetables! ”

It is true that Mao's mouth is not attractive, obviously it is a good reminder. Why is it so annoying to say it?

"" Thank you, Sister Qian, for reminding me, "said Liu." Tomorrow I'll put up the fence. ”

In the evening, Little Grass and Dad made up more than a dozen grasshoppers in the afternoon. Yuhai braided the seats, the grass seeds are much better than the cold seats, do not need to be too detailed, he started quickly, there are two more than the grass.

Little grass and the Liu family laid a grass seed on the vegetable floor like a quilt for the garden. Little stone also helped a lot, he asked with some concern: "Second sister, can you keep the vegetables warm? ”

Little grass touched his little head and smiled: “You covered your quilt in cold weather, isn't it warm? By the same token, the ground absorbed the heat of the sun at noon, covered with grass seeds, and the heat wouldn't dissipate at night. Aren't vegetables afraid of cold? ”

The little guy nodded suddenly and said: "Turns out we're covering the vegetable floor! But where the grass is not covered, it's frozen. ”

“It's all right, the seeds have just been thrown in, they haven't sprouted and won't freeze. Tomorrow we'll make more grass, cover the front yard backyard with quilts, and the vegetable baby will soon grow up! ”

Looking at the six-year-old rock, the grass trance remembered the younger brother in his past life. When he was that big, he wasn't so good. At that time, his parents were still there, and as the only boy in the family, he was still jealous in his mother's arms...

It took three days to reclaim all the ground in the backyard. The land on the edge of the pond, when the water rises, accumulates a lot of black mud, and it's a good fat field to cultivate. Unfortunately, as rainfall increases at the end of June each year, the pool water rises and cannot grow long-term crops.

Four months before the water rose, the grass planted winter melons, bean horns, eggplant and vegetable beans on the nearest acre of poolside. In the backyard, chives, cucumbers, garlic and chili were planted. Watermelon and pumpkin were also lit by the fence.

The family worked overtime for three days before completing all the grass seeds needed for the garden. Even small stones can make small grass seeds. Even though the density and thickness are slightly worse, they will be able to use them.

For the past few days, the meal at home has been miscellaneous coarse bread, bean spoons, with only cabbage radishes and salted vegetables. The coarse bread must be finely chewed, and when swallowed it was too thick to scratch its throat. The bean spoon smelled like beans. If it wasn't too hungry, it wouldn't eat at all. Cooking dishes with less oil and seasoning, headaches as soon as the grass is eaten.

Based on the current standard of living of the little grass family, even this type of meal should be calculated in terms of the ingredients, afraid to do more, when the existing food does not sustain the vegetable harvest, the family will be hungry.

In addition to helping laundry once every three days, Liu received embroidery at the embroidery store, lighting the lamp every day to make oil embroidery. Yuhai Zhao Hunter, who lives at the foot of Xishan, helped cut some bamboo back, made bamboo baskets and put them in the town grocery store for sale.

After the early spring vegetables were planted, the little grass also fell idle, and the little lotus that could do the housework was almost completely wrapped up, leaving her out of it. Little rock followed Qian's youngest son next door, running up and down the hill, but he didn't just play, sometimes he brought back several bird eggs, and every day he brings back two bundles of firewood in good hands.

Qian Mao's youngest son Qian Wu, eight years old, is not interested in reading like his brother Qian Wen. His personality moved so much that he didn't come home until lunch time every day. He often heard his mother Mao tell him to come home for dinner: “Wukko, where's the wild boy? He's gone home for dinner...”

Mao's two sons, moving quietly, have the exact opposite character. Big money, a nerd, walking everywhere with a book, sometimes walking to read a book obsessed, head crashing into a tree don't know. Little Grass once saw him, walking while reading a book, and accidentally dropping into a ditch. Fortunately, there is no water in the ditch at this time, or the nerd must be frozen.

On that day, grass wore a basket and took a shovel to see if there were any vegetables nearby to dig. At this time of year, she had an impression that the vegetables should come out. In her past life, she loved to dig for rice noodles, come back to make rice noodles soup, or buns, which tasted delicious.

Along the trail in front of the door, all the way to the west mountain direction, the little stone jumped behind, I was happy: Second sister said to make him chowder dough, Second sister must produce a boutique, it must taste good. Although it is not the right time to dig vegetables, it is also good for your body to come out for a walk.

Xiaoshi refused Qian Wu's temptation to go up the mountain to pick out his bird eggs and voluntarily acted as a protector for Second Sister. As long as Xishan does not go to the deep mountains, there is no danger. He is afraid that he will not go out often to find his way home.

Qian Wen, who was at home, walked out the door slowly with a book. Little Rock greeted him with enthusiasm: "Little Brother Wen, go back to the mountains and read! ”

The Qian family raised more than a hundred ducks, and clamored all day long. When Qian Wenhui is at rest, he likes to take the book to the foot of the mountain and pick a place to read the book. I didn't expect to go out today, I met him.

Eleven years old Qian Wen, fair skin color, five officials clean show, behave like Sven, what a beautiful little white wife. Even the second time I saw her, the weed was still pleasing.

Qian Wen heard the voice, looked up from the book roll, saw the two little grass brothers, and said with a smile: “Yeah, find a clean place to read the book. What are you two doing? ”

"" Second Sister wants to come out and see what vegetables are available, "said Little Rock." Dig some and go back and make soup. ”

Qian Wen glanced at Little Grass and thought she was Little Lotus. I've heard that Uncle Hai's second daughter is very weak and ill. The doctor said she couldn't support her when she was born. She thought it was a little girl who was sick and crooked and couldn't even get up in bed. At first sight today, though she was a little thin, her face was red and she walked vigorously, she didn't look sick at all.

“If you're picking vegetables, it's only March. At this time, the river has not thawed much, it is not time to pick vegetables.” Qian Wen warned me in good faith.

Yu Xiaoshu chuckled lightly. “It's okay, I'm just looking for a chance to come out and walk. You're busy, don't keep reading. ”

Qian Wen learned from his gossip mother that Uncle Dahai's family came out of the house. If it wasn't for Yue and the villagers' help, he would be afraid to live in the house all over the place at this time! It's time to come out and find vegetables, just because there's not enough food in the house.

Qian Wen touched Huaili's mother, afraid that he would be hungry. She brought him dried food specially, which was white flour mixed with some noodles made of buns. He opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything.

After all, he only saw his little girl for the second time, giving people buns for no reason, only afraid to give them the feeling of "eating". Never mind, we'll get to know each other later. Find another chance to help one or two.

The weather in February (lunar calendar) was also brimming with the cold, a northeasterly wind blew through, Yu Xiaograss couldn't help but fight a cold war. The coat on his body was dilapidated, and the old cotton in it was also worn by his brother and then poured into his brother's and sister's cotton jackets, almost stuck together. Not to mention how uncomfortable it is to wear it, and the warmth is pretty good. When you're rich, why didn't you think of buying some new cotton to sew into your jacket?

Grass huddled in cold, painful hands and carefully searched along the roadside trenches for familiar plants. Little rocks jump and run all the way, full of vitality. He saw his sister, Sir, shrinking her neck. She looked very cold. She held her second sister with her warm little hand. She smiled and bent her eyes. “Second sister, I am very hot, I will warm your hand! ”

The grass moved him into his arms and kissed him in the face. The little guy's face suddenly became red, and the way the ancients expressed their emotions was quite implicit, even his parents had never kissed him.

Little stone shamelessly threw away Second Sister's hand and ran away quickly. Little grass followed him and ran away, tired and unable to catch up with him, his body was hot.

“Wait a minute, buddy, I saw the pickles!” At the edge of a dry trench, on the ground grows a small, taupe brown plant, a serrated leaf that is exactly what she is familiar with.

Little stone ran around and glanced at it. "Second Sister, this is not the case. Its leaves are green, long, and there are white flowers in the middle. ”
