Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 162
"Hens don't nest in winter, and they can hatch their chicks when it gets warmer next year. The eggs will be broken by then."

I don't know if these eggs are fertilized eggs, and not all eggs can hatch chicks.

"Ah? Can't you turn into a chicken?" Shuan'er lowered his head in disappointment, "Then...then...but sister Huiru said that the hen will be slaughtered in a few days."

He also told Yue'er to let the hens hatch their eggs before they were slaughtered. Two eggs are two chicks, one for each person.

"Well, so you can take good care of the piglet." Shu Yingtong didn't intend to intervene in the question of whether to kill the chicken, why would he not let him eat it if he paid for it?

When eating at noon, there was no egg custard on the table, but chicken soup.

Shu Yingtong glanced at Shuan'er who was eating seriously with a few little Doudings at the other end of the table, and asked Zhenniang in a low voice, "Didn't Shuan'er pick up two eggs this morning?"

Zhenniang burst out laughing, "He said he would put the chicks in Yuanbao's cradle to hatch, and Yuanbao would be able to hatch if he lay warm every day. I refused, and he hid it again and said that he would wait for the salesman to come and change it for me." Two needles."

The village hasn't been built yet, so where are the shopkeepers?In the famine year, people can't support them, let alone raise livestock. Everyone has little money in their pockets, and shopkeepers don't like to come.

The northern and southern villages are stepping up building houses, because they are built for their own living, so most people do not need supervisors.

It becomes very cold at night, everyone hopes to build the house as soon as possible and live in it as soon as possible.

The children who were banned from entering the construction site by Shu Yingtong were also sifting sand in the open space.Several people worked together to lift a sand sieve frame, chanting one, two, one, two to shake the sand back and forth.

Large pieces of cobblestones were picked out and piled up to the other side, reserved for paving the road.

As the days passed, the house got taller and taller.

Nancun only has two-storey enclosed houses. The population is not large. A household occupies a large area and has many rooms. Only two floors are enough.

As for whether the next generation will be able to live after the increase in population, that is not something Shu Yingtong has to consider.

Beicun is also built with two floors. Because there is no reinforced concrete floor slab, it is still dominated by brick and wood structures.

The floor slab is also a wooden frame with mortise and tenon structure to support the thick wooden floor slab. Because of the rush schedule, there is no exterior design, and everything is kept simple.

Two rows of connected dormitory buildings were built on both sides of the official road in Beicun. On the first floor, there was a large public kitchen and men's and women's bathrooms. Fires were strictly prohibited on the second floor.

Half a month has passed since the beam-laying ceremony, and Beicun has already begun to lay tiles.

The enclosed house in South Village has just been built to a small half of the second floor, but this does not prevent them from painting the first floor and moving the furniture in. Let's celebrate a year later.

Entering the end of the year, the sky is getting colder and colder, and you can see the white mist in one breath.

The sun is hanging in the sky, and the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is cold and cold. No one wants to stay in the house. The house is not as warm as the outside.

Shu Yingtong is taking Wei Dafu and a group of craftsmen to build a kang at Qiuyan's house.

Aunt Liu is very afraid of the cold when she is old, and wearing two layers of jackets does not work, and the fire cage is always in her hand.

A thick apron that reached to the knee was tied around his waist, and he sat at the door basking in the sun, and the apron covered the fire cage under his feet.

Wazi, who came to see the excitement, ran to her side happily, squatted down and lifted the corner of the apron and put his hands on the grate of the fire cage to warm his hands.

"We have slept on wooden beds for most of our lives, and this is the first time we have built a kang." Wei Dafu shoveled a shovel and poured mud on the surface of the kang, muttering, "There is a person sleeping on the top, and a fire underneath, I feel like A pancake."

Shu Yingtong couldn't laugh or cry, and ordered the craftsmen to build the second row of kang roads.

The kang was made bigger, and Mrs. Liu was used to sleeping in the same bed with Qiuyan, so he only built one kang in his house.The original plank bed was moved to the utility room.

With seven or eight people, it took half a day to build it, and it only took a few days to open the windows to dry the kang and start sleeping.

Wei Dafu took the craftsmen and rushed to the next house, the elderly were given priority, and the children who watched the fun followed in a swarm.

"Girl, come on, sit here and bask in the sun for a while." Aunt Liu's age spots on her wrinkled face deepened a bit, and her mouth shriveled when she smiled.

Shu Yingtong went to the door, scooped up a ladle of clean water to wash off the mud on her hands, shook the water, and found a stool to sit opposite her.

Generally, when people in the village come to her, there is no common sense. They must have something to say, "Please tell me."

Aunt Liu took out a handful of peanuts from her pocket and stuffed them into her hand, "I went to Beicun to deliver a baby two days ago, and they gave it to me. My teeth are bad and I can't chew them. Give it to you young children."

Looking at Shu Yingtong sitting under the sun with a smile, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, he patted the floating ash on the apron.

"Girl, I don't have much work left. You and Mr. Jing have lived for so many days. Why don't you get married and have a baby while I can still walk and deliver babies?"

Shu Yingtong stopped peeling peanuts, and twitched the corners of her mouth. She has no father and no mother, but she was forced to marry and give birth.
This Mrs. Liu is a good old lady, she can't do any heavy work, and she hasn't been idle all winter.I spent the whole day roasting in a fire cage, with a bamboo basket on my lap, and I don’t know how many shoe soles I put in and how many cotton shoes I made.

What she is wearing on her feet is made by her. The style is not very good-looking, but it is very warm.

He couldn't refuse straight away like he did to Jing Chao, so he had to say politely, "Ma'am, I'm not in a hurry. Just wait a little longer."

Aunt Liu put down the chisel needle and waved her hand, "I can't wait that long with my old bones~ I always want to wait for you to have a baby, I have to deliver your baby to rest assured, other people are not so sophisticated in delivering babies."

"I, I often think that the baby girl and Mr. Jing will have a beautiful baby. Hear the first cry, cut his umbilical cord, and wash him three times."

The mother and daughter received such great kindness from the girl, and they always had to pay back a little before they left, so that they could relax when they were on the road.

Shu Yingtong was at a loss for words, hanging her head, not knowing how to politely reject her kindness and expectation.

Suddenly there were brisk footsteps behind her, her back warmed up, and two arms wrapped around her shoulders, someone whispered in her ear and said, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Liu, please help me to persuade her .”

"Why are you making trouble!" Shu Yingtong gritted her teeth.

"I came to you when I was done working." Jing Yunyan took a peanut from her hand and peeled it, and fed the peanut into her mouth, "Peanuts, peanuts, peanuts, am I right, ma'am?" ?”

"That's right~" Aunt Liu nodded with a smile, "What a handsome young man, and he has a very good temper. My aunt is looking forward to your marriage every day~"

"Okay, then I'll take her back now, and persuade her to marry me early and have a baby. How do you think it will be for three years?"

"Go, go~" Aunt Liu smiled and waved her hand.

Jing Yunyan frowned and smiled warmly, and led Shu Yingtong out of the alley.

"Now you have become so proficient at talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Shu Yingtong gave him a sidelong glance.

Jing Yunyan squeezed her palm, and sighed softly, "It's a day to make the old man happy. Last time I checked her pulse, she might not pass the New Year."
