Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 183 Chapter 183

Jiang Hu warmed his hands and feet, and his dry clothes were also warmed, so he found a place to change out of his clothes.

Tie Dan insisted on grinding two lotus seeds, and after grinding out an opening for the lotus seeds to germinate, he couldn't hold on any longer.

But this job is really tiring, everyone added up, and only a dozen or so pieces were ground out.

Fortunately, it's still early, so don't worry, take it back first, and fiddle with two when you're free.

By the way, there are more than a catty of lotus seeds at home. I just brought them back a few days ago, and I have to deal with them together.

When it was warmed up, Jiang Hu extinguished the fire, dug some soil to cover it, and made sure that there were no sparks outside before preparing to go back.

They didn't know how many lotus roots there were before, so they carried two baskets on their backs, and now they just happened to carry another basket of leaves that ignited the fire back.

The lotus seeds were also wrapped in a bundle, tied tightly, and then placed in the bamboo basket to prevent them from being accidentally scattered on the road.

When leaving, Jiang Hu looked back at the water pool: "When you go back, tell the village chief about the location of this water pool, maybe it will be useful."

The water in this pool is quiet and cold, not at all like the water in the river. It looks like it came from an underground river.

Think about the location of this water pool again. Although it is on the mountainside behind Fu'an Village, if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can find that the location of this water pool seems to be at a similar level to Fu'an Village.

If there really is an underground river, it is not impossible to pass under the pool.

It gets dark early in winter, and by the time the group returned home, it was already evening. Aunt Yang had already fed the pigs for them, and Uncle Liu was also chopping cabbage in the field.

The cabbage was tightly wrapped, a big one, and the old yellow leaves were chopped off to feed the pigs, and the rest were neatly placed in the bamboo basket.

Seeing them coming back, they raised their voices and shouted: "Are you back? Carry these cabbages back. I can only chop them, but I can't move them."

A basket of cabbage weighs sixty or seventy catties.

Jiang Hu: "Uncle Liu, why are you so busy again, didn't you let you have a good rest?"

Uncle Liu moved his arms: "It's okay, I also choose to do things lightly, what's the matter with lying and sitting every day, I think people are much younger during this time."

This person is old and can't be idle. If he doesn't find something to do, he will feel bored and bored.

Not to mention, during this month at Jiang's house, if I have free time, I will find something to do by myself, help find some tender grass to feed the chickens and rabbits, or help pick vegetables, sweep the ground, etc., and my energy will be much better.

What's more, chopping cabbage is not tiring, it's not hard work.

Jiang Hu went back with a basket on his back, and went to the field with Qi Xi to bring the cabbage home and put them in the room behind the kitchen.

This place is the closest to the stables and cattle pens, and it will be more convenient to carry it to the carriage tomorrow morning.

Moreover, the temperature has dropped sharply at night recently, so it cannot be placed outside directly.

When moving the cabbage, Jiang Hu also told Uncle Liu about the fat pig.

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, but he did not refuse.

"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of Ze'er's parents. The pork in your family is not easy to eat outside. It is estimated that there is only during the Chinese New Year every year."

Although Uncle Liu has not been back to town for a long time, the supply of boiled meat ordered by Tongfu Restaurant for the Chinese New Year in the past two years was in short supply.

Liu Ze found out about this at night, and was very puzzled. He didn't start asking until he was sending his grandfather back to his room.

"Grandpa, why do you want to accept it? It's not what you said. Can't you take advantage of others? Uncle Jiang and Auntie don't treat us badly when it comes to food. Why don't you give us money for buying pigs?"

If it was before, Liu Ze wouldn't care about such a pig's money, it doesn't matter whether he gives it or not.

It's only a few taels of silver, and he doesn't think too much about it.

But after staying in the village for a long time, he also knows that to his family, a few taels of silver is nothing, but to the villagers, the annual expenses of a large family probably don't cost a few taels of silver .

For him, the money for just buying two books is a huge sum of money for the villagers.

It was precisely because he knew about this that Liu Ze knew how much advantage it was to receive a pig from Uncle Jiang's house for free.

He thought that grandpa would also refuse, but he didn't expect that grandpa didn't at all.

It's just that at the dinner table, he couldn't refute his grandfather's words. At the same time, he also wanted to know why, so he asked secretly.

Uncle Liu had just soaked his feet, and now his whole body was warm, lying under the quilt with Mrs. Tang, it was very comfortable, and he even fell asleep very quickly.

However, when he heard his grandson's question, he cheered up: "Ze'er, besides brothers who settle accounts clearly, there is another saying called courtesy and reciprocity."

"We have a good relationship with the Jiang family now. I think you live more comfortably here than at home."

Liu Ze nodded, that's true, there's nothing to deny, except that his body has improved and his mood has improved.

"Look at the courtyard of Jiang's family. Grandpa built it for free. Your Uncle Jiang also remembers it. This pig is also a wish of your Uncle Jiang's return gift. If you don't accept it, won't you be rejecting Uncle Jiang's kindness? ?”

Liu Ze somewhat understood: "Is that so?"

Liu Bo smiled: "Let's put it this way, if you give Xiaoxue a small gift, and she insists on giving you money, will you be angry?"

Liu Ze nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss Xiaoxue and I are friends, how can we collect money for gifts?"

Uncle Liu patted Liu Ze on the shoulder: "That's enough. In the past, we and the Jiang family were employed and traded with each other. Now we are friends with the Jiang family. Do you understand?"

Liu Ze understood: "We are friends, so there are some things that need to be counted clearly, but there are some things that cannot be counted clearly."

Uncle Liu yawned: "Okay, it's quite cold, you should go back and rest soon."

Liu Ze helped his grandfather cover the quilt, and then blew out the candles. The candles were brought by the Liu family, and the Jiang family only had oil lamps.

Just as he opened the door and was about to go out, Uncle Liu seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, we still have to go back to the county for the Chinese New Year, and come back after the New Year."

Liu Ze paused when he closed the door, but still nodded: "Oh, I see."

It's just that the mood is not so high.

Jiang Hu didn't know this, but Jiang Hu and Qixi got up early the next morning, and they both had to go to town today.

The vegetables were still pulled in a horse-drawn cart, while Jiang Hu loaded a big fat pig in an ox cart and took it to the Liu Mansion in the town, as well as the letter written by Uncle Liu last night, just hand it over to the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.

Now that there is an extra Aunt Yang in the family, Erniang doesn't have to get up too early to cook in the morning, and Aunt Yang takes care of the laundry and other trivial matters at home.

But this doesn't mean that Erniang can be lazy. Not long after Jiang Hu and the others left, Erniang also got up, picked up half of the sweet potatoes that had been dug up in the back basket, chopped them up and cooked them, and fed them to the pigs.

A few big fat pigs have a lot of food, and they have to cook a big pot every morning.
