Chapter 10 Chapter 10
Chen Miao knew that he was afraid that his food would be cut off in the future.After persuading me several times, I refused to eat anything.

"Third sister, I'll pick corn seeds with you later."

Chen Miao nodded. She didn't know how old she was or how old Chen Jiang was, so she could only ask casually.But for such a big child, his eyes are all about work.

It was too dark in the room.You can only pick the table in this yard.

"Third Sister, when Dad comes back, I'll steal his tools and make you some small benches."

"Do you know how to be a carpenter?"

"A small bench is fine."

"In the afternoon, if I have nothing to do, I will go to the mountain to cut trees. Come back and help me get some wooden boxes. It doesn't need to be big, just put them high. I will put them on the kang to raise cotton seedlings."

"Is it still necessary to raise cotton seedlings?"

"The shopkeeper said that the seedlings grow well, and besides, I also want pumpkin seedlings. I wanted to buy them, but the village chief said that his family has quite a few."

"Third Sister, I'll bring you some leek seeds at home, and I saved a lot this year."

"If mother finds out, you won't be beaten?"

"It's okay, there are so many people in the house, I can't show it with some."

"Chen Jiang still doesn't need it. I'll go to the village chief's house to ask for it. After autumn, I'll give them some food or other things to repay the favor."

"Your family doesn't even have green onions, remember to order seeds."

"I know."

Just plan to plant one acre of corn, that is, six to seven catties of seeds are enough, so the ones picked are particularly full.

The seeds had just been picked, and Shen Wufu and two middle-aged men came over.She didn't know him, but Chen Jiang did.

Chen Miao followed suit.

"Chen Miao, Brother Wang Fu's two families have a lot of soil embryos, thinking that they will stop building houses this year, I will discuss with them that the soil embryos will be used by you first. If there is not enough, we will borrow some from each household."

Chen Miao nodded and looked at Shen Wufu. "Uncle Wu, elder brother, second elder brother, listen to me, I don't care about anything when the yard is fenced, how much does it cost?"

"Chen Miao, how big do you want to be around? The area surrounded by the fence?"

"Uncle Wu, I don't have anyone on the west side. Can you fence off the west side? I want to build a pigsty, a chicken coop."

"Alright, no one cares now."

"Measure, the height should be higher than the elder brother's height."

A few people circled around, and there was still a space of three meters behind.

In the end, the three of them discussed, and Chen Miao continued to pick the seeds.

"According to what you said, it costs at least three yuan, and there are too many soil embryos to be used."

Chen Miao smiled wryly in her heart, and thought for a while, "Okay, Shen Jianfeng left me three yuan, and I don't have much room to play and spend money now, so I will surround the yard and trouble my eldest brother, second brother, and fifth uncle."

"It's okay, I'll start working today, no matter what I have to dig two shovels deep."

The three of them left, and it was almost spring planting, so this job had to be done quickly.

There are only two siblings left in the yard. "Third sister, did you spend so much money?"

Chen Miao smiled wryly, "I can't do without flowers, I'm afraid by myself, and besides, I'm also afraid that the little donkey will be lost."

"This yard needs to be fenced to buy three sheep."

The seeds were all gathered up, and after a while someone came over with a shovel.

Chen Miao followed Chen Jiang and called for someone.Looking at Wang Daqiao, the two brothers Wang Erqiao used white lime powder to mark out the location to the west.The few people who came over had already started pulling out branches and digging the foundation.

Chen Jiang also worked together.

"I'll go to the mountains to have a look." In the countryside, men and women are still very serious about defense. It's too embarrassing to stay at home and watch others work. I'd better cut down trees. There are too many shortages. Let's prepare slowly.

"Third Sister, I'll just stay at home and work with my elder brother and the others." Chen Jiang said hurriedly, it's impossible to keep no one at home, and he can find anything he lacks.

Chen Miao nodded and went up the mountain.If you choose a tree and only have an ax in your hand, you can only use brute force.

It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that one tree was brought down.He was too tired to move anymore, looked at the blisters on his palm and smiled wryly, this was not enough.After resting for 10 minutes, I didn't want to do it anymore.

I packed up my tools and went up the mountain to have a look.

With no money in hand, I feel particularly insecure.I thought in my heart that I might have an unexpected harvest.

After passing the place where she cut the branches, I walked inside, saw the rabbit, and chased after it in surprise. I was already tired and physically weak.Even under normal circumstances, it can't catch up.

Forget it, I don't have this extra money, and there are a lot of trees here.Let's be more pragmatic.

After cutting for an hour, it was put away and it was time to go back.

A rope was tied to the tree trunk and straddled over the shoulders, dragging it down the mountain.Really tired, really tired.Before I got home, I saw Chen Jiang running over.

"Third sister, why are you back so late?"

"It's too much effort to cut down the tree."

Chen Jiang helped to pull them together.Chen Miao felt much more relaxed.

It was dark, and I couldn't see clearly. I didn't know that the foundation had been dug up today until I got to the front.

"so fast."

"Third sister, I'm going back, I've already fed the donkey."

"You go home and tell me you're coming back for dinner, or the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have something to say."

"Third sister, you can just plug in the door, I won't come here."

"You don't have your meal when you go home. I'll wait for you."

Chen Jiang ran home, and his father came back, watching his fourth son come back, "Aren't you going home after dark?"

Chen Jiang didn't say anything.Secretly told the younger brother to keep the door for himself, and slipped away when he found a chance.

Chen Miao thought for a while and thought that Chen Jiang must be hungry after a day's work. He had fed the little donkey, so he simply boiled sorghum porridge at the bottom of the pot and steamed steamed buns on top.

There are still wild vegetables in it, and if you want to order something delicious for Chen Jiang, you don't know what to eat.After thinking about it, half of the cornmeal is left, and brown sugar is put in it. I must like sweet food.

When Chen Jiang came over, the pot was already filled with steam.

"There's hot water there, you can wash it."

"Third sister, dad is back."

Chen Miao didn't say anything either.Listening to Chen Jiang's words, it seems that he did not come back after getting married.

When the meal was ready, the siblings sat down to eat. "This is sweet, you eat."

"Third sister, did you put brown sugar? I can smell the sweetness of brown sugar."

"Well, you eat."

Chen Jiang ate Wotou and drank porridge, and thought it was really delicious, but it was still sweet to eat.

Before I finished eating, I heard movement outside.The two siblings ran out, and it turned out that someone was pushing earth embryos here.After talking a few words with others, I came back to continue eating.After Chen Jiang was sent away, Chen Miao took a bath and soaked in the tub before feeling really tired and aching all over.I sigh again, if there is no supermarket warehouse of my sister's family, how would I live?
The next day was still the same, yesterday's leftover porridge was hot, and the corn bread was also served.The little donkey is still boiled cornmeal.But if you want to keep it well, you have to count on it for important work.

Someone has already started work outside.Country people have never said that they are afraid of suffering.

Chen Miao called people one by one, but said nothing else.Others are too embarrassed to talk to a little daughter-in-law.Just after eating, Chen Jiang came in, followed by a man.
