Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 49 Chapter 49
After lunch, the three children were allowed to take a nap, while Lin He and Li Changhui went directly to the back of the house.

It's only one mu of land, but it hasn't been tidied up yet, and there are still some corn stalks left after last autumn's harvest.

I was planning to grow sweet potatoes before, and I have even bred two hundred catties of sweet potatoes next to them. Now the sweet potato seedlings have grown, and I just need to wait a month or two before planting.

Sweet potato vines are vine cuttings, and they are still in the seedling stage.

But now, they are going to mix sweet potatoes with corn and sorghum. This acre of open space is dedicated to growing cotton.

Lin He stood on the ridge of the field, put one hand above his eyes, and squinted to look around.

"This place is good. From dawn to dusk, there is no shelter around. It is the most suitable place to grow cotton."

Cotton needs good sunshine, especially when it blooms and bears fruit, so that the cotton will be more fluffy.

Li Changhui had already dug, and as soon as he went down with the hoe, he turned up a large piece of soil, which was wrapped with a lot of weed roots.

Lin He swayed to his side: "Brother Hui, you bought all the cattle, why are you still digging the ground yourself?"

Li Changhui kept moving his hands: "The plowshare hasn't been hit yet."

Uh, yes, arable land requires a plow.

Immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Then you just dig the ground, I'll clean up these weed roots."

It may be that Li Changhui has been too busy recently, which made Lin He embarrassed to be lazy, and even faintly raised a little bit of fighting spirit.

"By the way, Brother Hui, when will you catch some live pheasants and rabbits for me?"

When I was at the grocery store last time, I even mentioned it. I have been busy since I got home, and I forgot about it.

While digging the ground, Li Changhui turned his head and glanced at her, then turned back without saying anything: "Are you sure you want to raise her?"

Just as Lin He was about to nod his head, he heard Li Changhui continue to say, "Whether it's raising chickens or pigs, or pheasants and hares, it's not enough to just feed them. At that time, we have to clean the pigsty and chicken pens."

Lin He took care of Li An, and that was his favorite time when he was fragrant and tender, and it was no problem to wash his face, wash his hands, take a shower and change diapers.

But apart from these, Li Changhui did it himself to wash diapers and buttocks. He never called Lin He, but every time Li Anla fell on him, the resistance in Lin He's eyes and the stiffness in his body were obvious.

Sure enough, his face froze instantly: "Hit, clean? Are you talking about pig manure and chicken manure?"

Lin He didn't think so much before, but now his mind is full of pictures of the original owner cleaning the pigsty every day, cleaning up the chicken shit in the yard every day, and even some chickens even shit in the kitchen!

No, no, no, I feel a little sick when I think about it, what should I do?
However, what should I do if I still want to raise it?
He raised his head and looked at Li Changhui eagerly: "Brother Hui, how about I help you and Yuer Aner wash clothes in the future, and can you help clean the pigsty and chicken pens?"

After thinking about it, he hurriedly said, "I can also feed pigs and chickens."

She wants to eat meat raised by herself, it must be better than bought meat!

Lin He was squatting next to Li Changhui, cleaning out the weed roots in the ground he dug up bit by bit.

You only need to lower your head, and you can see the little cook's eyes, her palm-sized face, her round eyes, watery and cute.

Just like a lion cat he raised before, every time he wanted to eat something delicious, he just meowed like this, rubbed against his ankle, and looked up at him like this.

As soon as the brain became hot, he nodded directly: "Okay!"

After seeing Lin He's happy face, he realized what he had promised. Li Changhui's face froze, he was careless, and was actually confused.

Immediately after hearing that Lin He had started to arrange happily, where to raise pigs and where to raise chickens, where to feed rabbits and where to keep pheasants.

Forget it, just raise it, it's not too busy.

While they were busy, a figure approached from far to near, circled around the door of their house, and came up the mountain again.

"Brother Changhui, sister-in-law, you came to work so early, didn't you buy a cow? Why don't you dig the land yourself?"

It was Li Changsheng, who was recently captured by Li Changhui and Lin He.

Whether it's Li Changhui's strength at work, his hunting skills, or Lin He's cooking skills, he admires them all.

"The plow hasn't been fixed yet." Seeing Li Changsheng, Lin He thought of another matter: "Did uncle tell us to catch piglets?"

I told her before that I would go there when I was done working in the field, but I forgot about it today.

"Yes, yes, I know Brother Changhui is going to town in the morning, but he didn't come here in the morning. My father said that he will catch them tomorrow. By the way, Brother Changhui, you haven't raised pigs for many years, and now you know how to raise pigs." ?"

"No problem. On the way to catch piglets tomorrow, I'll just ask my uncle carefully."

Lin He hurriedly asked, "Can I go with you?"

She doesn't really want to stay at home every day now.

Of course Li Changhui didn't refuse, so he asked Li Changsheng to take care of the three children tomorrow.

Li Changsheng agreed without hesitation, and hurried home again. After a while, he came with his cattle. It only took half an hour to plow the land that Li Changhui needed to dig for a day or two.

And along with it, the weed roots in the field were also cleaned up.

Lin He silently gave Li Changsheng a thumbs-up. This young man has a future, and it must be beneficial to curry favor with him, Brother Changhui.

No, when he went back at night, Li Changhui caught two eels and asked him to take them back.

Li Changsheng smiled until his eyes narrowed, and it seemed that both parties were very satisfied.

Because of Li Changsheng's help, the work that originally took two or three days was finished in the last hour.

As for growing cotton, Li Changhui was going to wait until he came back after catching the piglets.

It just so happened that the three children also woke up, and with a wave of their hands, they took Lin He and the children into the mountain, dubbing it digging bamboo shoots.

However, Li Changhui still remembered that the little cook said that she liked the feeling of being in the forest, which made her very comfortable. She had been busy during this time, and had no chance to take her there. It just so happened that she was free today.

As for the live rabbit and pheasant mentioned by the little cook, it’s too late today, and I will go to the mountains in a few mornings to see it, and I need to prepare some things in advance.

After all, it is much more difficult to catch alive than to kill.

However, Li Changhui was only planning this matter in his heart and didn't say it out loud, thinking that he would wait until he brought the prey back, maybe he could surprise the little cook.

I didn't realize before that this little cook is really just like the kitten he once raised, she is greedy, loves to be clean, likes to flop around in places with many flowers and plants, and likes to bask in the sun when she is fine.

"What are you laughing at? They didn't read it wrong, did they?"

Lin He hugged Li An, basking in the last ray of sunset in the yard, looking at Li Changhui who was supposed to teach Li Yu and Li Hao to read, but suddenly laughed.

Li Changhui shook his head and didn't explain. He felt that if he said it, the little cook would definitely make a fuss like that little lion cat.

Lin He rolled his eyes: "It's inexplicable."

As the setting sun dissipated, Lin He carried Li An back to the house, and stuffed the child into Li Changhui's arms: "I'll cook."
