Chapter 3 A Cozy Farmyard

Seeing that the game was almost over, and the time passed to Youshi, that is, after five o'clock, Xue Qianwu had to take Qianxue and Qianshuang back home because she had to cook dinner.

Although Qianwu is only five years old, she can't hold back her 30-year-old soul. Of course, simple housework is easy to do.And Xue's dinner is too simple, just cook polenta and vegetables.

Qianwu only needs to cook the corn porridge well, and the vegetables have to be cooked when the family members come back, otherwise they will turn yellow after a long time.

That's right, green vegetables are also boiled, because green vegetables will get old if they are not fried in oil, and it will be even more unpalatable.

But the mouth almost faded out of the bird, otherwise Qian Wu would not be looking for all kinds of wild things outside...

Qianwu's home is a dilapidated big earthen house, with a small front and back yard surrounded by a bamboo fence.

The roof of the house is covered with straw, and sometimes it will drip when it rains heavily.

The wall is built with soil, using a wooden mold with a width of 1.5 centimeters and a length of about [-] meters. Qianwu has seen others operate it.Beat it slowly with wet soil, and fix the upper and lower rows crosswise, and the wall is very thick so it is also very strong and safe.The most important thing is that anyone can do this kind of work as long as they have the strength, which saves a lot of money for granted.

A set of two gray old wooden doors leads into the main room, with a wall separating the front and back.In front is the place for eating and receiving guests. There is a small square table with four feet, one meter wide and sixty centimeters high, and ten small low stools, all of which are so dilapidated that the original wood color cannot be seen clearly.

And the long table under the wall is dedicated to the ancestors of the Xue family, and it is just an incense altar.

There is a small door on the right side of the wall, behind which is the kitchen.There is a stove in the front of the kitchen, and two pots, one large and one small, are installed at the front and back.

There is a small window on the top, which can be exposed to sunlight all day long and used as lighting.There is firewood on the left side of the stove, a large earthen jar filled with water on the right side, and an old cupboard for bowls.

A small door is left on the side leading to the backyard, where there are chicken coops, duck coops, firewood huts and vegetable gardens.Of course, these are made of bamboo and straw.

On the left and right sides of the main room are rooms with a middle partition wall, thus forming four bedrooms.The front left is where the four boys of the family live, and the rear left is the utility room for storing rice and grains.

The front right is where grandparents live, and the back right is naturally where three girls live.The big wooden bed is more than two meters wide, and it is no problem to sleep four or five people.With few belongings in the house, it seems that there is a lot of space, but it is quite spacious to live in.

This is Qianwu's current home, the most common farmyard.

Qianwu is skillfully washing the pot and preparing the porridge. The two twins will tidy themselves up after they come back, and they can wash their hands and drink water by themselves.

After the fire was on, Qianwu went to the backyard again, chopped up the wild vegetables dug up today, added some water and rice bran to feed the chickens, and the twins followed behind her.

The chicken coop was cleaned very clean, and some fresh grass and fine sand were thrown in it.Chickens can eat more or less, so that the chickens raised will be healthier.

Of course, although the ancients were clever enough to supplement their shape, they didn't know that these fine stones can dredge the intestines and stomach, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, easy to digest, and do not accumulate food, so chickens grow fast.

Six hens and one rooster walked leisurely in the chicken coop, and when they saw someone coming, they all jumped up happily, knowing that the little master had brought food.

"Xiao Wu." A gentle and loving voice came from the gate of the courtyard, it was grandma He Shi.

Grandma's body was pale from washing, and she wore a dark blue trouser suit with many patches, which is a relatively common clothing of the Zhuang nationality in the local area.

It has a round neck embroidered with lace, and a row of Zhongshan cloth buttons extends from the middle of the neck to the armpits and then to the bottom of the clothes.There are usually six to eight buttons, wide-leg pants can cover the upper, and there are some lace at the bottom of the trousers.

Grandma wears two big silver hoop earrings on her ears, and her gray hair is tied in a small bun behind her head.There is always a soft smile on that weathered face, a petite and lovely old lady, no matter how poor her life is, she still can't overwhelm her.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister, and Fourth Brother, you are back!" The three villains immediately cheered and ran to the front yard.

"Hurry up and wash your face and hands, and drink boiled water to quench your thirst. I've cooked corn porridge, and a pumpkin in the backyard is ripe. I just add an extra dish today, and I'll cook another water spinach to eat." Qian Wu said crisply, At the same time, she brought cold water for several people to drink, and the water and cloth towels for washing their faces. She had already prepared them for them and put them in the yard.Not to mention how thoughtful.

Seeing this, Grandpa Qianwu nodded in satisfaction, can he not be proud!Which child is so powerful at the age of five?Can take care of younger siblings, wash and cook, raise chickens and sweep the floor, etc.

Although they were all trivial and light work, Qianwu was able to arrange things in an orderly manner by herself, without rushing?There is quite the posture of strategizing and winning thousands of miles.Even their family's smartest boy Yun can't compare to him, maybe Mrs. Xue will be waiting for this little guy.

Grandpa Xue stroked his long gray beard arrogantly again, and stroked Qianwu's small head with one hand: "My Xiaowu is capable!"

The men in the family wear some black or blue suits, which are similar in style to the women's, except that the middle row of men's clothes is buttoned to the bottom of the clothes.

"Thank you, Xiaowu." The 12-year-old elder brother Qianfeng has already begun to grow on the road to becoming a male god.Unlike the natives here, who have square faces, big noses and thick lips, the Xue family mostly inherited their good looks from their fathers.

Qian Feng felt a little apologetic in his heart, he had to work harder, his sister was only five years old and took care of the family and out of the house, it was so hard work, children like other people, who didn't just know how to play like crazy.

The second elder brother Qianyun just smiled gently, he understands Qianwu better than anyone else, and Qianwu can also understand him.

The third sister, Qianyu, was not happy: "You are the only one who can do it, didn't you agree to wait for me to do it when I come back, be careful not to grow too tired." Imagining Qianwu's thin and frail body busy up and down, I feel so sorry for her .

Xiaoxue's family is like this, always thinking of others, trying to rush to do all the work, never stealing, adultery, who let them have no parents to care for them...

Qian Wu was a little speechless, seeing what her sister said.She's only nine years old herself, okay?Is it tall and big?They've all gone to work.

"Understood! Good sister, I'll leave it to you next time." In fact, Qianwu only does some work when the farm work is particularly busy. Usually, she just takes care of her younger siblings, digs wild vegetables at most, runs errands, and of course tinkers. Looking at some of her own strange things.

"Grandma, Grandma, Elder Brother, Elder Sister, we also help feed the chickens and watch the fire!" Kid Qianshuang was not to be outdone, with a childish voice and a look of begging for praise. His cute little appearance really made him laugh.

"Hahahaha, good good! My good grandchildren are very powerful! They are all dragons and phoenixes! Grandpa and grandma are all waiting to enjoy their blessings!" The joyful laughter spread far away, wafting in the quaint mountain village.

Such a warm Xue family courtyard is a must-have beautiful scenery every day.And Grandpa Xue's words will be realized one by one in the near future.
