A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 194 The Autumn Harvest Birth (2)
After sleeping for an hour, Zhao Mu woke up first. When he woke up, he saw that Li Xi was still sleeping. He washed up and went back to the field with his things without waking anyone up. After harvesting, there will be corn and soybeans in the backyard. Although there is not much to live, there is still time to rush.

After the wheat and rice were harvested, Zhao Mu also resumed his time to go to the yamen. After the bandits were suppressed, the county yamen gave them three days off. Li Xi was quite guilty of the three-day holiday. If she hadn't stopped him to let him take a rest at noon, he would probably be able to work harder.

"When I'm resting, I'll pear the fields and then I can grow rapeseed and sweet potatoes." Zhao Mu has already arranged all the work at home.

"Don't be in such a rush, I'm going to pick the corn and soybeans myself, don't tell me." Zhao Mu stopped what he was going to say in an instant: "I know you don't want me to do these heavy jobs, but I don't help with rice and wheat. But corn and soybeans don’t take too much effort, even if it takes some effort, I’m still idle at home.”

"Aren't you going to build a shed?" Zhao Mu said.

"Yes, that's right, but I haven't figured it out yet, and how to build it and the materials haven't been implemented yet. Don't worry, as long as it's done in winter." Li Xi also thought comprehensively.

In this case, Zhao Mu also knew that his daughter-in-law was a restless person, and it would be impossible for her to stay at home without going anywhere every day, so he nodded helplessly: "Well, you can also think about it by the way, our family What to plant after the corn and soybeans are harvested, rapeseed and sweet potatoes in the three acres of land, what about the three acres?"

"Growing grass saves the trouble of opening up wasteland." Forage is indispensable for raising chickens and ducks, and Li Xi has already thought about it.

"That's fine, then you can figure it out yourself."

Soybeans are cooked earlier than corn, and they are red beans that Li Xi likes to eat very much. The purpose of growing these beans is to cook some of them in the morning porridge. They taste good.

"Xi'er is harvesting beans."

I haven't seen Mrs. Zhang for a few days, mainly because Mrs. Zhang doesn't like to hang out, and Li Xi doesn't go to the village chief's house very often. exchange.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Li Xi was quite strange. Mrs. Zhang was carrying a basket, which was still tightly covered. It was wrong to say that she was going to deliver food to the fields. After that, it's too early for dinner.

"Hehe, I just came over from my mother's house." Xiao Zhang smiled, but Li Xi did notice that she hid the basket she was carrying, as if she didn't want to attract others' attention.

Li Xi is not colorless, so he pretended not to see it immediately, but smiled and said: "I heard that there are many mulberry trees at my sister-in-law's home, and the mulberry trees bear mulberries. I want to pick some. Does my sister-in-law's home have a mulberry field?"

The scene of eating mulberry is still there when I was a child. I didn’t pay attention every time I ate it. Then I looked in the mirror after eating and found that my mouth was black and purple, as if someone had hit me. When I stretched out my hand, it was as scary as a turtle’s claw. But mulberry But she never forgot the deliciousness of it, especially as she got older, she had no chance to eat it. She also heard that there were many mulberry trees in the neighboring village, so she couldn't help but think of it.

"Ah..." Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then maybe felt that her reaction was not right, so she smiled awkwardly: "Well, there are, every household has some, but most of them are mulberry trees, whose branches and leaves do not grow well. The fruit should not taste good either."

Hearing this, Li Xi felt perfunctory. In fact, the really delicious mulberry is the most delicious fruit from the wild mulberry tree. I feel that the taste is different from the fertilized mulberry tree, but Xiao Zhang is so delicious. It made her quite puzzled.
