Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 79
Li Shasha couldn't hold back her words in her heart: "It's hard for grandma, I was so sick and groggy, I don't remember many things. Several people in the family have been eating bran and swallowing vegetables for two months, and my aunt said it several times. Let grandma write you a letter so that someone can bring some money back, but grandma said that it is even more difficult for you outside, so don’t make it difficult for you. My grandma is good at everything, but she is too good at thinking for others. But if there is no grandma , Sister Sha's little life has already been reimbursed."

Speaking of Li Yulan, Lei Guozhen quickly glanced around, and then asked mysteriously: "How is your aunt? I haven't stayed with her for a long time, and she should be quite honest and hardworking!" Li Shasha solemnly said Said: "Mom, I don't know why my aunt's character, she actually followed my grandma, but she is not as good as grandma who has no bottom line for anyone, she can cook better than my grandma, but embroidery is still better than my grandma. Not my grandma. It’s okay for me and my brother, and I treat my grandma like my own mother, and of course my grandma treats her as her own daughter!"

Lei Guozhen sighed: "Oh, in this case, your grandma can still figure it out a bit. She is unlucky to marry your grandpa in her life. She is the only one who can bear such a man. If your father dares to learn If your grandpa is a little bit, I will fight him to the end. Girl, my mother will have to open her eyes to find someone for you in the future, and she must not find someone like your grandpa for you. "

Li Shasha said shyly: "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not even seven years old yet." Lei Guozhen laughed and said, "My baby girl is shy." They chatted and laughed and went back to the inner courtyard went.After this conversation, Li Shasha felt that the relationship with Lei Guozhen's mother and daughter was much closer.

In the evening, Lao Zheng came back with the big black horse Lightning. The pedals and saddle had already been fitted. Lightning was still not used to it. Just wipe it off.

Li Xianzhi saw the fully armed lightning, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to ride but couldn't, so he circled around the lightning.Seeing that dinner was not ready yet, Lao Zheng put Li Xianzhi on the saddle, put on the pedals, and led Lightning out.

When Li Yulan put all the food on the table, but they still didn't see the two come back, Li Shasha ran to the courtyard gate to ask for help once again, Brother, and after a while, Li Xianzhi and Lao Zheng came back riding lightning.Because of this horse riding, Li Xianzhi was so excited that the whole dinner was talking about learning how to ride a horse, which made Li Shasha feel that he was too noisy.

When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Wang and Li Yulan discussed that they would start preparing firewood for the winter. From then on, they had to go up the mountain every morning to rake bushes and cut firewood. Li Shasha also pestered Li Yulan to go with her, in order to After chopping more firewood, Li Shasha decided to take Lightning to help them pull firewood back.

After hearing this, Li Xianzhi insisted on getting Li Yulan and Li Shasha to learn how to ride a horse, so that she and Li Yulan could save some trouble when they went there.When Li Yulan heard about riding a horse, her head shook like a rattle, and she refused to learn it.Li Shasha felt that this method was feasible, but Lei Guozhen was worried again. Finally, under the persuasion of Li Xianzhi and Li Shasha, she finally agreed that Li Xianzhi would teach Li Shasha how to ride a horse every morning. Before that, she could only use lightning to carry things.

The next morning, Li Shasha got up early, and Li Xianzhi was already waiting for her at the stable.The two led Lightning out of the back door. Li Xianzhi asked his younger sister to learn how to mount a horse first. On the big rock, step into the stirrup with your right foot first, lift your left foot over the horse's buttocks, and step into the stirrup on the left.

Li Shasha was also willing to learn. She went up and down several times until her movements became very proficient. Then Li Xianzhi taught her how to steer the horse. Knocking the horse with the right heel on the belly means letting it go, pulling the rein to the right means turning to the right, and going to the right Pulling to the left means turning to the left, etc., but it is impossible to learn how to ride a horse so quickly. Li Shasha has done the turns taught by Li Xianzhi several times, and then she can hold the rein and urge Lightning to jog a few steps.

It is not easy to train to this level for the first time on a horse.Li Shasha is also well versed in how much she can't chew, so she followed Li Yulan up the mountain to cut firewood for the first few days. She just led Lightning up the mountain, and then let her carry the chopped firewood when she went down the mountain.Later, Lightning and her got used to it, and he felt that he had mastered it technically, so when he rode Lightning up the mountain, Li Yulan sat behind and hugged her waist.

Later, Li Yulan couldn't resist learning how to ride a horse. Two people and one horse went back and forth for more than ten days, and brought back as much firewood as half a room. I said it was not enough, so I went to buy some charcoal and used it.

The vegetable field in the backyard was also planted. Li Shasha and Xiao Shunzi made an appointment to come back on March [-]rd of the next year, but Li Dehai's pond fish was still available to Zui Taibai.Li Shasha asked Xiao Shunzi many times if her young boss had come to town, and Xiao Shunzi said that he hadn't come during this time, and that he might be patrolling various stores.Li Shasha could only put away the deed and deed of the old house, and wait for him to come over.

Because winter is coming, Mrs. Wang went to the town to buy a lot of cloth and cotton, and planned to make two padded coats for everyone this year. Li Shasha followed Li Yulan to learn female reds. Lei Guozhen couldn't do needlework because of pregnancy, but she kept them fetal.Li Shasha asks Li Yulan to boil milk for her every day, and Lei Guozhen has been nourished white and tender by a bowl of fresh milk every day.

Lei Zhengtang came over to see Lei Guozhen a few times, and brought them a lot of food every time. Li Shasha liked her grandfather very much, and every time she prepared a lot of things for him to take back.Li Zonghui also asked someone to send a few letters, talking about his life in the academy, he was very appreciated by the head of the mountain, and the head of the mountain said that he would definitely be fine next year, and Wang was very happy to hear this. A little sad, happy that my son finally has a bright future, and sad that my son has suffered all these years.Only Li Dehe still had no news, and Wang didn't care. It seemed that she had already put the focus of her life on her son.

Li Shasha doesn't go out very much, except when she is a school girl and chatting with Lei Shi, she spends most of her time working in the space.The wine is popular, so Li Shasha planted some grapes, and the wine produced is stored in the No. [-] warehouse, so that the wine can be produced for ten or eight years next year, and it should be able to sell for a good price!
This year, some old corn was harvested from the family's land, and Zhu Sheng's family sent over the rent, but she didn't keep it, and sold it directly, and got a few taels of silver.Li Shasha plans to fill the [-]-odd mu of paddy fields with water from Xiaolong next year. The harvest next year will definitely be better than this year's.When the harvest is ready next year, the money for buying vegetables will be used to buy more fields, preferably contiguous. At that time, she will not rent them to other people's families, but take them back, and ask people to farm for her own. Who will let her own land? As for Sheng Yang and Decline, the only two men are not good farmers, and they don't care about family affairs.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang made a new set of cotton-padded clothes for everyone. Everyone hurriedly took off the old cotton-padded clothes whose cotton wool had hardened into pieces, and put on new cotton clothes with new cotton wool. It was as if warm clouds surrounded him, light and soft.Mrs. Wang took everyone's old cotton-padded clothes together again, and planned to find the master who plucked the cotton in the spring of next year to fluff up the old cotton-wool to see if it could be shaved into a small quilt or something.

Mrs. Wang has put away Li Zonghui's new cotton clothes, and is going to change into new clothes when he comes back during the Chinese New Year.Lei Guozhen's new cotton padded jacket was placed too big to accommodate her growing belly.The fire channels in all the bedrooms also started to burn, and they were burning vigorously every day. They didn't feel cold at all, and they felt like northern heating.Li Shasha was going to start burning the kang when it got colder, so she wouldn't have to sleep under the cold blanket.

In the twinkling of an eye, the first day of the twelfth lunar month came, and the people in the village began to kill the New Year's pigs. The reason for killing the New Year's pigs at this time was because they were used to smoking pork into bacon.This way you can eat for a longer time.The extra meat was stuffed into sausages and smoked.Pig blood is also made into pig blood tofu, which is also smoked.

Only then did Li Shasha understand why the roofs and outer walls of every house are so far away from each other. It is because there is a fire pit in the center of the room. When it is cold, everyone will light a fire in the fire pit, and hang a rope from the top of the fire pit. , hang a copper pot, hot water is always available.And the meat to be smoked will be hung on the beam above the fire pit, so that the meat is smoked with cold smoke, and the meat smoked with cold smoke is neither dry nor salty. It is fat but not greasy.The smoke will also float out of the house from the gap between the roof and the outer wall, so that the house will not feel smoky and choking.

This year Li Shasha's new house was built, and there was no way to smoke bacon, so she made an appointment with Li Dehai to smoke all the things she wanted to smoke in his house.Li Dehai earns a good income from the fish pond this year, thinking of Li Shasha's kindness to his family, this little matter is naturally out of the question.Li Dehai is also going to smoke this year's pig's head and send one to Li Shasha's family, and also smoke ten or eight of the big grass carp weighing more than ten catties in the fish pond for them. You know, no one in Lijia Village has ever eaten smoked meat. grass carp.

Mrs. Wang and Butcher Zhang made an appointment to come over to kill pigs on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the morning of the fourth day, Mrs. Wang took Li Shasha to visit her natal brother.The two of them brought some fresh vegetables, four big grass carp and four big carp each, two for the four uncles and grandpa's family, and the pig's pork that was killed on the August Festival has been blown dry and turned into a delicious wind blowing. They also brought four crock pots of yogurt, and two baskets filled to the brim, let Lightning carry them on their backs, and the grandparent and grandson took Lightning to their uncle's house.
