Chapter 57

No matter how tired the pond was dug, the family dug it out slowly.As soon as the pond was dug, God opened his eyes, and it began to rain.When the rain fell, the peasants were happy. Some people ignored the rain and went to the fields with hoes to fill the ditches in the fields, lest the water run away and the fields could not be pruned.

The Song family's field has been blocked long ago, so I don't worry about it, but now I am worried that the family bought a field, and there are not so many seedlings to go to the field.This is indeed a problem. If you buy land, you can't let the land grow grass there.In the end, it was the Zhang family who helped to solve this problem. When the Zhang family bought the land, they bought all the seedlings from that family. Knowing that the Song family didn't have enough seedlings, they said they would give some to the Song family.

Song Lao Er was naturally grateful for hearing this. Although the Zhang family's seedlings must not be planted enough, it's better than nothing.Plant some seedlings in this field, and then plant some other grains and miscellaneous grains, and the problem of this year will be solved.

The heavy rain lasted for several days until it stopped. Once the rain stopped, people would not be idle. They were so busy working the land and transplanting rice seedlings.The Song family was naturally the same, except for Liuya and Qiya, the whole family went to the field to plant rice seedlings.Although it seems that there are many people, most of them are used by most of the children. Later, it was grandma who knew that the family had bought land and was too busy.After they planted their own seedlings, they came to help early.

With the help of grandma and the others, the rice seedlings were planted much faster, and the planting was finished in two days.

After the rice planting is over, grandma and the others are leaving, but He is willing to let it go. In the past, when the mother's family came, they left on the same day. Now that they have separated and built a house, He will put He Zeng Shi stayed for a few days.

"Mom, I'm all done with the housework. What are you going back to do? I used to say that there is no separation when I arrive. Is there a place for you to live in? You can still live now."

He Zeng said with a smile, "I haven't been home for several days, and I don't know what your father has done to that house. I don't feel relieved if I don't go back and have a look." , she and the child's father were happy for their daughter in their hearts.She has long wanted to come to her daughter's house for a few days, but she really can't leave the house.

Liuya said, "Grandma, what's the matter? My aunt is busy at home, so we won't keep her. When my aunt goes back, she will naturally help take care of the house." Except for my aunt and grandfather who were watching the house at home, everyone else came.

"Yes, mother, my sister asked you to play here, so you can stay, I still have me at home." The aunt also persuaded.

In the end, under everyone's persuasion, Mrs. He Zeng stayed.When planting rice seedlings, the whole family was busy, so there was nothing delicious to eat. Now that Mrs. He Zeng stayed, of course he had to entertain them well.He immediately killed the two old hens in the family. Now that there are too many chickens in the house, she doesn't feel bad about killing the chickens.When He Zeng saw that He killed two chickens, he was very reluctant.

"Girl, it's enough to kill one chicken, don't kill too many." The hen can lay eggs, and after laying eggs, you can exchange some money for them, so killing two at once is really a bit of a prodigal.

For a person like He Zeng who has been used to frugality all his life, Liuya would definitely be reluctant to kill two chickens at once, so she laughed, "Grandma, you came here after a long time, and we will definitely treat you well. Don't you bother?" Distressed, you see that our family feeds dozens of chickens, killing one or two chickens is nothing."

He Zeng was very happy when he heard this, but he still felt a little bit reluctant, "Even if you want to entertain me, just kill one, it will take so much."

"Mother, there are too many. Could it be that the chicken is killed and only you will eat it, so we won't eat it." He Zeng heard what He said, so he couldn't say anything more.

These two chickens are old hens that have been fed for many years, and it takes a lot of firewood. In addition, He Zengshi is an elderly person, and everything he eats must be cooked thoroughly, so the chicken was stewed for a whole afternoon. , is considered good.

When eating at night, serve chicken stewed with mushrooms, the aroma makes people drool.

"This stewed chicken with mushrooms smells so good, Baya knows it's delicious." He Zeng hugged Baya, seeing the little man's eyes fixed on the chicken just served, he said with a smile.

Song Laoer laughed and said: "This taste is so good, our family's dried mushrooms will not worry about selling." Everyone said that the dried mushroom business will make money, but when the money is not earned, this My heart is not at ease, now if the stewed chicken with mushrooms is delicious, Song Lao Er's heart will be half relieved.

"Father, don't worry, this thing will definitely sell well." Liuya assured.

It is a very happy thing for Liuya that the family sits at the same table, having dinner, and talking about the daily life.

Waking up early the next morning, selling offal in the town had already stopped, so Song Laoer and Song Laosi went hunting in the mountains.Liuya and the others started sewing with Mrs. He again.

"Liuya, why haven't you been to Zhang's house to learn how to write these days?" Siya sat for a while, and couldn't sit still anymore, so she wanted to tease Liuya to Zhang's house, so she could go along with her. for a while.

"A few days ago, it wasn't because I was busy at home. I had time to go there. These days, I heard that Brother Zhang is learning to do things with Uncle Zhang. I didn't meet anyone when I went there." Liu Ya has already recognized the ancient characters. Well, she is in no hurry to learn characters.

"Ah, Liuya has learned how to read, which is really amazing." He Zeng was very happy to hear that Liuya learned to read for the first time.

"No, a few days ago, she pestered Haoxuan's child to learn characters, and when she came back, she forced our family to learn together. Mother, you also know that I have a bad memory. I remember these things, and I will learn along with him. For a few days, I learned one and forgot the other, as if I hadn't learned. Erya and the others are similar to me, and then only Qiya and her father learned a few words from Liuya every night." He quickly explained.

"It's good to learn some characters, and you won't suffer any losses when you go there." He Zeng was delighted to hear that, "Your elder brother is a little loose now, so he wants to send your two nephews to the school to learn a few characters. If you don’t want to pay back some money, you borrow money from your second sister-in-law, but your second sister-in-law refuses to say anything, saying that the money will be kept for her son to go to school in the future. Your third nephew is only five years old. People like us, They sent him to the school so early, because they didn't want to lend it to your sister-in-law, but in the end, they couldn't, your elder brother only sent your eldest nephew, and left the younger one at home." In recent days, He Zeng has been thinking about it in his heart. Some complained about the second daughter-in-law.

"Mother, elder brother's family is short of money, why didn't you tell me?" He asked anxiously.

He Zeng said, "I wanted to ask you to borrow some money, but I heard that your family just bought land not long ago. I thought you didn't have any money left in the house, so I didn't come." Seeing Mrs. He thinking about her natal family, she was very happy.

"The family bought some money for the land, but there is still some left. When you leave, you can take some back to the elder brother. It is better for the elder brother to send the second nephew to the school."

Mrs. He Zeng still wanted to refuse, but she heard Liuya say, "Grandma, don't refuse either. We don't expect our two cousins ​​to be a scholar. After studying for a few years, it is better to work as an accountant in the town than to grow crops at home." powerful."

After hearing this, He Zengshi thought about it, so he didn't refuse any more.Several people chatted for a while, but they heard the voice of the second aunt Yang.

Liuya ran out to see that it was indeed Mrs. Yang who came, "Mother, the second aunt is here."

After a while, Mrs. He and Mrs. He Zeng came out. Seeing Mrs. Yang, Mrs. He Zeng asked with a bad face, "Why are you here? What should you do if you leave the house?"

Mrs. Yang didn't care about He Zeng's expression, and said directly, "It's okay, my sister-in-law is watching at home. It's not been a long time since I've been to my sister-in-law's place. I thought my mother was here, so I came to take a look."

"Mother, what do you have to say? Let's go back to the house and say that the second sister-in-law must be tired after walking such a long distance. Erya, go and pour a bowl of tea for your second aunt, and grab some sugar for your cousin." Although Mrs. Yang came suddenly, but Mrs. He was still very happy.

Yang Shi didn't speak, just smiled and followed into the house together, ignoring the son who was following her.In the end, it was Liuya who brought the little cousin into the house.

Little cousin Ah Xing was able to sit still when he had candy at the beginning, but after eating the candy, he couldn't sit still anymore and ran to the yard to play. After a while, the chickens in the yard were scrambled.I don't know where he found the stick, and he is running around chasing the chicken.

"Ah Xing, you are not allowed to throw the chicken." Seeing this, Mrs. He quickly pulled him back, not allowing him to throw the chicken.

"Gu, you have so many chickens, kill one for me to eat at noon, I haven't eaten chicken for a long time." Seeing Mrs. He, Ah Xing said loudly.

"Okay, I'll kill one of them for you to eat later, but you can't chase them away, otherwise, I won't kill them for you to eat."

"Okay, I won't chase them out anymore." After hearing this, Ah Xing really didn't chase the chickens out.However, after a while, he ran to the pit where the earthworm was kept, caught the earthworm, and played with it in his hand.Seeing this, Mrs. He jumped up and down for a while, and then let him sit obediently beside the adults.

At noon, Mrs. He didn't kill the chicken. It was not because he was reluctant, thinking that if he killed it, he would not cook it well, so he wanted to kill it after lunch. He killed it and stewed it all afternoon and evening.However, the two chickens killed yesterday left some chicken, so the lunch meal wasn't too bad.

As soon as Ah Xing got on the table, he didn't see the chicken leg he wanted to eat, so he asked directly, "Gun, didn't you say you wanted to kill the chicken for me to eat? Why isn't there any on this table?"

After hearing this, He Zeng slapped Ah Xing on the head, "Why not? Look, this bowl is not chicken, what is it?"

"All the good ones are eaten by you. Where can we get them? Sister, Ah Xing and I have come here with great difficulty. Your family has fed so many chickens. You can't send us away like this." Seeing that There are not many pieces of chicken in the bowl, and I feel a little unhappy.She felt that he was stingy, and she finally came here once, but she could only eat their leftovers.

Liu Ya was furious when she heard this, and they didn't invite this person here, he would eat what he could eat, and pull him down if he couldn't eat, and he was still here to pick and choose, he really regarded himself as a master.

"Second Sister-in-Law, that's okay. You've finally come here, and I'm sure I'll treat you well. It's not that you came late today, even if you kill the chicken, you won't be able to eat it at noon. I just want to eat it, and I can eat it at night. "He said with a good temper.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang picked up the bowl and started to eat.However, she and Ah Xing ate all the leftover chicken last night, and the others didn't drink any soup.
