Yoyo Farming

Chapter 5

"Okay." Fu Niu agreed straight away, intending to let Youshuan take a good look at it. This Fu Niu is not that Fu Niu.The two walked home all the way, and sure enough, Fu Niu didn't see a few elm trees or Sophora japonica along the way. Although the flowering time of elm and Sophora japonica is different, it would be happy to have them.

As soon as Youshuan saw Fu Niu's eyes staring at the few trees I saw, he began to introduce: "Whose family is this, whose family is this..." In the end, there was no share between the two of us, although that There are no flowers on the locust tree yet, so Fu Niu realizes once again that poor people are short-sighted.

Back home, Youshuan first found out the cloth bag and gave it to Fu Niu: "Sister, you have to go early tomorrow morning, keep walking along the road at the entrance of the village, and you can come back when you get something to eat." Fu Niu Surprised, if you can't get food, you don't have to come back, right? Look at the weather, it seems to be the season of early summer and late spring, maybe it's mid-summer, you don't feel cold in single clothes, and the ears of corn are all plucked, Fu Niu doesn't know It was actually a few months in front of her, and she couldn't bear to ask in her heart, imagining whether all the delicious food could appear in this season for the sake of food.

In the afternoon, I learned embroidery from Youshuan in the yard. Fu Niu, who pretended to be amnesiac, might have more strength than Youshuan on the ground, but she couldn't pinch the embroidery needles. She sat for half an afternoon and dared not say that she lost her embroidery needles. It's just that she works slowly and dares not to stitch easily. She embroiders a few stitches to see if Youshuan is afraid that Youshuan will think that she doesn't look like Fu Niu.

"Youshuan, my sister seems to be uncomfortable. This embroidery is not as good as before." Fu Niu and Youshuan sat on an old bench in the yard embroidering things, and there was a breeze from time to time. If this family still has everything or luxury Goods, what a day.

Youshuan smiled and embroidered quickly: "Sister, you couldn't do it before." One sentence made Fu Niu half dead, and Youshuan continued to smile and said: "Sister, you prefer rough work, this embroidery has always been my business. "Fu Niu was depressed, but at least she comforted herself that she didn't go through with it.Fu Niu, who was so depressed, cheered up and began to fight with the tiny embroidery needles in her hands. At least go to the mountains tomorrow, so that you, a little radish, can see her real skills.

In the evening, of course, I eat half a cornmeal pancake left over from lunch. According to the ration, one cornmeal pancake per meal, so Fu Niu can eat one and a half cornmeal pancakes at night, and it is cold.You Shuan plausibly argued that when the pancakes were already cooked, why bother to steam them?

Since there is no hot water to heat the cornmeal pancakes, it is taken for granted that there are still a few shrimps to eat at noon, so there is nothing to eat at night.Fu Niu swallowed her anger and gnawed at the cold cornmeal pancakes in her hand, while explaining to Youshuan, a cheapskate, in her heart, instead of thinking of some stingy reasons for Youshuan, Fu Niu was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and let out her voice burst into tears.

There is no land at home. Of course, there are no wheat stalks or corn stalks in the crop fields for firewood.Seeing that the village is not rich, the trees on the side of the road are divided into different families, and the branches are not chopped randomly.There are two trees in my yard. You Shuan said that it won't be autumn, so you can't cut down the branches.So... there is a reason for not having firewood.

Thinking of this, Fu Niu had to ask Youshuan: "Youshuan, if you can't cut down the trees in the village, can't you cut down the trees outside the village? You can burn some grass if you cut it and dry it."

For this question, You Shuan's answer is still reasonable: "Sister, you forgot that collecting firewood is your business. I am so young, and I am afraid of heights. I can't cut down trees, and I am afraid of snakes when mowing grass. Besides, I have It’s better to embroider more things at that time, and the pancakes at noon in this weather can be eaten even if they are not hot, you said it yourself. It’s a great way to save time.”

The very speechless Fu Niu could only continue to bury her head and gnaw her cold cornmeal pancakes. Judging from this, there would be no hot water for washing hands and feet at night.If there is hot water, Fu Niu is still happy to scald those shrimps and beat them for tooth sacrifice.

It was night, as expected, there was no hot water to wash my face, so I could only wash my face with cold water, and there was no skin care products.Fu Niu, who was sitting in the yard feeling agitated and refusing to go back to her room to sleep, looked at the immature corn field, and her heart was full of great thoughts. It would be great if it was mine, and I would never bear it until it matured. Now you can pull a few back to cook and eat.

Looking up at the starry sky, you can also recognize the Big Dipper, which is good.Finally still on the earth, at least the creatures on the earth are still familiar.A little wind blowing is enough to refresh the mind, and the stars in the sky are like diamonds and desserts.Under such a starry night, in the small farmyard, Fu Niu, who traveled through the first day, finally shed her tears, cried silently for a while, and then listened to the little carrot head in the room, as if she had fallen asleep.

There is an old oil lamp at home, but there is no oil at all. Sitting in the yard and looking at this quiet mountain village, there are occasional insects chirping and dogs barking.There are no lights in other people's homes, of course, it will be better if there are no lights in your own home.But there was another annoying thing in the evening. You Shuan said that since my sister only ate half a cornmeal pancake for a meal, he wouldn’t have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow morning, and that cold cornmeal pancake would be Fu Niu’s breakfast tomorrow morning.

When Fu Niu thought of this, she burst into tears again, "My sister went to the mountains to get you some delicious food, can you make me a hot breakfast tomorrow morning, even if it is more bowls of hot water?"After crying for a while, Fu Niu wiped away her tears and went to sleep, dreaming of cucumber chips, fried chicken legs, braised fish in brown sauce... When people feel greedy, such food is the most real when they think of it.

Finally fell asleep, felt like he hadn't slept for a while, and was pushed in by a tie, with a sleepy voice: "Sister, you can go, it's a long way to go." Then he continued to fall asleep.

With a cold cornmeal pancake in her arms, Fu Niu decided to eat it when she was too hungry. It was estimated that it would be delicious and would not make her feel like she was being abused.With a cloth bag tied around her waist, Fu Niu, who didn't even have a hatchet in her hand, started to enter the mountain with her bare hands under the starry sky.

You have to go very, very far, this is not an ordinary distance.From starlight to dawn, she finally found her way into the mountain. Fu Niu sat on a rock beside her and ate half of a pancake, which she thought was a salt-free biscuit.But there is no water, it seems that this water has to be found by self-reliance.
