Rebirth of farming for a living

On the mountain, the honeysuckle flowers that once filled the valley were gone, leaving only green branches.

Wang Daniu had cut down a lot before and was considered a proficient expert. The three of them cut down a lot in a short time.

"Can it survive if it is inserted directly into the ground?" Wang Congcong asked curiously.

"Yes, everything in my backyard is planted like this." Li Qiuyan said.

"Your sister is very smart. You can learn from her if you have nothing to do." Wang Daniu said in a naive voice.Li Qiuyan couldn't help but laugh. In her opinion, Wang Congcong was hardworking, kind and capable, so he was really worth learning from.I am just standing on the shoulders of giants.Of course, she won't be too talkative.

Li Qiuyan also praised Wang Congcong a few words, which made Wang Congcong blush.The group of people went to the newly opened hilltop.

This is Li Qiuyan’s second visit to this mountaintop.

As Li Xiangnan said, this hilltop doesn't look like fifty acres at all, but without actual measurement, we don't know exactly how much it is.

The last time he came, he just briefly talked to Wang about his plans for the mountain. This time, Li Qiuyan was in the mood to appreciate it slowly.

There happens to be a small stream in the middle of the mountain, and water is very convenient.We are currently driving in a place with relatively gentle terrain, so it is relatively fast. We have already opened an area of ​​one acre. If we go up in a few days, it will be covered with miscellaneous trees and it will be difficult to pass through, so the speed of driving will probably be much slower. .

After assessing this hilltop, Li Qiuyan secretly thought that it would take a month or two to finish the work.

The three of them inserted the honeysuckle branches into the ground and dug the rest into a big hole to bury them to prevent them from drying out.Li Qiuyan and Wang Congcong went home first.Wang Daniu stayed and continued to open up wasteland.

The two strolled around and played, then slowly returned home. The rich aroma of meat filled the whole yard. The second uncle had already gone home with the summer solstice and winter snow. She was probably tired. Mrs. Zhang stopped chopping cabbage. Waiting in the yard, he smiled and said: "I checked several times and added firewood several times." Li Qiuyan thanked her hurriedly. When he entered the house, he saw that he had added firewood several times. The stew in the pot was quite a bit less. .

It was getting late, so Li Qiuyan asked Zhang to have dinner at home, but Zhang refused: "I won't add any more trouble to the busy work. I can just go home and deal with it casually. I can rest assured that you have your sister to help you." "Li Qiuyan couldn't stay, so Zhang went home first.

Li Qiuyan had no choice but to discuss with Wang Congcong what to have for dinner.

Pickled cabbage and white meat for lunch, and pig offal as the main course at night.

Everyone was probably tired from work, tired and tired. Li Qiuyan thought about it and thought he would drink some wine in the evening.So I picked up a few pig trotters and tore them open, cut two crispy pig ears for cold serving, fried peanuts, and sprinkled them with salt.Then cut the pig into pieces, put blanched vegetables underneath, pour hot stewed soup on top, sprinkle with green garlic sprouts for decoration, and warm it in a casserole on the coal stove.I made another quick salad with baby spinach.After asking Wang Congcong to heat up the pickled cabbage, white meat and steamed buns left over from lunch, Li Qiuyan thought about it and went to the backyard.

"Grandpa, grandma~" Li Qiuyan's voice came first before anyone arrived.

Lao Wangtou hurriedly came out and said, "You're not working at home, why did you come here at this time?"

"I'm here to invite my grandparents to my house for dinner." Li Qiuyan walked into the house with a smile.Mr. Yang was cooking late today and was about to put rice into the pot. Hearing this, he shook his hands and put the rice in the pot. "Oh, milk, I've made it. Let's go have a bite together tonight." Yang said with a sullen face: "I'm not going." Li Qiuyan stuck out his tongue, and Lao Wangtou hurriedly smoothed things over: "Let's drink the porridge tomorrow, Yanyan Call me, let's all go." Yang said: "It's so noisy, I don't want to go." Old Wangtou glanced at his wife helplessly, and had to say to Li Qiuyan: "You go back first, Yanyan, the food is ready I'm in the pot, so I won't go today." Li Qiuyan tried to persuade her again but to no avail, so she had no choice but to leave.

Walking to the door of Li Xiangbei's house, Li Qiuyan thought about it and went in.Mrs. Zhou was holding the candied fruit and enjoying it. When she saw Li Qiuyan coming, she hurriedly asked Li Qiuyan to sit down.Li Qiuyan said with a smile: "My fourth uncle went to help open up wasteland in the afternoon. Aunt, you can come home with me for dinner." Zhou waved her hand: "I won't go, your uncle left me some food in the kitchen." Li Qiuyan smiled, and she didn't expect that her fourth uncle was so considerate. But after all, Mrs. Zhou was a pregnant woman, so she said: "Let's sit together and not squeeze with the men. I miss you, Aunt Four. After eating, Come back, you and my fourth uncle will come back together, just in time for a stroll." Zhou's recent morning sickness has improved a lot, so she didn't have to be coy, so she stood up and followed Li Qiuyan home.

The house was in a lively mood, and all the pioneers had returned from the mountains. Li Qiuyan first arranged for Mr. Zhou to sit in his room, then went to the kitchen to separate out various dishes. He looked at Wang Congcong's surprised eyes and said, "Sister, let's go back to my house." Eat, they are going to drink and make a noise, let’s eat so we can be clean.” Wang Congcong smiled, it was usually fine, the villagers didn’t have any strong defenses against men and women, but she didn’t like to listen to the drunken talk of those men who drank too much.They sat down in two rooms. Regardless of the loud shouting in the main room, Li Qiuyan and Wang, along with Wang Congcong and Zhou, slowly tasted the food and had a good meal.

After dinner, everyone agreed on a time to start work the next day, and then they dispersed.

Mrs. Wang said to Li Qiuyan lovingly: "Next time, don't prepare so many dishes. Just prepare a big pot and everyone can eat as much as they want." Li Qiuyan also smiled and agreed.On the first day of land reclamation, she felt very satisfied.

Li Qiuyan was also tired, but he still had a smile on his face in his sleep.
