After rushing to plant the wheat, Ning Jing and her colleagues, who were so busy they were dizzy, finally returned home exhausted.
This time, even Tie Dan and Xiu Chun went to help with the work.
Only Siya and the twins were at home. Ning Jing pushed open the courtyard gate, intending to go to the kitchen to boil water, but to her surprise, the water was already prepared.
Cooked sweet potatoes were placed on the steamer rack in the pot.
Ning Jing quickly invited them home so they could fill their stomachs first.
While eating, I praised Siya, saying that she is so sensible at such a young age.
The praise made Siya blush, and she secretly resolved to help her sister-in-law with chores again tomorrow.
Because they had done a lot of work, they were starving. After quickly finishing their meal, Ning Jing told everyone to take a shower and then go to sleep.
I was covered in sweat, and even lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), I couldn't sleep comfortably.
The children, who had long been taught by Ning Jing to be hygienic, quickly washed up, went straight to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and fell asleep immediately.
The children, including Ning Jing, were all exhausted.
However, the next morning, as if by her biological clock, Ning Jing opened her eyes just as dawn was breaking.
I stretched my body slightly, feeling the soreness and aches, and then got up to cook.
Although she had finished working in the fields, she still had to go to the farm.
Ning Jing walked over to the stove, and Xiu Hua had already come in, tidying her hair, to help her start the fire.
"Sister-in-law, hasn't my brother been away on a business trip for a month now?"
After lighting the fire in the stove, Xiuhua suddenly said.
Ning Jing paused, her hand still holding the sweet potato she was about to chop, and then nodded.
"Two days have passed. Logically, they should be back in the next few days."
Don't worry, your older brother will be fine.
I was too busy to think about it before, but now that Xiuhua brought it up, I don't know how to feel.
I was both worried and a little scared. I thought about Fu Hongxing's military background and tried to comfort myself that he should be fine, but I couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
Ning Jing suppressed her own thoughts and comforted Xiu Hua.
After finishing their meal, Ning Jing took Xiu Hua to the breeding farm.
Yesterday, because we transported the compost soil used for raising earthworms to the fields, we now need to go back to the hillside to dig up compost.
Xiuhua watched as the humus on the hillside was being dug away less and less, until it had formed a pit.
He couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, can't we make this compost ourselves?"
Ning Jing paused for a moment, then thought for a while and replied, "Of course it can. This hillside will produce humus, which is made from the leaves and weeds here. We can collect these fallen leaves and weeds in a jar, then cover them with ordinary soil that doesn't have much fertility, and add rotten vegetable leaves, leaves, eggshells, and the like. After layering them several times, we can water them with some water (it doesn't need to be too clean), and then seal the jar. After a while, these things will decompose."
Xiuhua listened attentively to what her sister-in-law said.
"Sister-in-law, how about this, we'll continue digging up the rotten soil here, and find someone to get some leaves and weeds. Anyway, the children don't have anything to do right now, so we can let them do these things."
Once all those things are gathered, we can make compost.
That way, we won't have to worry about running out of compost in the future.
Upon hearing Xiuhua's words, Ning Jing couldn't help but look at her more closely.
It must be admitted that Fu Hongxing is so smart, and her younger sister Xiuhua is not much less so.
She nodded and said, "I remember there are still some fruit candies your older brother brought, so let's give this task to Tiedan!"
