There is also meat sauce, which the whole family likes. Sometimes they even have a spoonful of it when eating.
So she makes a lot each time and stores it in canning jars.
There are still more than a dozen cans now, but even though there are only a dozen cans left, they can be finished in a month at most.
As for salted eggs, there were even more. She pickled three hundred pheasant eggs in one go.
She cooked fifty today and has two hundred and fifty left. After eating them, she can continue to pickle them. There is plenty of yellow soil in the countryside.
It will take just over a month for the pickling to be ready for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Tu Long was not a person who liked to take advantage. When he heard that he was going to give it to him for free, he shook his head repeatedly: "No, I've already eaten and drunk for free at your house, so there's no reason for me to take it for free again."
"It's not for free. After breakfast, go to the fields and help my family plant the rice seedlings. When you go back, I'll give each of you ten salted eggs and a can of meat sauce!"
Qin Jianye asked his father last night what farm work there was to do at home.
When he learned that there were more than ten acres of land at home waiting to be planted with rice, he came up with this plan. He thought he would use the free labor as an opportunity to train their physical fitness.
When Gao Jin and his friends heard this, they happily agreed immediately. It was worth it to plant rice for a day in exchange for a can of meat sauce and ten salted eggs.
In the morning, many villagers were planting rice in the fields, and they were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs.
My hands and feet were swollen from being soaked in the water, but I had to endure the pain just to get a bite to eat.
When they saw the Qin family, with so many young men helping to plant rice, they all envied the Qin family for having a good son.
Bringing so many comrades to help with the work will greatly reduce the burden on the Qin family!
This group of idiot soldiers worked very quickly. They finished planting an acre of land in less than an hour, and their planting was very neat.
Not far away was Fu Qiumei's field. The whole family was bending over to plant rice seedlings, with Zhou Xia being the most conspicuous among them.
Because she was the only one with a big belly, and maybe it was inconvenient because of her big belly, so the insertion was slower.
Fu Qiumei just kept cursing and swearing, showing all kinds of disgust.
Zhou Xia did not dare to refute the whole time. Although outsiders thought Zhou Xia was quite pitiful, they were outsiders after all and could not say anything.
"Battalion Commander, isn't this old lady too cruel to her daughter-in-law? She forces her to work in the fields while she is pregnant!" Tu Long clicked his tongue.
Although in their time, most pregnant women had to work, most of them just stayed at home to do laundry, cooking, etc.
There are only a few people like her who still work in the fields even when their belly is so big.
Qin Jianye had no good feelings towards the people of the Li family, and the same was true for Zhou Xia. Someone who could bear to give up even his own daughter was not worthy of sympathy at all.
What's more, it was her own fault for being weak and cowardly. Who could she blame for being bullied by her mother-in-law like this?
Could it be that she still expected outsiders to help her lecture her mother-in-law? Thinking of this, he said expressionlessly, "Stop gossiping about other people's affairs and get to work!
Everyone must plant one and a half mu of land today. This is an order!"
They are responsible for planting rice seedlings, while Old Man Qin and the eldest and second brothers are responsible for pulling out the seedlings. Everyone has a clear division of labor, so they can get twice the result with half the effort!
Xie Yuwei and the other women were responsible for planting peanuts in the peanut field, while Old Lady Qin was responsible for cooking meals for the whole family.
In the yard, Er Gouzi was forced to do business again.
The three children he rescued hugged and embraced it, as if they had endless energy.
Qin Han sat under the jujube tree, looking at Ergouzi who seemed to have lost all hope in life, and was in a good mood.
Why does he like watching Er Gouzi being bullied so much?
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Qin Jianye and his five comrades had planted a total of eight acres of land. The remaining acres had to be left for their own people to plant slowly.
Just as they were about to finish work and go home, Da Zhouxia suddenly shouted in the distance: "Ah, my stomach hurts!"
Fu Qiumei thought she was just being lazy: "Why are you yelling? You're the only one who feels pain when working. Hurry up and finish planting this acre of land, or don't go home."
Zhou Xia covered her stomach, her face pale with pain: "Mom, my stomach really hurts, maybe I'm having a miscarriage!"
Li Dacheng, who was standing by, thought that his wife was just trying to use the baby in her belly to slack off, and was about to join his mother in scolding her.
When he turned around, he found that Zhou Xia's buttocks were red and blood was flowing down her crotch, which scared him immediately.
"Mom, Zhou Xia is bleeding!" He hurriedly shouted to his mother.
Fu Qiumei, who was busy planting rice, turned around when she heard this and saw that her second daughter-in-law was bleeding a lot. She knew at a glance that the fetus could not be saved.
But it’s not even seven months yet. Can the baby survive if it is born at this time?
This made her so angry that she yelled, "What use are you? How can you bleed so much just planting rice? If anything happens to my eldest grandson, I will never forgive you!"
"Mom, my stomach hurts so much, I might be giving birth!" Zhou Xia's forehead was soaked with sweat and she was shaking.
Li Dacheng walked over and supported his wife, asking his mother what to do!
Fu Qiumei was full of anger: What should I do? What should I do? What can I do? I should take her back home quickly and don’t let her be born in the fields!
After all, she had given birth to seven children. One look at Zhou Xia's condition showed that this child might not be able to stay in her belly.
Then Li Dacheng and his elder brother carried Zhou Xia back.
Zhou Xia screamed miserably all the way, making everyone's scalp tingle!
Tu Long was dumbfounded: "How can she give birth just like that? I'm afraid the baby in her belly is not yet full-term?"
"Why do you care so much? If you have nothing to do, plant another acre of land for me!" Qin Jianye was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Whether Zhou Xia gave birth prematurely or not, it had nothing to do with their Qin family.
