"Some other time."
The two talked while cleaning.
Aunt Ding Cui came over carrying a load on her shoulder, "Boss, you're here."
Song Yuehua took a look and saw that the basket was full of vegetables picked from the cellar.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's time to plant vegetables. Not only pigs need to eat them, but chickens and humans also need to eat them.
A few years ago, the compound had an exclusive vegetable garden.
There is a wall at the back, and the land was occupied. Now the vegetable fields inside the wall have been compacted and leveled, and turned into a playground.
If you want to grow vegetables now, you have to reclaim the land from scratch.
A small half of the original vegetable garden was occupied by the wall, so the remaining vegetable garden was not enough to supply the pigpen, chicken coop and kitchen.
We also have to reclaim the playground next to it to grow vegetables.
Instead of planting vegetables in the empty space inside the wall, it would be better to mark out a vegetable patch outside.
Song Yuehua asked, holding a broom, "How about we allocate another 10 acres outside for you to grow vegetables?"
Liu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Aunt Qin will be in charge of the cotton field next year, so she won't be so concerned about the vegetable field. She will give it to us, and we can plant whatever we want to eat."
"Which piece of land do you want?" Song Yuehua asked.
Liu Xue looked at Aunt Ding Cui and asked, "Aunt Ding, which piece of land do you think is good?"
"The land to the west of the wall," Ding Cuigu explained. "The manure pond is close by, and it's convenient for watering the vegetables."
Liu Xue thought about it and felt that the land was indeed good, so she said, "Master, listen to Aunt Ding and take that land."
Just after she finished speaking, Liu Xue became a little worried, "When we raise too many, will the vegetable field not be enough?"
Although I didn't hit the point, it's rare for me to think too far ahead.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "If it's really not enough, I'll allocate more vegetable plots to you."
"oh……"
Liu Xue realized that she had asked a stupid question, her face flushed, and she quickly turned around to clean the pig farm.
While several people were cleaning, Qin Xiuxiu came over and called Dao Xiaoyi to help in the cotton field.
"Xiaoyi works efficiently and has great strength. Aunt Qin is really jealous of him." Liu Xue joked.
Song Yuehua smiled.
When school started, she wanted Dao Xiaoyi to go to school, but he didn't want to.
In Dao Xiaoyi's opinion, being able to have enough food to eat and getting paid is enough to satisfy him.
When the weather gets warmer, Song Yuehua plans to take her to the county town to see if there is anything she is interested in, so as to repay Dao Xiaoyi for his loyalty on the wall.
Speaking of Dao Xiaoyi, Song Yuehua remembered what she said about Bai Shu teaching the people in the compound to read.
After asking, I found out that the only ones who could be said to be literate were Liu Xue, Wu Xinlian, Dao Xiaoyi and Ding Cuigu.
The rest of them only recognized their own names and a dozen or so scattered words.
Song Yuehua could also understand that if one really wanted to learn something, one had to do so while one was young.
"You're pretty good too." Song Yuehua spoke to Liu Xue with a smile.
Speaking of this, Liu Xue was a little proud, "I know a lot more words now."
"Yes," Tang wiped her sweat and said, "Manager Liu reads us a book of stories every day. He reads a whole book and we don't need to ask anyone."
"That's real talent." Song Yuehua praised.
Liu Xue smiled embarrassedly. Originally, she didn't know many words, but since she became obsessed with storybooks, she knew more words inexplicably.
If you ask her to write, she may not be able to do it, but if you just tell her to recognize words, she will definitely be able to do it.
The work in the pigpen was almost done, so Song Yuehua went to take a look at the chicken coop.
Grandma Xi and Grandma Lan did not work as fast as the young people, but they were very meticulous. After most of the day, they had cleaned the chicken coop thoroughly.
After looking around, Song Yuehua didn't seem to see Wen Xiaohua.
I asked Liu Xue, but she didn't know either. She stood up and looked around and said, "Nothing will happen, I'll go look in the house in the courtyard."
After Liu Xue left, Tang whispered, "Boss, Wen Xiaohua has been acting strange lately. She is quite diligent, but she likes to act on her own."
"Are you feeling unwell?" Song Yuehua asked.
"have no idea."
Song Yuehua brushed the dust off her body and called Grandma Xi to go to the compound together.
The three found Wen Xiaohua in the backyard, where she was washing and drying vegetables.
"Aunt Wen, didn't I ask you to clean the chicken farm? Why are you doing this?" Liu Xue was a little unhappy.
Wen Xiaohua stood up and said, "There are so many dishes. If we don't prepare them sooner, they will go bad. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
"This..." Liu Xue didn't know what to say for a moment.
When Wen Xiaohua saw Song Yuehua coming, she looked a little guilty.
Song Yuehua glanced at her before speaking, "Aunt Wen, I heard that you haven't been feeling well recently. I'll ask Granny Xi to come and see you. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, just tell me. Don't ruin your health and delay the work of the compound. Don't you agree?"
“Well, I…”
Wen Xiaohua realized halfway through her speech that her boss was hiding something.
Grandma Xi took Wen Xiaohua's pulse and gestured to Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua smiled and explained, "Grandma Xi said that you have been suffering from liver fire recently, but it's nothing serious."
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. If you leave, the compound will have to recruit new people. Manager Liu is nostalgic and I'm afraid he will be unhappy."
Wen Xiaohua broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
It was getting late. Song Yuehua had been busy in Dongshan all day and it was almost time for her to go back.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard crying from inside the house.
When I went in, I saw Dabao squatting at the door with his hands on his buttocks, crying. When he saw Song Yuehua, he cried even louder.
