To facilitate fertilizer application, the team built two toilets, and everyone would go there to relieve themselves during work.
Some families don't want to clean their toilets, so they don't have one at home. They usually put a chamber pot in the room and empty it out every morning.
The poorer ones couldn't afford chamber pots, so they would go out to the toilet in the middle of the night. Anyway, the village was so small that it was only a few steps away.
If you are lazy, just find a random place to do it in the dark, and no one will say anything.
Qin Siyue was shocked after hearing this, and nodded in understanding. He thought to himself, no wonder later generations had to carry out a "toilet revolution."
The three of them trotted home, avoiding people along the way, and it went smoothly.
When Qin Jianye arrived at the door of Old Qin's house, he saw that the door was closed. Just as he was about to climb over the wall, he heard a creaking sound and the old lady opened the door with a dark face.
Qin Jianye was embarrassed and raised his hand to touch his nose.
The old lady raised her leg and kicked him: "Come in!"
"Oh, oh, right away!" Qin Jianye rubbed his buttocks, thinking to himself, his mother is so old, how can she be so strong? Oh my god, it hurts!
Chen Yunwei and Qin Siyue followed behind. Seeing the old lady getting angry, they stood beside Qin Jianye like quails, with their heads down and not saying a word.
The old lady locked the door and then asked, "Where have you been hanging out? You didn't come back all night." She was so scared that she thought something had happened to her son's family.
"Mom, something happened." Qin Jianye tried to hold the old lady's arm with a playful smile, but was pushed away by the old lady.
"Why, is there really something wrong?" Why was she so unconvinced? If there really was something wrong, would she be laughing so happily?
He is so bold that he dares to fool an old lady!
Qin Jianye pulled open his cotton-padded jacket and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Look what I bought?"
"Millet! Good heavens, it's a fine grain!"
The old lady grabbed a few grains from her cloth bag and twisted them lightly with her fingertips. "Third brother, is this new grain? Where did you get it?"
"Mom, don't worry about where you got it. Don't tell me. Put it away quickly. We can boil it up and drink it at night. This thing can't be cooked during the day. The smell is too strong and it attracts people."
The old lady nodded, put the rice in the kitchen and hid it. Little did she know that there was an even bigger "surprise" waiting for her.
Before the old lady closed the cabinet door, Qin Jianye followed her in and placed a bag of grain on the stove. "Mom, take care of this."
"What?" The old lady put down the lock in her hand and stood up to open the bag. As a result, she was shocked by what was inside.
"San'er, where did you steal this granary? It's so full, it must be grain!" The old lady was scared, afraid that her son had gone astray, so she said, "Be good, we won't eat it. Let's return it quickly while no one sees!"
Qin Jianye comforted her: "It's not grain, so don't worry about eating it!" He had a lot of this stuff in his space.
When stockpiling goods, Qin Jianye realized that the shelf life of rice and flour was far shorter than that of unprocessed grains, so he replaced more than two-thirds of his food reserves with rice, beans, and corn kernels.
Moreover, these grains are not grain seeds. Grain seeds in later generations must be specially cultivated. He bought a lot and put them all in...
Well, forget it, let’s not talk about it. I can’t get it anyway.
The old lady still didn't believe it. After asking again and again, she hid the bag and said, "No one can touch or eat this. Save it for our team to use as seeds."
"No, Mom, this is not a seed!" It has a gene lock and will reduce the yield.
The old woman refused to listen, thinking to herself, "How could wheat with such plump grains not grow well? If the harvest is poor, it means the other party doesn't know how to farm!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Qin Jianye could only follow his mother. After thinking for a while, he took out two salted duck eggs from his pocket and said, "Mom, these are rare. Eat them quickly before they wake up!"
Qian Guihua's eyes lit up, she swallowed, looked away with difficulty, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No, just two!" Qin Jianye lied with ease, without blushing or feeling guilty.
The old lady glared at Qin Jianye and stuffed one of the duck eggs into his pocket: "Hurry back to the house and remember to deal with the shells."
Qin Jianye sighed and returned to the house with his wife and daughter. The moment they closed the door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yunwei took off her black cotton shoes that were about to rub out her toes, and a stream of "hydrogen sulfide" gushed out, making several people's eyes red.
Qin Jianye chuckled and took off his shoes. Wow, it's upgraded to "ammonia."
Qin Siyue was not willing to be outdone, so he showed off his torn cotton socks, and as a result, the room was full of "biochemical weapons".
Of course, this is an exaggeration. No matter how smelly it is, it's not so stinky that it's unbearable.
It's no exaggeration to say that both mother and daughter had blisters on their feet. Two of them were even broken and painful to the touch.
Qin Jianye, the toughest of the bunch, went out to fetch water for the three men's feet, ignoring the old woman's sharp gaze, and went back and forth.
Finally, the family washed up and lay down on the kang. Qin Jianye told the mother and daughter about his discovery, and fell asleep while talking.
Chen Yunwei complained to Qin Siyue: "Look at your father's character. He puts us aside in the middle of his conversation."
Chen Yunwei had no other intentions, she just wanted to express her discontentment. Qin Siyue consoled her with a few words, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The family of three was sound asleep, completely unaware of how terrified the waiter and Daniel were all night long.
I don’t know how Wang Ergou was gnashing his teeth when he failed to find anything in the biscuit box while the three were not at Wei’s house.
What they didn’t know was that the young wife of the family whose food was stolen became so desperate after learning that her home had been robbed that she miscarried a two-month-old embryo.
***
The three members of the Qin family were dreaming. In the dream, they were warming themselves by the fire, sweating profusely and looking for fans everywhere.
I couldn't find this, I couldn't find that, so I kicked my legs and the quilt opened. Burp, I felt cool.
The three of us opened our eyes at the same time, looked at the sunlight on the windowsill, and stretched. "Well, it was a really good sleep, except for the sore throat."
"Lao Qin, get me a bottle of water!"
Qin Jianye flipped his hand, and three bottles of mineral water appeared on the kang. Each of them drank a bottle, tilting their heads back to drink it. After downing more than half a bottle, they felt better.
Qin Jianye put on his shoes, got off the kang, opened the door, looked up at the sky, his eyes full of confusion: "It's not getting warmer!"
Daya, who had just walked to the door, tapped her toes in embarrassment: "Uncle San, grandma asked me to add an extra handful of firewood to your kang."
Okay, the case is solved. Qin Jianye smiled and said, "Daya, what's the matter with you?"
"Grandma saw that you guys weren't awake yet, so she asked me to come over and ask if I should bring you food inside."
Qin Jianye quickly waved his hand: "No, no, your aunt and I will clean up and then go over. Have you eaten?"
Daya nodded, her eyes sparkling: "I have eaten, Uncle San. Thank you, Uncle San!"
Qin Jianye raised an eyebrow, thinking, did he know that Xiaomi was at home? He nodded and let Daya go about her business.
When I returned to the room, I saw that my wife and daughter had already folded the quilt, so I helped them apply medicine on the soles of their feet.
The three of them went out in their slippers and were laughed at by Zhao Dandan and Li Qiao.
