Su Xia got up late again today. She worked very late last night to make the bacon.
After getting up, hang the soaked meat in strips and you're done.
Niuniu looked at the meat and asked eagerly, "Mom, when can we eat it?"
"It will be at least seven or eight, which should be in time for your birthday!" Su Xia replied unhappily.
After Niu Niu was sure, she let him go and ran out to play by herself again.
Su Xia then went to feed the chickens and tidy up her yard.
At this time, Chen's father came over with the captain.
Su Xia saw him and greeted him: "Dad, hello, Captain!"
"Old man, the captain is here to give you money from other villages."
Captain Zhao was really grateful to Jianguo's wife this time. Without her, all the villagers would have gone hungry.
"Jianguo's wife, I've brought you the money, a total of 120 yuan, would you like to take a look?
Uncle is really grateful to you. Other captains also want to come, but they are all busy sowing. Come over now! ”
The team leader wanted to discuss the matter of fetching water again this time, as it was really too late to sow more seeds in time for the autumn harvest.
Su Xia took the money and put it in his pocket without counting.
"Captain, what do you have to put away?"
When the captain heard this, he was very happy. This child is very generous.
"Jianguo's wife, I still want to discuss something with you. The land on the team has been plowed. If we plant seeds now, we may need to fetch water from you."
The captain felt a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. Among the wells in the village, Suxia's produced the most water, while the others were shallow and it was difficult to drink water.
Mr. Chen used to worry that the well would dry up, but after all this time, he is no longer worried because there is still water after so many people use it.
Su Xia thought about it and it didn’t matter, as there was water anyway.
"Okay, same as before. Captain, please inform the villagers to change the water supply to the lower reaches. They should focus on the crops during the day!"
The captain heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and happily affirmed, "That's right. When the time comes, let Dalin come over and let him do whatever he wants."
Su Xia nodded, it’s easier to discuss with acquaintances.
Seeing that the two people had not left yet, he asked curiously: "Dad, Captain, do you have anything else to do?"
Father Chen was choked. Looking at the captain's confused look, and then at his eldest daughter-in-law's expression as if she had nothing to do and could leave, he suddenly understood why his own wife looked helpless every time she saw the eldest daughter-in-law.
Su Xia was a little speechless as she watched the two of them leave. What kind of relationship was this? You still want to stay for dinner?
(Father Chen, team leader: They really want to stay for dinner, but...)
Su Xia was busy. She had a visibly good harvest in her vegetable garden, and she had eaten all the vegetables.
The weather is hot and warm, and there is no need to watch the child, he is having fun by himself.
There is no need to collect firewood anymore. Now most of it has been put in the shed. I found an open space in the front yard to arrange it neatly, and the amount is still increasing day by day.
Su Xia had nothing else to do, so she wanted to dry the vegetables she had eaten in the backyard into dried vegetables.
In this way, you can enrich the table in winter, of course it can be radish, cabbage and beans.
Su Xia set up two rows of racks in the yard and began her business of drying vegetables.
Remove the roots of Chinese cabbage, spinach, and rapeseed, blanch them in water to kill the rawness, rinse them with cold water again, and then lay them neatly on the rack to dry.
Cut the eggplant, zucchini and shallot into pieces and dry them in the sun.
Remove the fascia from string beans and green beans, cut into shreds and dry in the sun.
Su Xia ate the part that flowed out temporarily, and the rest of the mature ones were dried in the sun.
The rest can be eaten again.
Later on, you can plant radishes and cabbages as winter storage vegetables.
Su Xia thought about it and realized that there was still a lack of a cellar.
This can be done by asking the old house for help.
I'm not very anxious. Now I have to start farming again and I don't have time. Let's talk about it later!
The next morning, Zhao Dalin started leading people here again.
"Sister-in-law: Good morning, I'm bothering you again."
Zhao Dalin had the nerve to look at Su Xia, mainly because all the men in the village had the nerve to look at her, even though the entire team thought Su Xia was a spendthrift.
But he has to admit: "The wife that the eldest son of the Chen family married is really pretty! She is tall, has an oval face, fair and translucent skin, big eyes, two big braids, has given birth to a child, and has a well-proportioned figure. Although she is 26, she still looks like she is in her early 20s."
Su Xia was speechless when she saw the man talking with his head down, because she was the jackal.
"This is for you, you guys take care of the rest!" After Su Xia gave the notebook to Zhao Dalin, she went back to her own work.
In spring, wheat and peanuts are planted. After harvesting, rice, beans, sweet potatoes, and soybeans are planted next.
By now the villagers had already plowed the land.
Now some people are planting rice, while others are watering the land, trying to ensure the seeds are vigorous.
It hasn't rained yet this year, so I'm waiting. There's plenty of time.
It is early June now. If we plant rice now, we can harvest it in more than three months. If we plant it later, it will be winter and the weather will freeze, and the grain production will be reduced by half.
However, these have little to do with Su Xia. These days, Su Xia is taking care of the yard, raising chickens, and occasionally taking Niu Niu out.
Su Xia got up early in the morning, cleaned the house first, and then started cooking for Niu Niu.
Today is the 20th day of the sixth lunar month, and it is the little guy’s birthday.
Su Xia planned to live a simple life, mainly because the old house was under construction. After growing rice, she would start planting beans and sweet potatoes, which were cold-resistant and high-yield crops. She depended on them to save her from hunger.
Su Xia prepared to make a bowl of egg noodles as birthday noodles. She put two eggs into hot oil in a pan and fried them on both sides until golden brown. Then she poured in boiling water and added her hand-rolled noodles. She cooked until the noodles were broken by pinching, then added a few green vegetables.
There is also a plate of steamed bacon in the pot, and a small plate of braised pig head in the space.
After everything was ready, Su Xia made another plate of Chinese cabbage with minced garlic.
After putting it on the table, I took out the small box of cake I bought a few days ago, which was also four inches, and threw the packaging into the stove.
Place on a plate and serve.
Su Xia went into the room to prepare for Niu Niu to get up.
Niuniu is still smacking her lips while sleeping.
Su Xia stretched out her hands and picked up the kid, panicking for several seconds.
The child woke up rubbing his eyes.
Niuniu looked at Su Xia: "Mom, where is my gift?
"You lazy bastard, if you get up again, the gift will be cancelled."
Niuniu was threatened and suddenly woke up, shouting hurriedly: "Mom... I'm awake... I'm awake, where are my clothes?
Mom, did you say you made a skirt for me?
Where is it? "He looked at Su Xia expectantly with his big eyes.
Su Xia was somewhat healed. It turned out that any species is the cutest when it is a cub.
It's right next to you, I've put it there for you a long time ago! ”
Su Xia put the skirt and sandals she had prepared on the kang early in the morning.
Niu Niu turned around and saw a Cuihua skirt and pink plastic sandals with a bow. She went up to pick them up and tried them on her body. The skirt had a light-colored base with small Cui flowers on it, and there were two pockets at the waist to slim it down.
The more Niuniu looked at it, the more she liked it. She looked at Su Xia with hope: "Mom, can I wear it now?"
Su Xia nodded and helped him put on his clothes and sandals.
"Let's go, wash our faces and eat. After eating, we still have to go to the county town."
"Great!... Let's go to the county town..." Niuniu shouted as she washed up, then took a comb and went to look for her mother.
Su Xia took it and naturally braided it into two braids, and put on a small hairpin——
This has a unique flavor to this era.
Then the two of them sat down at the table. Niuniu watched Su Xia prepare a sumptuous breakfast. Her excitement reached its peak this early morning.
"Mom, are all these mine?" It was a bit unbelievable.
Su Xia placed the cake in front of the kid and served him a bowl of noodles: "Eat it, it's all for you. Finish the noodles first, then eat the cake."
As he said this he started eating.
When Niu Niu heard her mother's words, she started to eat the noodles first. The delicious soup was matched with the elastic noodles. She took one bite after another, and then picked up a piece of bacon - wow, it was so delicious!
Finally, he ate the cake bite by bite.
Su Xia watched the kid eat a bowl of noodles, 5 grams of bacon, and no vegetables.
After eating half of the cake, 늀놊 let me eat it.
"Niuniu, eat first. If you eat more, your stomach will hurt. I'll save the cake for you. Eat it when you come back."
Su Xia let Niuniu walk back and forth in the yard by herself while she cleaned up the things quickly.
