The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 234: Getting Up Early and Staying Up Late

When the sun was about to set, the vegetable field had already been watered. Yan Zhenshen divided the field into ridges and began to dig holes. Chu Xiao put the seedlings into the holes one by one, and Yan Sanmei followed behind to cover the soil.

After the seedlings were planted, they took out the vegetable seeds. Huang Guangchu Xiao only planted a few nests, but he did plant more cucumbers.

Since my family loves to eat beans, Chu Xiao planted two more rows. If they can’t finish them, they can be cut and dried.

After planting all these, there are still a lot of seeds left. Chu Xiao plans to take them to the mountains to plant. As long as he is careful not to let them be eaten by insects, he will still be able to harvest some. This can also be used as a reserve food for his space.

While they were planting, Zhao Guizhi brought over a bag of peanut seeds, which she had soaked in advance so they could be planted directly in the ground.

When Yan Sanmei saw the peanuts, she thought of the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown by other people. She hurried to the woodshed to take a look, and actually found a few potatoes that had sprouted.

"Mom, the potatoes have sprouted, let's plant some too." It's a pity that there are no sweet potatoes at home.

"If there is spare space, then plant some." Zhao Guizhi also responded.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are considered high-yield species in this area. They can be stored in the cellar for the entire winter, so many people grow them.

Originally, Zhao Guizhi was thinking of planting one acre of land this year, but Xiaoge'er's acres of dry land were all bought to build a house, and the land bought last year was all paddy fields.

Xiao Ge'er usually gives Zhao Guizhi a lot of household allowance, now it has dozens of taels of silver. Originally, she was going to give the silver to Chu Xiao when building the house, but Chu Xiao said that they had enough silver and asked her to keep it for herself.

Although having silver in hand is a good thing, eight or ten taels is fine, but too much makes her feel uneasy, for she is afraid that if she doesn't keep an eye on it, it will be stolen.

Didn't Chu Laoer's house get robbed last year? Although everyone in the village said that Li Xiulan was the one crying "stop thief", Zhao Guizhi felt that it was most likely that the house was really robbed by the thief.

So she usually didn't dare to leave home for too long. During the busy spring season, she had to go to the fields to work, so she let Yan Zhengdao stay at home.

Even though Yan Zhengdao was new to wheelchairs at that time, he could only drive around in front of his house.

While Zhao Guizhi was cutting the potatoes into small pieces according to the sprouting point, she was thinking that she still had to buy some dry land. Even if it wasn't much, an acre would be enough to plant some potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts, which would be enough for her family to eat in winter.

It would be even better if there was more dry land, and we could grow some wheat there. The land deed would then be given to Xiao Ge'er. After all, the money was given by the couple for household expenses.

As for the second son...he would never get married anyway, so she didn't want to worry about him.

After the crops in the backyard were planted, Zhao Guizhi went to cook. Chu Xiao bought two kilograms of mutton today and planned to make a mutton soup pot tonight.

The taste would be better if some wild vegetables were added, but those picked yesterday had already been taken to the county town to be sold, so Zhao Guizhi called her third sister and Chu Xiao to go and have a look to see if they could bring back some.

By this time the sun had already set, the clouds on the western hills were dyed red, and the sunset glow was colorful and very beautiful.

At this moment, some diligent people were still weeding in the fields. When they saw the fire clouds, they couldn't help but sigh: "It hasn't rained yet, and the crops in the fields are almost drying up."

A man in another field echoed, "Yes, there was a lot of rain in the spring in previous years."

Chu Xiao listened to their conversation and looked up at the sky. It seemed that it had not rained for a long time.

Fortunately, the snow accumulated last year was thick, and when the spring came the snow melted and the soil absorbed enough water. Otherwise, without rain for such a long time, the seedlings in the field would have dried up beyond recognition.

Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the rain didn't continue, there would be a severe drought. Then the grain production would decrease and every family would have a hard time.

He thought about the supplies in his space and still felt that they were too little. He hoped that this year would be a good year for good weather and good harvests, which would at least give him time to fill up his space.

Yan Sanmei found a patch of wild vegetables and called him, and Chu Xiao came to his senses and followed her to pick wild vegetables.

When it was completely dark, the two of them picked half a basket, which was enough for tonight's meal.

Yan Zhenshen had just fed the livestock in the backyard and was covered in mud from digging the ground.

Chu Xiao's shoes were also covered in mud, and he wanted to take a bath: "Brother Shen, when I was fetching water today, I felt that the river water was not that cold. How about we go take a dip?"

"If you want to take a bath, I'll go back to the yard and boil water for you." Yan Zhenshen scraped the mud off his shoes with a stick, and then changed into a pair of straw sandals.

"Then wash it at night."

Chu Xiao also guessed that his brother Shen would definitely not agree. Although the temperature has warmed up now, the water in the river is just not cold enough to freeze your hands. It will definitely still feel cold when taking a bath.

Seeing his reluctance, Yan Zhenshen smiled dotingly: "Then I'll go boil some water for you first."

The bathtub in the courtyard was bought by Yan Zhenshen in the town. It was bigger than the one he bought in the mountain, and naturally used more water. However, there was a plug under the bathtub. Once it was pulled out, the water would flow away on its own, saving the trouble of pouring water back and forth.

In summer, water can flow freely, even if it fills the whole yard, but it will freeze in winter, so Yan Zhenshen is thinking of taking time to dig a channel for the water to flow.

At that time, connect a few thick bamboos to allow the water to flow directly to the outside of the yard. If it freezes in winter, just replace the bamboo strips.

Chu Xiao thought it was a good idea after hearing him say that, but now the ground of their courtyard was paved with stone slabs, so it would be quite difficult to dig a channel.

Besides, a wall will be built around the old house tomorrow, and Brother Shen will have to go over and help with the work. After the wall is built, they will start digging a well.

There is also the jujube tree that he promised to his third sister, and the puppy that looks after the old house. These things really come one after another. I wonder when he will be able to go to the mountain to plant ginseng.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sun came out, Wang Wu and a few young men hurried to the Yan family's new yard.

Some people came to see it when the beams were put up, but this was their first time to come after the house was actually completed.

Because there was a girl at home, they didn't dare to walk around and just stood in the yard and watched.

This big yard is really enviable.

Yan Zhenshen got up early that day. As soon as they arrived, he took them to the old house. Since they were all villagers and the distance was not far, they brought whatever hoes and shovels they had at home.

It is early now, the air is moist and cool, it is a good time to work. They come early and take a break when the sun is high at noon, and then continue working in the afternoon.

It was almost the middle of the month, and the moonlight was good these few days, so it was possible to work at night. Wang Wu even joked with Yan Zhenshen: "Let's get up early and work late, and we will definitely be able to finish the work in three or four days."

Chu Xiao, who came to deliver water, couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said: "He really gets up early and goes to bed late."

His brother Shen had not returned home until 11pm for two nights in a row.
