Chapter 12

Dacao hurriedly took his hand out of his mouth, and wiped it randomly on the haystack behind him.

Gou Sheng sighed, forget it, all the children in the village grow up like this...

The few acres of wasteland in the family are planted with good-growing corn and sorghum. Liu Datie and Li Dahua take care of them every day, weeding, watering, and catching insects over and over again. The urine and chicken manure in the house are carefully collected. In a wooden barrel, when the crops are eared, you can count on this little fertilizer to work harder!So even the big grass is so big, if you want to go to the toilet when you are playing outside, remember to run home...

Even with only six or seven acres of dry land, Liu Datie and his wife are busy enough, and the family is leftover with a few children.

The best time to dig wild vegetables is only in March and April. When the weather warms up completely and the wild vegetables are too old to be eaten, Gousheng will start busying the vegetable gardens in the front and back yards of his house.

After Gou Sheng explained to Zhu Tou several times, Zhu Tou finally remembered the points to pay attention to when playing with Yang Lingyi, and the two quickly got together. Xiaocao, who was learning to walk, let Gousheng and Dacao go out to play by themselves, just remember to bring some tender grass and earthworms back at night.

"You give the chicken something to eat every day, so the chicken will lay eggs quickly! Then the big brother will cook the chicken for you!"

As expected, Zhu Tou and Dacao still remembered this incident no matter how crazy they played.

Gousheng picks out small earthworms for a few days every day, puts them in a big earthen jar and buries them in soil, hoping to keep them until winter...

"Brother, brother——brother..."

Gou Sheng hugged Xiao Cao and looked at the chickens, not allowing them to enter the vegetable garden to spoil the vegetable seedlings. While teaching Xiao Cao to speak, there was a loud shout from outside the fence.

"Gousheng, Gousheng, are you at home?"

"Here you are, Aunt Liu, what's the matter?" Gou Sheng opened the fence door and asked.

Standing outside was the woman who lived next door. She glanced left and right like a thief before continuing to ask, "Gousheng, where are your parents?"

"Mother went to catch insects, and father went to chop firewood. What do you want?"

There was firewood last winter, but at least it was not frozen in the house, and there was always a mouthful of hot water to drink. This year, Li Dahua urged Liu Datie to go to the mountains to cut some firewood as soon as possible.

"Tell your mother to go and have a look at the field on your river beach. Wang Chunhua said that your family has planted beyond the border, and they are going to pull out your corn!" Aunt Liu said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, don't let the corn grow." It's hard to call auntie!"

"Ah, oh, I see..." Gou Sheng replied.

Most of the family's rations depend on those few acres of land. Hearing that someone wants to pull out his own seedlings, he still feels anxious.

"Stigma, stigma—" Gou Sheng stood at the entrance of the yard and shouted loudly.

"Brother, what are you calling me for?" Zhutou ran back dragging a willow branch.

"Watch the chicken, Zhutou, I have something to do with my mother, and I'll get my little sister to pee later!" Gou Sheng hurriedly explained a few words, and ran to the field in a hurry.

At the end of May, the sorghum and corn had grown tall. With a nine-month-old belly, Li Dahua carefully inspected each sorghum, leaf by leaf repeatedly.

"Mother! Mother!" Gou Sheng shouted standing at the top of the field.

"Hey, what are you shouting for!" Li Dahua inserted a wooden stick next to the seedling that he had just inspected as a mark, carefully avoiding the crops, and walked out.

"Mother, Aunt Liu said that others said that the corn planting in our field has crossed the border..." Gou Sheng said the matter again.

When Li Dahua heard it, he almost didn't jump up, "Shit, we have been planting these years, but we have never heard such a statement..."

When Li Dahua arrived at her cornfield, the corn near the west end had been pulled out.

"Which black-hearted person did this wicked thing, why didn't God take him away with a thunderstorm..." Li Dahua stood at the head of the field and cursed.

At this time, Lizheng was taking measurements at the other end with Wang Chunhua's family!

The piece of land here on the river beach was owned by Liu Datie's ancestors. It was not sold to the landlord Yang because it was not fertile enough. Liu Datie has taken good care of it for the past few years, and it is already considered an above-average field in Liushutun.

The land next to this land used to be Grandma's land, and Grandma couldn't grow it. These years, it was rented out to people in the village. A few days ago, Gou Sheng also heard that Grandma Sun led her eldest grandson to change tenants this year. Because there was no agreement for a while, the land for spring sowing this year was vacant—but Gousheng’s family didn’t take it to heart. I didn’t expect that the renter was a difficult person to get along with. I rented a field, and I specially invited it. Come over and measure.

"Mother, if you have something to say, Li Chang is here!" Gou Sheng hurriedly pulled Li Dahua's sleeve to remind him.

"Bah——" Li Dahua spat forcefully on the ground, after all he didn't dare to confront the head of the village, and said, "Lizheng, what's going on? The crops in my field are growing well, It’s just such a waste, isn’t this poaching people’s hearts and minds!”

"Hey, look at what Sister-in-Law Liu said, according to this, this part of the land should be planted for you for free. I have measured it clearly with the head of the village. This west head has been planted in our realm!" Wang Chunhua smoothed her hair and said in a strange way.

"Bullshit, I've been farming this land for decades, and it's over the limit if you come here alone!" Li Dahua didn't dare to scold Li Zheng, but she was not afraid of Wang Chunhua.

Wang Chunhua is one of the few stove-guarding girls in the village. None of her brothers took care of her. There is only one daughter left in the family who will be raised as a son since she was a child. She is going to give birth and recruit a husband.I just got married the year before last, and I heard that she was submissive to her man...

"What nonsense, you are farting..." Wang Chunhua immediately choked back.

……

The two immediately started scolding each other, and soon there were spectators around.

"What's the matter, Gousheng?" Darong came over and asked Li Qingyuan in his arms.

This land belongs to Mrs. Sun, and someone must have talked about it, so Da Rong naturally wanted to come and have a look.

Li Qingyuan was held in Darong's arms, twitching dishonestly, poking his head out to look into the crowd.

Gou Sheng sighed and said the matter again.

"Forget it, Liu Datie's family, Wang Chunhua, listen to me, measure the boundary today, lay a good stake, don't talk about the previous..."

"Is it easy for my buds to grow so big? Which one hasn't been touched several times..." Li Dahua yelled persistently.

"It's reasonable for you to occupy someone else's place..."

"Where did you occupy, huh? You said..."

This is the crux of the matter. Those corn seedlings, which were half the height of a person, happened to be planted on the boundary, but they were almost pulled out by Wang Chunhua!

Because of such a small matter, the two of them quarreled with you and me in the field until their faces were red.

Lizheng said a few words that didn't work, just asked the man Wang Chunhua to drive a few piles at a certain distance on the well-measured boundary, patted his sleeves and went back-if the fart is too big, Lizheng will take care of it, the old man will Not exhausted!

Gou Sheng picked up some tender corn stalks.

"Come on, Xiaoyuan, take it and eat it!"

Li Qingyuan looked at Darong suspiciously.

Sure enough, it's not a child from the village, who hasn't even eaten corn stalks!

"Thank you!" Darong peeled off the leaves carefully before giving them to Li Qingyuan, "It's delicious, bite off the skin, chew the water inside, and spit out the dregs..."

When the two of them quarreled enough, things still didn't end well.

Gou Sheng held the corn stalks in one hand, and supported Li Dahua, who was still cursing, towards the house with the other...

"Stigma, stigma—"

The necks of the chickens eating in the vegetable field were round and round, not to mention the half-sized vegetable seedlings, even the old garlic seedlings were pecked totters!

Gousheng jumped up and shouted, in order to take care of the vegetable garden for the past two months, he didn't even open the door, because no matter how tight the fence is, those few hens can always get out of the hole!

The column head ran out of the house in a panic.

"What's the matter? Didn't I still tell you to catch the chicken?" The dog hopped his feet angrily.

"I, I..." Zhutou babbled for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"Brat, what else can I do besides eating, I can't do anything well!" Li Dahua stepped forward and slapped him.

The stigma twisted his body reflexively and dodged it.

"Mother! Mother! Don't do anything!" Gou Sheng hurriedly pulled Li Dahua again.

At this time, Xiaocao's cry came from the house.

"What's wrong with Xiaocao?" Gou Sheng asked vigilantly.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose, brother! I didn't pay attention for a while, and the little sister peed wet. I thought, I wanted to change her clothes..." Zhutou fled a few steps to the side before saying.

"He really can't do anything!" Gousheng stomped his feet, and hurried into the house to take a look, "I'll go and see Xiaocao, mother, you and Zhutou drive the chicken out!"

Xiaocao was placed on the pit with her bare buttocks, without a cover, and was so cold that she cried.

Gou Sheng hurriedly unfolded half of the rolled up bedding, and wrapped her in the small bag that pulled Xiaocao, "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, wait a minute, big brother will teach your little brother..."

"Mom, mother, what's wrong with you..."

Gousheng hadn't settled Xiaocao in place yet, and there was another panicked cry from outside.

"Gousheng, hurry, hurry up and call your Granny Wen over..."

Gou Sheng walked out with Xiaocao in his arms, while Li Dahua was clutching his stomach and trying to move into the woodshed.

There, when Li Dahua entered the ninth month of pregnancy, Liu Datie had already prepared the delivery bed.

"Stigma, look at the little sister!" Gou Sheng stuffed Xiaocao into Zhutou's arms, hurriedly supported Li Dahua with all his strength, and supported her into the firewood room.

It is said to be a delivery bed, but in fact it is just a layer of burnt plant ash on the bottom, then a layer of hay, and a few pieces of rags on top.

Li Dahua panted and sat down, probably because she was a little excited today, and the fetus in her stomach was not stable!

Liu Datie is hopeless. Today, he finally borrowed a two-wheeled vehicle. He will definitely try his best to chop as much firewood as possible. He will never get home unless he can’t see clearly. It’s too late to go to the mountains to find it now...

"Mother, hold on, I'll call someone right away!" Thick beads of sweat appeared on Gou Sheng's anxious forehead, and he told Li Dahua to lie down, and ran out, "Stigma, take the little sister to the burning house!" water!"

"it is good……"

Gou Sheng has already run out of the yard.

"Aunt Liu, Auntie, my mother is about to give birth, please go and see for me, I'll call Granny Wen over..."

"It's about to give birth! I understand, you go!" Aunt Liu next door responded, and hurried over.

……

Li Dahua was a strong woman who had given birth to five more babies (one died before a month, and was buried in a random place without worship), and this one was also surprisingly smooth. When it got dark, when Liu Datie got home, he already had a young son.

Aunt Liu went back after Li Dahua gave birth, and Mrs. Wen kindly stayed to help take care of her for a while.

"Thank you, please go slowly..." Liu Datie didn't even have time to drink, he touched two copper coins and sent Mrs. Wen out of the door.

Gou Sheng casually cooked some porridge with dried vegetables and miscellaneous grains for dinner.

Liu Datie picked up a bowl of the thickest one and took it to the woodshed to feed Li Dahua first.

"...Wang Chunhua, I can't stop talking to her..." Li Dahua gobbled it up while talking to Liu Datie about what happened this afternoon.

"Well, you eat slowly, there are still..."

"That field doesn't belong to her family, she rented it and planted it..." Li Dahua continued angrily.

"Okay, okay, you just gave birth to a baby, don't get mad, I'll pick up my mother-in-law tomorrow and take care of you for a few days..."

Dacao didn't know where he had been playing all day, and only came back dirty when it was dark, not knowing how busy the house was!

Gou Sheng cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned up the little ones, rushed to the kang, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He had to work with Liu Datie in the dark to remove the firewood from the car—the car had to be returned to someone else tomorrow Woolen cloth!

"Father, are you still going to work in the town in a few days?"

When Gousheng moved the smaller ones, Liu Datie carried the big dead wooden stakes, and the two of them went back and forth more than a dozen times before finishing the move.

Liu Datie also carefully cleaned up all the wood debris in the carriage.

"Well, you can find some work before the tassels come out." Liu Datie replied after taking a big sip of water, "You still want to follow?"

"No, I'll help my mother take care of my little brother at home, and I'll go to Jiaxing City with you after the food is collected." Gou Sheng poured out the footwashing water and said.

"Well, you go to bed first, I'll go see your mother again!"

……

A good night's sleep.

Last night was in chaos, and Gou Sheng didn't have time to look carefully at the vegetable garden. He went in early in the morning and walked around, but he didn't expect to have a pleasant surprise.

Two little pink eggs lay in the vegetable patch.

Li Dahua saw it, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Xiao Liu's name was immediately decided as Egg.

Liu Datie hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of porridge for breakfast, and then went out to Lijiatun to invite Mrs. Li Dahua, and it took a long time to go back and forth.

The stigma and the big grass swallowed saliva around the two eggs placed on the stove.

Gousheng was busy for a while before he remembered, and took out some corn stalks he brought back yesterday, "Here, each person takes one to eat, pay attention to your clothes, if you get dirty again, you will wait until you are naked." Son, let's see how sorry you are!"
