Otherworldly Days

God is still saving face, after a few rains, the land in the field is wet, the old man is driving the ox to plow the field, and the plow is ready to plant something.The young men in the village have gone to work, and the old man in the family is in charge of the field work. In Caojia Village, as long as the whole family works hard, life will gradually improve.

The weather here is similar to the climate in the north, and most of the crops are harvested once a year.

After June, the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and the hours of sunshine are getting shorter and shorter.After autumn, the temperature here will gradually decrease. In winter, the weather will be very cold, and there will be no living things in the fields. Therefore, the lack of food in this world is not unreasonable. The natural climate here is also much harsher.

Most of the food grown in the fields behind here are crops that are durable to storage. People will grow things like peanuts, beans, soil eggs, Chinese cabbage, and radishes. These things will be piled up and eaten all winter. When the snow melts early next year, people will eat will come out of the house.

The winter here is too cold. If there is heavy snow, you can't even go out. At this time, everyone is already preparing food for the winter.So the current behavior of people is similar to the most primitive inability of animals to store food for winter.

Cao Xiangnan also deeply understands the difference between this world and his original one. This is the first winter he will spend in this world, and he has to prepare in advance.Taking advantage of the fact that he can still grow vegetables, he told Chen Hong that he would increase the amount of vegetables collected in the future and let everyone grow some vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and radishes.Otherwise, when the weather gets cold later, there will be no vegetables to grow in the fields, and even if he has money and wants to collect vegetables, he has nowhere to collect them.

He has to prepare the pickled vegetables at Yipinzhai for the next few months. I'm afraid that there will be no fresh vegetables to eat in winter, and these things will be sold more.

Because beans are worthless and can’t be sold for a price, and people don’t eat these things very much at home, so few people grow them.Cao Xiangnan felt that the main reason was that people didn't know how to eat, so he asked Chen Hong to let the word out that he harvested soybeans and mung beans, and then someone would naturally grow them.

Thinking of the long winter without fresh vegetables to eat, Cao Xiangnan was thinking about what to grow to eat. Bean sprouts in winter must be indispensable and the easiest to grow. When he was a child, he planted bean sprouts with his grandmother , this thing is grown in almost every household in their village.But besides growing bean sprouts, he might be able to grow some other things, and now he has to start preparing in advance.

Thinking that in the world thousands of years later, even in winter, there will still be all kinds of vegetables in the supermarket. He deeply hates the backwardness of this world, but he has no choice but to prepare everything he thinks of in advance.

As soon as Chen Hong said that Cao Silang was collecting beans, someone personally found Chen Hong and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Cao Silang has said that as long as the land is good for farming, all of them will be harvested. Everyone can just plant with peace of mind." Chen Hong walks around the village a lot now, and he is responsible for Cao Silang's harvesting in the village. As for the cooking, I am familiar with the buddies in the village.With the exception of a few families he really disliked, he was on good terms with most of them.

The third master's family dared to approach him and ask him why he didn't accept his food, but he was not happy, and he didn't accept it, what can you do!Cao Mingjuan was so angry that the fat brother couldn't speak, so he relieved his anger a lot.

Now in Cao’s Village, those who have grown vegetables in the field will talk to Chen Hong, and when they are ready, they will sell them to Chen Hong, and they don’t have to worry about the things they planted rotting in the field and no one wants them, they can sell them for a while. good price.

For the few families in the village, everyone knew who they were, and everyone gradually alienated those families.They look down on them because they live in big tiled houses made of green bricks. When they build big tiled houses made of green bricks next year, you still have a large family living in a dilapidated house. Then we will see who looks down on whom!

I learned from Chen Hong that Cao Silang collects beans, and the price is the same as that of brown rice, which is quite a lot at two Wen a catty.After discussing it at home, everyone decided to plant a few acres of beans, and when the time comes, they can be sold for a lot of money.

When the fruit is ripe in July, a large area of ​​the mountain is ripe with fruit. At this time in previous years, many people from the village rush into the mountain to pick some fruits and sell them for money. This year, not so many people go to the mountain to pick fruits. Yes, but there are still a few who will go to the mountains to pick fruits. There are fewer people who pick fruits, and they can sell them for a few dollars.

A few people passing by the door of Cao's Silang left a small handful of peaches, and the children playing in the yard took two in each hand, and ran inside in a swarm.Seeing that each of the children came in with two fruits, Qi Wanfeng asked curiously, "Who gave it to you?"

Everyone pointed to the door and said that someone gave it to them. Qi Wanfeng went out, but there was no one there. He knew that people from the village went to the mountain to pick fruits, and they passed by here to give them to the children. Baskets were packed for the children to wash and let the children eat.

"Did you thank them for the things they gave?" Qi Wanfeng asked.

"Have."

"Have."

A group of children responded crisply, and they all learned these rules from Uncle Nan's house.

Hearing what the children said, Qi Wanfeng laughed and taught the children, "Next time they will give you something to eat, don't take it. They will sell it for money. If you eat it, others will eat it." It’s less money to sell. If you want to eat, come and ask me to buy it with money, you know?”

Older children understand this truth, and younger gluttons will keep in mind what they have heard.Hearing the children say "yes" one after another, Qi Wanfeng let the children go out to play.

He seldom goes to the town now, and even if he goes to the shop, he can't help, so as not to cause trouble for everyone.There are also many things at home, Qi Wanfeng stayed at home to take care of the house, and by the way, he could watch a group of children at home.

"For Eminem." An An gave Eminem the extra fruit, which he took for Eminem.

"Give it to uncle." Xiangzi gave the extra one to uncle, and Xing Xing gave the extra one, but didn't say anything.

"Good boy." Qi Wanfeng smiled and patted the heads of a few children, knowing that they were all well-behaved and sensible, "Go out and play, Xiangzai, watch your brothers."

"Yeah." Xiangzi was very happy that he could take care of his brothers, he liked this task.

Now they finish reading in the morning and can play in the yard in the afternoon. There are many things to play in the yard, and they like it here.They like to study now, and they don't like to study with their husband in school.

When the sun in the afternoon is not so strong, sometimes adults will take them out. They each have a small back basket, and they go out to cut vegetables and come back to feed rabbits, sheep, and white. They can also be in the field. After digging the mud and tenderlings, I came back to feed the chickens. The eggs laid by the hens are big. They like to eat goat milk custard, and the egg tarts made by Uncle Xiangnan are delicious, and they all love to eat them.

Uncle Xiang Nan said that if you want to eat delicious food, you should work hard. They all remembered what Uncle Xiang Nan said.So without Cao Xiangnan knowing, he took a group of children to the road of snacks.

Now the children of several families are here with Cao Silang, and the mothers of several families are very good at life. Although they know that Cao Silang has everything now, those who have eggs at home will bring a basket of eggs and pick two from the field. Those who have one dish will also send two dishes, in short, it is all from the heart.

Qi Wanfeng couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it. He told Fulang about it later, and his husband just smiled and asked him to accept it. He accepted all the things sent by the next few families. , Come back and give them something else to eat and go back.

The children giggling and making noise came from the yard, and the two dogs also liked to join in the fun, running behind the children.

The two little puppies I brought back at the beginning have grown up now and can look after the house.

The scorching sun in July is like a fire. In the afternoon, the sun gradually moves westward, and the temperature slowly drops. There is still residual heat on the ground. After the road from the village to Fenshui Town was built with more manpower, the land for road construction is getting worse. Soon.This is after Cao Xiangnan discussed with Lizheng, he asked Lizheng to discuss with the headmen of the neighboring villages, Lizheng, to see if there are capable men in the village who can work together to build roads. Ten big money a day is for some people It's a lot to say, and naturally some people are willing to do it.

There are intermarriages in several nearby villages. There is a brother in their village who married into Caojia Village. Naturally, they also know that there is a Cao Silang in Caojia Village. He leads the people in the village to do business, and the vegetables grown in the village are also harvested. The natal family also asked their married brother to ask if they could help sell the vegetables they grew.

In this era, there are no machines, and we can only rely on manpower. Fortunately, there are many people gathered together, and many people are strength.

Going in and out every day, Cao Xiangnan can see the progress of the road most intuitively. Originally, he wanted to repair the road before winter, and he was afraid that it would be completed by the end of next month.

Anyway, to make the road long and short, the money is still the same. It is better to find more people to repair it, and repair the road as soon as possible, so that it will be much more convenient for everyone to enter and exit later.The carriage running on the repaired road was obviously much smoother and faster than the unrepaired section.

The clatter of horseshoes sounded, and the people who went to the town also came back at this time. The rice at home was almost used up, and they went to the grain store to buy a lot of grain and came back.The carriage stopped, and everyone got out of the carriage and removed all the things on the carriage.

A group of bratty children ran over, and the children from several families were full of enthusiasm when they saw Dad coming back.

Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of the children, and drove away a group of little guys who were in the way. They couldn't help with heavy things, and let them go over there to play with them.

"Fu Lang, you are back." Qi Wanfeng heard the voice, walked out from inside, and smiled when he saw Fu Lang who came back.

"Yeah." Shaking off the sweat on his forehead, Cao Xiangnan felt that seeing his daughter-in-law was no longer suffering or tired at this time, "Don't come here, lest I bump into you." He went in with a bag of rice on his shoulder, now He usually doesn't do this kind of heavy work for Wanfeng.

Now that his body is getting heavier, Qi Wanfeng also knows where his abilities are, so he doesn't dare to force himself.This time the baby was no better than when Huai An was in peace. I don't know if someone spoiled her, but her body became more and more delicate, and she couldn't move anything.But this pregnancy almost died when it was conceived, so he pays more attention now.

It didn't take long for the two carts of rice to go inside, and Cao Dapeng led his two boys back home.The two boys bid farewell to their friends, and left with Dad reluctantly.

Sun Yanshan, who had finished selling things in the town, came home, and his mother asked when Sun would be back.Sun Yanshan knew that Ah Mu missed Ah Ji, "Ah Mu, Ah Ji won't be back until some time later." As a father, he didn't miss Er, but he knew that Er was promising now and could go far. He also won't drag Xu'er away from home.

If it will take some time for the old grandma to come back after getting Sun, she will feel that the food will not taste so delicious, and Sun Yanshan will coax grandma with a wry smile.The old man didn't say he missed grandson, but he thought about it in his heart.

After entering the house, Cao Xiangnan sat down, and his child came over with a peach in his hands, "Give it to uncle." Xiangzai gave him the peach left for Uncle Xiangnan. He gave him the biggest peach, and he ate the small one. of.

"Thank you, where did you come from?" Cao Xiangnan took it, took An'an with one hand and put it next to him, pulled Xiangzi to sit down, and sat down with his star.

Cao Gang also sat down on the opposite sofa. His family Jing Bao was a dishonest person who ran off before his butt reached the chair, and Kang Kang followed Dad.They came in, and so did the friends who followed.

"Uncle gave it." Several children said in a hurry.

When Qi Wanfeng came in from the outside and heard it, he explained with a smile, "It's not that the peaches on the mountain are ripe now. Someone went into the mountain to pick the fruit. I guess they passed by and saw a few small ones, and gave them a few for each of them."

"Oh." Cao Xiangnan looked at the little peach in his hand, took a sip, the taste was still sweet, and raised his eyebrows.

Instead, he remembered that peaches could be dried in the sun to make dried peaches. At this time, there were peaches all over the mountains and plains.Thinking about this place for so long, at most he just went for a walk at the foot of the mountain. He hadn't been up the mountain yet, and it happened that there was nothing important tomorrow, so Cao Xiangnan mentioned to Cao Gang that he wanted to go to the mountain.

"Well, Cheng, I'll go with you tomorrow." The hunter who went hunting in the mountains hadn't been in the mountains for a long time, but his hands were itchy. When he heard about going into the mountains, Orion Cao's eyes lit up. "Bring the two dogs with you when the time comes." Seeing the two dogs squatting aside, Cao Orion called their names.

The two well-behaved dogs have grown into pets that can wag their tails. Cao Xiangnan felt inexplicably guilty about this, "Okay."
