Good Farming in Spring - C60

Zhang Liu went to get a basin of water for Chinese milkvetch root, allowing her to wash her face and wash her hands.

“If Aunt doesn’t choose, then I’ll decide for myself.”

He went to the door and patted off the dust on his body. This was a clean shirt that he had specially changed into in the morning, but he was afraid of dirtying the bed that Zhang Liu had made.

Beans immediately lightened her footsteps, scooped water into the kitchen and poured it into a vat. She still wanted to pick up another load, but was stopped by Zhang Liu.

Beans, Mingzi and the others went up the mountain to cut down the trees. They told you to bring back some water so that you could first cut some grass to dry. At night, you can use it on the roof of the house and pick up more water later. If you don’t dry the grass too much, it will rot.

Zhang Liu was already very familiar with Dou Wang’s good home food, and took advantage of the time it took for the beans to eat meat, Zhang Liu went to the warehouse and brought the sickle and rope over.

“Be careful, don’t cut yourself. Ming Zi and the others have already pushed the car away. You can only carry it back by yourself.”

After finishing the meat, Beans wiped her mouth.

“It’s fine. I just cut a few bundles of grass. It won’t take long.”

At the back of Dou Wang’s house, there was a large area of artemisia grass. It was all very lush, and it only took a few steps for them to arrive there.

“Alright, you go and mow the grass. I’ll go cook. Those who are working will be back soon.”

Zhang Liu washed her hands in the water basin again, turned around and started to make porridge. Dou Zhu took a step outside the door, then turned and shouted at Zhang Liu’s back.

“Sister-in-law, this meat is so delicious.”

Hearing her say that, Zhang Liu wanted to reply. When he turned around, she had already ran out of the door, but Zhang Liu shook his head. He was already over 20 years old yet he still looked like a little kid.

Zhang Liu continued to cook, and did not notice Chun Jiao bringing Chun Xiao to chase after Soybean.

“Soybean, wait for us.”

Outside the door, only then did Chun Jiao dare to call out to the Soybean. She also knew that if she were to shout from the courtyard, her mother would definitely not let her go.

“Why did the two of you follow me out? Hurry up and go back. Soybean is going to cut the grass, not play around.”

Dou Zi waved the sickle in her hand and advised the two little ones to return. However, Chun Jiao wasn’t willing to, he had escaped from the courtyard with great difficulty.

“It’s boring for me and my brother to be stuck in the courtyard. We watched as the Soybean cut the grass, and when the Soybean finished, I carried the grass back for the Soybean.”

The little girl spoke with a serious expression, making Bean laugh.

“Alright, then come along with you and Chun Xiao. Remember, you promised to carry the grass back for me.”

However, Chun Jiao seriously wanted to help. He held his little brother’s hand and followed the bean over to the side of the grass.

“You and Chun Xiao can just stay here and play, and don’t follow me. If you hurt me, that would be bad, aconitine would have to give me a good beating.”

Beans made a fist strike, Chun Jiao covered his mouth and laughed. When Chun Xiao saw that Second Sister was happy, he too was happy.

Bean was in a good mood as he went to cut the grass. His sickle danced extremely fast, and in a moment, he had brought down a large area, tied a bundle with a rope, and placed it beside Chun Jiao to pat.

“Sit here with your brother for a while. Soybean will cut another two bundles, we’ll send them back first.”

squatted on the ground, watching the few little ants busy themselves, while Chun Jiao sat on the ground and tied up the grass. He glanced at Soybean and glanced at his little brother, and time quickly passed, Dou Zhu and his two little brothers had already carried over ten bundles of grass on their backs, and outside Dou Wang’s house, the grass was spread all over the ground.

“Bean, it’s about time. Even if we get more, we won’t be able to use it.”

After finishing his meal, Zhang Liu just so happened to see Bean come back with three bundles of artemisia grass on his back. Looking at the amount of artemisia selengensis on the ground, he felt that it should be enough.

“It’s not enough. You have to cover the roof with more grass, otherwise it will leak rain. Also, the roof won’t be able to block the wind even if it’s thinner. After two gales, the roof will be gone.”

At this time, Chun Jiao walked over with a bundle of weeds from behind him. Chun Xiao was also behind his sister with a few stalks of grass in his hand.

“Aiyo, two little ancestors, why did you two go as well? You didn’t cause any trouble for Soybean right?”

Seeing the two children actually run over to cut the grass with beans, really gave Zhang Liu a fright. She worriedly walked over and looked at the siblings, but fortunately, they were not injured.

“She didn’t cause any trouble, but she still helped me with my work. If I don’t let her do it, she won’t rest.”

He thought that this girl was just talking about it, but who would have thought that this five year old girl was actually so stubborn. If she said that she wanted to help, then she must help her.

“As long as you don’t cause any trouble, then how much more do we need to cut?”

Zhang Liu had never built a thatched cottage, but the beans had been built before. When she was playing tricks with Ming Zi in the town, the few of them had done everything before, and at that time, they had gone to find debts for others and earn some money.

“I probably need that much more.”

Dou Zhu wiped off the perspiration on his forehead. Zhang Liu quickly went back to his room to grab a bowl of cold tea.

“Come on, drink a bowl of tea and continue working. It’s not good to sweat so much.”

She then picked up the water bowl and drank it all in one gulp before continuing to mow the grass. This time, Chun Jiao did not follow her.

“Chun Jiao, if you really want to help Soybean with work, then help him rummage through the grass. Sun Legs, as long as you flip through the grass a few more times, you should be able to use it at night.”

Without the two small burdens, Dou Zi’s speed of going back and forth was much faster. When he was feeling that he was almost done with his mission, he heard a rumbling sound coming from afar, and raised his head to look over, only to find that Ming Zi and the other two had returned.

Beans ran over to help with the cart, while Chun Xiao also used his short legs to run over to the cart. Ming Zi quickly took two steps forward and picked up the little fellow.

“Brother aconitine, I’m working, I’m graze with sister.”

He didn’t know why he was tripping. He only knew that his sister was working, and he was helping.

“Chun Xiao is so capable, brother will give him a reward later.”

Hearing that there was a reward, Chun Xiao was happy.

“What reward? Is there anything good to eat?”

In the hearts of children, only good food could be considered as the highest reward.

Mingzi couldn’t stand being teased by him, so he pinched his little face.

“You can enter the house. aconitine will reward you after you finish all the work.”

Putting the little guy down and watching him run into the yard, Ming Zi began to instruct his brothers to unload the wood.

“You’re back. Wash your hands and face first and eat. It’s already past noon.”

Zhang Liu also heard the voice and walked out, but Ming Zi waved his hand.

“Let’s split up the wood first. If we hang it for a while longer, we won’t be able to use it at night.”

If it was a proper building, then the wood should have dried many days. However, it was just a simple building now, and everyone couldn’t wait, so they just hung it for a while and then used it directly. In any case, it wouldn’t last more than two months.

“Then you guys hurry up, I’ll put the dishes on the table first.”

Mingzi and the others nodded together, and then they started to pack up the wood. With more people working, they also worked fast. Bean went back twice to carry the grass. He ended his work, and Mingzi and the others also finished most of the wood.

When the work was finally finished, the young men rushed to wash their faces and wash their hands. At this time, Chinese milkvetch root had also woken up, he had slept long enough, and had finally calmed down.

“Mom, you’re awake. How do you feel?”

When Ming Zi saw his mother walk out, he knew that she had just woken up, so he quickly went up to her. What he was worried about the most was her body.

Zhang Liu has given me a new blanket. Xuanxuan is so soft, it’s hard to even mention how comfortable she is. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have slept for such a long time.

The Chinese milkvetch root had truly rested well. Mingzi could clearly see the state his mother was in.

“That’s good. Let’s go eat.”

As he helped his mother to the table, he saw that the dishes had already been prepared. A big bowl of rice porridge had been steamed, mixed with two other dishes.

“Sister-in-law, aren’t you giving us all the meat? “That won’t do.”

When Bean saw the bowl of meat of deer cooking, he almost drooled. It was just that he felt that it was a little too much, this was clearly giving Sister-in-law a lot of trouble.

It’s not a big deal, I just made it for you guys to eat. It’s hot right now and the meat can’t be put on the shelf, so I’m a little regretful that you didn’t bring some for the two of you when you left yesterday. Luckily, you came today.

When he heard that she wanted him to take him back with her yesterday, Mingzi went to see her. Ever since he heard her talk about her and her mother, Mingzi became very curious about her. He wanted to know what kind of woman would be disliked by her family.

Such a kind and capable girl, why would she let someone like that bully her? She did not do anything wrong, why would she be abandoned and thrown out of the house? Luckily she had a considerate and powerful daughter like Chun Wen, and that family was really blind.
