Chapter 31
After the two went back, it was already a quarter of a hour, and it was getting dark in winter. Although only quarter of day, the sky outside was all dark . The two of them hurriedly went into the house and grilled for a charcoal fire, and then their energies eased. Xu Cao cooked rice porridge and heated the steamed buns in the morning.
When the two went out, Miao Miao was placed with Shen's. Now the little guy saw her parents come back, wearing a thick cotton coat and staggering down the eaves into the kitchen like a bloated little bear. Seeing Xu Cao's and Fugui, she grinned ,
"Miao ... Niangniang, father."
Xu Cao replied, and pulled the little girl to the stove, and said with a smile : "Why don't Miao Miao play with brother? Is it?"
Miao Miao narrowed her mouth and frowned, "Brother is asleep." It seemed that she was ashamed of the behavior of Brother, and he fell asleep playing with her.
Xu Cao touched the cold hand of the little girl, and hurriedly took her little hand and stretched out towards the stove, "Miao Miao will play with Father for a while, okay? mother is here to cook, and you can eat after cooking. "
Miao Miao stood next to Fugui, and said happily: "Okay."
Xu Cao fried a shredded radish again, and the pickled cabbage was almost ready, and the wild boar was stewed with the cabbage mixed with vermicelli. The wild boar has been eaten for a month, and now most of it is left, all hanging in the kitchen and locked up. Fortunately, it's cold, and it won't break.
At this time, on the night of the New Year’s Eve, they don't have to kowtow as they did in previous life, and now they rest early after eating. Xu Cao is already very satisfied with having such a good New Year's meal. I am afraid that many places will not be able to eat like today.
Fugui held his wife, smelled the faint smell of her body, and let out a sigh of contentment. He touched and squeezed his wife again, and laughed happily. The wife has some meat on her body, and it seems that the wife has been raising well during this time. That's how it should be in women's homes, eat well, raise fat, and thin ones don't look good.
Xu Cao blushed and whispered, "My husband, go to bed soon, stop making trouble."
Fugui chuckled, and held Xu Cao's hands tightly, "Wife you feel so comfortable to touch."
Xu Cao blushed, turned around and twisted his waist, and whispered: "Go to bed quickly, and be careful to wake up Miao Miao."
"Well, wife, let's sleep." There was a big tent on Fugui lower body, and his heart was still a little depressed.
"En." Xu Cao faced Fugui and generous chest and replied sullenly.
Fugui held his wife. He doesn’t know if it was because of the hot kang fever. He just felt that his whole body was very hot. The erection root became more and more disobedient, and he frequently pressed his wife’s thighs, and he whispered: " Wife..."
"What are you doing...?" Xu Cao was also very nervous. She could feel that hard object was ready to go, and she couldn't help but jump with fright. Fugui won't do anything to her at this time. Well, she wants to grow for a few more months.
Fugui felt the breath squirting out of his wife's mouth, and there was another restlessness in his lower body, and he couldn't help it anymore. In the darkness, he gnawed his little mouth towards his wife. He licked his wife's small mouth first, and then he began to gnaw. Xu Cao hummed twice, her body was a little soft, and she didn't know whether she should refuse.
While hesitating, he opened her teeth with his tongue, licked and sucked her lilac uvula. Xu Cao was kissed like this for the first time, and only felt that her body was getting softer, and couldn't help but pant in his arms. Fugui seemed to be encouraged, and the big hand reached in from her robes and touched the two slightly plump little peaches.
She did not know when Xu Cao’s obscene clothes were taken away by him. Fugui gnawed down her pink neck, and came all the way to the two little peaches. After biting, licking and kissing for a while, he felt Xu Cao’s tenderness. The panting became heavier, and then he reached out and touched her profane pants.
Xu Cao’s skin exposed to the space was covered with goose bumps, and her body became softer, but she knew that it was too late if she didn’t stop him, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed the rough big hand that touched her trousers, and gasped: "Xiang.. Xianggong, no.. I want it."
Fugui took a breath and took a few breaths. Then he got up from Xu Cao and said, "I.. I will go to the hut." He said, hurriedly. Get up, put on his clothes and get up.
Xu Cao was taken aback for a while before she blushed and got into the bed. She seemed to have thought of something, and was busy getting out of the quilt again, and she was relieved to see Miao Miao sleeping soundly inside.
After a while, Fugui returned, took off his shoes, went to the kang, and fell asleep with Xu Cao in his arms.
Xu Cao was a little uneasy. Hearing the sound of Fugui steadily breathing, she suddenly felt whether she was cruel, but thinking that she was only fourteen years old, she felt a little awkward. After thinking about this for most of the night, she fell asleep in a daze.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Fugui the next day, but Xu Cao felt that he was a little embarrassed, and talked to her a little shiningly, as if he had done something wrong.
It took another seven or eight days for the heavy snow to slowly start to shrink. Xu Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this heavy snow should have stopped.
Sure enough, after another two days, the snow stopped, but the heavy snow outside was so thick that it reached the thigh.
The snow has not melted, and the road is still closed. Chen Ru naturally can't walk. She can only stay here for a few more days. Fortunately, these days are sunny. Every day, only the sound of water dripping under the eaves can be heard. . Chen Ru rarely went to see Shen and Xu Cao. She stayed in Chen's room every day, chatting and laughing with Chen, sewing and mending, Chen liked her even more.
Looking at the falling snow water outside, Chen sighed, took Chen Ru's hand, and said: "Ru'er, if I had a good daughter like you, it would be nice, obedient and sensible. . It’s really not good. You can be my daughter-in-law.”
Chen Ru flushed and smiled: “Auntie, what are you talking about? Isn’t Cousin Xiaoan your daughter?”
Chen sighed, “ The child only angers me all day, because she is still mad at me because of Shitou thing last time. Ru'er, tell me, how can there be such a daughter who is angry to her old mother ."
Chen Ru persuaded: "Xiao'an is still a child-tempered, aunt, don't worry, the cousin won't be like that after marrying. She is just angry. Didn't she take the initiative to talk to you a few days ago? The cousin still love you."
"Hey, it's better for you to worry about it, Ru'er, if you could be my daughter-in-law." Chen seemed moved.
"Auntie, stop talking nonsense. If you let others listen to me, they will think I have any thoughts." Chen Ru shyly lowered her head.
Chen laughed and said, "Well, I won't tease you anymore. Now the snow is almost gone, and you are going back soon. Auntie is really reluctant to bear you."
Chen Ru smiled and said: "Auntie, if you want to be like this. , Ru'er comes to see you every three to five."
"That's good..." Chen said with a smile.
After a few more days, Xuerong was almost ready, and Chen worried that Chen Ru was in danger on the road, and asked Fugui to send her back.
Fugui gave Mother Chen a glance, "Mother, I'm not going!" What does it mean when an adult man sends an abandoned woman back? He didn't want to make his wife angry.
Chen stomped angrily, "Isn't it just to send your cousin back, Don't you worry about what happened to her on the road, why don't you go?"
Fugui said impatiently, "Isn't there cousin ? Yes, some people have left the village and entered the village two days ago. What's wrong with this?"
Chen Ru blushed at Fugui's words and said with red eyes: "Auntie, I will go by myself, no need trouble. Big cousin."
"Erlang, you should send it off!" Chen pointed to his second son, Yang Dapeng, who was standing under the eaves. "It is not safe for your cousin to go back alone. You should send it off."
Yang Dapeng hurriedly said: " Mother, I'll have something to do later ."
Mother Chen was anxious, and pointed to Yang Xiaotong next to him, "San Lang, you go!"
Before Yang Xiaotong could speak, Niu Sister in law on the side had already yelled, "hus.... husband, I... I have a stomachache, please help me back to the room."
Yang Xiaotong hurriedly helped his daughter-in-law into the room when he heard it.
Chen Ru was like a ball being kicked around, which made her clenched her fists. After a long time, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I said that I don't need to send away. I will do it by myself."
Chen had to give up, "Then you must be careful on the road."
Chen Ru finally left. Xu Cao breathed a sigh of relief, Shen's sigh of relief, and Niu's sigh of relief.
These days have passed. Ten days later, the snow has melted clean, and the sun is shining on the earth. Although it is still a bit cold, it is no longer the same as the previous days and can only stay at home.
It is now mid-February, and spring plowing has begun. Spring ploughing is one inch deep and can top the manure again. Spring ploughing is busy, Qiuhou's face is hungry and yellow. Naturally, this means that spring plowing is very important and must not be neglected, and when plowing in spring, one inch more deep plowing will be able to top up the fertilizer.
Xu Cao’s family doesn’t even have a cow. Now it’s the busiest day for spring ploughing. Everyone with cows is busy. Xu Cao’s potatoes are all sprouts. Fugui have to work hard and pull the plow to plough the fields.
Xu Cao felt sorry for him, and couldn't persuade him, saying that he should just wait for his family with cattle done plowing then borrow when they were free. Fugui grinned, and said: "Wife, don't worry, I am full of strength, and I can finish it."
She had no choice but to make good meals for him every day, three meals a day, all at noon. She sent it to the ground. When nothing happened, she stayed with him and wiped his sweat.
Fortunately, only two acres of fields were cultivated after two or three days of work. Then the soil was loosened, and the ground was gathered into a ridge, just waiting for the potatoes to be planted in.
Potatoes are "spattered" crops. you just plant them and do not care about anything, and you can grow fruitful potatoes.
Potatoes also have late blight and early blight, but she should have no problem with the potatoes dug out in the mountains, and the land is newly reclaimed, and there has never been potato taro or solanaceous crops, so the possibility of disease is very small.
Although it may not necessarily cause disease, Xu Cao still took precautions. First, the cut potatoes were pre-soaked in warm water at about 40 to 50 degrees for one minute, and then soaked in warm water at about 60 degrees. It took a quarter of an hour. Originally, the seeds could be soaked with medicine, but there were no medicines in this place, and Xu Cao had to give up.
The potatoes were not big. Xu Cao could only cut each potato in half, and each half of the potato had sprout holes on it, so that it could germinate and grow after planting.
After each potato was cut in half, and the temperature was soaked, Xu Cao carefully planted it in the cultivated field. The part with the sprout eyes is facing upwards, and some have sprouts. After adding some plant ash to the potatoes and inserting them into the ground, they are completed by covering them with a thin layer of soil. In the end, you only need regular watering and weeding.
These seventy potatoes were actually planted almost three-quarters.
After that, Xu Cao went to the town to buy the seeds of millet. The main grains eaten by the poor here are brown rice, millet, coarse flour, white flour and polished rice, which are all very expensive. Xu Cao is only suitable for planting millet.
She bought back six kilograms of corn seeds, planted an acre and a half, and left two cents of land. Xu Cao sowed some common vegetables in spring. When that time comes, they don’t have to buy vegetables to eat, and self-sufficient.
After finishing all these, it is already early March.
