Chapter 33: Raising earthworms is of great use
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxia smiled and said: "Okay, mother, eat it."
In order to make San Bao not feel sad, she reached for one, peeled it and ate it, and also peeled one for San Bao.
After eating, she was not greedy and said, "Sambo, go and play by yourself. Mom, let me rest for a while, and then I will open a field to plant vegetables later."
"Yeah!" Sanbao nodded obediently, "Sambo's gang! Wait for the gang!"
She will help her mother later!
"Okay!" Su Xiaoxia touched Sanbao's face.
Speaking of the matter of clearing the land, when Su Xiaoxia went to plant rice seedlings, Shen Lan took Erbao to open up a grassy patch of land next to the yard, and also led Su Xiaoxia over to see if it could be done.
Su Xiaoxia went over and took a look and felt that the location was good. As the time of day changed, there were sun and shadows, so the vegetable field would not be exposed to the sun all the time.
In the countryside, people generally don’t have lunch.
At noon, I eat whatever I have at home. If not, I just make whatever I can.
I still have the thin rice porridge from the morning, but I have to stir-fry wild vegetables so that I can eat it.
"Mom, let's cook brown rice at night. Now that we've made money, we don't have to be so frugal on food. Only when we eat well can our children's bodies grow faster. And mom, you're too thin, so you need to take more supplements."
In the past, the family had not had a good meal, and she was worried that these people in the family would have stomach problems.
Especially Shen Lan, who has been squeezed by the original owner, is getting thinner and thinner. There are not many pieces of flesh on her face, and her cheekbones are protruding. "
"You're still talking about me, look at you, aren't you too skinny?" Shen Lan looked at Su Xiaoxia's palm-sized face and felt heartbroken, "Xiaoxia, I've made you suffer all these years."
"Mom, don't say that. It's me who has made you suffer. I've tormented you all these years, but it's okay. It will be fine in the future and everything will get better."
She will live on and live better than her previous life!
Su Xiaoxia thought confidently.
"Hey, you rest for a while, I'll dig up the ground."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxia shook her head, "Mom, go and help Xu Yiyun, or take care of the children. I'll take care of it. I just want to do some exercise. I'm too weak. I need to work more to strengthen my body."
When Shen Lan heard this, tears filled her eyes and she said a few good words repeatedly.
It's great that Xiaoxia can live a good life with their family in the future. Xiaoxia is right, everything will get better in the future...
Xu Yiyun was in the kitchen preparing the king snake and frying wild vegetables, while Sanbao was sitting in the shade next to the vegetable patch with Su Xiaoxia.
Xu Dabao stayed in the room again and read the book Su Xiaoxia gave him.
Erbao played by himself in the yard with a wooden sword and shield.
Shen Lan had nothing to do, so she simply broke some bamboo and used bamboo strips to weave a fence. When the time came to build a vegetable field, she would definitely need a fence.
Half an hour later.
Xu Yiyun walked out of the kitchen with wild vegetables and said, "Mom, call Dabao, two treasures, and three treasures to come for lunch."
"Hey!" Shen Lan responded, put down the things in his hands, stood up and called someone.
As for Sanbao, he refused to come over first and insisted on waiting for Su Xiaoxia.
"Sambo, you and your grandma are going to eat. Come back after you're full."
At this moment, Su Xiaoxia's eyes lit up and she squatted down and dug up the soil.
What a big earthworm!
Earthworms are medicine, and they can also be used to feed poultry, and most importantly, they can be used for fishing.
Thinking of the fish she caught last time, she thought that she would take Sanbao fishing in the afternoon when the weather was not so hot. She could also eat grilled fish tonight!
After thinking about this, Su Xiaoxia dug out all the big earthworms with a hoe.
The fact that the earthworms are so big means that the land is very fertile and is a good choice for growing vegetables. Moreover, there is also chicken manure in the space, which can be used as fertilizer after retting.
Speaking of fertilizer, she will start making nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer soon!
Sanbao didn't go to eat. When she saw Su Xiaoxia squatting down as if doing something, she ran over curiously, "Mom, this is... ah! Snake!"
Shen Lan was startled and hurriedly came over to take a look and found that it was not a snake, but a giant earthworm.
"Xiaoxia, what are you doing?"
"Catching earthworms is of great use." Su Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Mom, find me a jar that is not used at home. Make it bigger so I can raise earthworms."
"Hey, I'll go find it for you right now."
So, Xu Yiyun, Xu Dabao and Erbao watched Shen Lan rummaging through the boxes, and finally found a big jar and walked towards the vegetable field.
At this time, the three of them had no intention of eating and wanted to go over and see what was going on.
When they saw Su Xiaoxia catching earthworms into the jar and throwing the soil in, they didn't understand why they wanted to catch earthworms. After all, their family couldn't even raise a chicken.
"You...why are you looking at me?" Su Xiaoxia put all the earthworms into the jar, and when she looked up, she realized that there was a circle of people surrounding her, which was scary.
"What are you doing catching earthworms?" Erbao asked with his hands on his hips in confusion.
“It’s of great use!”
After cleaning up the jar, she placed it in a dark and damp corner under the eaves, and then said, "It's time to eat, don't be stunned."
Thin rice porridge with wild vegetables, people don't even need to chew it, just put it in their mouths and drink it like water.
Halfway through eating, Xu Yiyun thought of snake soup and hurried into the kitchen to lift the lid and stir-fry.
The smell of snake soup wafts out.
Second sister-in-law Liu Lian was cooling herself with a sunflower fan at home when she suddenly smelled the fragrance, followed by the sound of footsteps.
A seven-year-old boy and a five-year-old boy walked in from the door one after the other.
"Mom, it smells so good!"
"yes!"
These are the two sons of Erfang. The eldest son Xu Chengwen is studying in a private school, and the second son Xu Chengwu is studying at half price.
I happened to go home and rest half a day early today, and I will have a day off tomorrow before going to private school.
The private school is in the village next door, so it's a bit inconvenient to go back and forth. The private school is in Liu Lian's natal village, so when they go to school, the brothers stay at their grandmother's house.
"ah!"
Seeing her two sons, Liu Lian's eyes were filled with joy, "My dear sons, you are back!"
"Yes, Mom, let's come back to see you and dad." Xu Chengwen put the bundle on the table, "Where's dad?"
"Your father has gone out." Liu Lian put down her fan and said happily, "You haven't eaten yet. Mom will go to the kitchen and give you something to eat."
Usually when she has nothing to do, she is not willing to make lunch for herself and Xu Xiaohu.
Xu Chengwen was more polite, nodded and smiled: "Thank you, mother."
"Silly boy, why are you so polite to me!"
Xu Chengwu squinted his eyes and sniffed the smell in the air, greed revealed in his eyes, "Mom, what smells so good?"
"This is..." Liu Lian paused, lowered her eyes to think about it, and said: "This is your third uncle cooking delicious meat. You haven't seen your third uncle for several days, so hurry up and visit you." Third uncle."
If the two sons go to say hello to Xu Yiyun, if Xu Yiyun is eating now, she will definitely keep her two sons down for dinner.
At that time, I don’t need to cook, and I can feed my two sons.
