Fragrant Spring -

The next day, Qiaoying's family, Haishan and Lin Hua's family, carrying hoes, set out for Jianhugou. Jianhugou, as the name suggests, is a ravine where tigers have been seen. Of course, it is not there now.

It’s a tiger, otherwise who would dare?

Go there to farm. It was the early Republic of China, and there were still lush wild forests everywhere. A villager put down an iron trap there and caught a wild boar. As a result, he saw a tiger carrying the wild boar away, so later people called him

That place is called Jianhugou.

Liping did not break her promise, she was also in this team. But she regretted it as soon as she came. She regretted not because of her decision, but because Lin Hua was also in this team. If she had known that Lin Hua was also here last night

, she won’t come today. Chen Ming, Lin Hua, and Haishan worked together to squeeze oil. Now that they are working, they will naturally work together.

On the way, Qiao Fen said: "Li Ping, you are so tender-skinned. It will be hard for you to dig it all day long."

Liping replied: "Don't be afraid, I'll slow down, and I'll rest when I'm tired."

Lin Fen also said: "You don't like listening to the tape recorder at home and cracking melon seeds, but you prefer digging in the ground with Qiaoying..."

Others also teased Liping, saying that she had a good life. Playing at home every day was like eating meat, and occasionally coming to work for a day was like eating vegetables. Lin Hua was the only one who remained silent. He walked at the back of the team, and everyone just said nothing.

Didn't notice him.

Everyone was laughing and laughing all the way, and unknowingly they arrived at Qiaoying's house. After placing the lunch they brought, behind their backs, etc., they lined up and started digging. Digging is very simple, just start from the foot of the mountain.

Dig upward and smelt

Digging through the land, if you come across those grass roots, bracken roots, small tree roots, etc., just dig them out. Liping is from the countryside. Although she has never dug the land, she has seen it, so

You can do it without any teaching.

Liping, Qiaoying, Qiaofen, and Lin Fen were all on one side, and the boys were on the other side. It was convenient for them to talk, and Liping felt relieved. She was no longer as uncomfortable as when she saw Lin Hua when she came.

When women are together, it is nothing more than a short chat between parents. As we chat, the topic comes to the issue of stomach pain during menstruation.

Qiaofen said: "I have been here for the past few days and my stomach has been hurting. If I hadn't been working at home, I really wouldn't have wanted to come."

Lin Fen said: "What can I do? This is a woman's fate. Besides, in the mountains, there are jobs one after another. If you don't do it today, you still have to do it tomorrow."

"Yes, life is hard. Hey, does it hurt when you come here?" Qiaofen raised her hoe and dug in. The blackened soil on the surface turned out pieces of fresh loess under her hoe.

Most women are like Qiaofen, simple and hard-working.

Lin Fen looked at Qiaofen and saw that she must be in quite a lot of pain. She said, "Mine doesn't hurt as much as yours. Mine hasn't come for two months, so maybe it's because of it." Lin Fen has been with Haishan since then.

She confirmed that she had not used contraception since she got married this year. Based on her previous two experiences, she estimated that she was pregnant. Rural people do not need to take a break when pregnant with children. Some people often go to the fields to work with a big belly during the day.

I gave birth when I got home that night.

"Ah, it's so fast, does Haishan know?" Qiaofen was happy for Lin Fen.

"I know." Lin Fen was a little shy.

At this time, Liping's heart skipped a beat. The one she was supposed to come a few days ago had been delayed until now. She asked in a panic: "Did you stop coming if you're pregnant?"

Lin Fen turned her head to Liping's side and said with a smile: "Of course, you are pregnant too, right?"

Qiaofen and Qiaoying laughed after hearing this, and Qiaoying teased: "Hurry up and recruit someone, who's a bastard?"

"You're just a bastard. I'm just going to ask you to see what you're talking about." Liping's face turned red and she scolded Qiaoying.

Qiaoying was not angry either, and teased Liping with laughter. The men on the other side heard the constant laughter, and raised their voices and said: "Hey, have you dug up gold over there? Don't keep it all to yourself."

Oh, everyone should have a share."

Qiaoying responded loudly to them: "I dug it in my land, so I won't share it with you."

The people on both sides were teasing each other. When there are more people, working is just like this. You and I always have endless things to say. Talking and working at the same time, even the boring work will be spent in laughter.

But Liping couldn't laugh in her heart. She thought she wouldn't really be pregnant, right? It was just once with Lin Hua. Is it really that bad? No, she had been delayed before, maybe this time

Because during the Chinese New Year, I ate too much greasy food, which affected my body. No, there were more acne on my face.

Liping comforted herself in her heart. Liping didn't think about it for long, and was soon buried by the freshness of digging for the first time. Whenever she dug a big stone, she would pry it up, and then shout down the mountain,

Is anyone here? Let’s roll the stone! Roll the stone down again, and the stone rolls down with a roar, making a roaring sound.

.Also, if you dig up a yellow-haired white-bellied mouse that makes a nest under the grass roots, it will escape quickly, but if there are small mouse cubs in the nest, then this mouse will basically be a dish on the dinner table at night. Because this kind of mouse

He is especially concerned about his cubs. After running for a while, he will come back and pick up his cubs. Just keep an eye on his cubs and wait until he comes back.

Just hit it with the hoe. It doesn't matter if you can't hit it. Rat cubs usually have four or five, and they won't give up until they save all their cubs. These are things Liping has never encountered before. She is like

Like a child, she was attracted by the things she thought were fun, and she didn't feel tired even after doing heavy work for the first time.

At noon, everyone gathered on a slightly flat depression and lit a fire. They added a little water to the rice jar and put it on the charcoal to warm. They also trimmed small branches and put the glutinous rice cakes they brought on them to bake.

Lin Hua was full of ideas. He found a three-pronged branch and quickly pierced three glutinous rice cakes on it. While others were busy turning over this glutinous rice cake and looking at that one, he easily held up his thread.

Three glutinous rice cake branches, leisurely and contented.

Liping was good at burning glutinous rice cakes with a fire tong at home, but she was not used to using branches in the field. After burning for a while, the glutinous rice cakes fell onto the charcoal. Haishan quickly helped her take them out, but they were already stained.

The fire turned to ashes.

Liping smiled and said: "This time, the ingredients are added."

Haishan helped her make the glutinous rice cake and said, "It's okay. When it's cooked, pat it and it will be clean."

Lin Hua's glutinous rice cakes were cooked, and all three glutinous rice cakes were burnt to a crispy brown. He put the branch with the glutinous rice cakes in front of his nose, closed his eyes and smelled it, then raised his head and said proudly: "It smells good!"

Qiaoying was sitting next to Lin Hua. She snatched away three of Lin Hua's glutinous rice cakes, threw one to Lin Fen and Liping, and took one for herself. She took a bite before Lin Hua could react.
