In addition to clothes, bedding also needs to be disassembled and washed. The sheets and curtains were bought before the house was built, but the bamboo grates in the kitchen need to be new.

There are also two more sets of fences and straw mats that need to be woven. These are for the poultry, dogs and cows at home. The current ones are too old and worn, so they can only be used.

If you want a new home to have a new atmosphere, you can't just make do with it all the time.

Counting it this way, there are quite a lot of odd chores.

But Wang Susu enjoyed it.

Unlike Chen Ling, she has a restless temper.

Always keep your home in order, otherwise you won’t feel at ease.

At first Chen Ling also advised her to take a break, but after several attempts, Wang Susu just agreed with a smile.

The next day, it's time to keep busy.

As time passed, Chen Ling got used to it and simply said nothing more.

But there were some tasks that didn't need to be done in a hurry, so Chen Ling would deliberately pull her to his side and read a newspaper to her, or read her a few pages of a novel so that she could listen to the story and relax.

Wang Susu knew what he was thinking, but she always let him. Her husband loved her and treated her well, and she would only feel happy and happy, so how could she refuse?

As time goes by, the relationship between husband and wife becomes deeper and deeper, and they understand each other better.

On August 12th, after the young couple sent Wang Qingwen away early in the morning, Wang Susu and Chen Ling were ready to go to the fields to weed. The peanuts and soybeans in the fields had been planted for a month, each costing just over two acres, which is a lot.

Not much, I just kept busy after collecting the dishes, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Now is the time to hoe the grass and water it.

"Zhenzhen, your brother-in-law and I are going to work in the fields, will you go?"

"I'm not going, sister. I still want to go and play with Xizi and Liu Nier."

As soon as Wang Qingwen left, Wang Zhenzhen lost all restraints. He happily put on new clothes and new sandals, and like a pony, he jumped up and down and ran out to play with the little kids in the village.

"You're not allowed to play by the water, you know?"

"I know, don't worry, brother-in-law."

This girl came to the village, and within two days she got mixed up with the little children in the village. She followed Liu Nier and the others all day long to make trouble. Two days ago, she was stung by a tickle when she climbed a tree. With Wang Qingwen here, she also

I didn't dare to speak out for fear of being scolded, so I secretly told Wang Susu that my calves were swollen when I got home. Finally, I applied medicine and the pain was gone. Then I took Heiba ​​Xiaojin to chase pheasants and rabbits, which made the little ones like to follow her.

She was playing, and every day when she didn't eat well, she would come to call her.

Now she has become the eldest sister among Chen Wangzhuang's little children.

Chen Ling sighed several times, with how crazy this girl is, no wonder she can save more than fifty yuan just by catching scorpions.

It's just that Wang Susu feels that her sister is always playing here and it's hard to explain to her parents.

But she was reluctant to scold her sister.

"It's okay, let her play. She will be a big girl in two years, and there is no chance for her to play like this again."

Chen Ling smiled at his wife and said, "She's so smart. You don't have to worry about her studying. Tomorrow I'll go to the county to find a school and ask. If there's no problem, I'll send her to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She'll have just one more month of fun.

, with this girl’s intelligence, assigning her homework will not be a problem.”

"Know it."

Wang Susu wrinkled her nose at him and handed him a straw hat.

She just felt that her sister had been playing for too long. She had been on vacation for two months and had a big problem. School had not started yet and she was always playing around. I am afraid that she would have forgotten all the things she had learned before. If she continued to let it go,

I really have to repeat the grade.

Then he glanced at the two dogs that had slipped out of the door and shouted: "You two, don't panic and run away. First, help drive the rabbits into the nest before you go."

The three litters of little rabbits are now more than a month old. They can't stay in the nest and always want to run out.

When the young couple is at home, it's okay to let them out for a while. With Heiwa and Xiaojin helping to watch, they can't escape.

But it doesn't work when I go out. There is no gate built now, only a fence gate is blocking it. The gap in the fence is large, and even if the water channel entrance is blocked, they can escape through the gap.

Just before going out, drive them all back to their nest and block them with a fence.

However, there were so many rabbits. There were almost forty rabbits, big and small. It was too hard for her and Chen Ling to catch them. They blocked one side and ran away there. Two dogs helped, which saved a lot of trouble.

.

Wang Susu took the two dogs and drove them into the den. After returning to the house and carrying a kettle full of Liangbai Kai, Chen Ling went to fetch the cows and pick up the hoe. When Wang Susu came out with the kettle and locked the door, the two of them walked toward the house.

Walk into the fields.

Recently, every household in the village has built a new house. Except for a few old houses that have not been cared for, all the houses have been built with bricks and tiles. As you look around, you can see that they are all blue bricks and black tiles, with courtyards and steps, which are well-proportioned and very beautiful.

Compared with before, Chenwangzhuang also has a new look.

After leaving the village, there were many people doing farm work in the fields. The corn had grown to half a person's height, and it was time to irrigate again.

This year, Laohe Bend has become wider again, and the nearby ravines are full of water, making it easier to water.

For cotton and sorghum grown on slopes, there are also several people bending down in the field to pick the tops of the cotton. This is the same as picking the heads of watermelons. If the cotton is not topped, the side branches will become

If it is too small, it will always grow in high places and it will not be able to produce cotton peaches properly. The cotton yield will be greatly reduced and the harvest will be affected.

As the young couple walked on the field road, they felt that they were completely different from before.

Often I would be greeted by someone within a few steps, and someone would shout and joke with me even from far away. There were warm smiles everywhere.

Fortunately, Chen Ling has adapted to it now and is not impatient. When he meets anyone who is talking, he will stop and chat appropriately. They will stop and go along the way. When they arrive in their own fields, the young couple will also chat about this family in the village and that family in the village.

Case.

As he talked, he started working quickly, and without even realizing it, he had hoeed up more than half an acre of land.

At this time, it was already noon, and this was still the speed Chen Ling had achieved after he became more and more comfortable with the farm work. After all, it was not a physical work, and it would not work with brute strength, and it would be more time-consuming.

However, the two of them are young and strong, and can work much faster than ordinary people. Moreover, they are nourished by water and food from the cave every day. Ordinary people can do three-thirds of the land in half a day, but they can work almost an acre in half a day.

The grass on the ground should be hoeed and cleared away.

I looked up at the sun and saw that it was probably past twelve o'clock. When they came here, they planned to divert water from the small ditch at the foot of the mountain to irrigate the peanuts and soybeans. Now it seems that they have to wait until the afternoon.

If they were just the two of them, it wouldn't be a problem to go back to eat after watering. The key was that my sister-in-law was here, so she couldn't be hungry.

After putting down their hoes, the two of them sat on the ridge of the field and prepared to rest for a while. They were drinking water when they suddenly heard Xiaobai mooing at the foot of the mountain. Wang Susu hurriedly got up and walked over. When she saw it, she was immediately startled.

"Aling, look, I don't know what kind of head this is."

Chen Ling walked up to him and took a look. He said it was a head, but it was actually half an animal's skull. It was not too big. You could still see the teeth in his mouth, which were dirty. He was lying quietly beside the ditch.

Although it was dried in the sun and there was no smell, there were still many flies surrounding it and they were reluctant to leave.

"Could the wolf eat the leftovers?"

"I guess there are more and more wolves in the mountains recently."

Chen Ling looked around, then comforted his wife: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. There are many dogs in our village, and they will bark when there is any movement. It is impossible for a wolf to sneak into the village quietly."

"That's not it. I'm worried that if we build a village here in the future and raise some things, it won't be good if the wolf comes down the mountain and causes trouble."

Wang Susu said worriedly.

After all, there are almost two baskets of eggs, duck eggs, and quails and rabbits every month. At this rate, the little space at home is definitely not enough. Since Chen Ling said he wanted to build another big one in the field,

She also agreed with this.

It's just that there are more and more wolves in the mountains, so it makes people feel uneasy about what to raise.

In fact, even if the wolf can't get in, it won't work if it keeps harassing the poultry and livestock.

Poultry are prone to not laying eggs when frightened, and sometimes become sick due to fright, causing considerable indirect losses.

Domestic animals are not much better even if they are a little better. Pigs and sheep are timid by nature and are easily frightened by wolves. It is common to go without eating or drinking for several days. After all, there are many wolves in the mountains, which is a troublesome thing.

Wang Susu's concerns are not unreasonable.

"It's nothing. We talked about this at the wine table a few days ago when our house was built and we were having a drink. Uncle Wu also said that it wouldn't work like this. He planned to help us apply for more before our team went into the mountains to hunt.

A few shotguns came down, and among other things, I first shot the wolves on the surrounding mountains severely until they were frightened and did not dare to go down the mountain again."

Chen Ling smiled and comforted his wife.

There were so many men in the village suddenly entering the mountains, leaving behind young, old, wives and children. How could you rest assured that they had already planned to deal with the wolf?

Otherwise, now the villagers would not dare to go into the mountains alone, and they would be frightened even if they wanted to collect some medicine or pack some wild animals in exchange for money. How could this be done?

It's better to fight off the wolf as soon as possible.

Hearing what Chen Ling said, Wang Susu took a long breath and felt relieved.

Chen Ling smiled when he saw this, took his wife's hand, and called the little white cow to go home.

"Let's go home and cook. It's past twelve o'clock. I'm really afraid I'll be hungry already."

"Um."

…

Hoeing, watering, busy all day long.
