Thinning is actually very tiring because you have to squat for a long time, and the weeds have already appeared, so it is much easier to weed now than later.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the gloomy weather and sighed. It was going to rain, but she didn't have an acre of land that was dry yet. Can't she wait until it rains again?
Thinking that the sorghum still needed to be weeded, Su Yuanyuan felt like giving up on herself and not wanting to do anything else.
I didn’t go back at noon. I was hungry and ate meat buns.
There are many families like her, and everyone is almost the same. There are many children in the fields now, and they can do such work.
It was not visible until night. There was still about half an acre of land that had not been finished, but there was nothing we could do.
She was pulling her legs home. She heard the cry of the sheep and had to lead them home. She didn't want to move at all. But you can't starve the sheep if you raise them.
After returning to the house, she went directly into the space. After drinking the spiritual spring water, her fatigue disappeared. She heard thunder in the middle of the night, and Su Yuanyuan patted the pillow bitterly.
"It's so annoying. It's so annoying."
The next day it dawned and the rain still didn't stop.
I went outside and looked at three sheep. They were pretty good and they all knew how to take shelter from the rain.
It was too humid in the afternoon, so I had to light a fire. I didn't want to cook, but I got food for the sheep.
Fortunately, the stones picked up from land reclamation were laid in the yard, otherwise, she would not have the courage to go out.
After calming down, Su Yuanyuan felt that it was good to have rain. Although the weeds may have grown wildly, the crops also grew.
The drizzle didn't stop until the afternoon. Now I don't have to work for two days.
Su Yuanyuan just lay on the kang, reading and making shoes.
"Yuanyuan!"
"Auntie, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Tell you to go pick wild vegetables."
"Wait for me, I'll carry the basket."
In fact, now is the time when there is no food to eat, so everyone goes to the wild to pick wild vegetables. Su Yuanyuan doesn't like it because she has eaten enough in her previous life. But she doesn't want to reject Hu Chunhua, so she can give it to the sheep.
"Yuanyuan, why do you pick everything?" Yang Xue, the eldest daughter of the Hu Chunhua family, asked her.
"Sister, I'm going back to prepare food for the sheep."
"That's right, Yuanyuan, your sheep are really capable. Several families have seen you using their sheep to do things, and they have tried it, but it didn't work."
"My harpoon was ordered from the county. It is relatively small and can only be pulled by a sheep."
"But your sheep can walk in a straight line."
"Yes, this is indeed good. How long will it take for me to finish planting these two acres of land by myself?"
"My dad said your seedlings are the best."
"I bought the seeds from the county seed station with money."
After several months of raising her, Su Yuanyuan is now one year younger than Yang Xue, but she eats well and has gradually made up for it, becoming almost the same as Yang Xue.
The two little girls followed the adults, chatting wordlessly.
In fact, Su Yuanyuan was really suffering from diaphragm. Her shoes were already covered with mud. She felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Sister, did my uncle say that we can go to the field tomorrow?"
"No, you see, the soles of our shoes are all mud. It will probably be the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Children from poor families have already become masters. How can the children in rural areas not understand this?
"Ahem! I still have half an acre of seedlings left."
"My family hasn't finished yet." They went home after ten o'clock. Su Yuanyuan dug out the Japanese melon seedlings with a knife and put them in a cage. She took a pickaxe to the foot of the mountain and planted about 100 meters.
More than twenty trees.
In the autumn harvest, there were more than a hundred winter melons. When I got home, I planted the winter melons near the fence.
I've seen it just now. The sorghum produced is quite good, so that's good.
Now in five or six years, with two years left, we can tell whether it is similar to the history of the previous life.
In fact, she doesn't want to be similar, because it would be too difficult to live like that.
I have seen everything in my previous life, but I still don't want to see such a tragic situation.
Since I can't work in the fields today, I'll tidy up the yard and the cleared land. In the countryside, when there is no free time, it's all work.
Su Yuanyuan thought happily in her misery. From now on, she would eat only natural and pollution-free green food. Where can future generations find it? Even in rural areas, pesticides are used.
The vegetable seedlings are all out in the yard. There are no leeks, and I don’t have any in my space. It would be great if I could buy them. These leeks are my favorite dish. I am thinking about eating dumplings with leek and egg today.
I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I was thinking about going to herd the sheep. This way I can dig some wild vegetables. This ewe is a big contributor.
There was no need to lead, the ewe followed behind her, and two half-grown sheep followed behind the ewe.
I have the impression that there is a large wasteland to the northeast of the village, so I would go there to graze sheep.
She met many people along the way, but no one paid her any attention.
Su Yuanyuan was even more unconcerned. In her previous life, she was used to being free and carefree, and she didn't want to interact with people. She didn't think it was bad. It's not impossible for her to be like this in this life.
I strolled with the sheep to the wasteland. The hay here must have been set on fire by the naughty children. So there was not as much hay as Su Yuanyuan imagined.
Su Yuanyuan patted the ewe next to her and said, "Look, there are still a lot of fresh wild vegetables. You take them to eat, and I'll dig some wild vegetables."
The ewe looked up at Su Yuanyuan, bleated a few times, and then went in.
Su Yuanyuan looked at this wasteland. Maybe it was a mountain before the earth's crust changed. You can see a lot of stones outside.
Today's wild vegetables are still very fresh and tender. Even if you don't eat them yourself, you can dry them and feed them to the sheep in the future.
Su Yuanyuan saw two more children coming over. They were taller than herself, probably older than herself. They were also coming to herd sheep.
In fact, the two Sun brothers and sisters wanted to come here after seeing Su Yuanyuan coming here to herd sheep.
We are all from the same village, and we all know each other, but have never spoken to each other.
Sun Hongying is also eight years old this year, the same age as Su Yuanyuan, and she is also a girl, so she is relatively easy to talk to. "Yuanyuan, I am Sun Hongying from Sun Dazhuang's family."
Su Yuanyuan didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to talk to her. She was stunned for a moment and smiled, "I know, you are the same age as me and you are older than me."
"Yes. My brother and I were also preparing to herd sheep. We saw you coming this way. We thought this was the place, so we followed along.
Yuanyuan, why do you dig all kinds of wild vegetables? This kind of vegetables is not delicious."
Su Yuanyuan is also willing to accept the kindness of others.
"I'll go back and pick again. If it's not tasty, I'll give it to the sheep. If it's delicious, I'll keep it. If there's too much, I'll dry it in the sun and eat it when there's no more vegetables."
"If you want to dry them, it's still too early. The wild vegetables are too tender now, and there won't be much left after drying."
