Traveling through a farmer's home: farming to make a fortune and raise children

Chapter 129 129 Cotton Grows Well

I sent the things to my uncle's house. My aunt originally asked them to eat, but Li Yu had already gone home to cook, so she didn't stay any longer.

When I was at my uncle's house, I was forced by my uncle to ask a lot about them in the county, especially about the second elder.

Li Changhui naturally knew everything, his grandparents were well taken care of by his second uncle and aunt, so there was nothing to hide.

When they finally came home, it was dark.

Li Changsheng had already tied their cattle to their cattle pen, and the pheasants, chickens, wild boars and piglets were all fed. They only needed to have dinner and wash up before they could rest.

Li Yu even cooked dinner. Lin He didn't bother to get too much food today, so he just took two salted duck eggs from his second aunt, and fried a small vegetable, and it would be enough for the night.

After sleeping on her own bed, Lin He finally felt at ease. The bed in this inn is still not as comfortable as her own bed. Even in this bed, she didn't sleep for a long time.

When Li Changhui came back, Lin He was already in a daze, but he still insisted on opening his eyes.

"Brother Hui, take a rest, starting tomorrow night, you can't be so leisurely."

When we were at the uncle's house before, the three cousins ​​said that they should let Li Changhui rest well tonight and go to the field to guard the taro. They will come tonight, and let Li Changhui take turns with him tomorrow.

Li Changhui couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her expression of trying to speak, even though she couldn't open her eyes: "Okay, I get it, you should go to sleep too."

Lin He almost closed his eyes and fell asleep for a second, making Li Changhui helpless and funny at the same time.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up the next morning. The quiet environment made Lin He, who had lived in a restaurant for a few days and was used to the bustling street at dawn, froze for a moment before realizing that he went home.

After rolling around on the bed, he stretched his waist and got up, and sure enough, he heard the familiar humming and chirping voices of two little guys coming from outside.

Only after I lifted the quilt did I realize that it was a bit cold and chilly.

"Why is it raining again? It only rained two days ago."

The four father and son outside the house, as before, Li Yu and Li Hao were striding under the eaves, and Li Changhui was holding Li An at the kitchen door to feed.

"It's normal to have a lot of rain these days, but it saves us watering the land."

Li Changhui has already fed Li An, wiped his mouth and put it in his small chair: "Okay, it's almost time, move your hands and feet again, and then come over to eat."

Lin He looked at the two men who were sweating profusely: "Why does it feel a little harder than before?"

Li Changhui went to light the fire without looking back: "I've been playing like crazy for the past few days. I've almost lost all the training I did before."

No wonder.

When passing by the door, he teased Li An for a while, then went to wash his hands and prepare to cook noodles: "After dinner, let's go to the field to have a look."

Li An just ate custard as usual.

On the stove, there is still kneaded dough, chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, and washed a handful of coriander leaves.

This is the preparation of sliced ​​noodles.

"Okay, it's been raining for the past few days, and the temperature is usually warmer. They should all have sprouted."

Cotton, soybeans, and taro.

"Okay, the rain should stop soon."

Although it was raining, the sky was still very bright, and even the sun came out, which showed that the rain would not last long.

Li Yu and Li Hao recovered from their tired bodies and soon entered the kitchen.

"I'm so tired, Dad, why do I feel more tired today than before? We won't feel so uncomfortable before."

Li Changhui: "Because you rested for too long."

In fact, compared to the beginning, today's performance is much better, that is, it is more uncomfortable than the first day or two when I entered the city.

It's just because the past few days have been too leisurely, I haven't done anything, and my body and brain are used to this kind of leisure, so I feel that today's exercise is particularly difficult.

Li Yu and Li Hao seemed to understand, but they didn't ask too much. Anyway, Dad said, from now on, if there is no special delay, no matter it is thunder or rain, wind or snow, it will not stop every day.

When I was at the second uncle's grandfather's house, I heard a lot about the border wars that my father told me, and I heard that my father was more capable than what they saw.

Whether it's Li Yu or Li Hao, they all have a drive in their hearts, wanting to be as powerful as their father.

Naturally, there was no objection to Dad's arrangement.

After a full meal of homemade sliced ​​noodles, even Lin He ate a big bowl of homemade taste after a long absence.

I don't know what's going on, although the cook outside tastes very good, and now there is no waste oil, additives and other things.

But in the past few days, I have been eating food from outside. If I eat too much, I still feel that it is not as comfortable to eat as I cook.

After dinner, Li Yu volunteered to wash the dishes, Li Hao looked at his younger brother, Lin He and Li Changhui were going to look at the fields.

While eating, the sky has cleared up, there is no rain at all, the sun has come out, and it is even a little hot.

The two first went to the back of the house to look at the cotton, and by the way led the cattle to a place with grass, and carried a basket on their backs, so they could cut some pigweed and come back.

The pigs hadn't been fed this morning. When they set off, a few wild boars in the pigsty were jumping up and down, probably very hungry.

But I can only continue to be hungry, who let the family have nothing now.

As expected, the cotton has germinated, not only germinated, but also growing very well. At first glance, the field is green and lush, and it looks very comfortable.

"Xiaohe, you are back, is this cotton planted?"

An uncle in the nearby field greeted the two of them and pointed to the cotton field.

Li Changhui had already led the cow to the mountain. Lin He knew this uncle, but he forgot how to call him, so he just nodded.

"Yeah, I don't have enough quilts in winter at home, so I want to grow some cotton myself, pick some good cotton, and play a few more quilts."

"That's right, growing cotton yourself is much more cost-effective than buying it. If you can't use it up, you can still sell it."

The cotton production here is not high, and there are relatively few people who grow it.

But if someone needs a lot of cotton, such as Li Changhui and others, if the family is newly divided or is planning to divide, a lot of quilts will be needed, or if the daughter of the family is getting married, quilts should also be prepared in the dowry.

At such a time, buying cotton is definitely not as cost-effective as growing some yourself in advance.

So although few people grow it, everyone knows what cotton looks like.

The uncle said again: "But the cotton has grown up and needs to be pinched. You two young people probably haven't planted it before. When the time comes, ask your aunt and let her teach you, so that the cotton grows better. .”

Lin He nodded hurriedly: "Okay, got it."

The uncle then asked them about the county seat. After all, the county seat was still too far away for everyone, and the carriage fare for a trip alone was already a huge expense.

I've never been there, so I'm curious.

The uncle was very enthusiastic, and Lin He was a little embarrassed, but he still talked a little bit pick and choose.

Fortunately, Li Changhui came back soon, and Lin He breathed a sigh of relief, greeted the uncle, and hurriedly signaled Li Changhui to go home.

On the contrary, when the uncle heard about the events in the county town, he still had a lot to say.
