The ordinary countryside has been reborn.

Chapter 67

"It didn't rain for more than half a month. Fortunately, the village organized and dug the canal early and opened the well on the mountain."

When Li Mei returned home, she sat down on the bamboo chair on the steps. She wiped the sweat from her face and panted, "Otherwise, the rice in the field will have problems."

Water shortage and drought in early rice may lead to a reduction in production, and if the drought is severe, it may also result in only half of the harvest.

For farmers, the production of grain is the top priority. If there is grain in the warehouse, they will not panic.

Now is an important period for rice. Only when it is irrigated by rain, can it grow vigorously if it is full of food and drink.

Tian Zhi was turning on the faucet to wash off the mud on his feet. He joked with a smile: "Look, we still have to rely on our men to do things in the fields, right? What do you women know? When you think about it, the fields will be completely dry! "

"Yes, yes, you men are the best at this point!"

Seeing his frightened look, Li Mei said very cooperatively.

She is a little funny, this man likes to be hugged, just like a child.However, when it comes to things in the field, it is true that men know better.

After Tian Zhi finished washing, Li Mei walked to the faucet and smelled the aroma of vegetables wafting from the kitchen.

"Yuanyuan, are you cooking?"

She was too tired when she just came back, and she was covered in stinky sweat, but she didn't pay attention to it.

Tian Yuan was cooking in the kitchen, but couldn't hear Li Mei's voice, so Tian Yu ran out when she heard the sound, and saw Tian Zhi was resting on a chair, and Li Mei was still washing his hands.

Tian Yu said: "Yes, the second sister came back in the afternoon, and she is cooking."

"Oh, why is she back?" Li Mei asked, Tian Zhi also cast a puzzled look.

Since the delivery date was fixed, Tianyuan hasn't been back for many days. I don't know if there is something wrong when I come back this time.

Tian Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know, she bought a lot of delicious food back."

Tian Yu's focus was on food, and Li Mei didn't ask her any more.

At the dinner table, seeing the sumptuous dishes on the table, Li Mei asked curiously, "Yuanyuan, is there something wrong this time?"

At Li Mei's place, when there is nothing to do and no guests, there will be no meat dishes at home.

"Mom, isn't this about to be harvested soon? I'll make it up for you and Dad in advance!"

Tian Yuan turned his head to look at Tian Zhi who was eating fast, "Look at Dad, you are so thin, if you don't make up for it, you won't have the energy to work."

When Tian Zhi heard his daughter's thoughtful words, he raised his head in the midst of his hectic schedule, and he did not forget to pick up a piece of meat with his left hand and stuff it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and then swallowed it.

He just smiled and said: "It's because my homeland knows how to care about my father. Recently, my family has eaten well, and I do feel that my body is stronger than before!"

Tian Yuan picked up a big bone and put it in the Tian Zhi bowl, and said, "Yes, Dad has worked too hard, you need to eat more."

Seeing Tian Zhi take it with a smile, Li Mei looked at him proudly and gave him a supercilious look, but she didn't say anything.In the past, the family's conditions were too poor to afford meat, but now she and Tianyuan can earn money, and she will no longer be as harsh on food as before.

Tian Yuan took another piece of meat with chopsticks for Li Mei, and said to her: "Mom, I won't live at my aunt's house in the future, you go to the field, and leave the housework to me!"

Li Mei asked suspiciously, "Then what about your stall?"

"Liu Meixiang is watching, she will give me a share of the money, you don't have to worry."

Tian Yuan didn't want to say too much, for fear that Li Mei would fall into anxiety again because she was worried about losing this stable income.

Li Mei disagreed, and she said sternly, "If you don't go, someone will give you a share of the money? What do you say? You have to charge less. Although our family is poor, we can't take advantage of your classmates."

"Well, we've already negotiated, and we didn't take advantage of anyone, so don't worry!"

After the meal, Li Mei and his wife took a shower and went out for a walk after a short rest.

Now that Tianyuan is back and there is an extra helper at home, they can let go of some small things.

Tian Yuan was washing the dishes, Tian Yu picked up the broom and cleaned the kitchen, "Second Sister, do you want to go out and watch TV later?"

Afraid that Tian Yuan would disagree, she hurriedly continued: "The White Snake is almost coming to an end now, don't you want to watch it?"

"Go and see, I still have to feed the pigs." Tian Yuan replied without raising his head.

There is no detergent now, and we use plant ash to wash the dishes. After she finished washing, the water in the basin turned gray.

When Tian Yu heard that Tian Yuan agreed with her to watch TV, she immediately became happy. She swept the floor quickly, and her speed was more than doubled compared to the slow look just now.She completely ignored Tian Yuan's second sentence, and her mind was already on the TV.

After Tian Yu left, Tian Yuan was slowly busy in the kitchen alone.

First, go to the stove to scoop out half of the bucket of pig food, put it in a special iron pot to heat it up, and while waiting, Tian Yuan sits on a bamboo chair beside him and thinks about things.

It was not completely dark yet, the colorful clouds outside the house shone in, and the kitchen showed a reddish color.

There was a whirring sound of water, and the lid of the pot was lifted and then dropped.The water in the pot boiled, steaming hot into the air, and then vanished into nothingness.The same is true of the past in memory. After the excitement, it calms down again, and the emotions gradually dissipate.

She is no longer in a hurry to make a lot of money.I am still young, and with the current situation, it is still too difficult to make a lot of money in this poor town.It's not bad if it can make parents no longer worry about tuition fees.Take your time, everything, and then plan after the college entrance examination.

Now, let's feed the pigs first!

Tianyuan got up and lifted the lid of the pot, poured the pig food into the bucket, added a large spoonful of bran into it, stirred it, and carried it to the pigsty house.

While still on the road, I heard the screams of pigs. It seemed that I was hungry, so Tianyuan quickened his pace.

The pigsty house is built next to the vegetable field, which is more convenient for fertilization.A boxy one made of cement, about eight or nine square meters, with a 1.2-meter-high wall, with a few logs on top, and straw piled on top of the logs.

When Tianyuan arrived in front of the house, the big fat pig inside jumped up immediately, and stepped on the fence with two front hooves, which happened to block the pig food bowl inside.

After pumping it a few times, the pig still just screamed, "Give me some food!"
It didn't move half a step away at all, so Tianyuan had to use some strength to push it down, and then she picked up the bucket and poured the pig food into the bowl, and the bucket fell down with a "crash", and the pig ran away immediately Come over and eat "hangchihangchi".

Seeing it eating happily, Tianyuan thought to himself, this pig must not be sold this year, and he has to keep it for his own food!
In the past, in order to save tuition fees, the family had to sell the pigs that had been raised for a year, usually for more than 200 yuan, and less than yuan.

This is the norm in the village. Everyone has no other source of income and can only rely on raising pigs for some money.

Every household in the village raises pigs, but none of them raise pigs for their own food.
