MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 57 The unchanged purpose of the courtyard

Chapter 57 The unchanged purpose of the courtyard

 After years of unremitting efforts, five acres of land have now been harvested.

Potatoes were put into more than a dozen sacks and thrown directly into the warehouse.

 Corn is also turned into corn kernels, and some are even ground into corn meal.

 Thinking about the sweet corn tortillas will make you want to eat the good news.

 But no, this corn flour is prepared for so many mouths in the small courtyard, she has no share at all!

 The four little piglets are not well fed on weekdays. Most of the time, they are thrown in a few cabbages to deal with them.

 So, they don’t grow very fast.

 Half a year has passed and it is only eighty or ninety pounds, which is very pitiful.

 In the future, with cornmeal, you can gain weight.

However, if you want to eat meat, you can’t.

 Four little piglets, when I bought them, I specially picked two males and two females.

 Daji from the countryside of his hometown are native pigs raised by fellow villagers nearby.

  It does not grow as fast as those specially bred for fattening pigs, but the meat is more fragrant.

 Even the boar has not been bred and has maintained its fertility.

I look forward to the good news and take good care of him for another two years.

 The two young piglets will fall in love and then have children.

 When her children have children, she will have endless pork to eat.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

 The four little pigs didn’t know that because of their fertility, they escaped the fate of being knifed soon...

The ducks and geese are also pretty good.

Wandering around every day, finding some snacks for myself, and some vegetables and leaves are enough.

 One egg a day, occasionally one every two days.

 A group of model workers have already filled the Li family’s salted egg jar with two.

 It was the chicks who lived the happiest life.

 Two roosters, each with a harem of seven or eight hens, could half fly with their wings. They often ran to the fields behind to steal corn to eat, and each ate smoothly.

It’s just the beginning of spring, and already some hens have laid down more than 20 eggs.

 It can’t be said that within a month, there will be dozens of fluffy chicks in the small courtyard.

This is why Jiayin held back her saliva and never thought of killing chickens except to replenish her mother's body while fleeing the desert.

 Long-term planning and sustainable development are the constant purpose of the courtyard.

Now I am waiting for my family to start farming, and then I will plant three acres of sorghum, one acre of potatoes, and one acre of corn.

Sorghum is used to supplement the family’s field output, and potatoes and corn are used to feed chickens and pigs.

Corn stalks and corn husks can both make fire.

 It will come in handy when the time comes to cook cooked food for the pigs.

In addition to these, Jiayin also added a big job to himself, which was to find stones around the five acres of land, and even removed all the stones for the courtyard wall behind.

 She cleaned all the stones and placed them in the middle of the yard. The most conspicuous location is also the most accessible location.

 This is the self-protection method she prepared for herself, but unfortunately, she hasn’t had a chance to practice it yet.

 Otherwise, she wanted to see if she could move the stones out.

 It is best to appear at an altitude of more than ten meters and land on the target accurately.

 Let alone a human being, a cow can be killed immediately.

I have to say that Wu Ergou secretly took her to the casino, which still left a shadow on her heart.

 That kind of powerless fear, she didn’t want to experience it a second time...

Season is a magical thing. A few years ago, the cold wind cut my face and I was too cold to hold it.

 But once the Chinese New Year is over, less than a month before and after, the weather changes drastically.

 The cold wind is gentler, and the sun is brighter and warmer.

On the hillside and in the ground, the snow melted rapidly, returning the original color of the sky and the earth, faintly filled with vitality.

The boys were not allowed to go to the river. From time to time, the old lady would pick up the ears of those who were disobedient and beat them until they screamed.

The Li family doesn't have to do this, because the lessons of Jiaxi and Jiaan are so profound that they have a long memory.

 The ten acres of land purchased by the Li family had been abandoned for two years and had a lot of weeds growing on it.

　　　The brothers of the Li family took some work early and went to the fields to cut grass and burn wasteland.

Jiaren has already started school. He has brought the food prepared by his family, as well as the change for three months of training in the spring and food.

Jiayi was taken away by Liu Biaotou before the first month of the year.

I heard that it’s not far this time and you can make a round trip in a month. Jia Huan followed her mother Zhao Yuru and aunt Tao Hongying and went out to cook the stove twice more.

 He is now a qualified kitchen helper, good at chopping and garnishing vegetables.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru discussed it and often let Jia Huan cook at home.

 Don’t worry about whether it tastes good or not, it’s all our own, no one can pick it.

Humistically speaking, there are not many people who can work in the fields. Only the second child, the third child, and the fourth child were left, along with the two boys Jiaxi and Jiaan.

 Fortunately, the Li family only bought ten acres of land.

 With Li Laosi's natural power, he can handle three of them, so he is quite busy.

 The people in the village were not in a hurry at first, but when they saw the Li family taking action, they all became busy.

Jiayin was so anxious that he was rolling around in the room, it was really boring.

 She wants to go out!

 But the weather outside was still too cold for a little baby like her.

Old Mrs. Li was very guarded and would never let her granddaughter leave her eyes for a moment, not even Tao Hongying.

Even breastfeeding has to be done in the house, and Tao Hongying is happy with this.

I have to say that the loss of the child left a shadow on the family.

Jiayin had no choice but to practice crawling hard.

 But who will tell her why she has to climb up like a frog and kick her legs hard to run farther?

This posture is too ugly and not suitable for a beautiful girl like her!

Jiaxi Jiaan ran in from outside. Seeing that her sister was flushed from exhaustion, she couldn't help but step forward to tease her.

 “Haha, my sister is like a big toad.”

 “Sister, work harder, yes, kick your legs, kick your legs!”

When Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter turned over and became motionless, she guessed that she was angry, so she quickly yelled at her grandchildren.

　　"Have you followed me to the fields? You are as dirty as mud monkeys and you haven't washed yourself yet!"

Jiaxi and Jiaan ran out in a hurry, making trouble and being extremely naughty.

　Old Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and coaxed her.

“Don’t be angry, Fu Niuer. Grandma will take you out to bask in the sun.”

 The good news immediately made him happy and danced.

 She has been trapped in the room for a month, but she is suffocating her to death.

After Mrs. Li wrapped the good news into a cotton ball, Mr. Li who went to the city also came back.

 He drove the donkey cart of the village chief's family and said loudly with a smile.

“Mom, I bought sorghum seeds and millet. There are many more people in the city than before, and everyone is busy farming.”

 Old Mrs. Li stepped forward to take a look and also smiled.

"As the days pass, everyone starts to get busy. Whether the year will be good or not depends on spring, no one dares to be lazy."

Jiayin looked straight at the bags of grain and seeds on the donkey cart, her eyes shining.

 There are no sorghum seeds in the fields in her small courtyard.

 I can’t say I’m going to be a thief again.

Li Laoer carried the seeds into the warehouse and was about to return the donkey cart.

Old Mrs. Li went through the inventory at home and kept it.

Taking this opportunity, Jiayin stretched out her little hand and put the bag of fine seeds into the space.

 Old Mrs. Li turned around and was startled by the empty ground.

 Where are the grain bags?

She looked around but couldn't find it anywhere.

 Looking at the smiling granddaughter, there is nothing else I don’t understand.

She lowered her voice and asked her granddaughter secretly, "Fu Niu'er, do you want the seeds to be useful?"

 “Ah.” Jiayin responded.

“Are these enough? Do you want your second uncle to buy more?”

 “Ah, ah.”

“What about millet and vegetable seeds? Do you want them too?”

Grandparents and grandson were having a lively time asking and answering questions, but Li Laoer left and came back again.

 He shouted in the courtyard, "Mom, the village chief and some old uncles are here."

Orange Mrs. Li quickly picked up the good news and went out. Sure enough, the village chief and several old men next door were all in the courtyard.

 This is obviously something to say!
