Chapter 337
It was impossible for Liu Lang to cook porridge because the food was all in Qian's room.
Lao Zhou's old grain has been eaten up a long time ago, and now they are eating new grain that has just been dried in the sun. The new rice that has been shelled from the mill is very fragrant when made into porridge.
On Saturday, Lang just slipped into the room to steal rice and was discovered by Mrs. Qian. Finally, Mrs. He entered the room, scooped out half a bowl of rice and went out to make porridge for Manbao.
Qian called her daughter into the house and asked, "Why did you run home?"
Man Bao pointed at his fingers and said, "I'll come back to get some things..."
Qian didn't ask her what she wanted to bring, and just said: "In the future, when you come back after eating in the school, don't take the food home."
As for San Tou and San Ya Si Tou eating all of Man Bao's food, she didn't blame him or scold him.
Children of this age will not be able to restrain themselves from eating.
Although the Lao Zhou family did not let their children go hungry, it was impossible to feel full no matter how well they ate. It was normal to want to eat.
As long as Manbao doesn't take things home, the children at home won't read them and won't fight about them. This is the best way.
So in the end it was Man Bao who was blamed.
Man Bao lowered his head and listened to the instruction, and said: "Mom, my friend said that people outside eat three meals a day, so that they can grow strong."
"Mom also knows that people who eat four meals a day are stronger than those who eat three meals a day. However, my family does not have the ability to ensure your survival." Qian said: "There is not much rice at home.
It’s enough to last for more than three months. Fortunately, the wheat harvest this year is good. Once the wheat seeds are exchanged for the villagers, the family will start eating noodles.”
Qian said: "Although winter wheat will be planted this year, we still have to leave some more food for next year. If the master gets angry again one day, the family will be prepared."
Therefore, it is impossible to eat white flour. The flour must have some grated bran remaining to make brown or black steamed buns.
Because winter wheat will be planted after the Double Ninth Festival, the villagers were too lazy to rest for a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival and began to come to Lao Zhou's house to see the wheat seeds one after another.
This year's floods have not only severely affected rice, but also wheat. In some households, wheat was even more severely affected than rice.
After all, wheat is less tolerant to waterlogging than rice.
However, the situation of Lao Zhou's family is somewhat exceptional. Everyone has noticed the situation of their wheat field, and everyone secretly guessed that their family's yield per mu should still be around two dan.
And they also saw the heavy wheat ears, so everyone wanted to exchange wheat seeds from him.
One pound for one pound, Lao Zhou's family had long picked out the best wheat seeds, and the rest of the wheat was used for eating, so naturally they didn't mind trading with the villagers.
The replaced wheat was also dried in the sun. Lao Zhou's family put the wheat directly into bags and put it in Lao Zhoutou's room.
Lao Zhoutou still felt that the food at home had to be kept under his nose to feel at ease.
Taking a look at the grain bag in the room every day before going to bed makes him sleep more deeply. When he wakes up and takes another look at the grain bag every day, he feels more energetic.
This is the same reason that Man Bao takes a look at the money box in the system every day before going to bed, and the first time he wakes up he takes a look at the money box in the system.
Since the last transaction of wheat seeds, Dr. D no longer appeared. Man Bao walked around the village with his hands behind his back, and finally sighed at the bird that flew to the book as soon as she passed by.
It seems that we can only go to Brother Zhou Hu for help. https:// https://
Zhou Hu also decided to plant winter wheat, but he planted less. He only exchanged forty kilograms of wheat seeds with Lao Zhou's family and planned to plant about two acres. The fastest update Computer version: https:///
Now he is the only laborer in his family, and he has to take care of his wife and children, so he goes out late and comes back early. When Manbao walked over with his hands behind his back, he was turning manure, intending to dry it in the sun and then go back to spread it in the fields.
Dafu was holding a shovel to help, his head covered with sweat.
Man Bao walked over like a little adult and asked: "Brother Zhou Hu, has your field been plowed?"
Zhou Hu fattened up and said with a smile: "Not yet."
Man Bao said: "How about I ask my elder brother to help you plow the land, and then you can help me catch some birds."
Man Bao pointed to the birds on the tree not far away and said: "It's just that kind. If you want to live, catch more..."
Zhou Hu raised his head and glanced at the birds on the tree, and said with a smile: "If Man Bao wants to play with birds, I will catch two for you later."
"Let's catch him today. It just so happens that my eldest brother and his friends are plowing the fields today, so let them plow your fields as well."
Zhou Hu was stunned, thinking she was telling a joke, but Man Bao obviously wasn't.
She quickly ran to the fields.
Zhou Dalang and the others were plowing the fields, and Man Bao just mentioned it, and Zhou Dalang agreed.
They were originally going to help, but they just came in advance.
Plowing requires at least one person to pull the plow and one person to hold the plow. It is easier to use two people to pull the plow and one person to hold it, like the old Zhou family.
Zhou Hu is the only one in Zhou Hu's family now. Unless he can hoe two acres of land with a hoe, he still has to ask for help.
When Zhou Hu rushed to the field, Zhou Dalang and the others had already put the plow in Zhou Hu's family's field. He was a little moved, but also a little ashamed and ran up to hold the plow, "Your own land hasn't been plowed yet.
how come……"
"Oh, why are you being so polite to us?" Zhou Dalang pushed his shoulder and said with a smile: "My land has been plowed, and we have to move to another place. By the way, I will give you more than an acre of land."
The fields have been plowed."
Zhou Hu decided to plant two fields, this one was more than an acre, and the other was a smaller one near his home, which was closer.
Hearing this, Zhou Hu sniffed his sore nose and did not refuse. He stepped forward and took the rope from Zhou Lang's hand and said, "I'll do it."
Zhou Lang smiled but did not insist and asked him and his eldest brother to pull the plow first.
Zhou Lang held the plow and walked three times before Tuesday Lang and Thursday Lang stepped forward to take over.
Zhou Hu didn't want to change, so Zhou Dalang pulled him away, "Have a rest first, what's the rush?"
Zhou Hu silently plowed the fields with the Zhou brothers. The next day after his own plowing was finished, he continued to the Zhou family's fields.
The Zhou brothers also acquiesced in the cooperation between the two families.
This kind of cooperation model is not uncommon in the village, but more often the two families have almost the same labor force and the same fields to cultivate, so the cooperation between the two families is more efficient and faster.
But the old Zhou family and the Zhou Hu family are obviously not compatible.
But the old Zhou family, who were obviously at a disadvantage, didn't say anything, and no one in the village would say such a thing.
Many people even secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the old Zhou family took over completely, and they no longer had to go to Zhou Hu's family to help.
Otherwise, it will be a burden for them, and also for Zhou Hu's family.
Every time I go to help, I have to eat at least one meal. Zhou Hu's family is not well off now. It's embarrassing to eat, and it's embarrassing not to eat.
Man Bao wanted to ask her bird several times, but seeing that her brothers and Zhou Hu looked tired, she could only say nothing, and then looked at the bird flying between the trees with a sad face, and disappeared after a while.
of birds.
