Vol 2 Chapter 103: busy

In the early morning, he woke up safely and on time, Zhang Guoqing soaked the milk powder, held his son skillfully to breastfeed, and changed the diaper he prepared last night after drinking. He looked at the faint light. The son closed his eyes to drink milk, changed his diaper and fell asleep. He looked funny and kissed the top of his son's head. After listening to the inner room, nothing happened. It is estimated that I was tired a few days ago, and adding red wine will help sleep. Zhang Guoqing gently hugged his son on the kang, slowly lay down beside him, tucked it with a quilt.
In the morning, the chicken crows before it's light. Zhang Guoqing looked at his son with a spirit, and saw that it was almost five o'clock. Later, parents and mothers would also get up, and today his mother-in-law had to get up and take the train. He gently moved away from his son and pulled the small quilt down his neck, fearing that his son's face would be covered, and then wrapped his own big quilt to block the wind. Then I put on clothes, brought towels and toiletries, carefully opened the door of the room, squeezed it out, and then quickly closed the door.
The weather is getting closer to the new year, and it gets colder and colder. It is no different from the winter in the southern Jiangnan region. I don't know if waiting for the winter will be the same as in previous years. He came out in one breath, it was all fog. The morning wind blows the cold to the bones, and stuns the soul abruptly.
Zhang Guoqing immediately went into the kitchen in the dark and skillfully turned on the kerosene lighter brought back from the provincial capital to light the kerosene lamp. He ran to the well and drew a large bucket of water. This well was warm in winter and cool in summer, which he was most satisfied with, so he washed it quickly.
The kerosene lamp had been lit in the east wing of the main house. He walked under the window and greeted him quietly. He took his things quickly and ran to the outside room of the West Wing. When the whole body warmed up, he dared to approach the Kang and look at his son. I looked at the briquettes and it didn't work well, and the temperature in the room wouldn't freeze my son.
Then he went out, took off the two hares from the eaves and went back to the kitchen, took the iron pot from the stove, supported the hares with an iron stand, and baked them slowly. There was no way, because it was inconvenient to roast outside. From time to time, I had to turn the iron frame, and then ran back to see my son. Fortunately, firewood was used at home, so I didn’t need to stare at it. After half an hour, the scent slowly covered the meaty aroma of the stewed meat, and another piece of wood was taken out and placed in the eye of another stove. I grilled it slowly, and in a burst of fragrance, I drew a few knives carefully with a knife, and ran back to see his son. He thought he was very busy. If he had an oven, he would buy it regardless of the price. I was exhausted. I was busy for an hour. I finally finished it. I just put it on the plate, and then put the iron pot on it. Add water to the pot, and then returned to the room with the plate. The smell immediately filled the nose and the room was full of barbecue. Fragrance.
Zhou Jiao slept in a daze. Just biting a chicken leg in her dream, she suddenly heard a burst of fragrance, like a dream but not a dream, a Ji Ling woke up. After staring at her mother for a long time, she remembered where she was. Seeing that the outer door was ajar, Zhang Guoqing was poking the briquettes there, afraid of awakening her mother, and hurriedly shook her with his hands.
Zhang Guoqing felt that someone was staring at him behind him. He turned around and looked at him. He was immediately happy. Seeing her shaking her hands vigorously, she rolled her eyes when something happened, and she was still shouting silently.
He returned to the Kang bed and held his son with the little quilt. When he returned to Zhou Jiao's place, Shi Shi asked her to move inward a little. He put his son directly and gently outside, and gently placed his quilt into a fence outside the meeting room and placed it outside his son's body. It's over, relieved, the two smiled silently.
Zhang Guoqing was afraid that she would be hungry, and pointed to her belly and mouth, and then to the soup-drinking gesture. Watching Zhou Jiao shook her head, Bi Jubi stayed with them to sleep, and pointed to her son to be more careful. Seeing her nodding, she pointed out that she was going out.
Zhou Jiao wanted to ask him, what is so fragrant? But after thinking it over. Seeing him gesticulating, he couldn't help but shook his hand to let him go out.
Zhang Guoqing was relieved, this is tired. I left the door and walked towards the kitchen. I didn't see his mother. It was almost six o'clock and I usually got up. I came out and looked at the main landlord’s wing. Worried and anxiously entered the room, only to see that they were about to get up.
"Daddy, isn't it uncomfortable?" Zhang Guoqing looked at his father worriedly, and then at his mother.
Mother Zhang laughed and said strangely: "What are you thinking about, I didn't go to work today, there is meat stewed in the pot, and I don't worry about making breakfast. I let your father lie down for a while, he can't lie down, we are planning to get up and forget it. "
"Usually you all get up at around five o'clock. I see you light up the lights and decide what is going on. Dad, I will go to the backyard to see if there is any work to do." After that, he left first.
There are no more vegetables in the backyard now. He hasn't been at home these days. It seems that potatoes and sweet potatoes have been dug up, and even Chinese cabbage has been collected. Zhang Guoqing thought for a while, what did he do at this time in previous years, looked around, walked to the woodshed, picked up the and tried to turn the ground over. This body is good at farm work. He knows how to do farm work and hunting. He has great strength. One person can do more than three others. Fortunately, he crossed over with his memory, otherwise, he would not know how to farm or hunt.
Following the memory and relying on his own eyesight, Zhang Guoqing started hoeing the sweet potato fields. Strong strength is the benefit. When his father came, he went through the sweet potato fields. It was dawn, and he didn't talk to his father. If he did more work, the family would have fewer people, and the family would have no time to build a house. When it snows and freezes, the can't the ground anymore, and there is no time to cry. Then, he went to the cabbage field. Be careful with that. The cabbage root is what his mother wanted, so he slowed down and didn't pick up the cabbage root. When the second wife feeds the pigs, he will come up to help.
When his father also took the and started working from there, he had already reached the potato field quickly, and the two of them occasionally said a few words without chattering, and were busy working. When his second sister-in-law comes out, cook the pig food and feed the pigs. When the cabbage field was filled with bamboo baskets for cabbage roots, their father and son had already hoeed the ground in the backyard. Just waiting to be fattened at night, he refused this, also because Zhang Guoqing did not like to fertilize before.
"Father, it's all done, and I will fertilize at night, so I won't intervene. See if there is any more work to do? Nothing, I go up the mountain to collect firewood. This year, I will definitely not have enough firewood."
"Go, come back before breakfast, don't go too far inside. My brother and I are going to reserve our own land, and we will also the land there. The three of me have enough, and we have done half of them." Zhang father looked at the backyard. He took a sigh of relief and looked at the little son enviously. This strength is really good, one person can do three. Yesterday, the three people on the private plot were still halfway there before they started work. The backyard was so big, just seeing him wake up in the morning and feel that he is now, and he didn't catch his breath, and finished it easily.
Zhang Guoqing put the away, took the machete, rope and pole and walked in the back door. Many women in the village like to go to Beishan to collect firewood, so there is no dry wood in the periphery. He walked forward along the mountain road, found a place, put down the pole and rope, without using a machete, went straight forward, using thin hands and thick feet in the dead trees, and there was a crackling sound. Moved to another place soon.
After a meeting, I guessed it was almost the same, looked at his watch, it was time for dinner, and he had to go back to see Jiaojiao's confinement meal. Quickly gather the firewood in a pile, trim it with a machete, and tie it up with a rope. Five big bundles were tied up, four bundles hung on the two ends of the poles, and they were carried, carrying a bundle with their hands, and went in easily to the back door of the house.
Mother Zhang stood at the back door watching him come back, calling him from a distance, and when he unloaded the firewood and put it in the firewood room, the firewood room was full.
"Xiao Wu, you have hoeed your backyard earlier. Why did you go to collect firewood without taking a break? Go back to the main room to drink some water and have a meal. Your child is really good too. Work slowly. Look at you. You won’t be tired after picking up so much. Don’t be stupid next time, you still have two older brothers.
Zhang Mu hated the iron and nodded with her finger.
Zhang Guoqing smiled and didn't say anything. He knew his mother felt sorry for him, so he was reluctant to do heavy work, and always forgot that he was strong.
After breakfast, Zhang Guoqing took a look at the wild boar outside the kitchen. It was drained. He took the wrapper and packed it directly. He directly packed it into a bag, plus the three from yesterday. There are four packages, all close to 400 jin. Seriously, he shed tears for his mother-in-law. I have to send a telegram early in the afternoon, or I can't take it home. When these four packages arrived, he directly approached the conductor and asked him to send them out of the station. Pack the valuables such as wolf fur and ginseng and carry them with you. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was afraid that there would be too many people to build the house, so he put all the four packages on the car and locked it, after thinking about it, he took two hares and put them next to him.
Look at the time now at 6:30. He changed his clothes and asked his mother to clean up. He was about to leave. When he arrived at the provincial capital, he bought a ticket, and then he would eat first and then board the train. The time was also very fast.
Zhang Guoqing came to the West Wing and saw that his mother-in-law was already packing her luggage. The soldiers did not pack badly. He cut the roasted rabbit with a knife, went to the head of the rabbit, left the thighs and meat, wrapped it in greased paper, added the pastries brought back from the provincial capital, and wrapped it into small packets with the apples Jiaojiao gave. . "Mom, this is for food. You can summarize it. It's about to leave at 7:00."
Lin Lishan took it smoothly. She hadn't found the package on the car, so she would say goodbye to Zhou Jiao. The two mother and daughter talked reluctantly in tears. Wait until Mother Zhang comes. Zhou Jiao couldn't hold back her tears as she watched her mother leave. Lin Lishan went outside the door of the West Wing, wiped her tears, looked back, and after listening, she left cruelly.
Zhang Guoqing carried her luggage and parcels and comforted her as she walked: "Mom, you will come back to see her in a few days, and you can go to the capital to look for you when you are safer. You will see you soon, and wait a few years. You are not busy with work, Jiaojiao and Ping An go to the capital, you can see every day."
Mother Zhang also comforted her while wiping tears.
Zhang Guoqing took the car key and drove the car, and waited for them to get in the car before saying goodbye to everyone. Lin Lishan repeatedly expressed her gratitude and asked them to take care of Jiaojiao as her sister-in-law. Everyone reluctantly said goodbye, and when the car was out of sight, they couldn't see it before they dispersed to work. Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua went into the western wing room together, looked at Zhou Jiao, comforted her.
