The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 29 Chapter 29

Li Yu entered the house and put the wheat seeds and rapeseed seeds into the space, went to the kitchen to grab some peppercorns and cinnamon... put them in the pot and boiled them, filter out the aniseed, and scoop out the boiled aniseed water to hang on In an empty oil barrel.

Turn around and go to the wing room, pour the moldy watercress in the bamboo board into the big wooden basin and bring it to the well, rinse the moldy watercress with water, pour it into the bamboo board and spread it out to dry the water, pour it into the cold water, add salt and Soaked in white wine.

  Zhao Di put away the dried chili and gave it to Li Yu, looking at the Douban in the wooden barrel, "Cousin, are you going to start making Douban?"

  Li Yu nodded, "Yeah! You go to choose the dishes and leave it to me."

   "Okay, I received a lot of cowpeas today, and the sauce pot may not be enough."

   "You make lunch first, and then let Ah Qing go to the earth kiln and let him deliver the sauce jars and jars."

"Okay." Zhao Di went to wash and cook, Li Yu went to the eaves porch and stored some peppers and cowpeas in the space, and went back to the eaves porch to start chopping the peppers. She saw that she was holding a kitchen knife in both hands, and she opened the bow to the left and right to swing the kitchen knife. Quickly, bang dong... chopped up.

Chen Shi also arrived at the entrance of Xishan Village at this time, and saw a few old men and a few wives sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and smiled politely at them, "A few uncles and aunts are enjoying the cool here. ?"

   Several people glanced at her and nodded with a smile. An old woman saw that she looked a little like Chen Zhaodi and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you here to visit relatives?"

  Chen shi smiled, "No, I want to ask you some questions!"

   "What are you talking about?" The old woman said with a smile.

   "I want to ask how the girl from the Li family who retired from the Zhang family is like? I heard that she is fierce now."

The old woman glanced at her, "The girl is a stand-up now, plus she is strong, you don't know that she beat up Zhang Decai and his wife that day, oh yo! The two of them together are not her alone. My opponent, that girl used to be quiet before, but now she seems to be a formidable one."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen thought to herself: Zhang Decai is strong and strong, but Mrs. Zhao is not usually tall and big. Even he can't beat the girl. Chunsheng's small body can't stand her toss, and he can't buy it with money. When it comes to my son, we dare not have such a daughter-in-law.

  After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen stood up and smiled at the old lady: "Auntie, thank you very much. I have something to do at home, so I will go back first."

  The old woman looked at her and nodded, watching her go away, the old woman sitting next to her said, "I remember that she seems to be Chen's cousin! Why did she come to inquire about Xiaoyu?"

  The old woman curled her lips, "I'm sure she's not at ease, she won't come if she looks like this."

  Zhao Di came out after finishing the meal and saw that Li Yu had already chopped half a pot of peppers, and called everyone who was working home to prepare the meal.

   Li Mei went home and saw cowpeas and peppers piled up under the eaves, "Why did you collect so many today? I'm afraid there are more than a dozen stones in total!"

   Zhao Di replied, "Seven stones of pepper, six or seven stones of cowpea, and kohlrabi. Mother, people from several villages have come to sell vegetables at home, just like going to a market."

  Li Qing looked at Li Yu's fingers that were red with hot peppers, frowned and said to Li Yu, "Sister, go to the woods in the afternoon to dig fertile soil with Brother An, and I will chop peppers at home."

   "Your thin arms and small hands can chop a few pounds of chili peppers!" Li Mei pointed at Liu Changmin with a smile, "Let your uncle chop chili peppers at home, he has a rough skin and thick flesh and is not afraid of spicy food."

  Liu Changmin smiled honestly, "Yeah! I chop it at home, I have thick skin and I'm not afraid of spicy food."

   Everyone sat at the table eating and said, Xiao An looked at the warm scene of Li Yu's family and remembered the deserted home, bowing his head and paddling rice.

  Li Mei put some meat dishes in his bowl, "Xiao An, don't just eat rice, eat some dishes."

  Xiao An's heart is warm, "Aunt Li, I'm eating, you eat too."

After dinner, Li Qing went to the earth kiln workshop to ask for a sauce jar. Everyone sat and chose dishes for a while and rested for a while. Laidi and Zhaodi stayed at home to choose vegetables, Liu Changmin stayed at home to chop peppers, and Li Yu and Xiao An went to the forest to dig fertilizer. earth.

  Li Qing took the sauce jar and the clay pot back to exchange for Li Yu and paid the money. Li Yu sent the potter Luo back to the house to clean up the kohlrabi that the two Zhao Di sisters had cleaned up, washed them with cowpeas and put them on the bamboo plaque. Then I put the pickles that Shopkeeper Liu asked for in a bamboo basket, and went back to the kitchen to chop peppers again.

   The brothers and sisters Zhang Guisheng returned to Qingshan City. Zhang Guisheng went to ask Zhang Defa and said, "Dad, when did Li Yu change so that he was almost unrecognizable."

Zhang Defa remembered these days, in order to buy money and Zhang Guisheng's betrothal gifts, begging for help everywhere, he was not angry, "That bitch, since the day your mother and sister forced her to break off the marriage, she has changed. You don't need to pay attention to her. Rest in peace and wait to marry Miss Zhu's family!"

   Zhang Guisheng heard his father say that Li Yu became like this because he broke off the marriage. For some reason, he was secretly delighted, "Father, I understand, I'm going to read a book."

   Zhang Defa looked at his son with relief, "Go!"

  Chen Zhaodi looked at Zhang Guixiang who was crying and comforted her softly: "Good girl, if you hold on for a few more days, your father will let someone clean her up."

   Zhang Guixiang rolled over from the bed and threw herself into Chen Zhaodi's arms, "Mother, remember to help me out when the time comes." Chen Zhaodi nodded and patted her vest lightly.

Li Yu didn't know that the Zhang family was still thinking about paying her back, and was chopping peppers with gnashing teeth. Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu cheerfully, "Little fish! You've almost cut through the cutting board, and there's not much left. Just go play for a while!"

   Old Li Yu blushed, "Uncle, I'm fine, you see, there are still a bunch of them that you can't finish by yourself until dawn."

   "You're a kid who wants to be strong." Liu Changmin quickened his speed, and the two insisted that there were still two baskets of chili peppers left in the evening. Li Yu swung around in the yard with his sore and swollen hands.

When Li Mei and the others came back, they saw more than a dozen jars of chopped chili peppers in the yard, as well as cowpeas and shredded kohlrabi full of bamboo racks. They smiled and praised them, "You guys are too quick! I did this in one afternoon. eventful."

  Zhao Di came out with a low table, "Mother, didn't you see my cousin almost chopped through the cutting board."

   Li Yu smiled, "It's not my fault! The shredded cabbage was cut by Zhao Di and Laidi's cousin."

  Li Qing looked at several people and said with a smile: "Sister, cousin, you have worked hard."

   Li Mei patted A Qing's head, "A Qing and Xiao An also worked hard. The two dug up all the fertile soil in that forest, and piled up several composts next to the wasteland!"

"Everyone has worked hard. My cousin asked me to cook chicken soup." Zhao Di put the chicken soup on the table and turned to look at Li Yu, "Hey! Cousin, I just wanted to ask you, where did you get the pheasant from? ?"

"Didn't I just go out and sneak around? I was fighting in the woods at that time." Li Yu casually said nonsense. After a lively meal, Liu Changmin and Li Mei sent Xiao An to his door before returning. home.

   Qian Shi looked at Xiao An's cheerful expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

   Li Mei returned home and Li Yu took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to Li Mei, "Auntie, you can use this money to repair the house."

  Li Mei took the silver and held it in her arms, looking at Li Yu gratefully, "Yu'er, aunt will slowly save the money to pay you back."

"Aunt, if you say this again, you don't treat our siblings as your relatives, and I can't pick the wolfberry on the mountain without the help of you and my two cousins, and which of these pickles at home didn't you help to make together? from!"

  Li Mei and Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu, and Liu Changmin's eyes were red, "Yu'er, uncle will always remember your kindness for helping."

  Li Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so outrageous!" Liu Changmin scratched his head and said, "Hey, hey" and laughed.

Li Mei arranged, "Tomorrow before the rainy season, my uncle and I will go back to the village chief to buy the foundation, hire craftsmen to build the shed, and the fish will be almost there, and then Zhaodi and Laidi will be alone. Come back and help."

   "Okay, just do as you said." Liu Changmin said cheerfully.

"Then go to work quickly." Li Mei took Liu Changmin and helped Li Yu to chop all the peppers out. Li Yu and the others also washed the cowpeas and kohlrabi and dried them under the porch before washing their sore body. Take a shower and go back to sleep.

The next morning, Li Mei and his wife returned to Dongshan Village, and Li Qing was also going to school. Li Yu took two jars of pickles and handed them to Li Qing, "Aqing, this is for your husband to thank him for helping us write. "

  Li Qing took the bamboo basket, "Okay, sister, don't be too tired at home, I'll come back after school to help."

"Got it, let's go! I'll be late later." Li Yu went to the wasteland, Chen Yaohui and a few working villagers were already plowing the land, and Xiao An came back with the grass full of grass and fell to the wasteland to feed Cattle.

  Chen Yaohui asked Li Yu loudly, "Xiaoyu, what are you planning to grow in these fields?"

   Li Yu said loudly, "Uncle Chen, I plan to plant winter wheat and rapeseed."

   "Rape?" Chen Yaohui asked curiously, "What is that thing grown for?" Li Yu also felt strange, "Press the oil to eat! Have you ever grown it before? The plain oil sold in the town costs 30 cents a pound!"

  Chen Yaohui shook his head, "I haven't planted it before. That vegetable oil is eaten by vegetarians, and the cooking has a strange smell."

   "Oh." Li Yu finally understood why everyone stopped planting rapeseed. Li Yu asked Xiao An to continue digging for fertile soil and went home by himself.
