After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

The next morning.

The bright spring sun shines on the earth, changing the lifeless appearance of yesterday, and making the small deserted village that was originally ruined look better.

Thanks to the blessing of the original owner's memory, Zhu Jiangjiang quickly adapted to life in Xiaohuang Village.

I found a cloth bag and took out about ten catties of rice from the space.

However, in order not to be suspected by the villagers, she only took a small amount of rice to cook porridge. If the villagers asked her, she was ready to say that it was the ration saved by the Pei family...

Wild vegetables are in full bloom in early spring. In order to save some rations, Pei Xiaoyu, who eats wild vegetables three times a day, smells the porridge and runs out.

"Are you awake?" Zhu Jiangjiang raised his head and smiled at her, "Go wash your face and have breakfast."

Although the little girl is her sister-in-law, she is still a six-year-old child, her clothes are not neatly dressed, and her hair has not been tied up since yesterday.

Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward to help her dress, and tied two fishbone braids for her.

Pei Xiaoyu, who had never felt such a sharp head, was so happy that she ran to show off to her friends in the village without eating.

"Sister-in-law, Grandpa Xu said that the rice should be saved for farming, and that's the only way to work hard. Why are we eating it now?"

Sitting on the threshold, after eating a bowl, Zhu Jiangjiang let her eat another bowl. Pei Xiaoyu asked curiously only after she was full.

"because……"

Looking at the fields not far from the door, he raised a big smiling face, "Because my sister-in-law can make money, we don't need to save on food in the future. My sister-in-law can make you full every day and buy you new clothes to wear, but you Don't go out and tell your friends, or we won't be able to keep our rice."

She still decided to be on the defensive, and she was determined not to let the news leak out from the children... Pei Xiaoyu didn't understand the reason why she was guilty of pregnant Bi, but she did.

"Oh, I know, sister-in-law." Pei Xiaoyu nodded seriously and agreed.

She can only eat as much as her sister-in-law comes. She doesn't want to go back to the days when she ate wild vegetables three times a day. She wants to listen to her sister-in-law and protect their rice!

"Hurry up and eat, we have to tidy up the land at home after eating."

Although I learned from Mrs. Xu yesterday that people here are not fond of drinking tea, nor do they know how to fry or make tea, but sugar water is the way of hospitality here.

But the most important thing now is farming. After the spring planting is over, it is still too late to think about how to change this "way of hospitality".

There was only a hoe among the original tools of the Pei family, Zhu Jiangjiang took it, so Pei Xiaoyu could only carry a basket and sickle, and go out with her.

Several villagers have come to the field, most of them are here to dig wild vegetables, and they all carry baskets in their arms.

"It's the little sister-in-law of the Pei family. There are a lot of wild vegetables here. Come and dig together." The women warmly invited Zhu Jiangjiang.

But Zhu Jiangjiang rejected their kindness with a smile, and explained: "I'm going to rake the ground. My sisters are busy first, so I won't bother you."

"Going to rake the ground so soon?" Everyone wondered.

There are still ten days before the spring planting, so it's too early to start work now, isn't it?

"The Pei family is so lucky to have married a hardworking daughter-in-law." In the end, everyone could only attribute this to Zhu Jiangjiang's diligence.

Zhu Jiangjiang had to be diligent.

She is eager to know whether the seeds of high-yield food in the 21st century in the space can be planted here.

If she can, then she will directly change the farming of this era!

However, her mother-in-law, whom she had never met, didn't seem to know much about the land, and the conditions of the Pei family's land seemed to be much worse than those of other families.

Other people's fields grow wild vegetables at most, but their Pei family's field does not grow wild vegetables, but tall weeds.

Pei Xiaoyu seemed to see that Zhu Jiangjiang was a little angry, so she carefully defended her mother, "Since father left, mother's health has been poor, and the fields have not been taken care of for a long time."

Moreover, you are looking at the land that our family has not planted for several years...

Pei Xiaoyu didn't dare to say this.

Their Pei family has not planted any land other than the land in front of the house in the past few years, so it has become so barren.

Zhu Jiangjiang sighed silently, "Forget it, let's start from the beginning!"

"Little fish, give me the knife, and go dig wild vegetables with your friends."

She didn't think a little girl who was only around her waist could mow such hard grass, so she should do it herself.

In the next two days, almost everyone in Xiaohuang Village could see Zhu Jiangjiang bending over and mowing grass alone in the field.

At first, everyone thought she was honest and only knew how to work with her head down.

It wasn't until a fire broke out that everyone knew that she was so daring!

After Zhu Jiangjiang surrounded the weeds in the field along the edge of the ridge, there was no movement inside.

Then, she found a handful of dead grass and lit the fire directly from the direction the wind was blowing.

The fire started, but she didn't leave right away.

The spring breeze should not be underestimated. The fire burned bigger and bigger, and the smoke became bigger and bigger. The raging fire attracted the attention of the villagers.

The fire burned for a whole day, and it can be regarded as burning all the weeds in the field.

As soon as the fire extinguished, Zhu Jiangjiang went to open the mouth of the river to flow into the field canal. The river flowed along the ditches and soaked through countless canals separated by field ridges before flowing into her field.

She also picked up a few pieces of burnt limestone on the burnt ridge and brought them home.

The burned soil becomes new soil, which is filled with river water and various elements left by plant ash. After a few days of retting, the new soil quality can be replanted.

During the few days of waiting, Zhu Jiangjiang adjusted the lime water, soaked the seeds in the water, and waited for the seeds to germinate.

"Xiaoyu, sister-in-law is going to the city later, will you go?"

Zhu Jiangjiang dug out the existing things in Pei's house and looked again. This house has everything, but everything is broken.

The torn clothes and quilts are fine, the farm tools and kitchen utensils are also torn, and the roof seems to be leaking. If the spring rains come down in a few days, they will be finished.

Taking advantage of her free time, she plans to go to the city to have a look, see if there are any opportunities to make money, and inquire about tea by the way.

Pei Xiaoyu has become her follower, but today he unexpectedly shook his head and refused to go to the city with her.

"I told Sister Cuihua that I'm going to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain today."

"That's fine, I'll go by myself. Be careful when you dig wild vegetables, you know?"

After a few words of advice, Zhu Jiangjiang changed into better clothes, set foot on the deserted official road, and headed towards the city.

Villagers passing by to chop firewood saw her go and thought she had gone back to her natal family.

But who knows, she went to the city, and when she came back, she was covered in blood and turned into a pig butcher.
