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

"I'm exhausted!"

Zhu Jiangjiang held the gourd handle on his shoulder with one hand and pig blood and offal with the other. Sweating profusely, he finally returned to Xiaohuang Village before lunch.

Before entering the village, Pei Xiaoyu, who was digging wild vegetables in the field, ran towards her from afar, "Sister-in-law."

Behind her were a group of children from the village.

Because of yesterday's broth meal, Pei Xiaoyu is very popular among the children, and by the way, Zhu Jiangjiang is also very popular among them.

As soon as she got closer, the children shouted at her happily: "Sister Zhu."

Zhu Jiangjiang also likes this group of skinny monkey children who can't even put on shoes and whose clothes are always a few sizes too big.

It just so happened that she got a handful of free candied haws today, so let's share them with them.

"Xiaoyu, call all the children in the village and let me treat you to candied haws, okay?"

Pei Xiaoyu didn't show her dissatisfaction at being robbed of her things, but was very happy, "Sister-in-law, let's go now."

After all, the children immediately dispersed and ran to find someone.

Zhu Jiangjiang hadn't finished speaking, so he could only shout at the back of them leaving: "By the way, you call the adults of the family to my house for dinner..."

Anyway, the pig's blood and offal were brought back, and I made them for everyone at noon while they were still fresh, and went to work in the field after eating.

If she did it at night and was so tired after work, she didn't want to serve so many people for dinner, and they would all eat at noon in the future.

Zhu Jiangjiang stuck the gourd handle in the crack of the stone in front of the door, and started preparing for lunch before Pei Xiaoyu came back.

The pig's blood has already solidified, so there is no need to deal with it, just cut a few times when it is put into the pot.

As for the water, it is still the same as yesterday, dry fry the large intestine, and make a pot of pork belly and wild vegetable soup.

While I was busy, people from the village came over one after another.

Mrs. Xu and Liu called two aunts to help Zhu Jiangjiang handle the water. They saw how Zhu Jiangjiang did it yesterday, and they started it directly today.

"Sister-in-law, everyone is here." Pei Xiaoyu called her blushing.

Seeing that Zhu Jiangjiang had something to do, Xu Liushi snatched the fine sand from her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have something to do, go, we will wash it for you."

"No, it's not a big deal..."

Zhu Jiangjiang wanted to refuse, but Xu Liu couldn't allow her to say more, and pushed her away after grabbing her work.

In this case, she will not be polite.

Zhu Jiangjiang got up and walked towards Tanghulu Bashi, which was already surrounded by children from the village.

They looked up at the red candied haws on the handles and kept swallowing.

"Sister Cuihua, have you eaten?"

Lu Cuihua is the older of the group of children. She is gentle and sensible, and the children in the village like to play with her.

"No." Lu Cuihua smiled and shook her head, looking at the candied haws with envy and a hint of ambiguity.

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't go into details, she just took two bunches of candied haws and handed them to Pei Xiaoyu, and then distributed a bunch to each of the children in the village.

As for her sister-in-law, of course she has to prefer some.

After all the children in the village under the age of ten have finished receiving the candied haws, there are still a few bunches left on the table.

Zhu Jiangjiang glanced at the crowd and found that Lu Cuihua's older children hadn't come to ask her for it.

"Cuihua, come and eat candied haws." She waved to Lu Cuihua and the others.

Obviously, those few people couldn't believe it when Zhu Jiangjiang asked them to eat candied haws, "We are all twelve or thirteen years old, do we have them too?"

They asked this question, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't help laughing, "Twelve or thirteen years old are still children, come here quickly!"

In her cognition, they are children.

But Zhu Jiangjiang seems to have forgotten that she seems to be only 15 years old now.

The more than 30 strings of candied haws on the ceremony were distributed, and there were seven hawthorns on a string of candied haws. The children ate it, and the adults in the family were lucky enough to taste one.

The whole village was in front of Pei's house, eating sweet candied haws and waiting for the broth in the pot.

Everyone has never thought that life can be so sweet and satisfying.

The dishes are ready, Zhu Jiangjiang divided the dishes for everyone, the pig blood is the base, the pork belly wild vegetable soup is covered, and a few pieces of dry fried large intestines are placed on top. This is the reward for everyone's help today.

The villagers took the vegetables back, and only the sisters-in-law of the Pei family were eating in front of the door.

After lunch, Zhu Jiangjiang squinted for a while before getting up and carrying a hoe to the field.

Everyone in the village didn't know when they went out. Anyway, by the time the Pei family's aunt and sister-in-law arrived, the people in the village who came to help had already started raking the ground.

The water in the field has been soaked for a few days, and the soil is soft, so it is much easier to rake it.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to grow the land over there? If you do, I'll ask everyone to help you."

As soon as Zhu Jiangjiang went to the field, Xu Laogen came over after a while, pointing to the field next to her and asking her.

"Grandpa Village Chief, whose land is that, why did you plant it for me?" She glanced at the land, but couldn't find any relevant memories in her mind.

When she asked this, Xu Laogen avoided his eyes, but he didn't explain much, he just asked her if she wanted to plant.

"I planted it, of course I planted it!"

There is more land to plant why doesn't she plant it?

"Well, we'll help you plow that piece of land too." Xu Laogen nodded in relief, patted her on the shoulder and turned to work again.

He still can't tell Zhu Jiangjiang that the land over there also belongs to Pei's family.

The Pei family once told him that there are some things that the new daughter-in-law of the Pei family has to wait for the incense to be passed on to the Pei family before he can tell her.

The original land of the Pei family, plus the land that the village chief said to plant for her, the two sides together accounted for almost half of the land in Xiaohuang Village.

Everyone in the village was busy with Zhu Jiangjiang, and it took seven or eight days to finish plowing.

During these seven or eight days, the seedlings planted on the first day have grown to palm height, and they can be transplanted in another seven or eight days.

During this period of busy work in the field, Zhu Jiangjiang got up early every day to go to the city to kill pigs, and then went to work in the field when he came back.

In half a month, she saved some money, and after planting the seedlings, she bought some new kitchen utensils and bowls, and then she was ready to set up a stall.

After the spring rains in early April, spring planting has officially begun.

Zhu Jiangjiang got up earlier, came back from the city early, put down his things and went out to farm.

Although she has to get up early every day, but fortunately she doesn't stay up late at night, her spirit is still very good, and she always hums when transplanting rice seedlings.

Her self-entertaining singing finally caught Pei Xiaoyu's attention in the quiet mountains and fields.

"Sister-in-law, what are you singing?" Pei Xiaoyu held a handful of small seedlings and was doing her best to help with farming.

"I'm singing a farming song, Xiaoyu, do you want to learn it?"

The spring breeze and warm sun are just right, Zhu Jiangjiang suddenly had a whim, and singing in the field can relieve fatigue, so I wanted to teach her.

"I want!"

"I wish sister, we want too!"

In the next field, the children of the village were pulled to work by adults. When they heard that Zhu Jiangjiang was going to teach Pei Xiaoyu how to sing, they all came to join in the fun.

"Okay, then let's sing together!" Zhu Jiangjiang went all out.

There are too few similar entertainments in the village, and she has to let them feel the joy and power that music brings to people.

"One drop of blood and sweat, one grain of rice, everyone works hard to cultivate, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, spend the winter together smiling..."

This song is very suitable for them now, and everyone's wish is the same. Every drop of blood and sweat and a grain of rice, all the hard work is to survive the winter.

The brisk and catchy melody, when Zhu Jiangjiang sang it for the third time, harmony came from around one after another.

Not only children, but even adults joined in singing, and the fields in Xiaohuang Village were filled with singing.

Everyone sang, laughed, shook their heads, and had a great time.
