Chapter 19 Digging Traps

"Even if there are people, how many people will there be if the backyard is so big," Zhou Yougen said, shaking his head.

With this many people, not counting wages, they also have a lot of food, which their family cannot afford.

The three brothers of the Zhou family looked at each other in shock and broke into a cold sweat.

You know, they all have children at home.

It's good luck that we haven't been rushed in by wild boars before.

What if...

They dare not even think about it.

"Father, mother, after two days, the work in the fields will become lighter, let's build a mud wall!" Zhou Qing suggested.

"The land has been plowed, but we still have to plant. It's not an easy job. Besides, with just the three of you, how long will it last?" Zhou Yougen shook his head, feeling that that was not a good idea.

Xi Yao, who had been listening, walked out and said: "We don't have time to build a mud wall, but we can dig traps."

Add Zhou Yougen and four laborers, and it's ready.

"Trap?" Everyone looked at her.

"Yes, the trap is placed inside the fence," she explained carefully: "If it's outside, people will inevitably pass by. If innocent people are hurt, that would be bad, but inside the fence, no one should come in,"

That place is close to the back mountain. Anyone who wants to steal food will not risk his life.

When the Zhou family heard this, they thought this was a good idea.

"When we've really dug it, we'll tell the kids at home to prevent them from falling in," Ms. Chen said worriedly.

"Then don't let them go to the backyard," Zhou Qing said decisively: "I'll build a lock here and make it higher so they can't hook it!"

"That's what I have to say. Children are curious. The more adults don't let them go, the more curious they become. Or when digging traps, take them to see it and let them know that it is dangerous here. It is for catching wild boars. They are scared.

, it will be avoided automatically!" Xi Yao suggested.

Hiding it is not an option.

Besides, Zhou Qing's eldest son is six years old and should know a lot.

Spring plowing is important, and this trap is also important. The Zhou family decided to start right after dinner to avoid being unable to see when it gets dark later.

"Why hasn't the Fourth Brother come back yet?" Because they had to dig a trap later, everyone didn't think about cleaning it up, but found that Zhou Rong hadn't come back yet.

"I left food for fourth brother," Zhou Yi said.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm hungry," Da Tou couldn't help smelling the fragrance.

"I'm hungry too,"

When one child opens his mouth, the others can't help it.

There was nothing to eat, and everyone didn’t even know what picky food was, so when they saw the egg drop in the mushroom soup and the meat in the spring bamboo shoots, everyone couldn’t wait.

After a busy afternoon, everyone was hungry. When they heard that food had been left for Zhou Rong, they decided not to wait.

"It smells so good." When everyone tasted it, they were amazed and felt that the taste really left a fragrance on their lips and teeth.

"Yao'er, your skills have really improved!" Zhou Yougen couldn't help but praise as his mouth became oily after eating.

Zhou Yi felt embarrassed, "My fourth sister-in-law made that, so I helped light the fire!"

The Zhou family was extremely surprised. They didn't expect Xi Yao to have such a skill.

Mrs. Chen suddenly felt that the fourth child in her family was very lucky to have such a wife.

He is literate and capable, and his food is delicious, but it is difficult to find him even with a lantern.

There is no other one in this whole village.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you later," Xi Yao said with a smile.

"It's true!" Zhou Yi couldn't be happier.

With this skill, you will be looked upon highly by your husband's family in the future.

"Can I still lie to you!"

This time, the three sisters-in-law of the Zhou family couldn't help but look at each other when they saw how kind Xi Yao was to Zhou Yi. As for what they were thinking, only they themselves knew.
