Chapter 400 Visiting Old Man Qi
After Mi Xiao woke up after taking a nap, the Yan family's labor force had already gone to work.
May is the season for harvesting soybeans, and the team should take all the soybeans into the warehouse before it rains.
Once it rains, the ground is muddy and it will delay harvesting time. The pods crack and soybeans will fall into the ground and sprout. The income this year will be reduced.
After harvesting soybeans, you must plant sesame seeds. The dry land in the south is not empty all year round. Soybeans are planted in early March, sesame seeds are harvested in May, and canola wheat is harvested in September, and canola is harvested in February of the following year.
Paddy fields also have three seasons in three years. Spring rice and autumn rice are harvested. After harvesting autumn rice, you can also plant rapeseed or flowers and plants to feed cattle.
Therefore, rural people in the south are much more tired than those in the cold and cold Northeastern people.
A crop of grain is planted in the northeast, and it is planted in May and harvested in October. Then a crop of cabbage is planted. After harvesting the cabbage, the weather becomes colder and the people stay on the kang to spend the winter.
The winter in the northeast is very long, and it will take more than five months.
In her previous life, she went to the countryside in the northeast and spent two months in spring planting and autumn harvesting. The rest of the time, she either had winter or did some scattered farm work.
In the south, I am busy all year round, and only during the New Year and the Festival will I have a few days off.
Mi Xiaoxiao loves the house and Wu. She also cares about Yan Junwei's relatives and feels sorry for the hard work of Yan Congrong and Li Xinghua and his elders. So after the Dragon Boat Festival, she will send pheasants and hares to help them improve their food every half month.
Anyway, she has many pheasants and hares, and she can hunt dozens of them just by going to the mountain once.
"Xiaoxiao, there is nothing good in the countryside, so don't dislike it. This is the peanuts assigned to the team last year. There are still three pounds left. Take them back and fry them for your mother to eat."
When Mi Xiaoxiao left, Grandma Yan rummaged through the cabinets and found a small bag of peanuts with shells and asked her to take them back for food.
I made another ten saltwater rice dumplings and got a basket of green and red earthy peaches.
This is Grandma Yan's intention, and Mi Xiaoxiao accepted it all.
"Grandma Yan, then I'll leave. I'll see you again in a few days."
"Let's go, ride slowly on the road, and take good care of your mother when you go back. You don't have to worry about my old bones. I'm fine with your uncle and aunt taking care of you."
Grandma Yan sent her to the entrance of the village, one old and one young, saying goodbye under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
After Mi Xiaoxiao returned home, she took out the return gift given by the Yan family and found that there was a can of food under the basket.
She was so amused and crying, "I gave it to Grandma Yan and she brought it back."
"Then you will give her a bottle of wheat milk essence next time and drink it." Wei Hongjuan said.
Wei Hongjuan took out five of the ten saltwater rice dumplings sent by the Yan family, and the remaining five were left in the basket. He put the rice dumplings he had made, salted duck eggs, fresh eggs, a braised pheasant, and two cans of braised hares.
I went to the backyard again and picked half a basket of vegetables.
"These are prepared for your grandfather. You will deliver them when it gets dark tonight." She reminded her daughter.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Mi Xiaoxiao arrived at Qi's house. Old man Qi and Qi Hao were still having dinner. Each one had a bowl of rice. There were a bowl of water spinach, a plate of dried radish, and a plate of fried eggs on the table.
Mi Xiaoxiao smiled and took out the canned bottle and braised pheasant from the basket, "Grandpa, my mother asked me to add food to you."
"Oh, it's still my niece and niece-in-law who think about me, knowing that the old man wants to eat meat."
Old man Qi took the braised chicken and couldn't wait to tear off one of the chicken legs and chewed it, "Well, it tastes delicious, fragrant and rotten. This is my niece-in-law's craft."
