There is a little mule at home, but the two babies of Jiakang Jiayuan are very happy, and they look back and forth around the little mule.

"Mom, is this a horse?" The little baby couldn't tell the difference between a horse and a mule, thinking it was a horse.

Qiao Lian shook her head, "No, this is a mule, it should be a horse mule, it is better than horse endurance, smart and capable, and understands human nature."

It's just a big temper, you two stay away from its hind legs, if this guy comes up with a temper, it's easy to kick you. ”

The mule's personality is a little impatient, and it is good when he doesn't play with his temper, and he works hard and complains, and when he plays with his temper, he has a bit of a donkey's meaning.

The little mule just came to the house, and he couldn't figure out his temper, Qiaolian didn't dare to let the two children play behind the little mule, what if this beast kicked the child?

"In the future, you should be careful, stay away from it and watch it, it's best not to get too close, wait for it to get familiar, and then get fodder to feed it."

Qiao Lian looked at it, this little mule's temper was okay, but she didn't dare to be careless, so it was better to be careful.

"Now that our family has raised mules, Ah Huang and Ah Ash, and we are getting more and more like a life, you two have to help your mother work more in the future, otherwise your mother will not be able to do it alone."

Qiaolian is very capable, and this little work outside the house is actually difficult for her, but she is pregnant after all.

It's okay at the moment, the body is light and doesn't delay anything, waiting for the late pregnancy to be bulky, and some jobs have to call the children for help.

So you have to exercise and train from the beginning, no way, who makes the family without male labor?

Although Qiaolian loves the child, she doesn't want to develop the child into a lazy personality, the child is small, and she does her best to do things.

Qiaolian will not let them do too tiring and dangerous work, but what should be done must be done.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Jiakang Jiayuan and Jiayuan have been sensible since they were young and know that they are considerate of their mothers, so they don't think it's a bad thing for their mothers to let them work, but they are very happy.

"Okay, if Mom has something to do, just tell us, we'll definitely help." The two babies happily agreed.

After the second trip, the work in the field can be temporarily over, but it is idle to remove and weed.

When the crops in the field grow and the buds grow above the waist, there is no need to weed.

Because the crops grow tall and seal the ground, the grass under the bottom cannot grow, so there is no way to compete with the crops for sunlight and nutrients, and it is difficult to become a climate.

Of course, the average farmer will also go to the field from time to time to weed to reduce the chance of weeds seeding and propagation, and you can save a lot of worry in the future.

The crickets were not so easy to catch, so Qiaolian no longer pointed at the crickets to earn points, and only occasionally led the children, tied the dead fish to the branches, and sat on the big rock to catch the crickets.

The crickets are all big, so it's a good idea to keep them for the children.

There is no work in the field for the time being, and the wild vegetables on the mountain are basically outdated, but Qiaolian still has a way to exchange points.

For example, mother-in-law Ding root, this mother-in-law Ding is also called Huanghua Diding, which is a medicinal herb that has a good effect on fire, inflammation and detoxification.

Mother-in-law Ding root planing back to wash and dry the slices, and then fry the yellow with a slight heat, keep it for soaking in water, and later people called dandelion tea.

This can also be sold to the system, seventy or eighty points per catty, of course, it is more troublesome.

It takes four catties of fresh mother-in-law Ding root to produce one pound of dry products, and it has to be cut and dried and then fried with fire.

No matter how troublesome it is, you can exchange points for it, mosquito legs are also meat, and you can play with it when you have nothing to do, accumulate it and sell it to the system, at least you can exchange it for daily food and drink.

In addition to dandelion tea, you can also make clove tea, eleuthero tea.

In the mountains of Changbai Mountain, there is a plant called Storm Horse, the scientific name is Storm Martin Incense, the whole plant can be used as medicine, and the young leaves and flowers can be made into tea, which has the effect of nourishing the stomach.

The young leaves of eleuthero can also be used as tea, which is useful for treating symptoms such as neurasthenia, which are all specialties of Changbai Mountain, and can be sold to the system in exchange for points.

These are also seasonal, and the process is complicated, Qiaolian just thinks about it and does it, and if she can't think of it, forget it.

Even if it is made, it may not be sold, and the porcelain jar is stored some, and the guests at home take it out to make a cup of tea, which is much better than boiled water.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth month of the lunar calendar has passed, and the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived.

In the past, there were a lot of things to do during the Dragon Boat Festival, wrapping zongzi and inserting mugwort to drink realgar wine, but now in these years, many rules have been changed, and basically there is only the same thing left to eat zongzi.

During the festival, even if the family is poor, you have to wrap a few zongzi to eat.

Wealthy people will buy zongzi leaves, glutinous rice, and red dates, and wrap up the four-cornered zongzi with sharp edges and uprightness.

People who don't have money also have a way to go to the mountains to pick oak leaves, use their own rhubarb rice, and don't use red dates, just cook some small beans or big white beans, wrap them up and cook them, and they are happy to eat the same.

Qiaolian was too lazy to go to the mountains to pick the leaves of the oak tree, so she simply changed two bundles of dumpling leaves from the system, and then bought five catties of glutinous rice and two bags of dates.

On the fourth day of the new year, I soaked rice and wrapped zongzi in the afternoon, boiled and simmered in the pot at night, got up early the next day, picked out zongzi and eggs, and ate a few with the children.

Jiakang Jiayuan has never eaten such sweet and sticky zongzi, even if she likes this taste, one person eats two zongzi, and the eggs don't want to eat.

Qiaolian didn't care, the zongzi she wrapped were small, and the two zongzi couldn't be eaten, so it was okay. The two children ate well, and she didn't have to bother.

After breakfast, Qiao Lian picked up two zongzi, one for the Zhang family, more than a dozen, there are many Zhang family, at least one person is enough.

The other picked up six, plus four eggs, which were for the old lady of the Chen family.

No matter what she says, she is also her mother, but it's not good to take a look at the festival, she just cares about her mother's eating and drinking, and the rest of the people don't care, and she can't afford it.

So she only brought six zongzi, and the old lady was willing to keep them for herself, or give them to her grandson, so it had nothing to do with Qiaolian.

The two zongzi were wrapped in kraft paper, and then put them in the basket, and then put a fish, Qiaolian carried the basket and led the two babies out of the house.

Although the family has a mule, they haven't found a carpenter to make a trailer, and the little mule has not yet grown up, the cart can't be pulled, and the cart can't be used in the future, so Qiaolian didn't bother to think about it.

Let's wait for a few months, just find a carpenter to hang a suitable car, it will cost money, and you need to plan carefully.

Now that the atmosphere is good, there are few petty thefts, and Qiaolian is not afraid of losing things at home.

I tied the mules to the yard, prepared enough forage, and prepared food for the two dogs, so that the family did not have to bother, and they came back in the afternoon, and they would be fine.

Walking back to the camp from Shizuizi, especially with the two children, Qiaolian didn't dare to walk too fast, so it took more than an hour.

I finally came to Zhang's house, and before I entered the door, I found that Zhang's house was very lively, and there was constant laughter in the house, and my sister Qiaojuan's laughter could be heard outside the gate.

"Sister, what's the joy at home? Look at you happy, I can hear you from afar. Qiao Lian led the child into the courtyard, and asked with a smile as she walked.
