Chapter 132: The Cricket

"That's enough, Wei Yang came back this time with a stipend of a few hundred yuan, and the bear bile was sold for some money in the county.

The family now has no other expenses besides the cost of eating and drinking.

Buying a livestock, usually let Jiakang take it out to eat grass and raise, and harvest the land in the autumn, it can also give me a lot of effort, which is cost-effective. "Qiaolian is a good hand, and these things have been planned for a long time.

"Okay, as long as you have plenty of money in your hands, don't worry about food or anything, if you don't have enough to eat, just ask, I'll send you some more from home."

It's also fast, it's April 20 in the lunar calendar, and there are still four months to autumn, waiting for the autumn grain to be harvested, then you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Qiaojuan listened to her sister's plan well, and nodded again and again, her sister really doesn't have to worry about it, everything can be arranged properly.

The sisters chatted for a while, and it happened that Zhang Wenguang also came in from outside.

"Daughter-in-law, I took a look, our second sister's land, and I can go to the land twice in seven or eight days. I arranged it in advance, and I must not delay the harvest of my second sister's family. ”

After the crops in the field have emerged, they need to weed and shovel the ground, and after shoveling the ground, they need to go through the plowhead again with a plough stick to cultivate the soil in the ditch.

It is convenient to have a plow stick at home, and the plow stick can be used to go through it, and if you don't have a plow stick, you have to use a pickaxe to cultivate the ridge little by little, which is very tiring.

In the past, in Shijiagou, Qiaolian worked in the field with a pickaxe, but now that Zhang Wenguang is here, Qiaolian can save some effort.

"Brother-in-law, I have to trouble you again, I'm really fortunate that my eldest sister and brother-in-law are here, and I have followed a lot of light." Qiaolian felt a little uneasy, Zhang Wenguang and his family helped her too much.

Zhang Wenguang scratched his head when he heard this, and looked embarrassed, "Look at it, let you say this."

You and the child's mother are sisters, why do you have to say these extraneous words?

Besides, Wei Yang is a soldier, you are a military wife, even if our two families are not related, we have to help us. ”

"That is, what are you doing so politely in your family?

We're going to do some work for you, aren't you giving us something less? Do I have to thank you too? Qiao Juan glared at Qiao Lian, and then laughed again.

"Okay, it's not early, let's just come to see how you are, since you have nothing to do, then we'll go back, the head of the family doesn't know what to do?

It's free, let Jiakang Jiayuan also go over to play, Fenglin is thinking about them.

If you have nothing to do, go back and walk around, otherwise you will be bored here all day long, and you will not be familiar with the people in the township. As she spoke, Qiaojuan stood up and asked Zhang Wenguang to leave.

"Sister, stay and eat at noon, don't go." Qiao Lian hurriedly got up and wanted to leave Zhang Wenguang and his wife after lunch.

Qiaojuan waved her hand, "No need, you, don't work on the ground, just lie down for a while."

There is still a lot of work at home, and it is not good to always let Fenglin Fenghua eat and drink at the second child's house.

The two leather boys climbed the house one day, and they didn't feel at ease if they didn't look at it for a while. Let's go, don't come out to send it, take care of it, and remember to send a letter to the camp if you have something. ”

Qiaojuan has a fiery temperament, and she has already gone out when she speaks, and Qiaolian has the heart to go out to send it away, but she is afraid that she will be dizzy when she gets up.

When she walked out of the door slowly, Qiaojuan had already got into the carriage, and Zhang Wenguang drove the carriage away.

Qiao Lian leaned on the door frame, watched the carriage leave, and couldn't help sighing, fortunately, there is a sister who knows cold and hot here, an honest and reliable brother-in-law, otherwise it would be difficult for her to live this day.

I don't know, did Qu Weiyang already set off at this time? Did he obediently carry all the things he brought him?

I hope he doesn't go to a neighboring country, otherwise, it's really scary.

Qiao Lian looked down at her flat lower abdomen, and let out another long sigh, this is her and Qu Weiyang's child, no matter how difficult it is, she will be born safely.

It seems that the life of the family is about to improve, she was not pregnant before, and she eats coarse grains and wild vegetables every day.

But now that she has another one in her belly, she can't be so foolish, she has to add some nutritional supplements, otherwise she is afraid of delaying the child's development.

Also, it is time for her to slowly prepare the things she will need to give birth, and start preparing as soon as possible while she is light and the weather is good.

It is inconvenient to save the body in winter, and it is easy to have a second child, but don't be caught off guard when you are not fully prepared.

Well, wait another three or four days, wait and see, if you don't come back to the body, it will be pregnant, and everything that should be prepared must be prepared.

"Mom, what do you think we're catching and coming back?"

Qiaolian was thinking about it, Jiakang Jiayuan ran back from a distance, and the two babies looked excited, and sent the small wooden barrel they were carrying to Qiaolian as if offering treasure.

When Qu Weiyang was at home, he taught Jiakang how to catch fish with a fish basket, this little guy is smart and clever, and he learns very quickly, after Qu Weiyang left, Jiakang did not forget to go to the river every day to bait and catch fish.

Of course, Jiakang was still young and did not dare to go to places where the water was deep, and only made baskets in a few shallow water places, catching few fish.

Qu Weiyang specially made a small wooden barrel for them, and they can get half a bucket back a day, and they can also dry a small handful of dried fish after squeezing it, and it is also good to accumulate a lot and keep it for a vegetable in winter.

Qiaolian sometimes followed the two children to the river, but she didn't go with her because she didn't feel well in the morning for the past two days.

At this time, seeing the two babies so happy, they were also curious, and looked into the barrel, "What? Are you two so happy? ”

"It's crickets, Mom, there are crickets here, and there are a lot of them, especially in shallow water.

You see, we've caught a lot, and they're all big ones, Mom, cook the crickets at noon and eat them, I'm hungry for this. Jiakang shouted happily.

Qiao Lian also understood at this time, the blue-brown in the barrel was crawling and spitting bubbles, but what about the crickets?

"Yo, why didn't we pay attention before? I didn't expect there to be crickets here, okay, mom boiled water for you to cook crickets to eat. ”

The cricket is unique to the Northeast, growing in rivers with clear water quality, and Qiaolian was often seen in the forest farm when she was a child in her previous life.

It's a pity that the environmental pollution later, plus the legend that this thing has lung flukes, the most important thing is that this thing is more powerful, at that time to build the power station dam, I put medicine in the water, and it was poisoned.

Only some streams in the deep mountains and old forests can still be seen, and later they were cultivated in captivity, and the price is very expensive.

This season is the time when the crickets bite the flood, and it is estimated that because of this, there will be so many crickets in shallow water.

Qiao Lian was also a little greedy when she thought of the deliciousness of the crickets, "In the afternoon, let's go catch the crickets together, if you catch too much, my mother will make you cricket tofu." ”

Well, I haven't eaten cricket tofu for many years, and I really miss that delicious taste.
