Chapter 15 Farming is impossible
In the open space, there were two children on Qin Yao's side, holding her tightly.
The five people cuddled tightly together, looking worriedly at the small house in front of them with thatch flying in the strong wind, looking like it would collapse at any time.
Wait and wait, wait and wait.
The strong wind stopped.
That small house that looks very fragile is still standing tenaciously in front of you.
But looking at the thatch scattered on the ground, and the empty house with only the beams and a few pieces of thatch left, Qin Yao didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
The sky turned white, and the mess on the ground was clearly visible. Qin Yao rubbed her temples that were throbbing, and signaled the four brothers and sisters to stand still and not move around, and walked quickly towards the village.
This is not the point. The point is that she feels that her newly recuperated body is almost unable to bear the food.
Farming is a repetitive process that is boring and tedious.
With dozens of hoes in front of him, Qin Yao was digging vigorously. When he touched the rocks, sparks flew out.
Second Sister-in-law Qiu got up to relieve herself. She heard a knock on the door and came to open the door. She saw Qin Yao appearing in front of her with an expressionless face. It was still dark, but she was lucky enough not to be scared out of her wits.
Qin Yao shook her head and said it was okay. Second Sister-in-law Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran into the house to wake her man up.
They just finished planting all the land yesterday, and the men of the Liu family were thinking of taking a break and were still asleep at the moment.
Otherwise, why did she work so hard all afternoon to plant such a small patch?
Thinking of having to experience such extreme torture tomorrow, Qin Yao almost wanted to go back to the end of the world.
She would rather fight among the zombies and become nourishment for mutated animals and plants than farm again tomorrow!
After sowing seeds again and again, I bent down, stood up, and bent down again. After repeating it hundreds of times, my waist could no longer bear it.
Erlang stayed at home to look after the house and the twins.
When they saw the empty roof, they got busy without saying a word.
Second Sister-in-law Qiu pointed to the door and said, "Dad, the roof of the third child's house was blown off."
She didn't know whether it was because it was too dark or something else, but when she saw the new daughter-in-law of the third family, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Dalang couldn't help it anymore, so he lightly scratched the mosquito rash on his feet and looked at Qin Yao with sweat on his face, which made her have the illusion that he was abusing a child laborer.
In the end, he didn't say anything, put down the empty bowl, and led Liu Bai and others away.
Second Sister-in-law Qiu was startled, "Is the wind blowing?"
Qin Yao was so abused that she didn't even want to say anything. She waved to Dalang, and the mother and son returned home under the moonlight.
Even though they were all acquaintances in the same village, and their home was at the far end of the village, so they were unlikely to encounter Paihuazi, Qin Yao still did not dare to leave only the four-year-old twins at home.
Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so quickly.
However, from mid-afternoon to evening, only one-tenth of an acre of land was sown!
In just one morning, the roof was re-paved and reinforced by the father and son. Several heavy stones were placed on the four corners to prevent it from blowing away again in strong winds.
Qin Yao was not fully prepared when he came, so he could only put his coat on his head and hold his head tightly, exposing his two eyes.
The straw sandals on my feet were not easy to walk in the fields. After taking a few steps, the soles of my feet were stained with heavy mud, which restricted my movement speed.
The people in the village have a variety of skills, and repairing a roof is nothing to the four old men Liu and his son.
The house has been saved, but it will definitely cost a lot of money to re-roof it.
But the mother and son's exposed ankles and insteps were covered in mosquito bites. They were itchy and they dared not scratch, fearing that scratching the skin would make it even more uncomfortable. It was particularly torturous.
Even if the wasteland in the mountains has been hoeed, a few stones and tree roots will appear from time to time. They must be thrown out before sowing.
Turning around to look at Dalang, who was sitting on the ridge of the field with his face flushed from the sun, both mother and son saw despair in each other's eyes.
Qin Yao followed behind. Seeing the hurried appearance of the father and son, her heart, which had been hardened for a long time, melted.
With his face covered in clothes, he was hot and stuffy. Every time he moved a step, all kinds of discomforts came flooding back, making him extremely tormented.
Liu Fei picked up all the usable pieces of thatch that fell on the ground. Liu Bai and Liu Zhong saw that this was not enough, so they hurried to the river bank to cut grass.
But as he dug with the **** one by one, the **** in his hand became heavier and heavier. Even Qin Yao, who was very strong, began to feel swollen and sore in his arms.
Old man Liu was shocked, and after hearing that Qiu's second sister-in-law said that she was fine, he felt relieved, called his three sons, picked up the tools for repairing the roof, and rushed to Liu Ji's house.
Qin Yao only needs to dig a hole, sow the wheat seeds, and then bury them.
Qin Yao glanced at the excited Erlang: "You call this okay?"
Old man Liu drank the thick brown rice porridge from the bowl, and then looked at the mother and son squatting in front of the stove, chewing taro, but he hesitated to speak.
Qin Yao knocked on the door of the Liu family's old house.
Thinking of how Liu and his son would go out early and come home late, and take care of the family's more than 100 acres of land all year round, Qin Yao instantly stood in awe of the four father and son.
Old man Liu went home and carried a ladder, climbed up to the roof, took the pieces of thatch thrown up by Liu Fei, and spread them again.
But before leaving, she couldn't help but tell Qin Yao: "Hurry up and plant those two acres of land. I'm afraid it's going to rain in two days." Qin Yao should know this, and walked a few steps before returning and calling the big boss. Lang, pick up the hoe, pick up the can of wheat seeds, and walk towards the two acres of land on the other side of the mountain.
"The wind is very strong." Qin Yao said with certainty.
Qin Yao felt that she had the land cultivation manual she got from Zhang yesterday. She was just planting a piece of land. How much trouble could it be?
Looking at the only forty copper coins left in her pocket, Qin Yao felt that the sky was going to kill her!
The four little guys were not aware of her inner sadness. Seeing that the house had not collapsed, they shouted in surprise: "Auntie, the house is fine!"
Qin Yao said: "Second sister-in-law, there was a strong wind at night, and the roof of my house was blown off."
I thought that with all my hard work, I would have sown more than half of my seeds, but I didn't expect that I only had a small part.
Second Sister-in-law Qiu was also stunned for a moment, but now she realized what she was doing, her expression changed, and she asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Liu Ji's two acres of land have been dug up by the original owner.
Qin Yao insisted on coming even though she was here, so she persisted until the sun went down.
Erlang was so angry that he was shocked and covered his mouth in fear.
The movement in the courtyard alarmed Old Man Liu and Mrs. Zhang, and they started to put on their clothes.
Qin Yao was grateful and made porridge from all the brown rice she bought home yesterday. She left the father and son at home for lunch before leaving.
"Is there something wrong?" Sister-in-law Qiu asked carefully, barely calming down.
The weather is cold in the morning and evening and hot in the day. Liu Ji's land is quite remote. His family's two acres of land are the only ones in the entire mountain valley. There are so many bugs that they buzz around your head.
Qin Yao looked at the large unseeded open space in front of her in disbelief, suspecting that she was dazzled.
The sun was about to set, and unknown birds chirped from the mountains. Dalang stood up and looked at Qin Yao with some fear, "Auntie, it's getting dark."
In front of the stove, Qin Yao gnawed the taro roasted by Erlang Sanlang and thought in her heart that she had to go into the mountains.
It is impossible to farm, and I don't want to farm again in this life!
Is anyone reading a book? I ask for recommendation votes every day, hehehe~
