Chapter 288 Full of Harvests
Chapter 288 Full of Harvests
The two little sisters in the supply and marketing cooperative also have 10 each.
The 10 that Uncle Liu had.
The 10 pills that Jiang Maocai had.
Aunt Cui’s 10 pills.
Huainan sighed that there were still not enough fruits on the trees.
Gu Lixia instructed Jiang Wen to cut down all the branches of the pear and apple trees that were less than 5 meters tall.
After waking up from a nap, Sun Tieniu saw how Jiang Wen cut the trees and thought that he didn't know how to prune them. He even advised Jiang Wen to just let the trees grow freely.
Gu Lixia explained that there were no fruits left, so let the tree grow well.
Sun Tieniu shook his head.
Gu Lixia doesn't care what others think.
Starting from this day on, every week, water the pear tree, apple tree, and grape tree with a bowl of merit spring water.
On Sunday, I made tomato sauce and tomato and eggplant sauce, and made enough for 300 bottles of each.
After August, I received my salary and banknotes on September 1st, and Li Gang still owed me 50.
The children also started school, and Jiang Xiu was in the second grade of junior high school.
Huainan is in the fourth grade of primary school.
Huaibei is in the second grade of primary school.
Gu Lixia wished she could send Huaixi to school as well.
The problem is that the child is too young and the school won’t accept him.
No. 2 received the food.
The Ghost Festival arrives on the 4th. According to legend, on this day the underworld will release all ghosts, allowing them to return to the world of the living to reunite with their loved ones. Therefore, people generally perform activities to worship ghosts on this day, such as visiting graves, burning incense, and burning paper.
Jiang Wen took the things and went back with Huainan early in the morning.
Come back from work in an hour.
Gu Lixia plans to take over this class after Jiang Xiu graduates next year.
So, after my period, I discussed having a baby with Jiang Wen.
Cook a small meal in your space in the morning, noon and evening to nourish your body.
At the end of the month, I played the game twice every other day. Unfortunately, my period came as scheduled in October.
On October 1st, National Day, we went to work as usual, and wages and bills were paid on time, and Li Gang's 50 also arrived on time.
李刚的欠款从去年的750,今年三月到10月这8个月的400,还欠350。
Li Gang is no longer under so much pressure.
Gu Lixia didn't ask about other people's family affairs, as long as the money arrived on time.
Soon, on the 3rd, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
Get up early in the morning.
Gu Lixia asked Jiang Xiu to pick the dates first and give the 3-jin basket to her parents' home.
Half of the basket was given to the Xu family.
The couple went out for a bike ride and came back with 7 chickens.
2 chickens stewed with mushrooms.
One for my mother's family.
The remaining four were sent to Xu Jiang's home.
Jiang Wen and Huainan went to Xu's house. Xu Jiang welcomed them very much. However, when they mentioned the tea, Jiang Wen said that it might be available in the New Year's goods.
Xu Jiang was not angry, he just said that he had to leave one kilogram for him, Jiang Wen also agreed, and gave two bottles of wine to Jiang Wen, and then Jiang Wen and Huainan came out.
Come back home.
Gu Lixia carried a large basket and rode on the back of a bicycle to the Gu family's old courtyard.
I saw the whole family playing with the children, but I didn’t see my younger brother’s wife Bai Cailan.
Gu Lixia took out something directly, "Mom, this is the chicken I killed this morning, and there are three pounds of red dates. Eat more to replenish your complexion."
They were originally just entertaining the children, but when Gu Lixia spoke, they all looked at the chicken. Liu Xiaocao was the most excited. "Is this a rooster or a hen? It must weigh three pounds. Perfect. You have good cooking skills, so go and make it. Don't waste the meat."
"I'm pregnant and I can't stand the smell of the kitchen. You guys cook it. If there's a bite for us, we'll eat it. If not, we'll go home and lie down." Gu Lixia spoke without hesitation.
"Which woman doesn't work when she's pregnant? You're special. You'll be fine if you just smell more." Liu Xiaocao rolled her eyes.
Gu Lixia didn't give in. "I'm the guest today, and I brought gifts with me. Since you and your mother-in-law don't want to entertain me, then we'll leave. Where can I go with this gift? If they don't treat me well, my aunt's house is next door."
"Your sister-in-law is cooking right now. You're a starving ghost." Liu Xiaocao picked up the things and walked away cursing.
Soon, someone scolded Bai Cailan, "Why did you cut such big pieces? Are you planning to eat them in a few bites and then just stare at me? I don't know what my mother taught me. Why didn't I open my eyes and see the true face of my daughter-in-law..."
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen remained silent.
When the meal was served, half of the chicken should have been kept and stewed with potatoes.
The pork is refined into oil and the oil residue is used to stir-fry red beans.
A scrambled egg.
Stir-fry the green peppers.
Gu Lixia looked at the unwashed bowl and said it smelled bad, so she didn't eat it.
Jiang Wen, on the other hand, ate some.
After dinner, Bai Cailan was still the one who washed the dishes.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen rode away on their bikes.
Liu Xiaocao began to ask Bai Cailan how long it had been since her brothers and sisters got married and had children.
Bai Cailan knew what Liu Xiaocao meant, and to be honest, there was no time to waste.
Let’s talk about it when you get pregnant.
What's more, Bai Cailan even suspected that her sister-in-law might not be pregnant yet.
Bai Cailan's sister-in-law is pregnant and can't stand any smell. She retches all day long and tears up every time.
.........
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen came back and ate the meal made by Huainan again.
Lettuce, baby cabbage, cucumbers, green peppers and hot peppers have all been taken off the shelves. Jiang Xiu also planted cabbage and carrots.
It has grown about 10cm.
Tomatoes and eggplants are almost done with their season.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen took the children to pull out all the seedlings near the jujube tree, including sweet potato and potato seedlings.
Jiang Wen climbed up the tree with a ladder, cut off the branches below 5 meters, and then used a long wooden stick to knock down the dates.
When they reached the branches on the Wu family's side, all the ones at the bottom had been picked, and Jiang Wen tried his best to hit them in the direction of his own yard.
The children directed the pluck of jujubes from a date tree, leaving the ground covered in red.
Gu Lixia estimated that she weighed between 150 and 180 kilograms when she was dressed.
Pick it up, wash it directly, and steam it.
Then they picked them out one by one, and Gu Lixia directed Jiang Wen to drink two jars of drunken dates, about 48 kilograms.
The grown ones were put into canning jars, and there were 16 jars in total.
The remaining ones can be dried and used for cooking, soaking in water or making soup.
Huainan took a 3-jin basket and shared it with his friends.
I gave 10 kilograms to Aunt Cui.
The 3 kilograms from Sun Tieniu.
This is considered a good harvest.
Jiang Wen continued to chop the branches below the jujube tree until he reached a height of 5 and a half meters.
Huainan made braised noodles at noon.
After dinner, continue harvesting.
Break corn, dig sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The main workers are Jiang Wen and his sister.
Others picked potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Corn cobs on the windowsill.
The pole was cut down and stood against the wall.
All the mung beans were picked and put in the pot.
All the seedlings are pulled up, spread out flat, and placed in the woodshed after drying.
We picked a total of 64 pumpkins.
I minced about 12 pounds of garlic.
There are about 30 kilograms of green onions.
There are about 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
There are also about 200 kilograms of potatoes.
Rub the corn slowly at the back.
Jiang Xiu said there were almost 50 kilograms of mung beans.
The happiest person was Jiang Xiu. She put all the things on the floor of the empty house and let them dry for a few days before storing them in the cellar.
Take the steamed dates out of the pot, let them cool, then put them in a winnowing basket and place them outside on the windowsill to dry.
