Chapter 252 Spring Planting in April
Gu Lixia felt that it was not the right time yet.
On the 8th, my period came again.
He passed away 5 days later.
On the 18th, I went back to ask Uncle Zhao to buy firewood, and asked Uncle Zhao to make 30 long wooden strips that were 2 meters long and 10 centimeters wide and high.
Gu Lixia went to dig bitter vegetables.
After finishing, Gu Lixia took the basket of eggs and arrived at the yard. It was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Huainan went to shovel cow dung.
Jiang Xiu hurriedly went to cook rice and stew vegetables.
Gu Lixia mixed the bitter vegetables herself.
Jiang Wen and Uncle Zhao unloaded firewood.
Invite Uncle Zhao to have dinner and pay the bill.
After Uncle Zhao left, he moved the wooden strips to the main room, lit them red hot, and burned holes in them.
Except for the pole at the bottom, all the other parts have holes on the sides and in the middle.
Then, let Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan dig a hole and bury the wooden strips together.
Gu Lixia supported him.
Jiang Wen twisted the wire with pliers.
Soon, a 2.5-meter-high grape trellis was erected.
People in Huaibei and Huaixi are happily raising geese, and a lot of alfalfa is growing.
It’s not just Jiang Wen’s family that goes to Hewanwan.
Where there is wind, there is hope and seeds sprout.
The seedlings are full of vitality.
Wash up.
go to bed.
Early in the morning on the 19th, Gu Lixia made soy milk and then went to the yard to dig out the seedlings.
Each one is about 30cm tall.
Gu Lixia, who uses tender baby cabbage, has already cooked a dish.
Dig them all out with a small shovel.
Shake the soil.
Call Jiang Wen to get up.
Drink soy milk.
Carry the basket to make room.
Lettuce, green pepper, hot pepper, romaine lettuce, cucumber, eggplant, and tomato are all planted along the aisle with 15 seedlings.
3 zucchini seedlings.
Pumpkin, red bean, edamame, along the wall, 20 seedlings of various kinds.
I picked 100 sweet potato seedlings.
Finished planting.
Jiang Wen came back with water and scooped a little water on each seedling.
Gu Lixia called Aunt Cui to come and select the remaining seedlings.
Aunt Cui saw Jiang Wen watering the crops and knew that they had been planted that morning.
There were two of them and they ate little vegetables, so they only chose 6 vegetable seedlings each.
Hongdou and Pumpkin were both leaving, and when Gu Lixia said that, Pumpkin was also leaving.
The rest was given to Sun Tieniu next door.
Gu Lixia then planted 20 corn seedlings in the place where red beans were planted.
Then he went back to the house and lay down.
Jiang Wen went to cook.
Gu Lixia specifically asked for fried eggs.
After Jiang Wen finished cooking, Gu Lixia came over quickly.
It's already the season to wear just a thin sweater.
When you come back at noon, you can even take off your sweater and change into light clothes.
For example, Jiang Wen.
During work and after get off work, I received replies from various places one after another.
Some of them were returned by Jiang Wu’s comrades themselves, and some were replaced by their families.
The comrade himself replied and did not explicitly refuse any contact for the time being.
Guo Zili from Yucheng is grateful for the previous help.
Qin Wenlong from Shacheng said that they took care of each other. It was Jiang Wu who carried him back from the pile of dead bodies. He will remember this kindness for the rest of his life. What's more, it's just a matter of brothers and relatives sending each other holiday gifts.
The one from Wencheng was rejected by his family.
The hostess wrote in the letter that she already had five older children at home.
Another one is about to be born.
It is not suitable to communicate with comrades from all over the world.
Xiao Dajun from Qincheng wrote in a letter that he was lame in the legs, not in the heart. Moreover, the organization had assigned him a job, so he didn't need this little money.
Yun Dahai from Lucheng even wrote that if he had the chance to come here on business in the future, he would definitely visit the three Jiang Huainan brothers and the other members of the Jiang family.
Ji Xiaojun from Yucheng also wrote that it was just the postage and it didn't cost much, so he shouldn't take it to heart. His family supported him, his parents had a pension and didn't need him to worry too much, he and his wife both worked, and his children were still young.
Gu Lixia knew before that the hostess Ji Mudan was generous. She bought a piece of summer cloth that was 2 meters long and 2 meters wide. What a concept! This was not the summer cloth that was the same as the mosquito net that she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative before.
Instead, it is thin, soft, cool and breathable, easy to wash and dry, becomes whiter the more you wash it, is durable, softer than silk, keeps you warm and refreshes you, and is therefore known as the best material for summer clothing.
There are many varieties of summer cloth, which are divided into four types according to color: natural color, bleached, dyed, and printed.
Wings woven with warp and weft threads can be divided into plain cloth and ribbed cloth.
Depending on the thickness of the linen thread, it can be divided into coarse cloth, medium cloth and fine cloth. Coarse cloth can be used to make pockets, lining cloth, and curtains, while medium cloth and fine cloth are suitable for making clothing.
The thing Ji Mudan sent was fine cloth, and she also wrote in the letter that it was for the children to make summer clothes.
Gu Lixia had a plan.
Neither Shancheng nor Mocheng replied.
On the 25th, one potato was cut into 4 pieces and 90 seedlings were planted.
The land on the left has been planted.
120 corn seedlings were planted near Sun’s house.
The rest were planted into 120 mung bean seedlings.
Green onions and leeks are planted under the grape trellis.
And garlic.
The Jiang family's yard has been planted.
Gu Lixia continued to take out unused wooden basins, transplanted mint, and placed them on the windowsill.
Ask your sister-in-law to get some summer cloth to make clothes.
Abandoning the traditional small stand-up collar, Huaixi directly made a round collar. There are also two buttons on the left shoulder, in the style of a pullover sweater.
Barely enough for each of the three children.
The shorts below have been modified to have a cuffed cuff.
Of course, the smallest one in Jiang Huaixi is still an open-crotch pants.
Still young.
Three identical sets of clothes were prepared for Jiang Xiuzhe: summer cotton and linen suits, short-sleeved T-shirts and wide-leg pants, and new Chinese-style two-piece suits for middle-aged and elderly women.
I also prepared 3 pairs of shorts, solid color cotton wide-leg shorts for women, summer casual pants for women, cotton and linen loose pants for women, thin and trendy.
Of course, I have more of my own.
Jiang Wen's is a summer suit of linen short-sleeved shirts, cotton and linen trousers, and shorts for middle-aged and elderly men.
5 sets.
After Jiang Xiu finished making the clothes, Gu Lixia returned to the house. Jiang Xiu's, her own, and Jiang Wen's were all three-piece suits, three sets in total. She took the laundry detergent and went to the platform to wash the clothes.
At first Jiang Xiu thought it was the dirty clothes collected by her brother and sister-in-law, but later on, the more she looked at it, the less likely it was.
The clothes my sister-in-law took out were all gray.
Not right.
Sure enough, everyone had new clothes.
There are more adults than children.
Gu Lixia saw her sister-in-law hesitated to speak, "No matter how hard it is, you can't make yourself suffer. I only have one life to live, and half of it has passed. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will have endless hardships in this life; as long as you are willing to endure, you will have endless anger in this life; as long as you are willing to work, you will have endless work in this life; first bitterness and then sweetness, let me work hard year after year."
"I've served the Gu family for 20 years, and what have I gained? Going to the countryside is like sending me to my own death. It's impossible. I can enjoy life in the city, but what can I do in the countryside? I'll only be bullied. It's either endure it or die. I don't want either."
"Taking care of the four of you is easier. Huainan is a bit of a prick, you're a bit stingy, Huaibei is a little sunshine, Huaixi is also well-behaved, and your brother doesn't smoke, drink, or hit people. He's responsible and has a good temper. I haven't discovered anything else yet. I'm very satisfied with the life I've chosen. It was you who chose us, and we've become a family."
