Next, Yingbao planted some cantaloupes and courgettes in the vegetable garden.
In addition to these, she also planted several rose, peony and other flower seedlings in the yard.
In order to prevent the flower seedlings from being pecked by the chickens, Yingbao drives the chickens out of the cage every day and throws some grain outside for the hens to peck at.
However, a few chickens seem to want to nest in their nests recently, and they stay in their nests all day long and refuse to move.
Upon seeing this, Chun Niang quickly placed a dozen eggs in each nest. She also placed a bowl of water and a bowl of wheat grains and millet next to the chicken coop so that the hens could hatch their chicks safely.
Mrs. Tang smiled when she saw it and asked: "Chun Niang, when the chicks hatch, can I exchange some eggs for them?"
“You can just take a few of them back when the time comes, there’s no need to change them.” Chun Niang agreed.
There are a maximum of more than a dozen chickens in your own family. If you get more, you will be guilty.
The reason why Chun Niang let the chickens hatch the nest was because the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and the mother-in-law both wanted a few.
Even Mrs. Wen’s nanny wants to raise a few chickens to make it easier to eat eggs in the future.
"That's it, chicks also need eggs to hatch." Tang said, "That's it."
“Okay. I’ll leave you with a dozen or so when the time comes.”
The two talked for a while before Tang left and went home.
Every household has a lot of work in early spring. At this time, they not only have to plow the land to plant rice millet, but also clear the fields to prepare for planting cotton.
At this time, the bacteria should also be taken out from under the straw curtain to allow them to be ventilated and exposed to light. When the weather warms up, they can start to be divided.
Yingbao took advantage of today's rest and quickly moved all the seedlings out of the cave.
Like chestnut saplings, apple saplings and loquat saplings.
This time she did not tell her parents, but went to the orchard to plant by herself.
Her family’s orchard is very large, half of it is wasteland and half of her father’s Yongye field.
The chestnut trees planted earlier have grown up and were just grafted last year. They are expected to bear fruit this year.
Yingbao planted more than a dozen chestnut saplings next to the chestnut trees, and several apple saplings next to the two apple trees.
A few other loquat saplings were planted in the open space on the edge of the orchard.
Pour the saplings with water and cover them with bamboo covers to prevent them from being eaten by chickens.
Dad said that this wasteland should be reclaimed and planted with various fruit trees. Later, a wind pavilion would be built on a high place. When the fruits are ripe, the whole family would come here to eat the fruits and enjoy the cool air.
Ying Bao walked around the orchard and saw the apricot blossoms and the peach blossoms. She couldn't help but grin when she thought about the endless fruits she would eat in the future.
A stable life with adequate food and clothing is the most comfortable life.
“Sister, sister!” Jiang Jie hurried over, followed by two puppies.
"What's wrong?"
Ying Bao hurried over to greet him, "What happened?" To make his eldest brother Jiang Jie so panicked, something must have happened.
Jiang Jie grabbed his sister's sleeve and panted: "The uncle who lives in our vegetable garden insists that Xiao Wu watch him perform a chest-breaking performance. If he doesn't watch, he won't let him go. Sister, go and have a look!"
What is this? Is there such a weird request?
Yingbao ran back as soon as he could.
I ran to my vegetable garden and saw a man named Zhang Meng lying on the ground in a single suit, rolling his eyes. There was a lot of gravel and dirt on his chest.
Xiao Wu squatted on the ground and stared at his chest, marveling.
Xu Kun was holding a big hammer in his hand, and he was following the instructions: "Do you want to learn martial arts from uncle? You will also be very powerful in the future, and you can fight three with one."
Jiang Wu blinked and asked, "Does it hurt?"
“What?” Xu Kun didn’t react for a moment.
Jiang Wu stretched out his finger and poked Zhang Meng's chest, "Will it hurt here?"
"How could it be?" Xu Kun chuckled and kicked Zhang Meng, telling him not to lie down and get up quickly.
Zhang Meng took a deep breath, sat up slowly, and looked at Xu Kun with a resentful look on his face: "Where did you find the stone?" I didn't know how to do some tricks, so I hammered it several times before it broke, and I almost couldn't get out the overnight meal.
Xu Kun winked at him, signaling him to shut up and stop talking. Turning to Jiang Wu, he said, "He doesn't feel any pain at all. It's pretty awesome."
Jiang Wu: "You're lying. Uncle Zhang's face turned pale and he didn't get up for a long time. He must be in a lot of pain."
As soon as Zhang Meng heard this, he immediately stood up, turned his head and grinned in pain, then turned to Jiang Wu and smiled: "It really doesn't hurt. Uncle, I have practiced peerless magic and it's strong."
“What is peerless magic?” Jiang Wu had never heard of this term and was very curious.
Zhang Meng coughed lightly, "It's the kind of Kung Fu that's very powerful in fighting."
“Then you can practice for me.” Jiang Wu was even more curious.
Zhang Meng glanced at the two children of the Jiangcun family standing next to him and hesitated for a moment.
Xu Kun thought that this was an opportunity not to be missed, and winked at him desperately, "Let's practice, the three children are watching."
Zhang Meng had no choice but to endure the pain in his chest and perform a set of punches.
“Good looking!” Jiang Wu clapped his hands and shouted repeatedly: “One more! One more!”
Zhang Meng was speechless.
This brat thinks of himself as a showman.
Ying Bao looked at these two people with admiration.
I didn’t expect them to be so skilled.
Even though he only had one set of punches, in Ying Bao's eyes, this person had strong punches and agile movements. He was indeed a good practitioner.
I have practiced dancing in my previous life, and I have seen warriors boxing and wrestling. I can tell the difference by comparing the two.
“Uncle Zhang, do you really want to teach my brother martial arts?” Ying Bao asked.
Zhang Meng nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes."
“Why should you teach him?” This is what Yingbao doesn’t understand.
Do they want to make money as martial arts instructors in the village?
It's not impossible. There are many children in the village, and each family can provide them with a good living.
Zhang Meng said seriously: "Jiang Wu has excellent bones and is a good martial artist. Although I am disabled, I have also fought on the battlefield. I don't want such a genius to be buried."
Ying Bao was thoughtful.
The younger brother can learn martial arts, and he will not be afraid of being bullied in the future. If he grows up and is drafted into the army, he will also have the ability to protect himself.
Furthermore, she knew that Xiao Wu disliked studying very much, and she had tried many methods but could not change his dislike of studying.
Until now, his writing skills are like those of a caterpillar, incomparable to Xiaojie's.
“Uncle Zhang wants to open a martial arts school in the village?” Yingbao asked.
Zhang Meng paused for a while and nodded: "That's true."
Yingbao: "Well, I'll go home and ask my parents what they want."
After saying that, he took Jiang Wu and Jiang Jie home.
Zhang Meng and Xu Kun looked at each other and smiled, "The matter is half done."
Everyone in the village knows that the daughter of Jiangcun’s main family speaks with great weight at home, and her parents will consider what she says and listen to it.
Just now, I wanted to lure the little kid to learn martial arts from him, but I didn't expect that the boy didn't understand.
Fortunately, his sister did not object and wanted to go back and ask her parents what they wanted.
“It’s worth it! You didn’t suffer in vain today.” Xu Kun chuckled.
Zhang Meng rolled his eyes at him angrily: "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. What happened to the stone just now? Why didn't it break even after hitting it several times?"
Xu Kun blinked: "I didn't want it to look real. That kid from the Jiang family is a thief and a thief. He just keeps an eye on him. I don't dare to do anything."
