The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu went into the house and put wheat seeds and rapeseed seeds into the space. He went to the kitchen to grab some peppercorns and cinnamon bark... put them in a pot and boiled them, then filtered out the aniseed ingredients, scooped out the boiled water and dried them in the In the empty oil drum.

Turned around and went to the side room, poured the moldy watercress in the bamboo plaque into a large wooden basin and carried it to the well. Fetched water, rinsed the moldy watercress, poured it into the bamboo plaque and spread it out to dry. Pour it into the cold cooking water, add salt and Soak in white wine.

Zhao Di collected the dried peppers and handed them to Li Yu. She looked at the douban in the barrel and said, Cousin, are you going to start making douban?

Li Yu nodded, Yeah! You go and choose the dishes and leave it to me.

Okay, I harvested a lot of cowpeas today, so the sauce jar may not be enough.

You make lunch first, and then ask Ah Qing to go to the Tuyao and ask his family to deliver the sauce vats and jars.

Okay. Zhao Di went to wash vegetables and cook. Li Yu went to the verandah and stored some peppers and cowpeas in the space. He returned to the verandah and started to chop the peppers. He saw her holding a kitchen knife in both hands and swinging it from left to right. Quickly, dong dong... he started chopping.

Mrs. Chen also arrived at the entrance of Xishan Village at this time. She saw a few old men and a few women sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. She walked over and smiled politely at them and said: A few uncles and aunties are enjoying the cool air here. ?”

Several people glanced at her and nodded with smiles. One woman saw that she looked similar to Chen Zhaodi and asked with a smile: Sister-in-law, are you here to visit relatives?

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, No, I want to ask you about something!

What are you talking about? the mother-in-law said with a smile.

I would like to ask how the girl from the Li family who broke off the engagement with the Zhang family is like? I heard people say that she is very cruel now.

The mother-in-law glanced at her and said, That girl is now a stand-up person, and she is very strong. You don't know that she beat up Zhang Decai and his wife that day, oh! She is not alone in the two of them combined. My opponent, that girl used to be silent, but now she seems to be a formidable one.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen thought to herself: Zhang Decai is strong and strong, Mrs. Zhao is not ordinary tall and strong, even he and the two of them can't beat that girl, Chunsheng's small body can't withstand her torment, even if you have money, you can't buy it. As for our son, we wouldn’t dare to have such a wife.

After Mrs. Chen thought about it, she stood up and smiled dryly at her mother-in-law: Auntie, thank you very much. I have something to do at home, so I will go back first.

The mother-in-law looked at her and nodded, watching her walk away. The mother-in-law sitting next to her said, I remember she seems to be Chen's cousin! Why did she come to inquire about Xiaoyu?

The mother-in-law curled her lips and said, She must have bad intentions. She won't come if she looks like this.

Zhao Di prepared the meal and came out to see that Li Yu had chopped half a jar of chili peppers and called all the workers back home to prepare for the meal.

When Li Mei came home, she saw the cowpeas and peppers piled up on the porch, Why did you collect so many today? The total of these items is probably more than ten dan!

Zhao Di responded: Seven shi of peppers, six or seven shi of cowpeas, and kohlrabi. Mom, people from several villages have come to sell vegetables. It's like going to a fair at home.

Li Qing looked at Li Yu's fingers that were red from the heat of the chili peppers, frowned and said to Li Yu, Sister, in the afternoon you go to the woods to dig the soil with Brother An while I chop the chili peppers at home.

How many kilograms of chili peppers can you chop with those thin arms and hands? Li Mei smiled and pointed at Liu Changmin, Let your uncle chop the chili peppers at home. He has thick skin and thick flesh and is not afraid of spicy food.

Liu Changmin smiled honestly, Yeah! I'll chop it at home. I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of spicy food.

Everyone sat at the table and ate and talked. Xiao An looked at the warm scene of Li Yu's house and thought of the deserted home, lowering his head and eating rice.

Li Mei put some meat and vegetables in his bowl, Xiao An, don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables.

Xiao An felt warm in her heart, Aunt Li, I am eating, and you are eating too.

After dinner, Li Qing went to the earthen kiln workshop to get a sauce jar. Everyone sat and selected vegetables for a while and rested for a while. Laidi and Zhaodi stayed at home to choose vegetables, Liu Changmin stayed at home to chop peppers, and Li Yu and Xiao An went to the woods to dig fertilizer. earth.

Li Qing took the sauce vat and pottery pot back to exchange for Li Yu. He went back and paid the money. Li Yu sent Luo potter away and went back to the house to wash the kohlrabi and cowpeas that Zhao Di and her sisters had packed up and dry them in a bamboo plaque. Then I went to put the pickles that shopkeeper Liu asked for in the bamboo basket, and then returned to the kitchen and started to chop the peppers again.

The brother and sister Zhang Guisheng returned to Qingshan City. Zhang Guisheng went to ask Zhang Defa: Dad, when did Li Yu change into a different person and become almost unrecognizable?

Zhang Defa thought about these days when he went around begging for help in order to buy goods and Zhang Guisheng's betrothal gift, and he became angry. That bitch, your mother and sister have changed their appearance since the day your mother and sister forced her to break off the engagement. You don't need to pay attention to her. Just wait and see with peace of mind to marry Miss Zhu’s family!”

When Zhang Guisheng heard his father say that Li Yu became like this because he broke off the engagement, he felt secretly happy for some reason, Dad, I understand, I'm going to read a book.

Zhang Defa looked at his son with relief, Go!

Chen Zhaodi looked at the crying Zhang Guixiang and comforted her softly: Good girl, if you endure it for a few more days, your father will have someone take care of her.

Zhang Guixiang rolled over from the bed and threw herself into Chen Zhaodi's arms. Mom, remember to help me vent my anger when the time comes. Chen Zhaodi nodded and patted her vest gently.

Li Yu didn't know that the Zhang family was still thinking about repaying her, and was chopping chili peppers with gritted teeth. Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu happily, Little fish! You almost cut through the cutting board, and there isn't much left. Just go and play for a while!”

Li Yu's face turned red, Uncle, I'm fine. Look, there's still a bunch of them there. You can't chop them all by yourself until dawn.

You kid must be strong. Liu Changmin sped up, and the two of them persisted until the evening when there were still two baskets of peppers left to chop. Li Yu walked around in circles in the yard with his sore and swollen hands.

When Li Mei and others came back, they saw more than a dozen jars of chopped chili peppers, as well as bamboo racks full of cowpeas and kohlrabi shreds in the yard. They smiled and praised them, You guys are so nimble! You did this all in one afternoon. eventful.

Zhaodi came out with a low table and said, Mom, didn't you see that my cousin almost cut the cutting board through?

Li Yu smiled and said, It's not my fault alone! The kohlrabi shreds were cut by cousins ​​Zhaodi and Laidi.

Li Qing looked at the few people and smiled: Sister, cousin, you have worked hard.

Li Mei touched Ah Qing's head and said, Ah Qing and Xiao An worked hard too. They dug up all the fertile soil in the forest and piled several piles of compost next to the wasteland!

Everyone has worked hard. My cousin asked me to stew chicken soup. Zhao Di put the chicken soup on the table and turned to look at Li Yu, Hey! Cousin, I just wanted to ask you, where did you conjure the pheasant? ?”

Didn't I go out for a walk just now? I was fighting in the woods at that time. Li Yu joked casually. After a lively meal, Liu Changmin and Li Mei sent Xiao An to his door before returning. Got home.

Qian looked at Xiao An's cheerful expression and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Li Mei returned home, Li Yu took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to Li Mei, Aunt, you use this money to repair the house.

Li Mei took the money and held it in her arms, looking at Li Yu gratefully, Yu'er, my aunt will slowly save the money to pay you back.

Aunt, if you say that again, you don't regard us siblings as your relatives. Besides, I can't pick those wolfberries on the mountain without the help of you and my two cousins. And you guys didn't help make all the pickles at home. from!

Li Mei and Liu Changmin looked at Li Yu, Liu Changmin's eyes turned red, Yu'er, uncle will always remember your help.

Li Yu smiled and said, Uncle, what you say is so unreasonable! Liu Changmin scratched his head and smiled Hey, hey.

Li Mei arranged, Tomorrow, your uncle and I will go back to the village chief to buy the foundation before the rainy season comes, hire craftsmen to build the shed, and the fish will be almost done. By then, Zhaodi and Laidi will Come back and help.”

Okay, I'll do as you say. Liu Changmin said cheerfully.

Then hurry up and get to work. Li Mei took Liu Changmin and helped Li Yu chop out all the peppers. Li Yu and the others also washed the cowpeas and kohlrabi and dried them on the porch before dragging their sore bodies to wash them. After bathing, I went back to the house and fell asleep.

Li Mei and his wife returned to Dongshan Village early the next morning, and Li Qing also went to school. Li Yu took two cans of pickles and handed them to Li Qing, Ah Qing, this is for your husband to thank him for helping us write.

Li Qing took the bamboo basket and said, Okay, sister, don't be too tired at home. I'll be back after school to help.

I know, let's go! We'll be late later. Li Yu went to the wasteland. Chen Yaohui and several villagers working there were already plowing and hoeing. Xiao An came back with a load of grass on his back and fell to the wasteland to feed ox.

Chen Yaohui asked Li Yu loudly, Xiaoyu, what do you plan to plant in these lands?

Li Yu said loudly: Uncle Chen, I plan to plant winter wheat and rapeseed.

Rapeseed? Chen Yaohui asked curiously, What is that thing grown for? Li Yu also felt strange, Press the oil and eat it! Haven't you ever grown it? The vegetable oil sold in the town costs thirty cents per catty!

Chen Yaohui shook his head, I haven't grown it before. That vegetarian oil is eaten by vegetarians and practitioners. There is a strange smell in cooking.

Oh. Li Yu finally understood why everyone stopped planting rapeseed. Li Yu asked Xiao An to continue digging the fertilizer and went home.
