Chapter 167: Wife and Children Hot on the Kang
Of course Chen Guifen understands this, but she can’t make the final decision regarding her work points.
"You go back and shovel some fermented fertilizer over. Your uncle is not at home now, and I can't make the decision."
Chen Guifen thought for a while and said: "Wait until he comes back at night I'll show him the fertilizer and see what regulations he has. Do you think it's okay?"
Lu Miao nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go back and get it right."< br>
Lu Miao can't do physical work.
Now that he finally had an opportunity to use his brain to help, Lu Miao wanted to seize it very carefully.
She went back to shoveling the soil.
There was no suitable container at home, so she searched around and took out the gourd gourd that Fu Jingyou usually used to put her snacks in.
Lu Miao sent it twice.
She estimated in her heart that He Hongjin would definitely support this matter, it was just a question of how it was run.
So after delivering the fermented fertilizer soil, Lu Miao especially told Chen Guifen:
“Auntie, don’t throw away egg shells, cabbage seeds, and sweet potato peels if you have them at home in the future. You must save them all for me!”
“Okay, remember them all!”
Lu Miao pulled her, her big eyes wandering, and continued to come up with ideas:
"Aunt, there is strength in numbers. It's not enough for you to save by yourself. You must have sisters who are familiar with you in the team, right? Ask them to save together! Anyway, mobilize!"
Chen Guifen understands Lu Miao meaning, but still couldn't help but be amused by her childish statement.
"You kid, don't be in a hurry to get things done right now. Go back and wait for the news. Once your uncle finalizes the charter, the rest will naturally fall into place."
Lu Miao is charming and naive. He smiled and nodded, knowing that he was too eager.
"Auntie, I will go back first. Uncle, you should do more work and tell him to hurry up and don't delay for too long."
When the weather gets colder in the future, it may rain or snow, which may affect the effectiveness of composting. We must pay close attention to this matter.
“Okay.”
Chen Guifen smiled angrily.
Lu Miao went home peacefully.
The two piles of compost at the door have completed their tasks, and she is exploring alone at home.
Looking at the vegetable seeds Fu Jingyou sown in the backyard a few days ago, sprouts as big as a thumb have sprouted.
Lu Miao found an area on the side of the house in front of the door. After cleaning up the dead branches and leaves, he used small stones to throw out tree roots, broken tiles, small stones, etc. and threw them aside.
Dig the soil bit by bit, clearing out a piece of land about one meter wide and two meters long. Lu Miao holds the fermented fertilized soil and mixes the loosened soil together.
Afterwards, I went back to the backyard and plowed out all the places where sprouts grew densely in the vegetable patch. The pruned seedlings were moved to the newly opened ground in front and planted.
The little seedlings didn’t need much water for rooting. Lu Miao used a washbasin to fetch water. Then she put the washbasin on the ground next to her. She was like playing house, holding out the water from the basin with both hands. Pour a little bit at a time onto the vegetable plot you have planted.
She worked hard on the land as big as her palm for two or three hours, and in the end she felt quite accomplished.
Wiping the sweat off his face, Lu Miao poured the remaining water in the basin aside.
Remembering that Fu Jingyou has been busy with solid physical work recently, she went back to the backyard and used the bamboo net bag that Fu Jingyou had tied to catch the turtles in the water tank.
Fu Jingyou always likes to toss at night. Lu Miao thinks he is annoying, but she can't bear to let him suffer and suffer.
Lu Miao did not dare to kill a live turtle, and she had never handled a dead turtle, but she should be able to do these things.
Fu Jingyou couldn't let Fu Jingyou work outside for a whole day and have to work hard to cook for her when he came back at night. Lu Miao heated up half a pot of hot water, hurriedly poured the turtle into the pot, closed the lid, and waited until the turtle stopped flopping before taking it out.
In the past, when Fu Jingyou killed the turtle, Lu Miao felt that it was just a matter of a few or two. But when it was his turn, it took half an hour just to open the stomach.
She really couldn't get a kitchen knife, so she chopped off the turtle's head directly and started cutting from the neck with scissors, and then she succeeded in breaking open the belly.
Fu Jingyou had to hesitate when he killed the turtle, but Lu Miao simply put a small bowl next to it, including turtle heads, intestines, and oily things. Whatever he thought should be thrown away, he threw it in In the bowl.
She slowly cleaned it up, and she didn't know whether it was because the kitchen knife was not fast enough, or because she was using it wrongly and it was not easy to chop. In the end, she relied on scissors and successfully dismembered the soft-shelled turtle with both hands.
After everything was cleaned up, Lu Miao blanched the turtle in the pot.
She didn’t know how to use a soup can to simmer soup in the stove, so she chose a fat soup can under the cupboard.
Putting the charcoal from the stove into the stove that Fu Jingyou got, then slowly filling it with kindling and small firewood to start the fire. Lu Miao put the soup can in and stewed the soup directly on the stove.
Whether the soup stewed on the stove tastes good or not is another matter, but Lu Miao found that the temperature in the kitchen was much higher after turning on the stove.
It should be great for heating in the winter.
Let's see if we can get some coal back then.
At night, I would light the stove and the water would be warm. I would always have hot water to drink and keep myself warm. I felt happy just thinking about it.
Anyway, in the brick house we live in now, even if the doors and windows are tightly closed and there are gaps in the tiles overhead, there is no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lu Miao was not skilled in housework, but he worked slowly and blindly alone. When Fu Jingyou came back at night, the soup and other things were already simmering on the stove.
The soup was bubbling with two eggs boiled in it.
The flour on the small table next to it was also scooped out from the rice vat and prepared. When he came back, he would add water, mix it, and pull out the lumps under the hot soup.
Fu Jingyou actually knows very well what kind of temperament Lu Miao has, what things he knows and doesn't know in daily life.
So when I got home, I looked at the hot pot and stove, the rice that was cooked and ready to eat, and the sweet and soft little girl who came to greet me.
At that moment, Fu Jingyou’s mood was hard to describe.
Surprised, touched, incredible, happy, grateful, etc.
In short, my heart became warm in an instant.
People often say that a hot bed with a wife and children is what every man dreams of, and it is also the happiest thing in a family.
Fu Jingyou felt that the situation in front of him was no less than "a hot bed with a wife and children".
Lu Miao took the basket from his shoulder, took out the aluminum lunch box and asked:
"How was your work today? Are you tired?"
"It's not bad. Did you kill the turtle? What did you do with it, and what should you do if it bites it?"
"I was very careful."
Lu Miao curled her lips and smiled, asking Fu Jingyou to wash his hands. She fumbled into the flour, mixed some water, mixed it into gnocchi, and put it into the fat belly soup pot on the stove.
“I found out, this stove is very useful.”
"When you have some free time, I'll chop some more firewood and prepare it."
"It's okay to use small firewood now, but it will be better if it gets colder and has coal."
