Chapter 43 Planning (please collect and recommend)
Feeling sticky on his body, Zhang An wanted to take a bath, but it was not convenient to take a bath at home, and the river water in this season was too cold for it. Go to the river and take a shower.
So Zhang An closed the door of the room, entered the space and took a bath for himself. Of course, he used a basin to fetch water into the grass next to him. The water in this pool was something Zhang An wanted. If you continue to drink, how can you swim in it?
The temperature inside the space is constant, which means it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
After taking a shower, Zhang An put on his clothes and then went to see the ginseng plant he transplanted today.
The ginseng seedling that originally had one leaf now has three leaves and is quite tall. Zhang An poured some water on it.
When Zhang An left the room, Wang Fang was already picking vegetables.
I don’t raise chickens at home, so I don’t have to eat the chicken stewed with mushrooms.
“Mom, why don’t you buy some chickens and feed them so that you can eat them when you want and sell them if you want.” When I think of chicken stewed with mushrooms, I think of raising some chickens at home.
"We already have so many things to feed at home. If we buy chicks again, we won't be able to take care of them until we get busy in April and May."
Wang Fang actually wants to raise them. After all, it takes a lot of time to buy them on the street. It cost a lot of money, but she was worried that she would be too busy and would not be able to feed well when the time came.
“There is nothing we can’t take care of. You see, the ducks at home go out to find food every day without us having to worry about it. The pigs also eat pig vegetables, so there is no need to cook pig food for them. During this time, we I bought the chicks and when they were grown up in April or May, I put them in the cherry forest and let them find their own food."
Zhang An was really moved after saying this. My mother decided to see if there were any chicks hatched in the village. If not, she would go to the market to buy some.
I don’t know when the ducks at home secretly hatched a group of ducklings. The family didn’t even notice it. If it weren’t for the long string of ducklings behind them when they came back in the past two days, Zhang An Don't even know this.
Now there are seven big teal ducks and thirteen little ducks at home.
The big ducks in the past were very good at laying eggs, so the family was reluctant to kill one of them. When these little ducks grew up, hey, hey, Zhang An drooled when he thought of those scenes.
After more than an hour of Wang Fang's busy work, a table of hot dishes was ready.
Wang Fang, who was saying a few days ago that the food at home was so good and wanted to be frugal, put in the effort tonight.
It is still the traditional nine bowls, four meat and four vegetables plus a large pot of soup.
Today's soup is meat slices boiled with mushrooms. Although it is not as fragrant as stewed chicken, it is still very delicious.
When the meal was ready, Zhang An went to the second grandfather’s house to invite the second grandfather and his grandmother to come over for dinner.
Seeing that Wang Fang had cooked so many dishes, the two old men said that Wang Fang was too wasteful. They all ate as a family, so they could just cook whatever they wanted.
Wang Fang smiled and said it was okay. Anyway, he worked hard all year round just to have a good bite.
Zhang An took out his own wine made from Gastrodia elata and poured a glass for Grandpa Second.
He knows the amount of Mr. Zhang’s food. No matter how delicious it is, he only drinks a small cup every time. This is a terrible sense of self-discipline.
"Second Grandma, you should drink some too. This wine is good for the elderly, mainly because it lowers blood pressure."
Zhang An also poured some for Second Grandma.
The second grandma herself often drinks medicinal wine, so she did not refuse.
The fungus and meat slices soup tonight was highly praised by everyone, especially the last batch of pea tips cooked at home. It was a feast for everyone.
"Your peas are not old yet, they are still edible." The second master picked up a chopstick and ate it, then took a sip of wine.
"These are the last batch. They won't grow after pruning. They have already begun to bloom. You have to wait until the end of the year to eat them."
The two old men also secretly thought it was a pity.
After the meal, Zhang An stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for the elders in the family.
Zhang Jianguo talked to Mr. Zhang about the money again. But in the end, Mr. Zhang rejected it, and the couple wanted to say something else.
“Xiao Da, you don’t have to think about giving us money all the time. We are old and have nothing to spend money on. It’s time for Xiao An to find a wife. The family needs money. There are many places, and we all know in our hearts what you have done to us two old people over the years. They are closer than the few of us who have children of our own. They just want to take the coffin book out of our hands, so this matter Don't say it again, and don't say it out in the future, your second master won't admit it anyway."
Xiao Da called Zhang An's father Zhang Jianguo, because he is the younger generation and the son of the family. Boss, that’s why you shout.
Second Grandma also tried to persuade her. Grandpa Zhang told his wife about the ginseng he found on the mountain today.
They all felt that Zhang An found this by himself and had nothing to do with them. The eldest brother and his wife had raised them up. Now that they are gone, these children should help them take care of them and lead their lives. You cannot be without conscience.
At night, Zhang An was lying on the bed, thinking about what to do with this ginseng.
Now, although the family is not very short of money, he wants to buy the educated youth dormitory in the village. If he doesn't buy it now, it will be easier for others to buy it later.
You can also keep it in your hands, but you have space. It’s not cost-effective to keep this thing. You’d better exchange it for some cash.
Zhang An made up his mind to go to the county tomorrow to see if he can take action.
I didn’t feel it when I was running in the mountains, but now I feel a little tired when I lie down.
Not long after, Zhang An fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight, and I didn’t hear the crow of chickens in the village.
Zhang An can’t remember when he fell asleep last night, but it was definitely not very late.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock.
It seems that Zhang An has not slept for so long in his life. It seems that he was tired from running yesterday.
In the past, it was always time, and the biological clock would naturally wake up Zhang An.
After Zhang An washed up, he found that his parents were not at home. They might have gone up the mountain.
There was not much grass in the pig pen, so Zhang An cut a bunch of grass in the space and put it out, and added some food to the three little black pigs in the pen.
I sprinkled some spring water on the small trees in the cherry forest.
Although Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo found that the saplings grew too fast at first, they didn't find out why, and they got used to it later.
Now they have grown to half a person's height and are spreading branches everywhere. There may be no hope of growing into a big tree this year, but they should still be able to bear some fruits.
Zhang An has seen flower buds growing on these branches. Although the number is smaller, at least they can bloom.
The old peach trees in the corner look much better now.
Zhang Jianguo planted this many years ago, but without proper management, it grew crookedly, and the peaches produced were small and unpalatable.
So Zhang An added nutrients to it this year. Not only did he change the soil at the roots and feet, but he also watered it with spring water every day. After a month, the effect has improved a lot. It depends on the fruits this year. .
If it remains the same as last year, Zhang An will cut it down and graft the peach trees in the space.
Make lunch. The dishes are left over from last night. There is still a lot left, so Zhang An just needs to heat them up.
At this time, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang had not returned yet. Zhang An planned to go to the county town, so after eating first, he put the dishes on the stove so that they would not get cold when his parents came back to eat.
