Cats are over winter, and finally ushered in the spring when all things recover.

Although it is still a bit chilly in spring, it is much better than the heavy snow in winter.At least Qu Mingyue's body has taken care of herself, she can go out after taking off her heavy padded jacket and putting on a thinner jacket.And there is no need to light a lot of charcoal fires day and night.

And Qu Mingyue was so suffocated that they didn't even go out even when it was said that there would be a lantern festival in the city during the Lantern Festival.It's not that they don't want to go out, but the lantern show only opens in the evening, if they go, it will be midnight when they get home.

Although Qu Mingyue was very curious about this ancient and original lantern festival, but the old and the young at home, it was so late and the road was not easy to walk, it was really inconvenient to go--Speaking of this, Qu Mingyue couldn't help but feel resentful.I thought about buying a donkey or a horse earlier.But not to mention the price of horses, even donkeys were worth more because of the snowstorm.

Lizheng said that the situation in their village is like this.Not too bad.Let’s talk about the villages in the same county, and there was even one village where nearly twenty families died. That village was not big at all, and now there are only a few sparse families left.I heard that the government intends to let them go to other villages, and it is difficult to manage a few families once they come.Also more dangerous.

After all, the places where they live are not far from the mountains, and there may be wild boars and wolves.When the time comes, there will be danger, and it will not be something that several families can handle.

But this is not in Qu Mingyue's control, that is, to listen.

The weather was fine that day, and before it was time to sow the seeds, Granny Qiao decided to help Qu Mingyue remove all the quilts from before, and wash them quickly.I haven't found a suitable time, and the sky is a bit hazy.She has nearly ten quilts, which is really inconvenient.

"Okay, listen to my mother-in-law, I'll heat the hot water." Qu Mingyue thought about it when she heard it.Although the quilt is sun-dried, it hasn't been washed for almost a month after sleeping, and it's not worth changing the sheets.

These dozens of quilts, either thin or thick, have all been padded by Qi Luochen and his team.Thinking that the weather is going to warm up, she has to change the quilt, so she should wash it quickly.Grandma Qiao said that according to her experience, the next few days will be sunny.

"Why do you need to boil water, just wash it like this. The weather is much warmer." These days, although the food in Qu's house is distributed according to the regulations of kilometers, the things used will definitely not be divided so finely.

Especially water, charcoal and the like.The little charcoal they got was not enough to burn.Moreover, looking at the weight of the charcoal, they also knew in their hearts that although this may be the largest amount that can be produced per kilometer, it may not mean that they do not want to let them rub off on the Qu family.

It's just that everyone knows it.And Qu Mingyue is not someone who cares about that little thing.Anyway, she and Qu Dongyan also want to use it.

And she can't just watch herself eating braised pork with white rice at one table, and three people at the other table eating brown rice and pickles, right?

So Granny Qiao and Charlene have basically taken care of the entire Qu family's housework - if it weren't for the taste of the food they made, it would not be as good as Qu Mingyue, and Qu Mingyue wouldn't even be able to cook.

In the end, Qu Mingyue did not argue for Charlene and Granny Qiao to join forces.Before, Qu Mingyue could use hot water to wash everything under the pretext of heavy snow and cold weather, but now the wind and snow have stopped for many days, and the snow on the ground has melted in sevens and eighties.How could Grandma Qiao still be so 'wasteful' according to her.

Save those charcoal fires, they can be used in the next year if they are well preserved.

Several people washed the quilt, wrung it out together and dried it on the bamboo pole.Speaking of this, Qu Mingyue also felt that the shed at the foot of her yard was crushed and collapsed, and she needed to find someone to repair it.Because in winter.There was wind and snow from time to time, and there were no livestock in the family to live in a shed, so Qu Mingyue didn't care about it all the time.

This time the weather is fine, and she must buy a donkey or mule or something.Maybe there are chickens and ducks, so the shed should also be repaired.

While talking to Granny Qiao and Charlene, there was a knock on the door.The two half-grown dogs were already mighty now, not to mention the breed of dogs that Qu Mingyue had chosen, even the food they ate was beyond the reach of ordinary dogs.So he grows fat and strong, only three or four months old.On all fours, Qu Mingyue's calf was half-high, and when she stood up, she was even waist-level with Qu Mingyue.

At this moment, there is a gurgling in the throat, and the posture is obviously that if the people who come in make any changes, they will pounce on them.

Qu Dongyan opened the door, and it was Li Zheng and his eldest son who came in.

"Li Zheng is coming, hurry up and sit in the house. Xiao Yan is going to make tea. General, you two go play with Xiao Shan, don't make trouble." The two dogs waved to them when they saw Qu Mingyue welcome people into the house , Wagging his tail happily and turned around.Playing with Xiaoshan who was just thrown off by them again.

Xiaoshan didn't care that he was just abandoned by two dogs.Still happy with their intimacy.

"Lizheng is here today, but what's the matter?" Qu Mingyue poured tea for Lizheng and his son.She didn't think Li was here to visit, let alone bring his son with him.

"Yeah, something is up." Lizheng drank his tea and smiled. "It's not the beginning of spring, and it's about to sow, so I want to talk to you. First, there is spring plowing before planting, and you are the host. This needs to be hosted by your family. Second, it is the seeds, which should be bought ."

Qu Mingyue knew about the seeds, and Lizheng explained to Qu Mingyue when the tenants were divided.As for this spring plowing, do you want to host it?Does it mean the same thing as she thought of hosting?

So Qu Mingyue asked, what kind of regulation is this Chun Geng hosting.It's just about this point, but Lizheng is a little hard to say.

After thinking for a while, he said, "According to the rules here, young master Qu must come forward to do this." Everyone knows that the head of the Qu family must be Ms. Qu, and no one dares to underestimate her. .Especially after experiencing the snow disaster relief, everyone respected her even more.

However, this spring plowing still needs a man to do it.Otherwise, how can we sow and reap?If a woman did this, what would it be called?

But Li Zheng didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say that men have presided over the past years, which is the ancestor's rule.

"It's nothing. Xiaoyan is not a child, he won't shirk this. It's just that I want to ask him what to do. After all, I don't know what the rules are, and I don't know what to prepare that day. Ah." Qu Mingyue couldn't be bothered that she had to go.Anyway, she and Qu Dongyan never separated.

Lizheng didn't expect that Qu Mingyue didn't have any other thoughts at all. He originally thought that the name of the host was Qu Mingyue after all, and he was afraid that she would think that they asked Qu Dongyan to host, and she felt that they didn't respect her.

This is totally not the case now, so Li Zheng is relieved.He started to tell Qu Mingyue what to pay attention to that day.Qu Mingyue also quickly asked Qu Dongyan to come in and listen. After all, spring plowing is very important to farmers.

If Qu Dongyan makes a slight error at that time, I am afraid that the harvest of the year will be counted on Qu Dongyan's head.

"About the seed problem, I hope Lizheng can help me. Check it out for me. After all, I'm new here, and I don't know which store sells good seeds that are prolific and disease-resistant." Qu Mingyue took advantage of Qu Dongyan. While listening to Li Zheng talking about the regulations for spring plowing, he went into the house to get money.

It was five taels more than what Lizheng said.It can be regarded as a 'tip' to Lizheng.As for five taels, it is not a small sum.I think it was only 25 taels to Si Cheng in the city back then.

Of course, right now I don't know.

"Here's a little bit of silver. When Wang Li was helping to buy grain seeds, he helped me buy some seasonal vegetable seeds. There is still some open space in my yard. I want to grow some vegetables so that it is convenient for my family to eat."

Li Zheng hurriedly said that it would be easy to handle.A few people still have a good talk.Although Qu Mingyue had never grown vegetables, she had grown medicinal herbs. Besides, there was an old man like Granny Qiao at home, so it must be easy to ask these questions.

When Lizheng was sent away, the quilt had already been washed by Granny Qiao and Charlene, and Qu Mingyue didn't know what to do for a while.

It's still early, and it's not time to finish eating, thinking, Qu Mingyue wants Xia Lin to accompany her to some carpenter's houses in the village to see who can help her repair a shed.

I didn't want to run into Aunt Zhou right after I went out.

Aunt Zhou obviously also went out to wash things, and the ones looking at the big basket should also be quilt cotton clothes.And when they meet, they can't help but exchange pleasantries and ask what they are doing.Coincidentally, this is the big man from the Zhou family who also came out.

"Hey, sister-in-law washes things, brother, you still come out to pick them up." Although the man of the Zhou family is already in his early forties.But Qu Mingyue can be called an uncle at this age, but Xia Lin is almost 30 years old, so she can't be called an uncle.

At this time, the seniority of the few people was messed up.But fortunately, I didn't care that much, and Xiaoxiao passed away.

"This is to accompany sister Mingyue to find a carpenter. The shed at this house has collapsed under the weight of snow and has not been cleaned up. It has been dragging on until now." Charlene helped answer their intentions again.

"Hey, I still need to look elsewhere. Let's build a shed here, and I don't want a carpenter to come. Xiaoyue, I can just find you Uncle Zhou, and I will definitely clean it up for you." Aunt Zhou worked in Qu's house Son, and because Qu Mingyue took care of her during her illness, she is much closer than ordinary people.

And she knows that if she does things for the Qu family, as long as she does her job well, she will be paid a lot.Such a good thing, my own man can do it, how can I let others take it?

"Really, since Uncle Zhou knows how to do it, I naturally don't have to look far away. It's right next to the house, so it's convenient." After all, I live next door, so I know more about Zhou's family than other people's.The people are not bad, and the family is also considered virtuous and filial.

After discussing this matter, Qu Mingyue and Charlene returned home.Qu Dongyan and Granny Qiao were surprised to see them coming back so soon.After hearing this, Grandma Qiao laughed.

"This Yinghua'er is shrewd. I'm afraid it's because she knows how generous you are. I've never seen her take care of her man like this before. She loves her man so much." Granny Qiao's words came naturally. It is a compliment.It is said that Aunt Zhou manages the family well and knows how to love her family.

Of course, Qu Mingyue was also praised.But Qu Mingyue didn't really care too much, she just gave what was due.It's not being taken advantage of.

So just smile, and this matter will be revealed.Waiting for the man from the Zhou family to prepare the things tomorrow, he will start work for her after the money for the materials is settled.Then she could go to town and choose a donkey.

"By the way, sister Xia, you know how to raise chickens and ducks. My shed is quite big, and I can share a piece of it. You teach me how to raise it, and the ones raised at home are better."

For such a simple matter, Charlene naturally nodded in agreement.But she didn't think much about it, and Qu Mingyue just smiled and didn't say much else.

But all the good days she had planned turned into nothing within two days.It doesn't count if you get angry, but you will also suffer disaster. If it wasn't for her cleverness, she wouldn't be able to avoid a beating.
