Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children: Chapter 62 Xu Shian
Chapter 62 Xu Shian
In the evening, I ate wild boar bone soup stewed with sauerkraut, and shredded pork.
Su Anying still has a good way of cooking. There is oil in a big pot here, and a small pot on the stove, and pork bones and pork are stewed in it.
When the oil is refined and ready to serve, stir fry the shredded sauerkraut in the pan, then add bone broth and stew slowly.
Bild pork is cooked with various seasonings, and it is torn apart by hand after a little cooling.
Put some onion shreds, chili shreds, salt and other seasonings on it, cook it with a little hot oil, and the aroma will come out immediately.
This means that now that there is no shortage of oil to eat, Su Anying dares to cook so extravagantly. If it was before, she wouldn't even dare to think about it.
The meal was ready, and it was already dark outside. The couple lit the kerosene lamp and ate dinner happily.
After dinner, Xu Shiyan still went for a walk in the venue, and there was nothing abnormal around him, so he came back to rest with peace of mind.
Wait until midnight before going out for a stroll, and then I felt dawn.
Most of the first snow cannot stand. As the temperature rises, the snow will melt when the sun shines during the day.
The temperature drops in the morning and evening, and a hard layer is frozen again.
The work in the ginseng field was not finished yet, and while it was freezing in the morning, the young people in the team came up the mountain again.
"Third, in a few days the food will be distributed in the team. My father asked me to ask you, where do you put the food for the two of you?"
Xu Shixiang was going to take the college entrance examination, so he stayed at home to review his homework. This time it was Xu Shian who came to work on the mountain.
As soon as Xu Shian saw his younger brother, he asked directly.
Generally speaking, the agricultural team settles a year's work points at the beginning of winter every year, and then everyone uses the work points to convert food and money.
In addition to corn and beans, the big house also grows ginseng.
So every year at the beginning of winter, the food is divided first, and the processed ginseng is all sold, and the money is divided again.
When the family was separated, it was very clear that the work points Xu Shiyan earned before belonged to him.
After Su Anying got married, she also went to work to earn work points, and now that the two of them are still watching references on the mountain, it is estimated that their work points can be exchanged for a lot of food and money.
"Let's put the food at home first, Yingzi and I live on the mountain now, there is no place to put too much food."
Xu Shiyan pondered for a while, and felt that it would be more at ease to leave it at home.
Although my father is not forgiving, he is not greedy for that little food.
Old Mrs. Li was hospitalized and didn’t know what to do. Mrs. Li stayed with her all the time, and there was no one to take care of her at home.
"Okay, that's what my parents said too." Xu Shi'an just passed the message on behalf of his parents, and didn't care about the rest.
"Come on, I'm going to work. I don't have enough pillars and poles for trekking. I have to go into the mountains to pick them up today."
What the locals say is picking up, but not really picking up, but actually going into the forest to cut trees. The so-called gathering firewood means chopping firewood.
The column feet and the large joint poles are the supports of the ginseng shed.
On both sides of the large soil ridge in the ground, a column foot is smashed every ten feet, and a large joint pole is nailed to the top of the column foot, and then the mallet board can be laid.
Most of the mallet boards and Dalian poles can be used for two or three stubbles, but the end of the column foot is buried in the ground, and it will rot within three years, so every time a new mallet is planted, it has to go to the forest to pick up new ones.
In the future, it will be covered with plastic film, and more materials will be used. In addition to column feet and large joint poles, there are also cross arms, branch poles, bow strips, curtains, layering strips, etc.
So ginseng production is an extremely cumbersome and material-intensive task. Regardless of making money from growing ginseng, it is actually really hard work.
"Well, be careful when you enter the mountain. After the snow falls, the beasts will come down the mountain, so be careful." Xu Shiyan had to ask a few words.
At this time, the wild boars are looking for food all over the mountain, and the black blind man is also making the final preparations before squatting in the warehouse, eating wildly, and it is easy to meet wild animals when entering the mountain.
"Don't worry, there are so many people, we all have axes and saws.
I’m not afraid if I meet them, the big guys go up together, and I just eat meat when I kill them. "Xu Shian waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and left.
Xu Shiyan couldn't help sighing as he watched his brother leave in a hurry.
The second elder brother of his family has always had an impatient temper since he was a child. No matter what he did, he felt that if he didn't finish it soon, it would be too late.
In the previous life, when his mother was still alive, Xu Shiyan often heard the old lady sigh, saying that the second brother might be born with a short life.
Since I was young, I have been faster than others in everything. Other children have just learned how to sit at six months, but Xu Shian can already crawl.
If one didn’t see it, Xu Shi’an could climb onto the loom.
Only eight and a half months, Xu Shian can move a few steps, and after ten months, he can walk very firmly.
The elders say that it is not good for children to leave too early, and the implication is wrong if they leave early.
In 1980, Xu Shi'an always suffered from stomach pains. He went to Quanyang No. 50 Hospital for examination and found that it was stomach cancer.
Gastric cancer, even after several decades, there is no good way to treat it.
Not to mention at the time, the only option was surgery to remove the tumor, and then the doctor came back with a box of medicine called cancer enemy.
Surgery plus drug control prolongs Xu Shian's life by five years.
In 1985, Xu Shian's gastric cancer recurred, and the tumor covered his entire stomach. The treatment failed and he died.
His daughter-in-law Wei Mingrong and two sons Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao are left behind, as well as a dozen houses, a large vegetable garden, and hundreds of feet of ginseng.
Less than two months after Xu Shian passed away, Wei Mingrong took his two sons and family property to remarry a man surnamed Huang.
Under the insistence of the Xu family, Wei Mingrong remarried without leaving home, and Xu Haibo and Xu Haitao did not change their surnames.
The family property left by Xu Shi'an, the Xu family doesn't want it either, it's all for the two children.
It's a pity that the brothers of Wei Mingrong's natal family are all prodigal sons, and they come here all day long to eat and drink.
Not to mention Xu Shian's family property, even the money brought by Lao Huang was ruined by these people.
"What are you thinking? Standing here motionless?
The second brother came over just now, why didn't you tell him about the wild boar meat you brought back home this afternoon?
Also, didn’t you leave a pig’s belly yesterday and said it was for the second brother? Forgot to tell him? "
Su Anying looked at her husband standing there motionless, with dazed eyes, and felt strange, so she poked Xu Shiyan's side and asked him.
"Second brother left so fast, I didn't even have time to say it." Xu Shiyan came back to his senses and shook his head.
"Daughter-in-law, you can do me a favor later, put the wild boar belly on the tiles to dry, and I will give it to my second brother in the afternoon."
The folk remedies are said to nourish the stomach with wild boar belly.
Wild boar eats everything and has a strong digestive ability, so some people think that wild boar belly must be good for the stomach.
Whether it makes sense or not, Xu Shiyan is not clear, he is just doing his best.
The conflict between brothers is nothing more than a dispute over money and interests, and has nothing to do with anything else.
He couldn't just watch his elder brother have an accident, and he couldn't watch his two nephews lose their father at a young age.
So try all the methods you can think of, if it is really useful? After all, it is my brother's life.
Readers have been urging for updates, so let’s talk about the update. There can't be too many new book issues, for fear that some recommendations will not be listed and missed. So every day is two or four thousand words.
This book is estimated to be on the shelves in the middle of the month, and there will be more updates after it goes on the shelves, so you can rest assured.
