Yaya woke up before dinner was finished. Fang Nuo got off the kang first, washed the hands that had just pinched the peppers, dried them, and picked up Yaya.
"Our Yaya is awake. Are you hungry? Mommy is eating." Fang Nuo asked, looking at the little boy in his arms. However, the child could not speak yet and could only reply with a few words of "Yeah".
Little Yaya was very happy to be able to see her mother when she opened her eyes. Even though she couldn't speak yet, she looked at Fang Nuo and chatted with her for a while.
Fang Nuo didn't even groan when he saw her. He was not hungry yet, so he was happy to chat with her.
After playing for a while, Yaya lay down on the kang. She went to pour the milk first so that when she wanted to drink it later, the temperature would be lower.
After feeding little Yaya, and seeing that she was good, he put her on the kang, and Fang Nuo continued to finish the unfinished meal.
When she finished eating and looked at the little girl again, the little girl had fallen asleep again. She covered her with a quilt, got off the kang, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and washed them.
After dinner, the day passed. At night, she went into the space by herself, fed all the animals, took a bath in the space, then left the space, added some firewood to the kang, and went to sleep on the kang with the lights off. .
Now little Yaya has to wake up three or six times a night. After so many days, Fang Nuo has become accustomed to hearing the slightest noise, so she gets used to getting up and picking up the child to comfort her.
Then it's time to wipe the diapers, prepare milk powder, feed the baby, and put the baby to sleep.
She wouldn't get up until after eight o'clock in the morning the next day.
When you get up, you light the kang first. When the temperature in the room warms up, you stretch your muscles and bones in the room, and then you go out to fetch water and wash yourself.
There was no water in the water tank at home today, so she had to go out and pick some back for use.
Even if there is water in her space, she can't go out to fetch water for a while. Someone will always suspect something after a long time.
Fortunately, there was a public well not far from her courtyard.
There are three public wells in the village, and most families in the village drink water from these three wells.
In this era, there were only one or two households in a village that could dig a well in their own yard.
For example, in the village where she is staying now, the only one with its own well is the landlord's house. There is more than one well. I heard that there are two or three wells in it.
Now there is the Educated Youth Academy over there, and the well is used by the educated youth.
Fang Nuo went out to pick up two loads of water, filled the water tank halfway, and brought some from the space to fill up the rest.
After fetching water, she made herself a simple breakfast, which was steamed buns and leftovers from yesterday. She heated them up and talked about another meal.
After breakfast, little Yaya woke up once. She changed a clean diaper, fed some milk and then fell asleep again.
After little Yaya fell asleep, she picked out a few baskets of rapeseeds and took them to the backyard to pick out a few ridges and spread them on the ground.
This is a very simple job, just spread the rapeseed evenly on the surface of the soil, drag it with a rake a few times to let the rapeseed fall into the soil, and water it again, and that's it.
After sowing the rapeseed in the backyard, she had nothing to do today, so she found a place to build a nest for the chickens at home.
She used the wooden boards from the pile of furniture she had dismantled some time ago. She picked out a few still usable pieces and spliced them into a square shape with iron nails. Then she put a few adobe bricks on the ground where the nest was to be built, leaving space in the middle so that the back would be better. Clean up.
The top roof is made of hay she left specially. Since it is under the eaves, it only needs to be tilted to one side.
When she was done, she went to catch all the chicks and put them into the newly built chicken coop. She used scissors to cut off the wings and tail of the hen. She was not worried about this, so she tied a rope around one of its feet. , it was just him taking the chicks and moving around the chicken pen.
This was all she did that day, and time passed quickly. When it was time for dinner, she cooked herself a pot of pimple soup, steamed two steamed buns, and took some pickles and kimchi from the space for dinner. .
The next day, the seeds she planted began to germinate, and she prepared to cultivate soil for these seeds to grow.
Because she couldn't find the abrasive tool for making mud balls, she first cut half a piece of bamboo in the kitchen and cut it shorter with a saw, so that she could use it to make mud balls.
Go to the backyard, shovel all the soil on the edge of the vegetable garden, then separate out some soil for seedlings, put in the plant ashes burned a few days ago, and then take some fertilizer from the space to mix it, stir it evenly, and use The abrasive tool made of bamboo turns the soil into small cylindrical soil balls.
After it is done, use your fingers to make a nest in the middle of the soil ball and put the germinated seeds into it.
Some put two in each, some put three.
She did this work all morning, and after lunch, she finished the rest, then got some relatively fine soil, spread a layer on the surface to cover the seeds, and then poured water to moisten the soil.
Then use bamboo strips to make a wide support on top, cover it with transparent plastic sheeting, and press the edges well before it's complete.
After finishing it, I saw that the backyard was finished, so I washed my hands and returned to the house.
Seeing that Xiao Yaya didn't wake up, she took her into the space and let her continue sleeping on the bed in the space while she went to take a shower and change clothes.
Dinner was served in the space. Little Yaya drank from the bottle while she ate spicy hotpot. Both of them enjoyed the meal.
She stayed at home for the next few days because she didn't want to go out. The main reason was that Xiao Yaya was still young and she was afraid of being blown by the wind when she went out. So she waited until Xiao Yaya was full moon before taking her child out. .
It happened to be spring now. She used to like to watch short videos on her days off from work. At that time, she always saw people from the north going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables during this time.
In the past, she had no time to do these things because she was at work, but she actually yearned for it in her heart.
Now that she finally had such an opportunity, she wanted to see it for herself.
When they got into the mountains, they would put Yaya in the space to sleep, and she would look for wild vegetables everywhere.
After staying at home for a few days, the corn and vegetables grown in the field have grown, and most of the vegetables grown there have also grown. Now that the weather is good, she will open one end of the plastic sheet to ventilate it during the day. , so that the seedlings can grow faster.
When the temperature is low at night, cover it back to prevent the seedlings from freezing to death.
On the day of little Yaya's confinement, Fang Nuo got up early to prepare and took out all the new clothes, shoes and hats prepared for her.
I boiled another pot of hot water, took out a small basin for baby bathing from the space, and prepared everything. Little Yaya also woke up.
She closed the door of the room and the kang in the room was very warm. After ensuring that the child would not be cold, she took off her clothes.
First, let her test the water with her little feet, just to avoid scaring her if she was put into the water.
Unexpectedly, little Yaya was very happy when she touched the water, and her little feet moved in the water.
Seeing that she was really not afraid, Fang Nuo slowly put her into the bathtub, then soaked her in hot water with a towel and covered her body.
