A wooden fence was made by a lumber shop around the site, and a wooden fence was also built in front of the mud wall of the sheep pen to prevent the sheep from having direct contact with the wall. Otherwise, the sheep would rub against the wall and get their wool dirty.
In addition, two circular fences were built with mulberry branches in a high place far away from the sheepfold, each with a diameter of about 25 to 30 feet, in preparation for stacking hay for fodder in the winter.
When winter comes and there is no green grass in the field, we just pile up hay inside the fence and let the sheep walk around outside the fence and eat the hay. This avoids a lot of artificial feeding and makes it much simpler.
When the breeding sheep were put into the field, Hualei saw that there was plenty of space. So, he marked out a piece of land in a corner of the sheep farm and temporarily planted some soybeans, a crop suitable for Mobei.
Because the planting time is relatively late, the flower buds can only make two plans. In the future, if the soybeans grow well, people will eat the beans, and cattle and sheep will eat the bean stalks and leaves. If the soybeans do not grow, people will have nothing to eat. They can only be used as feed for cattle and sheep.
Because there were many bean seeds left, the flower buds were planted along the fence outside the entire horse farm. Every foot of land was used to plant another circle of soybeans.
Rong Jin originally thought that Hua Lei would feel much more comfortable if she didn't have to go to the county government office. But she was still busy as always. Seeing Hua Lei busy all the time with her pregnant belly, Rong Jin felt distressed and helpless at the same time.
However, seeing the village chief who would come to Hua Lei to talk to him from time to time, Rong Jin couldn't refuse the village chief who could barely walk, so Rong Jin quietly discussed with them in advance the time when the village chiefs would come to see Hua Lei.
It is best to come at 10:00 in the morning, when Hualei should have gotten up and had a good breakfast. It is best to come at 4:05 in the afternoon, when Hualei has just finished his lunch break. Don't talk too long each time.
Taking into consideration that Hualei is sometimes thin-skinned and cannot save face, Rong Jin asks Ziyun, Ziyan, Qingqi and Qinghua to take care of Hualei every step of the way and remind her to rest when necessary.
Rong Jin didn't let Hua Lei do anything except talking.
In addition, the study was filled with soft cushions and a small couch so that Hualei could rest at any time.
As for food, that was something that Sister Hehua was very particular about. She never tired of fine food and never tired of delicate minced meat. Every day she made a variety of delicacies for Hualei to eat.
If it weren't for the midwife and Dr. Xiao Xu who told her that pregnant women need proper exercise and walking, Rong Jin would have wanted to cancel Hua Lei's after-meal walk.
Fortunately, Hua Lei did things within her ability, although the village chief and the villagers did have a lot of things to do, especially in Xifeng and Xishan villages, which tried out the production team model that Hua Lei mentioned. Many problems arose in the process, and the number of people coming to Hua Lei was indeed much higher than that of other villages.
However, because the village chief always came on time and asked his son to summarize the problems in writing before coming, Hua Lei did not need to listen to their lengthy statements. As long as she looked at the questions, she understood what happened.
Problems that could be solved were solved on the spot. For problems that could not be solved, Hua Lei asked the village chief to go back first. After she had an idea, she would dictate it to Qing Qi and Qing Hua to write it down and send it over.
Sometimes, he would ask Uncle Zhongsheng and Uncle Zhao to go to the scene to take a look and think of countermeasures. Therefore, although his health was getting worse, the affairs of the several villages and the rabbit farm were relatively smooth and there were no problems.
Before we knew it, it was mid-July, and summer had arrived in Mobei. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Hualei was very afraid of the heat, so if there was nothing special, Hualei would basically stay at home with Zhenzhu, chatting, reading, and cooking.
Earlier this month, Hualei received a small bag of tea from Xiaoyuan in Shangjing City, which was sent by ship. The person said that the tea was picked from his own Huaguo Mountain and weighed only about two kilograms.
I pinched a handful of tea and brewed a pot of tea with hot water, and tasted it carefully with Zhenzhu. In fact, the quality of tea leaves cannot be clearly determined by the flower buds.
In the past, I drank more tea with buds than real tea. Now I drink my own tea, and the tea soup is green, slightly bitter at first, slightly sweet aftertaste, and the tea fragrance is lingering. It should be of medium quality.
Looking at the green tea soup, Hualei remembered the tea dumplings from her previous life, so she decided to ask Sister Hehua to replicate this very distinctive food from her previous life.
Take an appropriate amount of tea leaves and soak them in warm water. After the tea leaves expand, you can take them out, drain the water, chop the tea leaves into small pieces, mix them into the pork filling, then add chopped shrimp paste, add seasonings, and marinate for a while.
While the fillings were being marinated, the dough was kneaded. To make the tea aroma more intense, the warm water usually used for kneading the dough was replaced with warm tea soup.
After kneading the dough, the white flour has a light green tint. There is no matcha yet, otherwise if I added some in, the color would be better looking.
After the skin and filling are prepared, wrap them as you normally would dumplings, and then cook the tea dumplings with tea.
When the bowls of light green tea leaves are served, they are pleasing to the eye even before you start eating. In the hot summer, this color is very popular.
Hualei tried it, and the light tea fragrance made the greasy pork taste fresh. One bite, it was full of flavor. Hualei ate a big bowl without realizing it, and the pearls next to it were no less delicious.
Because they made a lot, they sent some of the wrapped raw tea dumplings to Pei Jingyang and his wife to let them taste it. The remaining ones were divided into two, one for Rong Jin and the other for Zhenzhu to take back to Jiang Yunqi.
In this way, she ate, drank and played every day, and lived a comfortable and carefree life. On this day, Hualei, who was very happy, saw someone who made her happy again.
In the morning, Hua Lei had just finished her breakfast and was taking a walk in the yard when the doorwoman brought in a few young men.
"elder sister……"
"Sister Hua... um, sister-in-law..." Xiaoyuan and Rongjue unexpectedly appeared in front of Hua Lei.
"...Xiaoyuan? Rongjue? Why are you here?" Hua Lei was surprised and happy. "Why is there no news at all? I didn't see you mention anything in the letter? What's going on? Is everyone at home okay?" Hua Lei couldn't help but stand up and greet them.
"Sister, be careful." Xiaoyuan took a few steps forward and supported Hualei.
"Hurry, sit down. What's going on? Why are you here?" Hualei hurriedly gave up her seat and asked Qinglv, Qinghong to make tea and get some snacks.
"Sister, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. We followed the teacher and classmates to Mobei to study. We just arrived in Mobei today and came to find you immediately." Xiaoyuan, who was almost as tall as Hualei, said with a smile.
