The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Xu Yin didn't know that her uncle, who had been living abroad all year round, was about to return to China. In the past few days, she had finally become familiar with the front and back of the Xu family's ancestral home.

There is only one family in the east, the Xu Jiang family who moved away.

The courtyard of Xu Jiang's family is larger than that of old Xu's family, but the main house only has three rooms, and two rooms are built on the side for kitchen and hut.

No one has lived in it for more than ten years, and the old house is dark and dilapidated. It always feels like it will be blown down by a strong wind.

Xu Jiang's yard is really big, especially the one on the east, which is several acres.

Xu Yin thought that if she could buy the Xu Jiang family's homestead, it would be quite good to build a forest sanatorium with a beautiful environment and a wide view.

Build a boardwalk in the back mountain that leads all the way to the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy abundant negative oxygen ions while walking in the forest.And it fits well with the mission theme released by the system - leisure, health and retirement.

I just don’t know if his family is willing to sell it.

Due to the conflicts between the two families for many years, even if they were willing to sell, they probably wouldn't be willing to sell it to the old Xu family.

There are more neighbors to the west. I walked past several yards, but they were all empty and unoccupied, and the weeds in the yards were growing tall.

The most indispensable thing in Taoli Village is the mountainous land. Tea gardens, vegetable gardens, cultivated farmland and vegetable plots along streams and rivers at the foot of the mountains. Can you grow them anywhere?Now that they have moved to the foot of the mountain, who would want to go back to their old house to grow vegetables?So it was left alone.

Xu Yin walked all the way, with many ideas on how to make use of these lands popping up in her mind.

However, all ideas must wait until my cousin arrives and the negotiation with the village chief goes smoothly, otherwise it will be empty talk.

I wandered to the door of Grandpa Li's old house and couldn't walk anymore, so I sat down with Xiao Tao on the large threshold of Li's yard. The camphor tree in front of Li's house had grown so tall that it was very cool to sit under the shade.

Looking at the layers of terraced fields below, enjoying the tea garden scenery, drinking water and eating snacks to replenish energy.

Xiao Tao exclaimed how beautiful it was: "My home is also in a rural area. Although it is close to the mountains, all the trees on the mountains are moso bamboos. It is cool in summer, but I can't see such an open view."

Xu Yin smiled and said: "Zhushan? It's quite good. There are bamboo shoots dug all year round."

She recalled that in a certain life, her family had a bamboo mountain as the front door, where they could dig bamboo shoots, raise chickens, grow medicinal materials, and weave bamboo products... The dust-laden experiences were dug out from the depths of her memory, and they were still vivid in her mind.

Then I thought of Comrade Xiaojin from her family. I don’t know if we can meet each other in this life, and if so, I don’t know what identity it will be. I have a little expectation for some reason.

After resting enough, we returned home.

Further to the west, there are also decaying old houses and abandoned yards. This is the area where the ancestors of Taoli Village lived. You only need to have a general understanding.

After that, I spent another half day walking around the mountain wall behind the Xu family's old house.

The uncanny workmanship of nature split the mountain in half, but did not completely split it. Half of it was left. This half of the mountain formed a nearly vertical cliff.

When there is plenty of rain, there will be gurgling spring water flowing down the cliff, as if the mountain god is sweating.

These springs fall to the bottom and form small streams. They flow down the mountain along the ditches beside each house, nourishing tea gardens and vegetable gardens along the way. Finally, they merge into large streams and rivers and flow to rivers, seas and lakes further away...

The water that the villagers drink is also from these mountain springs, but they receive it at the opening of a mountain crevice, without passing through the surface, so it is cleaner.In the past, you had to carry a bucket to drink water. After Grandpa Xu became rich, he paid the water company to weld water pipes at the openings of the mountain cracks and connected the mountain spring water to every household.

After Grandpa Xu became prosperous, he not only gave back to his neighbors in this matter, he also helped the village build roads leading to the town and county. The street trees shading both sides of the road were the famous local mango trees.Each family is allocated thirty to fifty plants, and during the fruit ripening season, they can make some money by selling them.

Grandpa Xu connected the village to the Internet more than 20 years ago, installed telephones and computers for the village committee, and later installed a movie curtain wall in the village committee activity room, allowing villagers to watch popular movies without leaving home. Movie.Despite its remote location, Taoli Village is no stranger to high technology and modern life.

Therefore, the villagers in Taoli Village are very grateful to Grandpa Xu, and most of their care for Xu Yin stems from their gratitude to the old man.

From the back mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a road paved with stone slabs. Grandpa Xu also paid for the stonemason to pave it.

It's just that it's been in disrepair, and since the villagers moved to the foot of the mountain, they rarely take this road anymore. To cut firewood or collect mushrooms in the back mountain, you have to climb up the earth and stone mountain road at the foot of the west mountain.

Therefore, many sections of the road were blocked by fallen branches and scattered vines. Xu Yin could only take a step and rest, but after walking for a while, she could no longer pass.

Xiao Tao's body was flexible, and he used the power of branches and vines to go around and walk up for a short distance. He came back and reported: "There are also many fallen vines and branches up there, and many of the stone paths are broken."

Xu Yin asked her to write it down and ask someone to clean up the road later, and then find craftsmen to repair it.

"There's no need to hire people to clean up the road. I'll ask Brother Fang and the others to help, and we can clean it up in one morning." Xiao Tao was eager to give it a try.

She felt that after coming to Taoli Village, there was no use for her.

Miss Xu is too self-conscious. She eats and rests at the same time, and never shows off when she goes out for a walk. When she is tired, she will sit down with her to rest, drink water and eat some pastries made by Aunt Song to replenish her body.

This gave her the illusion that she was also on vacation.

The air and scenery in the mountains are good. I was awakened by the chirping of birds in the morning and fell asleep on my pillow at night. The quality of my sleep improved a lot.

What they eat is all healthy food. Vegetables grown by the villagers themselves, domestic chickens, ducks and eggs, mushrooms picked in the mountains, and bamboo shoots dug... Ms. Xu has a small appetite, so she eats a lot of the vegetables sent by the villagers. The bellies of several.

With a salary that is twice as much as before, but enjoying a comfortable life that may not be achieved after retirement, Xiaotao feels very uneasy. If she doesn't find something to do, she always feels sorry for the salary that Mr. Xu paid her.

Not only her, but Brother Fang and the other four also had the same idea.

They worked in pairs, but Miss Xu didn't like them following her around, so she just said that when something happened, she could just call him.

They had nothing to do and had already taken turns cooking several batches of tea.

While Ms. Xu was taking a nap, they would enjoy the cool air and drink tea in the patio, making the brothers at the security headquarters extremely envious.

Xiao Tao's proposal was unanimously approved by Fang Ge and the other two. That evening, after the sun set, they took turns cleaning the trail with sickles and brooms.

Seeing how active they were, Xu Yin didn't hire extra people to do the work.

It happened that she was also a little greedy for the famous local ginger duck, so that night she asked Aunt Song to kill the young duck brought by the village chief and make it an extra dish for everyone.
