Chapter 132 Sweet Potatoes and Millet (2)

Fresh food appeared on the Liu family's dinner table that night - steamed sweet potatoes and sweet potato porridge. Everyone ate with joy and it was very popular.

After breakfast the next day, Meixiang set off with a group of people from the Liu family.

This time, Chen Da, Feng Yijia and the two children led the way, and they soon arrived in front of the half-collapsed bamboo house. Meixiang and others walked around the small courtyard twice, and looked at the sweet potato field and millet field respectively, and everyone came to the same conclusion: this place has been abandoned for some years.

Since it is now an ownerless wasteland, Meixiang decides to dismantle and clean up the bamboo house in order to get more information and see if there are any other discoveries.

"Chen Er, Chen San, take everyone to dismantle this bamboo house and clean out the things inside. Be careful not to hurt yourself. Chen Da, Sixth Cousin, Fat Tiger, Little Fat, the four of you go and look around carefully to see if there are any other unusual places." Meixiang instructed while touching the two little ones' heads. She had some selfish motives for making such arrangements. In this huge mountain behind the mountain, the possibility of discovering more things by her occasionally going into the mountain was very slim. She couldn't rely too much on her luck.

Watching the backs of Chen Da and the other four walking away, Meixiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She wanted to give it a try. Chen Da was careful, Feng Yijia was lively and active, and the two little ones were the future kings of the mountain. If the four of them got along well, they could walk around the back mountain of Liuzhou Prefecture. Everything would be exposed under her eyes without a trace.

Chen Er and Chen San led Mei Ying and others to carefully dismantle the dilapidated bamboo house, while Mei Xiang, Chu Zeming, Feng Yizhen, Situ Yidong and others went to see the sweet potato and millet fields. Since no one was managing them, the two fields had completely become wild species growing freely.

Meixiang kept thinking it was a pity as she checked. Since the sweet potatoes grew underground, she couldn't tell which ones were from last year and which ones were from this year. As for the millet, new and old ears were mixed together. If she picked the mature ears from last year, she would trample and damage the new seedlings that had just emerged this year.

After walking around the two plots of land for several times, we finally made a decision to leave the sweet potato field alone for now and pick them all in September when they are ripe. The old ears of millet are easier to distinguish, and June is also the summer planting season, so we need to pick them as much as possible, firstly to prevent them from rotting in the field, and secondly to take them back for trial planting to see how the yield is.

So Meixiang decided to come back tomorrow morning and cut off the old ears of corn with scissors, so that she could harvest some and avoid damaging the new seedlings.

"Miss, the bamboo house has been almost cleaned up." Xiao Shi came over to report.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

In addition to the somewhat rotten bamboos, there was also a set of wooden tables and chairs, and a few coarse porcelain bowls. Because they were a few years old, most of the things that were cleaned out were no longer useful. But Meixiang was even happier to see this. Seeing the smile on her face, Situ Yidong asked curiously, "Sister Xiang'er, are you even happier to see these useless 'junk'?"

"Of course I am happy! Do you know what I am most afraid of seeing?"

"What?" This question aroused everyone's curiosity even more. Only Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong had a look of curiosity and deep thought on their faces.

Mei Xiang glanced at the people who were listening attentively, then took a deep breath and replied, "Skeleton!"

"Now that there are no skeletons, it at least means that the owner of this house, whether actively or passively, at least left alive. This is the best news for us."

"As long as you are alive, you can find ways to make money if you lose it, and you can rebuild your home if you lose it, but if you are dead, then all of this will be impossible. It is so difficult for ordinary people to survive in troubled times. Alas!"

Meixiang's words made everyone sad, especially Meiying and the other seventeen who understood it best. Before they met Meixiang, they had been living a life of no fixed place to live with no food to eat. Those painful days of displacement were really too hard to endure, and it was really not easy to survive at that time.

Everyone was not in a very good mood until they returned to Liu's house. The two little ones also calmed down for a rare time and were no longer tired.

"What's wrong with everyone? Could it be that someone got there first?" Sun Shao, who was sitting in the yard, asked jokingly.

"No, I'm fine. We just talked about some heavy topics so everyone was a little depressed." Meixiang put down the things in her hands and replied with a depressed look, then she came to her senses and saw that it was Sun Shao: "Why did you come out? Are you healed?"

"Okay, okay, Doctor Wang has confirmed it again and again." Seeing Meixiang's nervous expression, Sun Shao felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey water. "If you don't believe me, I'll run two laps for you to see?"

Meixiang looked at him and curled her lips: "It's obviously your leg that's injured, why has your brain become so childish?"

"Hahaha......"

After dinner, everyone sat together at the conference table in the main room to drink tea. A few days ago, the table was extended and a few chairs were added, which made the main room seem a bit crowded and closed. But now everyone is used to sitting here whenever they want. There are papers and pens on the table, so when everyone chats, they can easily record any good ideas or new ideas at any time.

"Sister Xiang'er, you have to admit that this conference table you made is really useful, simple and convenient. I also put one like this in the tent. You have to admit that those rough guys in the barracks immediately become polite as soon as they sit in front of this table, hahaha..." Situ Yidun said with a smile.

"I don't have any big ideals or ambitions. My only wish is to make my life more comfortable. That's why I put my brain into coming up with these things. Otherwise, I'm just too lazy."

"No, no, no, sister Xiang'er, you should use your brain more whenever you have time. If you can come up with something better, we can also benefit from it, right? Hahaha..."

Meixiang held the tea bowl and looked at the people sitting in front of her one by one. Only she knew how much help these people had given her in the past few months. It was their joining that quietly resolved the panic she had when she first woke up and brought her enough sense of security.

Moreover, if they were not there, even if she was the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, she alone would not be able to achieve the current situation. Not to mention that there are more things to deal with later.
