Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

Two of them had spots on their bodies, like deer jumping in the woods; the other one was completely black, and its eyes seemed to hide the sea of ​​stars.

At first glance, you can guess that the cat daddy is undoubtedly the clever and lively calico cat.

Qiu Ju's technique is equally delicate and gentle. She picks up each kitten gently and puts them carefully into the basket, just like she would treat the most delicate flowers in the world. Every movement is full of awe and care for life.

"Xiao Hui is such a capable and good mother. She brought the children into this world quietly."

Zhang Wuya secretly admired in her heart, and at the same time silently planned to cook a sumptuous meal for Xiao Hui after returning home - chicken breast with golden egg yolks, so that this new mother could recover her strength as soon as possible.

As soon as they heard the word "eat", the two dogs in the family - Black Panther and Yellow Ball - became excited. They wagged their tails like windmills and followed people closely. Their eager looks made people laugh.

Zhang Wuya smiled and patted their heads, her eyes smiling but slightly helpless: "Xiao Hui has become a mother today, she needs to eat something good to replenish her body. What are you two grown men meddling in this? You are not 'mothers' after all."

The words were full of love and teasing for the pets at home.

The group returned to their cozy little villa, and Xu Liyun carefully built a temporary home for the five kittens.

In order to ensure that Xiao Hui would not recognize the kittens because she had touched them before, she took out a cloth pad that the kittens had once lain on and rubbed it gently against Xiao Hui to convey that familiar scent.

"Okay, let's go and don't disturb their rest anymore."

After everything was arranged, Xu Liyun gently urged the children to leave, asking them to give Xiaohui's family enough peace and quiet.

Xiao Youniang's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and her words were full of visions for the future: "Xiao Hui is an excellent mouse catcher. Now that we have his cubs, our yard will be safer in the future. Maybe we can also raise a few more in Niu Shangpo to expand our 'cat guard'."

"You guys keep mentioning Niu Shangpo. When will the construction start there? I can't wait."

Zhang Ming leaned back in a rattan chair, casually opening a bag of spicy strips and asked.

"It has been raining for the past few days. I thought yesterday would be a good day so I could go and have a look, but in the end I didn't make the trip. However, I think it should be soon. My mother has already agreed to build a house there first, so it shouldn't be delayed for too long."

There was a hint of anticipation in Zhang Wuya's voice.

Afterwards, Zhang Wuya turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare a nutritious meal for Xiao Hui. Xiao Youniang, who had developed a strong interest in those little lives, followed in, ready to learn how to take care of these newborn lives.

Just at this moment, the steady footsteps of Grandpa Zhang were heard outside the door. He had just returned from working in the fields, and the smell of soil on his body was mixed with the joy of harvest.

"Wu Ya, have you bought the corn seeds? I plan to go to Village Chief Zhang to discuss planting today."

"Sister, you take care of Xiao Hui's diet first. I'll go buy some seeds."

Xiao Youniang took the initiative to take on this task.

Not long after, Xiao Youniang came back with ten kilograms of heavy corn seeds. Grandpa Zhang immediately picked up the small sack and walked straight to the house of Village Chief Zhang with firm steps.

Coincidentally, the village chief was busy in the vegetable garden in front of his house. When he saw Grandpa Zhang coming, he immediately put down the hoe in his hand and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Village Chief Zhang, I have something to discuss with you. This is the seed I brought from my hometown when I was fleeing. It's called corn. I heard that one acre of land can produce 500 kilograms of grain!"

As he spoke, Grandpa Zhang followed Village Chief Zhang into the house and found a place to sit down.

"One acre of land can produce 500 kilograms? Old man, are you serious?"

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Zhang's hands trembled as he poured the tea. He quickly wiped his hands on his lapel, then opened the sack and grabbed a handful of golden corn kernels to examine them carefully.

Each of those corn kernels is plump and round, shining with the luster of a good harvest.

"I've never seen this kind of food before. Can it really be eaten?"

The village chief's eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.

"This corn is great. When it is just ripe, you can cook it and eat it directly. It is fresh and sweet. You can also use it to stew pork ribs. It is fragrant and sweet but not greasy. When it is fully ripe, you can grind it into cornmeal and make corn cakes, corn paste or steamed corn bread. More importantly, its yield is very high. In my hometown, people don't feel bad about using it to feed chickens and ducks."

Grandpa Zhang's words were so vivid that even the experienced village chief Zhang couldn't help but be attracted by the description and swallowed unconsciously.

"So, what you mean is..."

"We plan to start raising seedlings in the next few days. We naturally want to share such good food with our fellow villagers. So we brought these ten kilograms of high-quality corn seeds, and the second brother said they are all for you. We hope you can help spread the word. If anyone in the village is interested in planting, they can come to our house to buy seeds. The price is 15 cents per kilogram, so that we can recover some of the costs."

Grandpa Zhang's proposal was both sincere and practical, and obviously well thought out.

"Okay, okay, leave it to me. But how do we grow corn seedlings?"

Village chief Zhang had never planted it himself, so he naturally wanted to ask for clarification. After all, the Zhang family was a prestigious family in the village, so they would not speak without thinking.

He plans to first test the water on half an acre of his own land to see what the actual yield of the corn is.

"We will start raising seedlings tomorrow and will invite a few villagers to help. If Village Chief Zhang is free, he can come and see the whole process with his own eyes."

Grandpa Zhang smiled and stroked his beard, thinking that if this corn could be successfully promoted, it would be a great thing that would benefit the neighbors.

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, there was already a bustle of people in front of the Zhang family's soap workshop, which was converted from an old house.

A green vegetable field has been opened up on the open space around the workshop, which is full of vitality.

Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Laoer are busy instructing the villagers on how to mix fertilizers and carefully cultivate seedlings.

"Mix poultry manure with wood ash, and that's the best natural fertilizer."

They explained patiently, striving for accuracy in every step.

As the corn seeds were carefully buried under the fertile soil, Grandpa Zhang brought several buckets of homemade organic fertilizer and carefully watered the soil to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of the seedlings.

Finally, he laid down a tarp to prevent the temperature from dropping sharply at night and affecting the germination of the seeds.

"If you don't have a tarpaulin, you can use sacks at home to cover the plants, which will have the same effect. After about six or seven days, the seedlings will break through the soil, and then they can be transplanted into the fields."
