Farming and Bend the National Husband

Back home, I continued to dig the land that I hadn't finished in the morning. By the way, when it came to digging the drainage ditches wide and deep to raise fish, Xia's father and mother Xia didn't have any objections, anyway, he would do it if he wanted to try.

After working hard until evening, the whole family was so tired that their backs ached.Especially Xia's father, who has been staying in the factory all these years, rarely has the opportunity to hold a hoe all day, and his palms are blistered.When I touch the water, my heart hurts.

Xia Jiusheng still cooked the dinner. Although he was also very tired, he recovered as soon as he stopped and moved his body.

During the meal, Xia Jiusheng watched his father's hands struggling to pick up vegetables, and discussed with them whether to hire someone to do farm work.

As soon as Xia's mother heard that it would cost money, she objected, but she hesitated after hearing her son give him a calculation.

Xia's father did not support his son this time. He thought that today's hard work was only because of the five acres of open land. He usually cuts vegetables and grows vegetables.

The result of the discussion is that the rice will be rented out to others next year, and the vegetable field will continue to be grown by myself. If it is too busy, temporary workers will be hired to help.

At night, after his younger brother fell asleep, Xia Jiusheng went to the backyard alone, watered the newly planted vegetables, and then entered the space.

I was in a hurry during the day and didn’t notice it. Now I realize that the space has changed a lot. Several fruit trees have more than doubled in height. The grapes and kiwis in the vines, because there is no shelf, the vines are everywhere, and there are still trees under the vines. After producing countless bunches of grapes the size of soybeans, Xia Jiusheng realized his negligence, so he hurriedly went to the backyard to find some bamboo poles and ropes, and built a few sheds.

Settled the grapes and kiwi, watered the fruit trees, and picked some ripe strawberries.I went to the river to see the fish again. I didn't expect them to grow very fast. The biggest crucian carp weighed almost half a catty. It seems that the goal of eating fish during the Chinese New Year can be realized.

The next morning, Xia Jiusheng removed several fruit trees from the space before his parents got up.

After getting familiar with the space, he found that he had some special abilities, such as being able to control all the plants and animals inside at will. As long as he moved his mind, the fruit trees inside would be transferred out naturally.

It didn't take much effort, just dug several holes, planted an orange, a peach, a huanghuali, a bayberry, a cherry and an osmanthus tree.As for kiwi fruit and grapes, because there are too many vines to plant, we have to wait for the leaves to fall in winter, and then trim the branches and leaves before planting.

Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't say anything about what their son did. The front yard used to have rice in the sun, so it couldn't cover the sun, so no trees were planted. Now the rice is drying on the cement road, and the front yard looks empty instead.Plant some fruit trees as well.

When Xia Jiusheng was a child, he was very envious of his neighbors who had fruit trees. In summer and autumn, there were always fruits hanging on the branches.Uncle Zheng’s house closest to his house has a jujube tree that has been raised for decades. Every summer, it is heavily covered with dates. At that time, it was naughty and always hit it with a slingshot.

In fact, every time the jujubes are ripe, Uncle Zheng will send a basket to his family, but the child is greedy and can't wait until they are ripe.

After finishing these, I went back to the house and had breakfast, and the shopping cart from the National University of China was coming again.

Xia Jiusheng and his parents hurriedly went to the backyard to cut vegetables, and waited to send off the shopping cart from the National University. Xia Jiusheng didn't go with his parents to open the newly rented few acres of land and started digging drainage ditches.

The original ditch was less than two feet wide and more than one foot deep. Xia Jiusheng dug the ditch to a depth of one meter and a width of more than one meter.

Of course, the workload is a bit heavy, but fortunately, the soil is relatively loose, so digging is not too strenuous.Xia's father saw that his son was struggling, so he also stopped working there and came to help him.

After a hard day, the two finally dug the ditch.

That night, Xia Jiusheng moved most of the fish and snails in the space to the ditch, found some loach and eels in the ditch, and threw them into the water in the space.

※※※

The days passed like this day by day, because of the nourishment of the spiritual water in the space, the trees and vegetables in the front and back yards became more and more green and juicy, making people forget that it was already late autumn.

At the end of the month, Xia Jiusheng went to Yucheng to find the finance department of the National University to settle the vegetable payment.Originally thought that 10,000+ yuan required a bank transfer, but who knew that they took out more than ten bundles of RMB directly from the safe, took out more than ten bundles from a certain bundle, put all the rest in a black plastic bag, and handed it to Xia Jiusheng .

Xia Jiusheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it out. Instead, he tapped it in the bag. There were fifteen bundles in total, and one bundle was missing by more than 1000, which meant that there were more than 14 cash here.

Except in movies and TV shows, he had never seen so much cash in real life. Xia Jiusheng put the bag in the backpack behind his back, walked out of NUS in a daze, and went straight home by car.

When I got home, it was already evening, and my parents, An An, had already gone home, waiting for Xia Jiusheng to come back from Yucheng for dinner.Watching the son open the backpack, take out the money from the plastic bag, and pour it on the table, the whole family was dumbfounded.

The family has been poor for so long, and they have never been able to make ends meet. Except for [-] cash when they borrowed money from relatives, they have never held more than [-] in cash. Now they see such a pile of colorful banknotes , all earned by myself, that kind of joy and shock, like dreaming.

An An also took a stick in her hand, and was very happy.

After the trouble was enough, Mother Xia put the money back into the bag and hid it upstairs, saying that she would pay off the relatives' debts tomorrow.Of course, Xia Jiusheng has no objection. There is still a lot of money after repaying the debt, so he can consider building a vegetable greenhouse.

Now Mama Xia and Papa Xia have no objections. If they want to make money like this every month, then the supply of vegetables in winter cannot be stopped, and it is imperative to build a greenhouse.

It is now the end of November, relatively free, not to mention the recent weather is good, relatively sunny and dry, suitable for building a greenhouse, and the late rice will mature early next month, so everyone will be busy.

After dinner, Xia's father went to the village to ask for help from people he had a good relationship with, and called them all around. Except for a few people who couldn't come because they had something to do, everyone else agreed.

The next day Uncle Xia took the lead and went to the bamboo garden to cut moso bamboo. In addition to picking some whole bamboos of uniform thickness to make skeletons, he also cut bamboo slices to make arches and tie rods.Although none of them had experience in building a greenhouse, when Xia Jiusheng showed them the pictures of the bamboo-wood structure greenhouse, they quickly determined the materials and construction method.

Xia Jiusheng heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was only talking about the shed on paper, and he didn't know how to do it in detail.

He also found that almost all of the people who came here had bought vegetable seedlings from his house. It seemed that they also had selfish motives. If they succeeded in planting in their own greenhouses, they would also learn to do it.

With the efforts of more than a dozen strong laborers, bamboo and wood sheds were erected in the backyard of Xia Jiusheng's family in just three days.

Compared with greenhouses built with cement pillars and steel pipes, greenhouses with bamboo and wood structures are undoubtedly much smaller and have a shorter service life. The advantage is obvious, that is, it is cheap.The helpers are all from the village. As long as they take care of the wine and food, they basically don’t ask for wages, so after finishing the calculation, it only cost 3 yuan.

In the past three days, Xia Jiusheng went to the street to buy a lot of chicken, duck and fish. The vegetables were all harvested from his own farm, and everyone was very satisfied.Especially the dishes of Xia Jiusheng's family, it is hard to forget after tasting it. Every meal has to be filled with several plates to make everyone enjoy it.

They also couldn't figure out why the same method was used to grow vegetables, although they were better than those of other villages, but compared with Xia Jiusheng's, they were always worse than Xia Jiusheng's.

I also wondered if Xia Jiusheng's own seeds were different from the ones he sold to them, but after thinking about growing vegetables, his family's income had increased several times, and he felt a little more balanced.

Xia Jiusheng is willing to sell them the seedlings, it is already a favor, even if they don't sell them, what can he do?

※※※

After setting up the shed, Xia Jiusheng and Xia's father set up several huts in a corner of the bamboo garden, went to the town to buy [-] chicks, and raised them there.

It must be very difficult to raise chickens at this time, but Xia Jiusheng is confident that he has the spiritual water in the space and the vegetables grown in the space for food, and these chicks will definitely be able to feed them.

Xia Jiusheng checked the information and knew that chickens are easy to die because of several reasons, such as freezing to death, eating the wrong food, gastrointestinal disease, respiratory disease, and external factors, such as being bitten to death by cats, dogs, and weasels.Except for external factors that he was not sure about, he didn't think anything else was a problem.

Of course, he also bought [-] chicks privately, threw them into the space, found a corner where the vegetables had grown to half their size, and surrounded them in a circle.

Cut the moso bamboo in half, put it on the ground, and pour some water into the bamboo tube for the chicks to drink.Chop up the vegetable leaves every day and mix them with millet to feed them. It is exactly as he thought. Such chicks eat the vegetables and water in the space every day, and they are very energetic. quick.

He went to the seed store again and bought a lot of fruits and vegetables seeds. With the greenhouse, some fruits and vegetables that could not be grown before can be planted.

I like to eat cucumbers, buy them.My younger brother likes to eat ketchup, buy it.Mom likes to eat cantaloupe, buy it.Dad likes to eat broccoli, buy it.Anyway, Xia Jiusheng bought all the seeds he could buy.

It's a pity that there is not enough land, so we can only use a greenhouse to grow these. If there are two or three acres more, he will consider planting all the melons and fruits that his family likes to eat.

Because it was for his family to eat, he was willing to water it with space water, and the vines of these melons and fruits grew rapidly at a visible speed.

Of course, he didn't waste the seeds that couldn't be planted, and threw them into the space. There is only a little space there now, and it's too wasteful to be empty.

For some reason, with the increase of space crops, he found that the light inside was changing. It used to be very gray and dark, but now it gradually became brighter, and he could clearly see the scene inside.

That night, the family had just finished dinner when the uncle and aunt came to visit.

After a few digressions, the uncle said what he wanted to do.

It turned out that the old man and the old lady in Yongcheng were coming back tomorrow. After the younger brother informed him, they also came to tell the second child.As for the reason for coming back: the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a conflict.

It turned out that a few days ago, my uncle Xia Jianye's brother-in-law came to his door and asked him to introduce a job for his son. Although Xia Jianye's own ability is limited, he has a brother-in-law who works as the deputy director of the Land Management Department of the City Planning Bureau. I still have some face, so I helped introduce him to a large real estate company.

It was nothing at first, but when the old lady found out, she felt unhappy, complaining that the youngest son only cares about his wife's family, regardless of his own brothers, and his eldest nephew has graduated from college for three or four months, and has not If you find a job, you don't care about being an uncle, anyway, you've been nagging for a long time.

In the eyes of the old man, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood. Although they live with the youngest son, they still call frequently to care about the work of the eldest grandson Xia Jiuxing. After this incident, he took his anger out on his youngest son.

The youngest daughter-in-law was complaining from her mother-in-law, and her nephew was there, and she felt uncomfortable. She said that Jiuxing couldn't find a job because of her bad personality, bad profession, and lack of ability. Anyway, she didn't have a job because of He had his own problems, which made the old man furious and quarreled with his daughter-in-law.

In the end, the old man got angry and said that he would go back to his hometown to live with his eldest son, and go back to the countryside of Yucheng.

Uncle Xia Jianye tried to persuade him several times, but it didn't work, so he had to call his elder brother.

As the eldest son, eldest son Xia Jianguo, of course he couldn't refuse the old lady's wish, so he agreed.

Father Xia lowered his head and didn't make a sound. He knew that his family had never been liked by the old man and the old lady, so the two sons didn't even kiss their grandparents.

When the two old people come back, there must be more troubles in the future.

On the contrary, Xia's mother sighed: "Come back when you come back——"
