Farming and Bend the National Husband

Throughout the afternoon, Xia Jiusheng searched the Internet for information on traditional Chinese medicine.

Most of the good traditional Chinese medicines grow in the depths of the inaccessible mountains, and the artificially planted ones are much less effective.However, this is not difficult for Xia Jiusheng. The space is already full of aura, and as long as it grows to a certain age, it will be more effective than wild medicine.

It's a pity that he doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine. Except for some commonly used ones, such as ginseng, wolfberry, fleece-flower root, dendrobium, and Tianqi, he knows their effects, and the others are just hearsay, and he doesn't know if eating them will cause problems, so Decided to try out some familiar tonic varieties.

Fortunately, online shopping is very convenient now. He found a website with a full range of products and placed an order.

One bag of ginseng seeds, one hundred wolfberry seedlings, ten kilograms of Polygonum multiflorum seedlings, one kilogram of fresh dendrobium candidum, and some miscellaneous others.

After finishing these things, I saw that the time had reached 04:30, so I went downstairs.

Mom was sitting in the living room watching TV. There was a plate of grapes and a plate of strawberries on the sofa cabinet, and of course a box of tissues.Recently, she has become obsessed with Korean dramas. Recently, she is watching something called "You Who Came from the Star". Whenever she has free time, she will follow it.

Xia Jiusheng glanced at his mother who was wiping the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and without disturbing her, went to the drain in the backyard alone and sat down on a big rock.

This stone was brought back by Father Xia from the ditch in front of the village. There are many such pebbles over there, in various colors, and some even have the luster of jade on the surface, but unfortunately they are not worth much. So no one picked it up.

Placing a few big stones by the side of the gutter in this way seems to have a lot of flavor.

Xia Jiusheng felt that his father was said to be dull, but in fact he didn't understand him.

There must be a romantic factor in Dad's heart, but he has been forced by life before, and it has been obliterated. Now that the family is better, Dad has begun to pay attention to the quality of life.

Since the drainage ditch has been dug wide and deep, it has become more and more like a real river.Xia Jiusheng looked at all kinds of fish in the water, swimming around leisurely, and his mood also became happier. Unfortunately, this is the countryside, not a private villa, otherwise it would be good to buy some beautiful ornamental fish here, and feed the fish if there is nothing to do way of pastime.

Walking along the gutter, there are so many fish in it, white striped carp, crucian carp, carp, grass carp and bighead carp are easily seen.Xia Jiusheng even saw a grass carp weighing more than a catty.This had to make him wonder whether it was because the water quality here was good that the fish in the reservoir came here upstream.

Of course, he would not refuse the fish he delivered to his door, but it is a pity that it is almost winter, otherwise it would be good to plant some lotus roots, horseshoes and so on in the ditch.There are too few aquatic plants in the water, and there are so many fish, there is not enough food. It seems that we have to find some food to feed them.

He always felt that the water plants in the gutters really had the taste of the river.

"Brother, brother." An An came back from school, and as soon as she put down her schoolbag, she looked for her brother all over the world.

Xia Jiusheng responded in the backyard, and saw An An rushing over from the house and pounced on him. Wenwen and Qiqi behind him also rushed over, wagging their tails around him. .

"School is over? Are you tired?" Xia Jiusheng put his arms around his brother who was leaning over, and patted the back of his head. "What do you want to eat tonight, brother will make it for you."

"I want to eat fish." An An glanced at the fish swimming in the ditch, swallowed like a greedy cat, rubbed her brother's chest embarrassingly, and said, "The roasted crucian carp with green onions and The braised carp is delicious, and the fried white strips are also delicious—"

"That night I will eat fish." Xia Jiusheng replied with a smile. "You go and get a washbasin, and I'll get a dustpan to catch fish."

"Yeah." An An responded, and quickly ran to the kitchen to get the washbasin.

It was too easy to fish in such a ditch. Not long after, Xia Jiusheng caught a few crucian carp. He thought it was enough for dinner, so he stopped catching them and went to catch white striped carp and carp.

Suddenly hearing a plop, Xia Jiusheng turned his head and saw two dogs flopping in the ditch behind him. Xia Jiusheng thought they had accidentally fallen into the river, and was about to go over to catch them, when he suddenly saw Wen Wen paddling into the water with his paws outstretched. One jumped forward, bit a carp in one bite, turned around and swam towards the shore, jumped ashore, let go of his mouth, and threw the fish in front of An An.

Can the puppy catch fish?

Xia Jiusheng stood there blankly, looking at the carp that was still jumping in front of An An, a little messy.

An An threw the fish into the basin, reached out and rubbed Wen Wen's head, Wen Wen rubbed it comfortably on An An's hand, shook the water off his head, opened his mouth and jumped into the water again, to catch the fish , Qiqi also caught a fish, jumped ashore, and put the fish in front of An An.

"An'an, you taught them to catch fish?" Xia Jiusheng asked uncertainly as he watched his younger brother skillfully throw the fish into the basin.

"Well. I thought they were very smart, so I taught them, but I didn't expect them to learn it all." An An looked at his brother's surprised expression, a little shy and a little proud, and his little face blushed. "But it's the first time I've seen them catch fish."

"Then what else do you teach them?" Xia Jiusheng also forgot to catch fish at this time, and stood by the river with his younger brother, watching two half-sized dogs swimming around in the water, trying hard to catch fish.

"Teach them to climb trees, jump high, walk on two feet, and do somersaults—" An An tilted her head and said the same thing.

"Did you learn it from TV?" Xia Jiusheng remembered that this program was shown on TV some time ago. An expert in dog training trained his family's miniature dogs into life assistants, who could help the owner with many chores. Unexpectedly, An An Also secretly teaching dogs these things.

"Hmm." An An nodded shyly.

"An An is really amazing, he actually taught dogs to be so capable." Xia Jiusheng didn't expect An An to have this hobby, and he has been training dogs in private.I knew that he would take two miniature dogs out of the space and let An An play with them.

Wenwen and Qiqi are Dalmatians, they are tall and big when they grow up, and their duty is to guard the house and yard, and they are not suitable for those cute movements.Climbing trees, jumping high, and walking on two feet are what mini dogs learn.

However, he didn't tell his younger brother about these thoughts. An An was still young, so it was impossible for him to think so thoughtfully.

Hearing her brother praise herself, An An squinted her eyes happily.

That evening, the village party secretary came to Xia Jiusheng's house again.Said to buy more vegetables to entertain tomorrow's distinguished guests.

It turns out that the mayor of Zhangtang Town will organize a team to come to Xiajiazhuang tomorrow to investigate and guide the development of the village.As the village party secretary, it is natural to prepare some food to entertain the leaders from above.The vegetables of Xia Jiusheng's family are top-notch, and they must not be missing.

Xia Jiusheng was a little annoyed with him. Xiajiazhuang hadn't changed all these years, and it definitely had something to do with the village party secretary. This person had no ability to lead the villagers to get rich, and only wanted to make money for himself.

Xia's father was not at home, so Xia's mother went to the backyard to cut a few catties of vegetables and handed them to the village party secretary. She and Xia's father have been in the countryside, and they are used to these officials who eat and ask for cards. Fortunately, the vegetables are grown by themselves, so they are not worth it A few dollars, so I didn't take it to heart.

"Jiu Sheng, what are your plans after the next year, continue to grow vegetables or go back to school for tutoring?" Xia Guoqing took the vegetables and did not leave immediately, sitting in the living room, looking at the wall much bigger than his 40-inch LCD TV screen, asked with a smile.

"I haven't figured it out yet—" Xia Jiusheng replied shyly. "Maybe go to tutoring."

Although I was annoyed by this person in my heart, I couldn't show it at all on my face.

We are in the same village, and we can't tear ourselves apart casually, not to mention that the county management is not as good as the current management, he has long understood this truth.

"Well, a boy must be self-motivated, and he will be successful in the future if he takes a good university entrance exam." Xia Guoqing encouraged him. "No matter how well you grow vegetables, you will be a rural person after all, and will be looked down upon by city people."

"My grandma taught me the same way." Xia Jiusheng smiled embarrassedly.

"Your grandma is right. You can just leave it to your parents to grow vegetables. They are used to it in the countryside, and they can't find anything to do in the city." Xia Guoqing's face became more sincere, and he patted him lovingly. Xia Jiusheng's shoulder, "But you are different, you have a bright future."

"It's not as good as you said!" Xia Jiusheng seemed ashamed by his praise. "If I can go to university, I will be satisfied."

"How come? You are so smart and capable, which young people in the village can compare to you?" Xia Guoqing continued to indulge in the soup: "Look at you, you went to work in the city to earn money when you were young, and now you can grow vegetables when you go home. Making money, whose child has this ability!"

"Brother Guoqing, don't praise him like that." Mother Xia came over with a cup of tea. "No matter how capable he is, he is comparable to your family Zu Guang? Zu Guang is a cadre of the Municipal Education Bureau, and he eats at the public house!"

Xia Zuguang is Xia Guoqing's only son. He is in his early thirties and graduated from the Normal University in the provincial capital. He used to work as a language teacher at No. [-] Primary School in Yucheng City. Later, he was picked up by the leaders of the Education Bureau and transferred to the office.

It is said that Xia Zuguang's father-in-law was the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, so he was promoted.

Regarding this point, no one would care about it, and the rural people would only be more envious. To be able to climb such a high-ranking relative, it was because the ancestral grave of Xia Guoqing's family was smoking.

"What's the matter with eating at the public house? In my opinion, Jiu Sheng is much better than my family's Zu Guang—" Xia Guoqing said seriously. "Why? Don't believe me? How about your Jiusheng being my godson and my Zuguang being your godson?"

"How can this be so high?" Hearing what he said, Xia's mother stood up, rubbed her hands, and shook her head again and again.

She is an honest person, and she feels that her family is too far behind the village party secretary, and it is too high to be a relative. "Thank you, Brother Guoqing, for being considerate. This really makes it impossible to—"

Xia Jiusheng hadn't figured it out until now, and now he finally understood the purpose of the village party secretary talking so affectionately with him.After walking around for a long time, it turned out that he was interested in himself and his own vegetable business.

He stood up and said solemnly: "Thank you, Uncle National Day, for looking up to me so much—but you also said that boys must be self-motivated. I don't have any grades now. It's too early to say this. If next year I really After entering the university, how about we talk about it at that time?"

Xia Guoqing saw Xia Jiusheng's solemn face without a trace of a smile, and the smile froze on his face. He had counted countless possibilities, but he never thought that Xia Jiusheng would give him such an answer.Now he is like climbing a ladder to the wall, and the ladder below has been taken away again, and he can't go up or down, which is extremely embarrassing.

But he is an old fox after all. He laughed dryly, gave Xia Jiusheng a thumbs up, and praised Xia Jiusheng: "Okay, he is indeed the person I like. He has ambition, so let's talk about it next year."

"Let's talk next year." Xia Jiusheng returned to his sincere smile. "I hope my uncle won't dislike me next year—"

"How could it be?" Xia Guoqing didn't have the face to sit down again. He patted his buttocks and stood up, picked up the vegetables at his feet, and said pretendingly: "It's getting late, I have to go back to eat, Jiusheng, remember us promise!"

"Well, Uncle, go slowly." Xia Jiusheng and his mother walked to the door together.

Back in the house, Xia's mother looked at her son's livid face and asked strangely, "Yangyang, what's wrong?"

"That old fox, I'm afraid he's taken a fancy to my vegetable business and wants to make trouble—" Xia Jiusheng said bitterly.

"What?" Mama Xia was surprised.

She's not stupid, but she didn't think about it at the beginning. Now that she heard what her son said and thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and immediately scolded angrily: "This short-lived ghost, why has he been intoxicated just now? It's singing this good show!"

"The village cadres will be re-elected in the second half of the year. I think I have to find a way to get rid of this person, otherwise my family will have no peace—" Xia Jiusheng frowned and muttered to himself.

He is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves thinking about it. Now that he has made some money by growing vegetables, he wants to eat and get some, so he can afford to lose. If he misses his own business, there will be endless troubles.

"How can it be so easy, he has a good relationship with the higher-ups!" Mama Xia said discouragedly. "If I had known that he was interested in this, I wouldn't have given him the food and flattered the higher authorities with things from my house. Didn't I hurt myself?"

"It doesn't matter. He has a good relationship with the higher-ups. It doesn't mean that other people must have no relationship with the higher-ups." Xia Jiusheng believes that there must be someone in the village who has already been active on the top. After all, there is only one seat, and there can't be only one person who wants to sit.

You only need to use your strength to fight at the right time.
