Farming and Bend the National Husband

After learning how to drive for several days, Xia Jiusheng finally mastered some tricks, and was able to sit in the driver's seat alone and drive on the road with trepidation.

Sitting next to him, Master Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that some people were born with no sense of machinery, and naturally they were slow to learn to drive, but most of them were women or older men. Unexpectedly, this man looked agile, sunny and handsome. The boys actually have such a problem.

Xia Jiusheng smiled embarrassingly, he also didn't understand what was going on with him.

Under the guidance of Master Chen, my cousin Xia Jiuxing has passed all the tests and will get his driver's license in a few days.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and he also hopes that he can learn it quickly, get a driver's license and buy a car before the frost, so that he can send An An to school every day.

As for Xia's father and Xia's mother, they only came a few times, and the results are far from good. After all, Xia's father has dealt with machinery for more than ten years. After two days of fumbling with the car, he drove on the road alone. All straight.As for Xia's mother, she didn't even figure out every switch, and it was probably a long way off before she could learn to drive.

Or Dad Xia will be the first person in the family to get a driver's license, and he will be left to send An An to school.

That night, it rained heavily. Lying in bed, I heard the sound of rain hitting the roof, dense and urgent, which is rare in winter.

Xia Jiusheng got up when the sky was slightly bright. The rain had already stopped and the humidity outside was very heavy. Xia Jiusheng put on his rain boots and went to the chicken shed in the bamboo garden to watch the chickens.

The chickens all hid in the shed at night, but now they huddled together, and nothing happened. Looking at the roof of the shed, there was no water leakage, Xia Jiusong heaved a sigh of relief.

Wenwen and Qiqi, who were watching there at night, saw Xia Jiusheng, rushed over wagging their tails, and rubbed their bodies affectionately on his legs.Xia Jiusheng squatted down happily, reached out and touched their heads respectively, giving them a silent affirmation.

The two dogs have been at Xia Jiusheng's house for almost three months. It may be because they often eat food that is full of spiritual energy. They look taller and stronger than ordinary Dalmatians. Now they both weigh more than 50 catties. They look naive. Xia Jiusheng Knowing that this is just a superficial appearance, it is actually very fierce. A few days ago, a ferocious native dog who came with a child from the same village was threatened by Wenwen grinning his teeth, and fled in fright, never daring to come to the door again. .

After leaving the bamboo garden, Xia Jiusheng ran to the backyard to check it out. After all, it was windy and rainy last night, so he was worried that something might happen to the greenhouse.

Fortunately, the greenhouse was built very firmly, it was not blown down by the strong wind, and the outer film was not lifted by the strong wind, Xia Jiusheng felt relieved.

There was a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground in the backyard, and the gutter was full of water. Some fish kept jumping around on the water surface, and some even jumped to the ground.

Xia Jiusheng picked up the fish that had jumped to the ground, threw the alive ones back into the water, and put the dying ones in a washbasin, and today they can eat fish again.

There are obviously a lot more fish in the water. It seems that there were a lot of fish again yesterday. They migrated here from the reservoir while the rain was full. Xia Jiusheng was both happy and worried. This ditch is still too small, so many fish are crowded , There must be insufficient oxygen, no wonder some jumped out of the water.

When the weather clears, the situation in the water will probably be even worse. Many fish will float their heads due to lack of oxygen, and some will even suffocate to death.

what to do?Xia Jiusheng scratched his head.

Suddenly, I noticed that there was only a distance of two meters between this ditch and that pond. Why not dig it through to the pond, so that the number of fish can be freely adjusted.

As soon as he said it, Xia Jiusheng took a shovel, avoided the greenhouse, and dug a ditch more than two feet wide in the gap between the sheds. The drainage ditch itself is higher than the pond. After digging, the water flows into the pond. Fish farming is convenient, and drainage is also much more convenient.

Soon, more than half of the water and fish in the ditch were reduced. Xia Jiusheng poured water from the space into the ditch again, and the gutter returned to its normal state.

The water quality in the pond was not as good as that in the ditch, so Xia Jiusheng had to add some space water to the pond. After thinking about it, the snails in the space also multiplied a lot, so they simply put them in the pond to feed the fish.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Jiusheng only left some snails and snails as seeds in the space, and dumped all the others into the pond.

The loach seedlings and rice field eel seedlings I saw last time in the space are now so big that chopsticks are thick. After thinking about it, Xia Jiusheng took half of them out and raised them in the pond.

In fact, there are still very few fish in the pond, but when they grow up, they can take shape.

Back in the front yard, he found that the fruit tree had been blown upside down. Xia Jiusheng found a few pieces of wood with the thickness of an arm, sharpened one end, and knocked it into the ground next to the fruit tree. The wind will not blow down the fruit trees.

After breakfast and seeing off the container truck from the National University, Xia Jiusheng and his parents tidied up the vegetable field, replanted seedlings, and went back to the house.

The fish picked up in the morning was almost half a washbasin, and I ate too much at home. Xia Jiusheng picked some evenly sized fish, put them in a plastic bucket, and filled half a basket of vegetables, carrying them to the uncle's house.

Uncle's house, uncle, aunt and grandparents are all there, sitting in the main room at the moment, seeming to be discussing something.

Seeing Xia Jiusheng go in, the eldest aunt stood up first, took the things from the nephew, and said with a smile: "Why did Yangyang bring us food again!"

Xia Jiusheng smiled and called everyone in the room.

The eldest aunt is kind-hearted and treats them all well, so brother Xia Jiusheng gets close to her.The uncle is also good, but he is not very good at expressing, and sometimes he seems difficult to approach.

On the contrary, grandparents are still indifferent to him.

Xia Jiusheng sometimes thinks that maybe in the eyes of others, his grandparents don’t like him because of superstition, believing that his brother was their enemy in the previous life, so they come to collect debts and torture his parents in this life, but Xia Jiusheng is more willing to believe that what they do is just Knowing that I have to live with the eldest and the youngest, so I am indifferent to the second child's family, so the eldest and the youngest will take care of them more wholeheartedly!

Otherwise, would the child who was also born by oneself really not love at all?

For the old man's thoughts, Xia Jiusheng only felt chilled, so he was more willing to protect his family and not let them suffer any grievances.

"Yangyang, sit down. It's thanks to you that Brother Jiuxing got his driver's license so quickly this time." The uncle said gratefully.

"That's because I have my own skills. Look at me. After a few days of learning, I still only dare to drive in the grain drying field and dare not go on the road." Xia Jiusheng sat down and laughed at himself.

"What can he do." The uncle curled his lips disapprovingly. "The main reason is that the master is kind, responsible and willing to help. I heard about other driving school masters, but no matter what, you give gifts, others will force you to help you—"

"Then I have to learn quickly." Xia Jiusheng still didn't want to take the credit.

"You, even if you help someone, you still refuse to admit it." The uncle was not confused. "Back when your cousin Jiuqiang went to learn to drive, she spent 7000 yuan before and after, and it took nearly half a year to get her driver's license. Your brother learned to drive this time without spending a penny, and he could get it in less than a month. Driver's license, uncle knows it's all because of you."

"We are our own people. Uncle, why are you being so polite?" Xia Jiusheng couldn't sit still when he was said like this.

"That's right, why are you being polite?" Grandma suddenly interjected.

"Brother Jiuxing, let's go to work." Xia Jiusheng choked on his grandmother's words, paused, and changed the subject.

My cousin Xia Jiuxing had a job a few days ago. He worked as a recruitment assistant in the human resources department of a telecommunications company in Yucheng City. He was also introduced by my uncle. The salary and benefits were good, and Xia Jiuxing's family was very satisfied.

"Yes, I went to work early in the morning." The son finally found such a satisfying job, and the aunt couldn't hide her joy.

"Brother Jiuxing is a talented student, so it's not surprising that he has a good job." Xia Jiusheng was a little surprised when he heard that his cousin left home every day to go to work in Yucheng. "He goes home to live every day, doesn't the company arrange a place to stay?"

"I heard that there will be housing arrangements in the future. There is not enough dormitory allocation for the time being. I have to find a place to live for a while." This is indeed a fly in the ointment, and the eldest aunt sighed.

"From here to Yucheng, it takes nearly two hours by car. Brother Jiuxing will have to work hard for a while." Xia Jiusheng took a breath.

In that kind of unit, I go to work at eight o'clock every day, that is to say, my cousin has to get up at six o'clock, which is really hard in winter.

"So Brother Jiuxing said he wanted to buy a car, but we didn't agree with it. The whole family is worrying about it." The uncle said helplessly.

"Oh." Xia Jiusheng responded casually, this is the uncle's family business, he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

"Boss, what do you want me to say about you? Jiuxing is a boy and works in the city. Parents must provide him with some necessary decency. If you don't pay, then take my coffin book and give it to him." He'll just buy a car—" the old lady said angrily.

"Mom, it's not that we don't buy it for him, it's that he is still young and has just started working, so he needs a lot of money." The uncle comforted: "After working for a few years, he has some savings and his life has stabilized." Now, wouldn’t it be better to buy then?”

"Then you just look at your son like this, going out early and returning late every day, don't you know how distressed you are?" the old lady said angrily.

"Why don't you feel bad, Mom, he is my son." The uncle still reasoned with the old lady in a good voice. "Lu Yuan, I'm afraid of hard work, so I can temporarily rent a house in Yucheng!"

"Don't you want your son to go home every day to accompany me, an old woman, so you wish he could live in the city, huh?" The old lady suddenly became annoyed, stood up and patted the table vigorously.

"Mom, calm down, Jianguo didn't mean that." The eldest aunt quickly stood up, walked to the old lady's back and gave her some relief.

Xia Jiusheng secretly sighed.

No wonder my mother said that the family would have no peace when the old lady came home. I was young and didn't quite understand it, but now I really understand what my mother means.

Under the coercion of the old lady, the uncle finally had to agree to take out the money and buy his son a commercial vehicle in the early [-] yuan.

※※※

When I got home and told my parents about this, Xia's mother was silent for a while, and said, "You can also buy a car. Anyway, your uncle's family has saved a lot of money and can afford it."

"We'll buy one when Dad gets his driver's license." Xia Jiusheng smiled and leaned on his mother's back.

"No, you have to save the money first. If you want to buy a car, there is no door." Xia's mother turned her head and stared at the two of them.

"Why save money!" Xia Jiusheng said with a smile: "We now have an income of more than [-] yuan a month, which is more than enough to buy a car worth more than [-] yuan. After the Chinese New Year, we will save it for three or four months. When the weather improves in May, Demolish this house and build a beautiful villa. When these things are settled, we will have no other big expenses and can save money with peace of mind."

"You have the ability to spend so much money without blinking your eyes." Xia's mother thought for a while and refused, "I don't agree."

"Mom." Xia Jiusheng rubbed her. "It's useless to save money. At worst, we should work harder and earn an extra [-] yuan to buy a car."

"It's easy for you to say, how can money be so easy to earn!" Mama Xia snorted.

"You still don't believe your son's originality!" Xia Jiusheng sat down next to his mother with a playful smile. "You must have never counted. The chickens raised in the bamboo garden alone can be sold for at least 200 yuan, and there are more than one hundred thousand here. The fish in the ditch weigh a few thousand catties at least. Now I have opened up the pond. When it’s Chinese New Year, if all the fish are caught, it’s no problem to sell them for [-] to [-].”

"It's useless to say it now, we'll talk about it after you sell the money." Mama Xia still didn't let go.

"Well, we've made a deal." Xia Jiusheng smiled and gave his mother a high-five, and it was agreed.

※※※

That morning, Xia's father and Xia's mother went to the field, and Xia Jiusheng was busy in the space.

The ginseng seeds had already germinated and he planted them. Now they have grown into seedlings. There are more than 300 plants out of a pack of seeds.Lycium barbarum trees are one meter high and covered with tender green leaves. I heard that wolfberry leaves are a good thing. They can be eaten in soup and have the effects of improving eyesight and nourishing the liver. Pick some and give them to your family to taste.The vines of Polygonum multiflorum grow very fast, almost half a meter long, and it seems that they will be harvested before the Chinese New Year.Only Dendrobium seems to grow very slowly.

Of the two hundred chickens, most of them are laying eggs. Now Xia Jiusheng has one more thing to do in the space, which is to pick up eggs.In the past few days, I took some fried eggs for my family to eat. My parents thought that he bought them from somewhere, but they didn't doubt them. They just said that the eggs tasted good, and they were real local eggs.

But it’s only for the family to eat, and I can’t finish it every day, so I have to find a way to sell it. Fortunately, it will not spoil in two or three months if it is stored in the space.

It suddenly occurred to me that in more than a month, the Chinese New Year would be here. Before every year, relatives would send some special products as New Year gifts, and perhaps these eggs would be a good idea.

The small animals picked up have turned into big ones, and Xia Jiusheng can basically recognize their adult appearance.Most of them are dogs and cats. Xia Jiusheng is not very interested in these, so he didn't check online.

To Xia Jiusheng's surprise, there was a Tibetan mastiff inside, which made him a little embarrassed. This kind of dog is not convenient to keep in the countryside. If you accidentally bite someone, it will be troublesome.He knew that the Tibetan Mastiff was very ferocious, even a lion could kill it.

When I picked them up back then, I wanted to feed them and sell them for money, but now that I think about it, I’m still too naive. He couldn’t even recognize the species of animals when he was young, so he didn’t know who to sell them to. Now that they are adults, these animals are only with him. Get close, whether you sell it or give it away, you will probably come back.

Forget it, anyway, I can still afford it, so let them stay in the space first.

Xia Jiusheng feels that he is still young, and he does things too freely. Unlike other entrepreneurs, he has a complete and detailed plan after arriving in the countryside, but he thinks of where to do it. It can be said that it is completely foolish. If there is no such weapon as space , I guess I can't support myself.

It seems that I have to buy a few books to read, or go to other people's farms to learn from them, so as to plan my future business direction.

At noon, Xia Jiusheng came out of the space, went downstairs to the kitchen, and was about to make lunch, when he received a call from his second uncle, it turned out that something happened to his cousin.

An hour ago, my cousin Zhu Binyu came out of the town and rode a bicycle to go to the next village to instruct the planting of winter wheat. When he passed the old street of Zhangtang Town, he was blocked by several people in a secluded place. He asked the reason, and these people couldn’t help but say, Surrounded him, punched and kicked him, and then dispersed.

Zhu Binyu got up from the pain and found that his calf was so painful that he couldn't stand up. He called the police and then called the family. The police never came, but the second uncle arrived first. Seeing his son's appearance, he hurriedly sent him to the hospital.

After taking the radiograph, it was found that the left calf was fractured and the periosteum was torn, which required hospitalization.There are still many bruises and redness on the body, which is not a big problem, just take care of it.When such a thing happened at home, the second uncle naturally wanted to tell his close relatives.
