Come on!Foodie!

Xiaoyang's steamed food was well received by Comrade Da Zhuang and Mu Mu's shoes, so that Comrade Wang Erbao, who came back from the blind date with Da Hui in the afternoon, knew that he had missed a fresh delicacy, and almost beat his chest.As a result, Xiaoyang made the same meal again the next day. Fortunately, because it was fresh, he wouldn't feel bored after eating it for two days.

After digging the earth, the next thing I want to do is my own vegetable garden.However, because the area that can be planted in the old Zhu's house is really not that big, so Xiaoyang adopted Comrade Zhu Hai's previous opinion.A little bit of each seed is planted, and the value lies in the variety rather than the harvest quantity of a single product.For the remaining half of the seeds, the common ones were mixed in the ground, and there were some rare ones. After discussion, the two decided to occupy the private plot in the old Wang's yard.And the ones planted in Erbao's house are reserved for eating first.

Of course, this proposal was highly recognized by Brother Erbao and Mumu Children's Shoes.Firstly, most things are familiar to everyone, and secondly, the two families are almost as close as one family, so there is no need to worry about it.The most important thing is to have fresh food. How can Comrade Wang Erbao have rebuttal opinions?Anyway, my daughter-in-law is happy, my brother's daughter-in-law is happy, and I can satisfy my appetite. There is nothing better than this.

Because it is planted in my own yard, it takes a few days earlier than in the ground.After turning over the ground again, Zhu Hai said that it was time to sow seeds.Of course, this kind of technical work is handed over to the main labor force who is familiar with farming. What Xiaoyang is responsible for is to observe and learn from the side, helping at any time, and then learn some experience from it, so that he can do it himself in the coming year.Zhu Hai can't do all the work outside the house by himself.Although he is married, he is a big man after all!Doing food and waiting to die is definitely not Xiaoyang's character.

But it is undeniable that an overly comfortable life will breed people's laziness.Of course Yang Xiaoyang is no exception.

For example, now he is used to being "served" by Big Brother when he takes a bath, and for example, when he wakes up in the morning, Comrade Da Zhuang basically bears the food for the poultry at home, although occasionally he will rush to do it when he wakes up early , but the premise is that he has not been "destroyed" the night before and is full of energy.Everyone understands this.The "laziness" of Xiaoyang's children's shoes actually has a lot to do with the "diligence" of Comrade Da Zhuang.So the former has no guilt, and the latter is willing and even happy.After all, this is definitely a harmonious life!

Pulled out all the leek roots from the wooden box at the back door of the outhouse, and replanted the thick and wide-leaf leek seeds he brought. While watering, Xiaoyang asked: "Brother Zhu, what do you think?" Can it grow like this?"

While scooping hot water into the basin, Zhu Hai replied, "Of course I can. It's okay, leeks are solid."

"That's true. Whether we have good soil or water here, there should be no problem." I just don't know if the taste of the leeks grown here can be as strong as the fine leeks here.If so, it would be useful to keep the seeds.If not, just eat it up and pull it down.

Bringing the basin to Xiaoyang, Zhu Hai took his daughter-in-law's hand: "Hurry up and wash your hands, it's as black as a pig's trotter!"

No matter how Zhu Hai rubbed his hands, Xiaoyang enjoyed it: "What's wrong with the pig's trotters? Didn't you eat the braised pig's trotters so much that you wanted to crush the bones?"

Zhu Hai smiled and said, "That's not because your cooking is delicious. You see, I'm hungry again when you say that."

Xiao Yang pouted: "If you're hungry, go to the city to collect chicken feet in the afternoon. It's cheap, and you can't eat it if you make too much. By the way, let's go buy two grape seedlings by the way."

Zhu Hai nodded: "Success. I'll go to Lao Niu's house to borrow a car later."

Speaking of the car, Xiao Yang sighed: "Why does it take so long for a donkey to conceive, unlike our old sow, who can give birth twice a year."

Zhu Hai laughed: "Silly daughter-in-law, one donkey can pay four pigs' money, and it can pull a cart and farm land. How can it compare with an old sow!"

"That's true. Speaking of which, Dahui is definitely an advanced worker!" It's a lot of hard work to undertake the physical and physical labor of the two families!

"Advanced worker?" Touching the meaning of Xiao Yang's words, Zhu Hai immediately opened his mouth: "Is this a word from your hometown again? It's really appropriate!"

Xiaoyang's head was full of black lines. "Stop talking about this. You can borrow a car, and I'll make lunch. Let's go after eating."

Sighing, it became warmer and warmer, and the thick cotton coat on her body began to gradually decrease.It was at this time that the villagers began to cultivate the land and sow seeds one after another.

It is hard work when plowing the land, and it is even harder when the land is cultivated.But for a year's livelihood, everyone's faces are filled with smiles.

This kind of life of working from sunrise to sunset makes Xiaoyang feel very satisfied and fulfilled.From the beginning of farming, Xiaoyang, who feeds the poultry and livestock at home, has been taken over by himself.Three meals a day, every meal is delicious and delicious.Because farming is in a hurry, both Zhu Hai and Wang Erbao have to work on their own land first.After all, cultivating four acres of land purely manually is really busy for a person.What's more, the two families now have an extra two acres. Although they both have more people, but at present, it seems that they are all newbies who have to observe first and then simply operate.If you want not to delay things, you can only let them do some simple tasks.Even for the work of supporting the plow, Xiaoyang and Mumu could only do it after two days of practice.

Of course, such things as work are more proficient, and the more proficient, the better and faster.Although Xiao Yang felt sore and sore in his waist and legs every night, even after running a hot bath, he was as tired as he was, and his hands were sore from the beginning to a thin layer of calluses at the end.But his mood is joyful.

What made him the happiest was not that he had learned a lot of farm work and could cultivate the land under his name by himself.It's that he's grown up.Compared with the line drawn on the door frame after coming here, it is about three centimeters higher!In other words, Xiaoyang is finally a little over 1.6 meters!To him, this was even happier than getting ten taels of silver.But according to his personality, if it was 100 taels, he would definitely feel happier with Yinzi...

Touching the little lamb who was cheering for its growth, Da Zhuang laughed: "Yeah. It's growing pretty fast."

Xiao Yang raised her neck: "That's right! At least I want to grow back to my original height!" It must be at least 1.7 meters!This is a matter of principle, a matter of principle! !

This kind of thing is not up to you.Zhu Hai laughed at his daughter-in-law's remarks: "That's right. Maybe she can be taller than me."

Xiao Yang pouted: "I don't care about being so tall! But at least it should reach your shoulders!" This way it won't look too uncoordinated.After all, they are two men!This is a matter of dignity, a matter of dignity!

After hearing this, Zhu Hai rolled his eyes immediately: "Oh! You want to grow up because of the effort of kissing me?" He said very seriously.

Xiao Yang slapped Comrade Da Zhuang's shoulder with a slap: "Go away!"

In between busy farming, Zhu Hai took Xiaoyang, and Xiaoyang took the seeds to Niu Jincheng's house in Xishan Col.

This is actually the first time that Xiaoyang has personally visited a building in the mountains.So besides being curious, he was also very excited.It's almost like taking time out to travel while you're busy at work.Although his purpose of coming this time is not to play.

Niu Jincheng's house is not as "wild" as Xiaoyang thought.Basically, it is similar to the housing in the village.It's just that there is an extra layer of fence on the wall, which should prevent wild animals from entering.Thinking that there might be wild beasts in the forest, Xiao Yang trembled a little.Is it safe or not?This is a big problem.I heard that wild boars can still be found on the mountain every year.Brother Niu lives here alone, it's really not very safe!

But soon he dispelled his worries, because Zhu Hai led him to the door while telling him to read the warnings of those animal traps.Moreover, he also found a dead pheasant caught in the animal trap at the foot of the east wall.It seems that this is not only a good way to guard against wild animals, but also a good way to fight teeth once in a while!Now he is really envious of Niu Jincheng's precious land!

Zhu Hai unloaded the pheasant, then reset the trap, and then went to the door and knocked.Before they came, they had already confirmed that Niu Jincheng had returned to the col, so there was no need to worry that there was no one in the yard.

Sure enough, someone in the yard asked: "Here we come! Wait a minute!" The voice was an adult man, but it was obviously not Niu Jincheng.This made Zhu Hai and Xiao Yang a little confused.

The door opened, and the person standing inside the door was indeed not Niu Jincheng.They are slightly shorter than Zhu Hai, and it is almost impossible to notice them if they are not standing side by side.Although it looks like he is dressed like a farmer, but judging from his face and demeanor, Xiao Yang doesn't believe that this man is a farmer.

"You two are from Niuzhuang, right?" The person at the door glanced at Zhu Hai and Xiao Yang, nodded with a smile, and let them into the courtyard.

Zhu Hai replied: "We are from Niuzhuang. Excuse me, is Brother Niu there?" Of course, his eyes did not leave the man who opened the door.He can be sure that this person is not from Niuzhuang or even a nearby village, he has never even seen it in the city.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Niu Jincheng replied inside: "I'm here. Da Zhuang and Xiao Yang, please come inside!"

After being introduced, Xiaoyang and Zhu Hai learned that the man who opened the door was surnamed Tian, ​​his double name was Jingyan, and he was from the provincial capital "Jingchuntang" to deliver the seeds.

Originally, Xiaoyang heard from Zhu Hai that Niu Erge didn't want to be with him in the village, and he didn't want to listen to gossip and see pity from others.So I got my own fields in the col, planted some herbs and sold them to pharmacies to make money.But he didn't know that Niu Jincheng's trading of medicinal materials had actually reached the provincial capital.They not only deliver medicine seeds to the door, but also bring them to train and plant them by themselves, and they also recycle the finished products by the way.There is still such a good thing in the world. If this thing happened in modern times, how many people would be envious and jealous!Even here, I am afraid that if everyone in the village knows about it, there will be a lot of people chewing their tongues.It seems that entering the mountains also has the benefits of entering the mountains!

Anyway, there are only four kinds of melons, and Xiao Yang doesn't think there is anything worth avoiding. "Brother Niu, Brother Zhu and I are here this time to ask you something."

Niu Jincheng nodded with a smile.He admired Xiaoyang very much.Of course, this includes the praise of my sister-in-law, as well as unforgettable delicacies every time. "Fellows from the village, our two families know each other so well, there is no need to say polite words like please. If there is anything I can help, I will definitely help."

Da Zhuang said at this time: "It's like this. When Xiao Yang came, he brought some special seeds from his hometown. We want to try planting them here. You also know that his land tax has been too high these three years , so I can't plant them in his field, and my field can't grow things that consume space, so I want to plant these few seeds in the mountains, which are near the second brother's house. When you are free, show me two Eye."

Since it is a specialty seed in the hometown, it is naturally not available locally.Tian Jingyan became interested as soon as he heard it: "Oh? I don't know what kind of seed it is?"

Seeing that the owner surnamed Tian looked so familiar, Xiao Yang felt that he must have overlooked something important.But the answer still has to be said: "It's nothing new. It's watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin and winter melon."

"I know watermelon and winter melon. But I've never heard of cantaloupe and pumpkin." Tian Jingyan looked like Niu Shishu, with a smile on his face.

Niu Jincheng's eyes did not fall on Tian Jingyan at all, he was really curious about these melons: "Watermelons are all grown in the south, can we grow them here?"

Xiao Yang nodded immediately: "Yes, yes. The weather here is similar to my hometown. These seeds can definitely be planted. Anyway, I want to try it. I plant it if I can plant it, and forget it if I can't. That's why I don't want to waste the cultivated land. Second brother It should be possible to grow it nearby, right?"

Niu Jincheng nodded: "Of course. Anyway, we will start planting medicine recently. If you don't worry about us doing it, put down the good seeds and I will plant them on the edge of the field."

Tian Jingyan quite agreed with this move: "This is a good thing. Why don't we set aside an acre of land to plant these melons, and if we really want to grow them, we can eat fresh watermelons in the summer in the future. That is comparable to those brought in from the south. Those half-cooked melons are much more delicious! Maybe it’s a good way to make a fortune!”
