Happy Farmer's Life

The excitement of the Spring Festival continued until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.On the day of the Lantern Festival, the villagers all went to the town to watch the lantern festival, and Du Weiming and Liu Jingyuan were no exception, happily joining in the fun.All kinds of lanterns are placed on both sides of East Street and West Street. There is also a lantern riddle meeting in West Street. A large family in the town has put up the most beautiful carp lantern, but the eyes of the carp are empty. of.It turned out that there was a lantern riddle on it, the first one to guess was ten taels of silver, and the carp's eyes would be added immediately.Therefore, the carp lantern was crowded with people, and everyone was guessing the lantern riddle.

"Four nights" type one word.Everyone in the crowd watching the lanterns is guessing, but there is no success yet.When Du Weiming and Liu Jingyuan arrived, they squeezed in with great interest when they saw so many people there, so they were guessing lantern riddles.Four nights, four nights, what is the word?Liu Jingyuan saw it, it's so simple.Liu Jingyuan pulled Du Weiming forward and spoke loudly to the person in charge. "I figured it out."

"Sir, what is the answer to the riddle?"

"Ro."

The steward nodded again and again, yes, yes.It turned out that the family's surname was Luo, and this lantern riddle was posed by the lady in their house.

"Sir, please come in with me, our lady is welcome."

"Let's forget about it. We have to rush back later, and we're leaving soon. We'll talk about it next time we have a chance." Liu Jingyuan felt that Du Weiming seemed a little unhappy, and quickly explained to the manager.The manager shook his head, took the money, and handed it to Liu Jingyuan, "Young man, you don't even cherish such a good opportunity."

"Thank you, I already have it, I don't need it."

Liu Jingyuan left in a hurry with Du Weiming with silver in his pocket, at this time the carp's eyes had already been added.Everyone was discussing the puzzles and answers, and they kept praising the lanterns.Du Weiming seemed to have lost the mood to look at the lanterns, and just followed the crowd, walking aimlessly on the street.In fact, although the conversation between the manager and Liu Jingyuan didn't explain it, Du Weiming still guessed what it meant, and felt a little panicked for some reason.

Liu Jingyuan finally bought a small lotus lantern for Du Weiming, which can be said to be the first gift he gave Du Weiming.Du Weiming smiled while holding the lotus lantern, and immediately became happy.I met villagers I met along the way, and everyone happily congratulated them.After returning home, Liu Jingyuan handed the bag containing the silver to Du Weiming, "Weiming, take this away."

"Why give it to me, you keep it yourself."

"Hehe, it's not good to let me go, it's better to let you go, you can put it away."

Du Weiming thought for a while, and put the money in the money jar under the bed.Speaking of which, this is the first time I have touched money since I came to this world.The usual money from last time is the greatest wealth, and it was earned by myself through hard work.Jing Yuan was fine, he won ten taels of silver by guessing a lantern riddle, Du Weiming was a little unbalanced.

After the Lantern Festival is over, the whole Spring Festival is also over.Du Weiming felt that time passed quickly. He saw that the villagers in the village had started to work in the fields one after another, and it would be spring plowing soon.After the New Year's Eve, Du Weiming told the village chief that he wanted to take back his land. The village chief thought he was still young and suggested that he rent it for two more years before taking it back. Seeing that he was quite persistent, it was fine and helped. Du Weiming took the land back.

The mushrooms at home are almost enough to eat. Du Weiming decided to go up the mountain to have a look. The main thing he wanted was to see the olive trees. He remembered that he saw many small olive trees next to him last time. They can be transplanted in spring. Yes, I don't know if I can move those small trees to my own field.When Liu Jingyuan heard that Du Weiming was going up the mountain, he also wanted to join with great interest. Du Weiming sorted out the things he needed and set off with him on his back in a bamboo basket.

Most of the trees on the mountain have just started to germinate. Du Weiming didn't get much harvest along the way. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he saw those olive trees. Du Weiming ran over to have a look, and there were indeed dozens of small trees beside him. , Du Weiming decided to dig one back first, plant it behind his house to see if it can survive, and move all these trees back if possible.The two of them worked hard for a long time and finally dug out the small tree, put it on the side of the road, and waited to take it back when they went back.

Continuing to go up, Du Weiming picked some mushrooms and black fungus one after another. Liu Jingyuan was very interested in these things. He never knew that the mushrooms he ate grew on this kind of tree stumps.Liu Jingyuan discovered that there were wild rabbits on the mountain. Du Weiming also had rabbits at home, but there were only 2 of them.With this rare opportunity, he also wanted to see if he could catch a few more rabbits for Du Weiming.I picked up more than a dozen stones on the side of the road and squeezed them in the palm of my hand. When I saw a rabbit from a distance, I used stones to attack.He didn't hit at first, but after practicing a few times, he finally hit three rabbits and two pheasants.Du Weiming also saw what martial arts is.

I used to think that things like martial arts were written in martial arts novels to deceive people, but I didn't expect to see them alive here.The two rabbits in Du Weiming's family are actually female rabbits. Du Weiming has never understood why his own rabbits have never had a baby rabbit. Later, Aunt Zhang showed him, where are the two female rabbits?One of the rabbits that Liu Jingyuan killed was a male rabbit, and Du Weiming felt that he would go home and raise the rest, and the rest would be added as today's food.Liu Jingyuan's martial arts is actually just average. There are two reasons why he was able to hit so many prey today. One is because the winter has just passed, and the animals on the mountain actually had no food all winter, and now they are all out looking for food.What about the second reason...

The two can be regarded as a rewarding experience.The first thing Du Weiming did after returning home was to plant the olive tree in the vegetable field behind his home.Du Weiming decided to observe for a period of time, and if there was no problem with the transplantation, he would transplant all the olive trees on the mountain.The male rabbit was raised alone, and the rest was slaughtered by Jing Yuan, and the two pheasants were directly marinated into salted chicken and left to dry in the back of the house.Rabbit is the big meal tonight.Braised rabbit meat, stir-fried diced rabbit, stewed rabbit meat with potatoes, mushroom soup with rabbit bone, and fried cabbage.There were still more than half of the rabbits left uneaten, so Du Weiming gave them to the head of the village next door, and Aunt Zhang was very happy.A table full of rabbit meals was wiped out by the two of them, Liu Jingyuan burped loudly, and then patted his head in embarrassment.Du Weiming cleaned up the dining table, Liu Jingyuan looked at his busy figure and felt a sense of happiness.

After a while, Liu Jingyuan also followed Du Weiming to the field, and the two took turns digging and preparing the field for the upcoming spring plowing.Du Weiming dug out all the remaining seeds and spread them out in the sun to dry.Du Weiming explained that this is to let the seeds bask in the sun and breathe fresh air.Liu Jingyuan felt a little strange, he had never heard that seeds need to bask in the sun and breathe fresh air.But he still spread the seeds on the oilcloth to dry according to Du Weiming's request.Du Weiming carefully organized the two lands in front and back of the house, which are ready to be used as land for raising seedlings.
