The matter of digging the mountain fell into a dead end for the time being, Xu Jiu didn't know what the elder would do, so he couldn't help feeling depressed.

"What's the matter, after running for a day, it's like this when I come back." Grandma asked in a rough voice.

Xu Jiu lowered his head: "Mom, I see that the manor has dug a deep cellar in the back mountain to store snow water. I thought our village can also dig a well, but the elders said it is not easy."

Grandma was surprised by his idea: "You know what's going on in our village, how can you compare with adults."

Xu Jiu fell silent, looking a little troubled.

Grandma was very troubled by his idealism: "Our village can't store water. Look at our two tanks. At most, they can be stored there, stored on the ground, and will melt away as soon as the weather is warm."

"It's definitely not good to exist in the sandy ground, so I told the elders to dig a deep well in the back mountain, and we also have water."

Grandma sighed again and again: "I know you can dig out water in the place where you live, so I feel that there is water everywhere. We can't compare with the place where you live, otherwise the ancestors would not have chosen to build the city there."

"I feel that there is water." Xu Jiu couldn't say that he must have water. He just said, "The mountain range is very long, and the top of the mountain is also high. Before the sun rises, you can still see the mist. And the place I chose is a For valleys that can gather water, as long as we dig the mountainside horizontally and then dig wells down, there will definitely be water."

"..." Grandma was speechless for the first time, and opened her mouth, "Dig the mountain?"

When Xu Jiu heard it, even his mother thought it was ridiculous, and the reaction of other people must be even bigger.

"If we can save water, life will be much more convenient in the future. The method of tanning the skin I taught you can also be promoted, and the village can also have other income."

Grandma's expression was still indescribable, probably because she felt that his idea was full of jokes and she couldn't complain.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you some meat, and this little guy." Grandma pinched Pang Pang, who had been huddled in Xu Jiu's arms.

The child was as unresponsive as a doll.

As long as Pangpang is by his side, Xu Jiu will always insist on massaging his legs and feet, especially after walking so much today.He took off the child until only his underwear was left, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it into the basin, and wiped the child clean first.

Pangpang is also used to being wiped by him. He wiped his face first, and then wiped his left hand after his face was wiped. After he finished wiping, Pangpang stretched out his right hand consciously, with a small expression of satisfaction.

Xu Jiu saw that he was happy, and the haze in his heart disappeared, and he nodded his forehead: "Fatty, you really have the qualifications to be a master."

Chubby's eyeballs rolled around, and he raised his feet high.

... Xu Jiu was about to wipe his face with a towel.

"Put it down."

His dusty feet were still stunned.

Because of saving water, the two always shared a basin of water. After Xu Jiu washed Pangpang, even if he didn't mind it, he didn't plan to wash his face with the muddy water that children use to wash their dirty feet.

"This is the towel for washing your face. After I finish washing my face, I will find you a rag to wipe your feet."

The child arched down on his back, putting his feet on the towel in his hand.

Xu Jiu: "..."

He threw himself on the child and scratched his itchy acupoints with both hands: "Rebel, fat,...don't hide!"

The child giggled, he seldom laughed out loud, his voice was out of breath like a newly weaned cat, and his small body writhed under Xu Jiu.

"Nine, how old are you, and you still bully the little boy." Just as the grandmother came in, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but yell at her son.

"Mom, he's too skinny."

"It's so stupid, I haven't said a word from yesterday to today."

Xu Jiu knew that this was Grandma's worry about Pang Pang, and joked: "Pang Pang is talking sharply, why do you usually talk like that, waste saliva, water is so precious, isn't it Pang Pang? Call it Ah .”

Fatty moved slightly to Xu Jiu's side, and Nuo Nuo called out, "Ah."

Grandma was finally satisfied: "You are right, he is really good-looking and well-behaved. I have never seen such a good-looking child in my life."

Fatty kicked his dirty legs.

Grandma saw the dirty soles of her feet and scolded Xu Jiu: "Why don't you wipe the child's feet?"

Xu Jiu squeezed those two restless feet with his big hands, and said with a smile: "Just wipe it."

Pangpang got his wish and asked Xu Jiu to wash his feet first with face wash.

"naughty."

Fatty happily pawed on him.

Xu Jiu shook him: "It's a bit heavier. But why is this head still the same, fat, why don't you grow up?"

The child yawned.

Xu Jiu pinched the young man's arms and legs as appointed.

……

When Grandma came in with a bowl of minced meat, she saw that the man had already fallen asleep, and she said dissatisfiedly, "You let him sleep before he ate?"

Xu Jiu really couldn't say that with Pang Pang's picky eating method, he wouldn't eat even if he cooked it. He just took the bowl with both hands and said, "I'm your son, grandma let me eat."

This bowl of minced meat was very finely chopped, and mixed with the milk that Xu Jiu brought back, it really wasted a lot of work for the woman.She was a little unwilling to feed the cub: "I still eat this when I'm old, it's for children."

While talking, Xu Jiu had already poured a bowl of meat into his mouth with a grunt.

"You're worthless!" Grandma thumped him, "I'll go to Uncle's house after dinner."

Xu Jiu nodded, seeing that Grandma simply ate two pieces of meat, packed up the things for the elders, and went out.

The room was suddenly empty, and Xu Jiu turned around twice.The house is very simple, and most of the utensils are rough and primitive. At first glance, it looks dark and dilapidated.

The stone circle outside the house was empty, and there were two layers of neatly piled stones next to the huge stone wall, probably picked up by grandma one after another.The stones on the outer wall are thicker, so the sunflower beast won't be able to knock it out easily.

Xu Jiu closed the stone door, glanced at the sleeping Pangpang, walked to the toilet at the back of the house, and entered the space.

Before he left, he had pulled out most of the ginger and radishes in the space and planted them in the stone troughs in the hall, so the space now looks like it has been swept away. Except for motherwort, the other fields are sparse.

The seedlings in the fourth field have grown, and the leaves are oily, slim, green and lovely.

Xu Jiu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't go to the point where he couldn't tell the difference between bean and wheat. Yes, this is a stalk of wheat or wheat.

He didn't know how these crops grow according to the logic, from ginger, to radish, to wheat, this is not like a medicine field, but like a farmland.There was only one completely pure medicine, and it turned out to be motherwort.

Of course, all these things are one type of medicine. Since ancient times, Chinese people have taken medicine without distinction, so there is the concept of diet therapy.

However, he was relieved to grow wheat, which was much better than growing other messy things.

Xu Jiu wrote the word "wheat" in the Pharmacopoeia.

The page header changed immediately, forming the word "Gubu" like a watermark.In this way, the first four fields are the vegetable department, the vegetable department, the grass department, and the ancient department, which are very detailed.

In addition to eating wheat, folks also use it to apply wounds. In the past, when children’s skin was injured, adults directly applied it to the wound, and it will heal within a few days.There are other folk remedies. The older generation respects food very much. They will offer a bowl of new food to the Stove Lord first, and those who return from a long journey will carefully smear their feet with raw noodles mixed with water.

Xu Jiu grew up with his grandparents. Every time he saw his grandpa come down from the mountain, his grandma would paste his feet in batter as if doing something big.

The progress bar shows that the wheat is 25 days away from maturity.Xu Jiu held the Pharmacopoeia and wanted to write a little bit for a while, but finally finished 10% of it.He has been in for a while, and Grandma probably will be back soon.

After closing the book, Xu Jiu appeared in the toilet without a trace.

After bypassing the front door, the woman came back and was standing at the door looking around.Seeing him, he hurriedly pulled him over: "Where did you go!"

Xu Jiu shook the smell on his clothes: "Auntie, smell it."

"You son of a bitch, if you don't fight for a day, you will be no big or small." Grandma pretended to lose her temper, "I have been looking for you for a long time, but I dare not shout loudly, for fear of waking up the little brats in the room. Why don't you answer Grandma's words?"

Xu Jiu felt embarrassed: "Grandma, I can't run out halfway."

"Bang", he finally got a real punch for his mouth. "Your uncle asked you to come to his house to chat at night." Grandma didn't forget the business, "I figured it out. Your uncle is just like you. He told you that he was really moved. He is young. It’s like that from time to time, as long as there is news, no matter whether it’s true or not, you have to try it. However, although you, Uncle, have tried many things that have no effect in most of your life, you have also tried a lot of things right.”

"Grandma, I hear your tone...you really appreciate my uncle."

"When you were young, Uncle was really more of a warrior than the whole village." Grandma praised sincerely, but she quickly turned around, "Why, you brat wanted to talk to your dad complaint?"

"How can I, Mom, I'm definitely not that kind of person."

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you suing me." The woman said this with full confidence. Women in the wasteland are rarely able to be subdued by men.This is a society that fights for force. Whoever has the hardest fist has the final say.

Xu Jiu looked at his mother's physique and was shocked.

"Go, don't get in my way." The woman looked at the sky and chased him away impatiently.

Xu Jiu staggered two steps, and hurriedly stopped: "Grandma, I have to hug Pangpang, he should be uneasy when he wakes up and can't see me."

"I'm watching him."

Xu Jiu still walked into the house, and said as he walked: "It's not like that, Mom, the baby is born when he is sleeping, and Chubby loves to cry and bothers you."

Grandma smacked her lips: "Are you raising a cub or a golden lump?"

Xu Jiu lightly carried the child into his arms: "Gold lumps are so valuable, we are fat and stone lumps."
