Chapter 160 Farmland 2 updates

After dinner, Xu Huaiyi took Wei Liang out and took Gu Xiaoyu with him. The reason was that he had eaten too much pickled fish and had to do some work to digest his food.

Gu Huanxi didn't go. She taught Wei Ci how to make bean sprouts. It was cold and it could be eaten as a dish. After closing the door, she picked out the wheat with full grains and soaked it in water diluted by her daughter. After finishing her work, she She started annotating those few martial arts scriptures. Some of the things she didn’t understand had to be looked up in the dictionary. She took notes more seriously than when she was in school.

She worked hard enough for her friend to successfully pass the public examination.

Xu Huaiyi, who was mowing grass in the field, couldn't help but sneeze and touched his ears. Who was talking about him behind his back? Could it be that his wife misses him?

Twenty acres of land are connected together and overgrown with weeds. It is quite spectacular. If you want to clean it up, it is not enough to count on them. Village Chief Xu called a few more people to help.

Everyone listened to Xu Huaiyi's command and cut an isolation strip around the twenty acres of land, and then set it on fire. This saves worry and effort, and is not afraid of damaging nearby land. Most importantly, Don’t worry about the fire being out of control and burning the trees again.

Village Chief Xu couldn't help but nodded, "This is a good idea, we will do it next year."

When Xu Maoyuan saw it, he was even more tempted, "Why don't we wait until next year? Let's clean it up later. Even if we don't plant it this autumn, it's good to sort out the land first and raise it. Anyway, everyone is idle when they are idle."

Hearing this, Village Chief Xu also agreed, "You are right. If you have time, you can open up some more wasteland. Next year, if you sprinkle some beans, you can collect a few more bags."

The two of them discussed each other word by word, getting more and more excited as they talked.

When the isolation belt was cleared, Xu Huaiyi took Gu Xiaoyu's hand and lit a fire with him. The grass was already dry by this time, and the fire spread quickly without the wind blowing it. Pushing forward, wherever the fire passed, the vegetation was reduced to ashes.

Twenty acres of land burned, and the scene was quite shocking.

Gu Xiaoyu watched intently.

Xu Huaiyi asked, "What did you think of when you saw this fire?"

Gu Xiaoyu thought he was testing some truth about his life, and couldn't help but frown and think.

Xu Huaiyi said at this time, "Why don't you think about it? Of course it's the line about the wild fire that never burns out, but the spring breeze blows again. Hey, you're so knowledgeable, you don't even know this line of poetry?"

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

He knew this poem, but he didn't know that the question turned out to be so superficial.

Xu Huaiyi smiled proudly.

Gu Xiaoyu looked blank.

The two men are not on the same page at all, and each has his own joys and sorrows.

When the fire burns out, the ground will be scorched black and covered with plant ash, which is the most direct fertilizer and only needs to be plowed and sown.

With the mules here, it doesn't take much effort. You just have to find someone to borrow the plow. Village Chief Xu is familiar with this matter. He knows best who has a plow and who has an ox.

With Village Chief Xu Zhang Luo, Xu Huaiyi had a lot of leisure. He said to Gu Xiaoyu, "Go back and tell your mother to cook more dishes in the evening. Those who help our family have to treat them to a meal." .”

Gu Xiaoyu agreed, patted the dirt on his body and went home to send a message.

Xu Huaiyi did not expect that Village Chief Hu would come to help. He was naturally incapable of getting started at his age, but he asked his eldest grandson Hu Yingjie to drive the oxen and plow the ground.

Hu Yingjie has an expressionless face, but he works neatly. At first glance, he looks like a veteran of farming.

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly stepped forward to express his thanks.

Village Chief Hu waved his hands and said very politely, "We all live in the same village. We should have help from fellow villagers, but we shouldn't worry about it..."

Then, the topic changed, "Compared to the things you do, the work we do is not worth mentioning at all."

This brings the topic to what happened last night.

Xu Huaiyi did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and laughed and said, "You are so polite, we didn't do anything. We just invited a few monks to come to the village to chant sutras, just to feel at ease. After all, we lived in someone else's house and spent a lot of money. It’s not much, even if we take advantage, we should give it a try.”

Village Chief Hu could not tell anything from his face. Even though he had some doubts in his heart, he was not sure. He followed his words and said, "There is nothing to take advantage of. Those houses in the village are already idle and no one wants them. You are here because you have caught up. It is the fate of the two of us. We should become a family. If we really want to take advantage, it is because we have benefited from you. Over the years, outsiders have avoided our village. See you. I wish I could take a detour, I feel bad luck..."

He paused here and let out a long sigh, "Oh, it's all fate. Who wants those things to happen? We are so unlucky. Outsiders don't express sympathy and pity, but they still add insult to injury. What kind of hatred? Why do you want to drive us all out?"

Xu Huaiyi cleared his throat, "No."

Village Chief Hu shook his head, "That's because you haven't experienced it. Five years ago, it was really... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it. It's all over anyway, and it's also thanks to you. Who would have thought that the Buddha would meet last night? The spirit has appeared. With this miracle coming, who will dare to say that our Hutian Village is unlucky in the future!"

Xu Huaiyi laughed, "It will definitely get better and better in the future."

The village chief said, "Old man, I can rest in peace even if I die."

Xu Huaiyi didn't want to talk about this topic any further, and was even more afraid that the village chief Hu would go too far, so he asked instead, "Do you know where I can buy fruit saplings?"

"Fruit saplings? Can any fruit tree be used?"

"Peach, apricot, jujube, and pear trees are all fine."

Village Chief Hu nodded, "There are all of these. There are also plum trees in the mountains. They are very beautiful when they bloom. I also have grapes at home. If you want to plant them, ask Yingjie to cut some for you and plant them."

"That's good. Don't bother me with anything. I'll leave the fruit tree to you. You can negotiate a price when the time comes and keep it so that your hard work won't be in vain."

Village Chief Hu waved his hand, "Those things are not worth much. If you feel bad about having to do something with your own strength, you can just give a meal to whoever helps with the work."

Xu Huaiyi didn't shirk anymore and readily agreed.

In the evening, Xu Huaiyi called all the people who helped with the farming this afternoon to his home for dinner. There were two tables in the main room, which was quite spacious.

After Gu Huanxi received the message from Gu Xiaoyu, he and Wei Ci were busy in the kitchen. They estimated the number of people working and prepared more than a dozen dishes. Fortunately, Wei Liang went to buy a basket of vegetables in the morning, otherwise he would not be able to eat all the dishes tonight. No entertainment.

There is a large pot of pig's trotters stewed with soybeans on every table, as well as braised pork ribs, steamed dried vegetables with oiled meat, fried bacon, and the rest are vegetarian dishes, but with Gu Huanxi's skillful hands, the taste is not bad. There were only two dishes of cabbage, vinegared cabbage and cold cabbage heart. Everyone ate it with praise, and even licked their faces to ask how to make it.

Xu Huaiyi can also make it and share it generously.

The meal lasted for more than half an hour, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
