Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Mu Xi didn't know that Zhao Yeqing had just climbed up the watchtower and saw the forest burning with black smoke due to the explosion.

Zhao Yeqing had been a little distracted since he saw the black smoke yesterday afternoon. At first, he was unwilling to tell the old lady what Mu Xi was doing, but the old lady was such a shrewd person. Seeing Zhao Yeqing going back and forth like that, he could guess something.

Feng Lixuan pulled Zhao Yeqing aside early in the morning and asked her: "Little aunt, what's wrong with you? Something hasn't been right since last night."

"Ah? Is there any?"

Feng Lixuan counted on his fingers: "I almost bumped into the door twice. When I was eating, my chopsticks almost stuck into my nostrils. I could tell something was wrong, let alone the old lady."

Zhao Yeqing could only tell him about the black smoke he saw yesterday. Feng Lixuan paused and said with some lack of confidence: "...Hey! What does this mean? At least it means that they have penetrated deep into the enemy camp and will be over soon. !”

He tried to divert Zhao Yeqing's attention: "Didn't I see that the rice in the rice vat was almost eaten by me yesterday? Brother Mu will probably be back in the next two days, let's get some more."

Work is indeed a good way to divert attention.

Regardless of whether it was his previous job or his current job, Zhao Yeqing was still a little distracted at the beginning. While working, he was distracted by Feng Lixuan's questions one after another.

"Little aunt, what is this?"

"What do you usually do with the rice husks? I remember selling pig feed containing rice husks in the store before. After the ground cracked, I heard from my grandma that it could be used as fertilizer. Do you know how? If not, I will teach you! "

"Little aunt, why do I think the rice you grow is more fragrant than the rice grown in the city? Is it a different variety?"

Zhao Yeqing felt that he had talked a lot in the past few years in the mountains, because Mu Xi was not a talkative person, and the family always had to talk more to make it lively.

But since Feng Lixuan came to the house, the peaceful and quiet pastoral atmosphere has completely changed. She even began to reflect on herself. Could it be that she was so arrogant in Mu Xi's eyes?

"Nao Ting" is not a derogatory term. Zhao Yeqing is very glad that Feng Lixuan came here this time, otherwise the days of waiting in fear would not have passed so quickly.

It was already past noon after the two of them beat out rice in the yard.

When the old lady wakes up after taking a nap, she will continue to watch the TV series. By now, she has seen the plot of the heroine fighting back from the temple to the palace.

Generally, old ladies who are in good health are very greedy, and so is Old Mrs. Feng. Zhao Yeqing got her some soft and easy-to-chew snacks.

It would definitely be better if there were fresh fruits, but there are no more strawberry seedlings left at home this season, and there are no other fruits that can mature now.

She dug out cans made from oranges picked after last fall.

It was refrigerated and sterilized properly. Now the orange pulp is still fresh when soaked in sugar water.

Feng Lixuan couldn't help but be greedy when he saw it. This was a fruit that was rarely seen in big markets in the city. Only in small markets during the corresponding seasons, you might encounter some mountain people carrying wild or planted ones at their doorsteps. The fruits of two fruit trees are exchanged for things.

Fruits that are only about 30% to 40% sweet are in short supply in small markets.

The conditions in their city are relatively good. I heard from brothers who went to other cities to trade supplies and said that in those cities with less land, people in them take vitamin tablets issued by the government every day.

What are they called colorful vitamin tablets? The food is to eat a steamed bun every meal, take two vitamin tablets, and occasionally give an egg, which is enough for an adult to get the nutrients he needs for a day.

That's simply not how people live.

The old lady and Feng Lixuan forked a piece of fruit pulp and put it in their mouths.

The plump and juicy pulp was placed between the lips and teeth and the sweet juice burst out and filled the mouth. The old lady liked it very much, but she knew that there was probably not much of it, so she was reluctant to eat it.

"Good boy, isn't this rare? Just open this can and give it to me. Don't open the others and keep it for yourself, good boy."

Zhao Yeqing held the old lady's hand: "It's not rare, it's not rare. The two trees in the backyard bear a lot of fruit every year. This is because Mu Xi and I can't eat, so we only brought two trees back. There is a tree nearby. The path goes down the mountain, and on the way down is the original orange orchard, with many fruit trees in it. "

Feng Lixuan was numb.

There are too many fruits, I can’t finish them... I can’t finish them... I can’t finish them...

Feng Lixuan (??????_??????): "Little aunt, next time you suffer like this, please let me eat it!"

After he said this, he suddenly realized something: "No one wants a fruit tree! Then let me carry it back!"

Fruit trees are the most difficult thing to cultivate. There are no saplings that can be planted in batches. If you want to build a large orchard, you have to start from seeds. How long will it take to grow into a tree?

There are ready-made saplings, and taking them back is not a sign of achievement!

When Feng Lixuan thought that after he returned home after making a great contribution this time, the next vacation might be beckoning to him again, he wished he could run to that orchard now.

No, no, you have to go back on the first day, otherwise what will you do if the saplings are wilted after you dig them up?

Zhao Yeqing didn't care, he could just take them all back. Anyway, the saplings were halfway up the mountain, and the two of them didn't have the energy to manage them now.

"I'll start with my ugly words. It's been a long time since we visited the fruit trees in the forest. It's been almost three years. I don't know how many there are left now. The road down the mountain has been abandoned for a long time. It's probably necessary to build a new road."

I don’t know if there are any strange animals under the mountain, such as the gibbon I met last time.

"Is it so troublesome?" Feng Lixuan originally thought that going down would mean digging trees would be tiring, and transportation might take some effort, but he didn't expect that even the road down the mountain would have to be cleared again.

"How about this first? I will report to the superiors when I go back this time. If the superiors are interested and approve it, I will bring a few people over to do coolies."

They couldn't have fruit trees in the city and let his little aunt, a girl, dig fruit trees for them and work for free.

Old Mrs. Feng chatted next to her: "That's the truth, one is one and two is two. You can't trouble your little aunt with everything."

After deciding on the fruit trees, Zhao Yeqing was going to prepare dinner.

There is a greedy boy like Feng Lixuan in the family. No matter how much we cook, we don’t have to worry about no one eating it.

He stopped making noises about killing chickens and ducks, and focused on the frozen meat in her refrigerator, saying that he would help her clean up the inventory.

"Little aunt, you still have frozen suckling pigs here! What a magical life you live!"

"You want to eat it and defrost it another day. It's too late today. It's quite troublesome to make this thing. It was your brother Mu who baked it before. Let's wait until he comes back."

A lazy voice came from the kitchen door:

"What can you say after I come back?"
