In my days as a farmer

In this cruel world, only the soft belly of a beloved pet can give comfort!

Xu Yibai was sitting in the courtyard with his beloved Xiaokang pig in his arms, watching the two young men hang a small wooden house on the wisteria trellis. nose, and couldn't help making an intoxicated sound—ah, the feel of his family's Xiaokang is really great!

And I don’t know if it’s because my good brother raises pigs in the water and soil, I always feel that Xiaokang’s skin is more delicate!

Xiaokang, who was masturbated, also squinted his eyes comfortably, and happy little flowers floated around each person and pet.The scene was so crooked that Xia Dongli couldn't help shivering.

Today, Xiaokang seemed to feel that Lao Xu was coming, and he came back early. I have to say that this disrupted his plan. Xia Dongli originally planned to hang up the feeder after he was ready, because he had to go up the ladder. One caught these little shells and stuffed them into the cage.

However, the Xiaokang pig got special treatment because of the presence of its owner, but the premise of the special treatment was that Lao Xu had to hold it down and not let it sprint like a pig.

Seeing that Old Xu's eyes were about to close up, Xia Dongli shouted at him very vigilantly: "Old Xu, don't fall asleep!"

"I know." Xu Yibai waved his hand at him, "Don't worry, I'm holding you down."

Xia Dongli looked at Xiaokang in Xu Yibai's arms, and always felt a little unreliable. After talking to Xun Ao, he changed to a position where he could clearly see the two masters and pets over there and climbed up the ladder.

Xun Yao didn't seem to care too much. He followed Xia Dongli's instructions and placed the bird feeder in the center of the flower stand. After some fine-tuning, this place was almost directly above the small pond.

The choice of this position was also forced.

They use a variety of grains for bird food, mixed with a little corn kernels, oatmeal and other coarse grains, which basically include the diet of all birds.However, this also caused the chickens and ducks at home to start to move around.During the ingredients, Xia Dongli didn't watch any one of them, and the two hens in the family once walked over carelessly and ate Hesai.If it is placed aside, it is hard to guarantee that the few people at home will not have the idea of ​​stealing food.

It's safer to put it in the center, where the little jiu can't fly up.

And there is another advantage of putting it here. When the birds eat, it is inevitable that there will be leaks. If these grains fall on the ground, they will germinate in a short time, but if they fall on the water, there is no need to worry about this!

The grains are so light that they float on the water and are sent out of the small pond with the current.If you are lucky along the way, you may also find a suitable place to take root.

There is another, less romantic reason.Animals like birds cannot control their poop due to their physiological structure. It is completely normal to poop while eating. However, the small pond has a very strong decontamination ability, and it can hold the pollution-making ability of Xia Dongli's two turtles. , Bird poop is naturally no problem.

"But I think your tortoise will protest!" Seeing that the two started to clean up the ladder, Lao Xu let go of his pet and expressed his disagreement by the way.

Xia Dongli slammed his mouth, thinking about it, no one wants to live in a place where poop will fall from the sky, "Then I will buy some black-shell shrimp and stuff it in to bribe it."

Ah Da and Ah Er like to eat shrimps the most, and black-shell shrimps have a strong cleaning ability. They can eat poop and help control algae at the same time. Although their pollution-making ability is also not weak, their poop is very light and can be completely cleaned. The self-purification ability of the small pond is digested.

However, the premise is that there must be enough shelter in the small pond, otherwise they will not be enough for two turtles to eat.

Still have to grow aquatic plants... He touched his chin.

That's right, there are no aquatic plants planted in Xia Dongli's pond at present, mainly because he hasn't found any aquatic plants that can hold the tortoise.

He stuffed a few snapdragons into the bottom of the water before, but they were pulled out by two turtles at home.Fortunately, the vitality of snapdragon grass is extremely tenacious, and it can survive even if it floats on the water.

He tried a few more, but all of them were uprooted. In the end, the small pond could only be lit first.A small pond without plants competing for nutrients can quickly become a haven for algae.

However, this situation is about to change soon.

Xia Dongli, who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, has already placed an order online to buy lotus rhizomes.

As soon as the thing arrived, he was going to plant it directly in a flowerpot, and then put the flowerpot in a small pond. No matter how powerful their tortoise was, it was impossible for him to have the power to defeat a flowerpot full of mud!

At that time, the rhizome of the lotus can provide shelter for the shrimps, and in summer, a small flower can bloom, killing three birds with one stone.

Old Comrade Xu, who had never set foot in the aquarium world, was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly asked excitedly: "What kind of shrimp is a black-shelled shrimp? I don't think I've heard of it. Is it delicious?"

Very well, Comrade Xu has the demeanor of the younger generation in Huaguo. When he hears an animal he doesn't know but is suspected to be edible, his first reaction is whether it tastes good or not.

It is definitely edible, but it is not necessary.

Xia Dongli gestured at him about the size of the black-shelled shrimp, and Lao Xu immediately lost interest.

If you eat shrimp, you have to eat fat and springy meat!What's the point of this kind of shrimp, it's not enough to fit between the teeth.

Xia Dongli expressed disbelief at his lack of self-consciousness: "Even if I give it to you, you can't eat it. Eat a light diet, refuse seafood and seafood, and eat more vegetables. Mr. Xu, please follow the doctor's advice?"

Xu Yibai suddenly became numb, and he felt sad: "Mr. Xia! There is a gap as big as several mountains between forced vegetarianism and voluntary eating!"

"I think back then, this king could also drink wind and drink dew without eating human fireworks, satisfy his hunger with Master Kong, and serve meals with Shuanghui. Unfortunately, he met a troublemaker, and now I have been spoiled by that bastard. Brother Xia! You don't know us The leader can eat as much as he can, and following him, I have traveled all over the streets and alleys, big shops and small shops, and private dishes. Now you let me go back to before liberation...you say that I am living now What a day! What a pain!"

Xia Dongli was speechless for a while when he heard the words, he didn't know what to say when he looked at this showman, he said sympathy... It's really pitiful, but think about the Jiugong grid that this guy was so proud of in the circle of friends before , he couldn't feel any sympathy.

Xun Yao walked past him with a ladder in his hands, and when he heard the words, he felt somewhat sympathetic.If he was asked to eat mosquito coils now... Well, then he would rather continue raising silkworms.

Lao Xu was still babbling over there: "And it will be summer soon, Lao Xia, tell me, what is your first reaction when it comes to summer?"

Xia Dongli said without thinking, "Mosquito!"

"..." Xu Yibai was silent when he heard the words. He glanced at his little friend with contempt in his eyes, "What's the matter with you, Lao Xia? Are you worthy of your surname? What is the characteristic of Xia Tian? It must be sweating Dripping skewers and cold beer. If you can add seafood and spicy crayfish, then you have reached the pinnacle of your life."

"But you can't even eat it!" Xia Dongli stabbed softly.Old Xu was stunned, Xia Dongli kicked his chair lightly, "Okay, go and install your toilet seat, I can't fit this thing. Also, you go to the toilet on the second floor There is no electricity in the toilet on the first floor."

Xu Yibai muttered a few words, rua'd his pet with a full face of attachment, and then walked into the hut with desolate steps.

Xia's dinner is very simple, two meat and one vegetable with a tomato and egg soup, almost all vegetables are produced in the small courtyard.Xun Yao's craftsmanship has been practiced these days. He is very good at knives and knives. Although he is basically a vegetarian, Lao Xu is still quite satisfied.

After dinner, Xia Dongli washed the dishes in the kitchen, while Xun Ao went to the yard to feed the small animals. The two did not talk about how to divide the work, which was obviously the norm.Xu Yibai, who had been observing silently, came to the kitchen, "Xiao Xia, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Huh? What?" Xia Dongli was washing the bowl, and looked at him suspiciously when he heard this.

"Just Xiao Xun." Xu Yibai leaned against the edge of the pool, his eyes pierced through the window frame, and the young people outside were shuttling back and forth in the yard, followed by a bunch of small animals waiting to be fed.He moved very swiftly, pouring out dog food, putting chicken food, stuffing fodder, but after a couple of moves, the yard became quiet.In his free time, he changed the water in the washbasin, and after the small animals had finished eating, he cleaned and dried the rice bowl.

"If he can't find his family all the time, will you support him like this?"

"Ah..." Xia Dongli was taken aback for a moment, then unconsciously turned up the faucet, covering the conversation between the two with the sound of water, "I didn't raise him, but the government..."

"Xiao Xia—" Xu Yibai interrupted him, "You just rented the land for ten years?"

Xia Dongli moved his lips, but said nothing.

"Ten years later, will you stay?"

Xia Dongli frowned, with a struggling expression, and sighed after a while, "Who knows what will happen in the future, for now, I still like Xiaojin Village."

"That's because you are still young. You are in your twenties. Living here is to experience life. But you don't plan to get married or have children, right? The living environment in Xiaojin Village will be very inconvenient. At least The educational resources here are not as good as those in the city." Xu Yibai looked away, not looking at Xia Dongli's expression, "Even if you are doing it for Rice, Rice will be an old dog in ten years. As far as pet medical conditions are concerned, You have to go back to the city too? Can you take him back then?"

"..."

"Brother, it's not that I poured cold water on you. You have read history books. You should know better than anyone else that Doumi En is promoted to Mi Qiu."

"I know." Xia Dongli pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "But he won't be able to find his own home for ten years, right? And what if he gets married first..."

Xu Yibai rolled his eyes: "With your family's isolated environment, where can he find a wife? Find you?"

Xia Dongli: "..."

Xu Yibai, who had regained his poisonous tongue skills, continued to question his soul: "Does he have an ID card now? Where is his diploma? Can he read?"

Xia Dongli replied obediently: "Yes, the police station applied for a temporary certificate for him, but he can't go out of the province, and he has to go through the formalities first when he goes out. Education... Is there no such thing, no one can find it, where did he get it? There is no problem with writing, he can already understand ordinary books."

"Cub—" Xu Yibai pondered for a while, and said, "I advise you to let him go to adult education, no matter what, he should get his technical secondary school diploma first. If he intends to study for a college diploma, I'll consider you. In other cases, you can look for a school that provides distance education services. This kind of school can take the textbooks and take online classes at home, and you can just go there during the exam.”

"He has been relying on you. You two will never be equal, and there is no common topic. After all, the topic is determined by vision. And with a diploma, he can have multiple paths in the future. If he goes to the city with you in the future, he can find It is a job. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to study, after all, there are people who cannot study."

Xu Yibai patted him on the shoulder: "Teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. The investment in learning will never be outdated. Think about it, Comrade Xiaoxia."

Xia Dongli washed the bowl clean, then leaned against the sink and thought for a while, and felt that what Old Xu said was quite reasonable, but there was something weird...

He didn't realize it until he turned on the computer and looked up relevant information on continuing education.

Why did Lao Xu say that the two are equal and unequal? ​​Also, why should there be a common topic.Most importantly, why did Lao Xu acquiesce that Xiao Yao would follow him back to the city?

The author has something to say: Old Xu: What do you think? ?

Even Gong cannot escape the fate of online classes!
