In my days as a farmer

In early summer, the time of Golden Wuxi Chui is always extraordinarily beautiful.

When the afterglow of the sun shines on the thicker clouds than in other seasons, it can reflect more brilliant and changeable colors.

For the creatures living on this land, the temperature left by the long-term exposure to sunlight during the day has not yet faded, and the aromatic substances released by the plants under the high-temperature roasting have drifted away with the night breeze, awakening People are somewhat chaotic minds.

In an ordinary small farmyard at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, two young men were standing side by side by the console, chatting while making horses for turtles and killing chickens.

"The village chief told you that he would suggest that you acquire another [-] mu of land?" The taller youth was holding a sponge head to brush the turtle's back, and he turned his head slightly and asked the youth beside him, "Where is the land?" ?”

Another young man was holding the tortoise's carapace in his palm to brush its plastron. He pursed his lips when he heard the words: "Fourteen acres is the land next to us, and it goes on. There are some six acres farther away from here. It takes four to five kilometers to walk, but the land there is better, it is cultivated land. The price of forest land is the same as mine last year, and the price of cultivated land is slightly more expensive, but there are also discounts.”

"But I didn't agree, I said I have to think about it." Xia Dongli continued.

Xun Yao turned around in surprise, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Why? Didn't you say you want to buy more land before?"

"Hmm..." Xia Dongli put down the tortoise in his hand, and watched it skillfully crawl under the faucet to massage its back with water.He hastily turned down the faucet a little bit, this faucet was filled with stored rainwater, and now Ah Da had to use it sparingly if he wanted to rush back.

"How should I put it?" The young man dragged a chair over and sat back, his posture was relaxed, but his expression was a little distressed, "I did move the idea of ​​wrapping up a little before, but my psychological price is actually seven acres, adding up Twenty acres is enough. Now the village chief recommends 33 acres plus [-] acres. I think it’s too much, and it may become a burden.”

"Burden." Xun Ao repeated these two words, his tone was soft, like the clouds in the sky at the moment, so soft that it would be blown away by a gust of wind at any time.

He put the tortoise down and let it run over and lie on Ada's body to charge its back. He turned his head to look at Xia Dongli with clear and somewhat disappointed eyes: "Is it because of me, Adong?"

"Because I was asked to study before, I felt that the 33 acres of land would be too busy."

He bent down slightly, looked straight into the brown eyes that were widened in astonishment: "Ah Dong, I am your burden..."

"what???"

How do you say that?How could Xiao Yao think so!

Xia Dongli frantically tried to appease the child, but couldn't sort out his words for a while: "No, that, this has nothing to do with you, it's just my original idea..."

"The helper A Dong wants to hire is someone who can help you farm," the young man interrupted him, "but because he hired me, because he worried that I needed to study, so A Dong couldn't contract more land, right? ? But I can help while studying, Adong doesn’t need to change your original plan!”

Xia Dongli was dumb. He looked at the stubborn young man in front of him and sighed slightly. Is this a period of rebellion?Or a blow to your self-esteem?Xiao Yu usually looked at a steady look, he almost forgot that this person should be younger than him.

"Xiao Ying, sit down first, you are too tall, I see your neck hurts."

Xun Yao pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he compromised and dragged a stool over to sit in front of Xia Dongli.I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Dongli felt that both ears on his head were hanging down, like a dog who knew he was going to be punished, but he felt that he was right, so he straightened his spine and stuck his neck , but felt extremely wronged in his heart.

Yes, kinda cute.

As a dog father, Xia Dongli really has no resistance to this kind of canine. He pressed his left hand that was about to move with his right hand, and then pressed his right hand that was also about to move with his left hand, and repeated this a few times. Suppressed the desire to brush Xiaoyu's hair.

"That, Xiaoyu." Xia Dongli pondered for a while, and was about to say some comforting words to coax the children, when he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of the muttering of the senior educator at home.

Mr. Xia is a university professor, but he often goes to give trial classes to high school students during winter and summer vacations, and he often contacts children of all ages.Xia Dongli once heard from his father that he should respect every word of minors whose personalities are still growing.

Because you don't know which sentence will become his life-saving straw, and you don't know which action may determine his final character, and character is an important thing that can determine fate.

And the child may not know that you are lying and perfunctory, but because he believes in you, he believes your lies.

Respect and trust are the most important ways of educating children.

Xiao Yu is not a child, but his situation is more complicated than that of a child. He has the understanding ability of an adult and the intuition of a child. Most importantly, his destructive power is not small.

It would be a bad thing if a good young man in this society is carelessly raised by him!

Xia Dongli was silent for a moment, and then rearranged his words: "There is indeed a little factor of you, but the main reason is not you."

He looked directly into Xun Yu's dark eyes: "Mr. Song told me that agricultural planting needs to make a profit, especially those who grow pasture like us, either go into the high-quality line and cultivate high-quality pasture as seeds or The food for small animals must be intensified to reduce production costs, otherwise it will not be easy to achieve equal income and expenditure.”

"He had visited a farm in the next county for organic fertilizers. That farm was a state-run farm. It has been seeking reform in the past two years, so he had the idea of ​​changing from grain-fed to grass-fed."

Xia Dongli stood up, poured a glass of water for each of them, and forced them into Xun Yao's hands.He thought of the village head of Xiaojin Village with dark skin and sincere eyes, and he couldn't help saying with some admiration: "After he heard this, he went to inquire. If the farm buys pasture, the most convenient place to buy grass is from Inner Mongolia." However, due to climate reasons, the supply of pasture in Inner Mongolia will be interrupted, and in autumn and winter they can only feed on green storage.”

"Although the quality of the grass in Inner Mongolia is good, it is shipped late in the spring, so the pasture must purchase grass from the south in the spring, and the transportation cost will be higher. So the village chief Xiao Song wanted to connect me with them."

Xun Yao frowned slightly when he heard the words, and seemed even more puzzled.Xia Dongli sighed when he saw this, and scratched his cheeks a little embarrassedly: "Although this is a good thing for me, the other farm is also quite satisfied with the fact that we can supply fodder at a close distance, but the premise is that I have It can provide a stable supply. You see, I only have [-] acres of land now, and the output is far from reaching the word "stable". So Village Chief Song specially found some land for me, and wanted to help me win it. this order."

Xia Dongli explained the cause and effect to Xun Yu in detail, and then he said his thoughts: "But the problem is that with 33 acres of land, even if you and I work wholeheartedly, we can't be busy. We can only rely on mechanization. But if you often If you need to do farm work, it is not cost-effective to rent farm tools based on rent, and the best way to deal with it is to buy a tiller or tractor."

"It's a lot of expense."

"And you also know that the irrigation conditions of the land on the mountain are not good. If you really want to intensify, you can't deal with it like this. At that time, you will definitely have to build a reservoir for irrigation channels. These The investment is not a small amount.”

Although talking about money is very vulgar, there is really no way around this level.

Xia Dongli shook his ankle, feeling a little helpless.

It doesn't matter how much money he invests as a hobby, but as a career, he must calculate the costs and benefits, and it is impossible to spend money in it endlessly.

This one is too complicated, it is simply bald.

But in terms of decisive factors——

"The purpose of my coming here is to accompany Rice. If I ignore Rice for the sake of these lands, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse, so I don't want to keep myself too busy." He smacked his lips, "And Xiaoyu remembers that I said before that I want more When is the packing place?"

Xun Yao replied without hesitation: "After drinking with Researcher Chen."

"I didn't drink!" Xia Dongli quickly retorted, and he emphasized, "I was driving that day, so I didn't drink... I just ate!"

No, the point is not this, why is Xiaoyu's memory so strange!Xia Dongli was a little crazy, "At that time, I wanted to rent more land so that I could grow seeds that Researcher Chen couldn't sell. It would be great if someone found commercial value like the croissant this time. gone."

"Even if no one finds out, the planting experience and output of ordinary people like me can provide them with some reference data. After all, it is not easy for them. Anyway, I can grow anything by myself. But this is also within our ability. That's why I said that too much planting is a burden." Xia Dongli pursed her lips, and finally rubbed her face a little unbearably, "Oh, this is my own idea. I haven't told them about it yet. Now I want to How can I feel weird!"

"No, Adong is very good, Adong is the best." Xun Yao watched him quietly for a moment, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth, his smile seemed to melt in the hot summer wind, gentle and Some hot.

Xia Dongli was inexplicably thirsty after being praised by him, and felt that the happy water in the refrigerator was calling him, so he jumped off the chair and reached out to rub the young man's head: "So, if you have time to think about these things, you might as well think about it." What professional."

"I've already made up my mind." Xun Ao let his hair get messed up, and he looked straight at Xia Dongli, "I want to study veterinary medicine."

"Are you sure?" Xia Dongli raised his eyebrows, "This major is really not easy, and this major requires practice. It may not be possible to learn online courses for all courses."

"Well..." Xun Yao responded, "So I still want to learn how to drive. If I drive in the future, Adong can drink."

Xia Dongli was dumbfounded. He looked at the young man in front of him with some helplessness and a little sigh, and muttered: "I know what it means to have a child in my family who has just grown up."

Seeing the baby bird flapping its wings, the sharp feeling in the eyes is really complicated, a feeling of reluctance and relief, just like becoming a father early.

The last time I had this feeling was the first time his rice came to show off to him with a caught Frisbee in his mouth.

At that time, Rice was still a half-sized juvenile dog, and the Frisbee was almost bigger than its face, and it was extremely difficult for Rice to bite, and it looked like it was dragging the ground all the way.

But he has to say this, it's not that he abused his own dog!At that time, Rice was watching someone else's golden retriever playing Frisbee. He watched the golden retriever learn rice before he learned it.

When the owner of the golden retriever threw the Frisbee, Da Mi watched the golden retriever still standing there watching the Frisbee fly over his head, seeing that the owner was going to make another trip for nothing, so Da Mi ran over to catch it with a beautiful leap. Live, and it's a success once again.

However, after the Frisbee was caught, Rice bit the plate and ran towards him. The golden retriever was unwilling to see the toy being taken away, and chased after Rice while yelling "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Yes, just like now.

Um! ? ! !

Xia Dongli stared at the gate with rounded eyes.

His beloved Rice ran towards him with something in its mouth. It was chasing a short-haired golden dog. It seemed to be slightly taller than Rice at the shoulders. Although it couldn't keep up with Rice running fast, it was four The posture of the claw landing is very powerful, and it looks like a powerful player at first glance.

The two dogs ran very fast, and Da Mi was familiar with the terrain. Xia Dongli's goat beans were high enough to cover the sight of medium-sized dogs, so Da Mi deliberately burrowed into the grass.Obviously, this despicable... Ah no, cunning means effectively blocked the progress of the pursuer.

But for humans, they can still barely see the trajectory of the two dogs.Xia Dongli grabbed Xun Yao's arm, and asked incredulously, "Xiao Yao, take a quick look, is there something in the rice's mouth?!"

He, why did he see the fluffy head that was caught by the rice and occasionally didn't retract the little tail that hangs down! !

Didn't it mean that rice stole that barking puppy in the back? ! !

Yaoshou!This is not a hatred value that a few pet teething biscuits can handle!

The author has something to say: Dongli: This is more than just growth! !
