The fairy of space also farms

On Monday night, Wang Qing made a phone call with Xu Ning and planned to come to his house next Tuesday. The main reason was to consider the time when the strawberries were ripe. If they came early, they were afraid that the strawberries would not be ripe or that they would not be enough.In the next few days, Xu Ning would pick the ripe strawberries every day and store them in the space to keep them fresh, preparing for the coming students.

In the past few days, he and Xun Xu went to the back mountain, and made a lot of marks on the back mountain with lime. Those students who came to plant trees, even if there are two people in a hole, it is actually not that many. There are more than 50 people, and they only dig a dozen or so. If there are too many pits, they will definitely not be able to be dug. They are all children who have never suffered. They are just here to experience life, not to really work.

Brothers and sisters Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Xiaojing knew that the strawberries here were ripe, so they would come here once a day to pick strawberries and eat them. Xu Ning was thinking about the cheap labor, and for the first time, he was harsh on his nephew and niece. Pick a few back for the little brothers and sisters.

Children can't help showing off when they have good things. Xu Xiaofeng brought strawberries to school to show to his classmates. The bright red strawberries exude an attractive sweetness, which makes the children salivate.Xu Xiaofeng only tasted it to his best friends, and the children who had tasted it would never forget the strawberries, so Xu Ning's strawberries became famous.Those who were greedy asked: "Xu Xiaofeng, do you sell strawberries from your uncle's house?"

Xu Xiaofeng squinted at the big guy. He usually likes to bully his classmates the most, but now he obediently submits to his strawberries: "Not for sale, my uncle said, his strawberries will be given to those who help him dig tree holes." students eat."

"Then let's dig a tree hole for your uncle, can we have strawberries?" asked the big man.

Xu Xiaofeng thought for a while: "I don't know, I'll ask my uncle."

Xu Ning heard his nephew come back and asked, if someone came to help him dig a tree hole, would he give strawberries to eat.Xu Ning looked at his nephew unexpectedly: "Is it your classmate?"

Xu Xiaofeng nodded: "Yes."

Xu Ning said: "Your classmates are only in the second grade. They are too young to be safe. Unless they are students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades." He likes cheap labor very much, but if there is an accident, who will bear it? I can afford it.

"Then I'll ask." It seems that there are really senior students who came to ask yesterday.

Xu Ning said: "If they want to come, let the teachers of your school organize to plant trees here, don't come by yourself." Someone should take the lead, otherwise what if they get lost.

Xu Xiaofeng took the strawberries and left.Xu Ning did not expect that his strawberries would be so popular, so Xu Xiaofeng ran back the next day and said, "Our teacher said that the school will organize everyone to come to my uncle's house to plant trees, and the whole school will come."

"Ah?" Xu Ning was taken aback, "The whole school is here? How many people are there?"

Xu Xiaofeng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Is what you said true?"

Xu Xiaofeng said: "My teacher told me today."

The next day, Xu Ning went to Xu Xiaofeng's school. When he found the principal and told him, he didn't expect it to be true.The principal is a middle-aged male teacher in his 50s, surnamed Li, who taught Xu Ning Chinese back then. He was a little childlike. He heard his grandson tell him that he wanted to go to Xu Xiaofeng’s uncle’s house to plant trees and eat strawberries, and he heard his class Some students also reported on the Internet that they want to plant trees.Looking at the bright spring outside, the principal had an idea, why not take everyone to plant trees for an outing.

Xu Ning naturally welcomed this kind of good thing delivered to his door. In order to have enough strawberries to reward the children, he staggered the time with Wangqing's students. They came on Tuesdays, and the primary school students came on Fridays.He is not afraid of not having enough strawberries, because there are only more than 100 students in the entire village primary school, and the scale of the school is far smaller than before. There are only about [-] students in a grade, and these days are the season when a large number of strawberries are ripe. The strawberries in the light space are enough for them to eat.

In this way, on this Tuesday, Xu Ning’s back mountain ushered in the first batch of student laborers, a group of second-year junior high school students. In fact, most of these children came from the countryside, but now whether they are rural children or urban children, they are basically They all have one thing in common - they have never done farm work.Now the strong laborers in the countryside are all working outside, and their children stay behind with their grandparents in their hometown. The grandparents are old and don't farm much, even if they do, they don't grow much, and they don't let their children work in the fields.So this tree planting activity is quite a new experience for them.

The villagers watched a bus arrive at Xu Ning's house, and then a large group of teenage children got off the bus, and they were very curious. Why did they come here, to go to Xu Ning's house for a spring outing?

After all, it was in the name of a spring outing, so Xu Ning didn't have the nerve to ask people to work right away, but let them play, sheep, mountain mice, greenhouses, back mountains, fields, mountain streams, you are welcome to visit .

Xun Xu originally wanted to hide and herd sheep, but Xu Ning assigned him a task and asked him to be a guide for those students.When the girls saw Xun Xu and Xu Ning, their eyes lit up. There are two handsome guys in such a remote place. Good luck!So there was this scene: many female students surrounded Xun Xu, chattering, asking this and that, very enthusiastic.Xun Xu was almost overwhelmed, he wanted to find a place to escape, but there was nowhere to escape, there were too many people.

Boys don't like handsome guys like girls, but they are happy in the wild, no matter where they are, as long as they are not restrained in school.So when I got out of the car, I wandered around for fun.

The girls gathered around Xunxu, inquiring about the knowledge of raising sheep. Although Xunxu was impatient, he still maintained basic politeness. The girls didn't care about his indifference at all. That's how a man should be, that's cool enough. Enough to pull.And a bold girl took out her mobile phone: "Brother Xun, do you have QQ or WeChat? Let's add one. We can keep in touch in the future."

Without even thinking about it, Xun Xu refused straight away: "No."

The girls all sighed in disappointment, it seems that this cool guy is not that easy to get close to.

Xu Ning introduced various fruit trees and crops to everyone in the back mountain. Compared with searching for the order, he is more like an amiable neighbor and big brother, and he can speak well, which also attracted the attention of many students.

Everyone was having fun, when suddenly there was an exclamation: "Teacher, help!"

Xu Ning was introducing crop knowledge to students when he suddenly heard someone calling for help. He looked up and was startled. A student was hanging from a sycamore tree on the side of the hill, at least eight or nine meters away from the ground. How did he get up? At this moment, his feet were hanging in the air, looking extremely dangerous.

Xu Ning hurriedly called to Xunxu: "Xunxu, come and help."

Wang Qing and another teacher leading the team hurriedly ran under the tree, and a group of people rushed under the tree, looking up at the student hanging from the tree.The sycamore tree was originally a tree with a very straight trunk and very few branches. The bark was so smooth that most people could not climb it. I don’t know how the boy got up. He was hanging on a branch that was as thick as an arm. .

Xu Ning asked, "How did he get up there?"

A student said: "He saw a black cat climbing up a tree, so he wanted to catch the cat and climbed up."

Xu Ning looked up and saw Ah Xuan among the branches and leaves: "Ah Xuan, why did you run up the tree? Come down quickly."

Ah Xuan hesitated for a moment, then meowed towards the bottom. There were so many people, it didn't dare to come down.

Xun Xu ran over from the sheep pen, pushed through the crowd and walked to Xu Ning, Xu Ning hurriedly said, "Xun Xu, can you go up and save him?"

Seeing that the kid couldn't hold on anymore, Xun Xu hugged the tree trunk without taking off his shoes, and climbed up. The people below were amazed, and the girl even exclaimed. She climbed the tree with her bare hands, just like Spiderman , is simply too powerful.

Xun Xu climbed up to the boy's height, hugged the tree trunk with one arm, and wrapped the boy's waist with the other, and led him to the tree trunk: "Okay, you can let go now."

The boy didn't dare to let go: "Woo - can you catch it, I'm afraid of falling."

Xun Xu said: "It's okay, just let go."

The people below were all sweating. Wang Qing and the other teacher who led the team turned pale with fright, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They brought the students out, so what if something happened.Wang Qing said anxiously: "Xu Ning, can Xun Xu catch him?"

Xu Ning had no idea, but thinking of Xun Xu's identity, he said, "It should be fine."

The guy refused to let go, and Xun Xu was a little impatient: "Let go, nothing will happen."

The boy's face was flushed at this moment, and he didn't have much strength in his hands. He couldn't hold on any longer, so he let go of his hands and threw himself towards Xun Xu.The people below all exclaimed, thinking that Xun Xu would also be knocked down, but Xun Xun remained motionless like a gecko. When the boy stopped moving, he hugged the tree trunk with one hand and the boy with the other, and climbed from the tree. slipped off.Once on the ground, the boy collapsed on the ground and wailed loudly.Teachers and classmates surrounded him, comforting and persuading him.

Xun Xu came out from the crowd, Xu Ning stopped there and smiled at him, wiped his palms on his pants, it was covered with sweat: "Thank you, it's lucky to have you here."

Xun Xu grinned, looked up at the tree trunk, Ah Xuan was still on the tree, Xu Ning followed his gaze and looked: "What is Ah Xuan doing up there?"

"Its nest is on top." Xun Xu said.

"Ah? You said that Ah Xuan lives on a sycamore tree?" Xu Ning said in surprise, it is a phoenix tree, and it is a cat. What kind of sycamore tree does it live in?

The boy who just came down from the tree finally came to his senses, wiped away his tears, and said sorry in a low voice, Wang Qing said with a straight face: "Go back and write me a [-]-word inspection, luckily you didn't have an accident today, if you If something happens, we will not be able to clean it up even if we jump into the Yellow River.” Then he grabbed the whole class and taught him a hard lesson, forbidding them to enter the water or climb trees.In the end, these students with excess energy were sent to dig pits and plant trees, so that they would not slip away to do things that violated discipline.

Xu Ning also realized that it is better to use less of this kind of undisciplined cheap labor in the future, and it is difficult to take risks.When everyone buried their heads in digging, Xu Ning took out all the strawberries from his home: "Come on, give everyone some snacks, thank you for your hard work."

When they came to visit today, the strawberry shed was deliberately closed and no one was allowed to enter. A group of children were so envious, they thought it was because they were petty and refused to let them pick it, but they didn't expect that there would be strawberries to eat.Because of the large number of people, each person only received two strawberries and one cucumber.

After a while, someone asked, "Do you still have any strawberries at home?"

Xu Ning said: "There are, but not many, what's wrong?"

Wang Qing cleared his throat: "Boss Xu's strawberry field is limited, and the output is also limited. It's enough for everyone to try something new, enough is enough."

The student said, "I have money, can I buy some?"

Many students echoed: "Yes, yes, we will pay for it ourselves!" Everyone knows what to buy. This strawberry is big and juicy, and it tastes fragrant and sweet. It tastes better than any strawberry I have eaten before.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Not for sale. But it can be paid for by labor. Plant a tree, give two strawberries, and a cucumber."

The students all sighed: "It's really cheating! Only two strawberries can be planted for one tree."

Xu Ning smiled: "My strawberry production is indeed limited, as you have seen, there is only one piece of land. There should be more in the second half of the year, and I will soon plant a large field of strawberries. You can buy strawberries from my family online.” Xu Ning decided to plant strawberries immediately, and he would grow them in large quantities, and then he would be able to sell strawberries, and now he doesn’t need to build a greenhouse to grow strawberries.

The students discussed with each other: "How about it? Digging or not?"

"Dig. The two of us dig one, so that each person can share one strawberry. If two people dig two holes, then each person has two strawberries and one cucumber."

"Well, let's dig together. I dig, you shovel."

Girls are more difficult, they are weak, but they like to eat strawberries more than boys, what should I do, they also want to eat strawberries.Some girls find boys to partner with them, which can save a lot of energy. A typical male and female partner will not be tired from working.If you can't find a male partner, you can make a group of four girls and dig two pits together, so that each of the four can share a strawberry.

Looking at the students who were doing so enthusiastically, Wang Qing couldn't help laughing, and whispered to Xu Ning, "I didn't expect you to be quite picky."

Xu Ning spread his hands: "To be honest, I also feel that I am a bit too much, but I can't help it. Now the temple's pockets are deflated, and I can't be generous. I will plant a large piece of strawberries here in the future, and you can eat it. You can eat it."

Wang Qing waved his hand: "Don't be poor and generous, half a child eats a poor man, you don't have that much to eat."

Xu Ning laughed: "What's the matter? When the strawberries are ripe, they must be picked every day. At most, they can only arrange the amount for one day. They can't stay with me to eat."

Wang Qing gave a thumbs up: "Excellent."

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he went to pick strawberries.Xunxu is providing various guidance and services to the students, such as how deep to dig the pit, how much fermented sheep manure to put in it, and distributing fruit seedlings.The sheep manure was transferred to the hillside by Xunxuan one night, and the students only need to use a shovel to shovel some into the pit.

This batch of newly purchased fruit seedlings included red bayberry, grapefruit, tangerine, kiwi and pomegranate. They bought several hundred plants in total. Xu Ning and Xun Xu planted some by themselves, and most of them were waiting for these students to plant.The bought fruit seedlings were placed in the shade during the day, and at night, Xu Ning put them away in his own space, so that there was no need to worry about the fruit seedlings drying out.

After the scene where Shangshu bravely rescued his classmates just now, everyone realized that Xunxu is actually a very powerful master. Although he doesn't talk much and always has a cool face, he can't stop boys and girls from treating him Therefore, when looking for the order supervisor, these students were very serious.There were also some boys who approached Xun Xutao and asked him if he had practiced kung fu, otherwise how could he have climbed up so easily and saved people so easily.

Xun Xu is naturally happy to be admired and praised by others, but he doesn't like to deal with strangers by nature, so he said lightly: "I have practiced a little bit." What to do if someone is seriously injured, Xu Ning will definitely tear himself apart, so he won't take the risk.

At noon, the students ate their own dry food. Xu Ning went to the paddy field to catch some fish, cooked a large pot of fish soup, went to the village to buy a lot of eggs, boiled a pot of local eggs, and distributed them to each student. A bowl of soup and an egg.After eating, I rested for a while and continued to work. When the work was over at four o'clock in the afternoon, I counted the number in order and planted more than 100 trees.After washing their hands, the students lined up to get strawberries and cucumbers from Xu Ning.

When Xun Xu received the tree species, each of them gave a small piece of bamboo as a voucher, and then when they received the things, they just handed over the small piece of bamboo in their hands to Xu Ning.If Xu Ning hadn't hoarded some strawberries before, he was really worried that there wouldn't be enough to send out, but it was still good, with a little leftover, Xu Ning gave these extra strawberries to Wang Qing and another teacher who led the team.Some naughty students were dissatisfied: "It's great to be a teacher. You don't need to move your fingers, and you can get more strawberries than us!"

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard today. Have you seen this mountain? The whole area is now mine. I plan to plant a few more acres of strawberries. It will probably take less than three months to be ready." It's over, when the time comes, I'll invite everyone to eat strawberries and eat them with open bellies."

"Brother Xu, will you still use us to work?" The mischievous boy began to call him brother.

Xu Ning said: "I invite everyone to eat strawberries, of course there is no need to work."

"Oye! Brother Xu is really loyal, remember, I will definitely come when the time comes."

Xu Ning said: "If you want to come to Tongyi, you can eat with your stomachs open for only one day. You can't come every day."

"Oye! You must come and eat enough." Everyone was thinking about the future, completely forgetting that Xu Ning's strawberries hadn't been planted yet.

Wang Qing looked at a group of smug students, he was really a child, he could be so happy to draw a big cake, and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Okay, everyone get in the car, we are going back. Today is a very meaningful day, except for a certain Aside from a near-never accident, it was a very fulfilling day..."

After sending these students away, Xu Ning also let out a long breath, and looked back at Xun Xu: "It's really hard for you today. Thanks to you."

Xun Xu said, "Why did you give her strawberries?"

Xu Ning scratched his head: "You mean Wang Qing? Thanks to her help today, we have so many free laborers. Send some strawberries to express our gratitude. This is called sophistication."

Xun Xu said, "I haven't eaten yet."

Xu Ning slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot, and I didn't eat it myself." A few days ago, when the strawberries were not very ripe, Xiaofeng and Xiaojing picked one after the other. When there were too many strawberries, I patronized to pick strawberries and store them for today. I didn’t taste any of them. “Let’s try some strawberries when they are ripe tomorrow.”

Only then did Xun Xu's expression soften. According to his observation, Xu Ning probably had some unusual relationship with that female teacher, because when he looked at the female teacher, his eyes were very open and his mood was very calm, and he didn't seem to like him. people that feel.On the contrary, when he was doing double cultivation with him, he could often feel Xu Ning's heart fluttering. Speaking of which, Xu Ning liked him more than that female teacher.

"Meow——" Ah Xuan appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a little leopard who was one size smaller than him.So many people came today, it scared Ah Xuan too, so he took the leopard and ran to its den to rest.He didn't come down from the tree until he heard the car go away and the voices of the people died down.

Xu Ning sat on the chair and waved to the two cats: "Ah Xuan, come!"

Ah Xuan squatted down, stretched out his paws and began to wash his face, the little leopard was more pleasing to his master than Ah Xuan, so he bowed and jumped onto Xu Ning's lap.Xu Ning reached out and touched Xiaobao's chin: "Where have you been today, I haven't seen any of you."

Xun Xu leaned on another chair and yawned. Although he didn't do much physical work today, dealing with such a group of energetic students was more tiring than doing physical work: "Hide on the sycamore tree."

The warm spring sun shone on the two of them, feeling warm, Xu Ning was also infected by Xun Xu, yawned, and said: "I saw a lot of wild flowers blooming in the back mountain forest, I will buy two boxes of bees to raise them That's it, so you can get some honey to eat."

Thinking of the sweetness of honey, Xun Xu licked his mouth: "Okay. I saw bamboo shoots in the bamboo grove yesterday, go pull some and eat them."

"Have the bamboo shoots sprouted?" Xu Ning sat up, startled Xiao Bao, and quickly jumped off its lap, "Let's go and see now. Xiao Bao, are you going?"

Xun Xu got up from the chair, scratched his head: "Okay."

Xu Ning found a basket, took a hoe and handed it to Xun Xu to carry. Little Leopard jumped into Xu Ning's basket and yelled at Ah Xuan, who hesitated for a moment, then jumped in after him.Xu Ning laughed: "The two lazy guys, they are lazy all the way, and I still need to carry them."

Xiaobao hung his head on the edge of the basket, enjoying the shaking of Xu Ning when he walked, like a cradle, while Ah Xuan leaned on the back of the basket very grandly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.Xu Ning looked at the two guys in the basket and said, "I really enjoy it."

Xun Xu turned the handle of the hoe and said to Xu Ning, "Give it to me." He motioned for him to hang the basket on it.

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, and was about to hang the basket up, but the two cats swished suddenly, and they all jumped out of the basket, looking at Xun Xu with lingering fear.

Xun Xu turned his head, and said to the two guys: "You bully the weak and fear the hard, next time you dare to push your nose on your face, be careful!"

Xu Ning laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand still.Xun Xu stretched out his hand and pulled his arm: "Is it so funny?"

Xu Ning said: "Cats and dogs are like children. They need to be pampered and loved. Why are you so fierce?"

Xun Xu snorted: "Then I might as well spoil you."

Xu Ning's face turned as red as a piece of cloth.
