The fairy of space also farms

On the city's news that night, there was a report that the leader went to Qianlong Village to inspect. Many villagers in Qianlong Village showed their faces on TV, and Xu Ning even gave a frontal shot.

Evening news at 09:30 at night also made a more detailed report, to the effect that the strawberries in Qianlong Village are in the peak harvest season. They broke through the traditional sales model and focused on ecological experience, attracting tourists from towns and cities to come to the village to pick strawberries , Enjoy the joy of farm life.

The level of photographers is good, and they took very beautiful pictures of the pastoral scenery of Qianlong Village, many of which were taken on the back hill of Xu Ning’s house, such as purple alfalfa, lush orchards, green vegetable fields, The babbling stream, all in all, is very inviting.

Many people in the village saw the two news, and they were all beaming.Although there are not many people who read local news, it does not mean that there are none, and it can be regarded as a kind of advertising benefit.Sure enough, after this news report came out, more people came to visit the village.

This morning, when Xu Ning was eating breakfast at home, he heard swallows chirping and calling vigorously in the yard.Last year, the pair of swallows came back with their offspring. They found that Xu Ning had moved to a new house, and moved their nests to the eaves of Xu Ning's new house.There are two muddy yellow swallow nests built on the white wall, Xu Ning does not dislike it at all, it is a good thing that swallows favor them.When Xu Ning heard the swallows calling, he said, "Will any guests come?"

Just as he was talking, a Jaguar drove up in the yard.The cats and dogs in the house crowded into the corridor to watch the fun. They usually don't bark much during the day, unless they feel that the other party's behavior is not right or sneaky, they will make a sound.

When Xu Ning and Xun Xu heard the movement, they both came out to look. They saw the car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his 40s got out of the car. He opened the back seat of the car and helped a girl wearing a hat to get down. While asking: "Excuse me, is this Boss Xu's house?"

Xu Ning said, "I am, who are you?"

The other party's eye bags were a little swollen, and he looked like he hadn't rested well. He smiled and said, "Boss Xu is so young. I'm from the provincial capital. I have a friend who works as a reporter at Songcheng TV Station. I did an interview in the village and had dinner at your house, and told me that the scenery here is very beautiful, and I must recommend me to come to your house. This is my daughter, whose nickname is Nannan. She is not in good health and has never been to the countryside. Well, I always wanted to see the countryside, so I brought her here today."

Xu Ning guessed that the reporter came with Secretary Shi last time, so he hurriedly greeted the father and daughter: "Welcome, please sit down, brother, what is your name?" He found that the girl's skin was abnormally pale, and her hands and feet were thin. It looks fragile, the sun is very weak now, but the girl still wears a wide-brimmed sun hat, and she doesn't take it off when she gets indoors.

The middle-aged man helped his daughter to sit down, and then said: "Miangui's surname is Liu, Liu Gang."

Xu Ning said, "Brother Liu, have you had breakfast yet?"

Liu Gang quickly said, "We've already eaten."

At this time, Nannan said something in her father's ear. Liu Gang turned around and said to Xu Ning embarrassedly: "Nannan said she was a little hungry. She can eat some more at your house. We will pay for it." The two were eating breakfast on the street, and the daughter didn't want to drink after two mouthfuls of porridge, and now she suddenly said that she was hungry, Liu Gang felt embarrassed, and wanted to ask for something to eat for her daughter.

Xu Ning waved his hand: "No money, you can come in and serve it yourself." The wontons and soup dumpling eaten this morning were stuffed with pork and hung out of chicken soup. They were very delicious.

When Liu Gang was in the midst of wontons, he asked what the fillings were. Zhou Shusen answered them one by one. Liu Gang said in an apologetic voice, "Thank you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My daughter just finished chemotherapy, so many things are taboo. So be more cautious."

As soon as he said it, the three of Xu Ning heard it.Zhou Shusen gave Nannie a sympathetic look, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Liu Gang was holding a bowl of wontons and put a steamed bun on the table: "Ninny, come and eat."

The girl named Nannan kept her eyes on the cats and dogs eating, and when she heard her father calling her, she stood up, walked to the table, raised her head to look at Xu Ning and Xun Xu who were beside the table, and showed a bright smile.Xu Ning felt a little distressed, such a sweet smile came from a seriously ill girl, like an ice flower in the white snow, brilliant and beautiful.

Liu Gang served his daughter carefully for breakfast, and Nannan took a sip of the soup, then smiled: "It's so delicious!"

These two simple words almost made Liu Gang burst into tears. It had been a long time since he heard his daughter say that the food was delicious, so he sniffed: "Eat more fresh food."

Xu Ning and Xun Xu looked at each other, and Xu Ning asked, "How old is my daughter this year?"

Nannan swallowed a cloud seriously and hard: "It's almost fourteen."

"How many years has it been?"

Nannan frowned and pouted slightly: "Sixth grade, I was supposed to be in eighth grade. But I dropped out of school."

Xu Ning stopped asking, and changed the subject, "Brother, there are a lot of delicious and interesting things here. You can go around after breakfast."

Nannan raised her head and looked at Xu Ning: "Can I let those dogs accompany me?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, I just tell them to follow you."

"Thank you brother." Nannan smiled happily, then lowered her head, looked at the soup dumpling, and said, "This is a soup dumpling? I have eaten it before." As she spoke, she took a bite out of the bun skin and began to drink the soup. After drinking all the soup in the steamed stuffed bun in one gulp, he raised his head: "It's delicious."

Liu Gang wiped the soup oil from the corner of his daughter's mouth with a tissue: "Drink slowly."

"Father, this is delicious, you should take a bite too." The girl was so satisfied that her eyes turned into crescent moons.

Liu Gang felt embarrassed: "No, you can eat. Dad is not hungry."

Xu Ning said: "There are still some in the steamer. Brother Liu can try it. It is also rare for us to make soup dumplings. Today you are lucky and happened to catch up."

Liu Gang hesitated for a moment, but went to get one anyway.

Then she smiled and said to her father, "Isn't it delicious, Dad?"

Liu Gang nodded: "It's really delicious."

Both Xu Ning and Xun Xu laughed: "Eat slowly, we are full."

Xun Xu and Xu Ning were standing in the yard, and the father and daughter were eating buns at the table in the house.Xun Xu asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "It's probably a malignant tumor." Most diseases that require chemotherapy are cancers.

"Is it serious?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Very serious."

"will die?"

Xu Ning paused: "Maybe, maybe not, it depends on the treatment."

At this time, Liu Gang came out after eating the soup dumplings. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper towel: "Xiao Fang said that your food is very delicious. He recommended that I come over to try it. I didn't expect it to be true. Thank you for your hospitality."

Xu Ning waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just two buns."

Liu Gang sighed softly: "My daughter has leukemia, and it has been two years since she was diagnosed with this disease. Our family is not short of money, but it can't bring us health and happiness. The child hasn't had a good meal for a long time. It's time for dinner, and I always say that my mouth is tasteless, and it's the first time I heard her say that the food is delicious." Liu Gang took a long breath when he said this.

"Did you have surgery?" Xu Ning asked.

Liu Gang said: "I didn't have an operation, but I'm undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The child has dropped out of school since he got sick, and he's been depressed all day long, worrying me and her mother to death."

Xu Ning nodded sympathetically: "It's not easy for you."

Liu Gang said: "I should have taken her out for a walk a long time ago. I was always worried that the outside environment was not clean enough and that she would be infected. You can understand the painstaking efforts of being a parent."

Xu Ning nodded: "You should take her to relax. A happy mood is good for physical recovery. Take her to pick strawberries later, children like this."

"Do you grow strawberries at home?"

Xu Ning said: "My strawberry seedlings have just been planted, and it will take several months to pick them. There are many strawberry fields in the village. My family has others. After you have picked strawberries, you can come to my house to pick some vegetables and fruits and eat them back. "

Liu Gang nodded: "Then can we have lunch at your house today? We will pay for it."

Xu Ning originally wanted to say that he didn’t need money, but for no reason, he was too enthusiastic, which scared people away from coming next time, so he said, “Okay, what do you want to eat and what you can’t eat, tell our chef Asen One sound."

"it is good."

The girl over there had already finished eating the wontons and steamed stuffed buns, and even drank the soup. She wiped her mouth in satisfaction: "Father, it's delicious."

Liu Gang said: "We'll have lunch at Brother Xu's house at noon, and we'll go pick strawberries later."

"Okay, can I take the dogs?"

Xu Ning said: "You can pick strawberries first, and then come back to play with the dogs after picking strawberries." Xu Ning doesn't want to let his dog run around.

"Okay then. Let's go strawberry picking."

The father and daughter threw the car in Xu Ning's yard and went to pick strawberries.Xu Ning and Xun Xu went to work. When Chun Geng was busy, many things had to be planted, and he didn't have much free time.This year, he rented a two-acre paddy field next to his family's paddy field to grow lotus root and water chestnut. Xu Ning also plans to plant half an acre of water chestnuts.He really wanted to throw some lotus seeds in the weir pond to see if lotus flowers could grow, but he thought about the depth of the weir pond and how many meters the lotus leaves would have to grow to get out of the water. It was too embarrassing for others, so he gave up.

Since the Chinese New Year, Xu Ning’s family has had many hens brooding. He picked out large fresh eggs with very good air chambers, 24 to [-] per nest, and hatched chicks for the hens.Up to now, several broods of chicks have hatched. They are yellow and tender little balls, chirping and screaming softly. They are very cute. The hatching rate is quite high. More than one or two will not survive.

This year Xu Ning plans to raise [-] to [-] chickens, and plans to move the chicken coops to the side of the sheep pen. Then the chickens will be put directly on the grass, where they will eat grass and insects. They will be real grass chickens.

In the middle of the morning, Xu Ning found that Liu Gang's father and daughter had appeared on the back hill of their home. The daughter's face was flushed with excitement, and the little girl was like a budding flower bud, extraordinarily beautiful.She shouted from afar: "Brother Xu, I finished picking strawberries, where is the dog?"

Xun Xu called the little wolf and tiger over, and told them to follow this little sister to play, don't be too noisy, be quiet, and be obedient. The two German shepherds wagged their tails and walked obediently to her feet.Nannan looked at the two big dogs excitedly, and stretched out her hand to touch them: "Can I touch them?"

Liu Gang said worriedly: "Ninny, don't touch it, be careful of germs." His family used to raise a lot of animals, but when his daughter got sick, the doctor said they couldn't keep small animals, so they sent them away.

Nannan's little face collapsed, she pursed her mouth, and protested with some disappointment: "They shouldn't have anything to do with each other."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "You don't need to touch them, just let them play with you."

The disappointed expression on Nannan's face subsided a little, and then she followed Xu Ning to visit the farm. Seeing so many bleating sheep, the little girl's eyes lit up: "There are so many goats, and there are such small lambs over there." , so cute, I really want to hug it."

Xu Ning said: "When my daughter recovers from her illness, you can play with them."

Nannan's dark brown eyes stared at Xu Ning: "Can I really get better?"

Xu Ning laughed: "Of course, my daughter will get better faster if she believes that she will get better."

Nannan lowered her head: "When I was in the hospital, I often saw children living in the same ward disappear. I knew where they went. I was also very scared. One day I went there and never came back." A crystal teardrop fell down and landed on Xiaohu's hair. Xiaohu raised his head and looked at his daughter obediently.

Xu Ning comforted her with a smile and said, "No, aren't you still fine now? You can still see the sun, smell the fragrance of flowers, and feel the wind. This shows that the current life is very real and beautiful. Cherish the present, Grasp what can be grasped, this is the true meaning of life.”

Nannan raised her head to look at Xu Ning, her eyelashes still had tears, but the corners of her mouth were already curled up: "Brother Xu, are you a teacher?"

Xu Ning laughed: "I used to teach, but now I don't teach anymore, and concentrate on being a farmer."

There was envy in her eyes: "If there is such a beautiful farm, I would also like to be a farmer."

"No, you'd better put away your romantic feelings. It's good to come to our countryside to visit and play. This farm is not so easy to do. Otherwise, why don't your parents run a farm? Farmers are very hard, especially when they arrive In summer, when the leaves are drying, we still have to work in the fields, and when the phrase 'sweat dripping down the soil' becomes realistic, I feel that it is not beautiful at all." Xu Ning smiled so that his teeth glistened.

Nannan said seriously: "Even if that's the case, I want to experience it."

"You are welcome to come to the farm to experience it then." Xu Ning giggled.

"Okay, if I get better, I will definitely come," Nanna looked down at the young shoots in the soil at her feet, "What kind of seedlings are these?"

Xu Ning said: "This is watermelon. You can eat it when you come in summer. My watermelon is sandy and sweet. I guarantee you will want to eat it again."

"I believe." Nannan smiled until two shallow dimples appeared on her face, a gust of wind blew her hat off, and then revealed her bald little head, her smiling face suddenly became very awkward, Looks like she's about to cry.

Xu Ning helped her chase the hat back and put it on for her: "It's okay, hair is like withered grass, and it will continue to grow back when spring comes. When your hair grows back, your illness will be cured gone."

Nannan noticed that Xu Ning's eyes were very sincere, without any hint of ridicule, so she pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you brother."
