Back home to start a farm

Walking in the car on the way to the village, Qu Chi opened the window, the fresh breeze blowing on his face with the breath of spring, outside the window was full of vitality.

Qu Chi closed his eyes, quietly feeling the vigorous vitality of these plants.

Xishan Village is about half an hour away from Bijiang Town. Qu Chi's home is located at the foot of the mountain deep in the village, so he was directly taken to the door by taxi.There are only a few scattered houses at the foot of the mountain, and most of them are ruined. Among them, the house of Qu Chi's family stands beside the bamboo forest.

A breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves danced and made a cheerful clatter, as if they were coming back late for the welcome song.

After paying the money, Qu Chi got out of the car, took the key and inserted it into the lock hole of the door.The door has been old for a long time, and even opening it takes some effort. You need to hold the copper ring on the door and pull it out, so that the key can be turned smoothly, and the door makes a creaking sound when it opens.

The advantage of living in the countryside is the large size of the house. Qu Chi’s house is a small two-story building. Although the decoration is more than ten years old, it is all in a modern style. The rooms are covered with tiles, and the walls have been repainted a few years ago. There is also a large yard with concrete floors.

His family's house is similar to a courtyard house, facing mountains in the east, the first floor is the living room, and the second floor is the bedroom. Each bedroom has a large balcony where you can see the lush green hills.

The north side is the kitchen, storage room and bathroom. There is a piece of grape vines planted on the wall leading from the gate to the north. There is a well under the vines, and there are a few wicker chairs next to it. It is absolutely beautiful to sit under in the hot summer. Enjoy, just figure out how to dodge the mosquitoes.

On the south side, there is a tall flower bed built with bricks. When the house was built that area was not plastered with cement, the roots of the plants inside can go deep into the ground.There are several pomegranate trees and persimmon trees planted on both sides, all of which grow tall and lush, and can bear a lot of fruit every year.

When they were still living in the village, vegetables that they often ate were grown in the flower beds.Later, Qu Chi went to school to work, and Qu Deyun and Zhang Yun mainly lived in the oil mill in the town, and various flowers that were common in rural areas were planted in the flower beds.Now the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Besides the flowers, there are also lush weeds, waiting for Qu Chi to clean up when he has time.

A row of wild roses was planted at the base of the wall, which Qu Deyun planted for Zhang Yun when the house was just built. Over the past ten years, rose vines have covered the entire wall.Whenever the roses are in full bloom, bees and butterflies are flying among them, which is too beautiful to behold.

Qu Chi’s phone has a lot of photos about his home, the beautiful wall of roses, bunches of purple grapes, the watermelon just out of the well water, and the green hills shrouded in morning mist.

The colleague who shared the rent was also Quchi’s classmate in college. Once he saw these photos and knew that the scenery in the photos was Quchi’s hometown, he kept clamoring for the opportunity to come and play.It's a pity that this guy is also very busy at work, and he often travels on business, so he hasn't been here until now.

Pulling his luggage up to the bedroom on the second floor, Qu Chi threw the dusty sheets and quilt cover into the fully automatic washing machine, then picked up the broom and cleaned the living room and bedroom first.

He didn't go out to the yard until he heard the music from the washing machine, pulled a wire from the wall not far from the living room door, and pulled it to the hook on the opposite wall, and then went to the bathroom to take out the clothes and hang them to dry.

While Qu Chi was busy, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a voice of inquiry: "Xiao Chi, are you home yet?"

Qu Chi opened the door, saw a middle-aged man, and hurriedly said hello: "Second Tang uncle, come in quickly."

The person who came was the Second Tang Bo whom Zhang Yun had called to ask for, the son of Qu Chi's Second Grandpa.Qu Chi's grandfather has two brothers, each of them has more than two children, and they are ranked together according to their birth time.Some of these uncles and aunts died, and most of the rest were out of town. Only the second cousin's family remained in the village.

After the second cousin entered the door, he looked at Qu Chi from head to toe, his dark face was full of concern: "I heard from your father that you had a serious illness outside, how is your health now?"

"Okay, I was too tired during that time, so I came home to rest." Qu Chi smiled and asked the second cousin to come in and sit down.

Seeing Qu Chi's face was rosy, and he walked up the road with his back straight, without any signs of weakness, he felt relieved, and patted Qu Chi's shoulder with his palm: "The young man is in good health, and he will recover after a few days of rest. Your parents I also care about you too much. Call me if you have anything to do during this time, and go to my house for dinner at noon. "

The second cousin has a rough mind, unlike his brother who got Qu Chi's child later, raising a child is completely rough.Seeing that Qu Chi was fine, he didn't take it to heart.

When Qu Chi heard the second uncle's invitation, he felt bad. The second aunt's cooking skills left a deep impression on him when he was young. He didn't want to try again, so he refused: "Second uncle, I just I haven't cleaned up at home yet, so it's just a disturbance at noon."

The more troublesome thing about living in the village is interpersonal communication, but if you need help with anything, you don't worry about lack of staff.

"You didn't have anything at home just after you came back, why did you come back for lunch at noon." The second cousin said with a serious face.

"There are rice and noodles in the house, and all the kitchen utensils are complete, but I didn't buy the vegetables. I have to go to the vegetable garden of your second cousin." Qu Chi said with a smile. After tidying up the vegetable garden, you can eat what you planted.

The second cousin actually knew in his heart that his wife's cooking was not very good. After so many years, he was used to it, and his nephew could understand it if he was not used to it.

So he no longer insisted on asking Qu Chi to come over for dinner, but considering that his nephew was busy, he decided to make another trip by himself: "Don't make another trip, I'll go back and pick some food for you."

The second uncle watched him grow up, Qu Chi was not polite, thanked the second uncle and continued to clean the house.It didn't take long for the second cousin to come over with a full vegetable basket, and two pieces of bacon and sausages in his hand, both of which were cured by himself.

Just as Qu Chi thanked him a few words, the second cousin left in a hurry after receiving a call. He ran a small pig farm in the village. Spring is an important period for pig breeding and epidemic prevention, and he is very busy every day.

After closing the door, Qu Chi came to the kitchen with his things. The bacon and sausages were hung on the wall. He looked through the vegetable basket. In addition to the usual radishes, cabbage, and peppers, there were also a handful of fresh pea sprouts. The tender tips that come out.

In the yard of the oil mill, there is a big flowerpot, which also grows peas.These peas were planted purely for the purpose of eating seedlings, and the sprouts were pinched off before they grew. Qu Chi ate them several times when he lived in the town.

I still eat this today.

After packing up until noon, I find the small rice cooker in the kitchen and put in a small bowl of washed rice. After steaming, there are two bowls of rice.

Peel a few garlic cloves and mash them, wash a few millet peppers and green peppers and cut them off. Put the oil in a hot pan and stir-fry the garlic cloves and peppers. After the aroma is stimulated, add the washed pea sprouts.The seasoning at home was bought during the Chinese New Year, and I haven’t used much. I added oil, light soy sauce, and salt to it, and then poured a little vinegar.

The fried pea sprouts are still green and distinct.

After working for a long time, Qu Chi was already hungry. He took out a bowl of rice from the pot, brought the dishes to the table in the living room, picked up a few pea shoots with chopsticks and put them in the bowl.The pea sprouts still maintain a crisp taste after being stir-fried, and they taste very good after being stir-fried.

But the taste is not as good as what you eat in town.

The cooking is almost the same, the biggest difference is the ingredients, the ones eaten in the town are nourished by the green light spots.

Qu Chi has been researching for a while, and he has basically confirmed that his ability can not only slowly restore life to withered plants, but also make normal plants more vigorous, and can also improve the taste of plants.

Qu Chi tried to emit green light to the plants that had been picked, but the green light only melted into a small amount, and most of it was absorbed by the living plants.

As for whether feeding livestock with nourished plants can improve the taste of livestock, it will be tried slowly in the future.

Judging from the current situation, Qu Chi plans to contract some fields and forests in the village in the future, as well as two fish ponds.One is that he feels more comfortable in the village and can spend more time with his parents.The second is that after eating delicious food, you can clearly feel the difference if you eat ordinary dishes. As a foodie, he is not going to wrong his tongue.

It's just that it's too early to say this idea. He doesn't have much savings in his hand now, so he still needs to plan.

After cleaning the house, Qu Chi spent another two days cleaning up the flower beds in the yard.The inedible or bad-tasting weeds were pulled out, and the edible wild vegetables such as dandelion, shepherd's purse and purslane were all kept.

These growing wild vegetables, as well as the spring bamboo shoots emerging from the bamboo forest, are nourished by the green light spots together with the fruit trees and flowers, and their taste is gradually improving.

Once Qu Chi made dumplings with shepherd's purse and fresh pork, and Qu Chi sent them to the second cousin's house for a while, and they were delicious.The second aunt thought it was because Qu Chi tuned the stuffing well, and she was a little concerned about Yi Qu Chi not coming to dinner at first, but now she is completely relieved.

If she could cook so deliciously, she wouldn't be willing to go to someone else's house.

Qu Chi's life is very leisurely now, he sleeps until he wakes up naturally in the morning, and breathes the fresh air facing the green hills.Three meals a day made of fresh ingredients. After the meal, I took a hoe to cultivate a vegetable garden, planted my favorite vegetables, and watered it when I was free.

There used to be two vegetable gardens next to his house. Although they hadn't been planted for a while and were overgrown with weeds, they were much softer than uncultivated land.

Qu Chi took a hoe to deal with it a little bit, and got enough exercise every day. Although he still ate a lot, he still maintained his figure smoothly, and he had less obvious muscles.

After loosening the soil in the vegetable garden, Qu Chi went to the grocery store in the village to buy all kinds of rapeseed, and planted them in the vegetable garden by area.

All he likes to sow, lettuce, cabbage, lettuce, leek, cucumber, and spring cowpea. Those who are not picky eaters will have such troubles, what should they do if they like too many vegetables and the area of ​​the vegetable garden is not big enough.

After the vegetable garden is cleaned up, the food that has been waiting for a long time can also be picked.After Qu Chi came back, he stared at several elm trees and pagoda trees near his home. The pagoda trees had not left their flowers for a while, and the elm trees were already covered with strings of elm coins.

Elm money is also called elm pod, which is the pod of elm tree.It can be eaten for a short time, and after just a dozen days, it will get old and become less delicious. If you want to eat elm money, you must grasp the time well.

When he was a child, Qu Chi was like the children in the village. When the elm money grew, he climbed up the tree. At that time, he was very careful. He plucked it and stuffed it into his mouth to eat. It tasted sweet and juicy.

Qu Chi didn't climb the tree this time, but took out a long sickle from the house, and gave enough elm money.After washing it with cool well water, Qu Chi tasted it, and the nourished elm money was indeed more delicious.

Putting the picked elm money in a bamboo basket, Qu Chi locked the door and walked to the village entrance. Many villagers greeted him when they saw him on the road. Qu Chi smiled and motioned to the bamboo basket: "I picked some elm money and sent it to my dad." Mom, give it a try."

Walking to the fork in the road outside the village, Qu Chi waited patiently for the bus to arrive, and got on the bus to Bijiang Town.

The bus walks along the path between the farms, and waits for 10 minutes to walk to the provincial road passing through Bijiang Town.

A bad smell came from outside, and the car passed a garbage truck, which was being pulled by a sanitation worker to clear the trash cans on the side of the road.

Qu Chi originally wanted to close the window, but when he looked up, his eyes suddenly froze.

There seemed to be something alive on the garbage truck that was picking up the garbage. Suddenly, two long, original-colored ears popped out, followed by two red eyes.

is a rabbit.

How could it be in the garbage truck?
