Back home to start a farm

The few people who were pointed out by Qu Chi about stealing chestnuts were a little guilty, and finally apologized to Qu Chi briefly, but there was still complaints about Qu Chi in their expressions, and then rushed away.

Not long after running, there was a voice: "Just a few chestnuts, as for?"

Still blame me?Blame me for not giving you the chestnuts, right?

Qu Chi laughed angrily when he heard this.

What is even more irritating is that although their actions can be regarded as stealing, chestnuts are not worth much, and it is really hard to ask for anything.

No matter how much these chestnuts are worth, Qu Chi doesn't like the behavior of these people anyway, so this matter is written down like this, and his family's things are determined not to be sold to these people.

Qu Chi had a stern face, thinking of it with some vindictiveness.

It's a coincidence, after all, the ingredients of Qu Chi's family are the most famous in Xishan Village.

Qu Chi sat at the door when he got home, and after a short stay, he saw those five people approaching from afar, laughing and laughing, pointing at the chicken farm and all kinds of vegetables and grains, as if the chestnut matter was an insignificant little thing. The episode didn't affect their mood of playing at all.

"I'm sorry, I don't sell things from my house to you." Qu Chi walked over and said slowly.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shi heard the movement and came over and asked, and many eyes were cast on this side.

"Picking our chestnuts was met by me, and after I pointed it out, I still thought I was making a big fuss." Seeing the faces of these people as if they had knocked over the palette, Qu Chi said quietly.

There were still people who wanted to refute, and noticed the gazes around them before making a move, then looked at Qu Chi's expression, and swallowed the words they hadn't said yet resentfully.

Speaking of this matter, they are still at fault, and if there is a real trouble, it will be them who will be ashamed.

Watching the figures of these people leaving in embarrassment, Qu Chi's anger dissipated. He looked back at Qin Shi beside him, and suddenly said, "You don't think I'm too narrow-minded, do you?"

"No." Qin Shi shook his head slightly, "You punished them very lightly." It's just that they are not allowed to buy things, and no one else knows.

"I specially saved those chestnuts for the two of us to eat, and I don't know how many are left." Qu Chi was still a little unhappy thinking about this.

Qin Shi's gaze changed slightly, and he looked in the direction where those people left, causing a chill to rise up behind them.

"So before being picked by others, let's pick chestnuts tomorrow."

"Okay." Qin Shi lowered his head slightly in response.

The chestnut incident reminded Qu Chi that this kind of thing cannot be done on the basis of other people's self-awareness. When the chestnuts are ripe, they are quickly picked from the tree.

After so many days, the villagers who came to work were used to the work, and they could finish things according to the plan without the company of Qu Chi and Qin Shi.

So the next morning, Qu Chi got up and prepared the tools for picking chestnuts, but he had to arrange everything before going out.

When it was just dawn, the village chief's son, Qu He, drove over in a pickup truck.

The amount of things that need to be transported to the vegetable market for sale in the village has increased a lot, and Quhe is planning to find another person in the village. He just thinks that the busy days of autumn in the past are about to enter winter, so he struggles to drag it until the end of the day. next spring.

Qu Chi grows one crop per mu of land, but the output is much higher than in previous years, so there are more things to sell without changing the name.

No matter how many or how many, all the things sold by the small boss must be the first to be robbed in the store.

"Brother Qu Chi, the new vegetable market is about to be built. The town has reserved a lot of land for our village. You should go there on the day it is officially opened. Many old customers are thinking about you. Where's the little boss?" Qu He moved the goods into the car, and wiped the mixture of sweat and mist from his forehead with his hands.

"Okay, let me know when the time is fixed, and I'll make time ahead of time." Qu Chi agreed briskly.

Autumn is the harvest season, and it is the busiest time. Sweet potatoes are made into sweet potato starch. The next step is to make vermicelli and vermicelli.

All of these need to be boiled with pots. Qu Chi's family didn't have ground pots, so he simply borrowed old and relatively small stoves from the village and set them up in the yard one by one.

There is still a lot of dry firewood piled up outside the yard, and I don't know if there is enough for it. When the vermicelli and vermicelli are finished, I will use these stoves to steam the sweet potatoes and dry the sweet potatoes, so this time Qu Chi is going to bring some dry firewood down the mountain.

After finishing all the preparations, the workers came over one after another. After Qu Chi asked Uncle Yongqiang and Uncle Ertang to watch, he and Qin Shi drove a tricycle to Shuanghump.

The weather turned cooler, and the trees on the mountain were still lush and green, but there were many new dead branches and leaves on the ground.

The tricycle drove up the mountain for a short distance, and the sidewalk that came out was a bit too narrow.Qu Chi and Qin Shi got out of the car together, stepping on the dead branches and leaves with a crackling sound, forming a unique background music together with the sound of wind and birdsong.

Neither of them was in a hurry, looking at the surrounding environment while walking.There are not many trees at the foot of the mountain, mostly various shrubs and weeds. The surrounding forests only increase after walking forward, but they are still relatively sparse.

Qu Chi was very familiar with the inside, looking at the sign hanging on it, he led Qin Shi into the forest, turned around, and finally found a chestnut tree.

Qu Chi saw the chestnut balls hanging on the branches from afar, and said with a smile, "It's all cracked, you can pick it."

When he got close, Qu Chi couldn't stop laughing. He saw a lot of chestnut thorns on the ground, and there were traces of broken bricks. It seemed that the gang did it yesterday.

At a glance, there are not thorny shells, and the more Qu Chi thought about it, the more distressed he became, and the anger that had subsided now reappeared a little.

"Move to the back, don't get hit." Qin Shi grabbed Qu Chi's wrist and gently pulled it back.

Qu Chi's attention immediately shifted to his arms, and following Qin Shi's strength, he took a few steps back, only to hear the knocking sound of the bamboo pole after dancing.

Turning his eyes to the tree, there was already a chestnut ball on the ground, Qu Chi stopped thinking about it, picked up the bamboo pole in his hand and started to beat it.

The chestnut balls hanging from the tree fell one after another and hit the thick pile of fallen leaves without even a sound.

At the beginning, it was easy to hit when there were many chestnut balls, but when there were fewer chestnut balls, it took a lot of effort to hit them again.

Qu Chi looked up at the position of the chestnut ball, stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, which was a little sore, and moved his feet again, not paying attention to the stones next to his feet. look up.

"Be careful." Qin Shi, who was standing not far away, heard the voice and looked over and saw this scene.

Feeling a force in his waist to help him up, Qu Chi was already standing on the ground before he recovered his senses.

It feels right to be down to earth, Qu Chi thought with lingering fear.

If the whole person fell on his back just now, let alone his arms and legs would hurt for a few days, if there was a stone or something where his head fell, it would be miserable.

"Why do you fall every time you pick chestnuts?" Qin Shi pulled Qu Chi to sit and rest on a stone a little farther away, and used a bamboo pole to pull two chestnut balls that had just been smashed.

Qin Shi's words evoke Qu Chi's childhood memories, when the village was still lively and the farmland at the foot of the mountain was full of crops.

Little Qu Chi, together with other children in the village, followed the adults to the chestnut tree on the mountain.There are always chestnuts, even if the adults don't want them, there are not many chestnuts that every child can get.

Xiao Quchi waited for the adults to peel off the thorn shells, and then worked hard to make chestnut kernels from the distributed chestnuts, and then put one portion in a small pocket, and ran down the mountain quickly with the other in his hand, wanting to have nothing to lose. Brother Qin Shi who came to taste this year's fresh chestnuts.

At that time, the mountain road was even more difficult to walk. Xiao Quchi only looked down at the road and forgot to look ahead.It happened that the trees blocked his little figure, so when Xiao Quchi ran out from the mountain road, he bumped into the walking tractor going vertically.

The moment he hit it, the chestnut in his hand was scattered all over the ground, Xiao Quchi felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he was sitting on the ground, and Qin Shigang, who was also young, ran to him and was calling him anxiously.

Fortunately, what Qu Chi happened to encounter was a wooden cart pulled by a tractor, and there was nothing loaded on the cart, so there was no serious accident.

The biggest damage was only the scattered chestnut kernels, which were trampled to pieces by the anxious adults and fell into the mud. Xiao Quchi was still sad for a long time after seeing it.

"This time the chestnuts haven't had time to be removed yet." Qin Shi picked up a stone, smashed the thorn shell with two forceful strokes, and then took out the chestnuts inside with his gloves.

"And I haven't dropped it this time." With a smile, Qu Chi took the chestnut from Qin Shi's hand, and gently cut it with the scissors he brought, peeling off the chestnut shell and a thin layer of film, revealing the yellow chestnut kernel .

The two of them smashed the dial one by one, and they cooperated very tacitly. Qu Chi's hand soon became too tight.

"Chestnut kernels are also good, eat two first and make them later." Qu Chi said, putting the hand holding the chestnut kernels in front of Qin Shi, and when Qin Shi took off his gloves, he poured half of the chestnut kernels into his hand .

After Qin Shi took it, Qu Chi threw the peeled chestnut kernels into his mouth.

Raw chestnuts and cooked chestnuts are two different flavors. Unlike the softness of cooked chestnut kernels, raw chestnut kernels are very brittle, harder than apples, and softer than raw sweet potatoes.

Fresh chestnuts taste sweeter after drying for a few days, but this kind of chestnuts that have just been picked from the tree have more moisture.There is a creaking sound when the teeth rub against the chestnut kernels, and the mouth is full of sweet taste without any astringency, which reminds people of happy childhood.

All the chestnut balls that could be knocked down were packed in burlap bags, and the two of them slowly pulled them down the mountain with their hands.

When you are near the car, pick up some dead branches on the ground, tie them together with ropes and put them on the car.

Qu Chi took the posture seat and asked loudly, "Is it done?"

"All right."

"I'm going back, I'll make some sugar-fried chestnuts to eat."

As soon as the accelerator is stepped on, the handlebar is turned, and the tricycle whizzes forward.
