Love delays my farming

"Grandpa and grandma, the village chief said that the mountain wall on the road leading to the outside has slipped and collapsed, so let's send out a labor force. I'll go over and have a look." Xilihulu finished the porridge and ate a finger cake, Chu Yao picked up the shovel and planned to set off.

"I'll go," Sister Xi finished off the cake in two or three mouthfuls, stood up on the table and said, "I'll go, I'm stronger than you."

"Oh, Xiaoxi, don't go, you don't go, the water and mud are dirty. Just let Yang Yang go over and have a look." Grandma Chu hurriedly stopped her. After all, they were all here to play, and it was fine to help with work in the mountains. How can they be allowed to grow labor?

"Grandma is fine, so I'll just go out for a stroll." Wang Xishan smiled and picked up a shovel, and directed, "You guys stay and take care of grandparents, you know?"

Others: ...

Chu Yao endured a smile and said, "That's all right, sister Xi, come with me. Brother Fei, help me go to the bird farm and take a look at them, feed them, and give Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei something to eat. Brother Hu Ying , can you go to the field and have a look? The grain will be harvested in a few days, I am worried that the water in the field will be soaked. Brother Mengmeng, you..." When he said this, he saw Long Jiu next to him. I changed what I wanted to say, "Can you go with Xiao Jiu to help feed the pigs and sheep? Now even if the rain stops, the outside is probably very muddy, and there is no way to let it out."

Long Jiu was finally assigned a task, his face softened a little, and he said slowly: "Go, be careful on the road, I am at home."

Chu Yao: ...

Although, it is strange to say this sentence!

Although it rained overnight, the water in the lake did not rise much.The mountain spring and stream on the mountain became more turbulent, rolling gravel and soil into the lake with a clatter, and disappeared.

Chu Yao dragged the rope and took the boat from one side to the other. There were already a lot of people gathered in Taoyuan Village, many of them came from nearby villages, and men and women who could handle it were all carrying things. Come in a hurry.

This way out of the mountain is their life, and they can't live without it.

Although some trees were planted on the mountain, they could not withstand the heavy rain.The mountain walls next to some mountain roads are too steep, and the roots of the trees failed to grasp the soil, and were rushed to the road by the heavy rain.At a glance, there are two places where the landslides have collapsed, and I don't know how many are hidden on the mountain road in the distance.

When Village Chief Kang saw Chu Yao coming, he was still talking to the big girl behind him. He didn't say much, but said: "This kind of thing happens once every few years, but the villages next to the road will be cleared." Road. The town will also send engineering teams to help.”

"Can't fix it?" Chu Yao stretched his neck and looked forward. Kang Huiguo was directing a group of strong laborers to drag books from the side of the road to the other side of the slide, so that two slides could be cleaned at the same time.

Village Chief Kang shook his head and said: "There is a way to repair it, but it needs money. I asked, and there are millions of dollars to repair the reinforced concrete fence next to the mountain wall. That kind of fence is not easy to fix, so it needs to be professionally built. The town is not rich enough to allocate such a large amount of money in one go. Now everyone is trying to plant rattan or trees and shrubs with long roots on the mountain, and it has played a lot in the past few years."

"As long as it works, I'll look back and see if there are any instant vines that can be planted. After a few years, I don't have to worry about taking root on the mountain wall." Chu Yao thought idea.

The two of them chatted and came to the place where the landslide collapsed. All that fell on the road was gravel and soil. There were also two unlucky trees, one of which was half dead, and its roots had long been exposed to the outside.

A group of people first cleaned up the dirt and stones, and then dismembered the tree on the spot.Either transport it back for firewood, or push it to the cliff slope below the road.With a lot of people and a lot of power, the two places were almost cleaned up in two hours.Among them, Wang Xishan was in the limelight. She had great strength and was faster than the two big men in clearing the stones. Many people stared at her.

"No wonder you brought her here," Village Chief Kang clicked several times, "This is the female general."

Wang Xishan laughed out loud after hearing this.She still has some reservations when she comes out this time. After all, she can't go too far. Being regarded as a strange person is prone to accidents.And she just showed this little hand, at first the few bastards who were thinking of approaching her all quit, and the bird quietly hid aside.

Someone rode a motorcycle and walked forward for a while, and found another slide.Those with motorcycles went there first to clean it up, and the others used local materials, cut some bamboo and rammed it to the slumped place to block the fine falling rocks and soil.It's just that bamboo is not a long-term solution after all. If you want to stabilize the mountain wall, you still have to find a way.

It's all right here, Chu Yao walked back slowly with a shovel on his shoulders, talking to Village Chief Kang while walking, "...That's the thing, I'm thinking about trying to make a batch, I'll hatch them and raise them until you're half-grown Take it to continue to raise, and if you have a male, you can exchange it with me for a female, but you pay for the food yourself, and I sell it for [-] cents, and I get [-]. If it can really be done, it can be regarded as an income anyway. When I get up, I will exchange quail with you for feed, or use money to recycle it. When next year, any of you want to hatch by yourself, or you can come to me to buy seedlings."

"This is a good thing!" Village Chief Kang's eyes lit up. "At the beginning, I thought I was afraid that you would hatch too many eggs. If you don't lay eggs in winter, it will be difficult to clean up. If you can sell them directly like this, it doesn't matter. The county town The buildings are all heated, so you don’t have to worry about freezing in winter. As long as our village still burns kangs, it’s absolutely no problem for a family to raise a hundred of such a big thing.”

Chu Yao nodded and said: "Anyway, if you sell it, you will share the money with me, and continue to get the seedlings from me. If you can't sell it, return the quail to me. I will count the feed money for you and help me raise it."

Village Chief Kang said with a smile: "Even if you can't sell it, it's only a feed money, and you can still eat eggs later. The big deal is that you won't lose money if you eat meat during the Chinese New Year. Don't worry."

Chu Yao said: "That's okay, I hatched a few hundred more eggs this time, and try to raise fifty of them in one family. I ordered a bamboo egg cage with Uncle An, and the cage will also be sold for money."

Village Chief Kang said: "If we can make it decent, we can also learn how to make cages. But this thing has a long cycle. After hatching and raising it for forty days, this summer will be over."

Chu Yao smiled and said: "So let's try it first. As long as the house is warm, the quails will lay eggs. Our quails are also beautiful, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Later, you can count the number of people for me and find a diligent one. If you have quails There is no reason to lose it, I will not be able to give it in the future."

"Don't worry, if you don't care about making money, why should you care?" Village Chief Kang laughed.Although no one has raised this quail before, it should be similar to raising chickens, and it doesn't take up much space.Looking back, I bought ten of them for a few hundred dollars.Fifty pieces is more than 1000 yuan! People in the city look down on 1000 yuan, but in their village, it is indeed a good income.

When Chu Yao returned home, it turned out that Hu Qing was cooking in the kitchen.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu were sitting under the eaves, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, looking into the kitchen with a smile.Beside them, Lin Feiyuan was busy choosing vegetables, and there was a pot of freshly picked gourds and loofahs beside them.

"Xiaoxi, Yangyang, are you back?" Seeing Grandpa Chu, he quickly stood up and asked, "You didn't bump into each other, did you? How's it going over there?"

Chu Yao smiled and put the shovel down against the fence, and said: "It was slippery in the middle of the night when the rainstorm blocked the road. Just clean it up. Usually, if it rains on a cloudy day, no one goes out, for fear of hurting people. I just look at it." Some places are too steep, and the roots of the trees can't hold the soil. If the rain is too heavy, the soil will be washed down. Think about it later. I have to call the town. It works, the quail they ordered will take a few days."

When Boss Zhou and Uncle Song heard that something happened on the way, they were more reasonable and told him not to worry, it would be a few days.

After Hu Qing finished cooking, Chu Yao discovered that they had stewed a pot of loach with leeks and a large pot of crayfish.I also fried a gourd with sliced ​​meat, and made an egg drop soup with loofah.There are meat and vegetables, and the taste is quite good.

"They were all caught in the field, and there were quite a lot of them. They were all fat. I saw that there were still eels, but they had to be caught in cages, or after the rice was harvested." Hu Qing took a bite of a loach, peeled it The crayfish's hand speed is also not fast.And he was very sensible, first peeled a plate of lobster meat for Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu, and then let him eat it.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu's smiles were all blooming, this big table was like raising a group of grandchildren, lively and caring.

Ying Wei ate the loach leisurely, and shared a few mouthfuls with his two cats.He said: "I see that the rice is almost ready. After harvesting the rice, we can plant another wave, which will catch up with the harvest at the end of autumn. Before the end of autumn, we will clean up a few more fields and plant soybeans and winter wheat. The spring wheat planted before has to wait. .” After all, he is a mountain god, and he knows the growth cycle of plants best.Now that there are so few things in the field, he doesn't need to bother at all, "By the way, the peaches should be harvested. I went up the mountain to look today. A lot of them were knocked down by the rain, and some were eaten by birds. I picked up all the ones on the ground, put the good ones in the pool to freeze, and fed the broken ones to pigs and cows.”

"Brother Ying!" Chu Yao immediately picked up the cup, "You are too good, drink one and drink one."

Long Jiu enjoyed Chu Yao helping him peel the shrimp while drinking beer slowly.After Yingwei finished speaking, he said: "I caught two catfish, and grandpa said to keep them in the tank for a day, and make catfish pots for tomorrow night."

"Brother Xiao Jiu!!" Chu Yao clinked glasses with Long Jiu again, clinked glasses with today's cook and helper, and finally had a drink with Sister Xi.After a few glasses of cold beer, the exhaustion brought by the summer work was swept away, "It's really great to have friends like you!"

"I'll just say we like doing farm work."

"That's right, thanks to Lord Jiu for having such a good place for us to come."

"Hey, what are you talking about, drink, drink, grandpa and grandma, I respect you too!"

The others either sent the compliment to Long Jiu or changed the subject.Just kidding, Zhu Jiuyin is not easy to get along with, making Chu Yao treat them too well is just asking for trouble.

"It's all thanks to the ninth master, Yang Yang, drink more with your ninth brother." Wang Xishan pushed Chu Yao's arm with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, you will lose your temper again, and you have to coax."

Chu Yao: ...

Although, this sentence sounds a bit strange!
