Love delays my farming

Village head Kang said that after a few days in the sun, the pigsty would bring the pigs, sheep, etc. they needed, and then went back with a red face after drinking.

They left, and the yard was quiet again.After a while, Xiaobai led Big Fatty and Xiaopang out to beg for food.I don't know where they hid just now, but now I know they are meowing around Grandma Chu.

In the backyard, when Kang Yongshun lived here, he opened a vegetable field and planted some vegetables, except Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, which grew quickly, and now there are bunches of them growing.Grandpa Chu went to weed the vegetable field and took a look at his corn field.

Chu Yao helped grandma freeze the remaining buns in the freezer, cleaned up the yard, moved a chair under the wall for Long Jiu to sit there and bask in the sun, and then thought about paving a way out of the yard.

Because the yard was closed later, the area is quite large, but it is all mud inside, and it will be muddy when it rains a little.

Chu Yao felt that since he had already started, it was a bit thin to just pave the way.He thought that if such a large yard was left bare, it would not look good, so it would be better to build a few trellises, and then grow some climbing plants such as grapes and loofahs in the future.

There are only some leftover stones left as materials, but the most important thing here is stones. If you go to the creek and feel around, they are all beautiful round stones, which are the best for paving.

But if you build a scaffolding...

Chu Yao took out his mobile phone and started searching the Internet to see if there were any suggested scaffolding tutorials.

Long Jiu sat on the chair and looked at Chu Yao quietly. After a while, Xiaobai and the others were also full, and walked to Long Jiu's side, meowing softly.Long Jiu lowered his hand to touch it, and took Xiao Bai into his arms to play with. Fatty and Xiaopang looked hot, and jumped on Long Jiu's lap, and burrowed into his palm.

"You are quite popular with cats." Chu Yao recorded some skills on the Internet, and looked up just in time to see the scene of the beauty hugging the cat.The sunshine in the spring afternoon was warm and soft, casting a downy light on the people in the corner.At first glance, it looks like an oil painting, so beautiful.

Long Jiu chuckled, curled up his fingers and scratched Xiaobai's chin a few times, and asked, "You don't rest? Is there any work I can help with?"

Chu Yao looked at the other party's eyes closed, and quickly said: "No, no, just sit down and sleep if you're tired. I'm going to the back mountain to chop some wood and bamboo or something." After finishing speaking Then he went to the storage room, took the machete, carried the bamboo basket on his back, took a bundle of ropes, called Xiaohuang Xiaohei, and went to the back mountain with great interest.I saw Grandpa Chu in the backyard and said hello, "Grandpa, hurry up and rest, and wake up before you wake up."

Grandpa Chu waved his hand, threw the weeds aside, rubbed the mud on his fingers, and then walked to the sink to wash his hands.Most of the fish kept in the pond were killed and frozen, and the few remaining alive were also kept in wooden barrels.I wanted to raise it in this pool before, but I was afraid that some weasel and other wild animals would come and make trouble at night.

The old man washed his hands, entered the house through the back door, drank a few sips of warm water before he saw Long Jiu at the door.He was silent for a moment, then asked: "Well, Xiao Jiu, why don't you go to rest? Shall I help you upstairs?"

Long Jiu looked back and said, "No need, grandpa, you can go to rest, I'm here to bask in the sun, it's very comfortable."

"That's fine," Grandpa Chu looked again before going back to his room.

Long Jiu stopped when he heard the movement in the room, and then said softly: "He seems to have no memory of me at all..."

Xiaobai raised his paw and scratched his face, and said: "After all these years, when he cut off branches for the sake of the wilderness, his mind and soul were damaged a lot, it's normal if he can't remember."

He looked up at Long Jiu and asked, "Is it still impossible to open your eyes?"

Long Jiu shook his head and said: "No, although the aura is getting stronger here, it can't last a few breaths, and it's powerless to continue. It's better to wait until the aura is balanced."

Xiaobai sighed, and said, "I just heard that it's a bit messy down there, and it's still not safe without you to take care of You Ming."

Long Jiu tilted his head, seemed to think of something, just snorted coldly, and said: "If you want me to say that those two should also take a good rest, let's make a mess, let them make trouble for themselves. If it wasn't for them... ..."

"Jiuye..." Xiaobai couldn't help but sighed again, "It's just following the way of heaven, and it has left us with such a place, so we can still gain a foothold. Thinking about the rest of the Great Wilderness, there were so many powerful ancient gods back then. died?"

Long Jiu became quiet, his ears moved, and he said with a chuckle, "He's chopping bamboo."

Bamboo grows very fast. If it is allowed to grow, not only will it die in pieces because it is too dense, but also because it spreads too fast, the bamboo roots will damage the house.During this time, the bamboo shoots have sprouted and are no longer hidden in the soil.Chu Yao chopped a basket of bamboo shoots, picked a few old bamboos in a lush place, trimmed branches and vines for some crooked-neck trees, and cut down a dead tree.

There is also spring water on the mountain, which is sweet and delicious.Chu Yao took a few sips and wiped the sweat off his brow, then looked down the mountain.There were some peach and pear trees planted in Qianshan before, and now they are blooming.The pink and white are next to each other, adding a touch of color to the green mountain.

Kang Yongshun said that many fruit trees were planted on this mountain, and he brought his children to pick them in autumn, but because it was too difficult to get out of the mountain, they could not be sold or eaten.Moreover, many children followed their adults to work and study outside the mountains. The village became quiet and no one picked the fruits.

In addition to peaches and plums, there are also common fruit trees in the north such as walnuts, persimmons, jujube trees, chestnut trees, and hawthorns. They are all old trees that are more than ten years old and have deep enough roots even if no one cares about them. Can bear a tree of fruit.

Because no one went up the mountain, the road leading up the mountain was blocked by weeds. If he wanted to go to the mountain to see the situation, he had to open the road first.

It's a difficult thing to do...

It took Chu Yao two trips back to transport all the chopped bamboo and bamboo shoots back to the yard.Grandma Chu had already woken up, she found a big pot and started peeling bamboo shoots, planning to cook a stewed chicken with bamboo shoots and a fish in the evening.

"There is another dead tree, it must be old. But the root of the tree is broken and the whole tree is dead." Chu Yao wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Grandpa, you have to go and help me."

"I'll go too." Long Jiu stood up and said, "Although I can't see, I have more strength anyway."

Chu Yao wanted to refuse, but Grandpa Chu said: "It's okay, I can't see with my eyes, but we can't be depressed in our hearts. If you are young, you should move more. Walk around, follow along. That... I want to support you You?"

Long Jiu smiled and said: "No need, I can just follow your footsteps, and remind me if the road is too difficult."

Grandpa Chu tsk-tsk praised: "You said you child, you have trained your ears." In the morning, he found that the young master was helped by someone when he got on and off the boat, and he usually followed them Walking behind is like walking on flat ground.

Long Jiu just smiled but didn't answer, then turned his face to look at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao: ...

He really felt that this young master could actually see things!Otherwise, if he didn't say anything for a long time, how would he know where he was standing? ?Or, is this Young Master Long actually a martial arts master?

He coughed in embarrassment, and said: "Okay, then you can help carry the tree trunk later, the firewood at home is not enough."

The dead tree was growing on the hillside. It may have been robbed of nutrients by bamboo, and the roots of the tree were gnawed by some unknown animal. The tree, which had already grown quite thick, still died.

"It's an old cypress tree." Grandpa Chu patted the trunk regretfully, "It's at least 20 years old. If the trunk is not damaged, go back and ask who can make furniture or make furniture or something."

The roots of this tree have been arched out, and Chu Yao just cut off half of the roots before bringing the tree down.He took a machete and cut off all the branches that were in the way, and then took out a rope and tied it firmly to the root of the tree. Three people dragged the rope and pulled the tree down from the hillside.

Chu Yao kept looking at Long Jiu who was walking in the middle, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Long, can you remember the path you walked, so you won't worry when you walk again?"

Long Jiu was silent for a while, and said: "I should be a year or two older than you, but you can actually call me Brother Jiu."

Chu Yao said awkwardly, and continued to look at his feet.

Every step of Long Jiu was very steady, and he stepped on exactly where Grandpa Chu had stepped. "Although my eyes are sick and I can't see things, I can't always rely on others. Sometimes I have to rely on myself. If I rely on others, I'm afraid I won't be able to take a step forward."

Grandpa Chu, who walked in the front, praised and said, "Good boy, you have to have this idea! But if you are a year or two older than Yangyang, you will be thirty this year? There is no one at home to find a partner for you." What? The brothers and sisters above you should all be married, right?"

Long Jiu said with a smile: "I am the only child, and my family is not worried. It is better to let nature take its course."

Grandpa Chu was stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Why does your only son say you are ninth?"

Long Jiu was in a daze for a moment, then said: "I am older, and most of my peers have passed away. My parents don't worry about these trivial matters."

Grandpa Chu clicked his tongue again, "Then you are really old enough..."

It took three people a long time to drag the tree back to the yard. The branches were also cleaned up and bundled into bundles and piled up on the shed above the pig pen and sheep pen to dry. After drying, it will be an excellent firewood. .

Chu Yao dragged the cleaned tree trunk to the side of the fence, panting tiredly, "This is not the pastoral life I yearn for, why do other people live like a little fairy girl, I am as tired as an old scalper."

Grandpa Chu was drinking the warm water that Grandma Chu handed over, and burst into laughter when he heard this sentence, "I don't know what you usually watch. How can it be easy to work in the countryside? With your current strength, it's really not as good as The big girls in the countryside can do it."

Grandma Chu also handed Long Jiu a cup of warm water. Long Jiu took the cup and said suddenly, "Why don't you hire someone? Just control the food."

Chu Yao shook his head and said: "It costs too much money to recruit people. Even if it is in the village, it costs 100 yuan a day to manage a meal. Besides, how many people have to be hired to clean up such a large mountainous area? Anyway, I don't expect it. What, I'll take my time and sort out a piece first."

He really wanted to recruit people, but he didn't want to recruit workers, but to see if there was anyone willing to cooperate.It's just land, let them plant it casually, and spend less money on their own.

Xiaobai squatted at Long Jiu's feet, raised his paws and kept pulling at his pants.

Long Jiu: ...

"I have a few friends who want to try doing farm work without money."
