Wind back to the farm

On the afternoon of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the greening of the two entrances and exits of Fenghui Farm was completed, and the closure of Qingda Road was also completed at the same time.

Dajiling people who go out for business must express their feelings about the two entrances and exits when they come back: "I heard Mr. Qi (Ms.), welcome home, ouch, that taste is so beautiful."

"I also like 'vehicle recognition pass' and 'iris recognition pass'. Although the technology is not very advanced, it still feels very compelling when I hear it at my door."

Li Xia sat in the corner of the snack bar, eating vegetarian dumplings, smiling slightly in his heart.

The 27rd of the lunar calendar.

At ten o'clock at noon, the big horn of the Dajiling Village Office rang: "All the villagers of Dajiling, please pay attention. Bo Li expresses his heart.

Now, please bring a basket or basket of about the same size to the entrance of the ancestral hall and line up to get it. The people in the farm are very busy, so please hurry up. "

Qi Xiuxian's family.

When Qi Lanting heard the broadcast, he was stunned for a while and said, "This kid, the farm hasn't made any money yet, so what kind of gift should I give you?"

Wang Chang said to her husband: "That's what I said, but in front of them, I have to act a bit more rare, or I will live up to their wishes."

Qi Lanting: "I still don't know, this is not at home."

Qi Zhengyang's family.

Qi Zhengyang heard the broadcast and took a basket to his granddaughter Qi Zhiyan: "You go and get it. Li Xia's farm has just started and hasn't made any money yet. No matter how small or useless the gift is, you have to show that you like it, you know?"

Qi Zhiyan said: "Grandpa, I'm not stupid. Brother Huami leased our village's mountain land and gave the village rent. He doesn't owe us anything. This courtesy is for nothing. Will I still complain?"

……

For farms that have leased other people’s land, it is a customary rule of Huaxia country’s farms to prepare festivals for the villagers on the leased land during the Chinese New Year. Even if the farm loses money, the festivals cannot be saved. Just thinking about it.

It is definitely not enough to give money directly. If there is less, the people in Dajiling are not poor, and there is no shortage of that money; if there is too much, he is unwilling and cannot give it, because according to his experience, he should be poor enough to borrow money or loans everywhere now. .

Li Xia discussed with several employees.

Shen Houren, Gong Bao, Yi Mian, and Xiao Zhi were not the ones to worry about this before, they couldn't tell they were ugly and Yinmao, Huai Jiang was on the road, and Li Xia didn't have the nerve to disturb him.

In the middle of the night last night, Shen Jiuzhou called him to report his safety, and asked him what he was up to, and he just said one thing.

As a result, Shen Jiuzhou said: "There is no more suitable fruit for Shen Houren."

Li Xia asked: "Why?"

Shen Jiuzhou said: "First, his fruit tastes good and is more nutritious. You really want to give gifts to the people of Dajiling, not perfunctory. Those fruits are worthy of your heart.

[-]. This is just a side effect. Every family in Dajiling works outside. After eating the fruit you sent, they will take the initiative to advertise for you. When the fruit is ripe next year, you will have a group of customers who will come to your door. "

Li Xia immediately called Shen Houren.

Shen Houren was taking care of his precious saplings in the farm at that time, when he heard that Li Xia wanted to distribute his fruits to so many people, he almost jumped up...

It was captured by Xiao Zhi with a single sentence.

Xiao Zhi said: "The boss is willing to use your fruit, what you should do is beat the gongs and drums and be ecstatic."

Shen Houren immediately counseled: "I, I am... just ecstatic." He jumped a few times vigorously, expressing that he didn't mean what he meant.

Li Xia looked like he was bullying Shen Houren, but he didn't take it for granted in his heart, so he didn't divide it according to the head, but each family had 400 catties, and if there were centenarians in the family, each one was ten catties more. , a total of more than [-] catties is needed—there are more centenarians in Dajiling

Shen Houren brought more than 200 baskets of fruit, with an average basket of about [-] catties. After Li Xia finished dividing, the rest was enough for all the farm owners to eat the new fruits until May.

And even if he finished eating early, with Shen Houren's ability, he wouldn't really run out of fruit to eat, not to mention that Li Xia would bring some local products from Shenyizuka to several employees from time to time, when there were fruits brought by Li Xia, Shen Houren would definitely not eat your own.

When Shen Houren and Gongbao were sharing fruits in front of the ancestral hall, Yi Mian was revising the materials on the official website, and Li Xia and Xiao Zhi went to Dongzhai Gate together to wait for Huaijiang.

At 10:30, two extended cage cars rumbled to the side of the Daji Bridge. As soon as the cars came to a stop, Xiao Zhi jumped into the one pulling the livestock. Soon, a few half-grown children who were skating by the Lihua River were watching After seeing the horses, donkeys, and cows who got off the carts in a line, they stayed for a few seconds, then ran into the gate of the village and shouted: "Come and see, the wild animals from Uncle Huami's farm are here... "

Twenty horses, twenty donkeys, ten cows, the team lined up neatly, and they looked obedient and honest when they got off the cart. They didn't look wild at all. I don't know how the children judged it.

Huai Jiang came to Li Xia in a full body, looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "It looks good."

Li Xia said: "Three thousand and six thousand a month, I seem to have made a lot of money." I already had this feeling when I saw people, and it became more and more intense in the past two days, and now it reached its peak.

Huaijiang nodded: "You are lucky."

There are only three households in Dajiling that still raise cattle, and one of them is Uncle Qi Zhengyang’s family. Qi Zhengyang was very happy when he saw so many large animals today: “My grandfather said, in the past, every household in our village had two or three cattle. It's lively, since mechanized farming, there have been fewer large animals, and the village has become much quieter."

Li Xia asked: "In the future, if I use them to pull people, won't everyone feel noisy?"

Qi Zeda said: "If there is any more noise, can there be cars making noise?

The barking of animals is similar to that of human beings, no matter how loud it is, it is not unpleasant. Try a car horn. "

Li Xia was relieved.

After the large animals came twenty large carts, ten large carts, and ten small carts.

The style of the carriage is very ordinary. It is a slight change on the basis of the most common carriage in Huaxia Kingdom a hundred years ago. It can accommodate a few more people. The whole carriage is made of wood and the workmanship is very fine. There are almost no traces of the joints, and the canopy is made detachable. It is not used at ordinary times, and it is installed only when it rains or snows.

Qi Xiuxian also ran over to watch the excitement. He looked at a small two-wheeled carriage carefully, and then commented: "Yes, many retro things outside are crudely made. These carriages are similar to those preserved in our village. The materials are good. Workmanship is exquisite."

Uncle and aunt also ran out to watch the excitement. Seeing so many carriages, uncle was very distressed: "There are many carriages in Dajiling that can be used. What are you doing with this unreasonable money?"

There was a large carriage in the yard that my uncle bought, and the carriages of my great-grandmother's family and Qi Xiuxian's family were also well preserved, but Li Xia felt that it was a memory and a thought of many families in Dajiling. It is not suitable to borrow or use it for business to make money.

Li Chen stood firmly at Lixia: "Dad, my brother is in business and needs a lot, how can he go from house to house to borrow money from others?"

Uncle also thought of this at this time, but he was still not happy, feeling that Li Xia's money was spent unjustly.

Li Xia asked Huaijiang: "Are those horses and donkeys tame? I want to hitch two carriages and drive the village children for a few laps."

Huai Jiang said: "No problem, they often pull people in Luofeng Village."

Xiao Zhi said: "These animals are very docile at first glance, as long as there is one person following them."

So, two horses and two donkeys had just arrived at the new owner's site, and they started working without entering the house.

Four-wheeled carriages take children over six years old, and two-wheeled carriages take children under six years old. There is only one driver in Huaijiang for two carriages.

Two carriages, one in front and one behind, started running on the main street of Dajiling. A group of teenagers and half-grown children followed behind the carriage and shouted. The village was more lively than usual on New Year's Day.

After running back and forth, the children couldn't get enough. The children in the car didn't want to get out of the car, but the children below asked to go up. Li Xia got two more cars. Huai Jiang declined Li Xia's suggestion to let him go back to rest, and led the car happily. The four carriages left the Dongzhai Gate and headed east along the Ninth Circuit.

People from the village came to help one after another, and put the rest of the carriages on the animals. Fu An was very generous and gave Huaijiang two hundred sacks of fodder. .

After sending all the animals to a large house with transparent surroundings to graze and drink water, Li Xia said to Xiao Zhi, "You stay here to take care of them temporarily, I have something to do when I go up the mountain."

Xiao Zhi said: "Okay, from now on you can take care of things whenever you have something, don't need to think about other things, we won't be lazy just because you're not here." He could see that Li Xia had something on his mind when he met today.

Li Xia smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of you being lazy, but Huaijiang has been out for several days. I want to meet him, and I want to see these guys soon." head.

Xiao Zhi nodded: "I know, leave this to me, you go quickly."

Li Xia whistled lightly, and Shan Xia and Qiu Xia who were patrolling among the horses ran over, and the father and son went out together.

Feifei and Kangkang were squatting on the sink curiously watching a group of big guys drinking water, and wanted to follow when they heard the whistle, but Xiao Zhi stopped him with a finger: "The boss has something to do, go and disturb him."

Feifei and Kangkang didn't dare to bargain with Xiao Zhi, they stared at the door for a while, then turned around and continued to watch the little donkey "sizzle" drinking water.

The large animals and carriages filled Dajiling with children's laughter, but the villagers of Dajiling did not lessen their attention to the [-] catties of fruit. You have to eat one of them all.

110 eight, every household is discussing: "Where did Li Xia buy these apples (pears)?"

"How much does a catty of such delicious apples (pears) cost?"

"It's the same apples, why are Li Xia's so delicious? Why do the ones I bought smell like swill?"

"Li Xia, don't know how much is left? Go to him and ask, eighty (one hundred, two hundred) a catty, do you know if he will sell it or not?"

"Grandpa (grandma, father, mother), didn't you say that Li Xia said that the fruit trees in his farm will bear fruit next year? Will it be like this?"

"If all the fruits in the farm are like this, can we discuss it with Li Xia and let us sell it first?"

"Ahhh, what should I do? I'm still pointing to eating fruit at home during the holidays to lose weight. After eating this apple, how can I still eat the ones I bought?"

"Okay, let's eat one each. That's enough. Grandma is getting old. Let grandma eat the rest. We will eat the ones that Dad bought in the future."

"Brother, let's go to Lixia's farm in a while and see how many fruit trees he has planted. If they bear fruit next year, can we buy more."

"I don't think I can wait until next year, Dad, good fruit can't be put away, its value lies in the present, let's..."

"You son of a bitch, don't give me the ecstasy soup. Your grandparents said that you will put it up to worship the mountain god in the next year's big sacrifice. No one can move it now."

"But there will be more than half a year until next year's Grand Priest, even if it is a fairy fruit, it won't be released at that time..."

"Just in case, forty catties, there may be a few of them who can last until the great sacrifice..."

Qi Xiuxian looked at the door of the neighbor's house, scratched his nose, then looked at the empty basket in his hand, and decided to go to Li Xia at night.

He estimated that even if the family gave out two hundred catties today, his grandparents would not let him eat one, and his parents would not let him touch it at all in order to prevent him from stealing it.

……

In May last year, the Spring Festival came late this year. Now it is mid-February, and the day before the stove sacrifice has already begun to spring. At this time, many trees on the mountain have sprouted buds, and the air is filled with the smell of spring.

Li Xia walked very leisurely, and the early spring season contains infinite vitality, which makes every breath he takes is a beautiful enjoyment.

There is not much green on the shore of Chongming Lake, and there are already dozens of new bird's nests on the nearby trees.

Li Xia stood by the lake for a while and watched the busy birds with branches in their mouths, then walked up the hillside and walked into Zhong Chunqiu's room.

The mummy on the bed looked the same from a distance, Li Xia approached and pinched his ears, a little smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Baby, let's go outside. There is such a thing in front of us, which affects our mood."

The two dogs walked out joltingly, and stood in front of the stone under the flower tree. Li Xia went to sit down, and the two immediately lay down, with their heads on his lap.

Li Xia leaned against the flower tree, closed his eyes, and gently blew the "Spring Breeze Ballad" he composed.

Where he couldn't see, the dead limbs became plump little by little, and the sunken cheeks gradually bulged. This change lasted for about 5 minutes before stagnating, but the mummy's sunken eyes slowly moved. It seemed to be struggling to open, but failed in the end.

The thin and dry hands began to shrink, getting shorter and shorter, but the muscles on them became more and more plump. When the dead branches turned into baby-sized hands and feet, the muscles on them were no different from ordinary people, and the exposed head became Normal baby appearance.

The melodious whistle continued.

The baby grows up little by little in the restless struggle, the muscles and skin color are constantly changing with the growth of the body, the muscles are getting thinner and the skin color is getting darker.

When the child's body grows to about 1.2 meters, looking at the child who is already severely malnourished, the child's head is still dripping with sweat, and his expression is quite painful.

The whistle stopped.

The child's struggle on the bed also stopped.

Li Xia opened his eyes and closed them again, Shan Xia and Qiu Xia stood up, "woo woo" and pushed their heads against him, trying to drag him up.

Li Xia failed to hold the dog son back, stood up slowly while supporting the tree, and walked slowly back to his office.

There was an old-fashioned but comfortable bed in the west suite. Li Xia threw himself on it, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep in an instant.

Shanxia and Qiuxia jumped onto the bed lightly, pulled open the quilt in cooperation, and helped him cover it up. They were about to lie down beside him, but their ears suddenly pricked up.

Chuxia squats next to Lixia, Shanxia jumps off the bed.

Xiao Zhi came in, bent down and touched Li Xia's forehead, stretched out his arms to hug him up: "He can't do it here, I'll send him back to Shenyi Tomb."
