Good mountains, good water, good people

Gu Changning stood next to his mother, watching his mother scoop pig food into the trough and the group of piglets scrambling for food, and replied: "I slept for a while last night, I'm not very sleepy, wait until night I’ll go back to have breakfast and sleep for a while.” The first two days when I first came here to guard the shed, I was not used to it, and I couldn’t sleep much at night. After a few days, I got used to it, probably because I was too tired during the day. , I can sleep for a while with my eyes closed at night. Although I don't sleep very deeply, it is much better than the first meeting.

"There's no need to wait, you can go back now, and I can feed the pigs by myself, and everyone will come over in a while." At this time, the sky was already bright, and the workers came soon.

Mama Gu poured the remaining pig food in the bucket into the trough, watching the group of piglets squeeze each other, and finally all the piglets found a place to get in to eat, one by one She wanted to bury her head in the trough, humming while eating, a smile appeared on her face, as if she could see these little pigs grow into big pigs.

The food in the trough was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally there was nothing left.

The piglets inside couldn't find food, so they started screaming again through the wooden fence.

"Oh, how can you eat so much? What do you call it when you're full!" Mother Gu looked at the group of piglets inside and screamed with their mouths open again. She was so full of food that she almost believed that the group of pigs were not full.

"Maybe you're not full?" Gu Changning asked uncertainly.

"How can you not be full? Look at this round belly." Mother Gu said so, but seeing the group of pigs screaming so pitifully, she poured two spoonfuls of water into the bucket and washed it. The water was poured into the trough, and the group of piglets swarmed over to the trough to eat violently.

The water here is the next mountain spring water on the mountain, and it can be drunk without boiling, so there is no need to worry that the piglets will eat up their stomachs if they eat cold water.

"I see, if they keep them for another week, these two buckets of pig food won't be enough for them to eat." Mama Gu looked at the group of pigs who had licked all the water in the trough in the blink of an eye, and remembered what happened earlier. The sweet potato leaves that they burned as firewood, turned their heads and glanced at their son standing beside them, and said, "If I had known earlier that our family was going to raise pigs, I would not have dried those sweet potato seedlings in our field to be used as firewood." Yes, save it for them to eat."

"It's okay, the sweet potato seedlings in our greenhouse are growing fast, and we can cut some to feed the pigs in a few days." After finding nothing to grow, Gu Changning simply planted sweet potatoes in two greenhouses, and the current sweet potatoes It sells for one or two yuan a catty, which is much more valuable than the previous one or two cents, and what they have here is chestnut potatoes, which are much tastier than the sweet potatoes outside, and the price is also more lucrative.But he doesn't plan to sell it directly, and it's not profitable for him to pay one or two yuan a catty. We have to wait for the sweet potatoes to grow.

It is true that the sweet potato seedlings grow fast. I don’t know if it is the effect of pouring Lingxi water. He found that not only the fruits and vegetables in the shed grew fast, but also the sweet potato seedlings grew fast. The seedlings were only a few days old. Just grow old.

"It's true, this thing can grow, and it will grow faster when I pour some pig feces and pig urine on it later." Gu's mother nodded in response.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sun in the east hadn't come out yet, and the workers had already come one by one.

"Morning boss."

"morning."

People who work here change their names to call him the boss, and no longer call him a college student like they used to.

Now that the shed was built, Gu Changning did not let the few people who had been invited to help with the work go away. More than 1000 a month is not a lot of money to him, but to the people who come to work here, 1000 One more month may be the living expenses and expenses of their whole family.So even now that the shed is built and all the things to be planted have been planted, he has not let some people go, otherwise it will be him who has left and he has not left, and others will think that it is because his work is not enough. Well done, this kind of thing is not easy to do in the village.

There is also a lot of work in the greenhouse, watering, fertilizing, weeding and catching insects every day, except whether the watering is controlled by equipment, the rest is basically manual work.

If they don't ask anyone to help, but rely on a few members of their own family, I'm afraid it will be too much. Gu Changning doesn't want to go back to his hometown to start a business and let his family follow him to death. Ruthless is still a long way off.

In addition to the sheds, there is also a house that is currently being built. Although it is a small bungalow, he also hired a master to lead a small worker. In order to make the house as good as possible for people, he also arranged Two or three people went to help.In addition to these tasks, there is still a little undeveloped land inside. After finishing the work on the shed every day, the spare hands still have to continue to open the land.

Gu Changning plans to grow something else, but he hasn't decided what to plant yet, and is thinking about it.

"Grandfather, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Seeing that his grandfather also came over early in the morning with a lunch box in his hand, Gu Changning asked a little strangely: " Grandpa, what did you mention, did you bring me breakfast?"

"Yeah, this is for you. I'll go home and eat it later." Grandpa Gu was kicked out by his mother to bring breakfast to his grandson before he had breakfast. He took the lunch box in his hand Passed it to the grandson and said: "Your grandma was talking about you this morning, saying that you haven't had breakfast together for several days, and asked if you haven't woken up yet, let us call you to get up and have breakfast together, I said that you have not had breakfast together recently. Keeping the shed here in the back mountain, and I will go back to eat later, the old lady will quit, afraid that you will be hungry, so I must let me come over and deliver it to you."

This is also because the breakfast in their family is usually eaten after the whole family gets up. Recently, the grandson is looking at the greenhouse on the back mountain side, so he goes back later in the morning, and they rush to come here again. Eat first.I don't know what happened this morning. As soon as the old lady sat on the stool, she asked about her great-grandson. When she heard that the great-grandson was guarding a shed in the back mountain and couldn't even return home, she felt distressed, so she drove his own son out to send to the great-grandson. The meal is here.

There was a smile in the old man's eyes when he said this, and it could be seen that he was not angry at being kicked out by his mother to deliver breakfast to his grandson. Isn't it just to deliver breakfast to his grandson, and it's not a big deal.

"Haha, thank you, Grandpa. Grandpa, why don't you go home and have breakfast, I'll go back later." Gu Changning reached out to take the lunch box. The lunch box in their house is still quite old.This lunch box is silver-white, with a bowl-like lid on it. In fact, this is also a lid used as a bowl. He remembers seeing his grandma using it when he was young, and later became his grandma. Mom is using it, but now it is used by his grandfather to serve him.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to eat later." Anyway, they have come out, and Grandpa Gu is not in a hurry to go back for breakfast.

Gu Changning opened the lid and saw that there were two steamed buns inside, the middle layer was side dishes, and there was half a can of porridge underneath, "Then grandpa, drink some porridge to fill your stomach, and go back to eat later." A little porridge was poured out of the bowl above, and passed to the old man to drink.

"There's no need for this, it's fine if you can't eat it." Although the old man said so, he still reached out to take it.

"How is grandma today?"

Passing the porridge to his grandpa, Gu Changning took a bite of a steamed bun. The steamed buns made by their family are filled with goat milk and sugar. It tastes a bit sweet and milky. He can eat three or five without side dishes. Of course, it would be even better if there are side dishes. Their side dishes are also delicious. They are all pickled at home. One bite of steamed buns and one bite of pickles. I don’t know if I’m hungry, but they taste very delicious.

"Okay, I think you're too smart to live to one hundred and thirteen." The longest-lived old man in their village lived to one hundred and eight, and none of them lived past one hundred and one. If they If the old lady can live to one hundred and thirteen, she will be the longest-lived old man in the whole village.With his old lady around, no matter what age he lived, he would still be a child with a mother. Grandpa Gu hoped that his old lady could live forever.

"It's definitely more than one hundred and thirty. I think Tai Nai's body is healthy and he can live to two hundred years old." But let alone, since he came back, I don't know if it's because he always fills the water tank at home. Lingxi water, because the whole family drank the water in their water tank, Gu Changning found that his grandma's spirit seemed to be getting better every day.

In the past, the old lady forgot what happened in the first half of the day and the second half. Now she can still remember what happened the day before. Now that she hasn't seen him for a few days, she still asks about him when she goes back to have breakfast. It seems that this is a lot of progress.

And his grandparents and parents go to the back mountain to help him with work every day. Although the work is not easy every day, everyone doesn't look too tired. They go back to bed every day after breakfast and shower. The next day, I came here to work for him again.

"Grandpa, eat a steamed bun." Gu Changning handed the remaining steamed bun to his grandfather.Grandpa Gu waved his hand and didn't answer, "I won't eat, you can eat, I'll go home and eat later."

When Gu's mother came, she saw her son and father-in-law squatting under the tree talking and eating breakfast, and then she realized that it was the grandma at home who asked the father-in-law to deliver meals to her son.

"Mom, go back with grandpa. I'll just wait until noon and then go back to take a nap." Seeing his grandma coming, Gu Changning ate up all the porridge and side dishes in the lunch box, and put the empty lunch box away. Handed it over to his mother to take it back, not planning to go back with him.

Gu's mother took the lunch box and asked, "Aren't you going back? Are you full? Are you not sleepy? Why don't you go back and sleep for a while?"
