Farming and teaching across different worlds

Walked around twice, had breakfast, and finished morning classes.

Shi Jingchen also just came back from the outside, tidied up, and the two of them went out together.

The old house is located in the northeast corner of the village, at the outermost edge of the village.

If they want to go there, they have to pass through the village.

Walking on the flat dirt road in the village, Ji Xiuran looked at this small mountain village very curiously.

The khaki-colored houses are patchwork, and every house is clean and tidy.

Flowers, plants and trees are interspersed among them, adding a different color to this monotonous village.

The curling smoke adds a touch of vitality to this quiet village.

Ji Xiuran walked leisurely, feeling the unique atmosphere in the morning and afternoon village, and his heart was quiet.

The scattered villagers who met on the road greeted him with a smile, and Ji Xiuran also greeted him with a smile.

Feeling the honesty and simplicity of the people in this village, Ji Xiuran couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

When the two walked to the big osmanthus tree in the center of the village, they saw a few aunts and aunts under the tree, chatting while doing their work.

This big osmanthus tree is surrounded by two people, and its crown is like a cover. This season is when the flowers bloom.

The fine, golden-yellow flowers are beautifully dotted among the waxy dark turquoise leaves.

The quiet fragrance curled up, making people who passed by couldn't help but stop.

The creek passing through the village converges into a puddle on the depression beside the tree, and people in Qingshan Village are used to fetching water here.

The little women who usually do laundry and vegetables also like to gather here with basins.

At this time, the weather was just right, and there were a few women squatting by the water to wash clothes.

When they saw Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen coming, a cheerful aunt said, "Hey, isn't this our scholar? Where are we going?"

Ji Xiuran smiled lightly, and replied: "The sky is clear and the air is refreshing, let's go for a walk."

Hearing his eloquence, the other couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Sure enough, he is a scholar, and his words are nice."

Ji Xiuran didn't care about these kind jokes, just smiled and walked over.

Say hello to Aunt Wu and others who are sitting under the osmanthus tree doing work, "Aunt Wu, are you busy?"

Aunt Wu lives next to Ji's family, and the relationship between the two families is very good. In the past, when Ji's family was in trouble, Aunt Wu helped a lot.

Aunt Wu was making shoes, holding the shoe in one hand, piercing the eye of the needle with a big stick needle in the other, and holding a needle with thorn thread in her mouth.

Hearing Ji Xiuran's words, he quickly stopped his hands, took the needle out of his mouth, and replied: "I'm free, I'm making a pair of shoes. Where are Xiuran and Er Niu going?"

Ji Xiuran smiled, and replied, "Go and see the old house."

Aunt Wu nodded and said, "I passed by before, but I heard some movement inside."

Ji Xiuran looked back at Shi Jingchen before replying, "Make some furniture."

After Ji Xiuran finished speaking, he greeted the people next to him, and Shi Jingchen also greeted them.

After a few more gossips, the two of them did not delay any longer, took their leave, and continued to move forward.

After Shi Jingchen and Ji Xiuran left, several people also started discussing about these two people.

Ji Xiuran may not be aware of it, but as the only scholar in Qingshan Village, he is still very famous in the village.

Everyone is watching his every move, especially these gossip women.

Rich or poor, there is no shortage of gossiping women.

At this moment, one of them couldn't help but said: "These two are good-looking and can read and write. It's a pity, otherwise the threshold of the gate will be broken."

This is the sympathetic voice of those who regret that the two cannot marry a daughter-in-law.

Soon the other spat indifferently: "The two of you are doing well, you are all just worrying about it."

This is someone who is very optimistic about these two people, rebuttal.

Soon another mysteriously said: "Hey, let me tell you, I heard that the two of you are going to break off the engagement."

At this time, the other one couldn't listen anymore, and he yelled: "Hurry up and shut up, as long as you know a lot, judging by the current state of the two of them, it doesn't look like they are about to break off the engagement."

The other retorted unconvinced: "Otherwise, why are people in their twenties still not closing the contract?"

At this time, the other people were speechless. Thinking about it, something was really wrong.

Aunt Wu, at this time, took the bar needle and inserted it fiercely into the sole of the shoe, rolled her eyelids and glanced at the few people who were talking.

Youyou said: "What are you worrying about, the Ji family should be thinking of double happiness, just wait, there will be wedding wine in a few days."

After hearing Aunt Wu's words, several people immediately became interested.

Speaking of which, Aunt Wu lives close to Ji's family, so maybe she knows something that others don't.

There is no doubt about her statement.

Aunt Wu saw that everyone no longer entangled with the affairs of the Ji family and did not say anything more, and continued to do her own business with her head down.

In my heart, I am very optimistic about Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen.

At this moment, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen, who were being discussed by others, had already arrived at the old house.

When Ji Xiuran came to this place, he couldn't help but look around.

Pulling Shi Jingchen, he looked around the old house.

After a general look, I found that the land occupied by this house is really large.

With some confidence in my heart, I opened the door and walked into the yard.

When I entered the door, I saw the three main rooms facing each other. Although they had been tidied up before, they still looked very down and out at this moment.

The courtyard is not big, and at this time, most of the courtyard is occupied by scattered wood, making it even more crowded.

Ji Xiuran walked around in and out, back and forth, and finally stood in the middle of the yard, frowning.

Seeing his frowning brows, Shi Jingchen couldn't help but raised his hand to caress between his brows, trying to smooth out those wrinkles.

Sensing his movements, Ji Xiuran looked up, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Third brother, this project is bigger than I expected."

He thought before that it would be enough to build a few more rooms on the previous basis, but at this moment, it seemed that it was not that simple.

These few houses are so dilapidated, naturally they cannot be kept.

The yard is too cramped and needs to be rebuilt.

In this way, the whole thing has to be pushed to rebuilding, which is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, the land marked by the Ji family is big enough, and there is enough room for them to toss about.

But in this way, back to the problem - money.

Hey, no matter how you can't get around this problem.

But at this moment, I can't be in a hurry, so let's put these aside first, and Ji Xiuran carefully investigated again, writing the draft in his heart.

When I was thinking about it in my heart, I was distracted and carefully looked at the things in the yard.

The wood scattered in the center of the yard was prepared by Shi Jingchen before, and they were basically treated simply.

Some are processed into the desired shape, and can be made into furniture as long as they are processed again.

Ji Xiuran took a rough look, then turned his eyes disinterestedly.

Looking at the well-protected vegetable field on the side, it is green and covered with some young shoots.

Ji Xiuran couldn't help but walked over, squatted down, and looked at it carefully, but unfortunately the bud was too small, he couldn't recognize it.

Turning to look at Shi Jingchen at the side, he asked, "Third brother, what kind of food is this?"

Shi Jingchen thought he would live alone, so he planted cold-resistant vegetables, cabbage, radish, and some spinach.

These are the most common winter dishes in the village.

Seeing him ask, he replied directly.

Ji Xiuran listened, nodded, and then asked: "Cowpeas, cucumbers, can't these be grown?"

Shi Jingchen didn't show any abnormality to his ignorant question, but replied indifferently: "These are not cold-resistant."

Although there is no snow in Qingshan Village in winter, these vegetables can germinate, but the temperature in winter is still very low, even if these vegetables grow up, they will not bear fruit.

Hearing this, Ji Xiuran felt a little pity in his heart, thinking that people in this world eat greenhouse vegetables in winter, but not here.

Thinking of greenhouse vegetables, he couldn't help feeling sorry for a moment. He had never been exposed to these in his previous life, so there was no record in the memory book.

I don't know if there is anything useful in the Book of Memory.

Ji Xiuran squatted beside the vegetable field, staring at the small sprouts in the vegetable field, his eyes began to wander.

In fact, I have begun to look through the memory book in my mind.

But the hard work paid off, and he really found something useful in a corner.

In the past, when he went to play at his grandma's house, he happened to meet grandpa building a sweet potato kang.

The temperature there is usually very low in spring, but the sweet potato seedlings need to be raised in the spring. In order to ensure the normal germination of sweet potatoes, the people there will make a special sweet potato kang.

Grandpa Ji Xiuran would build one in the yard of the house every spring.

He himself didn't quite remember the scene at that time, but the book of memory clearly recorded it all.

This is where it comes in handy.

Seeing this idea, Ji Xiuran immediately became happy, looked at Shi Jingchen with a smile, and said, "Third brother, I have a good idea."

After speaking, he drew a picture on the ground, the construction method of the sweet potato kang.

Shi Jingchen watched carefully, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Thinking about it, it is also feasible to use this method in the house.

In particular, the place where this person reads is covered with such a layer, and it is warmed up by lighting a fire.

In this way, when it is winter, this person will not have to suffer from the cold.

Or how to say that Shi Jingchen is smart, Ji Xiuran just told him about the method, and he already thought of Dilong by analogy.

A sincere heart to protect and care for Ji Xiuran is also moving.

Chapter 16

Shi Jingchen silently planned in his heart that when building a house, an earth dragon could be spread under Ji Xiuran's study.

Ji Xiuran spent most of the day in the study.

Although there is no snow in Qingshan Village in winter,
