Farming and teaching across different worlds

"You wash it first, and I'll wash it later."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand to untie Ji Xiuran's bun, and skillfully helped him retie it.

Ji Xiuran let him move, and waited for him to fix his hair before lowering his head to wash.

After washing up, Shi Jingchen took out the basin, and the sky gradually brightened, Ji Xiuran sat down at the desk and started to do morning class.

Shi Jingchen also came in after a while, sat beside him, and read seriously the books on the art of war and military that Ji Xiuran gave him.

After a while, he got up, went to pour a cup of hot tea, and put it in Ji Xiuran's hand.

Ji Xiuran just finished writing an article, stopped, picked up hot tea, warmed his hands, took a sip, warmed his throat to stomach, couldn't help but look back at him, and let out a warm smile.

It's cold and rainy outside, but it's warm inside.

Chapter 33

The vegetables grown in the greenhouse in the yard are ready to mature.

Shi Jingchen put a lot of thought into it, starting from raising the seedlings. He opened the shed every day to ventilate and light it.

However, the hard work also pays off. It is getting colder and colder outside, but the vegetables in the shed grow better.

When Ji's father and mother, who had planted the land all their lives, saw it, they couldn't help being amazed.

The first batch of vegetables that entered the twelfth lunar month greenhouse were ripe, and they were picked and sent to the kitchen. The dining table of Ji's family was more green and more flavorful than other families.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the school will be on vacation from this day.

Ji Xiuran was free at this time, so he went to the county with Shi Jingchen to give New Year gifts to his husband and Zeng Junhui.

He didn't give any expensive gifts, he just brought some fresh vegetables from the greenhouse, fresh food made by himself, two jars of wine and two bottles of canned food.

The teacher's wife was very happy when she saw the fresh vegetables brought by Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen. People who eat cabbage and radishes in winter turned yellow.

But Mr. Xi is more interested in those two jars of wine.

Because the Chinese New Year was approaching and there were various things at home, the two of them didn't stay long, and they left after their husband's usual school exams.

After coming out, he went to the Piaoxiang Building, put down the New Year's gift for Zeng Junhui, and left the county without any plans to see anyone.

During this period of time, Zeng Junhui was also very busy. He had been developing a market in Lin County, but he was not in Qingyang at all. Even if they stayed in the county, they would not see anyone.

Busy and busy, it will soon be New Year's Eve.

Although the Ji family separated, they were still together during the Chinese New Year.

In the afternoon, Mother Ji and her two daughters-in-law were cooking New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, while Father Ji, Brother Ji, Brother Ji, and Shi Jingchen were making rice cakes in the yard.

Both sides didn't need him, Ji Xiuran sat by himself, feeling bored for a while.

Turning his head to see the three young people who were happily playing with the small wooden cart, he became interested in an instant.

These small wooden cars were drawn by Ji Xiuran and modeled by Shi Jingchen. They are very realistic, the wheels can move, and they can run on the ground when they are tied to a rope.

Ji Xiuran walked over, reached out and took Daqing's small car in his hand, and began to play with it.

Although Daqing was not happy, he dared not speak out, so he could only stand aside and watch.

Shi Jingchen was at the side, taking advantage of the break in work, looked up and saw Ji Xiuran bullying the boys so badly, he couldn't help but smiled softly, his eyes filled with doting.

Then he lowered his head and continued to move. He knew that there were many magical things in the place where Xiuran came from, just like this strange car, which he had never seen before.

But he doesn't care, as long as this person can always be by his side is enough.

After the family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner, they began to watch the new year.

Because of the original owner's health, his family didn't let him watch the New Year's Eve in previous years. This year, Ji's father still asked Ji Xiuran to go back to rest as usual.

Although Ji Xiuran felt that he was already in good health, he was indeed a little sleepy. Hearing what Ji's father said, he didn't say anything about the society. He and Shi Jingchen went back to their own yard before and had an early rest.

At the beginning of the next morning, Ji Xiuran was awakened by the noise outside before he woke up.

He opened his eyes dimly, feeling the cold air outside, and couldn't help shrinking back under the blanket, unable to close his eyes again.

Shi Jingchen saw this scene as soon as he entered the door, Ji Xiuran shrank into the bed like a small animal and couldn't help but smile.

It was rare for Ji Xiuran to have a rest when the school was on holiday, and his study tasks were also suspended for three days during the Chinese New Year, so he could finally lie in bed openly, but the New Year's greetings didn't want him to do so.

Shi Jingchen walked to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched his exposed hair, and said softly, "The students are here to celebrate the New Year."

Ji Xiuran yawned under the quilt, then stretched out his head, looked at him sleepily, and asked, "Are there a lot?"

The voice was still hoarse after waking up.

Shi Jingchen nodded, reached out to pick it up and put it in the quilt, and passed the warm clothes over, "It's almost here, I've been waiting for a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran was too embarrassed to stay in bed, sat up, took the clothes and put them on.

After he finished dressing and got off the bed, Shi Jingchen helped him tie up his hair and brought him hot water.

After Ji Xiuran finished washing and arranging his clothes, he was about to go outside.

Shi Jingchen quickly took out the scarf, hat, and gloves, put them on for him, and let him go out.

There was a large group of people sitting in the main hall, the students of the small class and the adult class were due, when they saw Ji Xiuran coming in, they got up one after another, saluted him and wished him a New Year.

Ji Xiuran nodded lightly, accepted their gift, gave him a red envelope, sat there and said a few words, and they dispersed.

This group of people went out together and walked to the yard beside them to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Xiang.

Ji Xiuran ate something before going out with Shi Jingchen.

First, I went to the nearby yard to check on Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang and Liu Ying didn't go home during the Chinese New Year, and they didn't want to disturb Ji's family. The two siblings lived alone in the courtyard.

After paying New Year's greetings to Liu Xiang, the two went out together again to pay New Year's greetings to several elders in the village.

After walking around for a while, I regained my spirits, took out firecrackers and played with my nephews at the door.

Not long after playing, I saw a group of people coming towards his house from afar.

When he got closer, he realized that it was Zeng Junhui. Ji Xiuran stood there and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this person would travel all the way to pay him New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Invite him into the house, sit down, and pour him a cup of hot tea.

Zeng Junhui picked it up, held it in his hand, took a small sip, then put down the teacup, looked up at Ji Xiuran, and asked reproachfully, "Xiu Ran, that's not interesting."

Holding the teacup, Ji Xiuran raised his eyebrows, he didn't care about Zeng Junhui's accusation, he drank his tea leisurely, and ignored him.

"Those vegetables, and the new sugar recipe, you didn't tell them earlier, it's not enough brother!" Zeng Junhui was furious, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Before New Year's Eve, Zeng Junhui finally finished his work and rushed back from Lin County, just in time to receive the New Year gift from Piaoxianglou, Ji Xiuran.

Seeing the fresh vegetables and new-style candies inside, I feel that the whole person is not good, and the joy brought by the smooth opening of the Linxian market is not so good in an instant.

Therefore, regardless of the etiquette, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the teacher was sent to question the crime.

"This year's varieties are limited and can't be sold. As for the sugar recipe, you can ask the chef to study it." Ji Xiuran ignored his question and replied calmly.

The greenhouse vegetable was indeed his mistake, and he remembered it too late, so he couldn't do this business this year.

He didn't care about those few sugar recipes, and he didn't mind if Zeng Junhui's people researched them.

Hearing what he said, Zeng Junhui calmed down.

Ji Xiuran took a sip of tea slowly, and continued: "I can't give you the construction method of the greenhouse, but I can promise that there will be enough fresh vegetables at this time next year."

Growing vegetables is what farmers do, so Zeng Junhui, a businessman, should not get involved.

The vegetables grown in their village next year can be handed over to him for sale.

Hearing Ji Xiuran's guarantee, Zeng Junhui nodded in satisfaction, as long as he can guarantee fresh vegetables and let him make money, he doesn't care about the rest.

Seeing that he was happy, Ji Xiuran looked at him indifferently, and said quietly: "So, just because of some small things, at the beginning of the new year, Brother Zeng came to Xingshi to ask for his sin?"

"No, no, I'm here to meet friends." After Zeng Junhui recovered, he changed into that Shi Shiran look again, making his teeth itch.

After sitting for a while and eating a lot of delicious food, Zeng Junhui left satisfied. Before leaving, he went to the greenhouse to pick out a basket of vegetables himself.

……

After the Chinese New Year, before the busy farming season started, Qingshan Village started busy building bridges again.

The remaining stones were delivered one after another, and the villagers worked together to break down these large stones into the required size.

The six untied pieces of iron wood are also made into the shape of iron tie rods and waist iron.

In order to build the bridge as soon as possible, the villagers worked hard every day, and even some old people were excited to beat it twice with stone hammers.

But none of this has much to do with Ji Xiuran, he is busy with classes, calligraphy, and theory practice every day.

Shi Jingchen occasionally went to work, but most of the time he stayed by Ji Xiuran's side.

After the beginning of spring, Ji Xiuran's experimental field will be planted, and he will help Ji Xiuran breed.

Ji Xiuran wanted to experiment with a more effective planting method, so he had to be strict in raising seedlings.

Pick out high-quality plantings in advance and start raising seedlings.

Divide the field into three parts, and plant them separately according to the planting time and whether to fertilize.

Three methods, make a comparison, and finally choose the most reasonable planting method.

After working on the experimental field, we still need to plan the barren mountain.

Some time ago, Zeng Junhui sent someone a message saying that the fruit sapling Ji Xiuran wanted had been found, and it would be delivered in a few days.

And before the saplings arrive, he has to clean up all the hills, the tree pits
