The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 17 Settled
August 8th, the 7th day of the sixth lunar month, is another Saturday.

This day is the beginning of autumn in the 24 solar terms. From today onwards, it represents the harvest of autumn, and it is coming.

Before the early morning mountain mist dissipated, dewdrops rolled on the leaves. In the peaceful Zhengjia Village, a large truck drove up, and the truck was full of furniture.

The truck drove all the way to the innermost part of the mountain village, and stopped under the big willow tree in front of Yang Ming's house. A man and a woman opened the door and jumped out of the car.

"This is the young couple who bought the former uncle's house?"

"I heard that they are from the city. You said that the people from the city are really weird. Why are you running into the poor valley when you have nothing to do?"...

The women who got up early to cook in Zhengjia Village gathered together in small groups, whispering.

Next to Yang Ming's house is a small farmyard, where a mother and daughter live. The mother's name is Liu Fen, about 30 years old. Her man didn’t encounter a pack of wolves when he entered the mountain two years ago, because the village organized the trip, so the village usually takes good care of the mother and daughter. I can think of them. My daughter is Zheng Baoer, who is only 10 years old. She was born in pink and jade, and she is in the third grade in the elementary school in the village.

When Liu Fen got up to cook in the morning, she found a big truck parked outside the yard of the former uncle's house next door. I heard from the villagers that the former uncle sold the house to a young couple from the city. My family is neighbors with them, and I don't know what their character is like.

Thinking, Liu Fen opened the door, looked outside, and saw a man and a woman unloading furniture from the car together.

At this time, another car came from the gravel road in the village. This car was a commercial vehicle. The commercial vehicle stopped behind the truck. First, some good guys got out of the car, and then a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman directed these great guys and helped the couple move the furniture together.

Seeing this scene, Liu Fen shook her head, shrank back, and closed the door. She wanted to help and get to know the new neighbors, but there were too many people, and she didn't like the atmosphere.

The furniture is old and simple in style, but most of them are made of solid wood and are not light in weight. However, some household appliances are new and still packed, so be careful when lifting them. Finally moved all the furniture into the house.

When it was ready to be cleaned up, the small adobe house had changed drastically. In the main room, two large pots had been installed in the two stove halls. Sweet well water, on the other side, there are also two large vats, but they are noodle vats, one for rice and one for noodles. Next to the two noodle vats is a large cupboard, which contains bowls, chopsticks, tea trays and the like. Next to it was a big square Kang table.

In the east room, the north wall is leaning against a large lying cabinet, which is exactly the one in Yang Ming's hometown. There is a large 60-inch LCD on it, and a satellite dish is connected to the outside. DVD players and other things are placed beside it. So, even though he lives in a mountain village, his spiritual life is still indispensable.

In the middle of the north wall hangs a large pendulum clock, and on both sides of the pendulum clock are two large mirrors. With these two large mirrors, there is no need for a dressing table.

In the middle of the house is a horizontal clothesline, one end is on the east wall, and the other end is on the door frame, usually a clothes towel or something.

On the kang is a big mat, which is made of bamboo, and it is a kind of enjoyment in this hot day to lie on it naked.

The quilts and mattresses are all neatly folded and piled up on the kang. They are not new quilts, but used by Yang Ming before. According to Yang Ming's mother, the couple can have more sons if they use the quilts that Yang Ming used before. .

"You shouldn't have a TV in this room! It ruined the whole atmosphere!" Sun Fangfang sat cross-legged on the kang, and while eating a peach the size of a sand bowl, she pointed to the LCD TV. criticize.

"I'm happy!" Wei Qingqing also climbed onto the kang, snatched the big peach from Sun Fangfang's hand, and ate it happily.

"No one like you, this is given to me by your husband! If you want to eat, your husband will go..." Sun Fangfang quit, got up and grabbed it.

"What are you grabbing? There are so many!" At this time, Yang Ming came in with a large plate of peaches and put them on the kang.

"It's better to be my brother!" Sun Fangfang smiled and grabbed a big peach, and took a bite, the soft, sweet taste spread in the mouth.

After the landowner’s farm space was upgraded that night, Yang Ming took advantage of the opportunity in his hometown to plant a lot of fruit trees in the abandoned orchard in the village, including peach trees, apple trees, pear trees, and apricot trees. , jujube and other five species, each of which has more than a dozen trees. Since the seeds are not transplanted, but mature trees, it takes only two days for them to bloom and bear fruit. After two days, they are actually mature. Each plump fruit hangs heavily on the branches, and the plump appearance makes people want to eat it when they see it.

In addition, Yang Ming also took advantage of the opportunity in his hometown to get a lot of grain, vegetable, melon and fruit seeds, wheat, millet, millet, millet, corn, sesame, cucumber, loofah, pepper, green onion, cabbage, radish, leek, coriander , watermelons, pumpkins, grapes, melons, cantaloupe, etc. Dozens of them were all planted on the purple land in the farm space, and they grew into half-sized seeds in two or three days, and the fruit-bearing ones were picked directly when they were ripe.

Although the crops and fruit trees in the farm space are growing gratifyingly, Yang Ming still feels something is wrong. Although the time flow in the farm space is 10 times the normal time, is the space too small?The too small space limits the types of planting. Yang Ming asked Yaya about this question, and the answer he got was that the space of the big landlord's farm is only a space for cultivating and optimizing seeds. If the planting and breeding area is to be expanded, it still needs to be done outside. Yes, if the planet is not in a special cosmic environment, this optimized crop will always maintain this advantage.

If you want to expand the planting area, you can only plant in the outside world.

Yang Ming also took off his shoes and got on the kang. He picked up a peach and ate it. He didn't know what happened. Ever since he ate the peaches grown in the farm space, his whole body was filled with vitality. He ate the apples grown in the farm space. Afterwards, my mind cleared up. After eating duck pears, rhubarb apricots, and red dates, although it was not as obvious as these two fruits, I was still full of energy and felt much stronger in my body.

All these phenomena made Yang Ming realize the value of these five fruits. In the past, young couples ate them secretly, but today is the first time they brought them out. Although they are only peaches, Sun Fangfang was caught by the appearance of peaches just by looking at them. Attracted, Fenfen's skin is the same as the flat peach in the old version of "Journey to the West", making people want to eat it just by looking at it.

"How's Westinghouse doing?" Wei Qingqing asked while leaning on the quilt and eating peaches.

"It's done, the kang is covered with oilcloth, and the two big leather boxes I got from your house are also placed on it. Household appliances are also piled up there. Melons, fruits, vegetables, pork and eggs are all put in the refrigerator. It's..." Yang Ming said.

"Zhang Yang's second aunt's cousin got married. This bastard ran away three days ago. He didn't come when you moved, so he won't be angry with his brother and sister-in-law?" Sun Fangfang said with a smile.

"How could it be? After all, business matters!" Yang Ming laughed.

"I knew Brother Gan had the broadest heart..." Sun Fangfang laughed.

"Why do I feel that your smile is a bit weird?" Wei Qingqing understood Sun Fangfang, "What's going on?"

"What kind of moth? There is a saying that a husband and wife are like birds in the same forest... No, no, it's not like this sentence, a husband and wife should share the blessings, share the difficulties, and love each other. Eat, I ate today, if Zhang Yang didn't eat, I always feel sorry for him..." Sun Fangfang laughed.

"If you want to take something back, just say it, what are you talking about?" Wei Qingqing gave Sun Fangfang a blank look, "Based on what I know about you, if I give you ten peaches, if Zhang Yang can eat half of them , I will take your last name."

"I'm his wife. If there is anything delicious, of course he will leave it to me. I am a hero of their Zhang family. I gave birth to a fat boy for him." Sun Fangfang said as a matter of course.

"All right, all right! Anyway, there are plenty at home, so I'll bring you a few!" Yang Ming said.

"On the first day of moving, it seems that the stove is going to be fired? Let's light the fire and cook, the group of boys outside are still waiting to eat!" Wei Qingqing looked out from the open window and saw the group The good guys who help move are all outside under the persimmon tree, resting and enjoying the shade while eating peaches.

"Take care of them and send them away!" Sun Fangfang said.

These guys are porters that Sun Fangfang recruited from the moving company under Longteng Real Estate Company. The department manager can hire people with a note, and they don't need to pay wages.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's cook!" Wei Qingqing got off the kang to put on her shoes.

"I'm a guest..."

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Fangfang sent the group of good guys away, but she stayed behind. Tomorrow, Zhang Yang's cousin will get married, and Zhang Yang will come here to pick her up.

"Don't your trucks come to the yard?" Sun Fangfang said as she strolled in the front yard and saw the big truck outside the yard.

"You can't throw it outside," Wei Qingqing said.There is an anti-theft system on the truck, and without the key, the doors cannot be opened at all.

"I just feel that it's really quiet here, and I feel flustered when it's so quiet... I can't bear to live here for a long time," Sun Fangfang said.

"I think it's pretty good. It's said that people live in the mountains, and they don't need to do beauty treatments..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Hey! Who is that? Why do you keep looking into your courtyard?" Sun Fangfang touched Wei Qingqing with her elbow, and pointed to the fence outside the courtyard.

Sun Fangfang pointed, and there was a flash of a figure outside the fence, which made Wei Qingqing stare straight at him, and couldn't help feeling horrified: "Who? Who's outside?"

"Auntie..." A timid child's voice sounded, and the two women heaved a sigh of relief: it's a child...

"Who is it? Come in!" Wei Qingqing said.

A girl with pigtails pushed open the fence door and came in from the outside.

The little girl is 1.2 meters tall, wearing a blue flower dress, a pair of big eyes flickering, exuding a spirit of beauty, the pink carving is very cute, Wei Qingqing and Sun Fangfang saw it at first sight, It's all bright.

"Come, come, come to Auntie." Wei Qingqing waved to the little girl.

The little girl ran to the two of them and raised her face: "Auntie, are you going to live here from now on?"

"Yes! Little friend, tell auntie, what's your name? How old are you this year? Have you gone to school?" Sun Fangfang squatted down and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Auntie, my name is Zheng Baoer. I am ten years old and in the third grade." Zheng Baoer said.

Wei Qingqing went back to the house and brought out a big peach, and handed it to Zheng Baoer, "Were you outside just now? Where do you live?"

"Auntie, I was outside just now, and my family lives next to yours...Auntie, can I still pick persimmons and chestnuts at your house in the future?" The aroma of big peaches is so enticing that Zheng Baoer swallowed greedily, but couldn't bear it. Eat, holding her in her arms like a baby, said timidly.

When Wei Qingqing heard this, she understood a little. In the past, Uncle Zheng's house was unused. The two trees planted in the yard had no one to pick the fruits when they were ripe, so they became snacks for children. This little girl In the past, I must have often jumped into the yard to get persimmons and chestnuts to eat. Now that my husband and wife have moved here, the children can’t be so casual if they want to eat. He hurriedly said: "Of course, Auntie welcomes you to come and play often in the future." , why don’t you eat peaches? Eat it quickly! It’s very sweet!”

"Thank you, auntie, I will save this peach for my mother..."

"No need, no need, there are too many peaches at home, I'll bring you a few more..." Sun Fangfang got up quickly and ran towards the house. This little girl had a pitiful smell on her body. A little itchy.

Yang Ming is cleaning the well in the backyard. The water in the well is still clear, not muddy at all, and there is not even a moss on the wall of the well. It is obvious that someone often cleans it, but it is not a problem to be in the open air, Yang Ming Ming plans to build a small shed here to cover the mouth of the well. In the future, the family will use this well for drinking and water, so hygiene must be ensured.

The front yard and the backyard of the small yard are all fence walls. The fence walls cannot bear the load. It is not easy to build a shed. Four pillars are needed. Fortunately, there are a lot of wood in the back yard. These woods are relatively The slender ones are only as thick as an adult's wrist. They are not good enough to be used as purlins, and they cannot withstand strength, but they are more than enough to build a big shed or something.

These lumber are not heavy, and Yang Ming can easily hold two in one hand. He dug four holes on the ground around the well, drilled a hole in the small ends of the four relatively straight lumber, threaded them with ropes, and measured them. Good size, buried the big head in the pit, and then started to cultivate the soil. The hole through the rope was [-] meters above the ground, and four thin purlins were made. After measuring the size, a hole was drilled at each end, and put on The ropes were connected to the ropes on the four pillars, tied four or five times at right angles, and a simple bracket was built. In order to increase the stability of the shed, the opposite corners were tied up with ropes and placed in the shed of the donkey cart. Thumb-thin hemp twine in bundles.

Small sheds are usually covered with reed curtains, but Yang Ming searched in the backyard, but he couldn't find a reed curtain, but there were two rolls of linoleum, but looking at the blackness, Yang Ming gave up decisively. The idea of ​​using linoleum to cover the roof, there is no way, let’s go here first today, tomorrow is the [-]th, it is a big fair in Majiagou, Liujiatun, and Xiangshang, if you need something, go to the fair to buy, but you still need to find A person who knows the way, otherwise, maybe you really can't find the place.

Yang Ming patted the dust on his hands, and brought up a bucket of water with a potter's wheel. The bucket was made of iron, and a bucket of water weighed 40 catties. It was really laborious for Yang Ming to shake the potter's wheel.

After washing his hands and face, Yang Ming returned to the room. He was surprised to find that there were four women in the room, three adults and one child. The three adults were none other than Wei Qingqing, Sun Fangfang and a young-looking woman. The three of them were talking and laughing while eating peaches and melon seeds.

The little girl was Zheng Baoer, and the little girl leaned close to the young woman, eating peaches in small bites.

Seeing Yang Ming walk into the room, the young woman immediately stood up.

"Husband, let me introduce you. This is our neighbor, Mrs. Liu, can't you tell? She is the mother of a ten-year-old child. This little girl is Mrs. Liu's daughter, Zheng Baoer... ...Sister-in-law Liu, this is my husband, and his name is Yang Ming." Wei Qingqing introduced excitedly.

ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for collection...

A certain received the first "reward" in his life, and he was very excited. Here, I would like to say to that "Lu Han" brother, thank you...
