The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 118

Ning Zhongping and his party came to Geshan Village after having lunch in Heishui Town. The time to arrive at Geshan Village was just around noon, so they obviously rushed over after having lunch early.

Lian Ning Zhongping and Su Yunduo's two cousins ​​are a total of eight people, except for Ning Huafeng and Ning Huaan, the other five are strong men who are about the same age as Ning Zhongping.

At this time, Su Yunduo had already put the big bones on the stove and the fragrance was just coming out, and the group of people smelled the fragrance before they were in the yard, and they couldn't help screaming.

These people are not people who run darts with Ning Zhongping, but Heishui Town is a neighbor who grew up with Ning Zhongping. From the clothes, it can be seen that the family background of several families is very ordinary, and it should be rare to eat on weekdays. Once a meaty smell, the aroma naturally aroused their appetite greatly.

Ning Zhongping asked everyone to unload the things on the carriage first, and then gather all the farm tools and distribute them one by one. Soon the group of people took the farm tools and went straight up the back hillside.

Although there are very few people walking around outside this day, it is not impossible that the Su family has just bought the back hillside, so it naturally attracts the attention of the villagers, not to mention that there is such a big movement today.

In addition to the carriage driven by Ning Zhongping, the mule cart from Ning's family was also brought here.

So the news that the Su family started looking for people to break ground on the back hillside in winter quickly spread in the village.

But although I find it strange, there are also women who go from one house to another to get together to speculate, but for the time being, no one is ashamed to go to the back hillside to find out. After all, the Su family paid real money in front of the whole village. Those who paid the money also went to the county government yesterday to get the deed.

Even if the Su family made flowers out of that hillside, it was the Su family's own ability!

Seeing the folks in the village pointing and looking at the back hillside from a distance, but there were no one close to the back hill, Su Yunduo, who was standing by the side of the mountain to observe the movement, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the group brought by Ning Zhongping reached the hillside, they were stunned by the vegetables in the valley.

Although Ning Zhongping had let them slip a little bit, they were still surprised to see it with their own eyes. No one would have thought that there would be a land where vegetables could be grown in such a season, but the facts were right in front of them, and they couldn't believe it.

"My niece discovered this land by accident. I can only say that she has vision and is blessed. I invite everyone to come today because I want to open a few small ditches in this mountain for easy watering." Ning Zhongping glanced and was almost dumbfounded. The friends said lightly.

This is the argument discussed with Su Yunduo and Su Chengzhi in advance. In order to protect the secret of the hot springs in the mountain depression as much as possible, the people hired today are only to open a few ditches according to the drawings drawn by Su Yunduo and replant some in the ventilation places of the mountain depression. The small shrubs keep out the cold wind, so today's workload is not heavy.

There are many people and great strength. These strong men are all Ning Zhongping's friends. Although they do little farm work, they are all good at digging ditches and ditches, and there is no one who plays tricks and is lazy. In addition, Su Yunduo has done a good job in the preparation work Perfect, before Ning Zhongping brought people here, he specially took some plant ashes and drew the direction of the ditch in the valley in advance, so six strong men including Ning Zhongping only took an hour to dig the ditch.

At this time, Su Yunduo also took the two cousins ​​of the Ning family, Su Chengzhi and Su Zexuan who followed up the mountain and dug a lot of small shrubs from the dense forest next to the mountain depression. The meaning is all replanted in place.

Originally, Su Yunduo wanted to dig shrubs on the back hillside, but he gave up after digging twice. After all, this weather is not as cold as in the mountain depression, and only those places in the dense forest affected by hot springs can be dug. Useful small shrubs.

Except for the side facing the back hillside, this mountain depression has almost no shelter. The other three sides may have dense forests or higher mountains. Therefore, the side that really needs to transplant shrubs is less than [-] feet away from the side facing the bottom of the mountain. Others A few sides only need to be replanted as needed.

Su Yunduo walked around the mountain depression and found that it was more appropriate than he imagined. He couldn't help giving Ning Zhongping a thumbs up in his heart. While everyone was still transplanting small shrubs, he quickly took Su Zexuan down the mountain to prepare meals.

After planting the small shrubs, Ning Zhongping looked around again and felt that there was no more work for the brothers to do, so he planned to let everyone call it a day. One of the men surnamed Deng patted his shoulder and pointed to the mountain road: "Daping, we all come here Well, it's still early, why don't we clear up this road by the way?"

Ning Zhongping narrowed his eyes and looked at the way down the mountain. Although the old friend's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, the way down the mountain might not be easy to move. The mountain road without hot springs is nothing compared to the mountain pass. It must be frozen and cannot be dug. Well.

Several strong men tried it together, and sure enough, the mountain road was frozen into dead lumps. It was like digging a huge boulder, and it couldn't be dug at all. Didn't even mention it!
Facing the mountain road, a group of people sighed and shook their heads regretfully, and they had no choice but to call it a day and go down the mountain.

Although he failed to build the mountain road into steps as he wished, Su Yunduo was very satisfied with today's results. It only took less than two hours before and after, and Shen Shi called it a day.

Not only ditches have been opened in the mountain depression, but also wind-shielding shrubs have been planted. Next, the family only needs to improve the ditches one or two times, and most of the hot spring water can be introduced into the depression to increase the temperature of the depression. The planting area of ​​the depression is Will be able to more than double.

When Ning Zhongping took everyone down the mountain, Su Chengzhi was enthusiastically keeping Liu Donglin who came to inquire about the situation, and Su Yunduo had almost prepared a table of rich food and wine.

"Brother Donglin, don't refuse. These are my good brothers, and they are not outsiders. In the past, my brothers-in-law and sisters were all thanks to Brother Donglin's care, and there are still many places to rely on in the future. It's just a meal Well, isn’t Brother Donglin so polite?” Seeing Liu Donglin’s look of wanting to leave and stay, Ning Zhongping instantly guessed his true inner thoughts and smiled to help Su Chengzhi stay away.

Liu Donglin really wanted to stay, not because he was greedy for the Su family's sumptuous dinner, but because he was really curious about what the Su family was doing in the mountain during the winter, and he didn't find anything useful from Su Chengzhi's father and daughter. , I just want to stay and listen to what these guys have to say, and I can always hear something.

Su Yunduo could guess the purpose of Liu Donglin's visit without even thinking about it.

Su Chengzhi wanted to keep Liu Donglin at home for dinner, Su Yunduo was actually a little worried, but when Ning Zhongping asked to keep him, she was much less worried, she knew that Ning Zhongping was not the kind of person who was not worth it.
