The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 30 Windfall
Since the small courtyard here was built, folks in Geshan Village seldom go this way. Originally, Su Yunduo was timid, and he never took a step here.

Although he has gone through this kind of fantasy journey that can only be seen in novels, Su Yunduo believes in the ghost story but is not afraid, so that day he gritted his teeth and took the family with him when his father was seriously ill and his mother was at a loss what to do. Live in this fabled haunted compound.

Now it seems that this small courtyard is not bad except that the house is a bit dilapidated. Although it is inevitable that people will come to the door, it is better to be tortured under the eyes of others all the time. In short, Su Yunduo feels that it is far away from the old house. Some, at least out of sight, out of mind, and peace of mind!
As for the benefits, Su Yunduo squinted his eyes, looking at the empty yard, he couldn't help being a little crazy.

The size of this yard is naturally marked on the house deed. Su Yunduo knows that the yard covers an area of ​​two acres.

If it weren't for the villagers' suspicion that this is a haunted house, it might not be enough to buy this yard, let alone five taels of silver.

Looking at it for no reason on weekdays only makes people feel dilapidated and barren. The whole yard can be seen except for a small front yard and a few earthen houses, and the rest of the place is almost completely covered by weeds.

Because of these overgrown weeds, the yard was even more dilapidated and barren.

Unexpectedly, looking down from this halfway up the mountain, it gives people a completely different feeling.

Even though his eyes were still full of desolation, Su Yunduo felt a kind of joy like getting a treasure in his heart.

It turns out that besides having a well in the backyard of this yard, there is also such a little-known advantage.

From this angle, Su Yunduo finally understood the reason why the original residents of this courtyard could live a leisurely life, and this courtyard must have played a considerable role.

The backyard, which is about two acres in size, was planned into several plots by the original owner.

It's just that now the land is barren and full of weeds. Standing in the yard and looking at it, it is a wasteland overgrown with weeds, but looking at it from here, it can be clearly seen that the yard was once organized into large and small well-organized areas. a few plots.

It seems that although the original residents did not buy land for farming, at least they made good use of the two acres of land in the yard to grow some vegetables and fruits. No wonder the villagers never saw them buy vegetables from the village and town, but often I saw them buying a whole truckload of rice noodles from the town.

As for meat, everyone in the village knew that the family would go hunting in the mountains from time to time, and as long as they went to the mountains, they would have a rich harvest, and they never returned empty-handed.

Occasionally, if you hunt too much, you will take it to the town to exchange for some needed grain, oil and salt.

Now it seems that there is some reason for this family to live a prosperous life, but why in the end the whole family died and left without one left, which made Su Yunduo very puzzled.

Of course, it's just doubts, Su Yunduo doesn't have so much leisure time to explore other people's secrets.

At this time, Su Yunduo was very excited. Their family didn't get a piece of land from the old house. Now that they discovered the secret of this yard, they naturally wanted to make good use of it.

I really didn't expect that this "adventure trip" decided on the spur of the moment, not only allowed their siblings to collect a mountain of dry firewood, but also let her discover the little secret of this yard. It was really worth it, so worth it!

When I go back, I have to think of a good way to clean up the backyard again. I can't let this yard be so barren.

It just so happens that the family doesn't even have a piece of low-grade land now, so it's not realistic to reorganize the backyard to solve the rations of the whole family, but it won't be a big problem to solve the vegetables and fruits that the family eats on weekdays.

No, you can still grow some rations, such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are all good things that can fill your stomach.

Of course, this season is not very suitable. This time and space is not like the plastic film in the previous life that can be used to make a greenhouse. Seeing that the season is about to enter winter, it seems that it is not suitable to plant anything.

But, Su Yunduo looked at the withered yellow weeds in the yard, and nodded with his chin involuntarily, with a smug smile on his face.

These weeds are now withered and yellow, and they only need to light a fire to burn them to ashes, and the leftover ash is a good thing for the land, which can be used to fertilize the land.

If the ground can be turned over again before the ground is frozen hard, and the ground will be turned over again when the freeze is thawed in the next spring, then some seasonal rapeseed can be sprinkled, and the family will soon be able to eat fresh vegetables. Plant some melons and fruits, maybe you can use these vegetables and fruits to go to the town to exchange for some food.

The more Su Yunduo thought about it, the more excited she became, as if a good day was waving to her ahead.

It's just that burning grass is not as simple as imagined, and it needs to be well planned. She doesn't want to burn grass and burn down a few dilapidated houses that the family relies on for shelter from the wind and rain. Then this winter will be difficult. .

Seeing Su Yunduo standing there without any movement for a while, just staring down the mountain in a daze, Su Zexuan followed her gaze to look at the small courtyard, seeing the deserted courtyard, the little boy couldn't help but sighed for a long time: "Sister, our courtyard It's really broken, there are weeds everywhere, I don't know if there will be snakes in it."

Su Yunduo felt a little scared after being told by Su Zexuan. Su Yunduo used to be afraid of snakes, but now Su Yunduo is also afraid of snakes.

In the previous life, Yunduo was bitten by a snake. Although the snake was not too poisonous, it still made Su Yunduo suffer a lot.

From then on, as long as Su Yunduo thinks of snakes, he will think of the bloody scene where the doctor used a scalpel to cut the skin and let the blood out. He hates snakes to such a degree that he is also a typical person who is bitten by a snake for ten years and fears the well. rope.

Before Su Zexuan said this, Su Yunduo deliberately let himself ignore the possible insects, snakes, rats and ants in the weeds, but now it is difficult to ignore them.

Although the weeds in the yard are already withered and yellow, because they are too lush, if you walk into the weeds, you will have to go over your knees. If you say that there are absolutely no insects, snakes, rats and ants, Su Yunduo dare not say.

Thinking of this, Su Yunduo only felt that his whole body was in a bad mood.

Although it's late autumn now, it's not the time for insects, snakes, rats and ants to hibernate. For the safety of the family, Su Yunduo feels that it is still necessary to deal with the weeds in the yard as soon as possible.

It's just that her family is sick, pregnant, and pregnant, and it's simply impossible to complete this task.

Now the family needs money but has no money, and there is a sick father who was "diagnosed" by the town doctor as having tuberculosis. Even if she can speak like a lot of tongues, I am afraid that not many people will come to help with such a thing.

However, although the method of burning weeds saves trouble, there must be a lot of people monitoring the fire!

At this time, Su Yunduo really missed the two uncles. If they could help them, they would naturally have a way to burn the weeds in the yard and at the same time protect the safety of several earthen huts.

It's just when will the two uncles come again, especially where is the little uncle now? !
