Chapter 32

In the next few days, old man Mu felt anxious because his feet could not touch the ground. Thinking that the life at home was not easy, and now he was like a useless person again, the anxiety in his heart became even greater.

He couldn't stay idle, so he asked Mrs. Lin to weave the remaining bamboo strips for him, and leaned half on the bedside to continue weaving baskets, flower baskets, vegetable baskets and the like.

Because Mu Li gave wild game to Yipinxuan a few days ago, the shopkeeper and the shop assistants disliked the small quantity, and they looked down on them, so this time she planned to get a big one.

Mu Li looked contentedly at the big trap that had been set up, even if the wild boar came this time, it would definitely be impossible to escape.

After the trap was set, Mu Li went to find Mu Qing.

The terrain here is relatively flat, and it is only about two miles away from the Qingling River. Even if there is a drought, it is very convenient to fetch water for irrigation.

It is precisely because of this that the villagers are more keen to reclaim land on flat terrain, away from rivers or wells.

First, the soil fertility in these places is strong enough, and second, irrigation is convenient.

Therefore, these good plots are basically reclaimed by various families, and the land under Mu Qing's feet is a good plot that Mu Li accidentally discovered and has not been thought of by other villagers.

So, she quickly asked Mu Qing to come over to reclaim the wasteland.

However, this good land also has a disadvantage, that is, it is a bit far from home.

When Mu Li arrived at the place, Mu Qing was wielding a hoe to plow the land, and Xiao Mu Xuan followed behind to pick up rocks and weeds that had been hoeed.

"Brother, Ah Xuan."

Hearing Mu Li's voice, Xiao Mu Xuan threw away the small stone in his hand and ran towards her, "Sister, I'm so thirsty."

Seeing his blushing face and sweat on his forehead, Mu Li hurriedly dragged him to a cool place, opened the stopper of the water bag, Xiao Muxuan took the water bag and gulped it down.

It seems that he is very thirsty.

Mu Qing threw the hoe on the ground, walked to the shade, took off the towel hanging around her neck, wiped off the sweat from her face, and said, "Why are you here at this hour? Put the water bag here quickly Go back and come back when the weather cools down."

Mu Qing loves her sister dearly, and doesn't want her to suffer with him under the scorching sun.

After Xiao Muxuan finished drinking the water, she raised her sleeve to wipe her mouth, then handed the water bag to Mu Li, and Mu Li handed the water bag to Mu Qing, watching Mu Qing gulp down the water, she looked around and thought It is estimated that this land must be five or six acres in size, and when all these are plowed, it is estimated that it will be August.

"One more person means more strength. I can't just let my brother do it alone."

Xiao Muxuan shouted: "There is still me, there is still me, my sister forgot about me."

He had been trying to pick up rocks just now.

By the way, there is also weeding.

My elder brother just caressing about plowing the land without doing anything. He not only has to pick up stones, but also weeds, which is much more tiring than his elder brother's work.

Mu Li smiled and patted his head, "Ah Xuan is the best."

Mu Qing found a stone pier and sat down, the sweat on her face never stopped, she wiped it off with a towel again.

The hot wind blew past, and the body seemed to be roasted by the flames, and the whole body was hot.

Mu Qing looked at this large piece of mountain land, frowned and asked: "Sister, I think these are all sandy land, what do we plan to use for planting in the future?"

The sandy soil is loose, and many crops cannot be grown.

Mu Li pointed to a piece of land, "I plan to plant watermelons on this land in the future. Watermelons grown in sandy land have very high sugar content, so they must be delicious."

"The land next to the mountain is planted with sweet potatoes."

"Here, peanuts are planted, and the peanuts produced can be squeezed into peanut oil."

"The farthest field can be planted with pear trees. When spring comes and the pear blossoms bloom, we can still come here to enjoy the pear blossoms. When the fruits are ripe, we can also take the pears to the town or county to sell. .”

Speaking of excitement, Mu Li was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Mu Qing raised her head and looked at her sister with a smile in her eyes, "Okay, I will do as you said from now on."

After saying that, he stood up and continued to plow the land.

He turned around and confessed: "It's still hot now, you and Ah Xuan should rest here first, and then do it when it cools down."

Mu Li smiled and said: "I'm not hot right now, if I'm tired from work, I'll go and rest by myself."

Mu Qing smiled and touched the top of Mu Li's head, and continued to devote herself to the work with her face on the loess and her back on the sky.

Mu Li is just in front of the rocks, gather them into a pile, and later put them into a basket and throw them into the mountain. There are still a lot of dead branches here, and Mu Li also gathers these dead branches into a pile. Take one home and burn it as firewood.

If Mu Li couldn't get rid of dead trees or small tree stumps, he would leave them to Mu Qing to chop with a hoe later.

Xiao Muxuan followed behind Mu Li, bent over, imitating Mu Li, picking up small stones and dead branches.

With Mu Li's participation, Mu Qing's efficiency in plowing the land is much faster.

Straightening up, Mu Li wiped off the profuse sweat on his forehead, glanced at Mu Qing who was far away, wiped off the sweat that had slid down his chin, and glanced at Mu Xuan who was far away from him, little Mu Xuan picked up small stones He was so concentrating that he ran away without knowing it.

"Ah Xuan, come back, don't run too far."

Mu Li shouted.

There are mountains here, and children cannot leave the sight of adults.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Muxuan saw himself throwing away the long distance away from his elder brother and sister, a sense of pride and pride spontaneously arose in his heart, he dropped the pebble, and ran towards Muli with short legs.

Mu Li wiped off the sweat from his face, and patted his little head: "You are tired, go and rest under the shade of the tree."

Xiao Muxuan nodded heavily, and ran to the shade of the tree.

Mu Li walked towards Mu Qing, and behind him began to pick out the weeds that had been plowed out. Once the weeds were hoeed, they had to be thrown away as soon as possible. The vitality of the grass is extremely tenacious, and it is easy to take root and grow again of.

Mu Li gathered the picked weeds into piles and piles, and then put them all into the back basket, and dumped them down the mountain.

The three of them were busy until the sun was setting and the red light was shining everywhere, and then they went back dressed in the glow of the sun.

Little Mu Xuan was tired and bent over, he had no strength and didn't want to move at all, so Mu Qing put Mu Xuan in the basket and carried him home.

When she got home, Mrs. Lin had already cut and prepared all the ingredients that Muli had prepared for noon, and was waiting for Muli to come back to season them.

Mu Li washed his hands, took a large pot containing green vegetables, fungus, day lily, enoki mushroom, pork, and shiitake mushrooms, put in various seasonings, and finally poured in a few drops of sesame oil and stirred.

Take Lin's cut tofu skin, put the stuffing on the tofu skin, and when the tiger's mouth is clamped, a small lucky bag will appear. Finally, tie the mouth tightly with leeks and put it on the grate.

Lin looked at it and found it novel, and said with a smile: "What kind of dish is this? Don't say it looks like a small lucky bag."

"Buns wrapped in tofu skin." Mu Li smiled lightly.

Seeing that it was very simple to make buns with tofu skin, Lin picked up a piece of tofu skin and wrapped it up like Mu Li.

Because there are a lot of bags, it will be dark by the time the mother and wife finish their work.

 Today, the team building of the male ticket company went to Universal Studios, and I was a little envious. Although I can bring my family, I am so embarrassed to go, right?So I bought tickets for the Great Wall and wanted to go out for a stroll; I have always wanted to see what the Great Wall covered in silver looks like, so the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I looked forward to it, so I immediately gave the ticket to It’s fixed; I thought I’d rested for three days, and it should be better on Saturday, but it turned out that it’s not better at all┭┮﹏┭┮I have no choice but to change the ticket to next week, but there will be no snow next week , what a pity (╥╯^╰╥)
