Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 14

Zhu Shijun will be busy in the next few days.After returning to the village from the mountain that day, he asked Aunt Lian to hire four unemployed strong men in the village and paid 20 yuan each, and found eight woven sacks, and went up the mountain together.

When going down the mountain again, each man carried tightly packed mountain soil on his shoulders.

This story was quickly spread in the village. At the end of the 90s, labor was not as good as it is now. A cement worker only paid so much a day.Carrying two sacks, you can get such a high salary, which can catch up with the income of ordinary people for more than half a month. It is no wonder that the gossips in the village shouted with envy.

"Spending 80 yuan to get eight bags of soil, don't you think that old man is stupid?" The men in the village said that the most valuable thing in the mountainous area is soil, and Leigong Mountain is full of red and acidic ravines. The soil is not fertile, and the crops grown are also small, and the Zhushi army still spends money to hire people to move the soil. Isn't that stupid?
Southeast Miao Village is located on the hillside of Heishan, with an altitude of 500 meters. To get to Gecun, you must pass the dilapidated cable bridge on Bailongtan.As soon as Zhu Shijun got busy, he forgot to ask Xiao Xian to apologize to Shan Miao Village.

"The old man's hands and feet are quite nimble, and he can catch up with the craftsmen in the village." Sisters of Lian folded the pods, watched the old man Zhu Shijun busy behind the house, and teased Xiaoxian to talk.

The one-acre three-point land behind the Zhu family has been completely changed.When the old masters first moved here, they still couldn't let go of the affairs of the capital, and saw that their granddaughter was not used to life in the mountains, so they didn't put their minds on the wasteland behind the house at all.After seeing the tough old Metasequoia tree on the mountain, I finally realized it.His life has been full of ups and downs, he has endured the cold at high places, and he should also have endured the inner torment at low tide.

The old scaffolding of the loofah was dismantled, and the bamboo fences that had not decayed were also picked out.The old men borrowed tools from the village head's house again, hammers, saws, nails, and hoes were all over the floor.The white pear tree was growing well, so the old masters were not willing to cut it down, so they used those few good bamboo fences to enclose a piece of land, which was used as a pear garden.

"Xiao Xian, come here and beat Grandpa's shoulders. The old bones are useless." The old masters have been busy for three days, dismantling the loofah stand, and turning over the soil in the old field with a hoe.After rest, pick up the useless stones in the field, and prepare the mountain soil accumulated by the fallen leaves of the fir tree as the base soil. Only then will the soil improvement of one mu of land be considered complete.

Aunt Lian hurriedly fetched a basin of water, washed the old man's hands, moved a ladder, and picked the last few pears from the white pear tree before the pears were too old to support.Xiao Xian moved a stool for Mr. Zhu to sit on, and then swung his small fist up and down, making Zhu Shijun's whole body very comfortable.

"Grandpa, you've been tired for several days, so why don't you ask Xiao Xian to help you?" After Li Ye's incident, Aunt Lian's supervision of Xiao Xian became even stricter, and she was trapped in Xiao Xian all day long. in the house.

"Our little Xian has grown up too, so let's help grandpa pick up the rocks in the field." Zhu Shijun saw that Xiaoxian had really grown a lot in the past few days, and he was no longer picky when eating. Waking up early in the morning, holding a small washbasin and a small tooth cup, it was completely different from when she was in Beijing, so she was relieved to let her toss around in the field.

"Okay," Xiaoxian said without saying a word, found two wooden sticks outside the house, and picked up stones from the acre of land.

The sun was dazzling, and Zhu Shijun felt dizzy, so he stood against the wall for a while, waiting for the scene in front of him to return to normal, and then opened his eyes again.

Aunt Lian, who came back from picking the pears, was looking at the pears in the basket, "Grandpa, take a look, these pears seem to be different."

On the white pear tree, there were dozens of hard-to-pick pears hanging a few days ago. Aunt Lian saw that the grandparents of the Zhu family didn't like the tasteless wild pears in the mountains, so she didn't rush to pick them off.But for some reason, those pears that even the birds are too lazy to peck a few mouthfuls will lose five or six pears every night. Xiao Xian, who got up early one morning, said that he saw more than a dozen sparrows parked on the tree, pecking them. Eat some of the pears.

Zhu Shijun took out a pair of reading glasses from his coat pocket, and took a pear casually.Among the pears that Aunt Lian picked, only five or six pears were not pecked by birds, and the one he held in his hand was pretty good.The fruit has not been bumped, and the skin surface has turned yellowish brown. Looking at the fruit body is very plump, when the military nails are gently pinched, transparent pear juice will flow out.The fresh fragrance of the pulp gushes out immediately.

"Sister Lian, did you pick this white pear from a pear tree?" Even an old man like Zhu Shijun, who is used to eating expensive fruits, was hooked by the fresh and sweet pear fragrance. next bite.The pear flesh fell between the teeth, full of elasticity, the flesh was firm, and the pear juice was sweet and refreshing. After several mouthfuls, the pear core was still missing. Zhu Shijun's previous fatigue disappeared after eating this pear.

"It's just picked from a pear tree. I don't know if it's my eyesight. The fruit picked from a pear tree looks different. It's about the same size, but it weighs a lot in my hand. "Sisters of Lotus put the pears beside the hand press and washed them one by one.

Zhu Shijun was still holding the pear pit in his hand, he didn't throw it away immediately, and walked to the back of the room.

Just as he was about to look at the pear tree, he was distracted by the busy little figure beside him.

Zhu Shijun had never seen Zhu Xiaoxian with such an expression. The pair of calfskin shoes brought from the capital were carefully placed in the shade out of the dirt.Xiao Xian has bare feet, and holds two wooden sticks in his hand. He uses his thumb and forefinger to fasten them to the tiger's mouth of his right hand. He bends over, his eyes widen, not to mention how serious he is. When he moves his fingers, the two wooden sticks are like The spirit snake came out of the hole and quickly picked it up in the soil, which was more agile than Zhu Shijun's hand picking.

The soil in Ge Village is mountain soil, and there have been several mudslides in the mountains in the past years. There are many small stones mixed in the soil, and there are so many of them. It really takes a whole day to sort them out.But they were all picked out by her and piled up next to them, which was as high as a pile of hills. Looking at the progress, more than half of them had passed.

"Xiao Xian, stop and have a rest," Mr. Zhu saw that his throat was blocked, he brought a pear over, peeled the skin, and asked Xiao Xian to rest first.

It was he who made his little granddaughter implicated, or Xiaoxian should be the same age as those little girls in Beijing, wearing brand-new princess dresses, acting like a spoiled child in the arms of her parents.

"Not tired, such a small place is much worse than before," Xiao Xian was used to running around in Yunteng Mountain, picking up more stones every day than today.Just as she was about to take the pear, she glanced at it, stopped her hand, and opened her mouth wide, "Grandpa, this pear?"
