Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 498
Mu Ai's family stayed at the seaside for only three days, Kong Xi and others brought a motorcade to find them, everyone greeted the master's family, and the children brought their servants who had been separated for a long time, and went out to play.

Xiaoan's maidservants left the master for a long time, and when they finally saw the master, they were overjoyed and unwilling to rest for a moment. They immediately took over the cleaning of the entire villa and the kitchen and other errands, making Caiyun Zhuiyue and Qiaoyun Qiaoyue much more relaxed.

Kong Xi and the others used to guard the border near southern Xinjiang, and heard that someone was dragged away by a big fish while swimming in the sea. Going back to bundles of new fishing nets, I found a place where the water flow was the slowest, fixed it with sharpened wooden stakes, pulled up the fishing nets, and circled a safe place. Although this is not safe, I must send two more people to stand on the shore Border guard.

Although Mu Ai felt that it was a little fussy after seeing it, she didn't stop her.After all, the great white shark movie in the previous life was too shocking.It is impossible for sharks to come up to such a shoal, but there are many peculiarities in this time and space. It is difficult to guarantee that there are some strange creatures that threaten the lives of the children. She does not want to take risks.

A total of a dozen children and their own servants made a bet with each other, and they learned how to drink water, wishing that they would soak in the water from time to time besides eating. In less than two days, they all soaked well. The skin on his body was wrinkled and his face was tanned.

Although Xing'er envied her, she also knew that she was a girl, and that she couldn't go to the sea to play with her brothers, so she felt a little depressed.

Although Ouyang didn't say much, he loved the children, but he was better than Mu Ai. With Cui Meng and the others, they dug a large pond two feet wide and five feet deep behind the villa, and the walls and bottom of the pool were paved. Green bricks, poured into sea water.A wooden frame was even set up on the pond. I was worried that the linoleum would not be airtight, so I planted some grapes on the moxa on the sides. The green grape vines, leaves, and bunches of small grapes densely covered the sun and covered the water. The visitation of outsiders is like a small green bunker.

Xing'er hugged her father's arm and cheered, clamoring to make two good dishes to thank her father tonight, Mu Ai remembered her immature cooking skills, fearing that her husband would spoil his stomach, she quickly persuaded her daughter to change to the best cooking porridge.

Shuan Shuan left the backyard of the county government office. Every day, he was accompanied by his sister and a few children to chat and laugh. He ate delicately, his complexion became better and better, and he felt that he had gained strength. He walked out of the house and sat under the vine, embroidering a small With shoes and a small bellyband, he smiled and watched his sister flopping around in the pool with Xinger and Caiyun Chasing Moon.

Not to be outdone, Haizi twisted his body and often climbed up the edge of the pool. Muai turned the big tub out, filled most of it with spring water, and soaked him in it. The fat boy patted the water with both hands, giggling all the way can hear.

In just a few days, the children had all learned how to swim, and Dayu and Tao'er carried their backpacks and rode around the surrounding villages and towns within a hundred miles, thinking of ways to change the local poverty. situation.By the way, look for a large dock and see if you can build a big boat for the family to go out to sea.

Simba and Cheng'er took Fengshou Yushun, Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan to the fishing village all day long, and followed the children from the fishing village to fish for seaweed and sea fish. Of course, most of them took other people's fishing boats near the beach Had a good time paddling a few times.

The fishermen have lived here for generations. Although they have little knowledge, they can be guessed from the clothes of the children and the gift boxes sent to their homes that they are children of wealthy families.

I was a little apprehensive at first, but later I saw that the children respected their elders very much and got along well with their own children, so I was relieved.Sometimes when it's time for meals, they even collect the delicious food at home and keep them for dinner.

Those fish porridge, fish soup, grilled fish, fried fish, fishermen are used to eating, even bored, but a few children are very novel, although they have made it at home, but it is too delicate, not as good as the fisherman's original sauce The original taste, so I bothered a few meals.

Mu Ai knew that the fishermen were not living well, so how could they let the children grab their rations, so she often asked them to bring the children from the fishing village back to play, and they could eat snacks and fruits as they wished, and occasionally asked them to help pull out the rations. Grass, or a few baskets of fresh kelp, and then send a few feet of cotton cloth and a few catties of rice as rewards for them to take back.

At first, the fishermen would come to return the money, but when they saw the appearance of the villa from a distance, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and then backed away, despite the persuasion of the guards and maids, they refused to go forward, saying that they were humble and could not be trampled on. The residence of the fairy.

Everyone was amused to hear it, but the fishermen would respectfully and joyfully pick up some items if they sent them over in the future.

After dinner that day, Ouyang carried Haizi on his neck, took Muai with one hand, and took the whole family to the beach for a walk.

The surface of the sea was dyed fiery red by the sunset, and seagulls occasionally flew by, making clear and crisp calls. The family was dragged on the beach in the setting sun, intimate and happy.

The three little ones, Xinba Chenger and Xinger, ran ahead playing and playing, while Dayu and Tao'er stayed with their parents. Talking about what they had seen and heard in the past few days, Dayu said, "Mom, there are fishermen in this seaside area. Our life is too difficult, some children are seven or eight years old, still naked, without clothes, let alone read and write."

Tao'er also said, "Brother Yu and I traveled to seven or eight villages, and none of them had a school. We only met one or two in the town, and there were no more than twenty schoolchildren. It is reasonable for these fishermen to pick up from the sea. Coral or pearls are very valuable, even if you catch one or two items every month, it will be enough for a family to eat, so you won’t be in such a difficult situation.”

Mu Ai squatted down and picked up a dark red shell under her feet, stroked the sand on it, handed it to Haizi to play with, and asked, "Then, have you found the reason?"

"It should be considered to have been found. There are shops that buy these objects in the town and the county, but the shops are short-sighted, the price is too low, and the exploitation is too heavy. A pearl the size of a thumb can be sold for five taels of silver in Kao City. If It will be several times higher if it is set on a silver hairpin or golden hairpin, but here fishermen can only sell it for a few dozen pennies."

After Dayu finished speaking, Tao'er also interjected, "The purchase price is too low, which makes the fishermen lazy to take risks to salvage. It's better to sell a boat of sea fish for a higher price."

"You want to open a shop here and buy it at a high price?" Mu Ai asked with a smile.

Tao'er shook her head, "We want to open a workshop, buy pearls and corals at a high price, make ornaments or jewelry, and then ship them back to the north for sale. In this way, the people here will not only go to the sea to salvage them, but also have more opportunities to work."

"Then open a part-time work-study school, teaching children to read and write in the morning, and working in the workshop in the afternoon."

Hearing that the two children were so thoughtful, Mu Ai smiled and patted them on the shoulder, and praised, "This method is good, the profit is very high, and it can also improve the living conditions of the local people. You can try it."

Dayu and Tao'er got their mother's praise, and immediately felt confident in their hearts, and smiled at the same time.

"Where do you plan to open the workshop?" Mu Ai asked, looking up and seeing Haizi playing for a while, he was about to put the shell in his mouth and bite, so he quickly reached out and snatched it, picked an apple from the space and stuffed it for him to eat with.

Dayu hesitated for a moment and said, "My hometown and Xinger's are near here. I want to go back in a few days and have a look. If it's suitable, I want to build it there and bring the villagers to earn more money. And I heard people say , there is a shipyard near Bailu City, we also want to ask if we can build a big ship."

"Hometown?" Mu Ai suddenly remembered that she had promised her two children before that she would accompany them to visit their hometown and pay homage to their parents. For a while, one thing followed another, but such an important thing was forgotten.

So he immediately said, "How can I let you go back alone? Your father and I are also going to worship. It just so happens that the beach here is shallow and we can't park a big boat. Let's go north and find a good place to build a small pier. Go to sea. Go back and prepare, and we will be on the road the day after tomorrow."

Dayu was already ten years old when he left home to escape, and he remembered things much more clearly than Xinger. Although he had been with his mother for so many years and had a good life, he still thought of his childhood, especially when his parents rescued their brothers and sisters. , was washed away by the flood, and the bodies were nowhere to be found. In order to survive, they followed the victims to the north, and they did not build a tomb for their parents. They felt guilty all the time.At this time, I heard that mom and dad were going to take the whole family to accompany them back to their hometown to pay respects. They were so grateful that they blushed and bowed their heads in salute.

As the sun set, the family went back to the valley and slept peacefully. On the second day, they packed their luggage, sent rice and fruits to the fishermen as farewell gifts, and set out on the road lightly.

Although Mu Ai had people stop Wei Zhixian from coming to the door, Shuan Shuan still knew something vaguely, and he agreed with moving to a farther place, and the joy on his face never faded all the way north.

Gao Gu was originally in the middle of Zecheng and Bailu City, and after traveling northward for only two days, at noon, he arrived at Bailipu, a small town less than eighty miles away from Bailu City.

Lu Yun hurriedly went to Bailu City to deliver letters to Mu Liu and Xia Zhi who were in charge of the shop, and everyone passed through the town all the way, and after walking for a dozen miles, they saw the small village of forty or fifty families from a distance.

The village is backed by a small hill. There are no tall and dense forests on the hill, only scattered low bushes. In front of the village is a big river. The abundant river rushes by, hitting the small stone bridge in the river. It was as if it would collapse. Thinking about it, it was this river that flooded back then that took the lives of Dayu Xing'er's parents.

Mu Ai looked at the sky, it was not the end of the day, so she told Kong Xi to find a secluded and quiet place to camp.Kong Xi agreed, looked around, and finally drove the carriage down the path, hidden behind a dense fir forest.
