The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 24
Maybe, the Lu family didn't waste things and play with things for a while, with such thorough and meticulous preparations, maybe it would really work out.

With such doubts and curiosity, in the days to come, the villagers would wander around the Lujia vegetable shed whenever they were free.

Three poles in the sun helped to uncover the straw curtains, and the sun slanted to the west to help cover the straw curtains. That diligent appearance made Xiaomi's heart very warm, and he was a little bit dumbfounded.

After five or six days like this, Xiaomi took advantage of the best time of day to uncover a section of the shed with a coriander sign.

The originally thin and delicate yellow vegetable seedlings have completely changed their appearance after being exposed to the sun every day.

The shed is full of emerald green, and the three-inch-high parsley fills all the space. At the end of winter like this, it is really a joy to watch.

Xiaomi suppressed his ecstasy, and gently picked and folded two trees, one for Feng Jian beside him, and the other for his own mouth.

The fresh and tender taste and the fresh aroma made the two people who had tasted such delicious food one after another laugh.

"Brother Feng, I succeeded!"

Xiaomi couldn't hold back anymore, reached out and grabbed Feng Jian's arm and cheered.

Feng Jian pinched a piece of coriander leaf in his hand, and his eyes were full of joy, but also complicated.

Although he supported Xiaomi in tossing these vegetable sheds from the beginning, it was mostly out of pampering. In fact, he didn't believe that she would grow vegetables nearly two months earlier in such a cold northern land.

You know, in such a season, there are not many houses in the south of the Yangtze River that can eat green vegetables.

But it was just such a little girl, a clever and somewhat weird little girl who managed to succeed despite everyone's comments and distrust...

"Sister, don't eat alone, quickly pick one for me and try it!"

The members of the Lu family and the villagers stood behind, hearing what Xiaomi said, they rushed forward anxiously.Lu's second child was even more jumping, clamoring to taste it together.

"Second brother, don't you not eat coriander?"

Xiaomi scolded, but his subordinates still picked a handful from the edge of the shed and generously distributed it to everyone.

Lu Wu directly stuffed the parsley into his mouth, chewed it and grinned loudly, "Haha, it's really great. It's not in vain how many times I have traveled to Fucheng, facing the wind and snow, after all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Father Lu who arrived upon hearing the news slapped his son on the back of the head with a big slap.

"Who are you? You are full of nonsense!"

Lu Wu turned his head to look at his father's black face, smiled and ran away.

A few days after classes started on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Xiaomi handed over the literacy class to Father Lu on the pretext that he was too busy with work.

Father Lu won the honor of a scholar at the age of 16, but he never took the scientific examination again for unknown reasons, but his knowledge is first-class.

Naturally, the villagers would not object. Instead, they secretly wondered whether it would be easier for their children and grandchildren to get a job.

It was the naughty kids, because Father Lu's teaching was not as lively and interesting as Xiaomi's, so they mumbled for a few days.In the end, he succumbed to his parents' slaps and Father Lu's ruler.

Sure enough, just as Xiaomi hoped, Father Lu was busy with work, so he spent less time wiping the celadon pots in the house. He gained weight when he saw him, and his complexion improved a lot. This made the whole family happy stand up…

Seeing Father Lu coming, the villagers gathered around and praised him non-stop, with half of coriander in their mouths.

"Sir, millet is really amazing, this vegetable has really grown!"

"That's right, everyone thought she was messing around and wasting good things!"

"It's still freezing cold, if these vegetables are transported into the city, I'm afraid they will sell for a good price!"

Everyone was chattering, and it was inevitable to talk in a mess, but Father Lu rarely smiled when he heard it, "She is also messing around, and it would be great if she can get her money back. I usually bother everyone for help!"

Xiaomi is also smart and smart. Seeing his father like the villagers, he interjected at the right time, "It's not time to sell it yet, but it will be almost there in a few days. When the time comes, I will go to the city to find a buyer. Sell ​​more and sell less, we must clean up a few more banquet tables, and invite uncles and aunts to come and have fun at home."

"Haha, that's naturally good!"

The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, everyone and the Lu family have lived in Laoxiongling for many years, especially in the past six months, they have walked around a lot and get along very close.

Hearing Xiaomi's invitation now, with both wine and meat, he was naturally happy to accept it.

Someone couldn't help but asked again, "Xiaomi, I'm afraid that anyone who sees this green vegetable will buy two catties! What kind of buyer are you looking for?"

Xiaomi couldn't say much, so he replied vaguely, and then changed the topic.

Feng Jian stood aside, glanced at the little girl who smiled slyly like a little fox, and also raised the corners of her mouth...

Although the hard work paid off, Lu Xiaomi didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that the beasts that had just woken up from the winter on the mountain would smell the smell and ruin the vegetable shed, so at night, he asked Lu Erer to wrap up a sheepskin jacket and go to the vegetable field outside the courtyard to guard it.

The young people in the village all grew up with Lu Lao Er since childhood, and the friendship between the bare-faced dolls still stands the test.The left and right families were fine, they all came to Lu's vegetable garden with half a gourd of old wine, bragging and joking with Lu Lao Er, which made Lu Lao Er feel that the work of keeping watch at night was not so difficult.

As for the daytime, the Lu family didn't need to send someone to take care of the vegetable shed at all.As long as the old and young in the village go out, their legs will automatically walk to Lu's house.Not to mention birds and small animals, even a tiger and a black bear were scared away.Because these men who usually pick up bows and arrows and are possessed by killing gods, the honest and festive smiles towards Xiao Miao in the shed are really... It is too difficult for the "beast" to adapt.

Although there is not much progress, the sun is always getting warmer every day.

Seeing that the vegetable seedlings are already half a foot high, Xiaomi is ready to go to the city to find buyers the next day.

No, just after lunch that day, the 70-year-old Mr. Feng came to the door with his back bent and a big brass cigarette bag in his hand.

This old man is the oldest elder in the village, and he has experienced many hardships in his life. People in the village are willing to ask the old man for advice when they have something to do, and his prestige is very high.

Now that he personally came to the door like this, Lu Xiaomi rushed out to help him into the room. He arranged for snacks and tea, and settled the old man in the most spacious and comfortable chair.

Hearing the news, the father and son of the Lu family gathered in the main room, and Father Lu personally poured tea for this old man who was the same generation as the grandfather of the Lu family.

Finally, he asked, "Old man, the snow hasn't melted on this road yet, why are you here? If you need something, let the kids shout, and I'll just go over there."

Old Master Feng smiled and watched everyone in the Lu family busy for him, as if he was very satisfied, there were a few more wrinkles on his face.

He was not in a hurry to speak, and tapped the pipe in his hand on the leg of the chair twice, refilled the golden shredded tobacco, lit it up and took two puffs, and then said slowly, "Xiaomi, the one in your vegetable shed Should the vegetables be sold?"

Xiaomi didn't expect the old man to speak to her. He was a little puzzled, but he still responded with a smile, "Grandpa Feng is right, it's time to sell. I'm going to the city to find a buyer tomorrow."

Old Master Feng nodded, raised his eyes to look at the sky outside, but threw out a sentence, which instantly turned the Lu family upside down.

"I'm afraid there will be heavy snow tonight, very heavy snow!"

"What?" The impatient Lu Wu was the first to jump up, "That can't be done, it's been a waste of time since the vegetable seedlings froze to death!"

Boss Lu rubbed his hands anxiously, "What can I do, what can I do?"

Only Lu Xiaomi's face changed, but he didn't panic.

Old Master Feng nodded secretly, happy for the Lu family.

He was originally very good with the old man of the Lu family, and they went hunting together in the mountains many years ago.Of course, his ability is much worse than that of the old man Lu, and naturally he did not earn such a family fortune as the Lu family, but he also gave birth to children on Laoxiongling, and lived to his age without incident.

Before, he could not see that Father Lu was not as brave as his old friend, and he disliked him for being stupid in reading.After the Bai family passed away, the Lu family became even more unsightly.

Fortunately, the youngest daughter of the Lu family is not bad, she is smart and sensible, and she managed the Lu family well at a young age.

Now that he is leading his brothers to grow vegetables to make money, the Lu family is slowly showing a sense of prosperity, which is enviable.

The so-called family and everything prosper, the Lu family looks like this, even if they encounter a little difficulty, I am afraid that it will not hinder it.

Sure enough, Xiaomi frowned for a while, but slowly relaxed.

She waved her hands to signal the two elder brothers to calm down, then turned to look at Old Master Feng, "Grandpa Feng, in previous years, did it often snow heavily in late winter and early spring on our Old Xiong Ridge?"

"Yeah, there is snow almost every year at this time. But there are exceptions, not many."

Old Master Feng nodded, and said, "But this snow came and melted quickly. After that, the weather will get warmer day by day."

Hearing this, Xiaomi looked a little more relaxed.

"That's good. Thank you, Grandpa Feng, for coming here to let me know. I'll make some arrangements. Grandpa Feng will sit for a while longer. In the big pot in the kitchen, I boiled bone soup. You can drink two bowls later. It's okay to warm up before you go back." Not too late."

"Okay, old man, I won't be polite."

Old Master Feng did not refuse, but nodded with a smile.

Xiaomi didn't dare to delay any longer, she waved her two brothers and ran out.

Gao Ren, who is a professional listener, has already spread the words of Old Master Feng to the East Wing.

Feng Jian was fully dressed and was already waiting in the yard.

"If there is anything you need to help, just ask."

Although Lu Xiaomi had thought of countermeasures, he was still uneasy and sad in the face of the sudden disaster.

But at this moment, Feng Jian was standing in front of her, with broad shoulders, tall and straight figure, and a calm expression, like the most solid mountain, which could easily help her bear everything.

For some reason, Lu Xiaomi's heart jumped wildly again. She took a deep breath and said, "I need a quilt or a jacket, or anything that can keep out the cold. Straw curtains can't stop the sudden cold from the heavy snow, so I can only use thicker ones." Warmer."

Feng Jian nodded and turned to glance at Lao Yang.Lao Yang immediately turned around and went back to the house to tidy up the cotton quilts for the three of them.

Xiaomi opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but her bedding, together with that of her father and brother, was only five sets, barely enough to cover two vegetable sheds, which was a drop in the bucket.

At this time, it is always good to have a little help.
