The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 51 Half Acre of Rice Field
Lu Xiaomi was amused and helpless, so she got into the kitchen and was busy making lunch when she went out.

Feng Jian had been recovering from the injury for so long before, but she was used to cooking for the sick.My family ate rice and stir-fried vegetables, and the horse boy got a can of meat porridge.

Xu Shi smelled the scent and was very hungry. Even though his back was hurt, even though the place where he saw was too strange, the horse boy still gulped down all the porridge.

Xiaomi picked up the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing the stable boy trying to shrink himself up like a frightened little beast, looking very defensive, he somehow remembered those children who were abandoned by their parents in the orphanage in his previous life. His heart was sour, so he reached out and untied his head The braids were gently combed and bundled.

At the end, he comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, I have already bought you, you can work in our house from now on. As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will beat you. Eat well and dress warmly, you will soon It will get better."

Ma Tong didn't seem to understand Da Yuan's words, he looked a little dazed, staring at the comb in Xiaomi's hand without speaking.

Xiaomi looked puzzled, thought for a while, and put the poplar comb next to the horse boy's pillow, and went out with the bowls and plates.

The room became quiet, and the stable boy finally loosened his tense body. After a long while, he slowly stretched out his hand, took the wooden comb and stuffed it into his bosom...

The east wing of the Lu family was divided into a north room and a south room. Feng Jian's master and servant lived in the south room, and Ma Tong now occupies the north room to recuperate from his injuries.Xiaomi was thinking about that domineering boy Gao Ren, and was afraid that he would bully the stable boy, so he wanted to ask him for some advice.But no one could be found anywhere, but Lao Yang responded with a smile, "The young master sent him to do something."

Xiaomi was curious about what Feng Jian had to deal with, but the question only lingered in her heart, and she didn't say it out.

It just so happened that Feng Jian came back from the outside, his hands were stained with dirt, and he obviously went to the vegetable garden.

Xiaomi went to the well, helped fetch water, and said, "Brother Feng, wash your hands here!"

Feng Jian smiled and stretched out his hand, and Xiaomi rolled up his sleeves for him. The two cooperated tacitly, and they seemed so naturally close, which made Lao Yang smile and blow a smoke ring at the blue sky.

"Xiaomi, you said earlier that rice can be grown in the North, but is there still time in this climate?"

Feng Jian washed off the dirt on his hands in twos and threes. Compared with his usual calmness, his expression was a little more solemn.

Xiaomi poured the dirty water into the corner of the yard, and replied as he walked, "It's too late, but the paddy fields need to be near the river for easy irrigation. Our house doesn't have a good location."

Unexpectedly, Feng Jian did not give up after hearing this, and asked again, "If you only try to plant half an acre, what about carrying water for irrigation?"

Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "It's okay, but it's just a little bit harder."

"Tomorrow I will plant thin seedlings with you."

Feng Jian's voice was low, but there was a force that could not be changed. Xiaomi shrugged and replied, "I'll ask my second brother to open another field next to the vegetable garden. However, I'm afraid there are no rice seeds in the city."

"I'll figure out a way to deal with the rice seeds."

"it is good."

With just a few words, the two of them decided on a major event that was earth-shattering for Da Yuan and would benefit future generations.

Xiaomi didn't ask Feng Jian why he was so urgent and persistent in planting rice, and Feng Jian never said it, but Xiaomi was sure, a person who could fight under a horse's hoof but was injured, but kept her in his arms, how could he easily hurt her .

Of course, taking a step back, if the final result is cruel and painful, then it is just a loss of a way to grow rice, and she has gained a clear view of a person's true nature because of this, right?
When spring comes, everything grows, and the earth warms up completely. Almost every time the sun rises again, the world looks different.

The grass grows wildly, and the mountains and forests are also obsessed with the lushness. The birds fly around to find grass roots and dead branches, build a warmer and stronger nest, and then lay a few eggs carefully, and take care of them diligently until the birth of a new life …

Beside the vegetable garden of the Lu family, within half a day, a small field of three feet square was opened, and the clods of soil were beaten to pieces.The villagers were curious, and when they saw Feng Jian rolling up his trouser legs to pick up water to soak in the fields, they stared even more. In less than half a day, all the people in the village, old and young, came to see what was new.

Some people couldn't bear to be curious and wanted to ask a few questions, but Feng Jian's treatment of Zhao Di'er that day was really impressive. Even though he didn't treat everyone with indifference and alienation after that, they still subconsciously respected him a lot in front of him. .Naturally, he didn't dare to pester him to ask what this pool of mud was for.

And Xiaomi was busy soaking rice seeds, and the thin seedlings were even more invisible.

It wasn't until half a month later that the tiny seedlings were taken out of the greenhouse like turf and sent to the edge of the paddy field. Only then did the villagers understand that they were going to grow rice.

Anzhou is located in the northernmost part of the Yuan Dynasty. Poor people may not see Japonica rice a few times in their lifetime, let alone see how rice is planted.

Although the villagers are used to Xiaomi's whimsical ideas, this matter is still too scary.

Old Master Feng heard the report from the villagers and rushed over in person.The old man was squatting on the edge of the field, smoking dry tobacco, and staring at the seedlings that had just set up camp in the field.

The seedlings are arranged neatly like soldiers, under the already warm and intoxicating spring breeze, carefully looking at this strange world, quietly stretching out their arms, and greedily absorbing them. sunlight and moisture.So fragile, but also seems to contain endless vitality...

Old Master Feng's eyes were inexplicably solemn. After finishing his cigarette, he cleaned the pipe pot and told the villagers in a deep voice, "Listen to me. Before autumn, no outsiders are allowed to enter the village. Especially the vegetable garden of Xiaomi. , drive all the naughty kids away, whoever dares to move a finger, don't blame me for pushing him out of Old Xiongling!"

Everyone was looking at the excitement and novelty, but they didn't expect the old man to value it so much. Although they were curious, they still agreed.

"Old Master Feng, don't worry, everyone knows about it."

"Yeah, if you don't tell me, we won't go out and talk nonsense. Who knows what good things Xiaomi has made. If outsiders find out, they may come to fight again."

In the distance, Feng Jian stepped on the mud with both feet. Because he bent over for a long time to plant rice seedlings, his head and face were flushed with blood, his hair was soaked in sweat and clinging to his cheeks, and his clothes were even more muddy. He was really embarrassed.But he didn't stop what he was doing, and his expression even revealed a hint of piety and hope.

Xiaomi squatted on the ridge of the field, and originally wanted to go to the field to plant rice seedlings, but was stopped by everyone before he took off his shoes.How can a girl's house be in broad daylight, barefoot in front of people.Not to mention stepping in the dirty mud...

Xiaomi was helpless and wanted to try throwing rice seedlings, but was stopped by Lao Yang.Even if he planted each tree carefully, he was still worried that the seedlings would delay their survival, so he would not be willing to waste millet like this.

Xiaomi wanted to say that there was a seedling-throwing technique in her previous life, but she had only heard about it, and she couldn't convince Lao Yang when she really knew it.

Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, Xiaomi jumped up, planning to go back and boil some tea to quench everyone's thirst.Unexpectedly, the stable boy came around the corner with the kettle in hand.

This kid had been injured for half a month, Xu could see that the Lu family were good people, so he let go of his guard the next day, drank the medicine and ate nothing.Grassland people grow rough like weeds, and if they are raised like this, they can go to the ground even if the wound on their back has just scabbed over.

Xiaomi found Lu's second child's old clothes and asked Aunt Liu to change them for him, and taught him to help with some chores.Perhaps the living habits in the grasslands are different from those in the mainland. The horse boy was very clumsy at first, but he quickly learned the basics, and Xiaomi kept praising him for being smart.

He took good care of the six horses of the Lu family, and cleaned the stables. He was much more diligent than the unreliable Lu Er Er and the gluttonous Gao Ren.

The only regret is that the kid doesn't understand Dayuan dialect, so every time Xiaomi communicates with him, he dances and dances. From a distance, he thinks the two are arguing.

Fortunately, after getting along for a long time, the tacit understanding has gradually grown, and it has gradually become much easier.

Xiaomi took the teapot and gave the stable boy a thumbs up, but when she lifted the lid of the teapot, she still sighed amusedly.

A pot full of water, only put a dozen tea leaves...

The tea leaves on the prairie are so precious that no matter how many times she told her, the stable boy refused to put more tea leaves in the water.

It's a pity that the praise has already been sent out and cannot be taken back, so she can only raise her hand and knock on the forehead of the smirking boy.

The stable boy grinned his thick lips, showing two rows of white teeth, no matter how he looked at him, he looked a little smug.

Gao Ren ran over from nowhere, slapped the horse boy on the back of the head, and shouted, "Hey horse boy, are you running here to pretend to be a fool again? Hmph, if you dare to grab the cake again, I will beat you all over the place." tooth!"

The stable boy was hurt so badly that he jumped up and chased after Gao Ren.Gao Ren was skilled in martial arts, and ran in front of him like a cat teasing a mouse, but the stable boy couldn't catch up. He was so angry that he directly pulled out a small tree by the side of the road to make a stick, and threw it at Gao Ren.

When the villagers saw it, they were all surprised and said, "This stable boy's strength is too great!"

"That's right, the grassland people eat differently from us. I heard that those foods give us strength!"

Xiaomi was also dumbfounded, and it took a while before he thought of opening his mouth to stop the two of them.

Gao Ren has lived in Lu's house for so long, after all his temper is not as weird and fierce as before, otherwise the stable boy would have been slapped to death, and there would be no chance for him to pull up trees and throw them.

"Gao Ren, the first day of junior high school, stop making trouble, come here!"

The first day of junior high school was Xiaomi's name for Ma Tong. Because of the language barrier, she didn't know Ma Tong's real name, so she casually took his name when he came to Lu's house, which was easy to remember and pleasant to hear.

Ma Tong couldn't understand at first, but Xiaomi called him a lot, and he knew that the name represented him.

Hearing Xiaomi's call at this moment, even if he was very angry, he ran back quickly.

Gao Ren curled his lips, dropped the branch boredly, and walked over lazily.

Xiaomi patted the head of the first day of junior high school, and when he turned to Gao Ren, he began to seduce, "Gao Ren, you see that the first day of junior high school has come to our house, and he is also a part of our family. In the future, he will take care of several horses in the family, so it is inevitable Those who go up the mountain and down the river, what should we do if we encounter wild beasts? Why don’t you teach him a few self-defense methods when you have nothing to do, and then... well, I will cook you a dish every day, and you can order it as you like. Okay?"
