Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 53 The Secret in the Tree Pit
"Brother Muzi, what's in there? How can it be so fragrant?" Kid Wang licked his lips and stared intently at the dirty black soil ball in his hand.

"This is the beggar's chicken!" Su Mu broke off the dried and cracked clods of soil, revealing the whole chicken exuding a tempting aroma.

After washing his hands, he gave the beggar chicken that smelled like meat to Kid Wang for a sniff. Su Mu took it back on purpose and asked, "Do you think you can eat it?"

"You can eat it, you can eat it! The food made by Brother Muzi must be delicious!" Kid Wang was so greedy that he swallowed two big mouthfuls of white rice with the smell of chicken.

"If you say you can eat it, then share it with you." Seeing the eyes of a group of children straightened, he didn't continue to tease.

Da Kui was holding a plate and munching on the rice with stewed meat and radish in soup, when he smelled the aroma, he hurried over.Su Mu has already knocked open several soil balls and distributed one to each of their teams, "Three people share a chicken, it is definitely enough for you to eat, don't fight over it. Also, be careful when eating grilled fish. , don't tie yourself."

As the saying goes, half-children eat poor old men, and these teenage children are at the time when they grow up and can eat. The three of them share a chicken, half a fish, and so much broth to soak in rice, which is enough to eat; Su Mu then tore the remaining beggar chicken in half, gave more than half to Da Kui, and ate the remaining half for himself.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal.

Da Kui also lay down on the beach to rest comfortably, rubbing his stuffed stomach.

Huatanao still follows the previous living customs, basically planting wheat, corn, and millet, and usually eating pasta as the main food.Occasionally eat some rice, and it is also exchanged for wheat at small shops during festivals.

Rice is precious in the valleys, and most of them eat rice during the Chinese New Year, and drink rice soup for the rest of the time.

Now that the sumac is in charge of the rice, the delicious rice is opened up to eat!There are also grilled fish, roast chicken, and stewed radish with rice, which is even richer than the New Year's Eve dinner!

"Have you eaten enough? How about I teach you a new song while you are resting?" Seeing that the children were full and wanted to fight, Su Mu simply suggested teaching them to sing.

"Okay, okay! What song does Brother Muzi sing?" As soon as they heard that there was something new to learn, the boy scouts all sat neatly on the beach, waiting for him to speak.

Su Mu thought about the songs he learned suitable for children when he was in elementary school. After a while, he looked at the sparkling river next to him and began to sing: "Let's row our oars, and the boat pushes away the waves." .The sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls..."

The noisy children also gradually calmed down, listening to the brisk melody they had never heard before from Sumu's mouth; seeing the green trees surrounded by green hills, and occasionally a few leaves floating on the river, attracting the river The little fish at the bottom sneaked up for a kiss.

The sound of singing surrounds the beautiful scenery, and it is so exciting!
They haven't been to school much, and they don't know what kind of feelings they have in their hearts.But almost at the same time, all the children wished that time could stop at this moment!Even Da Kui vaguely felt that this song is so beautiful, how can it be so good?

"Next, I will teach slowly. I will sing a line, and you will sing along." Su Mu knew that the children were attracted not because of how well they sang, but because they had never heard it before.

Everyone has a thirst for knowledge. Since childhood, they can only listen to their parents humming a few tunes that have not changed since ancient times. Children have long been eager for new knowledge.

From this point of view, the establishment of the school has to be done as soon as possible!Take advantage of the children's strong interests and seize the time to promote the development of knowledge.

"Let's swing the oars, and the boat pushes away the waves..." I have to say, the memories of these boy scouts are really good.

Su Mu led them to sing several times, and the children actually learned it all.Only Da Kui is still at the stage of memorizing the lyrics, and he always gets a few lines of the lyrics confused.

He also learned to sing the song, and his food was almost gone. Dakui ordered the tireless children to sing the song they had just learned loudly, and began to compete in digging tree pits with a shovel.

It was Su Mu's idea to lead the children up the mountain to dig tree pits.

I still remember that before I went to high school, the school organized tree planting every year on Arbor Day.At that time, there were forty or fifty students in their class, and each of them walked to the river embankment with a shovel taller than themselves, digging holes, carrying water, and planting trees. The children in a class said little Hundreds of small trees can also be planted.

I remember that one year the head teacher launched a tree planting competition, and the three boys in Su Mu's group planted more than 50 trees!The head teacher also specially awarded them a self-made certificate.

Speaking of which, Su Muchang really won such a "certificate" at such a young age, so he was very impressed.

It is precisely because of this incident that the three of them had the nickname "little tree planting expert" until graduation.

The boy scouts were used to tossing up and down the mountain all day, so it was easy for them to just dig holes.After Dakui led them to work again, Su Mu washed the pots and pans by the river and put them on the spot.Anyway, there is only a small mountain village like Huatanao in the ravine with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is not afraid of losing everything here.

There is a special person to do the physical work, of course Su Mu can't be idle, he has to deal with the aftermath of the tree pit!
Yesterday, Grandpa and a group of people had already dug a tree hole on the easternmost small dirt hill. Now Da Kui and the children are on the second hill, so he doesn't have to worry about being disturbed.

Finding a remote corner, Su Mu took out the bag prepared in the space, which contained the space soil he dried in the space.

After the farm has a reservoir, it will be irrigated with space water to ensure that the fruits, vegetables and food crops are high-quality agricultural products; the pasture also has space for pasture grass, and there is no need to worry about the quality of poultry, beef and mutton raised in the future; For fruit trees to develop orchards, of course, there must be space soil to rest assured.

Deliberately drying the space soil, Su Mu was worried that he could not tell the difference between ordinary soil and space soil.

Now dig out a handful of soil from the bottom of each tree pit one by one, pinch the weight and put it in a little space below, and then cover it with ordinary soil.You don't have to worry about being blown away by the wind, and you won't be noticed.When the saplings are transported back, they can be planted directly in the tree pit and all will be alive!
"Dig a hole, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five..." Su Mu, who specialized in doing tricks in the tree pit, somehow remembered the famous quotes from the sketch, and muttered in a low voice to enjoy himself, carrying a small bag Fiddle a few times inside each tree hole.

By the time the sun set on the western mountain, Dakui led the boy scouts and had already dug tree pits on the second mountain.

Su Mu also finished dealing with the tree pits on the first hill.

"Brother Muzi, let's come back tomorrow! Try to dig a few hilltops into the tree pits!" Su Mu was carrying pots and pans towards home, but was stopped by a group of boy scouts on the way.

A few little guys helped to take over all the kitchen utensils for cooking, and each of them strongly urged to continue working tomorrow.

"Not tomorrow, you have to rest for a day. If you want to work, you can wait until the day after tomorrow." Can Su Mu not know their little thoughts?
This is not an addiction to work, it is clearly a glutton for eating delicious food!

As long as you work with Su Mu, you will definitely have meat to eat. Now almost all the old and young people in Huatanao have recognized this truth, so the scouts are eager to help every day.

"No, no, no! If we don't let us stop working tomorrow, we won't let you go!" A few older children held hands and blocked Su Mu's way; Say something nice.

Originally, I wanted these children to rest for a day so as not to be exhausted, but they were all addicted to eating and refused to rest.

"In that case, I'll arrange the job of planting trees for you tomorrow." Seeing that they couldn't resist them, Su Mu could only settle for the next best thing and assign them some light work.

Planting trees is much easier than digging tree pits. Dakui took a few strong boys to carry water up the mountain, and the boy scouts only planted trees and filled the pits, so they should not be tired.

"Brother Muzi is really the best! Then... what shall we eat tomorrow?" Kid Wang jumped up and down happily.

Su Mu pretended to frown and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Then let's blow the elbow!"

"Eat the elbow! Long live Brother Muzi!" The boy scouts immediately blew up the battalion, shouting and jumping, and some even wanted to lift Su Mu up!

"Everyone calm down! Everyone is holding a shovel, and no one is allowed to make trouble!" Seeing this, he quickly waved his hand to signal the children to calm down, and then suggested: "Can you still sing the songs you learned today? Let's review it again Ah, I begin: Let us row our oars... Get ready, sing!"

The children, who were successfully distracted by the singing, sang along with the brisk melody, and the children's chorus was mixed with Da Kui's slightly incomplete humming from time to time.

The cheerful singing soared into the sky, and the adults who drove back from afar all looked curiously in the direction of the back mountain.

The fresh and simple melody aroused the itch of the girls and boys. The owner of the car flicked his whip and took the lead in singing their most familiar songs.

Far and near, the songs of the old and the young echo each other.When night falls, the entire Huatanao is immersed in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.

This atmosphere continued until the next morning.

Almost all the children couldn't wait to finish their breakfast, so they ran to Su Mu's house with a shovel to gather.

He called the nursery, and the other party set off early in the morning, but because the road conditions were unfamiliar, it was estimated that they would not arrive until near noon.

Su Mu simply arranged for Da Kui to lead the manpower and children specially dispatched to carry water to dig a tree pit on the third mountain.

Just like yesterday, he first set up a big pot by the river with a few big elbows on it; because he added a lot of strong young men to eat, so today he didn't bother to scoop up rice, but prepared to ask his mother to deliver steamed buns at noon ; The big fish fished out from the space were washed and put into the pot together with various condiments, and the fish soup was simmered on a low heat.

Then he left the two cauldrons and ran to the second hill to put dry soil into the tree pit.

Everyone worked in full swing until noon, Su Mu had already cleaned up all the tree pits on the second hill; a lot of tree pits had been dug on the third hill; A car of saplings parked at the foot of the mountain.
