It's unusual for a farmer to have a girl

Chapter 40
Li Benshan came to settle accounts aggressively, but fled in despair.

Xiao Mian and Xiao Dao looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

Xiaodao comforted herself: Dad is just a little stupid, it's because grandma is too powerful.

Xiao Mian: My second uncle is a farmer, so there is nothing wrong with being led by the nose.

It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework!
"Who let you two in?"

Just when the two of them were trying to find a reason for Li Benshan, a stern sound came from above their heads.

Xiaodao was so frightened that she dragged Xiaomian to run away.

Xiao Mian patted her younger sister's hand, raised her head, deliberately ignored Zhao Shi who was standing by the window, and waved at Old Man Li inside.

"Master, we just miss you, let's come to see you, do we need to post a post when we enter our house?"

Xiaodao answered with courage: "I miss you too."

Old man Li took a look at Xiao Mian, knowing that the child was making sarcastic remarks on purpose.

Ignore her if you want to, but her big eyes blink and blink like they can talk.

At any rate, this time he didn't call him "grandfather" in a strange way, and Old Man Li felt that it was really commendable.

You must know that behind her "pro-grandfather" is "step-grandmother".It made him panic.

Old man Li forced a smile on his face, "Xiao Mian is here? Who did you learn how to hand out posts? Our farmers don't like this."

Li Xiaomian smiled even more happily, and looked at Zhao Shi provocatively.

She didn't believe Mrs. Zhao's words.

Ask dad and grandma to bless my sister-in-law?
She prayed to God and prayed to Buddha and said it was the past.

Look at her eyes that have been poisoned, she has no warmth towards their juniors, how can she still look up to her grandma and father?
Even Xiaodao couldn't be fooled by the rhetoric.

It was because the second uncle had always regarded the sister-in-law and the third uncle as his own sisters and younger brothers in his heart, so he was deceived by her family affection.

Zhao's face was dark, and he stared at the two men viciously.

"The family is separated, don't come here if you have nothing to do in the future."

Xiao Mian waved again and said loudly: "Master, stepmother doesn't want to see us, shall we go?"

Xiaodao said in a soft voice, "I don't want to see you, let's go."

Old man Li: ...

well!Why can't we get along well?
Zhao Shi pointed at the door for these two sly girls, "Get out."

Xiao Mian paused, took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket, and turned her head to Zhao Shi.

"Xiao Dao, have you got the fire pocket?"

Xiao Dao shook her head, took a look at the talisman paper, and rushed into the kitchen, "Second Sister, I'll get it."

Zhao asked with a dark face, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Dao quickly ran back, holding the torch in his hand, his eyes shining.

Xiao Mian took the fire booklet and said with a smile, "Guess the stepmother, what kind of talisman is this?"

Zhao's face changed drastically, pointing at Lian Zhi, "Go and stop her."

Lian Zhi hurried over.

It's a pity it's too late.

The talisman paper turned into a puff of blue smoke and drifted away.

Zhao was so angry that she took a broom and chased him out.

The two sisters ran out laughing and joking, and Zhao's vicious curses came from behind them.

On the way, Xiaodao asked curiously, "Second sister, what kind of talisman is that?"

Xiao Mian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just scribbled to scare them."

It was a soul-calling talisman poured out of Lie Yan's finger-pushing universe bell.

It was the homework that Xiao Mian handed in when she first entered Shanzong.

In order to scare Mrs. Zhao, she used it.

In fact, when using this kind of talisman, you have to cooperate with the mantra. She didn't recite the mantra, so it didn't work.

"Hehehe, second sister is really amazing." Xiaodao jumped up and down happily.

In the old house, Mrs. Zhao ordered Lian Zhi to sweep out the dust from the burnt talisman paper.

She was holding a bowl of clear water, and while sprinkling water, she muttered around the yard.

She is afraid of the talisman, and is using the method passed down from her ancestors to drive away evil spirits.

As everyone knows, when the talisman paper burned, a wisp of green smoke drifted towards Li Xiangyuan's room.

At the same time, Li Xiangyuan's eyelids moved, and when she opened her eyes three days later, her eyes were clear.

Xiao Mian didn't know that he burned a useless talisman, but by chance, it attracted...

When the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the mountain flowers are blooming, the Li family is also very busy.

In fact, the whole village is very busy.

The fields need to be fertilized and watered, and they have to find time to go to the mountains to pick mountain products.

There are rivers flowing to the west and east of Qingshan Village.

To the west is the Huang'en Canal built by the government, which is specially used by farmers to irrigate the farms.

To the east is the mountain spring flowing down from Daqing Mountain.

Therefore, Qingshan Village is considered a relatively wealthy village, and droughts rarely occur.

In order to irrigate the farmer, the peasants also use all kinds of organs to show their talents.

There are bamboo tubes for water diversion, and ground water dragon ditch for water diversion.

But this is only limited to low-lying places.

For example, the fields of the Lizheng family and the Li family's old house just need to dig a water dragon ditch on the ground, which is very convenient for watering.

There is no access to water on high ground.

Just like Xiao Mian's newly purchased seven acres of land, they have to water the land every day.

Li Benshan has to carry water every morning, even if the dealer does not lack water, he pours it slowly.

If we don't wait for the drought, we won't be able to water it at all.

Xiao Mian frowned and looked at it for a while, feeling that she had to think of a way.

If it is not just watering, it will take up a lot of labor.

Xiao Mian hid in the space to write and draw when she had time.

Lie Yan brought in a cart of fruit saplings.

The two did their own thing.

Say hello if you have something to do, and ignore anyone if you have nothing to do.That's how they've always been.

After planting the fruit trees, Lie Yan walked over, handed Xiao Mian a big bun, and asked, "What are you painting?"

Xiao Mian was busy with both hands, so she simply took a bite of the bun with Lie Yan's hand.

"Draw a waterwheel. I use it for watering the ground at home." Xiao Mian said vaguely while eating steamed stuffed buns.

Lie Yan looked at it for a while, but he was not interested, so he went to work on the spirit herbs again.

Lie Yan is more concerned about the reproduction of spirit grass than Xiao Mian.

After two days of busy work, the waterwheel pattern was finally completed.

With the blueprints, and with the help of Xiao Mian, Li Benshan worked on them for another three or four days, and a waterwheel was basically formed.

When the water wheel was installed by the stream, and the water flowed through the drum and rushed to the high ground water dragon ditch, the whole village was alarmed.

In the evening, Li Zheng led his eldest son Jin Li into the gate of the Li family in Dongtou.

"What about Ben Shan, uncle has something to discuss with you."

Li was smiling all over his face, and Jin Li carried two boxes of snacks in his hand.

Li Benshan was overwhelmed by the flattery, and dared not take it while pushing the dim sum.

"What are you talking about, uncle? You treat your nephew as an outsider when you take things."

Jin Li smiled and said: "My father licked the lips of a few children, we two should not see each other."

Li Zheng also said: "The children in my family did not eat less of your candy snowballs. When did you see me push it away?"

Song Shi and Li Shi got up and went to the kitchen to prepare tea.

Jin Li hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, younger siblings, don't be too busy, you are not outsiders."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zheng explained his reason for coming.

"Your waterwheel, I saw it, it's really good."

"I was thinking, let's make a few more in our village, so that the wheat harvest in our village will definitely be bumper."

Li Benshan smiled and said, "What am I supposed to do? I also asked my uncle to make a special trip. You just send a boy to tell me."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "It's not just our village, I guess people from eight villages from ten miles away know about it, so they have to come and let you do it."

"what?"

Li Benshan was dumbfounded, his own village was alright, he didn't see people looking up, no matter how busy he was, he had to find time to do it.

But for those in other villages, they have to live in the Year of the Monkey?

How much work is there in the field?
