Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 255 Keeping a piece of pure land

Wu Hao drove home after paying off the money in the town, and stopped the car at the intersection of the mountains looking west at the potato field.

In order to prevent wild beasts when traveling, almost a dozen ridges of potatoes are planted on the west side of the road all the way to the village.

He parked the car not because he saw a wild boar, but because he wanted to pick some fruits that accompanied his childhood memories - Yoyo.

The Northeast is called Yoyo, and its scientific name is Solanum nigrum.

He didn't find a small pot in the car, so he had to buy a new wooden pot from the store, got out of the car and went into the potato field, walked to the edge of a long seedling and started picking.

There are five or six yoyos on a small string, and you just roll them down with your hands. If they are smashed, they are cooked. If they are not tasty, they are thrown away.

Yoyo is green, and when it matures, most of it will be black, and there are also yellow Yoyo, which is the best, and there are not many of them.

Wu Hao picked some black yoyo, walked north and found a few green yoyo seedlings, and grabbed the little thumb-sized fruit.

After putting dozens of pills in his mouth, he said to himself, "It's still yellow and sweet."

Children can eat Yoyo from the potato field near the village. This field is far away from home. For safety reasons, adults do not let them pick it.

Yoyo is more delicious than most fruits, and the children simply can't get enough of it, even for the little greedy cat at home.

In addition to bitterness, the fruit of Yoyo is not to be rejected.

How delicious is it?It can be eaten as a meal, it is no exaggeration to say.

Some children who can't resist eating hard, can't poop out after eating too much, and need to pick it with a stick!
In the future, the number of yoyos will decrease. The reason is that the number of pesticides and fertilizers, the number of magpies and other birds are small, and there is also a certain reason for eating corn seeds mixed with pesticides.

Wu Hao went to two potato fields, and filled a small pot with a diameter of one foot. There were few yellow ones in it, and more black ones. The full pot was like pearls, with some dewdrops on it, and it looked very beautiful.

There are not many Youyou seedlings in this potato field. He has been to the county town north of Spring City once, and there was hailstorm just after staying for a day.

Hailstones follow the same old path as sables, it may hit a piece of thread if it hits a line, it is similar to wild boars who love to eat and have no face, and come every now and then.

The crop fields in Dianbei are hit by hail every two years, not to mention being beaten every year.

The hailstone he encountered was very big, and it was bragging to describe it as a goose egg, but it was not much different from a duck egg.

The heavy rain and hail came suddenly and quickly. The driver of the carriage hid from the rain in the woods, and his head was shaved by the hail.

Just under the cart, the horse was haired by hailstones, the cart ran away, and the branches were discounted and there was nowhere to hide.

One-third of the hailstones were about the size of duck eggs, and the asbestos tiles and glass were shattered, covering dozens of miles west of the county seat.

When the rain stops, it will be sunny. Standing on the high ground, you can see the river all around. The rainwater floods the ridges and flows into the straw mats.

The water in the ditch of the grass mat was rolling eastward, like a flood, and there were toads floating on it.

The sound of the toad could be heard far away, and it was so noisy at night around summer that they couldn't sleep, and the hailstorm stopped.

Kill all the thieves from the hometown in the west of the county!
The corn stalks are discounted, and those who have a good harvest take back a cart of small corn stalks, and others bring home a few baskets of dirt to count as the autumn harvest.

Yoyo is the one that harvests the most in the field. It is so dense that no one can get in. Children eat as food.

Wu Hao did not eat less in that county town, and the Yoyo grown on the land that had been beaten by hailstones was actually more delicious. He returned to the car with a look of regret.

Looking at the wasteland to the east, even if there are many diseases and insect pests in H Province, he doesn't want to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to cultivate the land unless it is absolutely necessary.

He can't control other places. He wants to keep a piece of pure land, keep a childhood memory that will accompany him for a lifetime, and let future generations experience it.

It doesn't matter if the harvest yield in the field is low. In the future, the price of organic vegetables will be higher instead.

After driving home, he entered the house with a basin in his hand and saw his wife watching TV, and Lao Wu was preparing meals, so he went into the kitchen to rinse Yoyo.

It just rained two days ago, and there were a lot of mud spots on it.

After washing, I brought the basin into the house and put it next to my sister, and Xiaodoubao sat on the edge of the Kang, watching TV with a nesting doll in one hand.

Turning his head to see the basin full of Yoyo, he was surprised and said, "Wow! There are so many!"

She felt that her mouth was about to bleed, she swallowed, stretched out her small hands and picked up a Yoyo, and paused for a while before eating.

Put it back, grab a dozen grains and pass it to the right: "Mom, you."

"Hey." Gao Lijuan reached out to take it and saw that she was about to bring a basin after eating, and said, "Don't take it, you can eat it. Mom can often eat it when she goes to the fields."

Adults and teenage children will go to the nearby potato fields, and children under the age of six or seven can only wait at home for them to pick.

Xiaodoubao put down the basin and looked at the elder brother. There were yoyo seeds on the corner of his mouth and a little purple trace. He must have eaten it.

This time she grabbed five or six grains and put them directly into her mouth, muttering: "Sweet." Meide began to shake her little feet.

Children can affect the mood of adults. When Wu Hao saw his sister happy, he was also happy. He stroked her soaring braids like Nezha and asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

Xiaodoubao chewed for a while, rolled its eyes, smacked its lips and said, "Aunt Zhang's sweet stick is very good."

There are no sweet sticks at home, so Erya went to work in the shed with her mother. Two days ago, she was given two knots. She ate sweet sticks from several stores, but Aunt Zhang's was the sweetest.

Usually, the two always "fight", and she can't open her mouth to ask for other people's things, and she doesn't want anyone's things.

I really wanted to eat it and told my brother.

"It's right not to ask others for things." Wu Hao preached, and went out to the warehouse to get the sickle.

He also felt that Aunt Zhang's sweet sticks were delicious, and the sweet sticks were the same as Yoyo, with the plants from [-]'s childhood.

The ears of sorghum are compact, and the ears of sweet stalks are scattered. Except for the ears, there is no difference in the length of the two.

Sweet sticks are no sweeter than sugar cane, but more flavorful to eat.

In the future, less sweet stalks will be planted, and it is still a matter of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and it will not be sweet.

With a sickle under his armpit, he went to his second uncle's house to find Wu Meng, took out money from his pocket, counted out [-] and handed it over.

"Bear bile is sold for [-]. When you and I meet Scarface Tiger and beat the bear, you will get [-] points. The remaining [-] points will be given to my brothers and Feng Pang."

"I'll send it to Fatty Feng first." Wu Meng said and went out with him.

Wu Hao went to the gate and walked west away from him, went to Aunt Zhang's house and opened the tied wooden fence door, entered the courtyard and saw that the door inside the house was locked.

The old men went to the forest farm, and Aunt Zhang was working in the greenhouse to watch the children, and a lot of sweet stalks were planted in the garden.

Children dare not enter the yard to break the sweet sticks secretly, they will be beaten and scolded, if they are not picky, then they are a bunch of "wolves", and the sweet sticks can be dismissed from the garden with a lot of effort.

Your own food will never be as good as someone else's food.

He cut more than a dozen roots at a time and carried them home. When he went to work in the shed, he just told Aunt Zhang, so as not to let people think that the house was burglarized.

Go to the front of the new house and throw the sweetstalk leaves and ears to the animals.

The sweet stalks from the Northeast can be stored for a period of time, and it will be fine if buried in the ground for a month, and it will be sweeter after being frozen.

There are also some who will do it to Yang Zi after a long time, and will be stolen by mice.

The silly roe deer stared at the sweet stalk ear, it ran over to take a bite, chickens, ducks and geese surrounded it, it was used to being arrogant among the animals at home.

Want to eat alone, turn around and bark, chasing chickens, ducks and geese to scare.

Forty or so big geese were almost adults, among which a dozen male geese were suddenly frightened and ran away for more than ten meters.

Turning around and getting angry, he spread his wings and said "it should be", one took the lead, and a dozen big geese swooped down and ran towards the silly roe deer.

Followed by six or seven big roosters, the little golden eagle took a few mouthfuls of sweet ears, turned around and saw these guys rushing over, and ran into the house without the slightest hesitation.

The silly roe deer was startled and yelled "Wow, woof, woof". Seeing that the big goose rooster rushed even more fiercely, the white hair on the back of its butt exploded, and it lowered its head like a "fighter fighter" and rushed into the village.

The big goose and the rooster stopped to eat sweet ears, and the silly roe deer turned around on the road and said "Wow, woof, woof, woof".

Wu Hao didn't care when he saw the big geese chasing them out again. They knew that when they went home, people in the village would not catch other people's geese casually, and would help chase them back when they recognized them.

The silly roe deer needs to be beaten just like Li Erbai, it would be nice to have an animal that can take care of it.

Some animals have human nature, and the big goose belongs to the "inhuman" kind.

My sister is not afraid of them. They have dogs as bodyguards, and the four deer help fight. His house is always lively sometimes.

The chickens fly, the dogs jump, and the deer barks.

He took the sweet stick into the house and put it on the concrete floor, took out money from his pocket, counted out [-], and handed it to Old Wu, saying, "Dad, you can send it to those two families."

"It's bear bile money. Tell them that it's all sold for [-] yuan. Let's let the leather collectors earn some money this time."

There are some words that cannot be guessed by others. Your old Wu’s family sold bear bile for [-] yuan before. Why did you get less points this time?

Whether he thinks so or not, he must speak clearly to avoid misunderstanding.

It's useless to confess my daughter-in-law in my heart!A sensible woman understands that she has done too much practical action, but.

That's not as effective as a fucking sweet talk!

Wu Weiguo took the money: "I'll send it now, I'll make it clear, you guys go eat first."

Wu Hao took out a small bag from his bosom. He kept his money in separate pockets, afraid of losing it all at once, or taking out too much and causing people to miss him.

Give the remaining 1 yuan to my mother for safekeeping.

A word of persuasion: "Even if the vegetables in the greenhouse are really frozen to death, I can earn more than 1 yuan a year by hunting at Lao Maozi's place."

"It's easy to pay back the 5 yuan to the famine. With more than 1 yuan, you can buy whatever you need at home, and you don't need to save money."

Gao Lijuan hugged the small cloth bag and thought for a while before saying, "I don't have anything to buy at home."

In her perception, having a house, a car, eating meat, and being full is a good day, and she doesn't think about the rest, and she doesn't know to think about it.

Of course, it would be nice to have another daughter-in-law.

"I haven't spent any money for a long time~" Xiaodoubao raised her head and patted the small pocket of her jacket and shouted.

Her voice was rough and she made a long one, and she had ten yuan in her pocket, and she didn't spend a penny in the past two months, so she didn't know what to buy.

Wu Hao squatted on the ground baring his teeth and picking at the sweet stick, persuading: "If you don't buy anything, hire two more people to work, let the people in the village earn some money, and you also take a rest."

"Your son can make money, why don't you know how to enjoy life?"

"You can pull it down!" Gao Lijuan waved her hands and said, "Your father and I can't stay here. If we lie down at home, we will get sick."

Xiaodoubao squatted in front of the eldest brother to answer the words: "I can't even lie down, and I can work."

"You have to eat and sleep enough to work." Wu Hao rolled his eyes at his sister and stopped persuading his mother. Their generation includes his generation.

Even if you are not allowed to work, it is not because there are fewer lazy people, but because you have always worked to form a habit.

Looking at my sister, I asked, "Why are you staring at me? Why don't you eat?"

Xiaodoubao put his hands behind his back and gave a "hehe" smile: "Grab sweet sticks and stab your hands."
