Rebirth Space Farming

Chapter 4 Miao Boys
When Xiaoxian woke up, a ray of bright autumn sunshine came in through the crack of the door a few centimeters wide, illuminating half of the room.

Smelling the smell of dry cotton from the quilt under her body, Xiao Xian knew that what happened last night was not a dream, and she could not go back.If she was still at the Yunteng Gate, she would have been called up to chop firewood by this time.

She rolled over, and there was a new suit of clothes by the pillow.The suit of clothes last night was burned in several places by the fire of the straw stacks. Zhu Shijun carefully noticed that this new suit must have been prepared by him early in the morning. Xiaoxian refused to wear the clothes of children in the mountains. Young, but very face-saving.

When Zhu Shijun was sent down, the incident happened very suddenly. In a hurry, he only brought two boxes of things and his little granddaughter.One box contained the books that he never left for decades, and the other box was for Xiao Xian, brought from Beijing. buy clothes.

"It's such a beautiful dress, even more beautiful than the peach blossoms brought out by the elder sister from the space," Xiao Xian held the pink T-shirt and indigo jeans and gestured on her body.

When she was in Yuntengmen, she was dressed in rough cloth clothes common to Taoism. How could the ancient weaving and tie-dyeing techniques compare to the high-end children's clothes bought in department stores.

"It just looks a little weird." The clothes looked brand new. It seemed that the clothes and pants of those people last night were not torn, but people from this world, wearing such clothes.

After barely getting dressed, Xiaoxian took a few steps. She didn't notice that her feet had grown to the left and right, but by the inertia of the owner of her body, she struggled across the threshold of the bungalow, limping through the door.

Xiao Xian tentatively opened up to the dining room, and the four connected bungalows were empty, leaving only the sunlight in one room.

The vague memory of a child that remained in her body told her that "cheap grandpa" would go for a walk in the mountains every morning.The length of time to go is related to the mood of the old man that day. If it is long, it will take one morning, and if it is short, it will take two hours.

On the dining table, there was a bowl of boiled corn and an egg. "Except for the clothes, the food is similar to Yuntengmen." When Xiaoxian was at Yuntengmen, Xiuxian asked that he should eat less worldly fireworks, and the other brothers and sisters all only ate mountain spiritual energy. "The ground grows tall, Dao Xing, but she doesn't grow in both, the master has no choice but to give him an extra favor, allowing her to eat an egg every day, and eat it for ten years.The egg, which I thought had a fishy smell before, was now warm in my hand, and the warmth penetrated into my heart.

Autumn is the corn season. The newly picked white glutinous corn tastes like powder in your mouth. It may be because you haven’t eaten the staple food for a long time. Xiaoxian has a big appetite and eats all the corn that is thicker than her arm. After entering her stomach, she didn't want to eat the egg, so she put it back in the bowl.

After breakfast, Xiao Xian reckoned that it was time to wash the dishes, so he dragged his legs to the place where Zhu Shijun warmed up his meal last night.

The newly built stove, several bundles of dried firewood piled up in the corner of the kitchen, stone-blue square bricks, and snow-white wall paint.Looking at the fairly familiar decorations, Xiaoxian's fear of this strange world became less and less day by day.

She looked around in the kitchen, found a tablecloth, wiped the table briefly, wiped off the corn dregs from the previous meal, and dragged her legs towards the door.

When she entered the door last night, she noticed a well at the door.But this well is different from the one Xiao Xian used before. There is no wooden barrel to carry the water, but there is a dark and strange guy standing at the mouth of the well.

"Xiao Xian, have you eaten yet?" The person speaking was a woman with a loud voice sitting at the door, with a round face tanned by the sun and wearing a short gown and shorts.There was a large sea bowl at her feet, with corn kernels in her hand, and she was startled when she saw Xiaoxian limping, poking her head beside the hand-pressing well.

The woman hurriedly threw away the half-cut corn she was peeling, and took a wooden manhole cover to cover the mouth of the well.

"Little ancestor, are you thirsty? You have a delicate stomach from the city, how can you drink such unboiled water. Besides, you said last time that you should drink boiled water instead of those in the countryside. Does the well water have an earthy smell?" The woman with a loud voice is called Sister Lian, Zhu Shijun asked the village chief to come over to help with cooking and washing clothes, and by the way watched Xiaoxian when he was away.

After hearing what the woman said, Xiao Xian also knew that she didn't let him drink water, because he was afraid that the well was not clean.

Sister Lian is the village head's cousin. She went to Guangdong to work a few years ago, and then she saved some money and went back to the mountains, where she built a tile-roofed house and never went out again.

She is also warm-hearted and good-natured. When Xiao Xian first came here, she was often annoyed.

When Aunt Lian saw Xiao Xian, the tip of her nose was covered with greasy sweat. She also knew that she might be thirsty, and blamed herself for preparing some dry food in the morning. Now she went to boil water in the back room. Hot water could not quench her thirst. After thinking about it, I walked around to the back of the four bungalows, and when I came back, my coat had been lifted up and turned into a simple bib, with a few yellow pears in it, small in size but moist Yes, just looking at it is enough to quench your thirst, Xiao Xian couldn't stop licking his tongue.

"The pear pits that the village chief spit out casually the year before last have died in just two years. Before the autumn wind has risen, let's find a ladder and pick all the pears. It's dry in autumn, and it's just for your grandson and grandson. Get angry." Aunt Lian picked a pear, wiped it with her sleeve, and gave it to Xiao Xian.

After the yellow-skinned crispy pears were sent out, Sister Lian remembered that Xiao Xian disliked her the most for doing business, so she should wash them with water.

With a "click", the sweet honey pear juice rushed into Xiao Xian's cheeks, she squinted her eyes, and bit off half of the pear in one bite, "It's delicious, Sister Lian, you can eat it too."

After seeing Xiaoxian finished eating, Sister Lian folded and went to the back of the house to look at the pear trees whose branches were bent by the pears, thinking, this child seems to have adapted to life in the mountains.It's just that the old bureau chief has not yet adapted to the environment in the mountains, and has a sad face all day long.She thought, sighed, sat back on the stool, and continued to pick up the corn.

Xiaoxian looked around the pear tree for a while, thinking that the pears are not bad to eat, but unfortunately they are small in size and have big pits. It seems that the water and soil here are not suitable for growing pears. Back then, the pears grown in Yuntengmen were not good. They are the size of an adult's fist, big and small, sweet as honey.

"The cripple is going to cry. The caterpillar fell into Zhu Xiaoxian's clothes." Just as she was watching, someone picked up Xiaoxian's neck suddenly, and a few burrs got into her collar. There are a few more children.The one carrying her clothes was a seven or eight-year-old Miao boy wearing a silver cleat, a double-breasted jacket, and wide blue trousers.
