Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 44
Su Mu hadn't had lunch yet, so he naturally twitched his index finger when faced with such a tempting grilled fish.

Holding the grilled fish with both hands, I gnawed at the fattest and tender part of the meat. The aroma of the fish permeated from the tip of my tongue to my stomach. The meat was fresh and tender, and the more chewy it became, the more delicious it was. It was even better than the fish I raised with space water. eat!

There are not many fish bones, so it is easy to pick them out.A big fish was wiped out by Su Mu himself in less than ten minutes, and the rest were naturally given to Heihu and Dahui.

"It's really full!" Su Mu, who was a little stuffed, lay directly on the edge of the pool, with a dog lying on his side, but the two guys were patting in the pool to drink water.After a few minutes, more than a dozen hens emerged from the pasture, and they went straight to the pool to drink water and comb their feathers like regular customers.

He was really curious, so he turned over and lay down on the edge of the lake.

Looking directly at it, the water in the lake is very clear, and there is no abnormal color in the hand.This point is completely different from the dark green, fragrant space water.

"Why don't I try it too?" Su Mu saw that the hens went back to the pasture after drinking the water, and Heihu and Dahui didn't see anything unusual after drinking the water.

He sat up and made up his mind, taking a sip of some water with his hand.

"It's delicious, it's much better than mountain spring water!" The lake water was sweet and refreshing, and Su Mu felt that he had never tasted such delicious clear water.

A few days ago, when I went fishing with my grandfather by the Taohua River, I heard from my grandfather that walking west from Huatanao is the old forest that is now protected.

The birthplace of the Taohua River is in the old forest. It flows through Huatanao as the first stop after passing through the people. Therefore, drinking the water in the Taohua River here is pure natural spring water without pollution.At that time, Su Mu took a few sips out of curiosity, and felt that it was really delicious. Since he grew up, he had never drank such delicious water.

So he still thought that if he planned to build a villa in the future, it must be built by the water.

Now that he has tasted the lake water in the space, Su Mu finds that the Taohua River water is nothing compared to it!

"Hey, maybe the lake water has some health-enhancing effects, and it can make me grow a few centimeters taller!" Feeling unsatisfied, he drank a few mouthfuls of sweet lake water, and then led Hei Hu and Da Hui to continue to herd Sweep the eggs in the grass.

Playing with them until mid-afternoon, Su Mu reckoned that the big sheep should have eaten enough, so he took it out of the space.

For the sake of safety, when he entered the space, he deliberately chose an inconspicuous wild bush at the southernmost tip of Guodi Slope.From here to the south is the southern half of Taohua Mountain. The mountain is also unmanaged. Even the sheep herders think it is too far away. I heard that except for the occasional people who come to pick mushrooms in summer, no one is willing to go here. .

"Let's go, Dabai, let's go home!" The big sheep was still chewing the delicious and juicy space pasture, and Su Mu rode on it to circle the bushes and head straight for the small mountain village.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, and he "takes" some pasture from the space from time to time to feed the big sheep.

The big sheep carried him slowly towards the village while eating all the way. When he arrived at the village, the sun was almost setting.

"How is my understanding? Are you obedient?" Before Su Mu led the big sheep home, he heard a few whips behind him, followed by the chaotic sound of running, but it was old Chen who had already driven the sheep back . "I see that you brought back a lot of weeds from land reclamation, can you feed two sheaves to the sheep?"

"No problem, I'll ask Dali to deliver a car to your home later." Su Mu deserved it simply, pulling back so much, it's not short of a car and a half.

What's more, the quality of the space pasture planted by myself is much better than ordinary weeds, so I don't care about that.

"That's a good idea. I heard from the village chief that you want to grow grass in Guodipo? You can eat and sell your own crops and vegetables. What can you do with all those weeds?" Old Chen Tou just met the villager at the entrance of the village. Long, I heard about a rare thing that he lived to such an old age, someone was so full to plant grass?
Su Mu patted the big sheep and let it return to the team, "Uncle Chen, you have to run around looking for grassy places all day long to herd sheep. I will plant all the high-quality professional pastures on Guodipo, and open a pasture in the future. , let the animals graze exclusively on Guodipo, and don’t have to go to other places. You’ll know in the future, and I’ll have to ask you to herd the sheep!”

"Okay! I didn't expect that I could make some good money. We can make a deal. Remember to let me herd the sheep!" Old Chen happily drove the sheep home with his whip.

Su Mu hummed a song, looked with great interest at a few half-children who were competing to climb the big tree in front of their house, and walked into the house.

"Muzi is back! Don't say you'll be back for dinner at noon, aren't you hungry?" My mother came out of the kitchen with a washbasin, and when she saw him coming home, she smiled and said, "It's time to start cooking dinner, you go first Find something to make up for, and eat hand-rolled noodles at night."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Su Mu responded casually, then curiously walked to the corner of the yard and asked, "Grandpa, what are you playing with?"

Grandpa was pressing an inflated inner tube of a bicycle into a basin of clear water. After pressing it a few times, he saw blisters start to bubble on the inner tube.

"I heard that you didn't want to ride a horse today, so you borrowed old Chen's big sheep to ride. I thought, there is a rusty bicycle in the corner of the yard, get it out and repair it, so you can have a means of transportation in the future. "As he spoke, Grandpa had already rinsed the bubbles and then filed them on the inner tube with a file.

Next to it are glue for repairing tires, a worn-out bicycle inner tube, and tools such as scissors and an awl.

"It turns out that tires are patched like this. I haven't seen them before!" Su Mu saw that his grandfather cut a piece of old tire and made gestures on the clean and flat tire, and then he understood.

Cooperate with clear water to find the air leak; file the tire to clean it; then glue the old tire on it, and the bicycle inner tube is repaired.

"No wonder you haven't seen it. We used to live near the county seat. From elementary school to high school, we always walked to school. The broken bicycle at home was thrown away after learning how to ride it. Have you ever seen a tire repair? "Grandpa smiled, put the repaired tires aside, and pointed to the bicycles that had been packed under the courtyard wall for a while, "The frame is very strong, far stronger than those bicycles now."

"I searched around in my yard for a long time and found a few parts, but I don't know if they can still be used." Mr. Zhang walked into the yard with a small box, and when he saw Su Mu came back, he smiled and said, "Old man. What a coincidence, brother, the car is broken like that, he repaired it and put some oil on it, and it can still be ridden!"

Grandpa took over the parts in the box, handed Mr. Zhang a cigarette, and smiled proudly: "I thought back then when I was begging for a living outside, the food harvested in the field was not enough, so I found some broken tools and went to the side of the road to repair the car." At that time, there were a lot of bicycle riders, and they could earn money for meals after a day.

There are also some people who repair tires with bad eyes, deliberately smashing beer bottles on the road.If you accidentally run over it, nine out of ten tires will leak!In recent years, there are fewer and fewer bicycle repair shops, and I have thrown away this craft for many years, and now I just have nothing to do and play around. "

Su Mu stepped forward to look at the bicycle that had been wiped clean by his grandfather. Although the trademark was rusty, the word "forever" could barely be distinguished.

"This is the legendary [-]th kick, right?" He suddenly remembered the name of this kind of big beam bicycle when he was a child.

"Some were called Erba Dagang and some were called Erba Dakiao. The quality of the things at that time was really not good!" Zhang Sanye felt much more relaxed after moving here, and now he speaks with a smile, "I remember just now When this thing was popular, if anyone had a bicycle, they would be envied on the road. It is probably the same as the concept of sports cars seen by young people on the road at this moment."

While talking, Grandpa had already patched and deflated the tires, and put them back on Erba Daqi.Pass the pump to Su Mu, "Pump up the air and try to ride two laps."

"When I first started learning to ride a bicycle, I seemed to use a [-]th bike. At that time, I was short, and I could only ride under the girder, and I couldn't even step on it in circles!" The memory of my childhood was brought back, Su Mu was very interested in pumping up the car.

Although the chain box of this [-]th Kick is gone; the seat springs are also exposed; there is only one single pedal left, but it does not affect his desire to go back in time.

After three times, five times and two times, Su Mu couldn't wait to get on the bicycle, and rode it around the courtyard twice.

"It's fine, there's no noise. Try to see if the brakes work? Let your grandma get some cotton to fill up the car seat at night, and then make a seat cover to tie it on; the pedals probably won't be found before. It’s the original stuff; I have to find a way to get a chain box, so it’s easy to get oil on the trouser legs.”

Grandpa saw that he was riding smoothly. Although the bike was old, it was strong, and there was no such thing as a bell that rang everywhere.

"The pedals are easy to handle. I'll find two pieces of wood in a while. The previous car was reluctant to spend money on new pedals, so I used wooden pieces to add them; as for the chain box, find a thicker packing box and cut it roughly. It’s just enough to fit the shape. The [-]th Kick is the most suitable for traveling on the road in this mountain. It takes less than a month to ride the current foreign-style car, and it will fall apart!” Mr. Zhang also came up with ideas.

The happiest thing is Su Mu, who didn't expect to be able to ride around on the [-]th Kick after so many years.Reflecting the shouts of the children who were competing outside to climb trees and stroke elm money, he felt like time was going backwards in a trance, and it made him relive the most unforgettable childhood. Until then, he really fell in love with Huatanao !

When the lights came on at night, Dad drove a small truck back home with a few strong laborers.

The steaming hand-rolled noodles are filled in a light blue sea bowl; the big pot on the left is fragrant fried sauce stew; the big pot on the right is steaming noodle soup.

Under the orange light, there is steaming heat in the room and the chatter and laughter of everyone sitting around the table, everything is so warm and peaceful.
