Chapter 142 Announcement

"Hiss~ again!" Maizi put her index finger in her mouth and pouted.

"Girl, pierced again? Come and see grandma. As she spoke, Grandma Mai removed the other needle from her sleeve, and then took Maizi's hand and carefully picked the thorns. Don't move, these grandmas will be done in a while. You go play, girls still have to take care of their hands. Otherwise, if you grow into rough hands in the future, people will dislike it. ”

"Hehe~ Grandma will be over in this moment." Maizi smirked at Grandma Mai, then picked up a bamboo knot and began to tie it, pretending not to hear Grandma Mai's last words. "Grandma, shall we stew a pumpkin pork rib soup tonight?"

"Okay, let's spread some quiches. Your grandfathers have been eating a lot of food lately, and they have to fry some rice balls, which your father loves to eat. Grandma Mai quickened the movements of her hands, now dinner has to be made in advance, otherwise it will not be able to be done in more than an hour, there are too many tricks.

"Whew~ My little garden is finally finished!" Maizi looked at this small garden and was in a super good mood!

"Alright, grandma is going to prepare dinner." Grandma Mai put the rest of the bamboo knots on the edge of the yard. "Go and bring your grandfather a pot of water. This nursery has sprouted, and it is inseparable from people. ”

"Grandma, I'm going to bring water to Grandpa. Sister doesn't have to go! As he spoke, he ran to the kitchen to pick up the kettle.

"Hehe, slow down." Grandma Mai smiled and followed in.

Maizi followed in and drank a large glass of water, then took out the wildflower seeds she had accidentally collected and scattered them directly into the small garden, and then raked and sprinkled some water.

"Wheat, why are you making such an ugly thing in the yard?" Chubby jumped out of the car, walked around Wheat's newly planted hedged garden in disgust, and ran away with Wheat's glare. "Grandma Mai, I want chilled honey water."

"Uncle Niu... Daddy—" Maizi was dumbfounded as soon as she turned around. She didn't expect Daddy Mai to really find so many fruits for her! Although she didn't know what kind of fruit it was, she couldn't help but swallow when she looked at those green fruits.

That day, they went to deliver food to Grandpa Niu, and on another hill, Grandpa Niu and they reclaimed the terraces and cut down all the miscellaneous trees. She found that some of the trees were full of small green fruits, all hairy, a bit like apricots, but much larger than apricots. She picked a few and brought them back for Grandpa Mai to test, they were edible. But it's too astringent!

I just took a bite, and the next day there was still an astringent bitter taste in my mouth.

"This was also found on a hill on the other side of the terraces, but it doesn't have red fruits like you said, it's all green fruits." Uncle Niu directly opened the truck box, and then motioned to Daddy Mai to order the car behind. "But your grandfather Niu said that it would take a while for the fruits to turn red. There are a lot of these trees on the hills around our house, and when they are red, let your grandfather Niu bring you a few. ”

"Thank you Dad! Thank you, Uncle Niu! Maizi nodded happily. In fact, my heart is crazy and crying. What the hell did she miss! I think about it all the time, if there is fruit to eat, it would be great! But the fruit was right under her nose, but she didn't notice it.

"Haha, but these fruits are astringent and can't be eaten." Daddy Mai looked at Maizi and took a green fruit in his hand to look at. "This is brought back by the way, there are a lot of fruits at your grandfather's house, and I will go to play when it is not hot in the future."

"Hmm!" The wheat is a little bit, looking at the green fruit in his hand, I really don't know what to do? It was pitted, like it had been hit by hail. "Hiss~ I didn't expect it to be really bitter..."

"Stupid~ It's astringent. Daddy tasted each one... Let's go back to the room, it's too hot outside. Girls want to be white and clean, this tanning all day long..."Daddy Mai couldn't say anything anymore when he looked at Maizi's resentful little eyes. "Dad doesn't dislike you for being black~ cough cough cough, Dad will take you out to play another day~ Good ~"

"Let's go wash up, we'll be able to eat later." Grandma Mai shouted in the kitchen and relieved Daddy Mai.

"....What a healthy wheat-colored skin, how did it turn black here?" Maizi shook her head and went back to her room with a few fruits. Is this thing immature and bitter? Or is it bitter when ripe? However, if it is bitter when it is ripe, then it is necessary to try grafting, and the bitterness of the fruit will be gone.

However, the weather is too hot to be grafted. Grafting is best done in early spring or autumn. What is easy to graft in summer is not easy to survive.

"Did you see the announcement from the prison?" Grandpa Mai came in from outside, and he had been guarding the nursery lately.

"I just received it, but what does this prison want to do? Such a sudden announcement. Niu Lao slowly brewed tea. Unexpectedly, the tea brewed in this bamboo cup has a fragrance of bamboo, which smells better than that brewed in a wooden cup.

"I don't know." Niu Xiaowu cheekily begged his grandfather for a cup of tea.

"However, the announcement issued by the prison said that it was for the safety of our planet, so we asked everyone to round up aquatic fish, and also specially explained which one paid a large amount and would give certain preferential treatment." Daddy Mai carefully looked at the announcement again.

"And there is also a minimum amount that each family has to pay." Grandpa Mai quickly washed up, then sat down and drank a large glass of cold boiled water to feel better. It's been so long since this fish ball was handed over, and it's been several years before there is a bit of movement. Is there a war somewhere? Or is there a big movement in the Federation? But there's not been any big news about the Federation lately, huh?

Each family should pay a minimum of 2,000 catties a year. This one is set very low... But... Will someone make the fish extinct for that 'preferential treatment'? In a few years, we won't be able to eat fish? Maizi frowned worriedly and looked at the water glass in front of him.

"Hehe, it won't. The water resources on our prison star are relatively abundant, so there will be no shortage of fish. Uncle Niu touched his son Xiaopang who was sitting beside him, and waited for the meal to be opened with relief.

"Come on, eat first." Grandma Mai looked at the time and decided to start the meal first.

"Girl, don't go to the kitchen to serve food, those basins are too heavy and a little hot. I burned my finger last time, Daddy. Daddy Mai grabbed Maizi who wanted to go to the kitchen, this daughter was thin and small, and every time he brought a big pot of rice, he looked terrified.

"Our family will not participate, just pay enough to pay the minimum amount. Farm well with your father! Niu Lao remembered his family's current terraced fields, so many mountains have opened up and there is a lot of land.

"Yes, Grandpa." Niu Xiaowu nodded, and then thought that he could only stay at home for 3 weeks, and there were still so many things at home that he couldn't keep busy, so he stopped thinking when he heard his grandfather say this.

"Well, that's what I thought. This kind of land is still our roots! Grandpa Mai also nodded. (To be continued.) )
