Chapter 310: News from the Border Pass
Zhou Liufei got married, and his life was sweet and beautiful, and even the complexion of the Yu mother-in-law was much better. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Every time Granny Yu came to Li's house to chat, she would close her mouth and say, "Ouch, it's my heart disease." I'm waiting to hold my grandson now. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at its color, and could feel that the mood of the fish mother-in-law was flying.
It's like a desperate life has ushered in the dawn, full of hope and vitality again.
After marriage, Zhou Liufei was very diligent, not only cleaning up his own land and Granny Yu's land properly, but also taking advantage of the time to go into the mountains to hunt.
Of course, as the second son of Chu, who is the eldest brother-in-law, naturally wants to follow him and learn the skills of these farmers.
What's more, Chu Xun'er also put down her figure, put on coarse cloth clothes, and followed Granny Yu in and out.
She either went to the field to deliver food to Zhou Liufei and Chu Ergongzi, or helped with some seeds in the field.
In short, the spring sowing has passed so lively.
During this period, Chu Xun'er met Li Xiaonuan twice. But Chu Xun'er was indifferent every time, just politely said hello and left.
But Li Xiaonuan could see from Chu Xun'er's face that she couldn't hide that Chu Xun'er was really indifferent, not for other reasons.
It's probably the change of identity that made her grow.
Now, Li Xiaonuan is the one who stands tall. So Chu Xun'er figured it out, and didn't make a move to entangle.
It seems that this change has not only changed the situation of the court, but also the hearts of the people.
Thinking about what kind of delicate and domineering lord Chu Xun'er was at the beginning, now she is willing to be a hard-working peasant woman.
Spring sowing is over, but the construction of Zhou Village continues.
Li Xiaonuan thought to herself, some people like to listen to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, so they naturally want to plant some banana trees in the village.
Of course, bananas are also to be planted. Bananas are relatively small and can be planted on the edge of eaves.
But the banana tree is different. The plantain is much taller and stronger, so it should be planted far away from the house. lest one day a strong wind blow down the tree and weigh down the house.
Due to the tall and straight plantain tree, the leaves are large and green. The people of the village unanimously decided to plant a row of banana trees on both sides of the road from the entrance of the village to the official road.
As for the plantain tree, you can plant other flowers and plants.
Hibiscus is the most common flower in the region. Therefore, the people of the village planted hibiscus flowers under the banana trees. Among the hibiscus, they planted kapok trees sporadically.
Li Xiaonuan likes kapok the most. Especially when kapok blooms every spring. The fiery red kapok is always a rare sight.
Sandwiched between the entrance of the village and the households in the village, the people in the village also planted fruits such as peaches, plums, pears, oranges, and grapefruits.
Among them, Li Xiaonuan's favorite is the jackfruit tree.
Li Xiaonuan likes jackfruit and loves to eat jackfruit fruits. When the fruit of jackfruit is cooked, the kind of pink sweetness is not lost to chestnuts.
As for the large lake in the village, weeping willows and peach trees are planted.
The peach is a fruit tree variety with very delicious flowers and fruits. Every spring, velvety flowers bloom on the peach book. The children would go up to the tree, pluck the flowers, and eat the pollen and nectar flowers in one gulp.
The peach blossom is sweet and crisp, which is a taste that children like.
Of course, when the peach is ripe, the children will not miss it.
It's just that the peach loves insects, so it's best to break it before eating it to see if there are any worms in the fruit.
In addition to the peach and weeping willow, other fruit trees are planted on the shore of the lake.
Longan, lychee, pomegranate and mango trees are planted in the open space on the shore of the lake.
As for the vicinity of the river temple, land temple and mountain temple in the old Zhou Village, Li Xiaonuan had people plant white fruit trees.
Ginkgo tree is a common name, and it also has a very nice name called ginkgo biloba.
Since the three temples are distributed in the shape of finished characters on the edge of the old Zhou village, those ginkgo trees surround the entire old Zhou village.
After that, it's the periphery of the village. Where the fields meet the mountains and forests. Li Xiaonuan's proposal is to plant all fruit trees.
As long as it is suitable for growing fruit trees in this generation, plant some.
Of course, it is best to be able to separate the varieties and plant them one by one.
As for the barren slopes and hills, because the land is barren, there is no food to grow, and trees cannot grow, so the people of the village have planted wild flowers and grasses with great vitality.
Of course, it is impossible to find such a large number of tree species at one time. Therefore, the construction of Zhoucun is still only a prototype.
However, the villagers' enthusiasm for construction is still very high.
Because, in Li Xiaonuan's planning book, there is also a project for the benefit of the people.
That is, laying pillow roads in various scenic spots. It can be laid with wood, or with stone.
This project will not only allow those tourists to walk on muddy roads, but also allow the people of the village to no longer have to step on muddy water to go out on rainy days.
So, after the spring sowing, the people in the village started to build bridges and pave roads after planting the few fruit trees they had collected.
As for repairing the bridge, Li Xiaonuan did not expect it. After all, the stream from the village to the Yong River is not wide, and the water is not deep, and usually the people in the village like to cross the river directly.
The big guys worked together and worked hard for more than two months before they could be regarded as building the prototype of the road in the village.
Soon, the days will be in May. The two magnolias in the Li family have bloomed one after another.
Li Xiaonuan spends hours every day standing in front of the magnolia tree to enjoy the flowers.
Of course, hanami viewing is what others say. Only Li Xiaonuan herself knows that she is appreciating people.
Li Xiaonuan finally learned that these two trees were sent by Wei Yu in the name of King Jing.
Since October last year, Wei Yu has been in the northwest for nearly half a year. However, during this period, he did not send her any news.
In March, Li Xiaonuan still couldn't help but write to the county lord of Qingning to inquire about Wei Yu's news.
It's just that in the reply letter from the county lord of Qingning, what he said was not very clear.
Generally speaking, Wei Yu was fine at the border pass, but he was tripped up and couldn't come back for a while.
As for what Lao Dao said before, Wei Yu had a catastrophe, Li Xiaonuan wrote to ask three or five times, and the little county lord didn't reveal a word.
Originally, Li Xiaonuan thought that if he was heartbroken, he would never have thoughts about any man.
It's just that as Wei Yu didn't send anyone to her for a long time this time, Li Xiaonuan was worried left and right.
Especially a few days ago, a businessman from the northwest came to the city to persuade the people in the city to prepare for the transfer or something, and Li Xiaonuan was even more worried.
Let's not talk about whether the merchant is alarmist or not, just because the imperial court has dispatched troops so frequently recently, and a lot of new items have been added to the taxes collected in various places, it can be seen that the war situation there is not optimistic.
In particular, outside the city today, many people who have fled from the northwest have gathered.
Li Xiaonuan once personally went to ask an uncle, only to learn that their village was taken by Qi Song's army and burned down by the enemy soldiers overnight. They had to escape this way.
"Girl, when we fled, the enemy soldiers had already taken many states and counties. I heard that there was an official who was seriously wounded by the enemy, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and his fate is unknown. ”
At that time, the old man felt that Li Xiaonuan did not dislike him for being dirty and gave him food, so he told her this. (To be continued.) )
