【Chapter 053】 Early morning in the mountain village
The next day, before the magpies in front of the door began to bark, Liu Rui had already gotten up.
Walking out of the house, a burst of osmanthus fragrance mixed with the mist lingered faintly, which couldn't help but make people feel refreshed. Xiao Hei, who was lying in the kennel under the eaves, raised his eyes and found that it was Liu Rui, so he snorted twice and continued to sleep.
Look at Xiao Hei, who doesn't have the consciousness of a family dog at all, Liu Rui really doesn't know what to say? Xiao Hei looks black and doesn't slip away, and many people don't recognize what kind of variety it is?
Some people say it's a wolf dog, but Xiao Hei's lazy surname doesn't look like it; It's said to be a soil dog, but the size doesn't look like it. However, no matter what breed it is, Xiao Hei has begun to integrate into the life of the Liu family, and if this quirky little guy is missing from the family, I am afraid that something is missing.
Walking outside the courtyard, there was a chirping of insects in the air, and fireflies flickered in front of me, like a dream. However, from time to time, a terrible cry from the night owl in the distance broke the silence, and there was a little oozing aura.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar calendar, the autumn equinox, the moon in the sky is like a moon cake that has been eaten away and only the edge is left, hanging crookedly on the edge of the sky. The dim moonlight was faint and invisible, and the stars in the sky emitted a brilliant light, overpowering the moon, and now it belonged to the world of stars.
Looking up, each star is like a pearl inlaid in black jade, desperately radiating its own light before the sun rises.
The village below is still asleep, and occasionally a long rooster crows to break the silence, tempting other roosters to crow as well. The sound of roosters crowing one after another brings a lot of movement to the quiet mountain village, reminding people to get ready.
In the past, when there were few watches in rural areas, people relied more on the rounds of rooster crowing and the light outside the window to judge the time.
Standing on the courtyard dam for a while, after clearing his mind, Liu Rui returned to the courtyard and carried a basket into the vegetable garden.
In the past, when Liu Rui was studying, he had a slight myopia, about 200 degrees, but now he can see everything in the vegetable garden clearly with the help of the hazy starlight in the sky. Even the dew drops rolling on the vegetable leaves are still clearly visible in Liu Rui's eyes.
Shennong Space has brought a lot of benefits to Liu Rui.
I was going to plant small tomatoes this morning, so Liu Rui got up early and picked the vegetables first.
More than 20 days have passed, and all kinds of greens in the newly opened vegetable garden have also entered the harvest period, which has increased the daily supply of the vegetable garden to more than 300 catties. However, even so, the production of vegetable gardens is still in short supply.
Because the head office of 'South Beauty' has also begun to use vegetables from Liu's vegetable garden, it is no longer a tricycle that comes to Liu's house every day to collect vegetables, but a mini-truck with a single row of seats. The success of Liu's vegetable garden has greatly stimulated many villagers, who have cultivated their sandy land by the lake and prepared to grow vegetables and sell them to restaurants in the city.
The restaurants in the city are also quite supportive of this situation, contacting agricultural technicians in the county to go to the village to teach farmers how to grow vegetables. So, in the past few days, the whole village has set off a ** to grow vegetables, and the villagers usually meet and chat about the topic of vegetables.
Seeing this situation, Liu Rui felt good, after all, the villagers put their minds on production and getting rich, rather than thinking about crooked ways.
Perhaps the various notices in the village have taken effect, or the law popularization propaganda has awakened the village police, so far there have been no accidents caused by poaching in the mountains. Of course, in Liu Rui's opinion, the forest checkpoint next to Qingyun Wharf is a little more powerful, and with that, the evil thoughts of the villagers are temporarily suppressed.
However, if the normal way can get rich, the villagers will not rise to the idea of poaching in the mountains in the future, but if this time the business fails again, the villagers who are already poor and crazy will not attack Xiaoqingshan.
After Liu Rui picked most of the vegetables he needed today, the sky began to light up a little. The sky, which had been like black jade, gradually faded and turned into a royal blue sapphire, which looked crystal clear. The stars seemed to be a little tired, and they kept blinking their eyes, threatening to be obscured by the gradually brightening sky at any moment.
There was the sound of firewood crackling and burning in the kitchen, and the sound of pots and pans colliding with each other, it was Zhang Guizhi getting up to make breakfast. Mr. Liu leaned back on a recliner with a small radio next to him and was listening to the Voice of China.
Zhang Guizhi sprinkled a bowl of crushed corn in the yard, which immediately attracted a large group of chickens to rush wildly, and the chirping made the yard much more lively.
It was only at this time that the magpies on the osmanthus tree woke up and croaked in the tree, which contrasted with the roosters below.
A few little magpies didn't care so much, and when they saw food on the ground, they rushed down without saying a word, and fought with the chicks on the ground. Seeing that the children were eating quite freely, the magpie parents were not polite, and flew down and mixed in the flock of chickens to eat.
The wild eggs picked up last time have hatched chicks in the past few days, but the stupid hens still haven't noticed that these chicks are a little different from their own children, and still take them in and out. Compared with domestic chickens, the baby pheasant has more fluff markings on its body, and its surname is more lively, chirping all day long.
Liu Rui sat in the yard and sorted out the harvested vegetables, and when he turned around and threw the dead branches and leaves that had been pruned and cleaned up, those chickens immediately rushed over and grabbed them, and they ate them all in a blink of an eye.
Perhaps it is because of eating these vegetables, grasses, and vegetable insects moistened by the spring water of the space, the local chickens raised at home have become very energetic, not only grow fast, but also rarely get sick. In previous years, when the weather was hot, a few chickens would die in Liu's family from time to time, either because of mosquito bites that caused blindness or for inexplicable reasons.
This year, it was a surprise that instead of one of the chickens in the family died, each litter of newly hatched chickens grew smoothly and did not die. Liu Rui, who was calmly observing from the sidelines, found that the spring water should also play a very important role in the growth and development of animals, and it is also very helpful for his own future plans.
After the orchard in the back mountain is planted with fruit trees, there will always be many places under the trees for local chickens to rest and forage, so raising chickens in the orchard is also a better way to match. In the past few days, Ma Changquan has been mentioning to Liu Rui about raising chickens, saying that he is 'South Beauty' or wants to cooperate with Liu Rui to include local chickens and ducks in the scope of acquisition.
Liu Rui thought about it, but decided to focus on raising chickens, after all, the conditions of the site needed to raise chickens are more suitable for his own home, and it is quite convenient to make it. As for raising ducks, it's a bit troublesome, and Liu Rui is still a little hesitant now.
The pond next to Liu's house is only about five acres, the area is quite limited, if you want to feed the ducks without feed, this water surface and food situation can not support too much quantity, and it is not very cost-effective in terms of benefits. Of course, it's okay to feed some of them at home and digest them yourself.
"Good morning, dad and brother!" The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room.
"Hurry up, you'll have to work after breakfast!" Liu Rui deliberately spoke to Tongtong with a straight face, wanting to scare her.
"Yay!" The little girl made a grimace at Liu Rui, and then ran to the well to wash her face.
After the little girl finished washing, she took out a few vegetable leaves from the kitchen and squatted in the yard to tease a few little rabbits. Although they understand Tongtong's huge lethality, these rabbits really can't stand the temptation of fresh vegetables, and they don't stand firmly and come forward.
Watching these cute little bunnies obediently come over and let themselves be ravaged, Tongtong's face was full of smug smiles.
Seeing that his sister was still childish, he shook his head helplessly, but Liu Rui continued to complete the work at hand.
After a while, the eastern horizon began to whiten, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the stars and waning moon in the sky had gradually disappeared, leaving only some shadows looming in the sky. White clouds began to float above the turquoise sky, constantly changing shapes in the sky, as if they were telling their own story.
However, as the red light on the horizon was about to erupt, the white clouds in the sky began to render a trace of red light, and it seemed that the layering of colors had become much stronger. Perhaps, when the sun rises, these clouds will now turn into brilliant morning glow, the most beautiful scenery in the morning.
Standing on the courtyard dam, Liu Rui found that the pastures, lavenders, etc. planted some time ago had sprouted, and as soon as the breeze blew, the crystal dew rolled down from the emerald green leaves. Of course, it is not unusual to see that the open space around the yard dam and the vegetable garden is a common green in the countryside. Only when those flowers begin to bloom will the sea of flowers carefully created by Liu Rui gradually take shape.
At that time, looking up from the bottom of the mountain, a large area of purple lavender will become the signature of the Liu family's compound, and it will even be more attractive than the two tall osmanthus trees.
It is only with the support of Shennong Space that Liu Rui will have the confidence to put his thoughts into practice, otherwise he will be asking for hardships and making people laugh.
It is precisely after the Shennong space that Liu Rui's mind has undergone subtle changes, and he feels that it is not an unacceptable thing in the countryside. The performance of the space spring water in the vegetable garden and longan garden gave Liu Rui more confidence, even if he did not go to college, he could still live a very nourishing life and realize the value of his own existence!
Especially after learning about the development model of farmhouses, Liu Rui felt that this was a road worth exploring. Perhaps, you can walk out of a life trajectory that is different from others, but just as wonderful!
