Chapter 8 Osmanthus Village
Li Xin took a look in the vegetable garden and entered the thatched house, the area of the thatched hut is quite large, according to the area of the previous life, it is estimated that it should be forty or fifty square meters! The walls were made of earthen foundations, and the houses were not covered with tiles, but were all thatched, and very rudimentary. said that it was used to put sundries, but in fact, the Li family did not have any sundries to put them, that is, they were always empty. However, the place is simple, and it is not cleaned much on weekdays, but there are some cobwebs and dust everywhere.
However, two windows were opened, and it looked brighter when I entered the room. After entering the hut, Li Xin carefully closed the door, and then took out the big bag of seeds of various vegetables from the bracelet. She poured all the seeds on the ground and looked at what seeds were suitable for planting. There are really many different types of seeds, but there are also all kinds of vegetables that can be seen in the vegetable market on a daily basis. There are also some very detailed divisions, and each type is subdivided into several items!
In addition to the vegetables for the purpose of eating, there are also some vegetables that can be eaten, and they have a high ornamental value. For example, cherry tomatoes and colorful cherry peppers are not only edible, but also beautiful as potted plants.
The area of the whole vegetable garden is very large, and it should be more than one acre, but in fact, it can grow a lot of things. After looking around, she first took out a small bag of pumpkin seeds, which had a high yield and did not take up an area, allowing it to climb around the fence. Then she also took out some chili peppers and tomato seeds, as if she had never seen tomatoes and chili peppers in her body's memory, and when people in this era ate spicy food, they seemed to put the dogwood they wore during the Chung Yeung Festival. She also guessed that there was a high probability that there would be no chili peppers in this era.
Then plant some! If there is really no such thing as this era, maybe she can make a small profit because of this, even if this era is already there, and she can't make any money, then she can keep it for her own family to eat. When she took the chili tomato seeds, she also took the colorful cherry peppers and the cherry tomatoes in three colors: milky, black-purple and emerald. There are no flowers at home, so let's plant some for ornamentation! You might even be able to sell it as a bonsai!
In addition, she also wants to plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, which are considered high-yield things, and can also fill her stomach, which is very suitable for this family now. Originally, she planned to grow rice, but she didn't know if the bag of rice was seeds, and if it was rice grown by someone else with hybrid rice, it would be planted in vain. But she thought about it for a moment and gave it a try. She put all the seeds she had picked out in the hut, and put the others back in the bracelet.
Now that the seeds are there, all she has to do is get the eight acres back. If you want to get the field back, you still have to rely on the village chief, although the village chief is not an official, but he still has some prestige in the village.
The name of this village is "Osmanthus Village", and the origin of the name is because there is an ancient osmanthus tree in the village, which is known to people within a radius of hundreds of miles. It is impossible to find out when the laurel tree was planted, but according to the elders of the village, it was like this when they were children. The canopy of the old laurel tree covers a great extent, evergreen in all seasons, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and it is as high as more than ten zhang. Bloom around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the small golden flowers are like stars, the fragrance is overflowing in the blooming season, you can smell the fragrance a few miles away, and the people who come to pick the osmanthus are endless.
The village chief of Osmanthus Village is named Li Changming, who is considered a cousin of Li Xin's father, and Li Xin's sisters and brothers should be called uncle. The two largest surnames in Osmanthus Village are Li and Zhang, and the people with these two surnames have lived here for generations, and have been multiplying, and now they have become a village of some size. Of course, in addition to these two surnames, there are also some miscellaneous surnames in the village, which belong to the foreign households that have only moved in recent generations.
The power of the Li family and the Zhang family is deeply rooted in the village, so the village chief of Osmanthus Village has always been from these two surnames.
Early the next morning, Li Xin took Li Wenbo to the village chief's house. The old laurel tree in the village is in the middle of the village, and there are some stone piers under the tree, and the villagers will gather here to chat when they have nothing to do on weekdays. The canopy of the old laurel tree is really large, and standing under the tree has a feeling of sheltering the sky and the sun. Next to the old laurel tree is an avenue, on both sides of the avenue are neat houses of the villagers, all of them are close to each other, and then expand out layer by layer.
The size of the village is not small, there are fifty or sixty families, so at a glance, there are layers of houses on both sides of the avenue. A large river flows through the village, and the neat fields on both sides of the river belong to the villagers of Osmanthus Village.
Li Xin's sister and brother walked all the way, and soon they had a panoramic view of the entire Osmanthus Village. The village chief's house lived in the old house left by his father, and after several brothers got married, they also separated from each other, and the village chief's family cleaned up the old house, which seemed very spacious. The house is a courtyard house, Li Xin has always liked the courtyard house, as long as the door is closed, it is a separate small world inside, and the privacy is very strong. It's a feeling of living behind closed doors.
Such houses are rare in the south, but they are common in the north. The family built a courtyard, the upper room is naturally the old parents live, and then also built the east and west wings, which are assigned to the sons to live, if the sons can also expand the courtyard outside, the family lives in a big house, the courtyard is wide, the children can play in the yard, this feeling is warm and lively. However, there are also disadvantages, many people live under one roof and share a yard, no matter how you say it, there will be some contradictions.
The courtyard of the village chief's house has three upper rooms on the front, three rooms below the front, three side rooms on one side, a utility room and a kitchen on the other side, and a large door on the other side. In this rural place, as long as there are people in the house, the door is not closed, and those who enter the door do not need to knock on the door, just go in.
Entering the courtyard of the village chief's house, Li Xin found that the courtyard was still very large, and there were several osmanthus trees and evergreen trees planted in the yard. The courtyard is also cleaned, and everything is neatly cleaned, but it can be seen that the village chief's family is also very good at living. Early in the morning, Li Changming, the village head, sat in the courtyard with bamboo strips and baskets.
At this time, almost every household has wheat in their fields, but there is nothing to do, except for occasional weeding.
"Wen Hao and Sister Xin are here! Is Sister Xin better? Seeing the two sisters and brothers entering the house, Li Changming beckoned, got up and lifted two stools for the two to sit down.
Li Xin knew that the village chief was asking about her head that was injured by the second dog with a stone. It's been a lot better in the past two days, and she responded with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your concern, it's already much better." (Lots of support!) Welcome to fattening!
