Chapter 0029: Mother's 'Secret'
Everyone drank and ate and had a good time, and it was not until late that the bonfire dinner was over.
Old John, who hadn't been so indulged in a long time, was drunk, and Jim Thompson was also full of nonsense with a big tongue.
Even Ann Lina Kyle, Ellary, and Perlington, who drank red wine, were four or five points drunk.
Xu Xiaoyu drank no less wine than anyone else, but he found that he didn't feel the slightest drunkenness, which surprised others at the same time, he was also surprised, but he knew that it should still be thanks to the blessing of "Mind Cultivation Technique".
Originally, the warm and kind An Lina wanted Jim and the five to stay here, and she used her free time in the afternoon to make use of the room, which had already been laid out. It's just that she herself was drunk and dazed, and she had to take care of the drunken old John, and she handed over the matter of greeting Jim to Xu Xiaoyu.
Jim, they stay overnight or not, Xu Xiaoyu doesn't care, but when she saw Kyle Eryuan after drinking, the hot gaze when she looked at herself, Xu Xiaoyu, as a man with normal functions, didn't react that it was fake, but he was a mature and calm person, so reason overcame desire!
Xu Xiaoyu drove Jim's red Wrangler, pretending not to see Kyle Yuan's anger and resentment, and sent all five of them back, and then left the Wrangler behind, and rented a car to return to Jinshan Ranch.
The night was already deep.
A bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Looking up at the night sky in the east and looking up at the boundless depth, Xu Xiaoyu, as a wanderer, remembered the ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts".
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground;"
"Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown."
Muttering softly, Xu Xiaoyu was like every night, and his thoughts were springing up.
Quietly in a daze, after a long time, he sat on the threshold of the cabin, and was freed from the torment of longing.
"Wait for the breakfast hall to open, and wait for the vegetables in these two acres of vegetable fields to grow to a certain extent, and then return to China immediately."
"By the way, the vegetable field has to be watered with space water, which is very important, and it is related to the trip back to China."
Xu Xiaoyu stood up, looked at the millet who was sleeping sweetly in the nest, thinking of the bad things it did today, I wanted to teach it a good lesson, but I thought about it.
Take the chaimen and walk to the vegetable patch.
Under the bright moonlight, the visibility on the ground is not low, Xu Xiaoyu saw that outside the barbed wire, several figures, large and small, were anxiously looking or wandering there, there were hares, marmots, mice, and squirrels, and even Xu Xiaoyu saw two deer.
Looking at this herbivore who was so anxious, Xu Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, his eyes lit up: "Forget about mice and squirrels, these marmots, hares, and especially deer, are first-class game!" You have to get a few to eat, otherwise I'm too sorry for those heroic sacrifices, right? ”
Xu Xiaoyu had a Remington shotgun, which was specially given to him by Old John for self-defense because he was worried that he would live alone in a cabin and encounter danger at night.
However, hunting with a shotgun is obviously an extremely stupid act, and this shot has not directly beaten the prey into a mess?
And the gunfire is so loud that it will alarm the entire ranch, wake up old John and Ann Lina in their sleep, and even cause panic among the cattle and sheep locked in the pen!
Xu Xiaoyu thought about the beautiful game, and couldn't help licking his lips.
The gun can't be used, and there is no bow and crossbow, but this is difficult for Xu Xiaoyu, you must know that when he lived in his grandmother's house when he was young, he shot a wild boar with a bow and arrow. In other words, my grandmother's village is remote and surrounded by mountains, although the local government has banned hunting, there are still many people who will go to the mountains to hunt openly!
Xu Xiaoyu has learned a lot of hunting experience, of course, the key is that these experiences are much easier to use than building a wooden house, and it is impossible to have the embarrassing situation when building a wooden house!
Xu Xiaoyu returned to the wooden house, sharpened two wooden sticks, cut two ropes, took a hammer, and a shovel, and came to the grass next to the vegetable field.
As soon as he passed, those herbivores, large and small, naturally scattered as birds and beasts, and they all burrowed into the grass and fled without a trace in an instant.
Xu Xiaoyu didn't bother to care about them, so he hammered a wooden stick into the soil with a hammer, and then tied the rope to it firmly. Then make a clever looper at the other end of the rope and cleverly hide it in the grass. zuihou, Xu Xiaoyu entered the space, picked a cabbage, squeezed some juice, and sprinkled it in the looper.
At a certain distance, I made another rope sleeve as I did.
In order to ensure that there will be game to eat tomorrow, Xu Xiaoyu also dug two small pits, arranged them, disguised them, and sprinkled the juice of cabbage in the same way.
After everything was done, Xu Xiaoyu came to the vegetable field and began to water the space water.
After watering, enter the space and sow various vegetable seeds on the vacated land, including chili, garlic, green onions, and ginger, which are the most important accompaniments in Chinese cuisine.
Everything was busy, Xu Xiaoyu went out of the space, and when he returned to the cabin, his mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was his mother calling.
It's so late, what will happen when my mother calls?
With such doubts, Xu Xiaoyu answered the phone.
"Xiaoyu, have you had dinner?"
Mother Cai Lanfen's kind and concerned voice sounded.
"Dinner?" Xu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mom, you are really joking, it's all this time, and you still have dinner?" It's pretty much the same for a late-night snack. ”
"It's all this time? Is it about the same for a late-night snack? This time it was Cai Lanfen's turn to be stunned.
"Hehe......" Xu Xiaoyu understood, and immediately laughed, daring to love the old mother forgot about the jet lag, at the moment it was early in the morning on her side, and it was just the time for dinner in China, no wonder the old mother would ask herself if she had dinner.
Cai Lanfen also remembered the jet lag at this time, sighed in her heart, and secretly smiled bitterly: I am thinking about it!
She also smiled dumbly and said, "Xiaoyu's mother didn't disturb your sleep." ”
"No, Mom, I'm getting ready to wash." Xu Xiaoyu asked, "Everything at home is fine." ”
"It's all very good, fishing and walking dogs every day, where is there a more leisurely and comfortable life than this." Cai Lanfen smiled, suddenly lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "Xiaoyu's mother told you a secret. ”
"What's the secret?" Xu Xiaoyu was interested, he could hear it from the old mother's voice, the old mother's mood is indeed much better now than the last time, which made Xu Xiaoyu feel a lot more relieved.
"Mom used someone else's ID card to open a bank number a few years ago and saved a lot of money." Cai Lanfen said with a little smugness: "So, you don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses over there, the money saved by my mother is more than enough to complete your studies." ”
After listening to the old mother, Xu Xiaoyu's heart was warm, and a mist rose in his eyes, he knew that 99% of the so-called secret of the old mother was made up, otherwise when she called back last time, wouldn't she tell herself?
Her purpose in making up this secret is nothing more than to make herself feel at ease here, let go of her psychological burden, and complete her studies in a down-to-earth manner.
Xu Xiaoyu wiped his eyes and said, "Mom, you don't have to send me any more money......
"Xiaoyu, you ......"
Cai Lanfen was in a hurry, and hurriedly interrupted, she thought that Xu Xiaoyu was going to drop out of school.
"Mom, don't get excited, listen to me slowly."
Xu Xiaoyu interrupted her words in turn and smiled lightly.
