Chapter 101: Everyday Life
The busy day ended when it was about to get dark, and part of the land in the lower river dam completely changed color, and most of the soil turned up was fat and oily black soil.
It is said that the Xiaheba and even the market of Grayyuan Town were a large lake a long time ago, and then a large amount of mud and sand and gravel were alluvial from the upstream water, and the current Grayyuan Town was gradually created, and the area of Xiaheba is said to be part of the original lake.
The villagers of the two villages have worked very hard, and when they first opened up the wasteland, they had removed a thick layer of stones from the ground, and now they have been deeply cultivated, and the deep soil has been turned out.
"Zhao Dongjia, your land is really fertile, and this year's harvest will definitely be very good."
"Dig a little deeper, it's all black soil."
"If only we had such fertile land in our village."
"How else to say that Zhao Dongjia's vision is good, for so many years, no one has thought of coming here to open up wasteland."
"I'm also lucky, don't you still have to rely on everyone's help." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
…………
Waiting for the meal, Zhao Yuan followed the villagers of the two villages to sit on the bench in the courtyard and chat, and after a while, dinner was ready.
"Uncle Lizheng, depending on everyone's progress, it will take almost four days to finish turning the ground." At the dinner table, Zhao Yuan said.
"It should be no problem, Zhao Dongjia, have you prepared the seeds?" Wen Jianglang wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and asked.
"When you're ready, it's fast to work with more people." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
……
After eating, it was already dark, the villagers of the two villages went home together with torches, and the table, chopsticks and chopsticks were cleaned up by Wang Guihua and Meng Ying.
"Uncle, shall we go for a walk now?" Maybe I was a little hungry after playing all afternoon, and Luoluo ate a little too much for dinner, and the little girl who was holding on asked.
"Okay, let's go for a walk, the white head and the black tiger haven't been fed yet." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.
On the night of the beginning of the month, when the moon was barely visible in the sky, Zhao Yuan and the three of them came to the donkey shed with torches, fed the two donkeys fodder, and then returned to the yard and slowly turned around.
"I don't know how the old man is, uncle, it should be very cold on the mountain." Meng Ying looked up in the direction of Lao Mountain and said.
"It should be no problem, uncle, they have also spent some time on the old mountain before, and there are so many of them." Zhao Yuan also looked at the old man, but he couldn't see anything.
"Uncle, last time you and grandpa went to the old mountain and brought back a lot of chicken legs, can we plant them in the vegetable field." Luoluo asked.
"Okay, Luoluo, do you want to plant the chicken thighs in your vegetable garden?" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
"I want to plant a few prickly bubbles." Speaking of hairy chicken legs, Luoluo thought of the prickly bubbles that she picked on the northern slope of Zhaojiazhuang, licked her lips and said.
"That's okay, in this way, when your grandfather and they come down from the old mountain, we will ask them to help dig some thorn trees, and then plant a circle along the vegetable garden." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, not only the black prickly bubbles that I ate at the beginning, but also the red ones." Luoluo added.
"Okay, when the time comes, Luoluo will ask grandpa and them to help find it."
"Brother Yuan, I feel that our family is getting better and better." Meng Ying said on the side.
"Life is just going to get better and better." In the dark, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying's little hand and said.
Since Luoluo slept in a separate room, Zhao Yuan was alone with Meng Ying during this time, although he did not break through the last step, but there were a lot of embarrassing things, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.
"Uncle, I didn't write a diary today." Luoluo suddenly thought that not only did she not study today, but she even forgot to write a diary to write every day.
"Then Luoluo, you remember to make up for it tomorrow, maybe Luoluo will be a talented woman in the future." Hearing Luoluo's jumping words, Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"How is a talented girl?" Luoluo asked.
"Okay, Luoluo, you're going to come on." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, but thinking of some talented women in history, it seems that their fate is very bumpy.
"Alright, let's go wash up in hot water." With the help of the light coming from the house, Zhao Yuan and the three of them walked slowly in the courtyard, talking with Meng Ying, teasing the little girl, feeling that they had eaten, Zhao Yuan proposed to go back to the house to wash.
After closing the courtyard door and returning to the house, after washing up, Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying waited for Luoluo to fall asleep before returning to the bedroom, and fell asleep after a while.
Early in the morning, Zhao Yuan woke up early, looked at Meng Ying who was still sleeping on the side, Zhao Yuan got up gently, looked at Meng Ying's somewhat messy long hair, lowered his head and kissed Meng Ying's forehead, and walked out of the bedroom.
Thanks to the exercise during this time, Zhao Yuan felt that his body was much stronger than his later self, and the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early also made Zhao Yuan feel energetic all day long.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth with the cold water in the tank, he opened the courtyard gate and ran on the still dim side road, and the slightly cold air in the early morning made Zhao Yuan feel a lot more energetic all of a sudden.
By the time Zhao Yuan finished running a lap, it was about more than 2,000 meters, and when he returned to the yard, Meng Ying and Luoluo also got up and exercised in the yard, and Luoluo was obviously still a little confused.
"Brother Yuan, you didn't wake me up when you got up." Seeing Zhao Yuan coming back with a slight gasp, Meng Ying said.
"Thinking that you were tired from farming yesterday, I asked you to sleep with Luoluo for a while." Zhao Yuan walked slowly, calming down his breath that was a little hurried because of running.
"Alright, let's exercise." Waiting for Meng Ying to warm up with Luoluo, Zhao Yuan opened his posture and said.
"Okay, uncle, you stand in front, and my aunt and I will practice with you." After running for a while, Luoluo was also in good spirits.
Although it has only been more than half a month, Zhao Yuan has already practiced the monkey boxing taught by Qian Hu and the four people, which is mainly due to the many scientific exercise methods in Zhao Yuan's mind, which has increased the flexibility of the body a lot.
After the exercise, the villagers from Yakou Village and Dongquan Village who came to help also arrived, and after saying hello, they took a hoe and drove the ploughing cattle to the field to work, while Wang Guihua, who helped cook, helped Meng Ying make breakfast in the kitchen.
"Uncle, did you forget what you said yesterday to help me make a brand?" After Luoluo finished washing, he followed behind Zhao Yuan's ass and said.
"How could you forget, Uncle will help you do it after breakfast, Luoluo, do you want to write by yourself." Zhao Yuan really forgot about this, and was planting vegetables yesterday afternoon.
"Okay, uncle, do a good job." Luoluo said with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle will make a good-looking brand for Luoluo's vegetable garden." It's very simple to make a brand, Zhao Yuan has a very complete range of carpenter tools here, and he also learned some skills in using tools from Uncle Wen.
"I still have to write, uncle, aren't you reading a writing book today?" Luoluo saw Zhao Yuan wandering around the courtyard and asked.
"I'll look at it after breakfast later, so let's go find the plank to make the brand first." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, uncle, go find it, I'll help my aunt cook." Luoluo thought for a moment and walked towards the kitchen.
