Chapter 221: Ascending the Mountain Again

"It's all from the villagers, and only when the whole village is good, everyone is better." Mu Xiu's words made Chen Xiangyang feel extremely comfortable, after all, as a village cadre, he still attaches more importance to political achievements.

"Xiu, if you can have such thoughts, why can't the village develop well, and now everyone is keen on you to open up the wasteland, one or two come to me to make trouble." Chen Xiangyang couldn't help but complain.

Mu Xiu had long thought that the opening of the wasteland would cause the villagers to blush, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and before he began to harvest, some people began to be unwilling.

"Wasteland is a good thing, everyone is willing to open up wasteland, and I am willing, but as soon as I said that the rent of this acre of land is ten yuan a year, I immediately quieted down a group of people, and a few families, each asked for three acres of wasteland, and I only completed it two days before the contract." Chen Xiangyang continued.

"By the time the autumn harvest arrives, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people going to open up the wasteland." Mu Xiu knows how much the harvest of land will stimulate these villagers.

"After the autumn harvest, I'm busy." Chen Xiangyang shook his head and went home.

Chen Xiangyang is also a man of action, and soon bought the fish fry, under the guidance of Mu Xiu, we first heightened and strengthened the ridge, and dug a ditch in the shape of "ten" or "#" in the position of the edge of the field and the corner of the field, 40 to 50 centimeters wide and 50 to 60 centimeters deep, and the drainage and outlet were also installed with a fish barrier made of bamboo strips, and then the disinfection of the rice field.

Mu Xiu soaked the fry with bleach for ten minutes, completed the disinfection, and then everyone led the fry back to stocking, and then wrote down the matters that should be paid attention to afterwards and handed it to Chen Xiangyang.

With the rice and fish fry put down, all the busyness of everyone gradually eased, and the next days were to go to the field to weed, fertilize, and pay more attention to the movement in the field.

Chen Xuhui did not forget to read books when he was busy with farming, and in just a few months, under the guidance of Mu Xiu, he had completed all the courses in the third grade.

On the contrary, Li Pandi, because she is young, can't bear it, and she has calves and piglets at home, her favorite thing to do every day is to pick wild vegetables and cook wild vegetables to feed the calves and piglets.

Mu Xiu is not reluctant, but the five words assigned every day must be learned, Li Pandi can now know a thousand words, mathematics, multiplication formulas will be memorized to six.

According to today's progress, as long as Chen Xuhui is willing to work hard, by this time in the year after tomorrow, the content of junior high school will almost be learned, and when the time comes, Mu Xiu will be able to go to high school with Chen Xuhui, although Chen Xuhui will be eighteen years old the year after next, but at that time, there are many people in their twenties who are in high school.

"Mu Xiu." Chen Xuhui, who was writing, suddenly raised his head and shouted softly.

"What's wrong? Brother Chen? Mu Xiu thought that there was something wrong with Chen Xuhui, and his eyes fell on the homework paper.

"I want to go into the mountains again, when there are many wild fruits and hares and pheasants in the mountains." Chen Xuhui said cautiously, only worried that Mu Xiu would think that he was not serious about studying.

"Okay, let's go together." Mu Xiu has been so busy lately that he has forgotten about going up to the mountains to hunt.

"Mu Xiu, you don't think I'm wasting my time, right?" Chen Xuhui couldn't help but ask.

"The people take food as the sky, who will have trouble with eating, Brother Chen, you have to eat enough to study, so you have the strength to study." Mu Xiu said with a smile: "The water in the field was watered last night, and the weeds were pulled, so let's go today." ”

"Today? But you didn't rest until late last night, wouldn't it be too hard? Chen Xuhui looked at Mu Xiu's hands with some distress, and their hands were swollen.

"Farmers are the hardest at all times." Mu Xiu felt that she had never been so tired in her previous life as in this life.

"Brother Chen, I'll go and bring something to eat, and you can also go and clean up the things you should take."

"Okay."

Mu Xiu explained to Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao, and in the voice of the two of them telling them to be careful, he and Chen Xuhui went up the mountain with the basket on their backs.

It was already the beginning of June, and the morning sun was already very hot, and after walking for a while, the two of them were already sweating profusely, but fortunately, the branches of the trees were blocking part of the sunlight.

When passing by a large field of wild strawberries, Mu Xiu had an idea and said to Chen Xuhui, who was looking for prey in front: "Brother Chen, I'll drink some water first and take a rest." ”

"Then you just sit here and don't move, I'll go ahead and take a look and come back." Chen Xuhui found traces of pheasants and chased after them.

Mu Xiu saw Chen Xuhui's figure disappear, she stood up, unceremoniously pulled up the wild strawberries whole, and threw them into the space with the red strawberries.

Mu Xiu likes to eat strawberries very much, these wild strawberries are very sour, and it tastes good to make jam with more honey.

After a while, Chen Xuhui came back, with an excited face, and whispered: "Mu Xiu, there should be several pheasants in front, you follow me, don't run away, pay attention to the light voice." ”

Mu Xiu nodded, at this time, on the mountain, compared with the depression in late autumn, it was really wild grass, and it was particularly troublesome to walk.

Streaming down!

Not far away, a cluster of branches swayed.

Mu Xiu and Chen Xuhui immediately looked over there.

I saw a gray rabbit, startled by the sound of their movements, and its agile little body scurried towards the bushes.

Chen Xuhui's eyes lit up instantly, and the movements in his hands were even faster, he picked up a homemade slingshot, quickly felt out the stone from his pocket, and with a whoosh, the stone burst out, hitting the hare's head at once.

The rabbit that was hit fell down in response, struggling to get up and dig it out, Chen Xuhui immediately rushed forward with an arrow step, grabbed the rabbit struggling on the ground, it was hit in the head, and just ran away by instinct, after being caught at this time, it didn't move all of a sudden, it seemed to faint.

It was the first time for Mu Xiu to see Chen Xuhui catching a rabbit, and he followed with an excited face, Chen Xuhui tied the four legs of the hare with a rope and threw it into the bamboo basket.

"Brother Chen, you are too powerful." Mu Xiu looked at Chen Xuhui with a smile in his eyes.

"It's very simple, I'll teach you next time." Chen Xuhui was blushed by Mu Xiu's laughter.

This rabbit weighs at least three pounds, and it is alive, but I don't know if it is male or female, Mu Xiu looked around, and was still thinking about catching a few more rabbits and going back to continue raising rabbits.

Next, along the way, although they encountered hares a few times, because of the distance, they were very timid, and they ran very like they were running away when they heard the sound of wind and grass, and it was difficult to catch up.

"Mu Xiu, give, eat this." Chen Xuhui chased a pheasant just now and ran over, but now he came back with a few fruits, and while eating them himself, he handed the fruits in his hand to Mu Xiu.
