Chapter 304: A Spoiled Face (Second Watch)

"What can you do, get some rat poison and poison them!"

Qi Xiong said.

"Are you crazy? This is out, we're all done! "Qi Tiandao.

"What can I do? , you can't hold it all the time, right? Qi Xiong said angrily.

The brothers used to be bullies in the village.

One is more ruthless than the other, and bullying the people in the village is even more common.

But now, the bone of the Lao Yu family is not easy to gnaw, and even Qi Ba has to think of a way to insure himself.

"Big brother, you're talking!" Qi Xiong said.

"You know, what are the Yu brothers doing when they're not working?" Qi Ba asked.

"What for??"

"Sell firewood! In our village, there are no mountains nearby, even if you want to get firewood, you have to go to the mountains in Zhoujiagou to pick it up.

The people in the village were busy with the things in the fields and didn't have time to pick up firewood at all, so Yu Lao Er and Yu Lao Wu relied on picking up some firewood and selling it to the villagers for a few dollars. Qi was domineering.

"Big brother, what are you talking to us about? Why don't you let us collect firewood? Qi Xiong asked.

Unexpectedly, Qi Ba really nodded.

"That's right, the old Yu family's current dry land has all been converted to watermelons, so watermelons will definitely not work!" Qi is domineering.

"Therefore, this firewood and He business has become their main source of income, if we can rob them of their business, the people of the Lao Yu family, won't they be able to make money? If you can't earn money, you won't be able to eat, and people will starve to death, so what will you do to fight us? Qi was domineering.

As soon as he finished saying this, the other three brothers of the Qi family all looked suddenly enlightened.

"Big brother, I understand! The four of us brothers, we must have strength, have strength! If you want time, if you have time, let's go collect firewood now.

As soon as the two brothers of the Yu family come out to sell firewood, we will have a lower price than them, and the people in the village like to be cheap, and when the time comes, they will definitely buy our firewood and not buy them.

In this way, the people of the Lao Yu family, without income, can only wait to starve to death! ”

"Haha, that's right, that's it!"

The four brothers of the Qi family have all thought of ways to trap people.

After speaking, Qi Ba took the lead, and the four of them went home, preparing to go to the mountains on the other side of Zhoujiagou early the next morning to chop firewood.

……

……

At night, Xia Qiqi asked Mrs. Yu to boil a large pot of boiling water.

This is used to soak watermelon seeds, watermelon seeds are not easy to germinate, if you simply throw them in the ground, you don't know that the year of the monkey can germinate.

Therefore, Xia Qiqi can only use the safest method to increase the germination rate.

When she first proposed to soak the seeds, the people of the Lao Yu family were stunned.

None of the people had ever seen Xia Qiqi sprout like this, and they poked their heads out one by one, waiting to see what Xia Qiqi did.

"Qiqi, we haven't seen this method, can it be done?"

Mrs. Yu saw that Xia Qiqi scooped two scoops of hot water into the wooden barrel and added another scoop of cold water, so she couldn't hold back and asked.

"Give it a try!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

She didn't say much, these methods were all she had seen in some modern agricultural books.

The ancients had not yet used this method.

The reason why boiling water and cold water are used to soak the seeds is to make the water temperature reach the temperature that allows the watermelon seeds to germinate.

When the temperature is reached, the budding rate is naturally high.

Xia Qiqi scooped four scoops of boiling water and mixed two scoops of cold water to go down, the water temperature at this time was almost fifty degrees, she threw all the watermelon seeds into it, and kept stirring it with her hands.

Mrs. Yu and Yu Shun, two brothers, were dumbfounded.

As for Lu Jiu, he has always trusted Xia Qiqi, and at this moment, he is squatting at the mouth of the stove, eating sweet potatoes, and occasionally his eyes are removed from eating and placed on Xia Qiqi.

When she was working, she was very serious, she didn't make any small movements, and when she did one thing, she concentrated on one thing.

It's like Lu Jiu eating.

It took a long time to stir three sticks of incense inside before Xia Qiqi took his hand out of the wooden barrel.

At this time, the water in the barrel was almost cold.

The people of the Lao Yu family, seeing her take her hand, immediately came up.

"Qiqi, that's all right?" Yu Shun asked curiously.

Xia Qiqi said: "Not yet, I have to soak it for two hours, and then find a piece of gauze to wrap these seeds!" ”

"Gauze? I've got it in the house, I'll get it! Mrs. Yu said.

"What more?" Yu Shun asked.

"Hay! Gauze-wrapped seeds should be stuffed into the haystack! Xia Qiqi said.

"I'll prepare!" Yu Fu Dao.

Everyone did their jobs, and an hour later, Xia Qiqi fished out the watermelon seeds from the bucket, carefully stuffed them into the gauze, and then put the gauze in the haystack.

After doing all this, Xia Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Today's business, it's almost over, and the rest will wait for tomorrow morning to see the germination rate of this watermelon seed! By the way, the second uncle, the fifth uncle, we have to go to the field tomorrow morning, dig a piece of land out, and prepare for planting! Xia Qiqi said.

Yu Shun and Yu Fu hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get up early tomorrow!" ”

"Then go to bed early today, tomorrow is a tough battle!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

After speaking, Yu Shun, Yu Fu and Mrs. Yu took the lead to go back to their rooms.

After eating the last piece of sweet potato in Lu Jiu's hand, he also walked out from the position of the stove mouth.

"Are you full?" Xia Qiqi asked.

Lu Jiu had a smile on his face, and he said to Xia Qiqi without being salty, "En! ”

"Ah Jiu, today, I'm bothering you again!" Xia Qiqi looked at him and said.

Lu Jiu was stunned, and then remembered that in the afternoon, the family who came to find trouble should be the old Qi family!

Thinking of the old Qi family's scolding Qiqi, Lu Jiu's deep eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness.

But immediately, he restrained his emotions.

He stretched out his hand and touched Xia Qiqi's head, looking doting.

He still doesn't like to talk about it, and he always feels that many things, needless to say, Qiqi will understand what he means.

Xia Qiqi was touched by Lu Jiu's hair so affectionately, and his face was instantly covered with red glow.

She shouted, "Ah Jiu, don't use the same trick to deal with Xiaobai, I'm different from Xiaobai!" ”

The smile on Lu Jiu's face became brighter and brighter.

Of course, you are different from Xiaobai, Xiaobai is the prey, you are ...... Loved the people!

Xia Qiqi wasted the boss's strength, did not break free from Lu Jiu's clutches, and his good hair was kneaded into a chicken nest.

Her face, too, turned the color of pig liver because of anger.

Fortunately, Lu Jiu accepted it when he saw it, and on the verge of Xia Qiqi's outbreak, he withdrew his hand.

Lu Jiu, who withdrew his hand, washed his hands, and in a blink of an eye, he pulled Xia Qiqi back to the house to sleep.

The rooms of the two of them were connected together, and Lu Jiu slept next to Xia Qiqi, just next to a wall, and in order to facilitate the burning of the kang, the two kangs were put together.

If it's quiet at night, you can hear voices coming from the other side.
