returned home with Ling Zhongchi and Ling Xiaoyue.

Mom and Dad have really returned.

"Lao Li, sister-in-law, Xiaoyu, you can almost pass after you are busy for a while." Ling Zhongchi said.

Li Xianyu and his parents responded separately.

After that, Ling Zhongchi left.

Ling Xiaoyue didn't go back with her. She has to wait and go over with Li Xianyu later.

"Xiaoyu, you go and put the chickens away." Mom said to Li Xianyu.

Li Xianyu agreed, and then came to the chicken coop on the right side of the yard.

There are more than a dozen chickens in the house. Mainly hens, and there are only two roosters.

On the right side of the courtyard is a small bamboo forest, with an area of about 50 square meters.

The bamboo forest is fenced off on all sides.

The fence is made of bamboo strips, which is the chicken coop used by Li Xianyu's family to close the chickens.

During the day, the chickens are kept in it.

For a dozen chickens, an activity area of about fifty square meters is quite large. It's nice to look for worms to eat inside.

In the evening, they are released for a stroll outside and then put in a chicken coop in the yard.

At this time, all the chickens arrived at the door of the chicken coop.

They know that this is usually the time when their owners come to let them out.

So I arrived at the door early and waited. Very smart.

Li Xianyu opened the door of the chicken coop. More than a dozen chickens fluttered their wings and couldn't wait to go outside.

After all the chickens came out, Li Xianyu walked into the chicken coop.

He's going to see if there's any eggs?

There should be. Basically, there will be eggs every day, as little as two or three, as many as seven or eight.

Walk to the hen coop.

There are three chicken coops placed side by side. There are eggs in every nest.

It adds up to a total of seven eggs. It looks quite pleasant.

Not bad, not bad.

Li Xianyu picked up the seven eggs.

It's an authentic egg, an absolute good.

When there were more eggs in the house, my father would take some to the town market and sell them.

Get out of the coop.

Ling Xiaoyue was also very happy when she saw the egg in Li Xianyu's hand, "So many!" ”

Li Xianyu smiled and nodded.

In addition to chickens, the family also has ducks, geese, and rabbits.

There are quite a few poultry.

There are about a dozen ducks, and there are fewer geese, only five.

On the left side of the weir pond, there is a small weir pond with an area of about 20 square meters, which is surrounded by a fence, which is a place specially used to raise ducks and geese.

You can also pick up duck eggs and goose eggs every day.

As for the rabbits, they are kept in a specially built rabbit cage outside the left side of the yard.

There are more than a dozen rabbits, all black and gray, no white.

None of the people in the village seem to like raising white rabbits.

As for why? Li Xianyu didn't know either.

Every two or three days, my mother would go and cut a basket of rabbit grass and come back.

The rabbit's main ration is grass. The cost of breeding is relatively low.

After putting the eggs away, Li Xianyu went to put the ducks and geese again. At the same time, three duck eggs and one goose egg were picked up.

Very gratifying.

My mother prepared the chickens, ducks, and geese to eat and began to feed them.

The chickens, ducks and geese should be fed once a day after they are put back.

The main food is boiled sweet potatoes mixed with rice bran and corn flour.

Some corn kernels will also be fed.

In addition to eating tender corn, the corn grown at home is mainly used to feed chickens, ducks and geese.

Sweet potatoes too.

In the past, pigs were raised, and sweet potatoes were mainly used to feed pigs.

Now that pigs are no longer raised, sweet potatoes are mainly used to feed chickens, ducks and geese.

Of course, people will also eat some.

When roasting and cooking, peel a sweet potato and cook it in small pieces.

It's still quite delicious to eat.

After everything was done, I went to Uncle Ling's house for dinner.

It's a few steps away.

Xu Qing had already prepared the meal.

Li Xianyu likes to eat home-cooked carp, as well as back pot meat, sausage and bacon.

A table of dishes, very hearty.

……

The next day.

Today I went to help Uncle Ling's house plant seedlings.

Wake up early in the morning after breakfast.

Go out with mom and dad.

Meet with Ling Zhongchi and Xu Qing.

Ling Xiaoyue's girl said yesterday that she would also go with her to help plant seedlings, but now the girl obviously hasn't gotten up yet.

Ling Zhongchi and Xu Qing didn't wake her up.

Let that girl sleep well on the weekend.

After all, when I usually go to school, I get up very early every day.

Ling Zhongchi and Xu Qing asked Li Xianyu not to help.

But Li Xianyu insisted on going. Ling Zhongchi and Xu Qing could only agree.

A few people went to the paddy field where the seedlings were raised.

Seedlings, that is, rice seedlings.

Seedlings are needed to grow rice.

Seeds are first sprinkled in the soil and the seeds are allowed to germinate and grow seedlings about five centimeters tall.

The seedlings were then transplanted into the mud beds of the paddy fields.

The so-called mud bed is to make mud into a flat block above the water surface in a paddy field.

The seedlings continue to grow in the mud bed. When it grows to a height of about 30 centimeters, it becomes a seedling.

At this time, the rice planting can be officially planted.

In the village, it is called planting seedlings.

Several people went down to the field and pulled out the seedlings from the mud bed one by one, and tied them into small bundles.

Then the bundles of seedlings were carried into the seedling field.

Formal planting of seedlings.

You need to go down to the field and plant the seedlings one by one.

Now there are some places where hand-throwing is invented.

It is just to stand on the ridge and throw the seedlings directly into the field.

It's fast, but in the end, the growth and harvest of rice are definitely not as good as transplanting.

Therefore, Li Xianyu will not use the method of throwing seedlings by hand.

Rice planting is planting while going backwards.

In the previous life, the poem of the Budai monk during the Tang Dynasty was very right.

"Planting green seedlings all over the field, looking down to see the sky in the water.

A pure heart is the way, and regression is the way forward. ”

A very philosophical Zen poem.

Li Xianyu was deeply impressed by this poem and liked it quite a bit.

When to write it out in the world.

……

West lake.

The story of "The Legend of the White Snake" began to spread in West Lake.

More and more people are taking the initiative to tell the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" to those who don't know "The Legend of the White Snake".

Of course, everyone only talked about Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian taking the same boat, and then Xiaoqing and the old boatman sang a duet "Crossing Love", and it was over.

Because Li Xianyu only talked about this.

Almost everyone was pleasantly surprised after listening to the story.

West Lake, Broken Bridge, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, this story is quite good.

It feels like an old legend.

Moreover, the songs in it are also quite good.

Both the tune and the lyrics are quite beautiful.

While people are looking forward to new story content, they are also very much looking forward to the appearance of new songs.

A story can make people look forward to the song as well as the content itself. This is definitely the first time ever.

In this respect alone, "The Legend of the White Snake" is unique. It would never be an exaggeration to say that it has created a historical precedent.

I heard that the author of "The Legend of the White Snake" is still a young man.

Young people are too powerful nowadays, right?

There is no doubt that the young man was not only a very good writer, but also a very good musician.

Only if you are excellent in both of these aspects can you create the work "The Legend of the White Snake".

Quite a powerful young man.

However, it's just too tricky.

The story is not finished, and it has even just been told at the beginning, and then there is no more.

Isn't this a pit man?

Everyone complained again, quite depressed.
