Chapter Forty-Eight: Digging Bamboo Shoots and Catching Chickens

Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele walked side by side, and the three younger siblings had already run away.

"How long has it been since they've been out to play?"

Xie Zi'an sighed lightly: "When didn't you see them go out?"

Qi Lele laughed, "Children are like this."

Xie Zi'an said, "Will cultivating two crops on one acre of land at the same time affect fertility?"

Qi Lele was surprised: "You still know fertility?"

Xie Zi'an tilted his head to look at her.

Qi Lele smiled playfully before saying, "Reasonable intercropping should not have much effect, but can promote the harvest."

From her tone and demeanor, it was enough to see that she was sure of this matter, not just seen it.

Xie Zi'an was interested: "In this case, we will buy another 20 acres of fertile land."

Qi Lele couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Can you count the silver in your pocket first?"

"The 500 taels that Zizhuo studied can't be moved, we have just spent 200 taels, you only have 900 taels left, and if you buy another 20 acres of fertile land, it will cost 400 taels, to say the least, right? The remaining 500 taels is only enough for 5 months' expenses, don't you panic?"

Xie Zi'an smiled, "Isn't there a lady here?"

"I'm just a country girl with long hair and short knowledge, and you're exalting me too much."

The corners of Xie Zi'an's lips were slightly raised, and the smile in his eyes was deep, and his ink-like eyes seemed to be full of starlight.

Qi Lele tilted his head violently and muttered, "It's okay to laugh nonsense!"

"Madame, don't worry, if it really can't work, I'll sell some collections, and I can't worry Madame."

"The loser is always thinking about selling his collection!" Qi Lele said angrily, "When you go back, copy the book for me!" Earn money!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll copy it tonight."

Glancing at the three brothers and sisters who were spreading joy not far away, Xie Zi'an added, "Let Ziyan and Ziwen be together."

Xie Ziyan, who was planning to wait where to catch pheasants, suddenly sneezed, and Xie Ziwen on the side also hit one, the two touched their noses, and continued to mumble.

As they spoke, they had reached the bottom of the mountain, and the weeds in the vicinity had grown much more than the last time, almost knee-high. They each picked up a long stick, surrounded Xie Sixian in the middle, and beat around as they went.

In the early spring, the snakes that have slept for a winter are coming out of their holes one after another, so you have to be careful.

There was a path up the hill that had been trampled by the crowd, and they were now walking up the path.

Qi Lele walked and looked around, the wild vegetables in this season can be said to be everywhere, the mountain is especially fresh and tender, there are familiar remember the location, and then take some back when you dig the bamboo shoots.

"There's a bamboo forest in front of you, and Uncle Wang caught two chickens there last time."

Following Xie Ziyan's hand, Qi Lele saw a large bamboo forest, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, only seeing the dim inside.

This bamboo forest Siya has also been here, but just looking at the memory always has a feeling of being separated by a veil, seeing it with his own eyes at this time, Qi Lele's heart can't help but jump, you know, the spring bamboo shoots in this season are the most refreshing and tender!

"Let's go!"

Digging bamboo shoots, Qi Lele doesn't say how familiar he is, but he has also dug it anyway. However, when she really entered the bamboo forest, she was blind.

What about bamboo shoots? How to see only bamboo!

Qi Lele doesn't believe in evil, and he turned around for a long time, but he still didn't see the bamboo shoots, could it be that they hadn't grown yet?

Not only Qi Lele, but Xie Sixian also spun around like a headless fly, seeing that her little face was about to stick to the soil, but she still didn't find it: "Sister-in-law, why isn't it?"

Qi Lele sighed, "I didn't find it either."

At this time, Xie Zi'an squatted not far away and waved at them, and the two immediately approached.

"At this time, the bamboo shoots have not yet grown, only a little bit of point, and you have to peel away the grass and soil to see it." Xie Zi'an said, stretching out his slender white fingers to pull through the black-brown dirt: "Look, this is it."

Qi Lele's gaze couldn't help it

The Lord stared at his hand and did not squeak for a moment.

Xie Sixian wrinkled a small face: "Is it so big? How much do you have to dig to eat?"

"Keep enough for you to eat!"

Qi Lele came back to his senses and secretly spit on himself: "I'll dig it!"

Xie Zi'an smiled and gave up his position: "Don't look at this is only a little pointy, the size in the soil is not small."

Qi Lele nodded, holding a small shovel around the tip of the bamboo shoots and began to dig the soil.

Xie Sixian was also carefully pulling beside her.

Xie Zi'an looked at it for a while, then went to the side to find another bamboo shoot, and he was digging with a hoe.

Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen ran away from the bamboo forest since they entered the bamboo forest, probably looking for pheasants and hares, and Xie Zi'an didn't bother to care about them.

Qi Lele shoveled for a long time, her back was sweating, and the bamboo shoots were only a little exposed, she raised her neck and planned to rest for a while, and inadvertently saw Xie Zi'an's movements.

Obviously, he looks like a handsome man, but he looks decent when he swings his hoe, one after another, steady and accurate, and his breath is not messy, but after a while, the bamboo shoot on the ground is about to show its roots.

Xie Zi'an hoeed twice, stopped his movements, and aimed the hoe at the root with a force, and the bamboo shoot was in his hand.

Xie Sixian cheered, ran over and laboriously picked up the bamboo shoots from the soil, and did not dislike the dirt on them, with a bright smile on her face: "Big brother is amazing! I've got bamboo shoots to eat tonight!"

Xie Zi'an laughed and looked at Qi Lele.

Qi Lele looked at the hoe in his hand, and then at the small shovel in his hand, and felt the importance of tools.

Of course, she will never admit that she has a technical problem!

"Lend me a hoe."

Xie Zi'an smiled at the corner of his lips and offered it with both hands.

Qi Lele took it, feeling that the bottom of his hand was sinking, this hoe is not light. She gritted her teeth and steadied herself before wielding her hoe to dig.

As a result, I mustered up the strength to dig the second time, the head was off, a hoe hit the tender bamboo shoot, cut it in half, half buried in the soil, half crooked aside, the section is snow-white, it is delicious at first sight!

Qi Lele was so distressed that he stared at the broken bamboo shoot for a long time, and silently put down the hoe: "It's better for you to come."

Xie Zi'an finally couldn't help it, raised his head and laughed, and his hearty laughter echoed in the forest.

Before Qi Lele could get angry, Xie Ziyan's voice suddenly came from the depths of the forest: "Big brother and sister-in-law! Fast! Prepare, let's get the pheasants here!"

Xie Ziwen was also shouting, "There are several!"

Qi Lele threw away the hoe, turned around and picked up the long stick, pheasant, she had never seen it alive!

A few minutes later, Qi Lele looked at a group of brightly colored animals with long tail feathers flying towards Hulala, speechless.

You call this a chicken? Whose chickens can fly as high as mid-air? Isn't this a bird?

And also! How many are such a large group? You're afraid you didn't poke the pheasant's nest, right?
